When Li Yuan came in, he saw Mo Yanxi sitting on the table by the window, waving back and forth, flipping through the account book while making calculations, and he really looked like the boss and the owner.

Li Yuan touched his nose, and then said with a smile: "I didn't see it before, you still have such skills, don't say anything else, just this drunk ten miles, whether it is in Hundred Emperor City, Linyuan City, or Wenxi City, all of them are top-notch, you can come up with such a good idea?" Didn't your ancestors really do business? ”

When Mo Youxi heard this, he raised his head, only to find that Li Yuan was leaning against the door obliquely, holding two jars of wine in his hand and a brown paper bag, and was squinting at her at the moment, smiling at her.

Although everyone said that he was a gentleman who did not learn and did not know how to do anything, Mo Yanxi always felt that he looked at the ruffian, like a noble son who did not do business, but this heart was very arrogant, plus he could have known Liu Tangyue for a long time, how could he be such a person.

Mo Yanxi sighed, put the pen down, and stretched: "Why are you free?" If I had known that I would be busy all the time, I wouldn't want to do this business. ”

Li Yuan was not polite, he sat down by himself, put the things in his hand on the table, crossed Erlang's legs, and said: "You are in the blessing and don't know the blessing, do you know how many people are blushing at your business?" How can there be such a thing as lying down and earning money? Come and sit down, I bought you your favorite osmanthus cake, which you have always loved to eat, I went to the old man's house and begged him to make it. ”

Mo Yanxi was stunned for a while, watching Li Yuan unwrap the paper bag, revealing the familiar osmanthus cake, this fragrance is indeed the kind in his memory.

"You... Why did I know that I have always enjoyed eating this? And the old man did it? ”

Mo Yanxi pinched a piece of pastry and sniffed it, and then asked with some doubts.

Li Yuan covered his head and took a sip of wine, and then said with a wry smile: "Because where we were when we first met." I remember that winter, in addition to the snow, there was a downpour. It rained in winter, which was the first time in Wenxi City, and I have only seen that one so far. It was so cold that winter that the rain was colder than the snow. ”

Mo Yanxi frowned, thinking about it, but she couldn't remember, all she remembered in her mind was the bits and pieces of everyone in the Incense Garden.

"On that day, you came alone, wearing a small green padded jacket and two pearl rings on your head, white and tender, small, and at first glance you were a rich lady."

Li Yuan said, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked.

"Actually, I followed you all the way, and when I saw that you were alone, and no one was around, I had a bad intention, and finally you stopped there to buy osmanthus cake, and I stole your money bag, and then pretended to knock you down and took the pearl hair ring on your head."

"Who knows, you are a powerful person, and you are also a smart person, you reacted after a while, and then chased me all the way, anyway, I still don't know how your little short legs caught up with me."

"You chased me to a ruined thatched cottage, and that was the first time I really saw you. Actually, I've been living there for almost a month. But in that filthy and dilapidated place, besides me, there were other begging children, who were stronger than me, taller than me, and even more capable than me, and who could easily disguise themselves as pitiful, and then take the silver under the disdainful gaze of the rich young lady. But... I can't. ”

Saying that, Li Yuan sighed, took another sip of wine, and then continued: "I can't do such a thing, so in a month, I have never begged, but I don't want to die either, so I learned to steal." ”

"It happened that the weather was bad in those days, and the rich nobles rarely went out, and even when they went out, they were in carriages, and they didn't want to stay at all, so the children in the grass hall set their eyes on me. They robbed me of all my finances and beat me half to death. It's ridiculous to say that they can wag their tails and beg for mercy with those dignitaries in a low voice. But he didn't want to say a good word to me. I originally wanted to give them the money... Such days are too hard, I already have a cold, so I feel that it will not be any better, and it is good to die like this. ”

Mo Yanxi listened quietly, there seemed to be a vague impression in her mind, as soon as she looked up, she saw Li Yuan's eyes were red, she pursed her lips, picked up the wine on the table, and took a big sip.

Seeing this, Li Yuan's eyes became gentle, and he took out a pair of pearl hair rings that had been dimmed from his arms: "However, fortunately, you chased after me, I watched you pick up a wooden beam that was taller than yourself, and drove away those beggars who were already timid and afraid, and didn't forget to threaten others a few words." You gave me some broken silver, and then there was the broken osmanthus cake. ”

"On that day, you told me many things, and I wrote them all down, and at last you took me by the hand and told me that I must live, and that I owe you the money, and I must pay it back to you. So I survived. ”

Mo Yanxi listened, a trace of distress appeared in his heart, and when he saw Li Yuan's expression calm down for a while, he asked, "You... But how could the prince of the Guogong Mansion live on the streets? ”

"Li Mengyao's mother was kind and jealous, and when she was alive, she looked at my mother very unpleasantly, so that year, she specially took me out and threw me away. She is the matriarch of the Guogong Mansion, and even if she does this, no one will dare to do anything to her. Originally, I was sold to the Broken Jade Pavilion as a little tooth, but thanks to the stupidity of those strong men, I escaped. Later, he went home by himself. ”

"So, you didn't want to go back?"

Mo Yanxi heard this and asked softly.

Li Yuan nodded: "Yes, I originally wanted not to go back, I avoided the carriage of the Guogong Mansion on the way, and in the first few days, the Guogong Mansion also sent someone to look for it, I saw it, but I didn't get close." Li Mengyao's mother said that as long as I am willing to leave by myself, then she will no longer embarrass my mother. So... I thought, I might as well just disappear. ”

Mo Yanxi nodded, and for a while, in his heart, he had mixed tastes and couldn't say anything. At that time, Li Chengming was still a son, and there were other brothers in the family, so they had not yet reached the point where they could be powerful. The woman was notoriously jealous. Because he didn't give birth to a son, he always had a cold face when he saw someone else's son. In this country's mansion, there are really few children who can grow up safely.

"In this case, it is said that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, even if it was a tael of silver at that time, what is it now, you have to pay me back a hundred taels, the next time we meet, don't forget!"

Mo Yanxi saw that the atmosphere was a little gloomy and hurriedly relieved it, in fact, at that time, she was also very poor, and the money in her hand was all changed by her mother except for the pitiful broken silver given by the Prime Minister's Mansion every month. On that day, she lost her wife and soldiers. I went back and was scolded, and I stood for a long time!

Hearing this, Li Yuan smiled: "Naturally, I have to pay it back, this is more than a hundred taels of silver that can be repaid." I'm afraid it will take a lifetime. ”

The last few words, Li Yuan said very lightly, he was still a little scared after all. I'm afraid that the answer I get will be such a neat refusal. When Yuan Huaisheng decided to remove himself from his post and marry her, he was already uncertain.

"I'll save you once, you save me once, that day in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if it weren't for you, where would I be now, in this way, neither of us owes anyone anything."

Mo Yanxi smiled, raised the wine jar in front of Li Yuan, and touched it.

The smile on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth froze a little, and it took a long time before he said, "I sneaked in to see you that day." Mo Fulin originally only invited Li Chengming and Li Mengyao, so I secretly pretended to be a little girl and sneaked in. Originally, I wanted to hold you and say a few words, but Li Mengyao came, I could only hide, at that time, I was not fully fledged, and Li Mengyao was the proud daughter of the sky, as long as it was her words, I might die without a place to be buried. I didn't expect her to do that to you. ”

"It's all over, and we're seizing the day. I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Liu Tangyue. The Liu family is not an ordinary existence. If Li Chengming knew about the relationship between you and Miss Liu, I am afraid that he would like to beg you to offer you to heaven. ”

Mo Yanxi's face was slightly red, and he raised his eyebrows mischievously, and said.

Li Yuan scratched the back of his head and hurriedly said, "I don't have anything with her, if there really is, it can only be the relationship between brothers and sisters in the same sect." She and I are both disciples of the Mo family. Taught by the same master, she is like a sibling, she is my own sister, and we are absolutely innocent and clean. ”

Mo Yanxi nodded with a smile, and deliberately teased Li Yuan: "What are you doing so nervously?" I didn't say what you two have, just said that if you really want it, it depends on whether Miss Liu is willing or not, anyway, I know that everyone Liu is definitely unwilling. ”

As soon as he said this, Mo Yanxi suddenly remembered something, his eyes froze, and he said, "But, I heard... The Liu family seems to have an accident, and I don't know if the Liu family is okay. ”

"Don't worry, I've let my people follow, besides, that girl has never been a vegetarian. Even if there is anything, it will definitely handle it well. ”

Mo Yanxi nodded, seeing that a jar of wine had already been eaten, he didn't feel comfortable at this time. Xiangxue saw Mo Yanxi's appearance from a distance, and hurriedly walked in, saying, "Miss, what kind of wine are you drinking in broad daylight, hurry up, Yingniang asked me to invite you over." ”

When Mo Yanxi heard this, he reluctantly got up and let Li Yuan take care of himself.

Li Yuan looked at Mo Yanxi's distant back, couldn't help sighing, and said in his heart: "I'm sorry Yan Xi, please forgive me for being selfish." ”
