Chapter 32: Simplicity
On the second day, Li Yue'er sent the news to Mo Li through Ah Sheng, saying that Chen businessmen from Dingzhou would come to the door to find Mo Shopkeeper in these two days, but she could not guarantee whether the deal could be negotiated, and at the same time she also handed over a bag of mixed pollen and an earring to Ah Sheng.
Mo Li took the bag of pollen and groaned for a long time, and Hongdou also looked at his girl for a long time, and then whispered: "Girl, you, what are you going to do?" In the past two days, Mo Li also told her about Li Yue'er, Mrs. Yang and Han Sidao, so she knew what this bag of pollen was for.
Hongdou is a girl with solid eyes, and she is only a half-old child, and she has been bent on her own girl, so she didn't think about how Mo Li knew about the twists and turns here. Besides, the facts of that day are also in front of her, so now she not only treats Ah Sheng as her own person, but also takes Mo Li's matter as her own and is anxious.
"I'm going to Asna." Mo Li stood up as she spoke.
Hongdou hurriedly grabbed her and said: "Girl, it's not right for you to go over like this, whether it's at home, or I'll go for the girl, the girl told me what she wanted to explain to him, and I will tell him word for word." ”
"I always let you run like this, Xue Linna has already paid attention, she has always probed her brain these days, and she will come here if she has nothing to do." Mo Li glanced out the door as she spoke, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, "Now I can't spare my hand, you take a needle and thread to her to ask her for advice, watch her, I'll be back in a while." ”
Hongdou is still not at ease: "But the girl just went to Ah Shengna......"
"It's just a matter of saying a few words to my own guy, and it's not going to be dark and dark, even if it's seen. Besides, at noon, everyone will mostly rest in the house, I am just annoyed by her staring at her all the time, you go, just watch her carefully. Mo Li said and picked up the bag of pollen and the earring and went out.
……
Ah Sheng was helping out at the utility house at this time, he had been doing his work for more than an hour, and now it was the time when the sun was at its strongest, and the dust from the dirt bricks flew all over his face, and the clothes behind him were already soaked, so he simply took off his shirt. Mo Liujin came over to take a look, and hurriedly said: "This is not a rush job, Ah Sheng, you go to rest first, this day is too poisonous, I will find two short-term workers to come over to help you work in the afternoon." ”
Mo Li looked in from the small door, looked at his father's back from a distance, hesitated for a moment, just as Ah Sheng turned around, and saw Mo Li behind Mo Liujin at a glance. Mo Li also glanced at him, then turned around and walked to the corner to the side, where he waited.
"Then I'll go and rest first, and the shopkeeper will go back to the house, I'll get dizzy after standing in this sun for a long time." Ah Sheng wiped his face with a sweat towel, and then took off his shirt that was hanging aside.
Mo Liujin looked at his own place, with deep worry in his eyes, then nodded, looked at Ah Sheng and sighed: "Thank you for your hard work, this shouldn't be your job, I will ask Aunt Gu to bring you herbal tea to relieve the heat later." ”
Ah Sheng hurriedly said: "No, I still have a big pot of herbal tea, which was sent just now." ”
Mo Liujin sighed again, raised his hand and patted Ah Sheng's sturdy shoulder, and then turned around and staggered away. Mo Li watched his father's somewhat clumsy figure walk past not far from him, and his heart sank slightly. It wasn't until Mo Liujin walked out of the small door that she withdrew her gaze and looked at the shadow cast by the magnolia tree nearby, and said in her heart: Dad, I will keep the house, and no one can take away a single grass or tree from our house.
"Big girl." Not long after Mo Liujin went out, Ah Sheng turned to this side, his face had been wiped clean, and there were still droplets of water hanging on the tips of his hair. However, his shirt was just casually worn over his body, the sleeves rolled up to his arms, and the straps around his waist were loosely tied, revealing a large sturdy honey-colored chest. Look at this, if Mo Li hadn't come over, he would have been shirtless all the time.
Mo Li came back to his senses and looked at him, Ah Sheng looked at the sun, and said, "Come into my house and say, Noble is in the shop." ”
It's really hot outside, and it's leaning against the small door, and the people who come in and out only pay a little attention, and they can see two people standing here, Mo Li hesitated for a moment and nodded.
This is the first time I have entered the room of the self-planner, and I saw that the furnishings inside were simple and clear at a glance. The mattresses and quilts were very plain, and there were hardly any patterns to be seen, and even the only chair in the room was angular, made of logs, not painted, no patterns, and no polished rounded corners.
"Sit." Ah Sheng moved the square chair to Mo Li, and then walked to the square table that was also a log, picked up the yellow, orange and orange round-bellied copper kettle and poured himself a big bowl of herbal tea. He wiped his mouth casually and poured another bowl of tea: "Why don't you sit?" Do you want a bowl too? But I don't have any unused cups. ”
"No, you drink." Mo Li shook his head, then withdrew his gaze and carefully sat down on the chair.
Ah Sheng drank three bowls of tea before putting the big porcelain bowl aside, then walked to the bedside, picked up a clean cotton handkerchief, wiped her wet hair, looked at her and said, "Think about how to send things to the Zhou Garrison Mansion?" ”
"Hmm." Mo Li lowered his eyes, took out the bag of pollen and the earring from his sleeve and said, "On the fifteenth and sixteenth days of every month, Zhou Shoubei basically goes out to meet friends at Qinyun Tea House or Qianli Xiang Restaurant, and he will bring two or three small servants with him. When you go to find a little boy named Hoe Yao, you say that you are Xiao Shi's cousin, and ask him to pass on a message to Xiao Shi, and now that you have news of his sister, let him come out to see you, but you are also a little short of money at the moment. ”
"Under the banner of seeking profit, it is not easy for people to suspect anything." Ah Sheng smiled, shook off the veil, walked to the window, and pushed the screen a little more so that the wind could blow in more easily.
After Mo Li finished speaking, he stood up and put the bag of pollen and earrings on the table: "After the little stone comes out, you will give him these two things and tell him how to use them, as for whether to do it, it is up to him." ”
Ah Sheng walked up to her and picked up the two things and nodded: "It's not a few days before the fifteenth." ”
Mo Li glanced at him and said again: "As for my reward for you, I'll settle it for you at the end of the month?" ”
Ah Sheng nodded casually, didn't say anything, turned around and took out a blue handkerchief from his cabinet to wrap the two things, and then threw them into the cabinet again, and then said, "Is there anything else besides this?" ”
Mo Li shook his head, but hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask: "You don't seem to care how much silver I pay you." ”
Ah Sheng raised his eyes at her and raised an eyebrow. Mo Li was silent for a while, and then asked, "I wanted to ask you for a long time, why do you want to help me so much?" In fact, if I told you that day that I wanted to repay the favor, you could completely refuse, and even if you wanted to pay it back, it was enough now, why did you help me so wholeheartedly? ”
She knew that Ah Sheng and Han Sidao were different, she didn't see the wrong person, and she also understood the truth that suspicious people don't need to be suspicious, but everything in the past still existed in a thorn in her heart, like a nightmare that pricked her and pestered her all the time.
Trust, once betrayed, is much more difficult to pay than imagined.
"Taste." Ah Sheng really thought about it seriously for a while, and then said these two words.
Mo Li was stunned: "What? ”
A gust of wind slipped in through the screen window, blowing the bangs on his forehead a little messy, and slightly blocking his eyes. Ah Sheng stretched out his five fingers and combed the long bangs to the back of his head at will, revealing a broad forehead and thick black eyebrows, and then he held his arm with one hand, and touched his chin with the other hand to look at Mo Li and said, "Well, you ask that...... Actually, I don't know, I've always done things by feeling, probably because you have a smell that makes me feel comfortable. Ah Sheng lowered his eyes and thought about it seriously, then continued, "Maybe you can make a flavor that I like." ”
"......" Mo Li stood there a little dumbfounded and looked at him, as if he had met this person for the first time. It could be seen that he was not lying, and he was definitely not saying anything polite, but she never thought it would be such a reason. For some reason, sometimes she thinks this person is very simple, and sometimes she thinks he is deeply hidden.
"I remember the first time I saw you, you handed me a bowl of very thick porridge, and at that time, I hadn't eaten so well for many days." Ah Shengluo recalled for a moment and said again.
"Then you will be a disaster victim, and you have a high fever for many days, so naturally you haven't eaten enough for many days."
"Yes." Ah Sheng nodded, then pondered for a while, then looked at Mo Li and said, "Forget the silver, next time you make me beef patties, Aunt Gu has made it once before, the taste is average, I want to eat what you made, how about it?" ”
Look at the way he said it, and his eyes at this moment were so innocent that he didn't look like an adult man at all. Mo Li looked at him a little stunned, and said for a long time: "Okay, in the future, you can send a message to you if you want to eat, and I will find a chance to cook it for you." ”
Ah Sheng's eyes were a little obvious smile, and under the dark eyes, the long eyelashes blinked slightly. Mo Li frowned slightly, and he added: "As for the small ones or something, you can keep them for yourself if you like them, that thing can't fill me at all." ”
That was a small point that she had put a lot of effort into making, Mo Li sighed helplessly, nodded, and turned to leave.
……
On the third day, Han Sidao had already prepared the silver, and was about to go to Mo Liujin to pull goods tomorrow, but suddenly heard a piece of news that shocked him! Someone offered a higher price than him, intending to wrap up the batch of unsalable inferior fabrics in Mo Liujin's hand.
"Are you sure?" Han Sidao looked at Zhang Yimao with a frown, "Isn't it the news that Shopkeeper Mo deliberately released by himself?" ”
"It's really not, Han Ye, the shopkeeper of Mo, doesn't know how he can play such methods." Zhang Yimao hurriedly shook his head, then looked at Han Sidao and asked, "What are you going to do?" To raise the price? Or should I inquire a little more? ”
