Chapter Ninety-One: The Night Meeting
When the carriage drove down Xigu Street to Liuyin Hutong, Mo Li suddenly smelled the sweet smell of chestnuts and the sound of vendors shouting and children chasing along the street. She suddenly remembered Mo Xue, she had been running out all day today, and she didn't know what was going on at home.
You go down and buy two pounds of chestnuts. After Mo Li asked Ah Sheng to stop, he said to Hongdou. Although it is filial piety, she is still reluctant to let Mo Xue be like her, and she dips those green vegetables and tofu every day. After all, she is still a child, and there is less meat on weekdays, so it is nothing to eat some snacks occasionally, and she can be coaxed to be happier.
It's just that when Hongdou lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, Mo Li saw a carriage coming out of the mouth of Liuyin Hutong. At first glance, she didn't pay much attention, but just as she was about to lower the curtain, she saw the carriage stop, and a small man jumped out of the car, and at the same time, a middle-aged man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks poked his head out of it and looked out.
Mo Li was stunned, and stopped the hand that put down the curtain, and the man who poked his head out turned out to be Wang Dahu.
The ancestral house of the Mo family is in Liuyin Hutong, and Master Mo San is now living with Old Master Mo San, but Wang Dahu came out from there, could it be that he went to find Master Mo San?
Ah Sheng, look at the people in the carriage over there, are they Wang Dahu? At this time, the night had fallen, and the light was a little blurry, Mo Li was afraid that he would see it badly, so he whispered to Ah Sheng.
Yes, he was right. Ah Sheng only glanced there and nodded, the dim light had no effect on him.
Mo Li groaned slightly, then moved his body out, and then maintained the movement of opening the curtain with his hand, leaning his back against the wall of the car, looking outside, and said softly: How is Uncle Gu's side, it has been a few days, why hasn't the batch of horses that Wang Dahu owes my father sent yet? Is he going to detain it?
Some time ago, Uncle Gu couldn't find Wang Dahu, so he went to his store every day to squat and wait, but he still couldn't guard anyone, and then Uncle Gu went directly to his house to guard, as if he didn't catch anyone until the day before yesterday. Ah Sheng glanced at Mo Li as he spoke, only to see that at the beginning of the night, the blurry lights were projected from the side of the street, looming on her face, so faintly in the light that only his eyes could see her face clearly. In the dim carriage, she sat alone in plain clothes, her expression was faint, but there was a fierceness in her eyes that could not be ignored.
Uncle Gu was afraid that you would be worried, so he didn't tell you these things. Ah Sheng said again.
Well, Mo Li retracted his gaze and glanced at Ah Sheng, what does Wang Dahu mean now?
I heard Uncle Gu say that Wang Dahu wanted to directly buy the shopkeeper's materials, but the price was not negotiated.
Oh, how much silver did he give?
Eight hundred taels.
Mo Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and even a sneer on his face was saved: Not to mention how much those horses will earn after they are transported here, the capital alone is enough for two thousand taels, but he only gives eight hundred taels, and he can really open his mouth.
Do you want me to clean him up? Ah Sheng said in a low voice.
Mo Li shook his head: I still have my father's deed in my hand, but he still dares to open his mouth like this, most of the time Master Mo San is supporting him behind his back, and now it is estimated that those materials are not in Wang Dahu, and it is useless for you to beat him now.
Ah Sheng glanced at Mo Li, in fact, it doesn't matter where those materials are, the deed of the shopkeeper is there, if he dares to swallow it, I can make him spit it out.
Mo Li smiled faintly: Originally, I only planned to meet the two thousand taels of horses, but now I have changed my mind She whispered a few words to Ah Sheng. After a while, Hongdou came back with two bags of sugar-fried chestnuts, and Wang Dahu's carriage also left here.
After Mo Li got off the car at the door of his house, and was about to go inside, he turned around and said: I have worked hard for you today, I don't know that you can still throw a good whip.
Ah Sheng was about to drive in the alley, and when he heard Mo Li's words, he smiled: Is there a reward?
Mo Li was stunned, and before she could speak, Hongdou said angrily on the side: You are really good enough to climb along the pole, oh, this is specially bought for you by the girl, and the girl didn't forget you when she bought snacks for the second girl! As she spoke, she handed a packet of sugar-fried chestnuts to Ah Sheng.

Ah Sheng glanced at the bag of fried chestnuts with sugar, and then glanced at Mo Li, Mo Li smiled faintly: Eat some of this first, it's inconvenient recently, and I'll make something else for you later.
This sounded like he was talking to Mo Xue, a bit of a coaxing child's tone. Ah Sheng smiled, thanked him, and drove the carriage to the side, but when he entered the alley, he turned his head to look again, and just saw Mo Li's back turned around, slender and cold.
Why did you come back so late, but your mother is worried. After Mo Li came out of the Zhu family, she went to Mrs. Mo to sit here for a while, and Mrs. Mo pulled her to sit down beside her, and then said, Have you eaten dinner?
I just used it at my mother's place. As she spoke, Mo Li grabbed out a few sugar-fried chestnuts and put them in Mo Xue's hand, and asked her to eat them with Siniu, and then asked Mrs. Mo, grandma, did grandpa have a steward surnamed Lu before? It's about the same age as my grandfather, well, and I have a black mole on my eye.
The steward surnamed Lu? Old Mrs. Mo was slightly stunned, thought for a while and then nodded and said, Oh, there is such a person, but he was specially to help your grandfather manage the affairs of the mulberry garden. How do you know about him? Did you see him over there today?
Mo Li nodded, and told him about today's events, including the events in the Juxian Building.
Those people really bullied our family for not having a man. Mrs. Mo said a little angrily, but after she finished speaking, she sighed again, it turned out that the steward Lu was still guarding the mulberry garden, and I thought he had left early, I didn't expect that after this change of master, he still remembered your grandfather
Mo Li thought for a while, and then asked: Since grandpa passed away, has Uncle Lu ever come to find grandma or father?
It seems that there is none. Mrs. Mo thought about it, and shook her head, as soon as your grandfather died, the people in the mulberry garden were in chaos, and your father took over too many things at once, not only to take care of the store, but also to take care of the mulberry garden, and the stewards under his hands were mostly yang and yin, so he simply rented the entire mulberry garden to the eldest master. It seems that there was some chaos at that time, but a few stewards came to look for your father, but there is no grandma who is the steward of Lu who doesn't remember, but how do you ask about this?
Maybe I've thought too much, when I went over there today, I always felt that Uncle Lu seemed to have something to say to me. As soon as he heard my father's name come out, he became very excited.
Maybe I think of your grandfather. Old Mrs. Mo sighed, your grandfather had a few very loyal stewards around him back then, and your grandfather paid more effort to that mulberry garden, but it was a pity that God had already taken him away, otherwise, maybe your grandfather would be able to cultivate silkworms.
Mo Li was stunned: Grandpa also wants to cultivate silkworms?
Old Mrs. Mo nodded, with a touch of sadness in her eyes: On the day your father was born, your grandfather once told me that when he cultivates silkworms, the first thing he will do is to ask the best weavers to weave the world's beautiful face, and then bring them to me to tailor. When Mrs. Mo said this, she smiled bitterly, alas, she is really old, and she often thinks about her youth recently
The husband left his unfulfilled promise and left, and the son left the crumbling family and went with his father. As the old lady Mo spoke, her eyes turned a little red again, Mo Li hurriedly stopped the topic, comforted her a few words, and didn't dare to say more, so as not to arouse the old man with more sadness.
Widowed in middle age, lost a son in old age, how happy he used to be, and how desolate his heart is now.
Mo Li came out of Mrs. Mo's house, walked to the east chamber, looked at the clear moonlight like mercury in the courtyard, and stood still at the pillar for a while.
After becoming a family, I realized that my father's hardships were not easy, and everyone around me had bad intentions.
A very small matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but it may involve the interests of all parties later.
I don't know how long she stood there, Mo Li sighed in her heart, and was about to walk back to the house, but as soon as she took a step, she saw a small shell grumbling down from the eaves at the top of the house, which happened to fall under her steps. She walked over and picked it up, and found that it was a chestnut shell.
This, how could it fall from above?!
Mo Li was stunned, then went down the steps, walked a few steps forward, and then looked up.
He sat on the roof of her east wing, the silver moon was like a hook, hanging on the sky behind him, the cold moonlight sprinkled on him, under the staggering of light and shadow, the person sitting on the roof was familiar and strange.
The wind of the autumn night blew, and his face could not be seen clearly, except for his medium-length hair fluttering slightly in the moonlight.
Ah Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at Mo Li standing in the moonlight, such a slender body, but with such a bright eye, not losing anyone's eyes, like a wild rose growing in the wilderness, even if the wind and rain blow, but still proud.
You- why are you here? It was supposed to reprimand him, but when she came back to her senses, she just opened her mouth and asked softly.
I was a little worried about you, so I had to come here and have a look. Ah Sheng smiled, holding the bag of sugar-fried chestnuts in his hand, and accidentally got the shell down, but this thing is quite sweet and glutinous.
It's late, you go back and rest, don't do this in the future. Mo Li said helplessly.
Ah Sheng looked at her and said, "You go into the house, I'll leave."
Mo Li still had to say something, but this red bean came out of the house: Why is the girl standing outside?
Oh, just go inside. Mo Li hurriedly withdrew his gaze and walked towards his room.
Ah Sheng listened to the door below close before he stood up, and while stepping lightly on the eaves, he squeezed open a chestnut, threw the chestnut meat into his mouth, and the chestnut shell accurately returned to the oiled paper bag.
He was not careful, he just wanted to see her, Ah Sheng ate the sweet chestnuts, and then looked up at the silver hook on his head, and squinted his eyes with satisfaction.
