Chapter Eighty-Six: Gambling
ο»Ώ
On the last day of August, in the morning, the morning sun had just shone, and before the new day's business began in Juxian Lou on Ping'an South Road, a Qingpeng carriage had already stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, and before the Qingpeng carriage came, several carriages of different sizes had been parked next to the restaurant.
After Mo Li got out of the car, before he could look up, he heard a few sneers from above. When she looked up, she saw that at the window on the second floor of Juxian Tower, a boy in a brocade robe with an evil face was leaning against the window and squinting at her. Those few strange laughs came from this person, and several young men squeezed next to him, and they also laughed in a low voice with him, and at the same time looked at Mo Li while turning their heads and ears.
Hongdou blushed all of a sudden, and hurriedly said to Mo Li: "Girl, he, they ......"
"Leave it alone, go up with me." The male-negotiable brother with an evil face in the lead was Mo Xing, and the others were all young men from the Mo clan, Mo Li only glanced at Mo Xing before retracting his gaze, and said to Hongdou with an expressionless face, and then turned his head to look at Ah Shengna. Ah Sheng just jumped off the carriage, and then looked up at the second floor, his face did not move, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and then he followed behind Mo Li.
Master Mo didn't come over, and Master Mo San didn't arrive. In the hall on the second floor, two tables have been opened, one of which is led by Mo Xing. Sitting at the other table was led by Han Sidao, representing the lineage of Master Mo San.
"Cousin Mo Li is here, come on, come on, sit here, the place has been reserved for you." As soon as Mo Li stepped on the floor on the second floor, Mo Xing immediately stood up, pulled open the chair next to him and beckoned to Mo Li with an evil smile on his face.
Mo Li glanced at him, then swept over and looked at Han Sidao. Han Sidao nodded at Mo Li first, then got up and said, "The third master has something to do today and can't come for the time being, so let me and a few stewards come over to see the girl on his behalf." β
Obviously, it was the old man who was invited, but the other party only sent a few juniors over, and the meaning was already clear, in their eyes, neither she nor her grandmother had the qualifications to negotiate terms with them.
Mo Li nodded slightly, ignoring Mo Xing's side, so he found another table to sit down, and then asked the guy in the restaurant to serve a pot of fragrant tea first.
"My cousin specially invited us over today, why did she drink tea here by herself?" Looking at Mo Li's cold and indifferent attitude, Mo Xing frowned, but immediately smiled again, and as he spoke, he got up and walked to Mo Li's side and continued, "Since you drink tea, why don't you go to my table, just let someone make a pot of silver quill." β
"Uncle Lobby can't come because of something?" Mo Li raised his eyes and looked at him, "Mulberry Garden, can you do the Lord?" β
"What's the big deal, I can do it naturally." Mo Xing smiled, "For the sake of the same family, I give my cousin a piece of advice." Mo Xing said and walked one step further, lowered his voice, looked at Mo Li and said, "Don't mistake yourself, and in the end, you will miss your family, and it will be too late to regret it." β
Although the voice was not loud, everyone in the hall could hear it clearly, it was a naked threat. Master Mo was also thoughtful, but he just said it through the mouth of his juniors, and in the end, others really couldn't say anything, and even the word bullying had nothing to do with him.
"Is that what Steward Han means?" As soon as Mo Xing's words fell, Mo Li glanced at Han Sidao, "The shop left by my father, the third master really plans to ask Steward Han to come over and help?" β
Han Sidao said sincerely: "It still depends on what Miss Mo means, if the girl really cares about it, the third master will naturally not say anything." It's just that Miss Mo still thinks about it, even if the girl goes out to hire another shopkeeper, it may not be really better than the shopkeeper Mo, and buying and selling is not a simple matter. This is a euphemistic hint to her, when her father was there, the clan could suppress it, and now that Mo Li invited the shopkeeper back outside, Master Mo San can deal with it differently.
"That's fine, please ask Steward Han to go back and tell Uncle Santang, I don't want to hand over the shop left by my father to someone else, I appreciate Uncle Santang's kindness." After Mo Li finished speaking, he turned his head, looked at Mo Xing and continued, "As for the mulberry garden in Dongzhuang, because it was rented by Uncle Lobby and my father before, according to what was written in the lease book, there are still five years left in the lease period. But now I want to take it back two years in advance, and of course, I will pay more money to Uncle Lobby at that time. As he spoke, Mo Li took a box handed over by the red bean, opened it, took out a piece of paper inside and handed it to Mo Xing and continued, "It has been written clearly here, in the past two years in advance, I will pay Uncle Hall 20,000 taels of silver per year, so in two years, I will pay a total of 40,000 taels of silver." As soon as Mo Li's words came out, the steward and others in the hall were stunned, 40,000 taels of silver, which is a lot of money, a girl's family dared to speak casually, it was like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. After Mo Xing took the piece of paper, he looked at Mo Li in disbelief, and then suddenly laughed a few times: "Cousin, cousin, you are really ...... The woman is really naΓ―ve, you write two sentences on this paper, and you want to take the mulberry garden back, which is too child's play. I persuaded my cousin to go back and keep filial piety, embroider more on weekdays, and take less pens, that is not something that a woman should touch, and this mulberry garden is not something that my cousin should think about now. He shook his head, and then tore up the piece of paper in his hand. Hongdou's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the confetti that fell to the ground in disbelief and said, "You, how can you tear up my girl's things, you-"
"Where is this girl who doesn't know the rules, do you have the right to speak!" Mo Xing glanced at the red bean, snorted coldly, and then turned around and left. It's just that Mo Li continued: "That piece of paper is really not clear enough, and there is a supplement here, if I can't get 40,000 taels of silver in three years, then the title deed of the mulberry garden will be handed over directly to the hall uncle, including the two shops left by my father." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Han Sidao again.
Han Sidao was stunned, Mo Xing stopped his feet, turned around and squinted at Mo Li for a while, and then smiled: "It turns out that my cousin still has such courage, my cousin is betting at the opening, and I want to make a bet?" β
"Since the lobby uncle let Cousin Mo Xing call the shots, what does Cousin Mo Xing think about this matter?" Mo Li held the note between his fingers and looked at Mo Xingdao.
Mo Xing didn't even look at the note in Mo Li's hand, and directly shook his head and said: "There are some tempting gambles, but there is no need for the eldest master to bully a junior like this, if my cousin really wants to gamble, I will accompany my cousin alone in the future, and my cousin can gamble anything." As he spoke, he looked at Mo Li again, and then laughed evilly.
"Yes, it seems that the hall uncle really thinks that he will eat me." Mo Li smiled faintly, and put the note in his hand on the table, "It's just that as soon as the five-year lease expires, Sang Yuan will naturally take it back, isn't the lobby uncle distressed?" β
Mo Xing didn't answer positively, but just smiled: "So cousin Mo Li is still a little naΓ―ve." β
Mo Li glanced at him, picked up the fragrant tea he had just sent and took a sip gently, and then slowly spoke: "In this way, then I have to take the title deed of Mulberry Garden to the Tianbao Pavilion for auction, and the auction will be leased for ten years, and it will be renewed after the lease of the lobby uncle, I don't know how many people are interested." β
"Auction!?" Not to mention Mo Xing, even Han Sidao and the stewards present were also stunned, and they never expected Mo Li to say such a sentence. Tianbao Pavilion is the largest auction house in Yongzhou, is the property of the Ji family, developed from the pawnshop, in addition to Yongzhou, Shangjing also has its semicolon. It's just an auction ten-year lease, which is really unheard of, and some of the stewards shook their heads and smiled after being stunned, and they all felt that Mo Li was too whimsical. But Mo Xing, Han Sidao, and a few stewards who were two grades older were stunned, and they hesitated for a while.
For the first time, there was silence in the hall, and Mo Li sat there calmly, slowly sipping tea.
Mo Xing snorted, and said: "My cousin really dares to say it, is it possible that my cousin doesn't know that there are regulations in the clan, that mulberry garden is the root of the Mo clan, and she wants to sell it publicly, and it is possible that my cousin wants to become a sinner of the clan!" β
Mo Li put down the teacup and smiled faintly: "Cousin Mo Xing doesn't need to bluff me, I just auctioned the lease period, not sold it, just like renting it to the hall uncle, it doesn't violate the clan rules at all." β
"What kind of place is Tianbao Pavilion to take such a ridiculous thing!" The people at Mo Xing's table began to speak, and then some people followed, and at the same time, some people vaguely said a few words to slander her by taking advantage of her filial piety.
Mo Li only glanced at it and ignored it, the moment she swore in front of her father's coffin, she was ready to accept these gossips. However, Hongyu bit her lip a few times and looked aggrieved for her.
"I don't have much patience, after tasting this pot of tea, if Cousin Mo Xing doesn't accept my previous proposal, then tomorrow Tianbao Pavilion will release the news of the auction of the lease period of the Mulberry Garden, and if the lobby uncle is interested, you are welcome to go over and bid."
"Ridiculous, it's impossible for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to accept such a commission from you." Mo Xing's face was gloomy, then he threw off his robe and turned away, and asked the few little stewards who accompanied him here today to go home.
Mo Li didn't stay, just watched, with an unpredictable smile on his face.
Mo Xing glanced at her again and snorted coldly, but just as he was about to walk to the staircase, two richly dressed young men suddenly walked out of the corridor leading to the private room on the second floor, one of them was Xie Gexian, most of the people present didn't recognize it, but Han Sidao was slightly stunned. It's just that when they saw clearly the arrogant noble son beside Xie Gexian, several older stewards suddenly chuckled in their hearts, that person was actually the owner of Tianbao Pavilion, Ji Yufeng!
"Who said that Tianbao Pavilion would not accept such a commission, I am very interested in this." Ji Yufeng walked out of the corridor Shi Shiran, glanced into the hall, and then said to the person next to him, "I didn't expect to come out to taste tea this morning, I really encountered such an interesting thing." β
Xie Gexian smiled, and walked with him to Mo Li.
After watching the master of Tianbao Pavilion sit down opposite Mo Li, Mo Xing's face was obviously stiff, and a steward next to him saw this situation, so he whispered to him: "Young Master Xing, I will go back and explain this matter to the eldest master first, Tianbao Pavilion is the property of the Ji family, if they really interfere, the matter will be a little difficult." β
When Mo Li said that he wanted to auction the lease period, Han Sidao had quietly signaled a steward to go back and communicate.
At this time, he was still sitting there silently, not showing any mountains or water, just quietly watching the scene in front of him and watching Mo Li's every move.
