Chapter 104: Inside Story
Coming out of the Hou Mansion Courtyard, I breathed a sigh of relief, this matter was finally done for Fu Dakang, if nothing else, Fu Dakang should have no problem winning the championship, but even if there is an accident, the responsibility is not on me, Fu Dakang will not find me trouble. With a silver ticket of five hundred taels of silver in my arms, I wanted to take the opportunity to go out alone to talk to Boss Lin about redeeming the hot pot restaurant first, but when I arrived at the inn, Boss Lin was not there, I thought about it for a while, anyway, there are still 1,500 taels left to redeem all the shops, so don't bother so much, just find the money and talk about it.
Nothing to do, I rarely have leisure to go shopping in the market, passing by a stall selling kites, I saw that the butterfly kites on the stall were beautifully pierced, bought one on a whim, took it while strolling around, and inadvertently saw a familiar figure turn the corner, An Yuanxi? I hurried to speed up, how did he get into the city?
"An ......" I opened my mouth to call him, he had turned into the alley of the left street, I had to catch up, but there was no one in the alley, did I see it wrong? I obviously saw the nerd turn into this alley, walked into the depths of the alley, and found that there was a branch alley on the right, I glanced in casually, and saw An Yuanxi standing at the door of a family, I was happy in my heart, and was about to call him, but suddenly heard someone in the door scolding: "How is fifty taels enough?" I said that the solitary book is worth five hundred taels, even if you take five hundred taels, my solitary book can be exchanged for it? ”
I hurriedly hid in the corner of the alley, quietly poked my head out, and saw An Yuanxi smiled apologetically: "Mr. Shu, I know that fifty taels is not enough to pay for that lonely book, but now I can only raise fifty taels of silver, you take it first, and I will definitely find a way to do the rest, I just hope you don't tell my family about it......"
"I don't care so much, in short, if you don't pay within three days, I'll go to the official mansion to sue you, you go quickly, I'll be bad luck when I see you!" The door closed with a "bang", An Yuanxi bit his lip, turned around and walked back, I panicked, looked left and right, and quickly hid behind some broken bamboo baskets in the corner of the alley and squatted, An Yuanxi walked in front of me with a heavy heart, and didn't see me.
When he was far away, I stood up, what is An Yuanxi doing here? What did the family say just now, what did they pay 500 taels, what happened? I thought about it, turned into the alley, stood at the door of the house just now, and knocked lightly.
"Why don't you leave when you are told to go?" An annoyed voice sounded in the door, the door "squeaked" and opened half of the door, an old man poked his head out and scolded, seeing that it was me, he was stunned: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Old man, I'm sorry to disturb you, you want to ask, what did An Yuanxi do here just now?" I laughed.
"Who are you?" When the old man heard An Yuanxi's name, his face sank.
"I'm his friend." I hurriedly said, "Did the old gentleman misunderstand him?" He's an honest man......"
"I didn't say he wasn't honest." The old man snorted, "Honest people don't do anything wrong?" ”
"Yes...... yes," I quickly followed his tone, "Old gentleman, it's better to tell me what is the matter, I just heard the old gentleman say that he was going to sue the government, I don't know how An Yuanxi offended Mr." ”
"He burned my book, my "Shenwu Annals" is a lone book that has been passed down for three hundred years, I saw him honest and diligent, and he was in urgent need of money, so he copied my lone book for him, so that he could make some money, but I didn't expect him to copy it until midnight, he actually fell asleep, and knocked over the candlestick, burned my lone book, and the old man was angry......" The old man chattered endlessly, with a sad face, I understood, it turned out that An Yuanxi came back early in the morning that day, not only his clothes were burned, his hands were burned, but also other people's things were burned.
This nerd, why don't you say it? He is very measured in his work, presumably because he is extremely tired during this time, so he will fall asleep while copying books, right? My heart is sour, I don't know what stupid things this nerd has been doing in the past two days in order to raise this reparation? I saw that the old man was very angry, and knew that he must love the book, so I hurriedly smiled and said: "Old man, An Yuanxi burned your book, it was his fault, I am willing to help him pay for the book to Mr., please Mr. forgive him." ”
"Losing money? If I lose money, will I be able to get my lone book back? Even if you have the money, you won't be able to buy my book again......" the old man snorted. I hurriedly followed his anger and said: "Yes, yes, sir's book is so precious, even if you lose money to sir, you can't compensate for sir's loss, but that book has burned out if it is not burned, I just want Mr.'s loss to be not so serious, Mr. is a person who knows books and etiquette, and he must be able to understand us." ”
The old man looked me up and down for a while before he said, "You kid can speak." ”
"It's just that we're wrong, Mr. is magnanimous and forgiving, and I must keep it in mind." I saw that the old man's tone was a little loose, and I hurried to say.
"Well, I'm not such a stingy person, I told him the same before, this book can't be returned if it is burned, and he asked him to pay five hundred taels as compensation for the book, but he can't take it, so I got angry. You just said you were going to help him pay off his debts, but seriously? The old man said.
"Seriously, seriously." I hurriedly took out five hundred taels of silver tickets from my bosom and handed them to the old man, who took the silver tickets suspiciously, counted them, confirmed that they were correct, put a little smile on his face, opened the door and said, "In this case, you can come in and get the debt." ”
I followed the old man into the house, he turned out a list for me, I took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the bill written by An Yuanxi, and quickly put it away. The old man laughed and said, "You're quite a friend." ”
I smiled slightly: "Yes, Mr. is magnanimous and forgiving." After thinking about it, he said, "I have a reluctant request below, and I also ask Mr. for help." ”
"What's the matter?" The old man was stunned.
"Please sir, don't tell An Yuanxi about helping him pay back the money." I thought about it for a while, An Yuanxi didn't want me to know about this, so I still didn't let him know, so as not to hurt his self-esteem.
"And what do I say?" The old man said.
I thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "Please ask Mr. for help, just say that the lone book is an imitation, and you just found out, and it is not worth so much money at all." There is also a request for the gentleman to send someone to inform him as soon as possible, so that he will not have to run around to raise money. ”
The old man looked at me in amazement and said, "That nerd made such a friend of yours, it was his luck." ”
I heard him say this, and knew that he had already accepted it, so I smiled, bowed and said, "Thank you, old gentleman, and take your leave." ”
I stepped into the courtyard and saw Mo Xiuqi's master and servant standing in the courtyard, with the luggage of the two on the ground. Xiaohong blushed, with an angry face, and pointed at Mo Xiuqi and said: "Dare to love my girl, I fed you white-eyed wolves, and now I see that my girl is down, so I pick up the high branches and ......fly one by one" Grandpa Fu and Fu Xiang looked at them helplessly, and when they saw me stepping into the door, their faces were happy.
"Little Red!" My face sank, "What are you yelling about?" What does it look like? ”
"Girl......" Xiaohong ran to me angrily, "Do you know, this Mo Gongzi is going to 'Yunshang Fang' to be the bookkeeper, and our Jinxiuzhuang has no loss to him, no ......"
"Shut up!" I snapped up on Red, "You go inside!" ”
Xiaohong's eyes were red, she bit her lip aggrievedly, and ran back to the room, I turned around and bowed to Mo Xiuqi and said, "I'm sorry, Master Mo, Xiaohong is too ignorant." ”
"No, no, I'm sorry for the girl, the girl is kind to the girl, and I shouldn't have left when I was in trouble in Jinxiuzhuang, and I was really ashamed to ...... girl" Mo Xiuqi said in fear, I waved my hand and said: "People go to high places, water flows to low places, now that we have paid off the debt, we can't help Gongzi anymore, if Mo Gongzi goes to 'Yunshang Fang' to do things can have a better future, the little woman will never stop Gongzi, but be happy for Gongzi." ”
"Miss Ye......" Mo Xiuqi's face turned red, I turned my head to look at Mo Sang, and saw that he was hanging his eyelashes, and his face was habitually expressionless. I smiled, turned to look at the packed luggage on the ground and said, "Is Mr. Mo moving away?" ”
"'Yunshang Fang' has arranged a place to live in Xia, since I am no longer working in Jinxiuzhuang, it is not good to bother the girl in Xia......" Mo Xiuqi said worriedly, not daring to look up at me. I smiled, no matter what, what should be left will be left in the end, and no one can force it.
"It's okay, but it's not so convenient to live on the outskirts of the city." I nodded and smiled faintly, "I'll send you out!" ”
"Don't dare to bother the girl......" Mo Xiuqi said restrainedly, I smiled, "What's the trouble, it's just a few steps, let's go." ”
Sending the Mo family's master and servant out of the door, Mo Sang never said a word from beginning to end. I leaned against the door, looked at their backs, and slowly touched my neck with my hand, pinching the piece of black jade. Stygian Flame, is it true that I have to finish this life before I can go to the underworld to see you? The master and servant of the Mo family walked a few meters away, Mo Sang suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at me, there was a complicated look in his eyes, I looked at him quietly, Dark Flame, he is not you, I have been obsessed with him for so long, forcing myself to treat him as you, but he is not, even though he looks so similar to you. "Moissan?" Mo Xiuqi turned his head and called him, he bit his lip, glanced at me, and turned his head to follow Mo Xiuqi.
I smiled faintly, turned and stepped into the yard, and locked the door. Grandpa Fu and Fu Xiang looked at me worriedly, and I smiled: "It's okay, I'll go see Xiaohong." ”
Pushing the door in, Xiaohong lay on the table, heard the door ringing, quickly sat up straight, wiped the sleeves on the face, I walked over with a smile, pulled out a handkerchief, wiped the tears on her face, and quipped: "Isn't it beautiful to cry on your face!" ”
"Who cried!" Xiaohong pursed her lips and snorted softly.
"Okay, okay, it's me who is bad, I shouldn't scold you." I coaxed her softly, she bit her lip and said aggrievedly, "I'm just not worth it for the girl, if the girl hadn't helped them, they would have died in the inn, and now the girl is in trouble, they will be far away immediately, it's really not a thing......"
"I know that Xiaohong is the most concerned about me, but since their hearts are not with me, it is not interesting for me to force others to stay, right?" I laughed.
"The girls are just too good at talking, that's why they are bullying you!" Xiaohong hated, "It's okay to scold them for being angry......"
"What's the use of that, I'll let them go, naturally I have my reasons." My gaze froze, "If you don't let them go, how can you catch the big fish behind you?" ”
"Girl?" Xiaohong didn't understand my words and looked at me stunned. I smiled and patted her face: "Go and help me ask Manager An to come over, I have something I want to discuss with him." ”
This time there was an accident in the embroidery village, although I knew that someone designed it and arranged an inner ghost in the embroidery village, but because I was in a hurry to find money to pay off the debt, I had no time to verify. I didn't suspect the master and servant of the Mo family yet, the person I suspected the most before was Sister Xiu, but Mo Xiuqi found something to do in the "Yunshang Fang" in such a short time, which made me have to be suspicious of him. I carefully recalled every detail of these two businesses with Boss Lin, especially the scene when he scolded the "Yunshang Fang" store for bullying customers, I was carried away by the business that this "Yunshang Fang" gave up, and I didn't think about it deeply, and now the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong. My eyes narrowed, good, follow this line and you'll know!
