Chapter 122: I Met the Immortals
The boxes were opened one by one, and the contents were all-encompassing, including pairs of glasses, small silver scissors, enamel snuff bottles, gold-painted tea trays, quills, five-colored cloths, magnifying glasses, gold and silver coins, wool blankets, and lacquered knick-knacks.
What Mo Li liked most was a small chiming clock and an enamelled gold-plated pocket watch, and since she got here, she had to convert the hours to the time she was used to, and with these two things, she didn't have to count the hours anymore.
The quill is also Mo Li's favorite, although she practiced calligraphy in her previous life, and she is far less comfortable writing with a brush than with a hard pen.
Looking at Mo Limei's smiling appearance, Yu Mingxi's mood also brightened.
"Mingxi, these are all bought from Nanyang merchants?" Mo Li asked, fiddling with his pocket watch.
Yu Mingxi nodded: "They have a lot of strange things in their hands, I picked some for fun." ”
"Hey, what is this?" Mo Li pulled out a large piece of foreign cloth from a box, on which the winding colored lines connected the blocks and dots of different shapes, and marked with many letters.
"I came from their ship, it looks so good, it can be used as a curtain." Although Yu Mingxi lowered her voice, she was still heard by Ruoping, who was at the tip of her ear, and she pursed her lips disdainfully, glancing at Yu Mingxi with the eyes of a thief.
Mo Li didn't pay attention to the interaction between the two of them, and all his energy was focused on the piece of foreign cloth, and he raised his head for a while and pulled Yu Mingxi into the hall.
"Hey, Moxi, lightly, your sleeves are about to be ripped off by you!" Yu Mingxi staggered and was pressed onto the chair by Mo Li.
Ruoping felt strange, and instructed Xu Dazhuang to take someone to move the box to the warehouse, and followed him into the hall.
"Do you know what this is?" Mo Li spread the cloth on the table, and his eyes motioned for Ruoping to close the door.
Yu Mingxi touched his chin: "Isn't it just a piece of cloth, why are you so mysterious." ”
"Fool, you stole someone's charts." Mo Li pointed to the picture and said, "Look, this is our Great Zhou, this is the sea, and these dotted lines are the waterway." Through these waterways, you can reach what you call the South Seas, and behold, this is it. ”
"How do you know?" Yu Mingxi asked in surprise.
"That's what it says!" Mo Li pointed his finger at the lower right corner of the cloth, "There are also some things that need to be paid attention to when sailing. ”
Yu Mingxi looked at the picture and then at Mo Li: "You...... How can you read this? ”
Mo Li suddenly reacted, it was all in English, and she, a little woman from the Great Zhou Dynasty, said that she didn't understand, but the words had already come out, so she could only bite the bullet and say: "I don't know what's going on, anyway, I just understand." ”
Ruoping also looked at Mo Li with the same gaze as a celestial man: "Miss, do you understand all these twists and turns?" ”
"Well," Mo Li nodded, "I think it may have something to do with my fall off the cliff, so I don't remember a lot of things before I fell, but I remember a lot of things that have nothing to do with my previous experience." ”
"Did you have some adventure when you fell?" Yu Mingxi guessed, "Which immortal did you meet and teach you the secrets?" ”
Mo Li has a black line, this guy's brain is too big, but she was inspired by it, and followed Yu Mingxi's words: "Maybe, anyway, I was dizzy at the time, and I forgot what kind of immortal I met." ”
Ruoping has never believed in any ghosts and gods, but what is happening in front of her is really strange, and she secretly thinks in her heart, is there really a god in this world? And let the young lady meet?
"Don't worry about this for now, this nautical chart is put away, and it will be of great use in the future." Mo Li quickly pulled the topic back.
"What's the use?" Yu Mingxi's eyes lit up, "Moxi, you don't want to use this picture to go to sea, right?" ”
"It's not impossible, if this map is accurately marked, we can also form a fleet and directly do foreign trade."
Yu Mingxi nodded: "That's a good idea. This picture is in the captain's house, I think it should be accurate. ”
"Miss, he stole someone's picture, will they not be able to go back?" Ruoping asked worriedly.
"Can you talk nicely this girl, what do you mean by stealing? I took it in my hand. And the master only took the small one on the table, and the big one hanging on the wall didn't move at all. Yu Mingxi retorted dissatisfiedly.
"I'll think about this later, and I'll put it here first." Mo Li interrupted the two people who wanted to quarrel again, and poked Yu Mingxi with his finger, "When are you going back to Huaiqing?" ”
"Ye wants to stay in the capital for the time being." Yu Mingxi raised her eyebrows, "How is it, Moxi, isn't it a surprise?" ”
"Surprise you," Mo Li threw a big roll of his eyes, "What are you staying in the capital for?" ”
"It's not that people want to spend more time with Moxi." Yu Mingxi looked aggrieved, like a little daughter-in-law who was angry.
"You've just hooked up with the Nanyang caravan, but you can't just lose your business." Mo Li persuaded bitterly, "Your family is originally a dart game, what a convenient condition, if you just give up, what a pity, don't you say?" ”
"But ......"
"Don't be, good, my sister is still pointing to you to make a lot of money." Mo Li rubbed Yu Mingxi's head like a pet, was glared at viciously by Ruoping, and reflexively withdrew his hand.
Yu Mingxi's gorgeous appearance quickly reached Mo Jinyu's ears, and when he trotted all the way to Ruolixuan, he was just in time for Xu Dazhuang and a few small servants to move the boxes to the warehouse.
Mo Jinyu casually lifted the lid of a box, and was immediately attracted by the strange things inside: "Where are so many good things?" ”
Xu Dazhuang hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the painted wood carved duck that Mo Jinyu was holding in his hand: "This is Miss's, don't break it for the second young master." ”
"Jinyu, why are you here?" Mo Li heard the voice and walked out of the house with Yu Mingxi, Mo Jinyu under the corridor didn't answer his sister at all, and looked up and down at Yu Mingxi, who was wearing a plain white robe, and asked, "You caught my sister's dart just now?" ”
"It's a silver needle, and it's much more difficult than catching darts." Yu Mingxi raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile on the corner of his lips.
"Jin Yu, this is the young owner of the Zhen'an Dart Bureau, Yuming Xiyu, the son." Mo Li introduced.
"The Town Security Bureau? I've heard that it's a place where there are many masters. Mo Jinyu's eyes widened in surprise, and then he slammed into the end, "Jinyu has seen Yu Gongzi." ”
Yu Mingxi smiled heartily: "Jin Yu doesn't have to be so polite, just call me brother." ”
"Brother Yu, can you tell me about your dart walk?" Mo Jinyu's attention successfully shifted from those boxes of things to Yu Mingxi's body, and he pulled Yu Mingxi's sleeve with a look of adoration.
"Okay, let's go sit in the garden." Yu Mingxi took Mo Jinyu's shoulders and walked towards the garden.
Mo Li is full of black lines, and Mo Jinyu, a stinky boy, doesn't take her sister seriously at all.
