Chapter 308: Pursuit
"The boat was not small, but the draft was not deep enough, and it was obvious that there was not much cargo on board." Shi Dashan walked to Mo Gu's side, put his hand on the railing, and continued,
"Like those of us who specialize in waterways, at this time, the ships going from north to south are all full of cargo holds. In addition to the seasonal factor, such a large ship needs to pay a lot of ship tax, so as long as the ship is not full, it is equivalent to throwing silver in vain for us. However, it would not be surprising if the ship was not for business this time, and it was impossible for so many merchants from the north and south to return with a full load every time they went out. But these days, every time we go to the banknote customs, they also dock with us, and go directly ashore to pay taxes and stamps, and this silver is really too refreshing to throw. When he said this, he looked at Mo Li and smiled,
"I didn't expect that the Mo Dong family would notice these things the first time I followed the boat, and I really can't underestimate it."

waited until after sunset, Mo Li went to the wing room with her peace, and as soon as she walked to the door, Xie Gexian walked out of it. The remnant sun of the evening illuminated the exhaustion and paleness on his face more and more clearly, and Mo Li was stunned for a while before opening his mouth to ask the adults to take care of their bodies. ”
Xie Gexian didn't look at her, but only said softly to say goodbye, she has also had several relationships with you. ”
Mo Li nodded, and walked in, at this time the house had been cleaned up, and the child was also taken away by the nurse, and the woman lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, except that her face looked a little pale, it was no different from falling asleep.
She and her, but they have only met a few times, and each time they pass by in a hurry, and the words they have spoken, the total number of words may be less than ten sentences, and in my impression, this is a perfect woman. Such a thing, for her, has always been an existence above the clouds, and like this, she has everything that ordinary people dare not imagine since she was born.
It's just that fate is impermanent, and it always catches people off guard, like in her last life.
Even today, she originally came to congratulate, but in the end, it turned into a farewell.
When he came out of Wang Ying's room, Xie Gexian was still standing under the corridor, his long figure was in the setting sun, so silent that people didn't dare to move forward, and the sad atmosphere slowly flowed in the invisible air. The people in this courtyard all looked a little dazed, and in the quiet courtyard, there were occasionally one or two suppressed cries. Mo Li hesitated for a moment, then walked and said softly This matter should be said by someone to Xie Mansion, the matter must be helped, and the child must be taken care of by someone to be proper, can the adult send someone to say it?
Xie Gexian turned around slowly, and said in a dumb voice The Mo Dong family has a heart, the people from the Xie Mansion will arrive in a while, I heard that you have been for a long time, and it is too late, so I will not stay longer. ”
He seemed to be better than he had imagined, and apart from the sadness in his eyes, the look on his face was much better than just now.
Mo Li hesitated for a while, feeling that he couldn't help at this time, so he comforted him a few words and said goodbye. It's just that she has just walked a few steps, but Xie Gexian said in the back that she only received the news from the capital yesterday, the emperor plans to go directly to Yushan to worship her ancestors this time, and Ah Sheng was also ordered to go with her. ”
Mo Li was stunned, for some reason, when she heard the name of Yushan, her heart jumped suddenly, but at this time, Xie Gexian followed and told Mo Dongjia that this matter was okay, and he couldn't go out. ”
After returning to Yunshang Pavilion, it was already dark, Jia Hei was waiting in a hurry, and finally looked at her, so he hurriedly asked how it was, whether that Xie was born or a daughter, did you hear the news of Ah Sheng, what day was it? ”
After Mo Li entered the store, she sighed lightly and gave birth to a daughter, but Xie died due to dystocia. ”
Fourteen days later, under the guidance of Xie San's grandmother, Xie Gexian personally sent Wang Ying's coffin to the capital and entered the ancestral tomb of the Xie family.
That day, Mo Li also went to see off a ride, and the handsome man that day, after a few years of personnel changes, added a little vicissitudes to his face, and a little more melancholy in his eyes. Next to the car with Su Su, he was standing there in a white robe, looking a little thin. There were many people from the Xie family and the state government to see them off, but Mo Li did not step forward, but only stood outside the crowd and watched.
And when Xie Gexian was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly turned his head to her.
That glance was very short, and he had already closed his gaze when Mo Li was sure whether he was looking at her.
The day after Xie Gexian left, the first batch of goods that Silk Bank negotiated with Shi Dashan was also loaded onto the ship and was about to enter the Yongjiang River and be transported to the south. Because this is the first transaction between the silk store and Shi Dashan, it is related to whether the business can go smoothly in the next ten years, so the silk company still needs to send a person in charge to follow the ship all the way to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
After Mo Li looked at the places she passed along the way, she decided to follow the boat herself, Jia Hei was surprised that the owner of the house, this trip would take at least two months, and the boat was basically men"
"Me, but I have to go this time." Mo Li looked at Jia Hei's waterway map and said, "Ji Yufeng has been back to Yongzhou for a while, is there any action on his side at present?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.
Speaking of this, Jia Hei remembered what he heard two days ago, and said that it was a coincidence, before the trading company had a trend of declining rivers, but he pulled a deal, I heard that the party that negotiated the transaction was from the south, and it seemed that the shipment was also in these days. ”
Mo Li raised his eyes at the people in the south, where is the south? ”
Jia Hei shook his head and it wasn't clear, but according to what I heard, it didn't seem to be a businessman of Jokhang. ”
Mo Li's mind flashed suddenly, and he asked if he was a merchant from the Yue Kingdom? ”
"A Vietnamese merchant?" Jia Hei was stunned, "Who said it was from the Yue Kingdom?" But isn't the country of Yue in the west of Jokhang? "No mistakes, no skipping words.
Mo Li couldn't ignore the strange feeling in his heart, hesitated for a while, and then told what he heard from Xue Lin that day. After Jia Hei listened, he touched his chin and pondered for a while, and then said, Could it be the cousin who listened, it should be the Yue Clan and not the Yue Kingdom? To the south, the Yue clan has a lot of business dealings with the Jokhang, and they like our silk here very much. It's just that I heard that there has been a war on the southern border recently, so the relationship between the two sides has been tense a lot, and now the merchants of the Yue Clan are very low-key and easily do not identify themselves. ”
Mo Li was stunned, thought for a while, and felt that this was very possible.
Although the friction between countries has never affected the transactions between merchants, at such a sensitive time, Ji Yufeng actually dealt with the people of the Yue Clan, which inexplicably made people feel a vague sense of shock. And she always felt as if she was ignoring it, but she couldn't remember it.
However, the doubts about the trading company's side did not affect Mo Li's decision to follow the ship, because the merchant ship went south and happened to pass through Yushan. When this was confirmed, she could no longer suppress the impulse in her heart, as if a voice in her heart had repeatedly told her that she had to make this trip, or she would regret it.
At the beginning of October, the cold wind on the river was already cold, but Mo Li stood on the deck of the bow of the ship with a pensive face, looking at the surging river below.
After a while, Mo Gu walked aisles, although most of the men on this boat are invited by the Mo family, but in the end, there are still other people, and most of them are men with strong blood, but you are still standing on the bow of this boat every day, which is too eye-catching. Right now, those people are thinking about running up and walking around when they're fine, you should restrain yourself and stay in the cabin. ”
Mo Li retracted his gaze, not caring about Mo Gu's reproach, but just asked, how long will it be to Yushan? ”
"It's time in two days." Mo Gu frowned slightly as he spoke, "There is still a banknote gate in Yushan, and it is estimated that it will take half a day to stay at that time, and if you arrive there in the evening, you may have to stop overnight." ”
Mo Li smiled faintly It doesn't matter if you spend a little more, the water road is still safe, and Shi Dashan is also on this boat, he is not in a hurry, and we don't need to worry about him. ”
Mogu glanced at him, and then stood beside her, Ah Sheng, hurry, right? No less words"
Mo Li stroked her windswept hair, well......"
Mo Gu looked at Jiang Mian and said, Now that you have come out with the boat, will he be home before you? ”
Mo Li was silent for a while, and then sighed softly, but it would be better if that was the case. ”
Mo Gu retracted his gaze from the river, looked at her and said, Actually, you don't have to follow this trip, you have put a lot of effort into Sixing, the clan has long recognized you, and there is still someone who can do it for you, and in the end, the credit will be credited to you. ”
Mo Li smiled, didn't explain, looked at the river, and then raised his chin to the west and said Fifth Uncle No, since entering the Yongjiang River, the boat seems to have been following us. ”
Mo Gu glanced there, and said that everyone who went south took this waterway, and besides, it was also a merchant ship, and you thought too much. ”
"The Mo Dong family is really careful, although it is a merchant ship, there is really something wrong." While the two were talking, Shi Dashan walked from behind to answer.
When Mogu heard this, he turned his head and asked what was wrong? ”
"The boat was not small, but the draft was not deep enough, and it was obvious that there was not much cargo on board." Shi Dashan walked to Mo Gu's side, put his hand on the railing, and continued, "It seems that we merchants who specialize in waterways, at this time, all the ships going from north to south are full of cargo holds. In addition to the seasonal factor, such a large ship needs to pay a lot of ship tax, so as long as the ship is not full, it is equivalent to throwing silver in vain for us. However, it would not be surprising if the ship was not for business this time, and it was impossible for so many merchants from the north and south to return with a full load every time they went out. But these days, every time we go to the banknote customs, they also dock with us, and go directly ashore to pay taxes and stamps, and this silver is really too refreshing to throw. When he said this, he looked at Mo Li and smiled, "I didn't expect that the Mo Dong family would notice these things the first time he followed the boat, and he really can't be underestimated." ”
Mo Li was slightly shocked, she didn't notice the ship because she was as observant as Shi Dashan said, but at the last money gate, when she got off the boat with Mo Gu to take a look, she happened to meet a few people who also came down from the boat, and one of them had a very strange accent. The businessman who was originally running on the waterway had all the same accents, but she didn't know it at the time, but she noticed the other party.
Mo Li pondered for a long time, and his heart suddenly jumped up, and the hand that grabbed the railing also tightened a little, is it as long as there is a seal at the banknote customs, whether it is a dock or a ship on the way, the official will not be embarrassed? ”
"That's true." Shi Dashan nodded, "If it is not a cargo ship, you don't have to pay those complicated ship taxes, so there are always many businessmen who want to take advantage of such loopholes, so the people at the customs check very strictly, as long as there is no document with a customs seal on the way, it will be detained, and then someone will be sent on the ship to check whether it is true." After all, there are a lot of cats here, so if some people are in a hurry, even if there is no cargo on board, they will inevitably have to send some benefits out. ”
Hearing such words, Mo Li's uneasiness became heavier and heavier, and he always felt that something important was flashing in his heart, but he couldn't grasp it for a while. Although she has ten more memories than others, when she wants to recall a certain point at that time, it is also a long time for her to be ten years apart. If it was related to herself, she could remember it clearly, but the ones that were not related to her were really vague. What's more, in these two lives, she took a completely different path, so those memories were basically no advantage for her.
