Chapter 63
Shopkeeper Hu has a shrewdness on his face, he looks like there are few taels of meat up and down, very thin, he looks about the same age as Jin Rui, not too tall, in the face of Mo's question, Shopkeeper Hu nodded and smiled: "There is still a private room now, eldest lady, please go upstairs." After speaking, he lowered his head slightly and led the way in front.
After entering the Mo family and Min Wei into the private room and sitting down, the shopkeeper Hu continued: "Miss, see what you want to order." Mo thought for a while and said, "Look at it." "I don't know what the eldest lady doesn't like to eat?" Although Shopkeeper Hu said this, his eyes were looking at Min Wei, although he vaguely knew in his heart that this was probably the fourth lady of the Jiang family, but he was not very sure.
"There's nothing Wei'er doesn't like to eat." As soon as Mo's words were finished, Shopkeeper Hu bowed to Min Wei and said, "I've seen the little miss, I'm going to prepare food for the eldest lady and the little lady." The shopkeeper Hu moved very quickly, and by the time Min Wei reacted, he had already left the private room, but he felt a little resolute.
The dishes are served very quickly, but the number is not too much, but there are only two people, Mo and Min Wei, naturally they don't need too much, Min Wei likes the taste of the dish very much, so she ate half a bowl of rice more than when she was in Jiang's house, Mo only ate a few bites and stopped, quietly watched Min Wei eat, and occasionally said a few words to the shopkeeper Hu, and waited until Min Wei finished eating, Mo took Min Wei and left the restaurant.
"Is Wei'er tired?" When he got into the carriage, Mo Shi asked with a hint of worry, Min Wei looked up and saw the undisguised concern in Mo Shi's eyes, shook his head and said, "Not tired." ”
Maybe it's because the people in the car have just finished eating, so the groom didn't drive the car fast, but slowly all the way, Min Wei felt that it took about half an hour or so, the carriage slowly stopped, Min Wei didn't get out of the carriage, there was a sound of footsteps outside the car, and then the curtain was lifted, a woman, who looked about the same age as Moh, pulled the curtain with one hand, covered her mouth with the other, and looked at Mohs tightly with both eyes.
"Hongxuan, don't be in such a hurry, I won't run away." Mo's tone at the moment is very different from usual, even with some smiles on his face that are usually invisible, with some girlish innocence and a coquettish meaning, Min Wei looked at such Mo's, and suddenly felt that she was the real her at this time.
Min Wei out of the time of the moment, Mo has been on the woman's support to get off the carriage, Min Wei also got off the carriage, appeared in front of Min Wei is a somewhat large attic, the plaque says Splendid Pavilion, and so on, Min Wei understands why it is called Splendid Pavilion, which is full of colorful fabrics, silk thread colors, and some ready-to-wear clothes, the embroidery on it is lifelike, the whole Splendid Pavilion has a strong feminine atmosphere, and there are mostly middle-aged women walking around.
Mo didn't walk around in the shop this time, but took Min Wei directly into the backyard, the style of the backyard is a bit like the small courtyard where Mo lived at the beginning, but it is smaller, and there is no main house, it is very simple, there is a large room on the left and right, the door of the room on the right is not closed, and there are several young women sitting inside, each holding a piece of cloth in their hands and constantly flying needles.
Mo Shi directly took Hong Silk's hand and entered the room on the left, and when he entered the room, Hong Silk was a little eager to say something, but Mo Shi pushed Min Wei in front of Hong Silk first, and said to Min Wei: "You haven't seen Wei'er yet." Obviously in order to block what Hong Xuan wanted to say, Hong Xuan was interrupted by Mo's family, and then carefully looked at Min Wei in front of her.
Min Wei was also looking at Hongxuan, she looked about the same age as Mo's, her body was slightly thin and her skin was slightly dark, her face looked good, she didn't look like a southerner, but a little like a northerner, with a plain face facing the sky, and there were only a few simple hairpins on her bun, if she was the shopkeeper of this Splendid Pavilion, it was really a little different.
"The slave and the maid Hongxuan have seen the little lady." Hong Xuan seemed to finish looking, but knelt down directly, and saluted Min Wei very solemnly, among the shopkeepers Min Wei saw with Mo's today, it seemed that Hong Xuan was the first one so solemn, but it scared Min Wei directly, she was never used to this kind of kneeling rule.
"Hongxuan, what are you doing, hurry up, I have already cancelled your slave status, and you are now also a dignified shopkeeper, why can't you change it?" Not to mention that Min Wei was frightened, even Mo Shi was taken aback, and when he came back to his senses, he helped Hongxuan up, and then said to Min Wei: "You take the maids to the shop first, and if you have a favorite material, wrap it up." ”
When Min Wei saw Mo say this, she also knew that she wanted to talk to Hong Silk, and listening to the meaning of Mo Silk's words, Hong Silk's identity should be almost wishy-washy, she has been following Mo since she was a child, and later she was wiped out as a slave and married, and now she is the shopkeeper in this shop, since Min Wei also understood, she didn't stay long, and retreated after saluting Mo and Hong Silk.
After Min Wei left, Hong Xuan cried and laughed and said to Mo Shi: "Miss, you are finally willing to come and see me." Mo took Hong Silk's hand and sat down, Hong Silk originally insisted on refusing to sit, but in the end he couldn't resist Mo Silk, so he sat down, even so, he still didn't dare to sit too hard, and only sat on a small half of the stool.
"I didn't want to fight, I didn't want to watch, my heart was dead, what else was there to fight for..." As soon as Mo's words came here, Hongxuan opened her mouth with a worried face and wanted to speak, but Mo's continued as if she didn't see Hongsui's movements: "I don't fight or watch, but I can't let my Wei'er be like me, Hongsui, you have inquired about all the things that happened in the Jiang family's house." ”
Mo's words paused here, looking at Hong Silk, Hong Silk grew up with herself since childhood, and later had mutual feelings with the son of the Xia shopkeeper of the Splendid Pavilion, and later she sold her slave status in order to live well in the future of the Red Silk, and she has been helping the Xia shopkeeper take care of the Splendid Pavilion since she got married, and when the Xia shopkeeper died, the Splendid Pavilion was handed over to their husband and wife, and the red silk had a good relationship with herself, and she must have inquired about her own affairs over the years.
Sure enough, Hongxuan nodded with red eyes, and said with a crying voice: "The slave is useless, except for helping the young lady take care of the dowry, nothing else can help." "Hongxuan has to cry every time she hears the news of Mo's, Mo's refuses to see people, refuses to care about his dowry, Hongxuan can't see Mo's at all, even if she does, Mo's refuses to say more, even if Hongxuan wants to persuade her, she can't do anything, she can only try her best to take care of Mo's dowry, thinking that Mo's has money in his hands, and his life will not be too sad.
"You have done well enough, if you want to complain, you will complain that I am not angry, last year the eldest sister came back to visit relatives and scolded me severely." Mo's voice was a little ethereal, it seemed to be back to the day of last year, and the words of the eldest sister Zhao Jiang were still echoing in his ears, "If you have to do this, then I will find someone to propose marriage after I return to Beijing, even if Minwei is not yet ten years old, I can also book it first, so as to save a weak mother like you, who was bullied to death in this house in vain." ”
Although Mo Shi has always known that Wei'er has a silent temperament, she has always been very well-behaved, she has never been willing to cause more trouble to others, and she has never violated her will, but she has always felt that Wei'er has a mother like herself, and it would be better to give in to everything, after all, her status is too low.
Mo Shi remembered that he said the same thing at the time, but what the eldest sister said was, "What is Min Wei's identity, she is the dignified daughter of my Jiang family, and the dignified eldest daughter of the fifth brother's house, in this house, there is no brother and sister with a higher status than her, if you are not strong, how can you let Min Wei survive in this house." ”
Mo didn't take the eldest sister's words to heart, only thought that she said this for her son, but that night she heard a dispute in the garden from Jiao's mother, Mo couldn't help but think of the slap that Wei'er was beaten earlier, since she entered the Jiang family, she felt that she was a merchant girl, her status was too low, and because Jiang Qinhan loved the Yao family with all her heart, so she would always retreat first in case of trouble.
However, no matter how much she retreated, she didn't protect her daughter, so she thought that even if she wanted to make Wei'er happy, she would be stronger, so after the eldest sister left, she didn't back down to Yao's for the first time, although she didn't fight her hard, at least she didn't take a step back, but after she did this, sometimes she could see some childishness on Wei'er.
Thinking of this, Mo Shi patted the hand of the red silk he was holding, and said with a light smile: "Hong Xuan, I figured it out, even if I want to keep fighting like this, I won't keep giving in, I always have to live my life well." Hongxuan, who had been looking at Mo's, saw Mo's eyes constantly changing, and finally spit out such a sentence, a little happy and a little worried for a while.
All of Hongxuan's thoughts finally turned into one sentence, "It's best if Miss can figure it out, and the slave will definitely take care of the Splendid Pavilion for Miss." The two talked for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Mo did not continue to go to the incense powder shop and jewelry shop, these two shops have always been taken care of by Hongxuan, and Mo only asked, then stood up and walked out.
When he arrived at the shop, Mo found that his daughter was standing in front of a plain light yarn in a daze, and he didn't even notice that he walked to her side, so Mo had no choice but to say, "What's wrong?" But if you like it, if you like it, let someone wrap it up and take it back to make a saree. Min Wei was obviously in a daze, and suddenly heard Mo Shi speak, and the whole person was startled, and then turned back to Mo Shi and said, "Mother." ”
