Chapter 21 The right to host the birthday banquet
"What a good girl." Old Madam Li held Mo Xiaoqi's hand and kept praising her. I only thought in my heart that such a good girl was just right for her grandson.
"Grandma, I'm already married. There is also a child the size of a pea. Mo Xiaoqi's confession made Mrs. Li feel sorry.
"You've already made a promise? Hey, that's a pity. Old Madam Li patted her hand regretfully.
"Grandma, Xiaoqi hasn't had lunch yet." Zhao Hongyi reminded.
Only then did Mrs. Li react, she was full, but Mo Xiaoqi and Zhao Hongyi were still hungry.
"Well, have lunch, have lunch."
After a while, the maids began to serve the dishes with their dishes.
Mo Xiaoqi looked at the table, it was all greasy and fishy, and it was not so delicious, no wonder Mrs. Li had a bad appetite.
"Eat, good boy." The more Mrs. Li looked at Mo Xiaoqi, the more pleasing she became, and she took a chicken leg from the plate and put it in the bowl.
Mo Xiaoqi smiled in return: "Thank you, grandma." ”
After this meal, Mo Xiaoqi finally finalized the specific details of the birthday banquet, and the time was set for a month later.
Just when the maids were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Mrs. Li wanted to get up, but the maids didn't have time to help, stood up and sat down suddenly.
"Grandma, are you alright?" Zhao Hongyi hurriedly got up to check the situation. Seeing that Mrs. Li was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandma, how long have you been in bad legs?" Mo Xiaoqi had an idea in her heart, she wanted to make a wheelchair for this kind and lovely grandmother.
Mrs. Li waved her hand and said helplessly: "It's been many years, and when it rains, my waist and legs hurt, and I can't touch it, as if I have a needle in this bone." ”
Once a person is old, his body is prone to all kinds of problems, especially bone problems.
"Grandma, you need to take more calcium and exercise properly. Pay special attention to your diet. Mo Xiaoqi thought about his grandmother's arthritis in his previous life, and blurted out words of concern.
But obviously, Mrs. Li and Zhao Hongyi were at a loss.
"Calcium? What's that? Zhao Hongyi frowned, convinced that he had never heard this word.
Calcium, how to explain this thing?
"It's a substance that is necessary for human bones, and the lack of this substance will make the bones sick." Mo Xiaoqi's simple explanation made Zhao Hongyi feel novel.
"Then, according to what you said, grandma is deficient in calcium now, so she needs to supplement calcium, but how to make up for it?" Zhao Hongyi threw this question to Mo Xiaoqi.
Mo Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me." ”
Because she still needed to take care of the affairs of Kelaixiang, Mo Xiaoqi said goodbye to Mrs. Li, and before leaving, Mrs. Li took her hand and was reluctant.
"Xiaoqi, if you have time, you must come to see my old woman."
Mo Xiaoqi looked at Mrs. Li, whose eyes were red, and couldn't help but redden. The grandmother in the previous life was also a widow all her life, and until she died, she was a person.
She has always regretted that she was not able to be by her grandmother's side, perhaps, now is the opportunity given by God so that she can make up for it.
"Grandma, don't worry, I'll come to see you tomorrow, and I have to give you calcium." Mo Xiaoqi's words made Mrs. Li turn her worries into joy, she really likes this girl, just like her granddaughter.
Zhao Hongyi volunteered to send her back to the guest to Xiangxiang, and the two sat in the carriage and rushed all the way back.
"You seem to be very idle as a county magistrate." Mo Xiaoqi felt very embarrassed to be speechless, so he had to find a topic casually.
"Fortunately, only Zhang Dou's case is already clear, so I'm waiting for the opportunity to take down the prisoner." Zhao Hongyi disagreed, he would win the An family sooner or later.
"Then go and sit down, I have something to ask you." Mo Xiaoqi thought that if he wanted to make a wheelchair, he had to have drawings first, so he turned his head and asked, "Is there paper and pen on the carriage?" ”
Zhao Hongyi was stunned for a moment, and only said: "Who do you think will put the four treasures of the study on the carriage?" ”
"That's just as well." Mo Xiaoqi sighed, "I originally thought that Mrs. Li's waist and legs were not good, and she had to walk weekdays, and she would go out in a sedan chair and shake it, thinking that she would make a transportation tool that could be easily controlled and easy to go out." ”
"Oh?" Zhao Hongyi raised his eyebrows, obviously didn't expect her to have this thought, "Is there such a means of transportation?" ”
"Of course, I'll draw it for you when I get back to the store later." Mo Xiaoqi smiled, thinking in his heart that he had to implement this matter quickly.
The carriage clattered back to Kelaixiang, and the two got out of the carriage and got into Bai Xi's counter.
"White shopkeeper, borrow a pen and paper." After Mo Xiaoqi finished speaking, he directly took out the pen and paper.
But holding the brush, she was stunned. She is really not good at this thing.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Hong thought that she didn't move, and also stopped grinding the ink, "It's okay, if you can't think of it for a while, you can slow down." ”
Mo Xiaoqi shook his head and said embarrassedly: "No, I just don't know how to use a brush." ”
After speaking, she had an idea, put down the brush and ran to the back kitchen: "Hongyi, you wait for me for a while, and I'll come when I go." ”
"Lord Zhao, what's wrong with Boss Mo?" Bai Xi asked in a low voice.
Zhao Hongyi pursed his lips and explained: "Maybe it's because I won the right to host Mrs. Li's birthday banquet, so I'm a little excited." ”
"What? Lord Zhao, what did you just say? Bai Xi's eyes widened, surprised and delighted, if he didn't hear it wrong just now, his own Boss Mo had won a big business.
"Kelaixiang, I want to host the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Li Mansion." After Zhao Hongyi finished speaking, he saw the smile on Bai Xi's face getting bigger and bigger.
"It's incredible, it's incredible." Bai Xi rubbed his hands together and walked back and forth in front of the counter.
Everyone knows that Mrs. Li has a special identity, although she doesn't know the specific situation, but they all know that every time she celebrates her birthday, dignitaries and nobles will come to congratulate her.
Even some princes and nobles who were far away in the capital would send congratulatory gifts.
"What are you talking about? White shopkeeper, why are you happy to be like this? Is your wife pregnant again? Mo Xiaoqi came back from the back kitchen, and when he saw Bai Xi's happy appearance, he couldn't help but tease.
"Oh, this is my mother's pregnancy so much happier." Bai Xi stopped and walked back and forth, and let Mo Xiaoqi enter the counter, "Boss Mo, did we really host the birthday banquet of the Li Mansion?" ”
"Hmm." Mo Xiaoqi nodded in affirmation, "When I went, I met the eldest young master of the An family, but he didn't even get into the gate." ”
"That's right, the Li Mansion is not something that can be entered casually." Bai Xi reacted for a while, "Then Boss Mo, how did you get in?" ”
Mo Xiaoqi looked at Zhao Hongyi and said with a smile: "Thank you Hongyi for your help, I was lucky again, and I won the right to undertake." ”
"It's you yourself who have a good heart." Zhao Hongyi smiled back, and in an instant, Bai Xi saw some strange feelings in it.
