Murong Jingzhong never worried about his son's marriage, he was already the father of two children when he was like Murong Chu.

But since Murong Chu's mother died, he has separated a lot from himself, and the father and son occasionally correspond, but Murong Chu's letter is more like an official document, and there is no personal emotion in it.

Seeing that Murong Jingzhong didn't speak, Lu Shi, who had always been good at observing faces, knew that if she continued to ask, it would inevitably cause him to be dissatisfied, so she stopped talking and talked about other topics.

After being silent for two days, Mo Li decided to put his troubles behind and start a new life, so he took Ruoping to Dongshi Street.

Walking into his own grocery store, Mo Li couldn't help frowning, the door of the shop looked relatively shabby, and the inside was even more messy, although there were many types of goods, it was a little disorganized. A half-sized guy dozed off a pile of brooms, and next to it were several jars of pickles with open mouths.

Ruoping wanted to go over and wake up the guy, but Mo Li waved his hand and went straight out of the grocery store.

"Miss, this guy is too disagreeable, he sleeps there in the middle of the day, and the shop is not cleaned up, where will there be business. The shopkeeper should be called out and cleaned up. Ruoping was very angry.

Mo Li only sighed slightly: "If the shopkeeper is willing to use some heart, the shop will not be like this, don't worry about it for now, I know it in my heart." ”

The master and servant walked around the street for a while, and Ruoping suddenly lowered his voice and said in Mo Li's ear: "Miss, someone is following behind, don't look back." ”

Mo Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked forward with Ruoping casually, and when they arrived at the mouth of an alley, the two quickly turned in.

Ruoping protected Mo Li behind him, and Fifteen and Seventeen had already appeared beside them at some point.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, and the three men quickly turned into the alley, and before the three of them could see the situation in the alley, Fifteen had already raised his leg and kicked one of them to the ground and trampled under his feet, and grabbed the other with his hand.

Seventeen went straight to the big man in the lead, and after two moves, he choked the throat of the comer: "If you move again, you will die!" ”

"Big ...... Miss! It's me! The big man squeaked.

Mo Li poked his head out from behind Ruoping, and the three people who were captured were all wearing dirty and torn clothes, and their hair was messy, but the sound was somewhat familiar.

Ruoping stepped forward and pulled away the messy hair in front of the big man's forehead with one finger: "It's really you!" Miss, it's that stupid big one. ”

"Let them go." Mo Li glanced at Fifteen and Seventeen, and as soon as the three bound people were released, they knelt down in front of Mo Li and shouted "Miss" in unison.

"Get up, don't kneel at every turn." Ruoping knew that Mo Li didn't like others kneeling down to her, so she kicked Xu Dazhuang, "Why did you come to the capital?" Why are you following my young lady? ”

The three of them stood up, and Xu Dazhuang shook it to the end: "We don't want to follow, we came to Beijing to find Lord Mo and Miss Mo, because we looked at the elephant on the street, so we followed." ”

"What are you looking for me and my brother for?" Mo Li asked.

Xu Dazhuang arched his hand again: "Miss Hui, the prefect was forced to do such an act because I was forced to do so, and we were released after a month's hard labor." If it weren't for the kindness of the eldest lady and Lord Mo, where would there be our lives. Since Da Zhuang's life was given by the adults and the eldest lady, Da Zhuang is willing to be a slave to repay the adults and the eldest lady for saving their lives. These two are brothers who grew up in one of my villages, so they came together. ”

"What happened to the other villagers? And what about that prefectural order? Mo Li suddenly remembered Yang Defa who bullied the people in Zichuan County.

Xu Dazhuang shook again: "Back to the eldest lady, Yang Defa's crime is indeed true, the prefect has taken him into custody, confiscated all his family property, and is just waiting for the autumn queen to behead." Now Zichuan County has changed a new county ordinance, resettled the villagers, and exempted this year's taxes. ”

Mo Li smiled and nodded: "Isn't that great, you should also go back to the village and farm the land to live." If it is flat, give them twenty taels of silver to wrap around. ”

Xu Dazhuang knelt on the ground again when he heard this: "Miss, the three of us are fatherless and motherless, and now that everyone in the village has been settled, we have nothing to worry about, and I hope that the eldest lady will take it in." ”

The other two also knelt down and kowtowed: "Miss, what we have is strength, as long as we give us food, let us do anything, just leave us." ”

"What are you doing here? I've all said don't kneel at every turn! Ruoping pulled this and that, but the three of them just refused to get up.

The corners of Mo Li's forehead twitched, these three people are really tendons, but they came all the way to repay the gratitude, which is quite touching. With a slight turn of thought, he said:

"Okay, you guys get up, come back to the house with me first, and see what my brother has to arrange."

"Thank you, Miss!" The three of them kowtowed again before they stood up happily.

Mo Li went out for a walk, picked up three people and went home, and sent the little maid to take the three down to wash and change into clean clothes.

When Mo Jinhua returned home, he saw Mo Li standing at the door of the front hall, with three young people on his side, in addition to Ruoping.

"Lord Mo!" The three of them took a few steps forward, knelt down and kowtowed.

Mo Li thought to herself, these three people are still addicted to kneeling.

Mo Jinhua looked calm: "Xu Dazhuang, why are you here?" ”

Xu Dazhuang kowtowed upward, said what he had said to Mo Li again, and added a sentence, "The eldest lady has agreed to let us stay in the house." ”

"In that case, let's go down first, and then I'll arrange work for you later." Mo Jinhua ordered the little servant to take the three of them down, turned his head and asked Mo Li, "Xi'er, do you want to leave them behind?" ”

Mo Li nodded: "Originally, I wanted to give them some entanglement and send them back to their hometown, but these three people refused, so they had to stay in Mo Mansion." ”

"What is Xi'er going to let them do?" Mo Jinhua seemed to see that Mo Li had already made arrangements for these three people.

Mo Li tilted his head and smiled: "I can't hide anything from my brother, I want them to go to our shop to be a buddy." ”

"Brother, recently I have turned around all the shops run by our family, although these shops do not lose money, but the business is not much better, and some of them are barely able to keep their capital. These shops were supposed to occupy good places, but they did not produce their due value. ”

"When did Xi'er become interested in these?" Mo Jinhua frowned slightly, "How did you know how to do business?" ”

Mo Li rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "My mother asked me to learn how to be a housekeeper with my sister-in-law, brother, I have no interest in housekeepers, but when I was in Xidaying, I did a little business with Mu Qingyun, so I want to do a good job in our shop." ”
