Chapter 131: Making Money to Support His Family, Looks Like a Flower
The rough fingers swiped over the delicate little face, bringing Mo Li a tingling feeling, and suddenly remembered the scene on Chinese New Year's Eve, when he wiped his face, and he was so gentle at that time, wiping her face clean little by little, and hugging her into his arms for the first time.
"What was Li'er thinking?" The warm breath hit his face, which made Mo Li, who had lost his mind for a moment, wake up, and there was a handsome face in front of him, and those deep eyes sucked himself in like a bottomless black pool.
"General...... Mo Li squirmed his lips, "Actually, I really don't have anything to do with Yu Mingxi." I'm just partnering with him to do some business. ”
Murong Chu was silent, and his eyes that couldn't see his emotions continued to look at Mo Li, as if waiting for her to continue.
Mo Li cleared his throat: "Ahem, that ...... I took the silver you put in Ruoping and sold it to the merchants in Nanyang and made some money. I want to continue working with him. ”
"Is Li'er short of money?" Murong Chu frowned, "I used to want to make money and run away from me, but now?" What to do with money? ”
"No......" Mo Li was a little embarrassed when someone mentioned the past.
"Is that Li'er trying to earn more dowry for herself?" Murong Chu urged a narrow way.
Mo Li slammed a pink fist on his chest: "Don't talk nonsense, who is going to earn a dowry." ”
Murong Chu grabbed the chaotic little hand and sat beside her, holding the person in his arms: "I don't need Li'er's dowry, just Li'er's people." ”
Mo Li struggled for a while, but to no avail, he could only lean into his arms and say, "People are telling you serious things." Yu Mingxi brought a lot of strange things this time, and I want to open a shop to sell these things. In the future, we can sell the things of the Great Zhou to the merchants of Nanyang, and we can also buy some Nanyang gadgets from them to sell, which is a double profit. ”
"Also, if we can build a fleet of ships on our own in the future, we can also sail across the sea to do business like the merchants of the South Seas."
"Originally, Yu Mingxi should have left the capital and returned to Huaiqing a few days ago, but because of my mother's business, I didn't have time to discuss the specific details with him, so he delayed until now."
"Did Li'er think it was so easy to go to sea?" Murong Chu finally waited for Mo Li to say a lot before he spoke, "There have been people who have tried to go to sea, but none of the people who went out have come back. ”
"That's because they're not familiar with the conditions at sea." Mo Li took advantage of Murong Chu's unpreparedness, broke free from his arms, and got off the kang, "You wait for me and show you something good." ”
Mo Li took out the nautical chart from the bedroom and held it in front of Murong Chu like a treasure: "General, take a look." ”
Murong Chu took the piece of cloth and looked at it carefully for a moment, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "This ...... Li'er, what is this? Where did it come from? ”
"The nautical chart that Yu Mingxi gave me."
"Nautical charts?"
"That's right." Mo Li nodded proudly, pointing to the map and explaining the names and routes of each place one by one.
Murong Chu looked at her with a surprised expression: "Li'er, how can you understand what is on this?" ”
"I don't know, I can understand it anyway." Mo Li said vaguely, "It's just that the accuracy of this picture has yet to be verified, so I want Yu Mingxi to return to Huaiqing as soon as possible." ”
"Li'er, I know that you are different from ordinary women, if you are confined in the courtyard of the deep house, you will definitely be suffocated. But......" Murong Chu wanted to say that he didn't want her to get too close to other men, but after a slight pause, he changed his words, "However, I don't want you to work too hard." Li'er just needs to be happy and carefree every day, and leave the rest to me. ”
Mo Li was happy, but she pursed her lips and didn't speak.
"What are you laughing at? Am I not right? ”
"The general reminds me of a sentence: you are responsible for making money to support your family, and I am responsible for being beautiful like a flower?"
"Oh?" Murong Chu frowned slightly, "It's true that Li'er is as beautiful as a flower, but I can raise Li'er without making money." ”
Mo Li pursed her lips, it was certainly good to be praised for her beauty like a flower, but how could this guy have no sense of humor at all: "How much money you have is yours, I don't want to be a rice worm." Besides, my mother asked my sister-in-law to teach me to be a housekeeper before, so why can't I live up to my mother's expectations? ”
As soon as she thought of Yu's family, Mo Li's heart rose with sadness, and her shoulders collapsed involuntarily: "My mother said that if you marry someone in the future, even if you don't be a housewife, you must take care of your own small family." Now that my sister-in-law has handed over the Mo family's shop to me, I have to make an appearance. ”
Murong Chu couldn't see Mo Li's sad appearance, and when he saw her sad, his heart also throbbed.
"Li'er, if you want to do it, do it."
"Really? General, you're so good! Mo Li was suddenly in a cheerful mood, raised his head and looked at Murong Chu with burning eyes.
"Okay, you're tired, get some sleep, I'll send someone to tell Yu Mingxi and ask him to come back tomorrow." Murong Chu rubbed Mo Li's little head.
Mo Li knows best how to accept it when she sees it, and it is not wise to meet Yu Mingxi in front of Murong Chu, so she nodded obediently and called Ruoping to come in and serve her back to the bedroom to rest.
The next day, he told Yu Mingxi about his plan, and with the success of the porcelain and tea business last time, Yu Mingxi now believes in Mo Li's business acumen that is 200%, and immediately said that he will leave for Huaiqing on the same day.
In the next few days, Mo Li was busy reorganizing the situation of the Mo family's shop. She had to settle down the shop selling imported goods before sending Yu's coffin back to her hometown for burial, and when she came back, Yu Mingxi's goods should also arrive, and she could officially open at that time.
This afternoon, Mo Li, accompanied by Ruoping, came to the grocery store on Dongshi Street again, Xu Dazhuang's two fellow villagers Xu Minglang and Xu Ermao were arranged here to apprentice, sure enough, these two people are smart, the grocery store is not only much cleaner than the last time I came, but also the placement of items is much more orderly.
The shopkeeper of the grocery store was not in the shop, Xu Ermao wanted to go to the shopkeeper's house to find him, but Mo Li didn't let him go, like this kind of person who doesn't do things well, she doesn't want to use him anymore, and it doesn't matter if she can't see it.
instructed Xu Minglang and Xu Ermao to take good care of the shop, and Mo Li took Ruoping out of the grocery store.
"This shopkeeper is really hopeless, this has sent a newcomer over, and he is still not concerned about business at all as before, miss, you don't care?" Ruoping muttered dissatisfiedly.
The corners of Mo Li's mouth hooked slightly: "For that kind of person who is hopeless, why bother to care about him." ”
Ruoping seemed to understand something, and nodded thoughtfully.
The master and servant walked around the Dongshi Street for a while, under the scorching sun, they couldn't help but be a little thirsty, Ruoping pointed to the tea shop in front and said, "Miss, go to the front and rest." ”
