Chapter 1 Family Affairs

It's an ordinary morning, on the quiet Wanglu Street, you can see smoke everywhere, all the people who just got up in the morning are busy lighting the fire and preparing for breakfast, there is a big mansion in the innermost part of the right hand side of Wanglu Street, the light of the purple-red paint whitewashed door can shine on people, in front of the door are two huge marble carved stone lions, and two big red lanterns hang above the plaque on the door, and the plaque is written with two big characters: Mofu.

"Uncle Liu, where is my father?" At this time, in the Mo Mansion, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was standing in the courtyard and asked a person dressed like a housekeeper.

"Young master, the master shouldn't have gotten up yet, and he should be in the inner room now. "This housekeeper is Liu Fulu, the head of the Mo Mansion, and it is Mo Chen, the only young master of the Mo Mansion, who asked him about it.

Needless to say, this is Mo Chasan's mansion, Mo Chasan has three concubines, but because he was busy with business when he was young, he walked around and his wives were also less and more separated, so there was only one son and one daughter under his knees, the son was Mo Chen, and the daughter's name was Mo Li.

Because he is an old man, Mo Chasan seems to love this son very much, that is really to the stars dare not give the moon, the same Mo Chen is also very sensible, he has shown a smart mind since he was a child, and when he was eleven or twelve years old, he began to help out in Mo Chasan's pawnshop.

Although Mo Chasan loves this little son very much, he is also clearly aware of the hardships of life after many years of travel, so he let Mo Chen read and write when he was very young, and hired a teacher to help Mo Chen learn martial arts.

The father can be said to be painstaking, and the son did not disappoint Mo Chasan, although Mo Chen is not a natural martial arts wizard, but what is commendable is that he has the spirit of hardship that ordinary children do not have, and began to smell the chicken and dance at the age of ten, and began to practice from the foundation under the guidance of the martial arts teacher, and it was five or six years in a flash, although he did not practice any high-level martial arts, but the basic skills were very solid.

Mo Chen's martial arts teacher is a declining dart master named Zhang Tao, because he is too old to walk the dart, Mo Chasan often has dealings with the dart game, so he invited him to be a teacher for his son. Zhang Tao looked at the sincerity of Mo Chasan's face and Mo Chen, a child who was also raised since he was a child, knew that his conduct was still good, and then thought that he would not be able to catch up with the dart now, so he promised Mo Chasan to be Mo Chen's martial arts teacher.

Zhang Tao practiced foreign martial arts, and foreign martial arts focused on strengthening the body and eating by the body, so from the first day he became Mo Chen's teacher, Zhang Tao emphasized the importance of physical exercise, first let Mo Chen take a horse step, and then practice resistance and endurance.

Seeing that her son was bruised every day, as Mo Chen's mother, Mo Chasan's third wife, was also distressed but didn't dare to say it, because she knew that this was for the good of her son, and the master didn't like women to talk nonsense in front of him, so he could only secretly shed tears.

To say that the Mo family is indeed a big family, and they spare no effort to cultivate Mo Chen, although Mo Chen is always scarred after martial arts training every day, but after coming back, it is a tonic, plus the exclusive secret recipe obtained from the imperial doctor for soaking in a bath to soothe muscles and bones, Mo Chen is refreshed every day for martial arts training, seeing that his son is so empathetic and his body is getting stronger and stronger, Mo Chasan is very pleased.

In this way, Mo Chen's daily arrangement is to train martial arts first, then go home for breakfast, take a bath and rest, then have lunch, and then go to Shangdang to help in the afternoon, unless it is a big festival, Mo Chen's schedule at other times can be said to be thunderous.

The same is true on this day, Mo Chen finished breakfast, came to see his father and talked about the results of his recent schoolwork and then went to rest.

I didn't expect my father to be still in the inner room, which is very different from the usual father's habits, usually at this time, my father should have been eating tea in the middle hall and waiting for him to ask for peace.

Mo Chen came to his father's inner room with a nervous mood, it was because his father was not in good health, and he had to inquire about it.

"Dad, are you inside?" Mo Chen looked inside and outside, but he didn't dare to break in, "Chen'er, come in and talk." ”

Hearing that Mo Chasan's voice did not change, Mo Chen's heart was put in his stomach, he pushed the door in, raised his eyes to look, and saw that there were candles lit in Mo Chasan's room, and a palm-sized jade Guanyin was placed on the coffee table in the inner room.

Mo Chasan watched Mo Chen come in, motioned for him to close the door, beckoned Mo Chen to sit next to him, pointed to the jade Guanyin and Mo Chen on the coffee table and said, "Chen'er, what do you think of this Jade Guanyin?"

Hearing that his father was going to test his eyesight, Mo Chen hurriedly cheered up the spirit of twelve, carefully looked at this jade Guanyin for a long time, and said, "This jade Guanyin is carved with fine mutton fat jade, and the knife work seems to be ingenious in one go, especially the net bottle seems to have pure water dripping under the light, which is definitely beyond the ability of the present world, this is a priceless treasure, Daddy." ”

Mo Chasan couldn't help but nod his head when he heard his son's evaluation, this is a priceless treasure, this is indeed true, but his son can have such a vision that makes Mo Chasan very happy.

"Daddy, I don't know where you got it, I'm afraid this priceless treasure can't be owned by us ordinary rich armor, right?" Mo Chen then expressed his worries.

Mo Chasan was really happy to hear that Mo Chen could have such a vision, and he didn't have any scruples to tell Mo Chen about his troubles.

In fact, in the past few days, Mo Chasan can't sleep at night, can't eat unwillingly, and is always panicked in his heart, it is because of this Jade Guanyin matter, Wang Weihuan died If no one knows that this Jade Guanyin is in his hands, but as long as someone is willing to investigate, he will still find his own, and now this Jade Guanyin is like a hot potato, I don't know where to send it if I want to send it, and I am afraid of summoning it for a disaster, and if it is sold, I dare not let people know.

Mo Chasan has been worried about this matter for a few months, and he didn't dare to confide in others, but this time he was discovered by his son, so he simply found a person to confide in and his son vomited bitterness.

Mo Chen has been in contact with all kinds of people because he has helped in Shangdang for a few years, and he has cultivated a good attitude, although he was also frightened by what his father said, but he did not panic, and he was relieved to see that his father was tortured by this matter, his eyes were red, and his hair was a few more strands of white hair, so he was relieved." Daddy, don't worry, this thing has been a lot of days, if something happened a long time ago, and it happened, let's just return this Jade Guanyin to him, it was originally pawned by Wang Weihuan to us, even if we hit the yamen, we would also take advantage of it. ”

Mo Chasan knew that this was his son comforting himself, how could he not know about it, but he was afraid that others would not reason with you, and when he got involved in this turmoil, it was very likely to bring death to himself, how could an ordinary rich family compete with the Jianghu sect organization, and it was more likely to cause a tragedy, how could he Mo Chasan be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors of the Mo family, but these can't be talked about with his son, in the end he is still too young to bear these things.

Thinking of this, Mo Cha Sanqiang pretended to laugh, "What my son said makes sense, but he is worried about his father." ”

Mo Chen was very happy to hear his father praise him, and he didn't care about Mo Chasan's barely squeezed smile, but excitedly talked to his father about his studies.

Mo Chasan also cooperated, nodding incessantly, but his eyes wandered, obviously thinking about something else.

When the two were talking, they heard another knock on the door outside, "Dad, are you in the house, little brother?"

It turned out to be Mo Chen's sister, who heard the housekeeper say that his father had not left the house yet, and his younger brother went in to find his father, and there was no news, so she was afraid that something would happen, so she had to find it herself.

Mo Chasan heard the voice of his daughter Mo Li and hurriedly said, "It's Li'er, your brother and I are fine, let's talk to the middle hall later." ”

When Mo Li heard her father say that there was nothing wrong, she did not suspect him, and agreed and withdrew.

Seeing that his father didn't let his sister know these things, Mo Chen knew that this was to keep his sister from worrying, and as the only man in the Mo family's generation, his father told him such an important thing, which proved that his father had admitted that his ability could help him share some things, thinking of this, Mo Chen's heart couldn't help but warm and at the same time, he felt pressure on his shoulders for the first time.

Mo Chasan quickly collected the Jade Guanyin in the dark grid, and led Mo Chen's hand to the middle hall, at this time the middle hall was already full of people, and Mo Chasan remembered that today was the day when the shopkeepers everywhere came to hand over the account books to the owner.

Seeing that the people in the middle hall were boiling and not lively, Mo Chasan was also driven by the enthusiasm boiling, and temporarily forgot the distress caused by Jade Guanyin.

Shopkeepers from all over the country came to see the owner coming, because Mo Chasan felt that the Mo family was scarce, so Miss Mo Li would also participate in this kind of business conference, in order to be able to help her younger brother even if Mo Li went out in the future, and kept the industry that the Mo family had accumulated for several generations.

Everyone is divided into guests and hosts to sit down, like this business conference will generally have once in half a year, each time open for three days, first the shopkeeper around the account book to report the income of the past half a year, and then deal with the problems encountered in half a year and reward and punish the collective and individual according to the performance of half a year, this is the most lively time of each conference, all the shopkeepers can be said to be full of tricks, arguing one after another, and even more is the old fist, the purpose is to be afraid of being punished.

Mo Chen and his sister Mo Li have participated in this kind of meeting three times in a row, which can be said to be a lot of benefits, and they can't help but see the shopkeepers forming gangs to achieve their goals, and they have also seen their father's iron-fisted methods, until much later, Mo Chen recalled this past and still remembered what his father said, some people have rivers and lakes, there are rivers and lakes, there are right and wrong, and if there is right and wrong, someone needs to wipe him out with a tough attitude, and Mo Chasan has always hoped that Mo Chen will become such a person.
