Chapter Seventy-Eight: Get Out
Beauty is ferocious
- Merry Christmas to all (__)——.
Mo Li's face turned white, and he hurriedly asked: "What happened was the boat carrying the materials of Dad and Wang Dahu?" ”
"It's not." Gu Jing shook his head, but his brows frowned slightly, "But I'm afraid that the ship that loaded the shopkeeper's material will also be affected, this morning, after the shopkeeper received the news, he went out to inquire about the news." ”
"Affected?" Mo Li was slightly stunned, not knowing what it meant, "What the hell is going on?" Isn't this a natural disaster but a man-made disaster? ”
Gu Jing bent down and moved the silk cloth placed at the bottom of the shelf one by one, Mo Li hurriedly stepped forward to take it and put it on it, Gu Jing straightened up and said: "The boat that had the accident seems to have collided with other ships, it seems that someone was injured, I heard that many ships were nearby at that time, and later attracted people from the government to dispatch, and then the government seized many merchant ships." Gu Jing said, while putting his hand behind his back and beating his waist, and then continued, "The shopkeeper's calculation time, it just so happened that our ship loaded with horses also passed there at about that time, and the shopkeeper was afraid that the cargo ship would also be seized, so he rushed to the dock early in the morning to inquire about the news, and now many merchants are inquiring about it." ”
Mo Li was stunned for a while, thought for a while, and then asked: "In this way, there was no accident on the ship where my father loaded the materials, and there were no casualties?" ”
After getting Gu Jing's confirmation, Mo Li temporarily put her mind at ease, but on the way back, she was always a little uneasy. It's August now, and my father's accident was at the end of October, and now there are more than two months to go, will anything happen then? Could the current incident of this cargo ship be a warning for the future?
Mo Li frowned, she changed some things, so that the things that followed changed, but will the final result also change? She thought of Xie Gexian, Han Sidao, and Xue Lin and Zhou Lingling.
She couldn't be sure about Xie Gexian, but Han Sidao, Xue Lin and Zhou Lingling knew best in her heart. Back then, Xue Lin and Zhou Lingling were both women in Han Sidao's backyard, but now this result has not changed, the only thing that has changed is that Zhou Lingling has been promoted from the original concubine to the main wife, but Xue Lin is still the same, and the time they have been together has been advanced.
Some things do change, but some things, no matter how many turns, end up going the same way
What the hell happened on the river? Back then, before she married Han Sidao, the news was too closed, and she didn't know anything about anything outside except for her own family. Do you want to go out and inquire, if something happened two days ago, in case it really has something to do with your father......
As Mo Li walked, she thought distractedly, not noticing that she had gone down the last step of steps, so when she raised her foot again, she suddenly stepped into the air, and then stepped on the hem of her skirt all of a sudden, and saw that she was about to trip, and a hand reached out next to her in time to grab her arm.
"Ah Sheng" After Mo Li stood firm, he turned his head to see the person who suddenly appeared, and was surprised again, "Why are you here?" ”
"This is the back of the store, I was in the hallway just now, you look like you don't give up, you don't see me." After Ah Sheng let go of her arm, he looked at her a little strangely, "What's wrong with you?" After coming out of Uncle Gu's eyes, his eyes were a little straight, and he didn't see anyone next to him. ”
"Oh, it's okay......" Mo Li noticed that he hadn't entered the second gate yet, and had been moving here just now.
"What's not to think of?" Ah Sheng looked at her for a while, thought about it, and said, "For the Xie family's business?" ”
Mo Li immediately asked: "The girl of the red bean is talking to you again?" ”
Looking at her slightly stunned appearance, Ah Sheng was slightly stunned, and then suddenly smiled: "No, there were many people sitting in the outer hall of Xie Mansion that day, and I also heard some words, and then I went out in the past two days, and I happened to meet the fifth young master Xie and his sixth uncle." ”
Mo Li glanced at him a little strangely: "What did they tell you?" ”
Ah Sheng's dark eyes were a little careless: "That Gongzi Xie just said hello to me, it was the Fifth Young Master Xie who chatted casually with Gongzi Xie, and I heard it." ”
After listening to this, Mo Li didn't say anything, just withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes slightly in thought.
The autumn breeze blew and slightly lifted the hem of her skirt, and a white cloud streamed in the blue sky, and the faint shadow cast by the white clouds covered the eaves and spread to her. The persimmon tree on the courtyard wall has begun to turn yellow, and the branches have also borne green fruits, and the ground that has just been swept has fallen a few semi-yellow leaves. A withered yellow leaf drifted in the wind, swirled, and came to her feet.
He stood two steps away from her, looking at her quietly, obviously so tall and straight, like a person full of strength, but at this moment, he looked strangely quiet and obedient.
"You-" Mo Li thought for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Ah Sheng, but when he was about to speak, he was stunned by his eyes. His eyes were still pure, and he didn't dodge the gaze that met hers, but it was so innocent that she couldn't see what was inside. Now she is not really the kind of woman in the boudoir who is completely ignorant of amorous feelings, and she can still know a little bit about what is hidden in the eyes of men when they look at her. But the person in front of him, when he looks at her, is focused and easy to misunderstand, but his eyes are not as amazing as when ordinary men first see her, or when they secretly look at her, they imply feelings and desires.
"What are you looking at?" Mo Li was not annoyed, but she couldn't help frowning when he looked at her so directly.
Ah Sheng smiled slightly, and then raised his eyes to look at Tiandao: "You are standing here, the sun is just hitting your hair, there are some reflections, making you look as if your body is glowing, it is so beautiful, even the clouds can't cover it." ”
Mo Li was dumbfounded, he just said what he thought like this, which made her not know how to react for a while.
"What did you just want to say?" Ah Sheng then asked.
"Oh, I want to go out to meet Li Yue'er for a while, I said before that I would take the time to meet her, but I haven't had the chance, are you free today?"
Ah Sheng thought for a while and said: "The work in the shopkeeper's store has not been very busy recently, I have more time in the afternoon, I will go to Li Yue'er first and say it later, if she is okay over there, can she go out in the afternoon?" ”
"Okay, please make this trip." Mo Li nodded, but Ah Sheng smiled, his dark eyes shining at her, as if he was begging for a reward.
Mo Li was silent for a while, immediately came to his senses, and then said helplessly: "I'll make beef noodles for you another day." ”
Ah Sheng grinned: "I'll go and get busy first, and I'll tell you when there is news." ”
He has nothing else to pursue except food? Mo Li looked at Ah Sheng's back and muttered in his heart, before retracting his gaze and walking in.
At the same time, inside the vermilion gate with two stone lions standing on both sides of Liuyin Hutong, Old Lady Mo San sat in his hall, two fingers knocking on the black lacquered rosewood coffee table. In the hall where the embroidery was spread, the sound of knocking seemed to hit the heart, and Han Sidao stood there without saying a word, his face was calm, and there was a hint of gloom in his lowered eyes. After a long time, Master Mo San raised his eyes and looked at the person standing in front of him, and opened his mouth to ask: "The old lady knows that you are married to the Zhou family, and I am happy for you, but Mo Liujin is there, what are you going to do?" ”
"Now that the second master has faced us head-on, although the old lady didn't say anything, he has been watching it coldly." Han Sidao said unhurriedly, "And the eldest master's side is not very stable, and now many people in the clan are waiting for you to make a big move, and then see the opportunity to take the position." The second master's last batch of raw silk was cut off by several loyal stewards, which is a big blow to the second master, so I think it's best for the third master to stabilize it first, don't be too anxious to make a move, so as not to tell the truth. Besides, the mulberry garden in Mo Liujin's hand is now rented to the eldest master, and it is estimated that the eldest lord has been guarding against us. ”
"If you don't have the ability to get that mulberry garden, just say it as soon as possible, I have other arrangements." Master Mo San sneered, and then said, "Mo Liujin's daughter is not small, although the Xie family's family affairs have been disturbed by you this time, but if there is a next time, then the matter will be more troublesome than now." ”
An unnatural look flashed on Han Sidao's face, and Master Mo San stood up, walked to his side, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Although you messed up the matter of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau last time, since those blue cloths can be taken care of now, forget about the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau." Oh, you're going to get married now, and the row of houses behind Liuyin Hutong is right next to your house, and those are my congratulatory gifts to you. As for Zhou Shoubei, one day you invite him to my house, I will invite him to a banquet, and those businessmen will also invite him over, hehehe......"
"How dare I accept such a generous gift from the third master"
"What's that, as long as you do things for me well, there will be your benefits in the future." Master Mo San waved his hand generously, and then said, "Oh, by the way, I heard that something happened on the river two days ago, you go and inquire about what's going on." And I heard that Mo Liujin seems to be planning to buy goods from the south recently, you can inquire when you arrive, I guess he can't get it alone, after all, this road can't let him go smoothly. ”
After Han Sidao withdrew in response, he slowly put away the look on his face, and then there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
The row of houses behind Liuyin Hutong was grabbed by him for Master Mo San back then, and he originally said that he would share half a point with him, but he didn't even give him a piece of tile. Now that place is almost dead, there is no oil and water to be fished, and there are many troubles involved, so this is thrown to him like garbage, what a great kindness, one day, he will move here
At noon, after Mo Liujin came back, he still looked worried, and when he went out in the morning, he didn't find out anything specific, only knew that the ship loaded with the material should not be seized, it seemed that the ship had not yet arrived, but he couldn't rest assured in his heart. So at noon, when he was eating, Lai Bao came over and said that Wang Dahu seemed to have heard some news, and asked him to go over to discuss.
