Chapter 13: The Feast Reopens
Mo Yanxi was waiting for a transaction in the front yard when he suddenly heard a shouting and scolding.
"Phew! Sure enough, it's a little slut! He looks like a goblin, what are you pretending to be tall? Don't be ignorant, obediently follow us! ”
Before the words could be spoken, a woman with a bewitching posture and brightly dressed led two tall men to escort a young girl out of the backyard.
Mo Yanxi asked in a low voice: "Sanniang, who are those?" ”
Sanniang glanced at Mo Yanxi's gaze and said: "The one who leads is the old bustard of the beautiful courtyard, that girl is also a poor child, it seems that her name is Xiaowan, her family used to be a famous antique shop in the West Market, her father is a powerful one, and he often travels north and south to bring some rare and precious things back, which is very popular with those rich children in the North City." It's just that I somehow offended the old man, you know, these officials are powerful, who dares to care, but the family was imprisoned in three days, and they were beheaded within a month, fortunately, this little Wan girl has been married and has not been troubled, who ever thought that the husband's family was not an inappropriate person, seeing that the little Wan girl was backing the mountain, she was also tired of playing, and it didn't take long to find a crime to Hugh, and later sold her here. No, it's been favored by the Charm Academy. It's a pity that a delicate and glamorous beauty. ”
Mo Yanxi bit her lip and said, "The shyness of the scholar can still be taken off, and the shyness of the woman cannot be taken off." How affectionate the man in this world is, I want that person. ”
When Sanniang heard this, she frowned: "Oh, girl, you are embarrassing me, we also have a first-come-first-served business here, since we have already promised someone to others, how can we go back on your word." ”
Mo Yanxi smiled: "How much she makes, I will double." ”
Sanniang hesitated: "This, it's not appropriate." ”
Mo Yanxi immediately knocked on the table: "Three times." ”
When Sanniang heard this, she finally made up her mind and sighed: "Oh, girl, you are really my little disaster, wait, I will go around." ”
Mo Yanxi stood here and waited, and after a while, there was a quarrel over there, and the old bustard was obviously angry, and pulled Sanniang and walked over here.
"Why, the girl, who came out of the family, also likes to grab food? There is no heavenly reason! The old bustard of the Qinglou stomped his feet and glared at Mo Yanxi.
Mo Yanxi was not in a hurry, raised his head and asked, "Have you already traded to get her identity deed?" If you just bring someone out and say that the person is yours, why don't you say that I have already booked and come to collect someone today? ”
When the boss heard this, his eyes froze: "You... You're clearly lying!! Obviously, you only thought about it when I brought people out, what nonsense are you talking about! ”
Mo Yanxi sneered: "How do you know I'm talking nonsense?" What evidence is there? ”
"The evidence... Hum! Sanniang can, and the people behind me can also testify! The old bustard pointed to the person behind him, full of confidence.
Mo Yanxi raised his hand and touched the agate hairpin on his head, and said in a casual tone: "Really? What you are carrying behind you is just your own person, how can you count, as for Sanniang, you can ask. ”
When Sanniang heard this, she hurriedly said: "Boss Liu, this person is indeed the person who was set by the girl a few days ago, and I came to pick up people today, and I blamed me for forgetting to notify them to go to the brand, which caused today's trouble, but we also have rules in this industry, and everyone has the highest price." It's fair for both sides. ”
Mo Yanxi couldn't help but sigh that this Sanniang is a master who can make money. It's a pity that I was born in this kind of place.
When the old bustard heard this, he crossed his waist and said, "Hmph, the old lady has money." I'm out double. ”
Sanniang pointed at Mo Yanxi: "That girl has already been out." ”
"Really? Then I'll triple out. ”
When Sanniang heard this, she stepped forward and whispered, "Boss Liu, that girl has already been out too." ”
When the old bustard heard this, he finally had nothing to say.
Mo Yanxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Five hundred taels of silver, this person still has those, if you have no opinion, you can trade." ”
Sanniang's face was happy, but when she turned her head, she looked helpless: "Boss Liu, look? ”
The old bustard said angrily: "Hmph! I can see that the two of you are colluding to bully me as a weak woman! ”
Sanniang smiled: "Oh, Boss Liu, how many stunning beauties do you have in your beautiful courtyard, you can't do it alone, and you are married, although you are good-looking, but it is not too expensive, in this way, if you come fresh in the future, I will pick a few of the top ones for you to keep, as for the price, I can give you a discount, how about it?" ”
"Humph! It's pretty much the same, it's boring, let's go! ”
In the end, Mo Yanxi successfully traded, Xiao Wan stood aside and was neither humble nor arrogant, but just cast a respectful look at Mo Yanxi.
Out of the Pingyi Workshop, Mo Yanxi took out five taels of silver from his purse, handed it to Xiao Wan, and said, "There are five taels of silver, you take them and your party to rent two carriages to go to the former Li family's house in Manfeng Lane in Beishi, and someone will arrange it there." From today, you will be able to get out of here, since you have become a member of our Mo family, some words are also to be explained, our family has always been rewarded and punished, but it is definitely generous, I am more protective of my own people, if you are wronged elsewhere in the future, you can say it directly, after finding out the facts, I will naturally go to ask for justice and come back, today is also everyone's birthday, and when I come back in the evening to bring some good wine and meat, everyone have a good time, go. ”
Everyone replied respectfully: "Thank you, master, we will be loyal to you." ”
They have been in the cage for a long time, they have not experienced such warmth for a long time, and they burst into tears for a while, and they were very moved, and they said thoughtful words for a long time before leaving.
Mo Yanxi also immediately found a carriage and went to Nanshi to find Yingniang. The two met, and Ying Niang took Mo Yanxi to see the land.
"This place is even better than I imagined, after the foundation is done, let's build a workshop first, after all, we want to sell incense, or make some finished products earlier." Mo Yanxi looked at the scene in front of him and was very satisfied.
Sakura replied: "At this point, I thought of a place with Miss, now in May, although some flowers have passed the best planting period, but there are still some that can be planted, and they can also be used when making incense." ”
Mo Yanxi smiled: "I believe you can do it, I won't be here recently, and when the people over there are trained well, I will bring a few to assist you." ”
At the time of the unitary, Mo Yanxi returned to the house with a few jars of good Baijiachun and a large bag of braised meat. I have to say that Xiangxue is really good at training people, and she has already cleaned up three rooms that can survive in only half a day.
The person who brought it back only briefly treated the wound, washed it clean, and was still wearing the tattered coarse linen clothes he had worn when he came out of the Heijibo.
At the end of the day, the people took their seats in the courtyard.
Mo Yanxi took out the wine and said: "Xiangxue, this altar of Baijiachun will be kept for the craftsman to drink tomorrow, and also, when we rest tonight, take out our clothes for the girl to wear first, measure the size tomorrow, go to the embroidery workshop to catch a few pieces, and everyone will wear them first." ”
"Yes, miss."
Mo Yanxi looked at everyone and asked, "In addition to Mingsang, Xiangxue, and Xiaowan, do you still have your own name?" ”
The crowd replied with a rambling back.
"Miss Hui, my name is Honghua."
"Miss Hui, my name is Xiaolan."
Hearing this, Mo Yanxi shook his head: "This name is not good." ”
A young man who looked lively raised his hand and said:
"Miss! Miss! I! My name is Ergou, and my mother said that it is easy to feed by a cheap name! ”
The young man spoke, causing everyone to laugh loudly.
There are still some people here who don't even have names, Mo Yanxi was a little sad after hearing it, and his heart was so unkind that he regarded all things as Zou dogs!
Mo Yanxi sighed and put on a smile again: "Miss, I don't want to say that I have any university questions, but I have also read some books, if you don't dislike it, are you willing to let me give me a name." ”
Everyone replied excitedly: "Please give the name of the young lady!" ”
Mo Yanxi got up and said: "Honghua, you are delicate and gentle, the so-called clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving, it is better to call Qingrong, Xiaolan this orchid word is very good, the deep valley of Youlan is often by the stream, it is good to call Lanxi, the name of the second dog is not good, you are lively by nature, the ancient poem has a cloud and silver saddle to shine on a white horse, sassy like a meteor, it is called quicksilver, what about you, introverted, a smile and a smile like a delicate flower shining on the water, called Zhaohua, and the corners of your eyes are raised, born with charm, there is a banshee and beautiful, Pei Hui Xiangshuimei, called Xiangmei, and the five of you, Life often seeks peace and joy, everything goes well, but there are a few people who are like this in their lives, you are called Changping, Chang'an, Changxi, Changle, Changshun, I also hope you are like this. ”
"Miss Xie!"
Qingrong Lanxi and the others were very happy when they heard their names, the previous days could not be called days, and now the days of living in a lightless room are finally over.
Mo Yanxi looked at everyone and said: "The twelve of you were personally selected by me, and they will naturally be more intimate than others in the future, and now there are only fifteen of us in this Mo house, except for Xiangxue Yingniang, I have no relatives in the past, and in the future, I will rely on you to take care of each other, come and drink, everyone has fun tonight!" ”
"Yes, Miss, we will be born and die for Miss, and we will never betray!"
Never betray, this is what Mo Yanxi wants to hear the most, everyone in this world has a clever mouth, and anyone who says this may do less than one in ten thousand.
An hour later, almost the people at the table were drunk, lying on the table and unable to move, and the moon in the sky was very bright.
Mo Yanxi also drank a lot, she was dizzy at this time, I have to say that the stamina of this Baijiachun is really big, she looked at the moon, and couldn't help but think of the Mid-Autumn Festival one year, when her mother was still there, and she also did a few small dishes at night, a pot of good wine, and moon cakes made by her mother, at that time she often grabbed moon cakes with Wanghua to eat.
The four of them sat at the table and chatted happily, she also remembered that once, her father's very favored aunt came to the incense house to find trouble, knocked over the moon cakes made by her mother, and escorted her mother to the ancestral hall to kneel.
The next day, she found a way to get her father to sell her aunt to the kiln, and she heard that she died soon after.
Her hands were not clean a long time ago, and they will only get more blood in the future.
"I... I want a name too. ”
Mo Yanxi was immersed in memories, when someone suddenly pulled the hem of her skirt, she turned her head to look over, it turned out to be Xiao Wan. She had also drunk a lot of wine, her little face was red, her eyes were bright like a child's, and there was a drop of wine dripping from her chin.
Mo Yanxi heard Sanniang say that Xiaowan got married before they merged, and now she is only fourteen years old.
Mo Yanxi replied softly, "I think your name is very good." ”
"But I want to."
"Then I'll call you Nanke, okay?"
"Nanke, but I can't be the one who wakes up from a big dream, you too, you can't do it, we can't help ourselves after all."
"Hongchen has thousands of things, and he has a poor life, but Nan Ke has a dream, why take it seriously."
"It's not true, it's not true, are you talking about me, or are you talking about it?"
"It's not you, it's not me."
"I like the name very much, I don't understand the others. Come, and wine, let's drink. What is the name of this wine, it gives me a headache when I drink it, it can be seen that it is not a good thing! ”
"Baijia Chun, I heard that it is brewed with the earliest batch of rice in spring, the entrance is sweet and mellow, each family will brew, but each family, the taste of each brew is different, there are few such superlatives."
"Baijiachun... It's not as delicious as Daddy's peach blossom dew. ”
"My mother's peach blossom wine is also a must, Nan Ke, do you think it's good for us to plant some peach blossoms in the backyard?"
"Well... Well, I think it's good to have endless peach blossom dew in this way. ”
Mo Yanxi tilted his head and chuckled: "I think too." ”
