Chapter VI
When Mo Ling returned to Zhuyitang, it was already dawn. After leaving Xiaozhu Courtyard, Mo Ling also stopped by to visit Shopkeeper Li. Seeing Shopkeeper Li, Mo Ling took out two paper packets from his arms, handed them to Shopkeeper Li and asked, "Shopkeeper Li, where did you buy these two Thousand Days Drunk?"
Shopkeeper Li hesitantly took the paper bag, his face was embarrassed, "Mo Ling, this thing is not easy to do, do what we do, can we not reveal who the owner of the goods is." ”
"Whether things are good or not, it's not all about Shopkeeper Li. Mo Ling didn't want to deal with Shopkeeper Li, so he went straight to the point and said, "You tell me the name of the owner, and I won't tell anyone else." ”
"This ......," shopkeeper Li hesitated, "you don't want to get involved." ”
As soon as Mo Ling heard this, he immediately understood what Shopkeeper Li was afraid of, so he smiled calmly: "Shopkeeper Li thinks too much, you taste the goods inside first, and I am sure that I will not say such things again." ”
Shopkeeper Li sniffed the paper bag suspiciously, his face suddenly brightened, and he raised his head to look at Mo Ling, "It's not a top grade." ”
"It's good that Shopkeeper Li understands, if he really wants to meddle in the business of a thousand days of drunkenness, he won't pick this kind of crude product. How can the shopkeeper Li now tell the name of the shipper?"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Shopkeeper Li smiled happily and put the paper bag into his arms, leaning into Mo Ling's ear and whispering a name.
"Listening to this name, the owner of the goods is a woman? These two thousand days of drunkenness are from her?"
"Shhhh Shopkeeper Li made a silent gesture, "To say that this person is very mysterious, she never comes forward to trade in person, and I don't know much about her situation, Mo Ling, if you want to find her, it will take a little effort." ”
For a period of time after that, Mo Ling didn't run around again. During the day, he helped Takechiju take care of his business, and at night he went back to his room to talk to Fuqin about what had happened recently. In the dead of night, I might rush back to Jingshan to take a look at Mo Qingyao, and then sneak back to Zhuyitang before dawn. And so the days went by little by little.
Until one day, Mo Ling, who was helping to catch the medicine, suddenly thought of something, and asked Zhu Qianzhong, who was not far away, "Your father went to the west to collect medicine, when will he come back?"
Zhu Qianzhong counted with his fingers, "He's been gone for half a month, and he will be back in a few days, do you have anything to do with him?"
"It's not a big deal, just ask when you think about it. After Mo Ling finished speaking, he buried his head in grabbing the medicine, and after about half an hour, he looked up and asked, "Then do you recognize a woman named Qing Kite?"
"Who are you talking about?" Takechiju didn't hear clearly, so Mo Ling repeated again, "Sunny kite, sunny day, paper kite's kite." ”
"I don't know," Takechiju shook his head, "I've never heard of it." What does this man do?"
"I don't know, maybe it's -- selling medicine. Moling shrugged her shoulders, "I wonder if you'll know her." ”
"If it's a medicinal herb business, Dad might know—no, Brother Moling, you should know better than us about the business after so many years outside. ”
"I haven't been in business for a few years, and I've almost broken off my connection with this, and the herbs are being renovated so quickly that it's no longer as good as it used to be. ”
"Is it so fast?" Takechishige looked puzzled, "I feel very rare to come across a new medicine." ”
"Haha...... I'm afraid it's not the same thing that the two of us said," Mo Ling waved his hand and smiled, "Forget it, if you don't know, I'll wait for your father to come back and ask him." ”
A few days later, Zhu Qianzhong's father really drove back to Qinglong City, and was surprised and happy after seeing Mo Ling in Zhu Yitang, and regardless of unloading the medicinal materials on the carriage, he took Mo Ling's hand and began to ask questions, which made Mo Ling both a little flattered and a little at a loss.
"You've been doing well all these years, Mo Qingyao's little girl, I haven't seen her for some years. You still live in Mirror Mountain, why don't you move to Qinglong City? Old man Mo went early and left the two of you to rely on each other, which really hurt you. Father Zhu asked a lot of questions in a row, and Mo Ling could only take advantage of Father Zhu's words to answer briefly. When Father Zhu finally knew that Mo Ling was now doing things for Nandouxing, a layer of worry appeared on his face, "I don't know much about Nandouxing, but listening to others, he is scheming and not easy to guess, you must be more careful when you work with him." ”
"Brother Qianzhong has already told me this, Uncle Zhu can rest assured, Ling'er will definitely pay attention. ”
Father Zhu nodded with satisfaction, "Of course I am at ease with you, you are far superior to your peers in what you say and do, sometimes even Old Man Mo and I can't sigh, but Mo Qingyao's girl is still young, you have to take care of it more, she is the only seedling left in Old Man Mo's family - hey, look at my mouth, you just said this as Uncle Zhu didn't say it." ”
"It's nothing," Mo Ling smiled slightly wryly, "That's the way it is, I never had any other thoughts, my father's kindness to me back then, I should repay Yao'er." ”
As soon as Mo Ling's words came out, Father Zhu sighed: "When my family can have one-tenth of your talent, I will be able to hand over the family business to him with confidence." ”
Mo Ling hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhu is serious, Brother Qianzhong can support Zhu Yitang's business on his own now, and he will definitely be able to do it in the future." ”
"Oh?" Father Zhu heard this, went around to the counter and flipped through the account books of the past half a month, and found that things were as Mo Ling said, during the period of his absence, Zhu Yitang's business did not fall at all. Father Zhu's face was pleasant, but he said, "You must have helped him a lot, right?"
"Where, if you want to help, it should be Brother Chie who has helped me a lot. Moling shook his head repeatedly.
Zhu Qianzhong, who couldn't stand it on the side, stepped forward and snatched the account book at this time, and said: "Business is still mediocre, what's there to see, Dad, hurry up and unload the medicinal materials in the carriage, don't let it become moldy." Zhu Qianzhong said, while pushing and shoving Zhu's father outside the store, after coming back, Zhu Qianzhong sighed and said to Mo Ling: "My father is like this, you don't know, you don't need to pay too much attention to him." ”
"Haha......" Magic Ling smiled a little bitterly, "I don't think there's anything - a little bit of envy, rather." ”
"Envy?" Takechiju thought he had misheard, "what's there to envy about this." ”
"It's nothing," Magic Ling shook her head, "since your father is back, then I can't stay here for a long time, and I'll go out for a while after I ask Qing Kite about it." ”
"You can live with me," Takechiju quickly stopped as soon as he heard that something was wrong, "If you feel inconvenient, there are two empty rooms upstairs, and you can live in it if you clean and clean." ”
"I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid it's not a matter if I stay here for a long time, besides, there was a box theft a few days ago, maybe I've been targeted by someone, I need to go out and think of a way. ”
Zhu Qianzhong saw that Mo Ling insisted on leaving, and knew that he couldn't keep it, so he said: "It's really troublesome for you these days, if you weren't here to help, I wouldn't be too busy to live." I said those words to my father, don't take it to heart. ”
"Hey, I still don't understand," Mo Ling smiled and patted Takechiju's shoulder, "We've been friends for so many years, and it's long past the time to say these words." ”
Mo Ling's words seem to be open-minded, but in Zhu Qianzhong's ears, there is a heavy feeling. Thinking of the scene of Mo Ling going out and leaving, Zhu Qianzhong suddenly felt that if he went to say goodbye, I was afraid that he would not know when he would be able to see him again. Thinking of this, the corners of my eyes turned out to be a little moist. Seeing this scene in Mo Ling's eyes, he was startled, and said that he had said something unacceptable, which made Brother Qingworm think of something else.
