Chapter 075: Sending Material to the Old Man
In fact, Steward Li's own home is like an ice hole, and his wife has been frozen and sick for many days and has not gotten up, during which his son Li Yuan has been taking care of her. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is just that he is now full of how to get some coal for his master, even a small piece can be, that is enough for his master to warm his hands.
"Okay."
Two old men sat next to each other, wrapped in quilts and skinny.
"Mingzhu doesn't know what's going on?"
"The eldest lady will be fine."
"Hey......" The old man didn't say anything, just a lament. That kid has a low level of magic energy, and he has never been in contact with family affairs. Now in such bad weather, it is good for her to be able to protect herself.
The second half of the night soon came, and Steward Li himself was cold enough, but now he felt even more sorry for the old man whose face was as pale as snow.
There was no more heat in this room, but I was afraid that the master's body and bones would be damaged.
When I got up, I burned some dead branches, and the house was full of smoke, and there was not much heat in the house.
After that, when the two of them were sleeping in a daze, they suddenly heard a knock on the door, and both of them frowned, but fortunately they both woke up soon. With such a familiar knock on the door, Steward Li got out of bed and opened the door.
"Father, someone outside the old mansion said they wanted to see the old man." Li Yuan, who was originally full of vitality, is now full of white skin and red flesh, and the skin on his exposed joint hands is all cracked.
If the people of the Mo family army saw it, they must be surprised, after all, they haven't seen it yet. However, in the eyes of Steward Li, this appearance is no longer a surprising thing.
"Who is it?" Steward Li rubbed his hands and asked.
Li Yuan wanted to laugh, but he just moved and stopped, his face hurt so badly, he had to move his mouth and say, "It's the eldest lady, the eldest lady asked someone to bring us something back." ”
The old man in the house also came out when he heard the sound, and immediately said to Steward Li and Li Yuan: "Go and have a look, you must ask Mingzhu if it's okay?" Steward Li and Li Yuan both went out after agreeing immediately.
"They moved things to our yard and returned to the North Border again. Master, put on these fur boots and a big leather coat first. Steward Li said as he put it on for the old man, "Master, do you know that the eldest lady not only sent these fur clothes, but also many mutated mutton, which are most suitable for eating in such cold weather." There are also some other meats, in very large quantities, enough to be eaten for months. Old man, you may not know, the eldest lady also sent you a big gift. ”
"Coal?" The old man didn't look at him, his eyes were fixed on the things in Li Yuan's hand that came in from the door.
"Yes, it's these coals, not only do the eldest lady send back dozens of tons of coal, but the quality of each is something I haven't seen. Master, you don't have to be cold. ”
After a while, three or four pots of coal were burned in the house, and although it was impossible to make people feel warm immediately, the hearts of the three of them were warm, and the important thing was that there was hope.
"There are several of those furs that you can use, you have them. Send some meat and coal to the house, and only when the family is well can you take better care of me, an old fellow. "The old man of the Mo family finally has the spirit, and his face looks much better.
Mo Mingzhu is young but can handle a simple thing so thoughtfully, the old man is happy in his heart, and his whole body is warm with joy. Now that there is gold and silver, I am afraid that I can't buy such a warm fur coat, such a precious thing, but she has prepared one for Steward Li, Li Yuan, and the people in their family, although it is impossible to have smooth fur clothes like her whole body, inside and out, but one coat per person is still okay.
I'm afraid that this time, Steward Li has really handed over his loyalty.
Steward Li looked at the size of the fur coat and understood what was going on, so he immediately nodded in agreement, and asked Li Yuan to take the clothes, as well as a basket of coals and a small piece of meat home.
After sending Li Yuan away, he continued: "Those people from the eldest lady said ......."
Now it's almost dark, and many people in the family have gone home early, not going out, it's too cold outside.
The second master of the Mo family sat in the study, and asked Steward Bai with a bad face: "This is the best coal in the family?" As he spoke, he pointed to the warm coal basin on the ground, which seemed to be extinguished in the next second, and kept choking smoke coming out, which suddenly made the study more and more smoky: "This can be called coal, not even a wooden stick." I told you to go out and buy it, how did you buy it? ”
The white housekeeper was submissive, and his cracked face hurt when he moved, but he didn't dare not speak: "Master, other people in the family also went out to buy coal, but the best ones all went to Sima's house, and a small part of them were not sold at all, and even our kind of coal was hard to find." But don't be angry, it's not good to be angry. I'll send someone farther away to buy it right away. ”
"Then don't hurry up." As soon as the second master of the Mo family finished speaking, a puff of smoke rushed into his throat, and he choked and coughed violently. Butler Bai's expression that had just relaxed became tense again.
After waiting for the second master of the Mo family to stop coughing, the white housekeeper hurriedly slipped out of the study, and the second master of the Mo family saw everything in his hands, but he didn't say anything. The next second, he was slightly stunned: "What's the matter?" ”
The white butler who went out actually came back by himself: "Master, Steward Li is here to spread the word, and the old man wants you to organize other family members and hold a family meeting." ”
The second master of the Mo family snorted coldly: "Let Steward Li come to see me." "The second master of the Mo family is tired of the old man's affairs, but he still has to listen to what Steward Li has to say.
Butler Bai's face was pale, and he said weakly: "He has already left." ”
The second master of the Mo family's originally plain eyes were full of anger, as if he could breathe fire at any time.
"Master, Steward Li said that the master knows where there is good coal. Here's one of those pieces. The white butler said and took out the palm-sized coal that he had been carrying in his hand before.
The second master of the Mo family took the coal and looked at it twice, and decisively threw it into the coal brazier, and the study suddenly became quiet, only the crackling sound of the coal being burned.
Ten minutes later, a flame burst out of the brazier, and many small flames burst out of other originally lukewarm coals.
"Go and arrange a meeting, and everyone must be there in half an hour."
"Yes." The white butler looked at the brazier with blank eyes, and was reluctant to leave.
Half an hour later, many high-ranking members of the Mo family saw the three people wrapped in shiny fur coats, the old man of the Mo family in the front, and Steward Li and Li Yuan in the back.
Many high-level executives tightened their cotton clothes, but the cotton clothes, which were originally quite warm, always felt that a cold wind was blowing in.
Many eyes were glued to his clothes, the old man of the Mo family straightened his back even straighter, and the whole person seemed to have returned to the powerful head of the family three years ago.
