Chapter Seventy-Three: A Great Fire Burns the Ground
Since these cotton silks are destined to be useless, then it is better to burn them, at least there is no need to waste the Fang family's silver from now on, in fact, Fang Zhong is right, the Fang family's silver is easy to come by, but it is not easy to keep. But who would have thought how difficult it would be for me to really make up my mind to order the burning of those painstakingly woven brocades. - Mo Xiangsi
***
Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually getting colder, Mo Xiangli twisted the handkerchief in his hand, and hesitantly tried to speak: "Senior sister, I do have an idea, but I don't know if the fifth senior brother is willing." â
Xu Yanbin and Mo Xiangsi both looked at Mo Xiangli and said, "What idea?" â
Mo Xiangli looked at Xu Yanbin with an embarrassed smile and said: "I think that now the fifth senior brother's body has not fully recovered, and there is no need to think about the delivery of darts, it is better to read more books at home, write or something, my child is afraid that it will be born after the New Year, and when the time comes, I think it is better to let the fifth senior brother be a master for the child?" â
Xu Yanbin looked at Mo Xiangli, he also knew that now that his legs and feet are inconvenient, he has always hated himself for becoming a waste person now, sending people under the fence every day, unable to run and jump, and the childishness of the past has passed in an instant since he beat Mo Xiangsi that day, as if he has grown several years old all of a sudden.
Mo Xiangli has been with Xu Yanbin for so many days, although most of the time the two don't talk, but Mo Xiangli is so careful, how can he not notice what Xu Yanbin is thinking, so he thinks that no matter what, find something for him to do.
Xu Yanbin also looked at Yin Mo and Yu Yan now going out to bet on the dart. Doing business for the Fang family, even Rong Yun is now in charge of the big and small affairs of the family, and he is so busy every day that he can't see anyone. And he is the only one who stays with a pregnant woman like Mo Xiangli every day, always reminding himself that he is a waste person, and he will be just a waste person in the future!
Mo Xiangsi twisted her eyebrows and thought, she only knew that Xu Yanbin was like a leather monkey at the beginning, he was extremely fond of lively temperament, and he only loved martial arts. Like himself, he is a person who doesn't like poetry and songs, and now he doesn't say so. She was afraid that Xu Yanbin would not like it, so Mo Xiangsi didn't say anything, just looked at Xu Yanbin.
Xu Yanbin naturally knew that it was Mo Xiangli who found him an errand to relieve his boredom, after all, Mo Xiangli's child is not yet there. Now, he can also have a bright reason to read books.
Since he knew that it was Mo Xiangli's good intentions, Xu Yanbin naturally did not shirk, just looked at Mo Xiangsi and said with a smile: "Of course it's good, but since that's the case, then I, who don't learn and don't know how to do it, should study poetry and literature well, otherwise I'm really afraid of teaching the little junior sister's child badly." â
Mo Xiangli said with a smile: "Preaching and teaching is naturally a heavy responsibility, but I can trust the fifth senior brother." â
Mo Xiangsi saw that they all said so. She naturally had no opinion: "That's fine, it's decided, what books do you want to read, I ordered Jin'er to buy it tomorrow." The money is counted in my account. â
Seeing that they all sat down and talked there one by one, he even sat down obediently and listened, although he couldn't understand it, but seeing Mo Xiangsi smile at the end, he also clapped his hands and learned Mo Xiangsi's last words with a smile: "I...... Remember me...... on the books. ...... on the account"
Fang Jin shouted like this, which made everyone laugh. Mo Xiangsi also quipped: "Hey, our Fang family's young master has spoken, this silver has to be recorded in his account, Jin'er Xiu'er has remembered it, and he will go to Steward Fang tomorrow to ask for money." â
Jin'er Xiu'er also laughed: "Young master, you can't be so cheap, madam, you have to ask Mrs. to sell you roast chicken to eat." â
As soon as he heard the roast chicken, Fang Jin's eyes lit up again, clapped his hands and jumped up with a smile: "Roast chicken!" Chicken! â
Mo Xiangsi said very gentlemanly: "Okay! Let's eat roast chicken tonight! â
Everyone was talking and laughing, and suddenly saw Rong Yun rushing in with a happy face, shouting all over the sky: "Senior sister, senior sister!" You're here! Finally found you! â
Mo Xiangsi looked at his elated appearance and sneered: "Did you pick up the gold ingots, Le Cheng is like this?" â
Rong Yun smiled and said, "What gold ingots, senior sister, third senior brother, they are back!" â
As soon as Rong Yun's words fell, he saw that Yu Yan and Yin Mo were already coming towards this side with a spring breeze on their faces, and the two of them also smiled and Rong Yun said to Mo Xiangsi: "Is Xiao Jiu crazy at home these days?" Seeing us come back, it's like seeing gold ingots, happy like this! â
Everyone greeted them with a smile, they hadn't seen each other for two months, Yin Mo and Yu Yan had lost a little weight, but their eyes were shining, and their spirits were very good.
Mo Xiangsi said: "Shun lĂŹ? What do you think? â
Before Yu Yan could speak, Yin Mo had already smiled and said, "This way I have really seen the strength of the Fang family's shopkeeper, it is really an eye-opener!" It's admirable, senior sister, we brought back seven orders! â
Looking at Yin Mo's burning eyes, Yu Yan also smiled and said: "Ah Mo went out this way, but he was diligent and studious, and even the Qin shopkeeper who followed him was also praised, Ah Mo is very talented in this area, and the Qin shopkeeper finally let Ah Mo give it a try, and the last order was negotiated by him personally." â
Yin Mo also smiled, but didn't say much.
Mo Xiangsi looked at Yin Mo's appearance and also liked to do business very much, the Acacia Gate was destroyed, the former brothers withered one by one, Yin Mo had always been sad and sad for the sealing of his wings, and now he can have something to do that he likes, and he can somewhat suspend the knot.
Mo Xiangsi smiled and said, "Yo, the eighth junior brother is good!" Since it's the list you discussed, then you will be responsible for it inside and out. â
Yin Mo just smiled and said: "The way of doing business is also broad and profound, I have just learned to start, I just want to follow the Fang family's shopkeeper to watch and learn more." â
Mo Xiangsi smiled and said: "Okay, then this batch of goods will be escorted from the time it is made to the future, and you will follow the shopkeeper Qin in the future." â
Yin Mo smiled and nodded: "Hey." â
Mo Xiangsi also smiled, this is really the only thing that makes Mo Xiangsi feel satisfied for such a long time, but now it seems that the shopkeeper Qin has already gone directly to explain the things on the road to Steward Fang, and he ...... Mo Xiangsi suddenly remembered Yin Mo's words, yes, the way of doing business is broad and profound, he is just a small shrimp in the rivers and lakes, how can he be complacent after making a little achievement, should he be like Yin Mo, and learn more from Fang Zhong.
The Fang family has a new list, and the embroidery girls of the Fang family silk village are also energetic one by one, and continue to work day and night.
Mo Xiangsi looked at the mountains of cotton silk, and now in order to preserve this batch of silk, he has to spend a lot of silver every day.
But until now, Fang Zhong has not come up with a way to deal with this batch of silk.
Mo Xiangsi quietly looked at the mountains of cotton silk in front of him, the result of fighting with the embroidery girl here day and night at the beginning, inheriting their dream of making a lot of money, but now it has become a burden to them.
Fang Zhong looked at Mo Xiangsi, who had been quietly looking at the mountains of silk in front of him in a daze all morning, and finally couldn't help but say softly: "Madam......"
"Burn it." Mo Xiangsi said.
Fang Zhong was taken aback, as if he didn't hear what Mo Xiangsi said clearly, or perhaps, he couldn't believe his ears at all: "Madam, what did you say?" â
Mo Xiangsi looked at Fang Zhong with a firm look in his eyes: "Burn it, since these cotton silks are useless, they can only waste our silver, so let's burn them!" â
Fang Zhong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute something, but he was powerless to refute.
Burn it!
So many days and nights of hard work, so many people's efforts, is it burned?
What a woman!
She said so firmly, burn it! Lose money, and burn!
So firm, so resolute, there is no room for turnaround.
On that day, the sky was still overcast, but the open space of the Fang family's silk village was full of layers of cloth, and the Fang family's little servants were sprinkling oil on those finely preserved cloths.
That day, the embroidery girls of the Fang family all came out to watch, looking at Mo Xiangsi with a torch in her hand, and watching her make her mistake with her own hands.
Xiuniang looked at Mo Xiangsi's cold face and firm eyes, and she approached step by step with a torch in her hand.
Some girls even couldn't help crying, this batch of silk lost money, but Mo Xiangsi strictly ordered Fang Zhong that it was her fault, and she couldn't deduct the embroidery girls' pennies, which was the result of them staying up late to catch up with work.
Mo Xiangsi's torch was thrown on the mountain of cloth, and the fire suddenly broke out, and the raging fire went away one after another, and the billowing smoke filled the air, making people want to cry.
The fire was pervasive, and it also caused many onlookers, all looking at the direction of Fangjia Silk Village, thinking that it was on fire. It actually alarmed the Hangzhou Terracotta Division, and the chief soldier Zhu Yang personally took people to check it, and found that it was just burning cloth, which was just that.
Long Yuan slowly put down the secret letter from the southwest border in his hand, and looked up at the pillar of smoke outside the windless window. I suddenly seemed to be able to imagine the figure of the woman standing behind the smoke at this time.
It is really difficult for a person to admit his mistakes openly, so how many people have chosen to use strong words to make trouble unreasonably, and finally do not hit the south wall and do not give up. It's better, even if you understand it in your heart, you won't say it, and you still look like you're dead and unrepentant, that is, you can't let go of the so-called face, so you are willing to change, after all, you are also timid, not thorough, and finally, one day, you won't be too bloody.
This is human nature, and I don't know when it has become an extremely shameful thing to "know that mistakes can be changed".
And that woman, at this moment, was in a fire, admitting her mistake to the Fang family, and showing the entire Jiangnan her determination to destroy this mistake.
Looking at it this way, in fact, that woman is not only as unbearable as he imagined, in fact, she also has merits.
Long Yuanfu lowered her head again and picked up her secret letter, one day, she would be rewarded by fate for today's wise move. (To be continued)
