Chapter 176: Persistence



Zhu Shi and Mrs. Mo glanced at each other, and paused for a while before chuckling and said, "Mother just thinks that you are too tired and tired every day, and it is not a matter for a girl's family to be like this all your life." There was no way before, but now the so-called family affairs have a good opportunity, and they can also help our family solve those bad things, and you can be easier in the future. So my mother thinks that we should reconsider this matter of recruiting a son-in-law. ”

If it was before, the daughter's family affairs were naturally decided by her, even if she cared about the girl's own thoughts, but she never asked for the girl's opinion for the mother. It's mostly a matter of telling before making a decision, even if you don't want to, at most try to appease it, which is the words of the matchmaker of the parents. But since Mo Li became the house, the Zhu family felt that she couldn't seem to make her own decisions about such things, and the decision on family matters had slowly been handed over to her daughter.

And Mrs. Mo's main concern in her heart was that Mo Li had made an oath in front of Mo Liujin Pavilion, and this matter was related to the family business, so she had to ask Mo Li's opinion.

Mo Li glanced at Zhu, then at Old Lady Mo, and then asked, "What is the opportunity?" ”

Old Madam Mo paused, and said directly: "Old Madam Xie told you a matchmaker, and the other party's conditions are very good." ”

"Old lady Xie, she" Mo Li was dumbfounded for a while before asking, "Who are you talking about?" Don't the other party know about our family's situation? Although it is a bit inappropriate for me to say this, Mrs. Xie is too much unclear that the other party may be the greedy and lustful person, even if his family has some power, but these people will be a disaster or a blessing to our family. ”

When Mrs. Mo heard her say this, she couldn't help but smile, and said, "You are wrong, the person Mrs. Xie told you is also from her Xie family, but it is not the young master in her house, but the child of her uncle." It is the sixth master of the Xie family, who was sent from Jingna to Yongzhou last year to serve as the city's secretary of the city, and he is already a fifth-grade official in his early twenties. I have seen Sixth Master Xie today, there is nothing to say about his character and appearance, and his demeanor is also polite, not at all like those official masters, and the old birthday star Xie also told me his life experience. As Mrs. Mo spoke, she roughly repeated Mrs. Xie's previous words.

After Mo Li heard that it was Xie Gexian, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a while.

How did Mrs. Xie pull up this line, and the man who was looking at the scenery and fog on his face, would he still have such a thing!?

"Grandma, not to mention whether that Lord Xie will agree, have you forgotten that in addition to vowing to recruit a son-in-law, I made a bet with the lobby uncle, if this son-in-law's oath is broken, our mulberry garden will not be recovered."

Old Mrs. Mo nodded: "How could I forget this, if you marry an ordinary family, not to mention that our mulberry garden cannot be recovered, it will be completely occupied by them, and even the annual rent will not be paid." But if you marry into the Xie family, this matter will naturally be different, although due to the gambling contract, most of our mulberry garden will not be recovered, but they can't occupy it, at most, the lease period will be renewed, and the rent can be increased at that time. After all, even if you take back the mulberry garden when you arrive, it will not be the same as renting it out, as for this shop, it was originally something left by your father, and it has nothing to do with the clan. And with the Xie family supporting you, the clan has no choice but to make a fuss in front of outsiders for such a little industry. ”

When Mrs. Mo and the Zhu family talked to Mo Li in detail, Mo Xue was naturally not allowed to stay in the house and eavesdrop, and just now Mrs. Mo asked Mother Liu to lead Mo Xue and Siniu outside to buy candy.

Liu's mother led the two children around the nearby street, and the four girls got a candy man, and Mo Xue greedily begged for two sugar men, and begged Liu's mother to buy a box of honey stack roses huā cakes, and then returned home beautifully. It's just that the two of them and Mother Liu just entered through the side door, and before they entered the second door, they saw Gu Jingzheng leading the small stone out of the front hall.

"Stone!" Mo Xue immediately waved the sugar man in her hand at the small stone, and her eyes smiled like a pair of crescents.

"Oh. The second girl went out to buy candy man. After Gu Jing looked at Liu's mother, he led the little stone over and said with a smile, "The academy is on holiday these days, so I will let this kid come here to help casually, and it just so happens that someone needs to run errands in the store." I led him to see the big girl just now, but I don't want the big girl to be in the front hall. ”

The old lady and the eldest girl haven't finished talking yet, Mother Liu thought to herself, and smiled at Gu Jing on her face: "You too, it's rare for a child to have a few days to play, you still have to bring it over to run errands, if you have time, you just don't play, wouldn't it be good to read more books, if the eldest girl knows, she may not be happy." ”

Mo Xue immediately said: "Let the stone come over and play with me and the four girls, stone, let me tell you, there is a big pond behind my house, and there are big fat fish, we can go fishing in the future."

Xiao Shi didn't lose at all Mo Xue's beautiful face with a slight smile: "Sister Xue'er will soon be a big girl, why are you still thinking about these things, if Sister Xue'er accidentally knocks around playing, the fourth girl should be blamed by the big girl." ”

When Si Niu heard this, she immediately nodded, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xiao Shi is only twelve years old, because of his childhood experience, he has been a servant in the Zhou Mansion for a few years, so his mind is much more mature than that of children of the same age. It's just that he lost on that face, because he was too handsome and beautiful, so he was quite a smart and sensible boy, in Mo Xue's eyes, he always unconsciously treated him as the same sex. Even many classmates in the academy often talked about him quietly in private, and some even secretly showed favor to him, these are clear to this sensitive and intelligent child, but he doesn't say anything.

"It's really Brother Shi who is sensible." Mother Liu nodded with a smile at Xiaoshi, and then said to Mo Xue with a tiger face, "Second girl, don't think about fishing and catching chickens, be careful, the eldest girl will know that she will ground you, and it will be useless for the old lady to intercede." ”

Mo Xue's big eyes rolled, and she took a bite of the candy man, then chewed and stopped talking.

Knowing that the old lady and Mo Li were still talking, it was naturally not good to take Mo Xue over, so Liu's mother said: "Okay, the sugar man also bought it, and the huā cake is also available, now go to the kitchen with Liu's mother to play for a while." ”

"I'll go see my mother, the rose huā cake is for my sister."

"Yo, the wife and the eldest girl are talking to the old lady at this time, and the girl can't look at anyone when she goes to the wife's yard."

"Then I'll go to Grandma's."

"The old lady discussed important matters with the wife and the eldest girl, and the second girl can't go over this time."

Mo Xue looked at Mother Liu with big eyes, as if she understood something, and then she thought about it and said, "Then Si Niu and I are here to bask in the sun and play with the stones." ”

Mother Liu hesitated for a moment, and Gu Jing on the side said: "Since the eldest girl didn't come out, there will be no one in the front hall, and no one will come over from the second gate, so it's okay to let Xiaoshi watch here for a while, and I will also look at these children in the account room." ”

"Okay, those two girls have to ride obediently, don't run around, I'll come back later." Mother Liu nodded when she heard this, and then nagged a few more words before turning around and walking inside, busy going by herself.

After Liu's mother left, Gu Jing also went to the account room, Mo Xue forced a sugar man into the hand of the small stone, and then pulled Si Niu to sit on the threshold of the second door with herself. The little stone stood on the steps outside the threshold, and the sunlight shone obliquely through the eaves and fell on the faces of the two little girls. One is still simple, at first glance it is a little girl with solid eyes, and the other is still like a snow ball, her eyes flickering and blinking from time to time, she looks like this, sometimes she looks stupid, sometimes she is unexpectedly sensible. For example, just now, after Mother Liu said that she couldn't go back to Mrs. Mo's side, if it was as usual, she would have to rush back to listen to it, but just now she didn't say anything. Just obediently obeyed.

"Are the four girls' injuries healed?" Xiaoshi looked at the four girls as if he was always reluctant, carefully licking the candy man in his hand, and then looking at the faint scar under her bangs, remembering that day when he saw the bloody appearance, he felt a little uncomfortable. Just cared.

As soon as Mo Xue heard this, she immediately stopped chirping in her mouth, raised a hand to remove the bangs on Siniu's forehead, took a closer look, and then said, "Sister said that there will be no scars, Siniu, don't be afraid." ”

Siniu shook her head: "I'm not afraid." And I'm ugly, it's okay to have a scar.

Mo Xue's eyes widened, staring at the four girls for a while, and then she turned her head to look at the small stone and said, "Who said that the four girls are ugly?" Four girls are not ugly, aren't they, stones! ”

Xiaoshi nodded: "And the fourth girl will look good when she grows up." ”

Said so by two such beautiful people. The fourth girl suddenly blushed, inexplicably, and her inferiority complex became heavier, so she didn't say anything, just lowered her head and secretly gnawed on her own sugar man. Mo Xue wanted to say something, but Xiao Shi was careful, so he changed the topic and talked about things in the academy, Mo Xue was really distracted, and the four girls were also relieved.

Just a moment later, Gu Jing came out of the account room and shouted a small stone, asking him to go to the warehouse to help Ah Sheng count the inventory. The little stone responded, and then returned the sugar man in his hand that didn't move at all to Mo Xue. Although Mo Xueren is small, he also knows the truth that the things he sent out are not taken back, even if it is a sugar man, so he shook his head resolutely. Xiaoshi had no choice but to hand the sugar man to Si Niu, who glanced at Mo Xue before happily taking it.

After the little stone ran away, Mo Xue sullenly finished gnawing the candy man in her hand, then turned her head to look at Si Niu and said, "Si Niu, do you think my sister will get married?" ”

The fourth girl was stunned for a moment, turned her face to look at Mo Xue and said, "Isn't the eldest girl going to recruit a son-in-law?" ”

Mo Xue blinked: "But Grandma Xie wants my sister to get married, I told my grandma." ”

"How did the second girl know?" "I heard what Grandma Xie's maid said, and now Grandma and Mother must be telling my sister about this." Mo Xue landed a little lost, entered the academy, and after coming into contact with those precocious little girls from the family for a period of time, there were some things in her heart that she knew a lot more clearly than before. She realized that it turned out to be small

After the girl becomes a big girl, she will have to get married, but her sister is different. In fact, Mo Xue couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, maybe it was because of her preconceived ideas, she just hoped that her sister was different from others.

Siniu thought about it, so she asked, "What Grandma Xie said, will the old lady listen to it?" ”

Mo Xue thought for a while and asked rhetorically, "Will you not listen?" ”

Si Niu thought for a while and grasped the point: "Will the big girl listen?" ”

Mo Xue was stunned, and then her eyes slowly bent into a pair and a half moon: "Yes, my sister doesn't have to listen to anyone, and Grandma Xie doesn't have to listen to anything." ”

After a while, Mrs. Mo finished speaking, and Mother Liu also went to Ermen, and then led Mo Xue and Siniu back.

After the two little girls patted their little buttocks and went in, Ah Sheng stood at the door of the warehouse and frowned slightly, he was going to find Gu Jing to reconcile the accounts just now, but as soon as he came out, he heard the two little girls talking about the topics he cared about very much. Originally, it was not easy for other people to hear clearly at this distance, but his hearing was much sharper than that of ordinary people, so as soon as he heard Mo Xue mention Mo Lif, his ears immediately stood up.

Not long after Mo Xue went back, it was time for lunch, and Mo Li accompanied her family to eat again. After the meal, because there was nothing to do in the store, she also felt a little tired, especially what she heard today, which was really unexpected, so she went back to the East Wing to rest for a while.

It wasn't until the afternoon, after the hour had passed, that she got up, straightened her body, and walked to the front yard.

But before she could reach the antechamber, she saw a man leaning lazily against the pillars of the antechamber, and the slanting sunlight pulled his tall figure into an extremely long shadow. Since he was not wearing a long robe, the short brown blouse of silk cotton fabric was tightly tied around his waist, and the hem of his trousers was tucked into soap boots, so that his legs were more slender and slender, and the shadow stretched by the sun suddenly extended to the soles of her feet.

Ah Sheng glanced at Mo Li quietly, then turned around and stood facing Mo Li. The afternoon sun shone from one side and fell on his face, and the contrast between light and shadow highlighted the resolute and clear lines on his face. A pair of dark eyes silently looked at the woman in front of her, her eyes were full of affection, Mo Li paused, and then walked over and said, "Why are you standing here, looking for me, something?" ”

Looking at the woman who was close at hand, in fact, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could pull her into his arms, and as long as he lowered his head, he could kiss her.

Whether she wants to or not, if he just wants to take her away, it won't be so difficult, but it's such a simple thing, as long as he faces her, he suddenly can't do it.

"Would you marry someone else?" He looked at her for a long time, until Mo Li was a little uncomfortable, and he suddenly spoke.

Why, people always ask her about getting married today!?

Mo Li faced his fixed light and opened his mouth slightly: "Why are you asking me this?" ”

"Will it?" He asked again firmly, with an extremely serious expression on his face. His eyes are unusually persistent.

After Mo Li looked at him for a while, she seemed to be a little unable to bear his eyes, and turned her head slightly, looking at the spring afternoon sun. When the wind blew the hem of her skirt, she said lightly: "I made an oath in front of my father that I would not break my vow to recruit a son-in-law, no matter who it is." ”

Under the warm sun, the smile on his face is like the warmest wind in summer, and his deep eyes instantly take away the brilliance of spring.

smiled so happily, although it was silent, it was so simple and brilliant that Mo Li was stunned.

"What are you happy about?" After a long time, Mo Li turned his face a little embarrassed, avoided his hot eyes, muttered a sentence in his mouth, and then turned around and entered the front hall.

Time flies quickly, and before you know it's summer.

On Mo Li's side, neither Mrs. Mo nor the Zhu family could force it, and Mrs. Xie heard that Mo Li's heart was so determined that she couldn't do it for a while, so she had to put the matter aside for the time being. And Xie Gexian knew it in his heart, so since Mrs. Xie heard about it, he didn't say anything, just smiled faintly.

In mid-April, after Gu Jing calculated the net profit of the store in the previous quarter and the dividends from the workshop, he took it to Mo Li with Jia Hei.

"By the way, as I told you last time, let you order twenty boxes of dim sum at Liu Ji Dim Sum Shop every month in the future, and give them to some old customers, can you decide?" After Mo Li finished reading the account book and closing it, he remembered what he had told before, so he asked Jia Hei.

Jia Hei nodded: "It's decided, I gave it to all the old customers yesterday, and they all read the love of the owner." Oh, I also ordered a few more boxes, and Second Master Mo and Master Xie also sent them over. ”

Mo Li's hand on the booklet paused slightly, since Mrs. Mo told her last month that Mrs. Xie was going to be a matchmaker, she had a faint feeling of guilt for Mrs. Xie. So much so that on the day of Xie Tianshi's marriage, she only prepared a generous gift for Mrs. Mo to send over, but did not come in person. And Xie Gexian, she has never seen it during this time, so she is relieved, otherwise she will be a little embarrassed.

"You go to Liu Ji and order two boxes of ghee snails to send to Xie Mansion" Mo Li said this, thought about it, smiled, and changed his words, "Forget it, I'll buy it myself and send it to you." ”

As she spoke, she handed the account book to Gu Jing, and then got up and prepared to go out, but as soon as she walked to the door, Jia Hei remembered something and hurriedly followed: "Last time, the owner asked me to inquire about the two shops on Tongfu Street, and I found out that it was indeed secretly ordered by Wang Dahu three years ago." I heard that after two years, the business of his two stores is gradually getting better, but now it is a problem to buy goods. ”

"His own family is engaged in the sales of horses, how can it become a problem to buy goods?"

"The proprietor doesn't know, that Wang Dahu is afraid of the inside, partial to his family's silver, his mother's uncle is staring at it, and the two shops are secretly purchased by him, so the source of this goods is not a little troublesome. Even if he asked an acquaintance for help, he didn't dare, for fear that someone would accidentally leak the news to his wife. ”

Mo Li thought about it for a while, then nodded: "I know, you go and inquire about what kind of horses are sold in his store, let's prepare here." ”

Jia Hei immediately said: "The owner wants to talk to him about business?" But I guess he won't be able to get the money out of his hand. ”

"Let's prepare it here, I don't need to look for him, he will come to the door by himself." Mo Li said and went out, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the store, he saw a carriage stop in front, and then Xie Gexian got out of the car.
