"That's right, Brother Ershun, it's much better than before." Mo Li praised.

Ershun scratched his head embarrassedly: "Uncle Qiao always says I'm stupid." ”

"It's not very dexterous." Lao Qiao knocked the cigarette ash in the cigarette pouch pot and refilled the new tobacco leaves, "However, this kid is willing to work hard, and in another year and a half, he can stand alone." ”

Mo Li raised her eyebrows: "Oh? If this is the case, if Quanweilou opens a semicolon in the future, it will be possible to let Ershun take care of it. ”

"Is this true?" Ershun asked with wide eyes.

"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you." Mo Li said.

"When the time comes, it depends on whether he can do it, but he can't let him smash the signboard of Quanwei Building." Old Joe added mercilessly.

Ershun nodded vigorously: "Miss, Uncle Qiao, don't worry, I will study hard." ”

Mo Li looked at Lao Qiao, then at Ershun, rolled his eyes, and asked, "Since you have been learning from Uncle Qiao, why didn't you worship Uncle Qiao as your master?" ”

Lao Qiao's face was calm, but Er Shun rubbed his hands a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, I have long had such thoughts, but I am afraid that Uncle Qiao will not look down on me, so I dare not mention this matter to his old man." ”

"Uncle Qiao, what do you mean?" Mo Li asked Lao Qiao again.

In fact, what she thought was that Old Joe was alone, although he was only in his early fifties, but there would always be a day when he was old.

When that time comes, she and Murong Chu will naturally place him for the elderly, but if there is no one relatives around them, it will not work after all. One day as a teacher, a lifelong father, Ershun is a loyal and honest man, if he becomes Lao Qiao's apprentice, he will definitely take care of him until a hundred years later.

Lao Qiao glanced at Ershun: "People didn't mention it, do you want me, an old man, to take the initiative to accept apprentices?" Besides, he's still a stupid apprentice. ”

Mo Li pursed her lips and smiled, why didn't she see it before, Lao Qiao, an old guy who doesn't smile, is also a tsundere?

"Master, are you really willing to accept me?" Ershun looked at Lao Qiao excitedly.

"The master has been called, how can there be any reason not to accept it. Isn't it, Uncle Joe? Mo Li asked with a grin.

Lao Qiao put the cigarette pouch behind his waist and gave a salute to Mo Li: "Since the eldest lady has spoken, I will accept this apprentice." ”

"Master, please accept the apprentice!" Ershun knelt on the ground and simply kowtowed three times.

Mo Li covered her mouth and snickered, this fool is really real.

"Ershun, you can't just kowtow a few times. You have to let the shopkeeper arrange a time to formally worship the teacher. ”

"Cheng, I'll go to the shopkeeper!" Ershun got up from the ground and rushed out directly to find the shopkeeper.

"Thank you, Miss." Old Qiao arched his hand, "I know that the eldest lady is doing this for my good, and Ershun is a good boy, I will definitely teach him well." ”

Lao Qiao is a smart person, so he naturally knows Mo Li's intentions, not so much to let him take in an apprentice, but to help him find someone who can support him in his old age.

Mo Li smiled slightly: "Uncle Qiao, don't be polite." I haven't cooked in a long time, come and help me check it. ”

It was almost dusk when Mo Li finished her work, she returned to the private room on the top floor, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Murong Chu sitting at the table, playing with the tea cup in his hand, thoughtful.

Seeing Mo Li coming in, he beckoned to her: "Come here." ”

"What do you think?" Mo Li sat down beside him and poured a cup of tea to drink.

Murong Chu leaned over, and Mo Li hurriedly flashed to the side: "What are you doing?" ”

"Going to the kitchen again? The smell of oily smoke all over the body. ”

It turned out that he smelled his own body, not to plot wrong.

"I'm going to change my clothes." Mo Li got up to go to the inner room, she came to Quanwei Building, and sometimes went to the kitchen to study the dishes, so Murong Chu asked people to prepare a few sets of clothes and put them in the inner room.

"I don't dislike you." Murong Chu took her hand, "Talk to me." ”

"I don't like myself, wait a while, and I'll be back soon." Mo Li patted him on the shoulder and turned to go inside.

When she was changing her clothes, Ruoping had already brought in all the prepared dishes with her guys, four dishes and one soup, all of which were light flavors that Murong Chu liked.

After the meal was arranged, Ruoping withdrew with interest.

The corners of Murong Chu's lips hooked slightly, it seems that today should be the little girl's own cooking.

He got up and went to the door of the inner room, and as soon as he stood still, the door opened, and Mo Li hit him headfirst.

"Oops!"

Mo Li covered her sour nose and said angrily: "It's okay, why are you so hard!" It hurts me to death! ”

Murong Chu looked down at the chest that had just been hit, burst out laughing, and said, "I'm a man, of course I'm not as soft as Li'er." ”

"You ......" Mo Li's cheeks didn't know if it was because of shyness or because he was hit just now, and the two red glows blurred.

"Look at it for your husband, has it been broken?" Murong Chu lowered his head, wanting to look at Mo Li's nose.

This can't be blamed on him, although Mo Li is also tall among women, but he is too tall, Mo Li can barely pass his shoulders, just now because of the hurry to come out, he lowered his head and hit his chest.

Murong Chu was originally a martial arts practitioner, and when he was suddenly hit, his muscles tensed reflexively, so his already strong pectoral muscles were as hard as an iron plate.

Thanks to his quick reflexes, he took half a step back, otherwise Mo Li's nose wouldn't just be sore.

After a while, Mo Li finally got better, and Murong Chu served the soup and sent it to her: "Drink some soup first, it is estimated that it will be better." ”

Mo Li squinted at him, what kind of fallacy is this? Could it be that the soup she made still has a pain-relieving effect?

However, for the sake of the soup he served with his own hands, he still took it and drank a small half bowl.

Murong Chu saw that her face was a little better, and hurriedly began to prepare vegetables for her, which made Mo Li embarrassed.

Although it was very common for boys to take care of girls in the previous life, this is ancient times after all, not to mention a first-class general with a prominent status like Murong Chu, even a man from an ordinary family is very rare.

Mo Li also put some vegetables in Murong Chu's bowl: "You eat, don't worry about me." How about a taste? ”

"It's been a long time since I've eaten Li'er's cooking, and I really miss it!" Murong Chu said.

The corners of Mo Li's mouth twitched, just eat, why are you so lyrical?

She didn't make a sound, Murong Chu didn't say much, and the meal was quiet.

Ruoping came in and cleaned up the dishes, re-brewed the hot tea, and then withdrew again.

Only then did Murong Chu speak: "Li'er went outside the city today to see the situation of the victims? ”

Mo Li nodded, and said that he wanted Quanweilou to build two more porridge shacks outside the city.

At the end, he said: "There is not a lot of silver in the accounts of Quanwei Building and Linglong Pavilion, and I gave Yu the shopkeeper five thousand taels of silver tickets today." ”

"When it comes to money, Li'er is in charge." Murong Chu didn't have any special reaction.

Mo Li stuck out his tongue: "You won't think I'm a loser, right?" ”
