"You're going out?" After Xue Lin approached, Mo Li glanced at her, and saw that she had obviously been carefully cleaned up, with a light fat powder on her face, and the incense on her clothes was a little heavier than usual.

"Well, go back and see my father and eldest brother, and I'll come back tomorrow." Xue Lin glanced at Mo Li as she spoke, then looked at Ah Sheng, and then smiled, "Do cousins and Ah Sheng have anything to say?" ”

Mo Li shook his head: "No, you can go, say hello to my uncle and cousin on my behalf." ”

Xue Lin nodded, and then walked to the carriage, glanced at Ah Sheng on the carriage, and saw that Ah Sheng didn't mean to come down to get a small stool for her, the maid Hui'er next to her hurriedly stepped forward to bring the small stool in the car, bent down and rested at Xue Lin's feet and said, "Girl, please." ”

Xue Lin held Na Hui'er with one hand, gently lifted her skirt with the other, and stepped on the small stool to get into the car. Mo Li watched thoughtfully from the side, Xue Lin should have started to contact Han Sidao at this time, and it was estimated that he was getting closer and closer through Xue Cai's relationship. No wonder Han Sidao knew everything about her and her family back then, but she didn't think much about it at that time, and only naively regarded this as a relationship that the man was very concerned about herself.

It's just Xue Lin...... has done so much for Han Sidao, but he only got the position of a concubine, and he is below her, so the jealousy in his heart is accumulating more and more. However, her cousin is also patient enough, and in order to be foolproof, she endured it for several years with a smile on her face before attacking her!

After Xue Lin said goodbye to Mo Li, he said to Ah Shengna, "You can go." ”

Ah Sheng still had that indifferent expression on his face, he turned his head to look at Mo Li, and the corners of his mouth smiled habitually, and then lazily flicked his whip and drove the carriage to the side door.

……

More than half an hour later, Ah Sheng's carriage stopped in front of the alley in front of Xue Lin's house, Xue Lin opened the curtain and looked out, and asked Hui'er to get out of the car first, and then she took Hui'er's hand and stepped on the small stool that had been placed for her and got out of the car.

After Ah Sheng saw that they all went down, he was about to whip again, but Xue Lin didn't want Xue Lin to take two steps forward to stop him. Ah Sheng stopped what he was doing, turned his head and looked at Xue Lin inquiringly, Xue Lin smiled lightly: "I'm sorry for you to run away today, thank you." ”

Ah Sheng nodded indifferently, then withdrew his gaze and pulled the reins, but Xue Lin followed again: "When I heard you call your cousin to get in the car just now, it sounds like you are very familiar with your cousin, does your cousin often go out in the car you drive?" ”

Ah Sheng glanced at her and opened his mouth to ask, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Xue Lin hurriedly lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, then raised her eyes timidly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just curious to ask, do you think I'm annoying." ”

"I still have something to do, if the girl has nothing else to do, I'll go first." Ah Sheng didn't pay attention to Xue Lin's words, casually dropped such a sentence, and threw the reins and drove away.

Xue Lin frowned and stood there looking at the carriage that was slowly moving away, and after a while, he bit his lip and chuckled: "It seems to be shy." ”

"What did the girl say?" Hui'er didn't hear Xue Lin's words clearly, so she stepped forward and asked.

"It's nothing, let's go, big brother should be bored." Xue Lin came back to her senses, retracted her gaze, smiled softly, and turned around and walked towards her home.

……

Mo Li didn't find Mo Liujin in the store, and Noble said that Mo Liujin went to Wang Dahu's house, as if he wanted to inquire about something, and it was estimated that he would have to come back in a while. Mo Li pondered for a while, then walked to the treasury to find Gu Jing, Gu Jing was originally her grandfather's buddy, after the old lady Mo passed away, she followed Mo Liujin's side, all the way from a buddy to Mr. Accounts, and now he is in charge of the treasury. For decades, Gu Jing did not have a better place to go, but he stayed in the Mo family wholeheartedly and did his best, and he never had the idea of leaving.

In such a shopping mall surrounded by tigers and wolves, it can be said that Gu Jingzhi is grateful to repay him, but this is also inseparable from Mo Liujin's mellow nature.

"Uncle Gu." After the last time those unsalable fabrics were sold, the warehouse was almost empty now, Mo Li glanced inside, and saw that Gu Jing was counting the remaining loose materials inside.

"It's Lili, why did this come over." Gu Jing turned his head to look, and when he saw that it was Mo Li, he asked with a smile.

"I came to look for my father, and I heard that my father went out, so I came here to see, what is my uncle busy with?" Mo Li said and walked over to look at the booklet in Gu Jing's hand, and then swept the scattered fabrics on the sweep rack.

"Although the last batch of goods didn't make a penny of silver, it was a lifesaver to get back the capital." Gu Jing is old, so he talks a lot, and Mo Li has grown up since he was a child, so when Mo Li asked, he said casually like chatting, "Yesterday, the shopkeeper went to my house, I wanted to buy a batch of new materials, but I was unexpectedly made difficult. All the materials that are easy to sell have been decided, and now what can be given to the shopkeeper is either some old goods, or the frighteningly high price of silk brocade, alas, how can the shopkeeper have so much silver into those precious materials...... But since there is no goods over there, then forget it, the shopkeeper will go to ask somewhere else, after all, the amount of our store is not large, and some can be entered. But I don't know what's going on, several acquaintances asked, and they all hit the nail, either the goods were all set, or the price was much higher than usual! Tsk, this is really a strange thing, we haven't offended them on weekdays, why are they all put up a score now! Gu Jing shook his head as he spoke, and continued, "So the shopkeeper just told me that he would go to Wang Dahu to inquire and see if there were any materials with a suitable price and good price. ”

Although Han Sidao can make small moves, he is still just a small steward now, even if he thinks in his heart, his hand can't be stretched so long. Did the family start secretly suppressing her father? Why? What is there in her Mo family, it is worth the Mo family's so much effort, it must be erased! In addition to the mulberry garden in Dongzhuang that was separated from her family, the only thing her family can get hold of is this shop connected to the house. But these things, when it comes to value, are not enough to be valued so much by the three uncles, but why do they have to work so hard!?

Mo Li frowned slightly, Mo's cloth and silk in Yongzhou, even if it can't be called covering the sky with one hand, but its influence is almost the same. If you really want to cut off her family's supply, it's really not a difficult thing.

Mo Li pondered for a while, puzzled, and asked, "Uncle Gu, did my father accidentally offend someone in his family recently?" ”

"How can such a good person as the shopkeeper offend people, this has always been someone else's offense." Gu Jing sighed, "I and the shopkeeper also feel strange about this, although in previous years, there were few times when the family gave a good face, but there was never such a difficulty, it is estimated that something happened to them." ”

Could it be the reason for the infighting in the Mo family, the internal discord on the part of the family, she knows it in her heart, but even so, there is no reason to make things difficult for her father because of the infighting in her own family.

"It's just that even if my father and Wang Dahu give out the silver together and send someone to the south to buy the goods, I am afraid that the silver will be more pasted in, and it may be swallowed by Wang Dahu a lot, and it will take more than a month to come and go. In case there is a shortage of goods in the store during this time, the business will become more and more deserted! ”

Gu Jing sighed helplessly: "So this time I can only go outside to collect some bulk goods as much as possible, this is also a matter of no way, let's go through this period first." ”

Mo Li frowned, and asked again: "Uncle does you know the work that the Yongzhou Weaving and Dyeing Bureau will outsource this autumn?" Did Dad pay attention to this? ”

"Yongzhou Weaving and Dyeing Bureau." Gu Jing smiled, then looked at Mo Li and said, "Lili, that's not something that a small business can think about, I remember that it was the Chen family who grabbed the approval the year before last, and last year it was the third master of the Mo family who got the approval." I heard that just this transaction, Master Mo San earned seven or eight thousand taels, and regardless of the various relationships that have been attracted through this pass, it is estimated that Master Mo San has already been eyeing it this year. ”

"Uncle Gu, do you know what kind of materials the Yongzhou Weaving and Dyeing Bureau will outsource this year?"

"How can you know this, this is all news that you have bought with a lot of silver."

Mo Li was silent for a while, then whispered a few words to Gu Jing, Gu Jing was stunned, for a long time, opened his mouth, but closed it again, raised his feet and walked a few steps in the warehouse, thought about it a few times, and then said: "This ...... The shopkeeper is afraid that he can't do it, but if he resells this news to another family, he can also get a sum of money at that time! ”

"Resell the news?" Mo Li was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "Uncle Gu, let's participate directly, and as soon as my father comes back, you will work with me to persuade my father." ”

Only by participating in the competition for this business can we break free from the suppression of our own side.

"Directly involved!?" Gu Jing was surprised, "Lili, the shopkeeper doesn't have so much silver pressed into it, and besides, this purple cloth is also divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and what the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau wants must be high-quality materials, not to mention the high-grade purple cloth, even the low-grade purple cloth, and the shopkeeper may not be able to find the source of goods." ”

"Uncle Gu, this time will definitely be an exception." Mo Li shook her head, "The Weaving and Dyeing Bureau does not necessarily need high-quality materials, and I can help my father find the source of goods, you can persuade my father to participate in this matter, even if you don't face the Mo family, as long as your father is always careful, this thing will definitely be done." Uncle Gu, this is a great opportunity, you must not let your father miss it. ”

Gu Jing was still a little hesitant: "That's right, but Lili, I'm worried that your father will be afraid of offending Master Mo San even more." ”

Mo Li said slowly: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield, it was originally your life and death, and now it is not good to offend them, even so, what does it matter if you offend them, they have no ability to grab it." ”

Gu Jing was stunned, looked at the girl in front of him, and was speechless.
