051 The Queen's Merchant (3)
Before she finished speaking, Mo Mu quickly took over the words and said to Mo Yuanxin: "Xin'er, you go and prepare dinner first, I have something to say to this person." ”
"Mother......
"Go." Mo Mu glared at her daughter with some dissatisfaction.
"Mother, then I'll go get busy first." Mo Tingxin walked out a little reluctantly, and looked back into the room from time to time.
Seeing that things had developed like this, Shen Mengdie hurriedly kept up with Mo Qianxin's pace, smiled and pulled the other party's arm and said, "I'll help you." ”
"Thank you, but it's good if I'm alone."
"It's nothing, it just so happens that I don't have anything to do." Shen Mengdie stroked her hair with one hand and said with the other hand.
At this time, Mo Qianxin suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have helped the other party prepare the room, and said apologetically: "You see that I am busy and dizzy when I come back, I will take you to the room first to put down the baggage." ”
"Okay." For the things in the baggage, Shen Mengdie is not worried about being stolen at all, in this place with simple folk customs, stealing is a big crime.
"Alright, you'll rest here tonight." After Mo took out the futon from the wardrobe and made the bed, he looked at Shen Mengdie beside him.
"Yes."
"Then I'll get busy first, and you clean up after yourself." After Mo Tianxin said this, he turned around and walked out.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Shen Mengdie reached out and straightened the quilt, casually put the burden on her back into the corner of the bed, covered it with the quilt, and then turned around and took the door and left.
Standing outside the kitchen door and listening to the sound of pots and pans inside, she straightened her sleeves and walked in slowly. It was a farmer's two-eyed stove, which she had only seen on TV, and had never really touched it. The kitchen had a repaired cupboard and a stone table for chopping vegetables and washing things, and after a brief glance, she came to Mo Qianxin's side and said, "Is there anything I can do to help?" ”
"Just help me wash these dishes."
"Okay." After responding to the other party, Shen Mengdie began to help on the side. When she was done with the task at hand, she continued to ask the other party. "Is there anything else I can help with?"
"You can help me light the fire."
"Okay." Shen Mengdie came to the earthen stove and began to prepare to light the fire, she had also seen how others used it on TV, so after taking out a match, she began to look for tools to light the fire. Finally, she found two strangely shaped stones above the stove, and she looked at them suspiciously. "How does this work?"
When Mo poured out the rice and washed it, he saw that Shen Mengdie was still holding the flint in a daze, so he put the rice in the pot and slowly stepped forward to ask, "I'll come." ”
Shen Mengdie really didn't know how to use this, so he handed the flint in his hand to the other party. When Mo quickly touched the two stones together, sparks flew out and ignited the firewood, and the other party gave it to her after adding some firewood to the earthen stove.
Shen Mengdie looked at the crackling flames inside, and felt a little distracted. Sitting on a small stool for the fire, adding a piece of wood to it from time to time, watching the person busy, she had a feeling of seeing through the lives of others. It's like a movie, you already know the ending, but you can't spoil it.
Just when the two were busy, Mo Mu also had a simple exchange with Xuanyuan Lin, although she didn't know what the two of them said. But when Shen Mengdie helped serve the food to the table, what she saw was Xuanyuan Lin sitting at the dining table in the hall with Mo Mu.
After several people were seated, Mo Mu opened her mouth and said to Mo Qianxin: "Xuanlin is going to stay with us for a while, and now let him live in that room first." ”
"Yes." Mo Qianxin nodded, and while secretly looking at the person with his spare eyes, he sighed silently in his heart: "His original name was Xuanlin." ”
At the same time, Shen Mengdie also quietly looked at Xuanyuan Lin with scrutinizing eyes in places that several people hadn't noticed, and secretly thought in her heart: "It's a good Xuanlin, and I don't know what method I used to get Mo Mu to agree to keep him." ”
When Xuanyuan Lin was looking at the woman who peeked at him with his eyes, he suddenly sensed that someone was examining him, and immediately turned his gaze away, and what he saw was a woman with a good appearance, judging from the other party's dress, it didn't look like an ordinary farmer here, the important thing was that the person looked at him as if he already knew him. "Could it be a lady from Kyoto?" Xuanyuan Lin silently guessed in his heart, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
As soon as she saw Xuanyuan Lin's turned gaze, Shen Mengdie knew that it was not good, but she didn't have time to withdraw her gaze, and ran straight into the other party's eyes full of doubts. Without knowing how to end, she had to nod her head to the other party, and then naturally withdrew her gaze.
Seeing that the scene was a little silent for a while, Mo Mu spoke again and said to Xuanyuan Lin: "This is my daughter Mo Qianxin, and this is Shen Mengdie who came to stay overnight. ”
"Hello two girls, under Xuanlin." Xuanyuan Lin stood up and saluted the two of them with fists clenched.
"Hello." Shen Mengdie nodded calmly to the other party, and then said nothing.
Mo Tingxin glanced at the other party a little shyly, nodded and agreed.
In the following time, several people took advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, after eating, they did a simple freshening up and returned to the house to prepare for rest.
Shen Mengdie looked at the kerosene lamp on the table, the flickering light looked very faint under the rendering of the night, and after walking for a while, she sat on the edge of the bed and opened the task panel.

The personal information I asked for today has already been transmitted, but I haven't had time to check it since I got back here.
After seeing it roughly, she was greatly relieved, if she still used someone else's identity like in the previous world, there would be many restrictions on her actions. This time, her identity is the concubine of the imperial merchant Shen family, as for whether it is really or not, it is arranged by the system.
The Shen family was originally just an ordinary merchant family, but in the generation of Shen Mengdie's grandfather, they happened to encounter the so-called battle for the throne. But after several generations of business, it began to decline. This is the result of prosperity and decline, and nothing will always be at its peak.
And the family of this generation encountered bandits when they went out with their son to deal with official business, and all the people in the group were killed. At the same time, the other descendants of the Shen family began to disappear mysteriously, either no one could be found, and when they were found, they were usually seriously ill or had been killed. Faced with the increasingly bizarre situation, the Shen family was panicked for a while.
As for what happened, people outside were speculating whether the Shen family had provoked someone, so that the other party was going to kill them all.
