invited An Yuanxi to be the manager, and it is inevitable that he will face the opposition of Aunt An, but this is his problem, if he can't even handle this matter well, how can he deal with the disputes in the mall? These days, Aunt An still comes to cook every day, but she didn't mention a word to me, thinking that An Yuanxi has already put her in order, no matter what way he uses, it is best to reduce my trouble, I want it, but not an employee who always makes trouble for me.

This is early in the morning, get up leisurely, have breakfast, and make a pot of tea to enjoy. I handed over the shop to An Yuanxi to take care of, and I hid at home and was lazy. Xiaohong pushed the door in, glanced at me, and said softly, "Girl, there is a boy outside who wants to see you." ”

"Childe?" I lazily covered the stove and said with a smile, "I know an An Gongzi in Cangdu, don't tell me that he hasn't been to the shop today." ”

"No, girl." Xiaohong hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "It's the sick son of the Mo family in the inn, and you said that his scholar was born very much like your lost brother." ”

Mozambi's son? The smiling face of the Flame appeared in front of my eyes, and my heart ached. He glanced up at Xiaohong: "Why did he see me?" ”

"The boy recovered from his illness, and said that he wanted to thank the girl for her help." Little Red Road.

"Moissan......" I paused and said softly, "also here?" ”

"Hmm." Xiaohong looked at me apprehensively, "Here it is." ”

I nodded: "Got it, please go to the flower hall and sit down first." I'll go right over. ”

Stygian ....... I sighed, straightened my clothes, put on my coat, and walked towards the flower hall. When I entered the flower hall, I saw a plain-clothed scholar sitting in the guest seat, although his appearance was also red and white, and his eyebrows were clear, but his appearance was not as good as Mo Sang, who was his scholar. At this time, Mo Sang was standing behind the scholar and was stunned when he saw me come in. I smiled at him and walked straight over, the scholar in Tsing Yi stood up when he saw me entering the house, and Xiaohong saw me come in and said to the scholar in plain clothes: "Master Mo, this is my girl." ”

"Miss Ye." The plain-clothed scholar saluted me, "In Xia Mo Xiuqi, I have come to thank the girl for her help." ”

"Young Master Mo, please take a seat." I sat down on the throne and said with a smile: "Childe is polite, who doesn't have a problem when he goes out?" It's convenient for you to be with others, and it's convenient for yourself. ”

"That being said, there are a few more people who have actually done it." Mo Xiuqi had a hint of sneer on his face, "People in this world are easy to fall into the well, so it is particularly precious to send charcoal in the snow." ”

I smiled faintly, sending carbon in the snow? I wasn't such a kind person, and if it weren't for Mo Sang's face the same as that of the Stygian Flame, how would I have the leisure to care about your life or death. I looked up at Mo San, and saw that he had his eyelashes down, and there was no expression on his face, and I couldn't see his eyes.

Mo Xiuqi noticed my gaze at Mo Sang, and said with a slight smile: "I heard Mo Sang say that Miss Ye's lost brother looks very much like him. ”

I was stunned and smiled bitterly, "Yes." ”

Mo Xiuqi smiled: "I don't know when the girl's younger brother was separated?" Maybe it's really Moissan, maybe this child was sold into my house at the age of eight......"

"My brother was separated from me just a few months ago." I interrupted Mo Xiuqi's words, and said lightly, I am not interested in learning about your story, because he is not the Dark Flame, "I heard that Mo Gongzi fell ill when he came from Tieshan County to run errands, and now that he is sick, do you want to prepare to go back?" ”

Mo Xiuqi's face darkened: "In the middle of Xiajiadao, when I came to Cangdu, I had already sold my wealth, and I was not ready to go back." ”

"Mo Gongzi still wants to stay in Cangdu?" Wait for the repentant woman to change her mind? I'm afraid it's quite difficult.

"I'm going to stay here and prove to me that I'm not a useless person." When Mo Xiuqi mentioned the "want to look", his face twitched slightly, and then his face was firm and authentic.

Want to look? Does he repent of his fiancée? I smiled, what a lovely person, what can you prove, even if you make a fortune, it is not a matter of a moment, you have all reached the age of marriage, since the wife and family regret the marriage, they will definitely open up their daughter's marriage as soon as possible, maybe before you find a job, the woman has already married another woman. I picked up the tea, took a sip, and said lightly: "Then what are the plans of Master Mo in the future?" ”

"This ......" he had a blank look on his face, "I haven't thought about it yet......"

I sighed in my heart, idiot. Raising his eyes to look at Mo Sang, his face was also a little hasty and dazed, he must be very worried about his future life, right? My heart suddenly became sour and soft, even though I knew that he was not the Dark Flame, but that face, I still couldn't ignore it. If he found a job for his master and servant in the embroidery village, it would solve their difficulties temporarily, and after glancing at Mo Xiuqi, I said, "What line of work did Mo Gongzi's family engage in before?" ”

Mo Xiuqi smiled bitterly: "My father used to help Chu Yan, the rich man of Tiancao Kingdom, run the silk village in Tieshan County, and I also helped in the account office of the silk village, since Chu Yan was corrected by the imperial court, all the industries under his name were confiscated by the imperial court, and the family property accumulated by these fathers was also quite rich, but after the accident in the silk village, Erniang rolled up all the furniture and eloped with someone, and my father was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick, and he died not long after, and before he died, he asked me to go to Cangdu to find my fingertips for the marriage of the Yue family, but I didn't expect to be here but ......"

What Mo Xiuqi said later, I didn't hear a word, cold sweat broke out on my forehead, but I was cold, holding the tea cup on the table tightly, my hands couldn't stop shaking, and I felt a cramp in my heart. What did I do? What did I do? What did I do to get rid of Chu Yan and to be free of what I wanted? Why do I think that it is just to eradicate Chu Yan's forces, and only to destroy the Wuji Gate that he has painstakingly cultivated? Is it because I've never been afraid to think about it, or do I not want to think about it? Chu Yan Mingli has been running a business for many years, how many innocent people will be implicated because of his downfall? How many people have been ruined? What exactly did I do?

"Girl!" Seeing me in a cold sweat, Xiaohong was so frightened that she leaned into my forehead, "What's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? ”

Mo Xiuqi also stood up, looked at me in surprise, and said at a loss: "Miss Ye, did you say something wrong?" Why ......"

It was as if all the strength in my body had been drained away, and I smiled reluctantly at Xiaohong, "It's okay......"

Seeing my weak appearance, Mo Xiuqi said uneasily: "The girl is not feeling well, and it is inconvenient to disturb the girl's rest, so I will leave." ”

"Young Master Mo, please stay." I quickly called him, and he looked at me suspiciously, and sat back in his chair, "Is there anything else with the girl?" ”

"The little woman has recently opened an embroidery village, and she is sending people, I am just learning to do business, I don't know anything, I don't know if Mr. Mo is willing to do the little woman a favor and go to my embroidery village to take care of the accounts for me?" My tone is very sincere, I don't want to help Mo Xiuqi solve the current predicament, I just want to atone for myself, it was I who caused his family to be ruined and down, why should I put on the face of a benefactor?

Mo Xiuqi and Mo Sang's eyes lit up at the same time, Mo Xiuqi stood up and said excitedly: "What is this thing that the girl said, I thank the girl for her repeated help, and the girl's kindness to my master and servant is unforgettable......

"Young Master Mo!" I interrupted him and forced a smile, "Don't say that again, do you still live in the inn with your master and servant?" ”

"Yes!" Mo Xiuqi's face flushed slightly, I groaned for a while, and said softly, "It's not a way to stay in the inn all the time, you two go back and pack up your things and move to live with me, just treat it as the residence arranged by Xiuzhuang for you." "I'll discuss it with Lao Futou later, tidy up two wings for the two of them, and pay the rent for them, there shouldn't be any problem.

Mo Xiuqi looked grateful, and when he was about to say something, I waved my hand and said softly: "Master Mo, don't say anything more, I'm a little tired, if you don't have any opinions, go back and pack your things." ”

Mo Xiuqi stood up, bowed to me and said, "Don't thank you for your kindness, don't disturb the girl's rest, and say goodbye first." ”

Seeing them leave, I couldn't move for a long time, and after a while, I said softly: "Xiaohong, help me back to my room, I'm tired." ”

When I went back to the room, Xiaohong helped me to the bed and lay down, and I said weakly: "I want to lie down alone for a while, you go out first." ”

She let out an "um" and lightly closed the door and went out. I stared at the ceiling in a daze, for a long time, raised my hands in front of my eyes, and laughed stupidly. Chu Yan, now I am as unclean as you, my hands are full of blood, and I am as ruthless and femme fatale as you, are you satisfied? You must be hiding in the underworld and sneering, right? Do you want to drive me to death to count? Why don't you let me go even when you die?

I covered my face, tears sliding from my fingers, shivering.

I stayed in the room for a day, lunch and dinner were useless, Xiaohong came in worriedly several times, I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, ignoring her. The eldest brother of the Wei family came back from the shop, probably because he heard Xiaohong say that I hadn't eaten for a day, and called me by my bedside, wanting to pretend to sleep all the time, but he was afraid that he would worry about me again after a day of tiredness in Xiuzhuang, so he opened his eyes helplessly. When he saw that I was "awake", he sat on the edge of the bed and smiled gently: "I heard Xiaohong say that you haven't eaten for a day, so let her cook some porridge for you, eat and then sleep, okay?" ”

"Hmm." I smiled, he helped me sit up, Xiaohong handed the porridge to me, my hand was weak, almost unsteady, the eldest brother of the Wei family quickly held my hand and took the bowl, "Look at you, I'm so hungry that I don't have any strength at all, I'll feed you." ”

Without saying a word, he scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew it twice on the side of his mouth, and handed it to my lips, and I took it in my mouth, swallowed it silently, and the second spoonful came again. My eyes were inexplicably a little sour, resisted the urge to cry, and quietly finished eating a bowl of porridge, he handed the empty bowl to Xiaohong, and wanted to help me lie down, I hugged him violently, and the tears finally couldn't help flowing, and choked up: "Big brother, why are you so good to me?" ”

I have done so many bad things, and everything is selfishly for my own sake, even if it seems to be helping others on the surface, in fact, the motivation for helping others is to do it because it is beneficial to me. Where is it that a selfish person like me deserves someone to be so good to me?

The eldest brother of the Wei family stiffened and patted me on the back, and said gently: "Because you are Ye'er, you are my sister." ”

I burst into tears, tears streaming down unscrupulously, wantonly venting the grievances in my heart. I just wanted to live well, never asked for more, never expected anyone to understand me, why did the things I always wanted to avoid haunt me like a nightmare? I just want to live well!
