Chapter 157: Cold Spring

When Mo Li hurried to the Shixing workshop, he heard that Mo Er Ye had already gone out, and there was a panic in the workshop at this time, and Mo Yuan was hurriedly following the words that Mo Er had just left behind to explain the matters to the stewards, so he didn't care about talking to Mo Li for a while.

"The whole warehouse is sealed? Do you know where Second Master Mo has gone? Fortunately, Mo Dye has been here today, Mo Yuan couldn't pull away for the time being, so she asked Mo Dye to call over and ask.

"The treasury has been sealed, and the attitude of the official is very tough, and there was almost no accident at that time." After Mo Ran came in, there was obvious uneasiness on his face, and it was not surprising to see Mo Li rushing over so quickly, he just nodded, and said, "I wasn't there when Master Mo went out, I don't know where I went, but I heard Mo Yuan say that it seems that I was looking for Master Mo San." ”

"It's true that I'm going to find my third uncle." As soon as the ink dyeing words fell, Mo Yuan walked in, and his face, which was usually very wooden, was also a little uneasy. He was only a young man in his early twenties, and although he had been in and out of his own workshop since he was a child, he was an introvert and had always been interested in weaving, so he had no clue about dealing with such things.

After Mo Li called out to his cousin, he frowned slightly and asked, "Does the second cousin think that the third cousin is the ghost of this matter today?" ”

"Dad, that's what he should think, it's just ......" Mo Yuan said, thought about it, and sighed, "This matter was handled by the government." ”

Mo Li frowned, then stood up, asked Mo Yuan to lead her to the treasury to have a look, and asked him to tell her what had just happened in detail. As Mo Yuan walked, he recounted what happened before, and then suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked, "Cousin Mo Li, did something happen too?" ”

"Well, all the eighteen satins in the store were forced off the shelves." Mo Li looked at the two official seals that were crossed and pasted on the door of the warehouse, and paused for a while before continuing, "And this seems to be just the beginning......

Is it really Master Mo San's ghost? Although he has a lot of ways up and down, such a big move directly asked the people from the government to come and seal it, which always made her feel that this kind of ability was too unexpected. Even if he really committed a crime, this kind of thing would not have caused such a big move, at most, all the yellow silk satin would be confiscated, and then some silver would be fined. There was no wind at all before, and now he suddenly came over and sealed the entire warehouse.

In this place of Yongzhou, there are many things that do not conform to the rules. For example, a businessman is not allowed to wear silk; Those who are concubines are not allowed to wear red; Those who are officials are not allowed to haunt the smoke street and willow lane; How many people can really abide by these self-handed rules such as a man who has no children at forty can take a concubine? The people don't sue the officials and don't hold them accountable, everyone has always turned a blind eye, and even if someone sues, it's all a big thing and a small thing.

This is ...... If it is really the handiwork of Master Mo San, it is really ruthless, and he will be rectified to death.

"How many eighteen people are there in the library, and what are you busy with in the workshop these days?" Mo Li was silent for a while, and then asked again.

"There are more than 1,000 horses, and they are basically rushing to do this work these days." Mo Yuan said, then frowned and said, "Just now, after those officials came over, they forcibly ordered the work to stop, and suddenly like this, I am afraid that those hundreds of satin horses are going to be destroyed today!" ”

Mo Li was stunned, then turned his head and said a little angrily: "How can Cousin Yuan be so real, this matter has not been decided, but the warehouse has been sealed, and the work in the workshop will really stop if they let them stop!" A few hundred horses of satin is not a small number, why don't you hurry up and find a few clever skilled workers to keep an eye on, anyway, there are no officials and officials in this workshop, as long as the movement is not too big, who cares so much. ”

Mo Yuan was stunned: "This ......"

Mo Li looked at his honest cousin, and said helplessly: "Didn't the second cousin explain this to you just now?" ”。

"Dad was in a hurry, and he only hurriedly explained a few words, but he didn't talk about this." Mo Yuan said in a daze, and glanced at Mo Ran. Mo Ran turned to Mo Li and said, "Don't worry, girl, the people I have in charge of continue to work." She said and said to Mo Yuan, "Master Mo probably means this as a girl, but I may not have thought of explaining this before, taking advantage of the fact that there are few people now, you can go and explain to all the stewards." ”

"You're right, I'll do it." Mo Yuan thought about his father's temper, and then thought about those materials, and nodded. He was a little dazed by this incident just now, and he had a natural fear of officials in his heart, so whatever people said, he subconsciously followed what to do.

After Mo Yuan hurriedly left, Mo Li pressed his swollen forehead, and then asked Mo Dye again: "During this time, is there any preparation for the production of yarn in the workshop?" ”。

"It started yesterday, but it's just ......," Mo Dye sighed lightly, "It's just that I have to put it down now, and Master Mo didn't really like the yarn material very much, and I don't know if this matter can survive." Although she is just an ordinary weaver and dyer, after all, she has been in contact with some officialdom, so she can smell the simplicity of this matter, so her mood is extremely heavy.

Mo Li's hands on the railing slowly clenched, and then glanced at Mo Dye: "Do you still have contact with the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau?" Can you go there and ask? ”

Mo Ran nodded and said in a low voice, "I'll go out and have a look in the afternoon." ”

Mo Li lowered his eyes, frowned and thought for a while, then said: "In the past few days, you have stayed in this workshop to help, if there is anything missing, I will let the red beans be sent to you in a while." ”

The two women of the same grade glanced at each other and nodded tacitly.

It's already spring in February, but the weather is still cold and the sun is still dim. The snow that began to melt fell down the rain line of the eaves, and the bitter chill spread in all directions as the drops of snow flew away.

Mo Li waited in the workshop for nearly an hour before finally waiting for the second master Mo with a black face to come back from outside. The incident was not unexpected by her, and Master Mo San naturally denied that the matter had anything to do with him. Looking at Second Master Mo's angry and red face, Mo Li didn't have to guess to imagine that Second Master Mo must have suffered a lot of cynicism this time.

After Second Master Mo walked around the hall by himself and scolded angrily for a full quarter of an hour, Mo Li calmly asked: "Second Cousin, I want to ask about something, don't be angry when you hear it." ”

"Say." Second Master Mo glanced at her as if he had just noticed Mo Li, and then finally stopped and sat down opposite her.

"That yellow silk satin, when the second cousin dyed it, did he use the yellow cocoon?"

"Yes." As he spoke, Master Mo slapped his hand on the coffee table, raising his eyebrows and glaring angrily, "Otherwise, why would the cost be so high, and the color would be so uniform and full, this batch of satin will focus on color dyeing." It's just that I'm not an idiot, how can I not know those stinky rules, I just use less than 20% of the total amount! ”

Mo Li sighed in his heart, although he didn't know before, he probably guessed the answer. It must have touched on this point that people were caught and made a fuss. And as long as the other party has a heart, a relationship, and money, he can not only make a fuss, but also make a big fuss.

After coming out of the Shixing workshop, Mo Li did not go back directly, but went straight to the Changchun Courtyard in the Jiukongqiao District.

"Lord Shi hasn't been here for a while, but the others are common these days."

"You have to find a way to inquire about how this matter will be judged and who is the key."

"I know, I'll pass it on to you as soon as I get news."

"Xiao Shi is learning very well in Xie Mansion Academy now."

“…… Thank you! ”

After leaving the Jiukongqiao District, Mo Li went to the city again, but the news she got made her sigh in her heart, Xie Gexian estimated that it would take three or four days to come back. I wanted to go to Xie Mansion to have a look, but I hesitated for a while and gave up, and asked Ah Sheng to go to Baihuayuan. But after passing, I heard that Yuan Yangyu went out to visit relatives and friends, and he may not be able to return until tomorrow or tomorrow.

The timing was too bad, Mo Li sat in the car frowning and sighed softly.

Hongdou was puzzled: "Girl, why didn't you go to Xie's house just now and beg Mrs. Xie for directions?" ”

Mo Li said softly: "What happened now is the Shixing Workshop, not the Yunshang Attic, and those officials are doing errands with official documents, not acting arbitrarily." ”

Hongdou thought for a while, then nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Mo Li didn't make a sound, just clasped his hands together, and sat in the car with a calm face, swaying slightly with the vibration of the carriage.

On the second day, Yunshang Pavilion opened as usual, and after the slightly familiar guests came in, they suddenly found that today's Yunshang Pavilion was a little different from the past. The eighteen gentlemen who had a whole shelf on weekdays were all replaced with various colored yarns today, and even the eighteen gentlemen from Master Yuan's hand on the counter were gone!

I was puzzled and hurriedly asked, but the answer I got was that there were all customers who had set it and were currently out of stock.

Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining through the clouds, the snow on the roof is melting faster, and as the ticking sound becomes more frequent, the air is getting colder and colder, and even the sun is not warm.

At the end of the hour, yesterday's official came over again, and even though Mo Li was ready, he was still shocked in his heart.

Including yesterday's withdrawal, a total of 583 horses and 18 men and satins were counted and registered in the warehouse.

"If you return to the Shixing workshop, Mo Dongjia remember to go to the yamen to register, but remember to do it as soon as possible."

Mo Li thought about it, and asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask the official, what would happen if these satins were not returned to the fashionable workshop?" ”

The official glanced at her: "It's better for the Mo Dong family not to do such stupid things and get into trouble for a few satins." ”

Mo Li nodded silently, and inquired a few more words, but she didn't ask for any useful news, she sighed in her heart, and had to send people out politely.

In the storehouse, there were five hundred silks that had already been sold, but now she must not be able to deliver them, but the silver, which she had spent directly from Bayan, on the thousands of horses of yarn.

"Jia Hei, did Bayan say when he would come and collect satin?". After sending off the official errand, Mo Li asked Jia Hei.

"It's not decided, just a few days." Jia Hei glanced at Ah Sheng as he spoke, "Brother, now we can't take out more than 8,000 taels of silver in our account, you can accompany me for a while." ”

Ah Sheng nodded: "Let's go now, he should have gotten up." ”

It's just that when Jia Hei was about to go out, he met several shopkeepers who hurried over to inquire about the news, and some of them directly wanted to open their mouths to return the goods. Seeing that Jia Hei was too busy to take a break, Ah Sheng asked him to stay, and he just went over and said it alone.

Bayan was unexpectedly easy to speak, and after understanding the situation roughly, he said unappreciatively: "I will stay here in Yongzhou for three or four days, if this matter is not good on the day I leave, even if those yarns are a congratulatory gift from me in advance, don't refuse, it's just a trivial matter." ”

Ah Sheng didn't say anything, only said: "I'll send you on the day you leave." ”

Bayan smiled and patted Ah Sheng's shoulder: "If you are really in trouble, just say it, don't forget that there are still a few brothers." ”

Ah Sheng smiled faintly, his heart was worried about Mo Li's side, and he was about to leave, but after Bayan sent him out, he said again: "When will you go back and see, they all miss you a lot." ”

Ah Sheng grinned, nothing, turned around and went down the steps, and then raised his hand and waved it casually, and walked forward. Bayan looked at the tall and straight back, and suddenly remembered the fierce, stubborn, alert and silent young man who was like a wolf cub back then, with the demeanor of one person, one horse and one knife, and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic in his heart.

"Boss, let's talk to Second Master Mo, this matter can't drag us to death." Even coaxing and deceiving, after it was easy to send those guys away, Jia Hei's black face was like wiping a layer of white powder, only to see him take the tea handed over by the red beans, and after drinking it in one go, he continued, "There are nearly 500 satin horses in those few houses just now, and there are two more than two that also looked for me yesterday, and there are about 300 horses over there, we can't afford this amount!" ”

Mo Li shook his head: "Not to mention whether Second Master Mo is willing or not, I estimate that he can't take out so much silver now, and when we didn't cooperate with him before, he already owed Yinzhuang a lot of silver." During this time, even if there is any money, it will be filled in the pit early, and the rest will be spent on raw materials and wages. ”

"Even if that's the case, we can't carry it for him, the main thing is that we really can't resist it."

Gu Jing also said that the money in the account is very tight now, and the news spreads quickly, if you don't make a decision early, the impact will get worse and worse. Jia Hei frowned, walked around the hall a little anxiously, and then suddenly said self-deprecatingly: "This news is really fast, and I was racking my brains before thinking about how to deal with those impostors, but as soon as this matter came out, they all changed their names." I went around yesterday, hey, what are the eighteen colored satin, eighteen precious satin, eighteen colored satin, but there are no eighteen celebrities! ”

Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "So, they still sell it?" ”

"That's right, it's sold with great fanfare." Jia Hei nodded.

Hongdou said to Mo Li with some excitement: "So, then let's just change our name." ”

Mo Li said helplessly: "People didn't come for this name, they came directly for Second Master Mo, or at the same time, they came to me." ”

Jia Hei asked, "Boss, what are you planning in your heart?" When the judgment is constantly suffering, it is chaotic! ”

Mo Li was silent for a while before looking at them and said, "Now I have the dry shares of the Shixing Workshop in my hand, and it is impossible to completely clear it, his side is damaged, and we can't get better." And we have to figure it out first, who are we going to sue with about this? Master Mo San said that this matter had nothing to do with him, and the tone revealed by the official messenger did not mention Master Mo San's side at all, but it was impossible for the official government to get along with us in this matter. ”

Gu Jing thought about it for a while, and then said, "Except for Master Mo San's side, we don't get in the way of anyone." ”

Jia Hei shook his head: "Uncle Gu, you forgot, peers are enemies." During this time, the business in our store is so good, I really can't say which one is secretly making trouble, but they can make the government act so vigorously, and they didn't see through the wind before, I'm afraid that they have been preparing for a long time, except for the words of Master Mo San, who else can do this? ”

That day, the discussion was fruitless, Mo Li went to the Shixing workshop again, and the news he got was that Master Mo San still denied that he had nothing to do with the matter. Second Master Mo and Third Master Mo almost fought in front of the Third Old Lady, and then Second Master Mo was blasted out, and the Third Old Master also said that he didn't want to care about this matter, if Second Master Mo couldn't keep the workshop, don't go back to see him in the future.

And after this incident broke out, the whole clan heard about it, and later someone inquired about the government's intention to be cross-minded and to rectify it. Two of them, who each held a dry share of Shixing Workshop in their hands, hurriedly ran to the door to ask for a withdrawal of shares, and asked Mo Er to return the money to them immediately.

So the workshop was turned upside down again, and chickens flew and dogs jumped.

And that night, Li Yue'er also sent a message, asking Mo Li to get rid of it as soon as possible, return the goods when they should return them, and withdraw the shares when they should withdraw the shares, so the matter alarmed the people above, not just the yamen.

However, this matter of getting rid of it is said lightly, but how can it be done so simply.

Alarmed the people above? Can such a trivial matter still alarm the above? Who is it above?

That night, Mo Li once again took out the beautiful satin fan and sat at the table and pondered for a long time, until the candle flame was about to go out, and then went to bed to rest.

On the third day, Mrs. Mo and the Zhu family also vaguely heard some news, and they all wanted to ask Mo Li, but Mo Li only vaguely told them not to worry, and then went to the front hall.

And she just walked into the store, and before she could say a few words to Jia Hei and Ah Sheng, she saw Han Sidao walking in from outside.

"Why did Master Han come here so early this morning?" After the red bean brought the tea, Mo Li glanced at him a little lightly, and said, "Han Ye also heard about the eighteen satins?" ”

"Han heard about it when he came back last night." Han Sidao nodded, looked at Mo Lidao, "Miss Mo let it go quickly, the second master has no power to return to the sky." If the girl feels that the supply of goods will be difficult in the future, she will try to be as busy as possible where she can help. ”
