Chapter Ninety-Four: On Fire

"Why?" Mo Zhi has always wondered why she thought she would fight.

An Xian explained: "Look, what has the government done recently? Recruiting troops and horses, hoarding grain and grass, do you think it's really so simple just to suppress bandits? ”

Mo Zhi frowned: "You mean, they have already gotten the news and started preparations?" Who said this? Li Ke even told you this? ”

"On the contrary." An Xian cleaned up, took a basin of water and soaked his feet in: "I told him, I just reminded him, and when I turned around, Lord Dai will move, what do you think it means?" ”

This shows that even Master Dai feels that it is very likely to fight, and Mo Zhi's expression became solemn: "Could it be that there is really going to be a war this time?" ”

"I'd rather believe it." An Xian sighed lightly: "Anyway, Old Man Yu is Lord Dai's father-in-law, Lord Dai will definitely not sit idly by, I just let you mention it, after all, Master Yu has helped us so much, we can't treat it as not knowing, just take care of ourselves, if the old man insists on not listening, then there is no way." ”

Mo Zhi nodded: "Then I'll try, this Nanyao, I'm afraid it's going to be too peaceful." ”

"Internal worries will inevitably cause external strife, Nan Yao is rotten from the roots, Qiu Yu has been eyeing him all the time, how could he miss this opportunity?"

Mo Zhi really started to take it to heart this time, looked at Mo Qingyuan, who had already gone to sleep, and asked, "Then what are your plans?" Sell the bookstore and leave Yuanyang County? Where to go? Do what? ”

An Xianyi shrugged: "Continue to write books and sell books, don't you want to open a furniture factory?" If it settles down, it will be a good choice, but now the question is, where do we go? Do you have any plans? ”

Mo Zhi's eyes were dark, and after a pause, he suddenly said: "If I have to leave here, I want to go to a place, the capital!" ”

"Beijing?" An Xian wondered: "Although the capital must be the most prosperous, but there are so many places, there is no need to go to that kind of place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is, right?" ”

"There's one thing I've always cared about." Mo Zhi sighed: "My brother went to take the exam six years ago, and there is no news at all, no one knows whether he is dead or alive, the capital is too far away, there is no way to go with his children, and there is no one he knows there, so I have not been able to go to him, take this opportunity, I want to go and see." ”

"I haven't been back for so many years, and I haven't even brought you a letter, I'm afraid it's ......" An Xian comforted: "Since you are worried in your heart, then it's okay for us to look for it, but you still have to prepare for the worst." ”

Mo Zhi's expression did not change: "I know, it's been so long, in fact, it's not strange that there is any result, but he is my brother after all, I don't want to be so unclear, what happened to him, I want to know." ”

This is understandable, An Xian nodded, yes, they all came here, it is reasonable, they should also go to the capital to have a look, even if they don't settle down at that time, it doesn't hurt to find another place.

Except for An Xian, no one is sure that there will be a war, but it does not prevent some people from already hearing some rumors, or those who are more cautious, and they have begun to find a way back for themselves.

Other people either don't have the money to leave, or they are reluctant, and they are not necessarily going to fight, even if they do, they are still in the country, and they may not necessarily attack the city, and most people still have a fluke mentality.

After discussing with An Xian, Mo Zhi also made up his mind, no matter whether it would really start a fight or not, since he had decided, he didn't think about it so much, in addition to working harder to make money, he did take Yu Chengyan's matter to heart.

An Xian, she received a hundred sets of newly printed books one after another, and sure enough, the sales were much slower, and she was not in such a hurry now, if she wanted this book to be passed on for a long time, it was not possible only in this place, since she decided to go to the feet of the Son of Heaven, that place could have her usefulness.

"Ahn Hyun!" Yu Xiuxin will find her to sit from time to time, Dai Ling has been too busy recently, and she is too bored to stay in the house.

"Coming?" An Xian personally poured her a cup of tea: "The one in your family has no time to accompany you?" ”

Yu Xiuxin nodded: "I've been busy suppressing bandits or something recently, leaving early and returning late." ”

"Didn't tell you anything else?"

Yu Xiuxin raised her eyebrows: "What else?" ”

"It's fine." An Xian smiled and didn't mention it again, anyway, Dai Ling would plan for them, so she didn't have to worry about it herself, besides, among herself, they wouldn't have an accident in this war, so she wasn't very worried.

"I heard that you are leaving Yuanyang County?" Yu Xiuxin was a little depressed: "Why do you have to go?" You're gone, I don't know who to turn to. ”

"Looking for your husband!" An Xian smiled: "I think you also know the reason, one, it's for my book, Mo Zhi also wants to find his eldest brother, besides, what if there is a war?" Isn't that planning ahead! ”

"If you want to go, I can't stop you, Dai Ling also said, you went to the capital, if your book can be sought after by the literati and bachelors there, then it will be truly recognized." Yu Xiuxin grabbed her hand: "But when you leave, I don't know when we will meet again, I am really reluctant!" ”

As soon as An Xian was told by her, his heart was also sour, and he comforted: "We will meet, think about it, your husband was an official in the capital before, even if he was devalued, but the capital still has connections, as long as his merits go up, sooner or later he will be transferred back to the capital, and we will see you in the capital then!" ”

"No one can say for sure, and he doesn't seem to want to go back." Yu Xiuxin sighed: "You must pay more attention after you leave, Dai Ling said that in a place like the capital, although the chance of success is great, but the risk is also great, of course, I believe that with Mo Zhi and your ability, it will definitely be no problem, but after all, it is not as good as Yuanyang County, and the people there are also very shrewd." ”

"I know." The more loyal the power, the more sinister and fierce it is, An Xian said: "But we are different from Lord Dai, but we don't plan to get involved with officialdom, when the time comes, it will be just to do business, and life is not bad, don't worry." ”

Yu Xiuxin nodded, and was just about to speak, when suddenly a person slammed the door, startling the two of them, Qi Qi turned his head to look over, only to see that it was a guy from the printing house, disgraced, and as soon as he entered the door, he said with a panicked face: "Oh no, the printing house is on fire!" ”

An Xian and Yu Xiuxin were both shocked, and An Xian rushed over: "What did you say?" ”

"The printing house, it's on fire." The guy wiped his face: "Now everyone is putting out the fire, but the fire is too big!" ”

Yu Xiuxin hurriedly said: "Quick, let's go now." ”

She came by carriage, Yu Xiuxin got into the carriage, and said to the guy who came to report the news: "You go to the yamen to find the county order, tell him about it, and let him send someone!" ”

An Xian frowned: "How can it be so good?!" ”

Yu Xiuxin's expression also became solemn: "It may be that the guys have accidentally made a mistake, don't worry, let's go and see the situation first." ”

When I arrived at the printing house, there were many people inside and outside, and the people next to me also came to help with buckets, and most of the fire had been extinguished, but looking at this mess, it was basically completely destroyed!

Of course, someone also went to inform Yu Chengyan and Xu Qiao, after all, the property belongs to Xu Qiao, and this time it belongs to Yu Chengyan.

By the time they all arrived, the fire had been extinguished, the factory had become a wreckage, and there was still thick smoke, Yu Chengyan looked at the group of people with gray faces, and scolded: "What's the matter?!" Why is it on fire? ”

The head of the printing house lowered his head: "Before the cause is found, everyone is having lunch, and when they find out, the fire can't be stopped." ”

"Who is it?!" Yu Chengyan looked around: "Who accidentally made a mistake, now there is still room for taking the initiative to admit it, if the people from the government come to find out something, they won't talk about it anymore!" ”

Everyone lowered their heads, no one made a sound, Xu Qiao arrived in one step, she was much calmer, An Xian thought about it, people have already rented out, causing such a big loss, naturally they will be compensated, of course there is no hurry.

"Li Ke." After a while, Li Ke also arrived with someone: "Madam." ”

Yu Xiuxin nodded: "A fire is all burned out, this loss, at least a few hundred taels of silver, the fire will not ignite for no reason, someone must have made a mistake, so I will hand it over to you for investigation." ”
