The customers of the restaurant come and go, and the noise and noise can sometimes make people feel tired when they listen to too much.

Ruqing took advantage of the lack of guests in the afternoon and secretly ran to the top of the building, it happened that today was a sunny day, and she liked the comfortable life of basking in the sun in the afternoon.

"So you're here."

Just when Ruqing almost closed her eyes and fell asleep, she suddenly heard Mo Simin's voice, and when she turned her head, she saw Mo Simin walking up the stairs and walking towards her.

"Oh, shopkeeper Mo, you're too well-informed," Ruqing deliberately made a dejected expression, sighed and said, "I just slipped up to rest for a while, and I was going to take a breath, so you came up and grabbed me, it's too inhumane, and people will secretly complain behind their backs for squeezing employees like this." ”

Mo Simin couldn't help laughing, and said with crooked eyebrows: "What nonsense, I saw you close your eyes, you are just lazy." ”

Ruqing sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "The unscrupulous shopkeeper bullied me, so I'll go down to work." ”

She got up and was about to go downstairs, when Mo Simin suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed her back: "The conscience of the shopkeeper Mo found out, don't you want me to work too hard?" ”

Mo Simin lowered his face, the tips of his ears stained with crimson, and muttered, "I have something to tell you." ”

Ruqing finally stopped talking poorly this time, but raised her eyebrows and waited quietly for her next step.

Recently, Mo Simin is not quite right, An Xiabai once reminded her, and asked her to pay more attention to Mo Simin's psychological condition, at first Ruqing thought that Mo Simin's mood was not right because she still had thoughts about Lu Li, but the recent observation told her that it was not, someone should have something in mind, but she wore out her mouth and knocked on the side, and she couldn't ask a reason.

Now is she willing to say it herself?

"If you have something to say, tell me directly, what kind of friendship we have, friends of life and death, I will definitely not reveal half a word about your affairs."

"I know you won't." Mo Simin pondered for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said: "My father has often come to the restaurant to eat recently, because he wants to marry me off, and he is now looking for a son with a matching family background in the capital, just waiting for me to speak, or nod." ”

Ruqing grew up in a cottage since she was a child, and she looked at marriage very lightly, but she was quite envious of Mo Simin for having a father to help Zhang Luo get married.

Someone's thinking about it, isn't it?

"Isn't that great, you're really old enough to get married, and your father is worried about you." She smiled and reached out to pinch Mo Simin's face, "Some people want their family members to help Zhang Luo, but they don't have a chance, but you are good, and you even start to dislike it." ”

Mo Simin rarely didn't slap her hand away, her expression was quite uncomfortable, and her cheeks were red: "I know he's doing this for my good, but I think I'm still young." ”

Ruqing sneered: "At your age, some people are married and have children, and there are even children who have both children, which is not small." ”

Mo Simin still shook his head, saying that he didn't want to marry now: "Even if I want to marry, I want to marry someone I like." ”

"Do you have someone you like?" Ruqing looked surprised, looking at her as if she was looking at a stranger.

She also thought that Mo Simin was still young, but she didn't expect people to be so psychologically mature, and even her sweetheart had it: "You are enlightened, it's a good thing, I just don't know who your sweetheart is and what his character is, if he is not good, for the sake of our friendship, I can't let you marry if I give him a beating." ”

Mo Simin's cheeks were red, and his eyes seemed to be rubbed into the stars, very bright.

is such a pair of eyes staring at Ruqing, but the latter didn't notice it at all, and was still guessing what kind of person Mo Simin would like.

"Can't you see it?" Mo Simin shook his head and sighed.

Ruqing was stunned for a moment, but when she came over, she happened to meet Mo Simin's eyes, and between the four eyes, an almost absurd thought appeared in her heart.

"You don't like me, do you?" Ruqing pointed at herself, shocked.

Mo Simin didn't think it was embarrassing, so she nodded, with a smile and shyness on her face: "I thought you would have seen it a long time ago." ”

The people in the entire restaurant could see that Mo Simin's attitude towards Ruqing was different, but she was the only one who was dull.

"I don't think it can be done." Ruqing swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and subconsciously took two steps back, in addition to the shock on her face, she also mixed other emotions, all of which Mo Simin couldn't understand.

finally mustered up the courage to come over and confess to someone, but when he got such an answer, Mo Simin suddenly exploded: "Why can't the two of us, am there anything I can't deserve you, or do you already have a place in your heart?" ”

Ruqing's usual flamboyant momentum dissipated, she took a few steps back, and said embarrassedly: "It's not that you are not worthy of me, but that we are not suitable." ”

In the puzzled gaze cast by Mo Simin, Ruqing sighed, raised her hand to take off her hair crown, and the three thousand green silks suddenly poured down, setting off her delicate eyebrows a little coquettish.

She looked handsome and handsome when she tied up her hair crown, and her temperament changed after taking off the hair crown, just like a woman!

Mo Simin's eyes widened, and she almost tripped over the stones under her feet, but fortunately, Ruqing quickly helped her to prevent her from falling to the ground.

As soon as she stood still, she slapped Ruqing's hand away: "Are you a woman?" ”

Ruqing nodded awkwardly: "I thought you knew, and Mrs. Lu also knew." ”

In an instant, it was like a firework popping in his head, Mo Simin had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and a thousand words finally turned into a fierce stamping, and his originally red cheeks became as white as paper.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it all back into her stomach, turned and ran away with tears in her eyes.

Ruqing stood in place for a long time, raised her hand to pull up the crown of her hair, and pulled her clothes with great disgust.

At this time, she really wished she was born a man.

Mo Simin didn't show up again until the evening, it was said that she was not feeling well, and she went home to rest, which is a good thing for Ruqing, after all, she hasn't figured out what face she should use to face Mo Simin, and it's not a trivial matter to pay her feelings wrongly after all.

Just when Ruqing was scratching her ears and cheeks for this, something big suddenly happened in the restaurant.

When several officials entered the restaurant, they opened their mouths and said that they wanted to see An Xiabai, saying that she had committed a crime, and as soon as An Xiabai came out of the kitchen, they surrounded the people.

That battle, just like An Xiabai being a traitor, scared the guests who ate in the restaurant so much that they didn't dare to speak.

Several thugs in the restaurant are not vegetarians, when they used to be mountain bandits in the mountains, what they hated most was the officials who oppressed the people, and now when they saw them treating An Xiabai like this, they almost didn't rush up to beat people.

An Xiabai ordered them to retreat, and said calmly: "Several officials said that I broke the law, but what exactly did I commit, can you tell me carefully, and let me explain to my guests." ”

The officials looked at each other and never said the reason, An Xiabai sneered, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Several officials keep saying that I committed a crime, but they can't tell what I committed a crime, isn't this deliberately making fun of me?" I dare to ask you if you have any arrest documents issued by the governor's yamen, if not, I dare not go with you. ”

"Really clever speech, if the official doesn't come, I'm afraid that the black will be turned white by you." Suddenly, someone sneered and slowly walked into the restaurant.

The person who came was a familiar face, he just turned into ashes, and Lu Li could recognize it: "Lord Zhou, if you have any dissatisfaction and come directly at me, why embarrass my wife?" ”

Zhou Wensheng raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "What is called embarrassment, this official is obviously here to arrest the criminal, you don't want to spew blood." ”

An Xiabai was afraid that Lu Li and Ruqing would have a dispute with them, so he persuaded him: "It's okay, I'm sitting up straight, I'm not afraid of being checked, but I don't know what crime I have committed, and it is worth coming over in person?" ”

"Isn't it a crime that you deliberately don't pay taxes when you open a restaurant?" Zhou Wensheng said that he ordered his subordinates to directly bring An Xiabai back to the yamen for interrogation.

An Xiabai didn't expect him to put such a charge on himself, and couldn't help but feel funny: "I'll go back with the adults, just leave, I don't want to delay the business in the store." ”

When has it been since then, and you are still worried about the business of the restaurant?

Lu Li tightened her brows, seeing her being taken away by the official, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart: "Sometimes I can't help but want to admire her composure. ”

Ruqing patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Think about it from another angle, in fact, her calmness will also be her trust in us, she believes that we will definitely be able to solve things." ”

Lu Li nodded, and cheered up: "I'll go to the governor's yamen to find Lord Shen, maybe he can help us." ”

"I'll accompany you-" Ruqing was halfway through speaking, and suddenly changed her words, "Mo Simin's father's official position is not low, maybe I can go to him for help, he is familiar with Zhou Wensheng, maybe he can find a way." ”

They divided into two ways, and Ruqing went straight to the Mo family.

If you want Mo Qiyan to help, you have to go to see Mo Simin, Ruqing walked into the Mo family hall nervously, and couldn't help but think of the scene when Mo Simin confessed earlier.

After living for so many years, it's the first time I've been so embarrassed.

Mo Simin received the report and soon appeared in the hall, she changed her clothes, her expression was haggard, her eyes were a little red and swollen, as soon as they met, she didn't give Ruqing a chance to ask for warmth, and asked directly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

An Xiabai was still in prison waiting for them to rescue her, thinking of this, Ruqing no longer felt embarrassed, she told Mo Simin what happened in the restaurant today: "I think Master Mo can help, so I came to find you." ”

Mo Simin nodded indifferently: "I will tell my father about this matter, and he will help solve it." ”
