Chapter 11: Winning People's Hearts
"This house is finally settled, and today is a complete thing." Mo Yanxi breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xiangxue asked puzzledly: "Since Miss knows that the feng shui of the house is not good, why do you insist on it?" ”
She really didn't understand why the young lady would buy a house that no one else wanted.
Mo Yanxi said with a smile: "This feng shui has been credible or unbelievable since ancient times, just say that during the adult period, in order to avoid the doormen, the house was built on the most murderous cemetery, how many people persuaded each other to no avail, the world is more taboo, and over time there are really fewer doormen, how many people say that he will not live long, who knows that people have directly passed a hundred years old, the children and grandchildren are full, and everything goes smoothly." There must be cause and effect, I think the theory of cause and effect is far more credible than feng shui, and this feng shui is not unchangeable, those who are in charge of it probably feel that the reputation of this house has been rotten, so they don't want to spend more money here, we just readjust when we repair, and we are new to the city, and we are all women, there is no man in charge of the family, it is very easy to be despised, and now we dare to live in this murderous house, but it is also an extra layer of barrier out of thin air, so that those small people do not dare to act rashly. ”
Xiangxue heard this, and hurriedly praised: "Miss Yingming, now that the house has been finalized, should we contact the repair workshop for repairs as soon as possible?" ”
Mo Yanxi shook his head: "Don't worry, Xiangxue, you take some silver tomorrow and go to the repair workshop to find a team of cheaper ordinary craftsmen to take care of the house as a whole, Sakura Niang, you will go to Nanshi tomorrow to see if there is a better land, the price is negotiable, this matter must be finalized as soon as possible, otherwise there are too many variables, it is easy to get out of control, I will not follow tomorrow, if there is anything, come to the inn where I live to find me, remember that it must be the same as when I first came, don't be recognized, and ask someone to catch the handle." ”
"Yes, miss."
When the two of them heard this, they wrote down what they were going to do, and Ying Niang was afraid that Mo Yanxi's silver would not be enough, so she took fifty taels of silver and one hundred taels of silver from her purse, and waited for Mo Yanxi to change into men's clothes and hair in the carriage, and clean her face, and the three of them parted ways in a hidden alley.
Mo Yanxi has rarely gone out since she returned to the inn that day, and has been busy writing and painting in the room, Ying Niang is still looking for land in the South City, and Xiangxue has taken someone to the house to take care of it.
Mo Yanxi was busy counting the hours this day, and he hadn't been to the Su Mansion for nearly five days, and after noon, Mo Yanxi slowly wandered to the Su Mansion in Beishi.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Liu greeted him.
"Hey, Bai Gongzi is here, please come in."
Mo Yanxi recognized the visitor, "You are... Little Six? ”
Xiao Liu nodded hurriedly: "Exactly, thanks to Bai Gongzi for remembering the little one." ”
Mo Yanxi asked, "How is your old lady doing?" ”
Xiaoliu grinned and smiled warmly: "Bai Gongzi's medical skills are excellent, the old lady is very good, her complexion has been much better recently, I heard the girl in Cuizhuyuan say that the old lady chats and laughs with them every day, her voice is loud, her words are clear, and her face is ruddy, I believe that she will be better in the near future." ”
Mo Yanxi was very satisfied, and asked, "Can I pay attention to the matters I explained?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Bai Gongzi, don't worry, after you finished talking that day, the eldest young master of my family ordered all the kitchen and housekeepers who went out to buy, and the ones you said have not appeared in the house for several days. ”
Mo Yanxi thought to herself, this Su Changqing is also a cautious master. I didn't want to meet Steward Yuan halfway through, but Su Changqing was entertaining guests in the front hall, and let him go to Cuizhuyuan by himself, and he would come later.
In this way, Mo Yanxi and Steward Yuan went to Cuizhu Garden, and the attendant maid was already waiting at the gate of Cuizhu Garden.
Chun Tao said: "Steward Yuan, Bai Gongzi, please." ”
Steward Yuan waved his hand: "Chun Tao, how is the old lady today?" ”
Chun Tao replied with a smile: "Back to Steward Yuan, the old lady has looked a lot better these days, and she also likes to laugh, so she must be able to get better in a few days." ”
Steward Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good!" Bai Gongzi, just go in, I still have some things to be busy over there, the eldest young master said that if you have any needs, just tell your subordinates to do it, don't be polite. ”
Mo Yanxi nodded: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, Steward Yuan, you can get busy." ”
The two said goodbye at the door, and Mo Yanxi followed Chun Tao into the old lady's room.
Old Madam Su was easy-going, and when she saw someone coming in, she immediately beckoned Chun Tao to bring someone over, and held Mo Yanxi's hand very kindly.
"Yo~ Look at the eyebrows, this style, no matter how big it is, I'm afraid it will take away the soul of my daughter's family."
These words caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding maids, and Mo Yanxi's face was also a little ashamed.
"The old lady said with a smile, I'm afraid that your two sons are the real dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are the good sons-in-law in the hearts of the daughters of the Wan family."
When Mrs. Su heard this, her face changed: "Those two stinky boys? Hum! If you don't get angry with me, I will already burn incense and worship the Buddha. I am old and have a son, and now I am also fifty or sixty years old, the eldest is already a weak crown year, and he is reluctant to marry, and the second child is not seen all day long, and he is not playing in the east or playing in the west, so he knows that he is not doing his job! I don't know how long I can live, and I have to look at the faces of my grandchildren who can't be hugged in my lifetime. Lu Yan, how good it would be if you were a daughter's family, with such a beautiful woman, and not let the two of them be fascinated, the horse's head is looking forward! ”
Mo Yanxi lowered her eyebrows: "The old lady laughed, presumably this eldest son is an assertive person, if he really meets what he likes, he will definitely not let it go, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you, don't worry about it, it's important to take care of your body." ”
When Mrs. Su heard this, she didn't say this, and asked, "Yes, yes, yes, I still like to hear Lu Yan." How old is Lu Yan this year? ”
Mo Yanxi replied obediently: "Back to the old lady, she is thirteen years old." ”
Mrs. Su was overjoyed: "Yo! Coincidentally, it's the same year as my parents! Anyway, he's coming back soon, and you'll be glad to see each other. ”
"Naturally, I have long heard of the second son's elegance, if you have a fate, you will naturally have a deep friendship, old lady, it's not too early, let me give you a pulse." Mo Yanxi has not forgotten the purpose of this trip. Hurry up and take this opportunity to get down to business.
Old Madam Su smiled and said, "Okay, good." ”
The two chatted for a while, Mo Yanxi began to take the pulse seriously, although the pulse was still a little weak, but it was extremely smooth, looking at the old lady's face today, there was no swelling at all, and she was also full of qi when chatting just now.
Mo Yanxi's heart was light, and she asked, "The old lady wants to go outside to bask in the sun?" ”
"Can I go?"
Maybe it was because she hadn't left the house for many days, and Mrs. Su looked longing.
Mo Yanxi nodded affirmatively: "Of course!" Get more sun and you'll recover faster. ”
Mrs. Su clapped her hands eagerly: "Oh, I'm so happy!" Lu Yan, you don't know, they didn't let me do this recently, they didn't let me do that, they didn't even let me walk half a minute more than the road, let alone go out, but they suffocated me! ”
Mo Yanxi said with a smile: "Then it seems that today I want to accompany the old lady to drink a few pots of tea in the garden and accompany you to relieve your boredom." ”
When Mrs. Su heard this, she was very happy, and hurriedly said, "Okay! Very good! Let's get out now! Chun Tao, you go and let them prepare some excellent tea, I want to have a good chat with Lu Yan! ”
"Yes, old lady!"
Mo Yanxi gently supported the old lady, and the two chatted in the garden for two hours before they saw Su Changqing coming, and the old lady Su also looked a little tired, and after saying a few words, Mo Yanxi took his leave, Su Changqing naturally got up and wanted to send it, and the two paced to the shore of Huanxin Lake.
Mo Yanxi said: "Old Madam Su is much faster than I imagined, I thought it would take at least half a month to get out of bed, but when I was in the pulse today, I found that the qi and blood had been circulating, and there was no blockage, presumably it would only be able to heal in half a month, and I had been in Linyuan for seven or eight days, and it was time to leave." You can find another doctor and ask him to call again every other day, it should be safer. ”
"Are you leaving? In such a hurry? ”
When Su Changqing heard this, he was a little reluctant in his heart, although this person was five or six years younger than him, but his knowledge and insights were all first-class good, he had already sent someone to inspect it, and he also knew about the wolf's tooth village, and his intuition told him that this person would be of great use, but he was still reluctant to pull him into the quagmire.
Mo Yanxi said: "I'm not in a hurry, I originally planned to delay for a few days, but now that the old lady's illness has recovered, I should also go to other places to go around, this great river and mountain, there are countless beautiful scenery, if you only stay in one place, it is indeed a waste of time." ”
Su Changqing didn't stay, turned around and said: "Then Su Mou will set up a table and banquet in Yichun Building tomorrow to practice for Bai Gongzi!" ”
Mo Yanxi waved his hand and refused: "No, there is no one in Linyuan City who wants to see below, farewell today, if there is a fate, we will meet ourselves, and I also want to learn about the erudition of the two sons of the Su family." ”
After Mo Yanxi finished speaking, he walked straight to the door, and halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and turned back.
"By the way, Master Su, you haven't given me my other half of the consultation fee yet."
“…………………”
Su Changqing almost spurted blood when he heard this, how did he think of such a poetic, sad and painful situation just now... Of course, this is indeed the reward he deserves, Su Changqing took out the silver ticket that had been prepared from his arms and handed it over.
"Su was immersed in sadness for a while, and he actually forgot that this was what Bai Gongzi deserved."
"Thanks, I'm going to say goodbye."
Mo Yanxi got into the carriage and went to the inn with satisfaction. As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw Sakura Niang waiting at the door.
Not to mention, Sakura took off her cloth clothes and removed the veil on her head, she was really beautiful and moving in such a dress, and she felt a little pleasing to the eye when she saw it herself.
"Upstairs."
"Yes"
The two went upstairs one after the other.
When he got to the house, Mo Yanxi asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Sakura replied 1510: "Miss, the land has been found, about 30 acres, I see that the foundation is complete, and the geographical location is also good, but that piece of land may not be bought." ”
Mo Yanxi frowned and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"The land was originally left by a family to their son to build a new house, who knew that the person was a stubborn, repeatedly failed the exam, threw himself into the river, only the old couple and a young daughter-in-law were left in the family, only two or three acres of land were cultivated, planted some vegetables and fruits, I asked, they didn't buy it no matter how much they paid, saying that they had lived there all their lives and didn't want to leave."
Mo Yanxi listened, thought for a while, and then asked, "Can you ask the daughter-in-law?" ”
Sakura Niang nodded and said, "I asked, saying that everything is up to my in-laws." ”
Mo Yanxi took a sip of tea and said, "It's also an honest one." Then when you go again to-morrow, you will say that you will give the money, and you will be willing to ask the best craftsmen to build them a house next to them, and they will still be able to live there, and if you are worried that you will not have a livelihood in the future, tell them that you are willing to hire them to help us in our workshop. Can Xiucai's body be recovered? ”
Ying Niang said: "I heard others say that the salvage came up, it could have been claimed, but that show was in Wenxi City for scientific research, this place is thousands of miles away from Wenxi City, the mountains are high and the water is long, the old couple is old, the young daughter-in-law of the family goes out alone and is not at ease, it has been two years, I am afraid I don't know how to deal with it." ”
Mo Yanxi shook his head firmly when he heard this: "No, Wen Xi's Jingzhao Mansion Yin is the most methodical, over the years, all unclaimed corpses will be cremated and registered, and the urn of that Xiucai should still be in the cold storage of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, you remember to ask for that Xiucai's name and resume tomorrow, and spend more money to hire someone to get it." ”
Sakura Niang agreed to it all: "Miss, you are so kind to them, and you have solved their worries for them, I think they will naturally agree to sell us the land." ”
Mo Yanxi sighed: "It's just some means to win people's hearts, by the way, let Xiangxue go back to the inn tonight, and I will discuss with her to pretend to leave here tomorrow and get rid of the identity of the Bai family." Here's the other half of the consultation money you got today, you can keep it. ”
"Yes, miss."
The two talked for a while, until it was dark, and Sakura didn't leave.
