Chapter 110: Borrowing
Chapter 110: Borrowing
Yesterday, Zhou Lingling came to visit first, but she didn't know what she said to Mrs. Xie, but she successfully asked for the only pot of famous camellia wrapped in red makeup in Xie's mansion. And Mrs. Xie is still a little unwell today, the temperature has plummeted in the past few days, and she has caught a cold. Mrs. Xie didn't plan to meet guests today, but she had just drunk medicine and wanted to find someone to talk to relieve her sleep, so Mo Li happened to come over, so she asked someone to come in.
Hearing Xie Gexian's words, Mo Li's mood sank slightly, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "The only pot of famous products?" ”
"It should be the only pot of famous products that can be sent out, and other aunts are like life, and even Brother Yun can't touch it casually on weekdays." Xie Gexian lowered his eyes and looked at Mo Li and smiled lightly, and then made a suggestion euphemistically, "It's just a pity that the time is too rushed, if it can be set for next summer, I can ask for another pot of famous camellia for the girl." ”
Mo Li was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that Xie Gexian was showing her another way, and he was hinting that she could make a heavy gift to Shi Dashan first, so that she could set up a line for her. Mo Li thought about it, then smiled slightly, neither accepted nor refused, just thanked him softly, and then led the red bean to the old lady Xie with the people of the Xie Mansion.
When Xie Gexian went to the other side, he glanced back at Mo Li's back, and there was still a gentle and elegant smile on the corner of his mouth. Ah Sheng also turned his head, but his gaze swept over Xie Ge's strings after retracting from Mo Li. The cold wind of autumn and winter blew from the side, ruffling the slightly long bangs on his forehead, revealing the dim eyes under his sword eyebrows, and the faint madness swayed gently in his deep dark eyes.
The moment the cold wind blew up the cloak on his body, Xie Gexian suddenly felt as if he was standing in the wilderness being targeted by a wild beast, the dangerous aura was like a sharp sword approaching, the feeling was terrifying, and cold sweat suddenly seeped out from his back. He reflexively turned his head to see Ah Sheng's undisguised indifferent eyes.
Xie Gexian was stunned, the smile on his face was slightly hidden, and he realized it in his heart, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it was really the first time he had seen such a wonderful person with such a sense of territory.
……
"I wanted to invite my brother to come over and talk about it, but I never had the opportunity, and I didn't want to meet here today, but it's a pity that I didn't prepare good wine in advance." Xie Gexian asked Ping'an to bring the warm wine, personally poured a glass for Ah Sheng, and then said with a smile.
"Don't be so polite, you can just call me by my name in the future." Ah Sheng picked up the wine glass, which was only two or three fingers thick, and after taking a sip, he glanced at the enamell-encrusted amphora celadon wine jug in Xie Gexian's hand. The wine was so mild that it was like fruit wine for the girls, and although he was not fond of alcohol, as long as he drank with men, he mostly drank the spirits like burning knives. Real spirits, as long as three glasses are down, a fire will burn in the body, and the strong and mellow aroma of the wine will not be blown away even by the cold wind in the north.
"Speaking of which, I don't even know anything about Brother Tai's surname so far, I only know that everyone calls Brother Tai Ah Sheng." Xie Gexian picked up his glass of wine as he spoke, the corners of his mouth lifted lightly, and he asked casually, "Ah Sheng is his real name, or is it a nickname that everyone is used to calling?" ”
Ah Sheng glanced at Xie Gexian, and paused for a while before saying, "I have been called this since I have my own name, it should be regarded as my real name, and the surname is just given by others, so don't say it." ”
Xie Gexian smiled and clinked glasses with Ah Sheng: "Brother Tai's words always seem to be different from others, could it be that Brother Tai didn't have a name at the beginning?" And how can the surname be given by someone else? ”
Ah Sheng put down his wine glass, leaned back while sitting on the couch, propped his hands back, and then looked at Xie Gexian and grinned, with a bit of wildness in his eyes: "Because I was adopted when I was a child, I always have to have a title to distinguish from others, so the old man who adopted me gave me a name." ”
Xie Gexian was stunned for a while, and then said: "That Lingzun and Lingtang ......"
"Dead." Ah Sheng lowered his eyes, sighed lightly, then picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass of wine, and did not speak again.
Xie Gexian still wanted to ask, but when he saw Ah Sheng's expression at this time, he had to smile faintly and accept it.
……
Half an hour later, Ping An came in and said, "Childe, the maid next to Miss Mo sent a message, saying that Miss Mo is going back." ”
Ah Sheng stood up as soon as he heard this, and Xie Gexian also got up, and asked Ping'an: "Did Miss Mo come out of her aunt empty-handed?" ”
"The two maids in the old lady's house carried the pot of eighteen scholars and followed Miss Mo and were heading to the warm flower room." When Ping An said this, there was still a little surprise on his face. On the day of Mrs. Xie's birthday banquet, Xie Gexian's glass Ruyi was accidentally dropped by Mo Xue, and then Xie Gexian easily found the pot of eighteen scholars, which was used as a belated birthday gift for Mrs. Xie to make up. It was precisely because it was sent late, so he deliberately asked people to delay the day of blooming to the autumn and winter, and he didn't want it to be an accident that fulfilled Mo Li. This flower is the best in the camellia, a total of eighteen flowers bloom on one plant, the color of the flowers is different, the red is all red, the purple is all purple, not only the color is delicate, and there is no half of the mixture.
As soon as this pot of flowers was delivered, it was very much loved by Mrs. Xie, and in the first few days, Mrs. Xie spent half a day around the pot of flowers. Xie Gexian was very surprised after hearing Ping'an's words: "I didn't think that Miss Mo still had such skills, could it be that the eighteen scholars were really moved back by her?" That pot of flowers should have just budded now, and the old lady just loved it so much. ”
Ping'an didn't know that before and after looking for this pot of flowers, he followed it personally, and even sent it to Mrs. Xie with Xie Gexian all the way.
In autumn and winter, it is the time when the chrysanthemums in the garden are blooming. Mo Li came out of Mrs. Xie's place, and followed the maid in Mrs. Xie's room to step on the way to the flower house with a bluestone horizontal paving and pebble-dotted flower path, and suddenly looked at two men with different styles, who were slowly walking from the front with the golden color of the garden on their backs. One is wearing a blue-gray leather jacket and is heroic; One was dressed in a brocade robe, and the wind god was like jade.
"Miss Mo, did you ask for this pot of flowers from your aunt?" After Xie Gexian walked over, he glanced back and forth at the delicate beauty in front of him, and then asked.
Mo Li chuckled and shook his head: "How can I afford such a precious product, but I just want to borrow it for a day." This is to ask Mrs. Xie to send this flower to the greenhouse, and let the flower farmers in your house help to postpone the best flowering period to the tenth day of the first month of the next month. ”
"Just borrow for one day?" Xie Gexian was puzzled.
Mo Li nodded, and asked Xie Gexian and Ah Sheng to accompany him to the flower room, and said, "I don't know much about the character of these flowers, but they are so expensive, and I don't dare to be negligent in the slightest." Fortunately, I just heard from Mrs. Xie that this flower was originally sent by Mr. Xie, so I would like to ask Mr. Xie on the tenth day of the first month of next month, can he deign to supervise me for half a day, so that he can take care of Mrs. Xie for a while, so as not to let me and other laymen smoke the fairy spirit of this flower. ”
Xie Gexian thought for a moment, and then smiled: "Miss Mo is so exquisite. ”
Not only did she borrow this pot of flowers today, but she even borrowed it from him, and she said it so grandiosely. It's just that I don't know what she will plan to do on the day of the winter banquet in Zhoufu.
Mo Li knew that his mind was seen through, and his face was not embarrassed, but he just said again: "In addition, I also want to trouble Gongzi Xie." ”
"I only now know that Miss Mo is really a businessman." Xie Gexian smiled lightly, "Say, what's the big deal with the girl?" ”
Now is not the time to be polite, seeing that the other party is not the slightest annoyed, so Mo Li spoke directly: "I heard that Gongzi Xie has some friendship with Master Yuan of Baihuayuan, so I want to ask Gongzi Xie to help me ask for a favor, let Master Yuan pick me up first, and I can pay double the price." ”
……
Accompanied by Xie Gexian, he invited Master Yuan of Baihuayuan out, and sent him to Xie Mansion with Xie Gexian to settle down, and after agreeing on the time, Mo Li went to say goodbye to Mrs. Xie again. After coming out of Xie Mansion for the second time, it was almost evening, and the wind was getting colder and colder, and Mo Li couldn't help but shiver when he went down the steps.
"Not far in front is the famous imperial dining house in Yongzhou, can the Mo Dongjia enjoy the face of the past for dinner today?" Before getting into the carriage, Xie Gexian suddenly asked with a smile, and deliberately changed his name. Mo Li was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then said apologetically: "Gongzi Xie is so dedicated to helping today, it stands to reason that I should have set up a banquet to invite Gongzi, but it is a little late today, and my grandmother is still looking forward to going back, so I can only owe Gongzi once, and I will set up a banquet to thank Gongzi another day, and I hope that Gongzi will not be strange." ”
Xie Gexian shook his head and smiled: "Miss Mo is too polite, but if Miss Mo really has this heart, there is no need to set up a banquet, just remember to owe Xie a certain meal, and when Xie asks for it back another day, the girl will cash it in with her heart." ”
This was a little strange to say, Mo Li was puzzled, but Xie Gexian had already gotten into the car, and lifted the curtain and said at the end: "It's getting colder and colder, let's go back early, Xie won't send more." ”
After seeing Xie Gexian's carriage drive out, Mo Li walked towards his carriage, but when he was about to step on the footstool, he suddenly sneezed. Ah Sheng glanced back, and Hongdou hurriedly said, "The girl has a cold."
Mo Li took out a handkerchief and gently covered her nose and shook her head: "No, get in the car, it's late." ”
"The girl will go back and eat more later, I drank two mouthfuls of the soup I made yesterday, and now all the meat that fell from the girl's body has grown on me, how good is this, after a while, the old lady and the lady will not be able to say that I will not serve the girl...... Girl, why did you close your eyes again, girl, listen to me, why did you close your eyes again......"
"I'm listening, why don't you grow a tall tongue lately?" Mo Li opened his eyes helplessly and sighed.
Hongdou immediately said: "I know this, the girl thinks I'm too talkative"
Mo Li lowered her eyes and smiled, this girl is really getting better and better.
Hongdou made persistent efforts: "Girl, ...... today"
Outside the car, Ah Sheng heard the words of the two girls in the carriage clearly, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
