Chapter 104 Secret

Mo Li wanted to go to the store to have a look, but as soon as he walked out of the hall door, he saw Ah Sheng coming from the side, and there was a man with a face behind him.

She knew that Ah Sheng was extremely cautious and measured in everything, but today she suddenly led a strange man in without first announcing it. What's wrong? Mo Li groaned slightly, then stopped at the door of the hall and looked at him inquiringly.

"He is Uncle Lu's eldest son, and he came to find the girl." After Ah Sheng brought the man over, he met Mo Li's gaze and explained in a low voice.

"How does the little brother know that I am ......" Lu Changsheng, who was following Ah Sheng, was taken aback, and immediately glanced at Ah Sheng. By this time they had reached the door of the antechamber, the eaves blocking the pale gray sun of the late autumn morning, and Ah Sheng walked ahead of him, and happened to stand in the shadow under the porch. Lu Changsheng raised his eyes in surprise, and saw the young man in front of him, his back was tall and straight, leading him all the way here, and the other party's steps were steady but silent, which was faintly different from other guys. He was stunned for a moment, and then a stirring in his heart followed: "Could it be that the little brother is the young man who went to find my father a few nights ago?" That night, when he went past his father's, Ah Sheng was leaving, so he only saw his back.

After Mo Li came back from Mulberry Garden that day, she always had some doubts in her heart, although she took the opportunity to talk to Master Mo that day, so that no one would stop her when she went to Mulberry Garden in the future. But now that it is still in the hands of someone else after all, who she wants to find, what to ask, what is the inconvenience, and it is inevitable that there will be many pairs of eyes staring, and if there is something hidden there, it will inevitably startle the snake. So she kept holding back and didn't go over, and only asked Ah Sheng to pick a convenient time to go over to Uncle Na Lu to ask some things on her behalf before making plans.

Ah Sheng nodded slightly, and after introducing Mo Li again, Mo Li was stunned, so he hurriedly invited Lu Changsheng into the hall, and asked Ah Sheng to watch outside, don't let people enter casually.

"Uncle Lu has been in good health recently? Five masters, are they embarrassed for you? After Mo Li asked Lu Changsheng to sit down, he poured a cup of tea, and then cared.

"Girl, don't worry, I am also a small head in the mulberry garden, and I have decades of silk reeling skills, most of the long-term workers listen to me, and the lords and stewards at the top dare not really do anything to me." After Lu Changsheng took a sip of hot tea, he looked at the room again, and then at the table that Mo Li used to put pen, ink, paper, inkstone and abacus. He remembered that this was originally Mo Siqi's family belongings back then, and later passed on to Mo Liujin, and now it is in the hands of this girl who is less than two years old, so he couldn't help but sigh: "I can't imagine that the furnishings in this hall are still like this, but the paint on the table is dark, twenty years ago, when I came over with my father, the fourth old lady was the girl who was sitting; Fifteen years ago, when I came here by myself, the six-pound young master was also sitting in this position. I remember that the lacquer on the table was still vermilion, like fine silk satin, and bright. ”

Mo Li's eyes showed a little stunned, raised her hand and gently touched the wishes of two generations that had carried decades of time, and now she arrived at the family in her hand, lowered her eyes and sighed: "Grandpa and father are gone, and the good times of the Mo family back then are like the paint on this table and chair, slowly receding." I now have the heart to repaint them to comfort my grandfather and father's spirits in heaven, but I don't know when I will be able to do so. ”

Lu Changsheng put down the teacup and glanced at Mo Li, the girl in front of him was very young, so young that people couldn't rest assured. What's even more disturbing is that she is not only young, but also very beautiful, such a woman, does she really understand in her heart what kind of thorns lie ahead of this road? Back then, even the six-pound young master couldn't afford to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, so he had to unload the heaviest side......

It's just that she has also done what the six-catty young master neither dares to do nor think. not only openly recruited sons-in-law, but also directly argued with the clan, found life from the Jedi, and walked out of a way.

"If the girl can have this heart, the fourth old lady and the six-catty young master will be very happy if they have a spirit in the sky." Lu Changsheng retracted his gaze and comforted him.

Mo Li smiled, but when he raised his eyes, the melancholy on his face had been put away, and his expression was still gentle, but there was a bit of fortitude between his eyebrows: "I don't know why Uncle Lu came over today?" ”

Lu Changsheng arrived first: "I heard that the girl made a bet with the clan, and planned to take Dongzhuang Mulberry Garden back to take care of it herself in three years." ”

Mo Li nodded: "That's right, it was originally the property left by my grandfather, and my grandfather spent most of his life on that mulberry garden, so I can't let my grandfather's hard work be in vain." ”

Lu Changsheng then asked: "Does that girl know how many manpower is needed to take care of that mulberry garden?" How much thought does it take? ”

Mo Li looked at Lu Changsheng, and then was silent for a while before saying, "Uncle Lu thinks I'm just thinking about it?" ”

"The girl is too careful." Lu Changsheng shook his head, "If it's really just a matter of will, it is impossible for Master Mo to be forced by the girl to sign this gambling contract step by step." My father said that the girl has the style of the fourth old lady, and the only thing that worries the old man is that the girl is too young, and if she encounters big setbacks and grievances in the future, it will be easy to ......"

"What frustration could be greater than watching a loved one die? When the money is gone, you can earn it again; If you lose your family business, you can start over; Only if people are gone, they are really gone...... That's it, I got through it. I am deeply comforted by Uncle Lu's concern, but his old man is really worried. Mo Li smiled faintly, without deliberately emphasizing, but still said in the usual calm tone, "It was indeed an accident for me to meet Uncle Lu's family, who still remembered my grandfather. If I can get the help of Uncle Lu's family after three years, it will be a surprise for me, and if there is no Uncle Lu's family, I will also have three years to prepare and study, and I always have to eat one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. ”

Lu Changsheng was slightly stunned, and then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and finally put down the shelf that he had just pretended to put up, and laughed: "No wonder my father said that the girl has the style of the four old ladies, and when the girl said this, her expression was really a little similar to the four old ladies back then." I'm still a stunned young man, I've never seen such an elegant businessman, it's really ......" Lu Changsheng touched his forehead as he spoke, and sighed, "Sitting here again today, it is inevitable that there will be more memories, girl, don't think I'm verbose." As he spoke, he laughed again, sweeping away the serious and restrained appearance just now.

Mo Li was slightly surprised in her heart, and said so much, but the other party still didn't say why she came here today, but she didn't look anxious on her face, but just said with a smile: "I know that I am young, but I am in charge of such a big store in my hands, and there are so many things in the back, it is inevitable that people will feel uneasy." ”

"Okay, I won't be too wordy, I came here today, in fact, I was to deliver something to the girl for my old man." As he spoke, Lu Changsheng took out a small cloth bag from his arms, then got up and took it to Mo Li, handed it to her, and said, "This was left by the fourth old lady, and the girl put it away, it was originally going to be handed over to the six-jin young master, but the six-pound young master resigned himself, so my father had to keep it for the fourth old lady first." ”

"This is—" Mo Li took it, opened it, and saw that in the cloth bag was half a poorly bound booklet, every page of the paper was yellowed, and every word was copied by hand. Mo Li recognized at a glance that this was her grandfather's handwriting, and her grandmother once said that her grandfather wrote well, and there were many people who came to the door to ask for words, so she always took her grandfather's handwriting to copy, so she was very familiar with this handwriting.

Lu Changsheng explained: "This is the note left by the fourth old lady when he raised silkworms, and the fourth old lady also gave this book a title, called "Notes on Silkworms". ”

Mo Li's heart suddenly turned upside down, she looked at the half of the yellowed booklet for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and then she raised her eyes and said, "Raise?" You mean to say that my grandfather had already bred silkworms back then."

"That's right." Lu Changsheng nodded.

"How could that be...... Mo Li only felt that her chest could not be calmed, she already felt that since her father's accidental death, her pain, her doubts, her forbearance, and the secret that had been hidden for many years were about to jump out of the water in front of her.

Lu Changsheng said slowly: "On the day when Jasper Silk saw the world, there was a fire in the silkworm room, but the fourth old lady seemed to know that this would happen, so he was not in the silkworm room on the day of the fire, and immediately divided the "Silkworm Notes" into two, and also explained a lot of things to my father. It's just that I didn't think that the four old ladies didn't escape in the end, and the day after the fire in the silkworm house, the four old ladies accidentally drowned. ”

In just a few words, Mo Li felt a layer of sweat in his palms and his throat was dry.

"Murder?"

Lu Changsheng didn't speak, just sighed.

Mo Li raised his eyes: "Who did the other half of the "Silkworm Notes" hand it over?" ”

"He is also a steward next to the fourth old lady, but on the day the fourth old lady drowned, he disappeared. Later, my father and I searched for many years, but we couldn't find him, and now we don't know whether he is dead or alive. It's just because of his disappearance that my dad has been safe all these years. ”

"Why didn't you give the Silkworm Notes to my father back then?"

"The fourth old lady left a message, the six-catty young master is an only son, and he is honest and gentle by nature, and the clan is eyeing this mulberry garden, so he doesn't want the six-catty young master to take risks. If the young master has a queen, and his descendants are interested in taking over the mulberry garden, he will give this book to the descendants of the six-catty young master, but he didn't think about it......"

"But I didn't think that my Mo family would be extinct when I reached my generation." Mo Li said silently, but there were tears in her eyes, and after a long time, she asked again, "Did you know these things before my father passed away?" ”。.。
