Chapter Seventy-Four: The Hand of Others
When Liu Tangyue came out of Xu's house, Xu Ruojin had disappeared. She hurried away after saying goodbye to the crowd in the front yard.
On the carriage, Xiao Rou saw Liu Tangyue take out a simple jade pendant from her arms, and her pupils were stunned: "Miss!" Didn't the old man ask you to give this to the old man of the Xu family? Why is it still in your hands. ”
Liu Tangyue stretched out her hand and rubbed the jade pendant: "I heard Mr. Xu say that the old man of their family has not come back for many years. ”
"What then? Could it be some accident? But I don't think I've heard anything like that. ”
Xiaorou tilted her head and thought about it.
Liu Tangyue snorted coldly: "We haven't been wandering around in Cilu City for nothing these days. ”
"Could it be that Miss Chengcheng, you already know where Mr. Xu is?"
"Two days ago, we went to Fan's winery, their wine is famous, there are years, but anyone who understands wine and loves wine will come to their house to buy wine. Didn't the shopkeeper say that there was an unusual guest who came often? ”
Xiao Rou finally remembered: "It seems that I heard from the shopkeeper that there is a monk from the Fenglei Temple in the west of the city, who will come every few days." ”
Liu Tangyue nodded, and said with a determined gaze: "There are clear rules and precepts among the monks, and he is wine-colored and meat-eating, and he bears the brunt of it, if he really likes to drink, he should have been expelled from the mountain gate a long time ago." However, I heard that this old gentleman of the Xu family is a person who does not drink or enjoy. ”
Xiao Rou suddenly realized: "What Miss means is that Mr. Xu is in Fenglei Temple." ”
Liu Tangyue smiled and said nothing, half a salary, frowning, as if she remembered something: "When did the old man in our family have the real dragon jade pendant?" I've been looking at this texture for years. ”
When Xiao Rou heard this, she took a closer look, and then her eyes lit up: "Miss, there seems to be something on this jade pendant." It's vague and invisible. ”
When Liu Tangyue heard this, she looked at it for a while, and a faint smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth: "Prepare a few jars of good wine today, and we will also go to Fenglei Temple tomorrow, if the uncle can personally go to Zhaoyuan Country to pray for blessings, we must always express our sincerity." ”
Listening to the rain in the courtyard, Mo Yanxi and the wind fanned into the main courtyard and sat down. Mrs. Xu smiled happily, looked at the two from beginning to end, and was pleasantly surprised in her heart, there were girls from the Liu family in the front, the Feng family in the back, and the two beauties of the Mo family.
"How is Mrs. Xu doing?"
Mo Yanxi saw Mrs. Xu looking at the two of them thoughtfully, and couldn't help but pull Mrs. Xu's thoughts back.
Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes, patted her thighs, and then covered her face and smiled: "I have some old problems with my body, I have chest tightness, and it has been raining a few days ago, mixed with cold wind, and I can't breathe." Who knew that the clouds dispersed today, and the sun came out, and now that I see you two girls, I think that I am afraid that a few of you have come and brought in the blessings. ”
After speaking, a maid serving tea came in, and Mrs. Xu hurriedly beckoned: "Go and invite the young master to come and sit together." You're the same age, and if you can talk, you're not as boring as I am. ”
When Mo Yanxi heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Madame, where is this, from the moment she entered the door, Yan Xi felt at home, and I don't know if it is fate, I am very cordial with my wife." ”
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was overjoyed: "Really? That's really good, my family is a single seedling, and it's still a ...... That's still a person who studies and practices martial arts every day, and he used to see a well-behaved girl from someone else's house. I was so envious, thinking that it would be nice if there was a girl in the family, and when I saw you today, I just thought about how good it would be if you could stay in the Xu family! ”
Mo Yanxi smiled faintly: "Mrs. Lan Xiuhui, Mr. Xu is magnificent, presumably the son of the family is also the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he must be envied by others." ”
When Mrs. Xu heard this, her face changed color, and she patted the table: "Envy? Who is blind to envy my family's ...... of rebellion?"
Mrs. Xu realized that she was angry for a while, and she actually told the truth, and hurriedly coughed lightly: "I mean, no matter how angry you are, you are also a master who is not at home, and she often goes out to study, and her relationship with me as a mother is very weak, who is willing to be a parent and share with her own children." ”
After speaking, Mrs. Xu hid her face and sighed lightly.
Mo Yanxi hurriedly comforted: "The body is skinny, the parents are connected, this blood is connected, how can it be said that it will be broken, the son is young and promising, everything naturally has his own opinion, and now there are few people who are willing to work hard, presumably Xu Gongzi will be able to leap into the dragon gate in the future." ”
These words reached Mrs. Xu's heart, and the more she looked at Mo Yanxi, the more pleasing she became.
was chatting, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps at the door, it was the maid who had just gone to invite the young master of the Xu family to walk in, bowed her head and whispered: "Mrs. Hui, the young master is not in Pinglanxuan, I asked the scholar who served beside me, and I heard that I went out just now to make an appointment with someone to go to Huanshalou." ”
"Huansha Building?? This little rabbit cub ate the bear's heart and leopard gall! Qingtian and daytime actually went to drink flower wine! ”
Mrs. Xu was furious, got up and slapped the table hard, and after venting, she remembered that there were still distinguished guests in the house, and quickly explained with a smile: "This... This literati! Since ancient times, there are some habits that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, and a few of them like to go to Huanshalou to drink and write poems. ”
Mo Yanxi heard this, and smiled: "Naturally, there is, it is harmless, by the way, I just heard that Mrs. Xu often has chest tightness, I am afraid that there is some heart disease, the little girl is not talented, and she still has some research on pharmacology, and she is also in business, specializing in selling some incense, these incense are mixed with herbs, and today I just brought some incense that can soothe the body and mind, why don't you ask Mrs. Xu to give it a try?" ”
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she instantly became interested, and hurriedly said: "Since it was brought by Miss Mo, it should be excellent, hurry up and get the things that Miss Mo brought!" ”
A quarter of an hour later, the servant of the house came in with something. Mo Yanxi got up and personally served Mrs. Xu with some incense. After a while, an extremely delicate and fresh fragrance wafted out.
This incense is called Duxin, which is filled with licorice, skullcap, and poria juice, which can relieve fatigue, calm the mind, and open the chest to relieve boredom. Mrs. Xu works day and night, and it is the most suitable. ”
Mrs. Xu closed her eyes and enjoyed it, and instantly felt that the anger just now had disappeared, and she seemed to be on the edge of a small spring with the spring mountain stream, comfortable and accessible.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and another refreshing scent of orchids came.
Mrs. Xu opened her eyes: "This fragrance is very wonderful, it smelled like a freshly blooming camellia just now, and now it is a hidden orchid in the deep valley!" ”
Mo Yanxi raised her eyebrows, pondered for a while, and suddenly realized: "Mrs. Xu misunderstood, no matter how wonderful this fragrance is, it can only present a taste in the end, as for this orchid fragrance, it is emitted from these cloth brocades." ”
Mrs. Xu was shocked when she heard this, and walked in the direction pointed by Mo Yanxi, looking at the two pieces of fabric on the table, one was moon-white, glowing with a faint fluorescence like the moon in the night, and the other was wisteria-colored, like grapes that had just ripen in the garden with dewdrops. The top is embroidered with silver thread with orchids.
Mrs. Xu looked at it for a long time, picked up the cloth and smelled it, and couldn't help but praise again and again: "There is such a magical fabric in this world, looking at the embroidery is not only fresh and beautiful, the color is pure, but also the fragrance, just now, I actually feel that the flowers of this cloth are alive!" ”
When Mo Yanxi heard this, she was overjoyed in her heart, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "This fabric is also made by us, and it was originally a product brought to Feiling Shop, but I was in a hurry all the way, and I didn't prepare any gifts to take, so I had to take these home-made things." ”
Mrs. Xu still looked at the material carefully, couldn't put it down, heard the words, turned around and asked, "Feiling shop?" I've been there a lot to make clothes, but I've never seen such a magical fabric. ”
"Because it was just made, this product has just arrived, and it is only supplied to Feiling Shop, and it will take half a month to make clothes and hang them out for sale."
Mrs. Xu listened, and the joy on her face was a little more: "I like this material very much, and in a few days, it will coincide with the marriage of the eldest son of the old man's family in the city. ”
Mo Yanxi hurriedly followed Mrs. Xu's words and said: "That's natural, when you go, you will naturally be the only one to dominate, this good material naturally has to be matched with good craftsmanship, it is better for Mrs. Xu to go to Feiling Shop to make clothes." Their family's craftsmanship is fine, and their costumes are fresh and varied, so they must be able to make clothes that satisfy Mrs. Xu. ”
Mrs. Xu smiled: "That's natural, your goods were originally only sent to Feiling Shop, so I naturally can't make it difficult for you." Now it seems that Miss Mo's ability to do business is far better than that of most men, and she looks like she is dignified and dignified. It's me who underestimated. ”
"Mrs. Xu praised it falsely, and she didn't dare to be ashamed."
Mo Yanxi bowed his head in shame and replied, because several people had a very happy conversation, and he didn't let Su Changfeng and the others go back until more than half of Shen Shi.
On the way, Su Changfeng looked tired, he listened to it for a long time just now, and he was really tired.
"Second son Su, what's wrong? It looked like he hadn't slept in days. ”
Tang Mingsang yawned and replied for Su Changfeng: "Why else, this Mr. Xu is really a strange person, he has been chatting for several hours, and he doesn't even take a breath." ”
Mo Yanxi chuckled: "Mr. Xu is really a talkative person, Second Prince Su is tired, but I have good news to tell you here." I hope to refresh you. ”
"What's the good news? I've always felt like your good news is full of pitfalls. ”
Su Changfeng had a cold face and replied in disgust.
Mo Yanxi raised his eyebrows and said softly: "This good news is that your Feiling shop will become a matter for everyone in Lucheng to discuss after tea and dinner in a few days." ”
