061 Helpless
Eleven Niang walked out of the small shop, and Xue Ye came out with him.
Eleven Niang thought about it, and decided to take Xue Ye to find the third aunt-in-law, and told Xue Ye what she meant, and Xue Ye nodded without hesitation.
Eleven Niang was surprised, she thought that Xue Ye should not like to deal with people outside.
Xue Ye seemed to see through her, a smile brewed in his eyes, and a smile on his face, "What you introduced must be good." β
Looking at his slightly shining eyes, Eleven Niang smiled, didn't dare to ask who gave him the confidence to believe in himself so much, one person led a horse, flew on the horse, and went to Lu'an Village.
The two soon arrived at Lu'an Village and first went to meet the second elder of the Mo family.
Old Mrs. Mo smiled and pulled Eleven Niang to look around, "It's too thin!" didn't wait for Eleven Niang to say anything, raised his hand and beckoned Mama to instruct the kitchen to stew a big tonic soup for Eleven Niang to drink.
Eleven Niang was stunned, thanked Mrs. Mo busily, and took Xue Ye to the courtyard of the third aunt and the third aunt.
"I just heard the maid say that you are here, I just fed your cousin, and I was about to go to my mother's place, so you came......" Aunt Luo smiled and sent the maid over with a brazier, simmered longan red date tea, and poured a cup for Eleven Niang, "Why did you go to the capital to lose so much weight?" But what happened? β
Eleven Niang shook her head, took the tea and held it in her hand, the hot air on her face, warm, Eleven Niang took a deep breath, and said with Aunt Luo San, "I was in a bit of a hurry when I came back, and I didn't eat well on the road, hehe......"
She wanted to reveal this topic in a few words, but was glared at by Aunt Luo, reached out and pinched her face, "Look at your face, it was round when you left, and now it's all pointed!" If it doesn't work, you have to make it up! Ruyi, you go to the kitchen and give an order, cook a pot for Miss Cousin......"
Eleven Niang was stunned, and hurriedly got up and pressed Aunt Luo's hand, "Third aunt, I have something to do with the third aunt, let's talk back, talk back ......"
While speaking, he glanced at Xue Ye on the side, Xue Ye hurriedly got up, Aunt Luo didn't shout twice, watching Shi Niang pull Xue Ye to the study, glaring at Shi Niang happily, and still instructed the girl next to her, "Go, tell the people in the kitchen, Miss Cousin will stay for dinner today, and let them cook a few more dishes that Miss Cousin likes to eat." β
Ruyi responded with a smile, and before she turned around and took two steps, Aunt Luo called out to her again, "Let them make more jujube mud cakes and cloud cakes, and go back to Miss Biao to take away." β
"Yes, Grandma." Ruyi smiled, "You brought back the jujube mud cake for Miss Xia Babiao, and Miss Xia Twelfth brought the cloud cake, so do you want to bring some other past for Miss Xia Erbiao and Miss Xia Sanbiao?" β
Aunt Luo thought for a while and said, "Pick a few furs from Weicheng some time ago and bring them back, it's easy to use to make clothes or press the bottom of the box, forget it, you go to the kitchen first and order, I'll go to the warehouse with Jixiang to pick it up." β
Ji Xiang smiled, "Grandma, the little master can't leave you for a moment, or you stay with the little master, and I'll go to the warehouse to help the two cousins choose?" β
Aunt Luo was a little embarrassed, and the nurse said beside her, "The little young master is very well-behaved, I'll just hold the little young master and accompany my grandmother." β
Jixiang and Ruyi glanced at each other, but before they could say anything, Aunt Luo had already nodded with a smile, and beckoned the nurse to go out of the yard and go to the warehouse with Brother Yun in her arms.
Here, Eleven Niang was led into the study by the little girl, Mo Shouzhen was reading a letter, saw Eleven Niang come in, put the letter aside, smiled and waved his hand to let the little girl serve tea, and unexpectedly saw Xue Ye who walked in with Eleven Niang, his breath was slightly suffocated, he hurriedly stood up from behind the desk, took a few steps forward, looked Xue Ye up and down a few times, and asked Eleven Niang with his eyes.
Eleven Niang bowed her head slightly, Mo Shouzhen's gaze immediately changed, as if she sighed, seemed to be pitiful, and finally condensed into a touch of respect, sighed softly, raised her hand and used a word, "Please." β
Xue Ye smiled and bowed to Mo Shouchen as a junior, but was stopped by Mo Shouchen, Xue Ye smiled and said, "Uncle Mo first, please." β
Mo Shouzhen was very happy, patted Xue Ye's shoulder, and said, "Okay." β
Mo Shou looked at his figure, although he had not yet grown, his posture was very upright! Although the expression on his face was bleak, the light smile was full of warmth, smiled, didn't let any more, and took the lead in sitting in the main seat.
The little servant served tea and was sent outside by Mo Shouzhen.
Eleven Niang explained her intentions, "There are two thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys who were sold to Jianghuai with Master Fan, one is named Xiao Ran, the other is named Xiao Qi, and the third aunt has a way in Jianghuai, can you help me inquire, and I will redeem them with money." β
Mo Shouchen frowned slightly, and asked Eleven Niang, "When is it?" β
"It's been more than a month." Eleven Niang's face was not good, and she glanced at Xue Ye, "It was Xue Ye who wrote to me......" and then told what happened at home, including the fact that her aunt Xia Hongxia deceived into the Xia family's small shop and instructed her daughter Ye'er to steal, and wanted to partner with Master Fan to do business, but after being rejected by Master Fan, she had bad intentions and sold Master Fan and others.
As for the dirty things in the old house, if Eleven Niang doesn't say it, Mo Shouzhen can also hear the clues from her words, and there is really no need to cover it up.
After Mo Shouchen heard this, he was speechless, "Leave this matter to me, and I will send you the news in half a month at the latest." β
"Thank you, third aunt." Eleven Niang smiled, with the help of the third aunt, things would be much smoother.
Mo Shouchen smiled and shook his head, "It's so polite to the third aunt." By the way, I also happened to have something to look for you, oh, the letter from Pingcheng just sent ......"
Mo Shouchen got up and took the letter on the bookcase to Eleven Niang, "Look at it." β
Eleven Niang was puzzled, took the letter and read it at a glance, and looked up in surprise, "Found quartz sand and borax?" β
Mo Shouchen's eyes were also full of smiles, "Limestone is very ordinary, and soda ash is also commonly used every day, and now there is only one feldspar missing." β
"So, the main raw materials are almost there, and as soon as the feldspar comes out, the glass can be put into production?!"
Mo Shou was earnest, but he smiled silently.
Eleven Niang smiled and put the letter away
Eleven Niang smiled, put down the letter and hugged Mo Shouchen, "Congratulations to Boss Mo for making a fortune!" β
Mo Shou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You girl, don't forget, there are still forty percent of shares here!" β
Eleven Niang raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of smiles.
Xue Ye was a little confused when he heard it, what is quartz sand? What is borax? What is glass?
He opened his mouth, paused again, looked at Shi Niang's wanton smile, and felt that she was born to laugh like this, and he couldn't help but laugh softly, but there was something deep in his eyes.
Since she knows Shi Niang, she surprises herself all the time, her eyes always hide the light that he can't see, dazzling and burning, so that he can't help but want to be close to absorb warmth and strength.
But the closer he gets, the more he feels that Eleven Niang has amazing energy, in front of her, he is thin like a baby, he can't write, he can't do martial arts, and he will always stand on the side of protection.
When will he be able to stand in front of Eleven Niang and become the party of protection?
Mo Shouchen saw the strangeness in Xue Ye's eyes at a glance, and glanced at Eleven Niang, who looked at Xue Ye's straight eyes, and replied to Mo Shouchen with a smile with some embarrassment, and coughed softly.
Xue Ye suddenly came back to his senses, his ears were rapidly red at a speed visible to his eyes, Eleven Niang was dumbfounded, Mo Shouzhen laughed, his eyes were full of laughter.
Eleven Niang supports her forehead, this little fart child looks at people when she looks at people, a pair of eyes are deep as if she can suck people in, and her ears are red at every turn? !
is usually a person with a lack of facial expression......
She really can't tell ten mouths!
Eleven Niang glared at Xue Ye angrily, suppressing Mo Shouzhen's laughter, "I brought back a person from the capital, and I guarantee that the third aunt can make a lot of money again, I have two percent, and you and him have forty percent each." But this thing needs sand, can the third aunt pick it up? β
"What's that? Let's hear it. When Mo Shouchen saw the strange eyes of the eleven mothers, he instinctively felt that it would be a good thing, so he couldn't help but smile, and asked with a smile as if he was a little flattering.
Eleven Niang was victorious and raised her eyebrows, "Does the third aunt know about cold melons?" β
"I know, the cold melon comes from Da Chu, and it is rumored to have the effect of clearing heat and quenching heat, quenching thirst, curing stuffiness, chest and diaphragm depression, and detoxifying alcohol." Mo Shouzhen suddenly smiled, the right color eleven Niang, there was expectation and hope in his eyes, "Isn't it ......"
He looked at Eleven Niang with burning eyes.
Shi Niang laughed, "The person I brought back is the one who planted the cold melon, maybe it was the first one in our Da'an to grow the cold melon." β
Mo Shouchen was inexplicably surprised, raised his head and laughed, "What's more! Each of the six countries has its own main industry, Dachu is famous for its cold melon, and only one cold melon is sold to other countries every year, and the silver obtained is more than the tax paid by our Da'an for several years; The Western Xia respected the glaze, and only relied on the sale of glazed bottles, which left us far behind; Nanzhao was invincible in the Six Kingdoms with gunpowder, and although the economy was not as good as that of Great Chu and Western Xia, no one dared to despise the surrounding countries; Northern Qi and Northern Zhou are located in a cold place, and Northern Zhou is a vassal country of our Da'an, and it gets a lot of relief materials from Da'an every year, and it ...... After the death of General Shu, the Northern Zhou Dynasty with the ambition of the wolf is getting closer and closer, and in recent years, there is a statue of overthrowing Da'an! These two countries live by grazing in the summer and hunting in the winter, and the living conditions are very difficult......"
When Mo Shouchen talked about General Shu, he paused slightly, his eyes swept over Xue Ye, and he spoke again, "Every winter, there are always people from the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi who sneak into the pass, grab food and prey, and there are constant disputes, although no big war broke out, but the situation is so tight that it is imminent. β
Eleven Niang's heart tightened, knowing that this was Mo Shouchen mentioning Xue Ye about the current situation, her lips moved, and when she saw Xue Ye's calm and calm expression and a little light in her eyes, she paused, and did not stop it, Ren Mo Shouchen followed the topic to analyze the strength of the six countries, the lack of materials, etc., until Mo Shouchen closed his mouth and pulled the topic back to the cold melon, "If we can grow cold melon, the economic pillar of Dachu will inevitably be eaten by us, and we will ...... when the time comes."
Princess Showa of Great Chu is the queen of Western Xia, and the queen of Northern Qi is the daughter of Queen Xixia, and also the granddaughter of Great Chu......
Now this delicate peaceful situation, like the moment before the water boiled, the surface was so quiet that if you add another fire, it will explode immediately!
Of course, if they have this ability and cut off the economic industries of Great Chu and Western Xia, the various problems caused by economic contraction will inevitably make the Great Chu royal family chaotic, and the conspiracy of the Northern Zhou to use the hand of Northern Qi to unite Great Chu and Western Xia will be unsustainable.
Eleven Niang coughed lightly, feeling that she was thinking too much.
If a country can be choked by the throat so simply, then won't she be able to run rampant with her brain?
Xue Ye listened very seriously, his expression was solemn that Eleven Niang had never seen before, and at the end, he asked Mo Shouchen a question, "Hasn't Emperor Da'an decided to fight the main battle yet?" β
Mo Shouchen paused slightly, shook his head with a smile, "The emperor's thoughts...... Hehe. β
Xue Ye nodded and didn't say anything more.
The two sat in the study for a while, and Eleven Niang and Mo Shouzhen said that as soon as the carriage back from the capital arrived, they would send someone to inform him. On his side, he first looked for suitable sandy land for planting cold melons in Jianghuai and other places according to what Shi Niang said.
The two got up to say goodbye, and before they left the study, a maid hurriedly ran over, her face was pale, and she forgot to do it before she arrived at the study, and said incoherently, "Grandma...... Can't breathe...... Little Master...... Tie Qing ......"
Mo Shouchen grabbed the maid with an ugly face, "What's the matter?" What happened to Grandma? What's wrong with the little master? Make it clear! β
The maid's tears flowed, and she couldn't spit out a word with her mouth open, Mo Shouzhen still had to ask, Eleven Niang's voice was cold, "Where is your grandmother?" β
"Library, warehouse......" The maid cried out three words
Call out three words.
Eleven Niang took the lead in running over, Mo Shouzhen let go of the maid and ran over, Xue Ye thought about it and followed him to the warehouse together.
In the warehouse, Aunt Luo shook Brother Yun in horror, pacing back and forth, muttering in her mouth, "Brother Yun, Brother Yun......"
The nurse's eyes widened in fear, "No, I don't care about my business, what do I ...... Didn't do ......."
"Third aunt!"
Eleven Niang ran over and saw that Brother Yun in Aunt Luo's arms was already pale, obviously breathless, Aunt Luo's expression had been in a state of panic, Eleven Niang ran to her side, she didn't notice it for a minute, and her raised eyes were not focused.
Eleven Niang was shocked, she was fine just now, how could this kind of thing happen suddenly?!
Shi Niang opened her mouth to say something, she might as well run into the fine hair on the fur between her nose, sneeze twice, and her breathing was a little uncomfortable. Go out with Brother Yun, children can't breathe the fine hairs on the fur! β
Aunt Luo was unconscious, Eleven Niang raised her hand to grab it, and Aunt Luo hugged Brother Yun tightly in horror.
Mo Shouzhen appeared behind Eleven Niang, and without hesitation, he clicked on Luo Sanjiao's acupoint, Luo Sanjiao's body fell backwards as soon as she was weak, Mo Shouzhen took his wife with one hand, and sent his son to Eleven Niang with the other, "Take Brother Yun out." Jiang Yi, go find a doctor! β
Someone outside the door answered.
Eleven Niang didn't hesitate to take Brother Yun out of the small courtyard of the warehouse, and didn't stop until the courtyard of the third aunt, put Brother Yun on the bed, and gently patted his back, "Brother Yun'er is good, open your eyes and look at Cousin Jin'......"
Jixiang stumbled in, "Quick, doctor!" Doctor......"
The old doctor belched, almost pulled into the house by Jixiang, and saw Brother Yun, whose face was blue and breathing weakly on the bed, his face changed, and he was busy touching the child's pulse, and opened the medicine box to get the silver needle.
The brazier was withdrawn and he was undressed.
"Doctor, the child seems to have sucked in the small fine hairs on the fur......" Eleven Niang reminded beside her.
The old doctor nodded, his face stern, "Lift the child up, head down." β
Eleven Niang hurriedly took off Brother Yun'er's clothes and lifted it upside down, and the old doctor lit a candle auspiciously, heated the silver needle, touched the child's back, and gave a needle.
After a few stitches, after a while, the old doctor took the needle and asked Eleven Niang to shake Brother Yun and rub his back at the same time, Eleven Niang did not dare to hesitate, Yun Neili warmed her palm and carefully stroked it from her butt to her shoulder.
"Push hard!" The doctor frowned, snatched Brother Yun from the hands of Eleven Niang, and scraped the child's back with his big palm like a scrape, and a long red mark on the child's back after only a few clicks.
After more than a dozen consecutive strokes, the old doctor's big palm suddenly rose and hit the child with a snap, "cough cough ......"
Two coughs came out of the child's mouth, and a puddle of filth was spit out, the old doctor looked down, put the child back on the bed, gently followed the child's back, and let out a long breath, "It's okay...... It's all right......"
Brother Yun opened his mouth and cried, looking at Eleven Niang pitifully with a pair of misty eyes, crying very aggrieved.
Jixiang cried with joy, and ran outside with his skirt, "Master, grandma, the young master is fine, the young master is fine......"
The door next door was wide open, Mo Shouchen helped the pale Third Aunt Luo out, Jixiang hurriedly went up to help, laughing and wiping tears, "Grandma, the young master is fine!" β
Aunt Luo hurriedly went to the house, and saw that the bed was wrapped in a small quilt by Eleven Niang and was kicking Brother Yun, who was making a fuss, and her spirit came back at once, and she rushed over and hugged Brother Yun and cried, and the cries of the two of them resounded through the roof in the house.
Mo Shouzhen's eyes flashed and he smiled.
Mrs. Mo's frightened legs were weak, and she scolded her daughter-in-law for the first time, and Aunt Luo was crying and laughing, and she didn't even dare to say it anymore.
The nurse who instigated Aunt Luo to take Brother Yun to the treasury was resigned by Mrs. Mo without hesitation, and asked her son to write a letter to find a good one from Jianghuai!
β¦β¦
When he returned to the town from Lu'an Village, it was already dark, Xue Ye had a meal in Xia's shop, and Eleven Niang sent him back to his residence and returned.
Yan Xia said to her, "In the afternoon, Xia Fangfei from the old mansion came, but the lord and wife didn't let her in, and let her go after saying a few words through the door." β
Eleven Niang nodded.
On the second day, Ling'er woke up and saw that everyone was crying, waking up Aunt Zhou, and was gently patted by Aunt Zhou to stop crying.
Luo Zhi felt uncomfortable when he saw it, and when he returned to the hall and slapped himself, Xia Chenghe went to stop him, but Luo Shi glared at him. Xia Chenghe didn't dare to act for an instant.
Yuan Niang looked at the appearance of her parents, wanted to say something, thought about it, and paused again.
Erniang and Sanniang cried, "It's all our fault, we hurt Aunt Zhou, hurt Ling'er......"
"Why didn't my aunt sell herself into that kind of place!" Eight mothers screamed, turning back and forth at the door of the hall.
Xiao Twelve pouted, seeing the two sisters crying, and also cried with Wow Wow, Eleven Niang hugged Xiao Twelve and sat on the chair by the door to bask in the sun, Yan Xia brought tea over, "Girl, drink a cup of hot tea." β
Eleven Niang shook her head, Yan Xia entered the house, put the tea, and quietly retreated.
A moment after noon, Xia Fangfei and Xia Chengxiang came together.
Yan Xia asked Shi Niang, led the two into the hall, and retreated to the door with tea.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law." Xia Fangfei smiled and called Xia Chenghe and Luo, Xia Chenghe belched, lowered his head to drink tea, Luo Shi hummed, don't look outside.
Xia Fangfei sat awkwardly and glanced at Xia Chengxiang.
Xia Chengxiang's face was ugly, he opened his mouth a few times but didn't say anything, and sighed dejectedly.
Xia Fangfei frowned slightly, got up, and said, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, the eldest sister came back yesterday."
My eldest sister has come home......"
Xia Chenghe's body stiffened, he hung his head and didn't say anything, Luo glanced back at Xia Fangfei, his expression was faint, and the corners of his mouth sneered, "What does my sister-in-law want to say?" β
Xia Fangfei has always been good friends with Sanfang, Xia Chenghe has always been close to Luo's treatment of her, when has she ever seen such a third brother and three sisters-in-law, standing in place, her face was flushed, her expression was complicated for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Daddy means to let the eldest sister come back to live here with the third brother and third sister-in-law, and the shop is still the third brother and the third sister-in-law." β
Eleven Niang sneered.
The shop was originally theirs, and it seemed to be a gift from the old house when it came out of her mouth!
Roche refused directly, "We don't have a vacant room here." β
"What about the one where the eldest sister used to live?" Xia Fangfei looked at the house where the Zhou family lived in the courtyard, and was a little stunned, "You really live for outsiders?" What should they do, big sister? β
The eldest sister and they don't do things right, they are always a family of blood relatives, the third brother and the third sister-in-law drove the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law to let a few outsiders live here, what's going on?
Xia Cheng and Huo Ran got up and said to Xia Fangfei, "It's that I don't agree with the eldest sister to continue to live here, the eldest brother-in-law has a father and a mother, since he lives with his father and mother, what's the matter with living with us?" β
"But his father and mother are also too busy to take care of themselves, does the third brother want to watch the eldest sister and her two children suffer and suffer?" Xia Fangfei was a little angry.
Xia Chenghe looked at his sister's frowning brows and smiled bitterly, "Do you think the third brother should support their family?" β
Xia Fangfei was stunned, "I didn't mean that." Didn't my father and mother say that the shop was given to you? It's not a problem for you to reopen the shop and give the eldest sister and two nephews a full meal......"
"Sister-in-law!" Eleven Niang couldn't bear to be embarrassed by her father, so she stood up and interrupted Xia Fangfei's words, "Master Fan and Aunt Zhou, one is the chef of our small shop, and the other is the account office of our small shop, did you ask your eldest sister what she did?" β
Xia Fangfei choked, "I have persuaded them to ......"
Xia Hongxia was still a little panicked before she sold someone, and she was crazy when she got a few hundred taels of silver, so she went back to her parents' house and told Xia Fangfei and the old lady like a joke, the old lady said that it was okay, Xia Fangfei felt bad, and persuaded Xia Hongxia to tell Xia Chenghe and Luo, Xia Hongxia didn't answer her, but the old lady counted her well.
"Did my sister-in-law persuade you?" Eleven Niang sneered.
Xia Fangfei froze.
"We all know the intention of my sister-in-law, but our family can't accept living in the same yard with a group of jackals, just as we don't want to live with the dirty thoughts of the old house!" Eleven Niang looked at Xia Fangfei, and suddenly grinned innocently, "Sister-in-law can go back and tell Grandma SΓΉ, you persuaded us, but we are the same as you advised them at that time...... Didn't persuade him. β
Xia Fangfei was dumbfounded.
Eleven Niang turned her head to look at Xia Chengxiang, "Does Fifth Uncle have anything to say?" β
Xia Chengxiang shook his head, "Daddy has to ask me to come on this trip." Third brother and third sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the old house, live your life well, people like the eldest brother-in-law should suffer some hardships! Why should their daughter-in-law and children of the Yang family let our Xia family help raise them?! I'll go back and let the eldest sister go back to Yang's house! β
"Fifth brother! That's not what Daddy said when she came. Xia Fangfei was stunned.
Xia Chengxiang glanced at Xia Fangfei, "What does my father and mother say is their business, what I do is my business, if my little sister can't see it, you can go back and sue me!" Third brother, third sister-in-law, I'm leaving. β
After saying that, he strode out of the hall and left.
Liuxia Fangfei stood in place, her face was red and white for a long time, and suddenly whimpered, "You all blame me, but do you blame me for this?" Don't you know what kind of character your father and mother have? Did I do it to the Lord? It's all on me......"
Xiao Twelve blinked his eyes and wanted to step forward, but was grabbed by Banniang, hugged him tightly in his arms, and lowered his voice to educate Xiao Twelve, "The people who help others bully our family are not good people, Little Twelve, you can't be blinded by a momentary goodness!" β
Xia Fangfei cried, covered her face and ran away.
Xia Chenghe sat down on the chair tiredly, Luo Che let out a long sigh, looked at the direction of the courtyard gate, and muttered, "Sister-in-law has changed!" β
