Chapter 43 Borrowing Money

Zhang Yun'er put away her crying. She raised her tearful eyes and looked at Li Xianmo, seeing that her eyes were sharp, and she had a kind of momentum of not being angry and arrogant, she was timid for a while, and she didn't dare to say more.

Mo Yunxiang hurriedly said: "We still have some rain!" If Shi Yu is on our side, we are three to three. Besides, Zeng Shumian is a member of the imperial court, how can there be a reason to blast out the guests who are invited to the door. ”

Zeng Bu's face was embarrassed, and he was busy expecting Ai Ai to say, "Hey...... Yes, the second girl is not wrong. Helu is Yuru's confidant, and should be my confidant, and I must not let everyone go out in such a hurry. ”

"Humph! The second female brother is really shameless! Yunxi scolded Yun Xiang and said, "Zeng Shumi took us in because he looked at the face of the eldest brother and Mrs. Wei, how can you speak!" ”

Mo Yunxiang's eyes widened, and he was about to say a word in return, but Mrs. Wei preemptively said, "Don't argue, everyone." ”

She walked to the middle of everyone, smiled and said, "What Helu said is reasonable, and what the second girl said is affectionate." One is reasonable, the other is sentient, and it is indeed difficult to choose. Why don't we reconsider? Even if they have to leave, they should have a proper arrangement, and they must not let the three girls and the two grandmothers suffer. ”

Mrs. Wei's words were polite and courteous, and there was no dispute between the two parties. Mo Yunxiang glared at Yunxi fiercely, and then turned around and left with Zhang Yun'er in a daze.

That night, Mo Yunxiao and Mrs. Wei were strolling in the garden, but they heard the birds chirping, and the cool breeze was quite pleasant.

"Helu, I should be mad at you." Mrs. Wei said this, and sat down on the stone bench by the pavilion. Mo Yunxiao was stunned, sat down too, and asked, "How did Yuru say this?" ”

"You have superb painting skills, you don't let the officials, and you can compare me to writing lyrics and poems." Mrs. Wei said in a somewhat disgusted tone, "But you never mentioned it, have I never gone to your heart?" ”

Mo Yunxiao lowered her head and smiled, and said, "Yuru, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just my family...... As you know, although I was the eldest daughter in the family, my father always only let me learn how to do business and did not allow me to draw. So over the years, there has only been forbearance, and even you have been hidden. But I hope you don't blame me, you should be considerate of my difficulties. ”

These words were sincere and could not help but move Mrs. Wei. She gently held Mo Yunxiao's slightly cool hand and said, "Helu, it's me who is too villainous." Alas, but when it comes to your family, it's really hard to say. ”

"You also saw ...... today" Mo Yunxiao shook her head with a wry smile, and unconsciously regarded this Minglou Mo family as her own home. She said: "Our sisters and aunts all have their own thoughts. Yunxiang and they want to stay in your house for a long time, how can this work? Alas, it was her father who didn't teach her well, so that she was so shameless. ”

Mrs. Wei groaned, "I can't blame her. After this catastrophe, the immortal peach on the high branch suddenly fell into the quagmire, and no one could stand it. Yunxiang's mother and daughter were afraid that they would have no food or clothing when they went out. ”

Mo Yunxiao nodded and said, "So I'm going to go out even more." Before his death, my father asked me to put the sign of the tea house back up. I can't disobey. Moreover, I will also settle accounts with the people who harm our family one by one! ”

"Helu!" Mrs. Wei called her nervously, and said with a worried look, "It's not me who poured cold water on you. You are the people, and Qiu Feng is the official. Behind him is Kaifeng Mansion Yin. Behind Kaifeng Mansion Yin is Zai Zhi Zhangdun. How do you fight him? ”

Mo Yunxiao frowned, and asked rhetorically: "According to Yuru's meaning, my father's revenge can't be avenged?" ”

Mrs. Wei was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Of course, revenge must be avenged." It's just that I don't want you to take risks. ”

"Don't worry, Yuru." She stood up, looked at the flowers in the garden that had not yet bloomed, and said, "However, I would like to ask Yuru to do me a favor." ”

"What?" Mrs. Wei asked.

Mo Yunxiao turned to look at her and said with a smile: "My maid Huan'er doesn't know where she was sold by her teeth, can you help me find it?" ”

"This ......" Mrs. Wei hesitated slightly, but seeing Mo Yunxiao's frank expression, her heart was full of pride, and she slapped the table and said, "Okay!" Even if it's the end of the world, I'll help you get Huan'er back. ”

"Thank you, Yuru." Mo Yunxiao came up, held her hand tightly, and said, "I want to revive the family business, and Huan'er is my best helper." ”

Mrs. Wei smiled, "I want to give you another gift." As she spoke, she took off a jade bracelet in her hand, handed it to Mo Yunxiao and said, "This bracelet was given by the Queen Mother, and it is priceless." If you take it, you can redeem it for at least five hundred dollars. Then you will have the confidence to revive your family business. ”

Mo Yunxiao pushed his hand and said, "No, Yuru." I understand your kindness. It's just that I'm on my own. ”

"On your own?" Mrs. Wei was a little puzzled and asked, "How to rely on the law?" ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that I can still write and draw?" I can take it out and sell it! It's just that it costs you to order the ink block, you won't feel distressed, right? ”

Mrs. Wei laughed, pointed at her and said, "You're an elf worm!" However, even if it is a good painting, it is not worth a hundred yuan, how much do you have to sell to open a store? ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way." ”

At the end of the next morning, the sky was bright, and only Zeng Bu went to the court in a sedan chair. Mrs. Wei sent her husband away, yawned as she walked through the corridor, and was about to go to sleep again, only to find Mo Yunxiao dressed neatly and about to go out with a scroll.

Mrs. Wei rubbed her eyes, hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Helu?" Where are you going? ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled and said, "I'm going to meet an old friend." ”

"Old friends?" Mrs. Wei looked up at the still dark sky and said, "Why do you have to be so early? ”

"Not early, I still have a lot of things to do today. Yuru, you have heavy dark circles under your eyes, go back to sleep. After she finished speaking, she smiled, and went on bypassing Mrs. Wei.

Also sleepy-eyed is Chu Yuanwai. He hadn't slept well since he heard that the Mo family had been raided. If it was just Mo Yunxiao's life or death, he didn't care very much, but what he cared about was whether Mo Yunxiao and the Cao Gang with his joint support would be affected.

And if only the canal was affected, it would not be a big loss for him. But the real big loss is a big business done by the Cao Gang, that is, "Ghost Fan Building".

"Ghost Fan Building" was made by the Cao Gang, but it was Chu Yuanwai who gave financial support behind it. Therefore, he was very afraid, he was afraid that because of the copying of the Mo family, there would be a series of chain reactions. He was afraid that the city gate would catch fire and the tragedy that would happen to him, and he was even more afraid that Mo Yunxiao would confess himself, which would be a big trouble.

These days, Qiu Feng and Zhang Chun don't come to him anymore. He couldn't get any information when he wanted to find out, so he was even more anxious.

At this time, he was sitting alone on the stargazing tower, looking at the city of Tokyo, which had not yet awakened.

He watched as sleepiness hit, and when the dream was about to unfold in front of him, suddenly a servant woke him up: "Master, Miss Mo is here!" ”

Chu Yuanwai was startled and hurriedly asked, "Who is here?" ”

"Miss Mo." Said the servant.

Chu Yuanwai was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Which Mo girl?" ”

"Naturally, it's Mo Yunxiao, a big girl." The servant replied.

"Huh?" The surprise was no small feat, and he fell straight from his seat to the ground. "Oh sir!" The servant was also startled and hurriedly helped him up.

"Mo Yunxiao! Mo Yunxiao! She...... Isn't she locked up? He panicked and said, "She must have come to ask for her life!" She must have come to ask for her life! ”

Mo Yunxiao came upstairs. She took off her hat and said with a smile: "I'm not dead yet, how can I come to ask for my life?" ”

"Ahh You ......" Chu Yuanwai was even more frightened when he saw her, and hurriedly said: "Don't come here, don't come over......

Mo Yunxiao approached step by step and said, "Outside, I brought good things to show you, why do you want to refuse people for thousands of miles?" ”

Mo Yunxiao's smile was like a flower, and her tone was the same as before.

And at this time, a pinch of sunlight pierced the clouds and passed through, shining on Mo Yunxiao's body. Chu Yuanwai could see clearly that Mo Yunxiao under the sun was like a god, with a circle of gold trim on the edge of her body.

He was shocked for a while, but he still stood up with palpitations and circled around Mo Yunxiao twice. Mo Yunxiao stood straight in place, not moving. She just glanced at her and asked, "What do you want to see?" ”

"Oh, you're still alive." Chu Yuanwai stroked his chest and complained, "Miss Mo, you scared me to death." Didn't you hear that your whole family was copied? How did you get out? ”

"I'd rather touch Kaifeng Mansion than Mo Yunxiao." She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "How can a small Kaifeng Mansion trap me?" ”

Chu Yuanwai smiled and said, "The girl is really good." But you must have come to me early in the morning for something important? ”

"It doesn't really matter." Mo Yunxiao paced two steps, sat on the bamboo chair, held up the scroll and said, "It's just that I have a painting that I invite outsiders to taste and taste." ”

"Oh?" Chu Yuanwai glanced at her suspiciously, then walked over and took the painting. Two servants also came up and unveiled the painting.

Chu Yuanwai looked at it and couldn't help but be taken aback. This is a landscape painting, and the center of the picture is bamboo. These bamboo paintings are all very proud, all of them are looking up to the sky. The bamboos in the painting are of different heights and are scattered, and it can be seen that the author has quite a calligraphy skill, and the painting of these bamboos is extremely expressive.

Chu Yuanwai looked at it carefully, and a pair of eyes seemed to have fallen into a painting and couldn't pull it out.

Mo Yunxiao looked at it in her eyes, she was happy and ashamed. She was glad that she had come to "knock on the bamboo pole" and succeeded, but she was ashamed that the original author of this painting was Zheng Banqiao, a genius of the Qing Dynasty, which made her feel a strong sense of guilt.

"Good painting! Good drawing! Chu Yuanwai couldn't help but clap his hands in surprise: "I don't know whose Mobao this is?" ”

Mo Yunxiao said with a smile: "This picture is called 'Mozhu Map', and it is naturally a senior master." Although my home was copied, I am glad that this picture was not searched. Well, I can't hide it, so I'm going to come and dedicate it to Chu Yuanwai. ”

Chu Yuanwai's heart was full of joy, and he hurriedly said: "Miss Mo really looks up to me. At this time, you can still remember me. Hurry up, serve tea to the girl! ”

"The outside is elegant, the little sister knows." Mo Yunxiao said: "Outsiders also know that my family has suffered, and the whole family has no food and clothing. If the staff can make it convenient and help the little sister with some money, the little sister is grateful. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yuanwai's heart tightened, and some fluttering hearts calmed down.

"Miss Mo has a wide range of friends, and I heard that Zeng's wife is friends with you." Chu Yuanwai asked: "How can the girl be willing to seek the near and far away and not go to her to borrow money?" ”

"Outsiders should know that Zeng Shumian is a member of the imperial court. I am a family member of a sinner, and they naturally want to avoid suspicion. Mo Yunxiao said: "Now that they are avoiding me, how can they help me?" ”

Chu Yuanwai thought about it carefully, and then asked: "Then I don't know how the girl got out of the tiger's mouth?" ”

Mo Yunxiao's face sank, and she asked rhetorically, "What?" What do outsiders suspect of me? Are you afraid that I won't pay back the money I borrowed? ”

"No, no, no." Chu Yuanwai sighed and became embarrassed: "Don't blame the girl, it's just that I am a small people, if I make a mistake, I am afraid that it will also be a disaster!" ”

"Huh." Mo Yunxiao stood up and said, "Do you know who is going to copy my house this time?" ”

"I heard it's Qiu Yuhou."

"Yes, it's him." Mo Yunxiao paused, and then said, "If I come out and don't come out, isn't it also a matter of his words?" ”

"Huh? This ...... "Chu Yuanwai is still like falling into the clouds, I don't know why."

Mo Yunxiao forced up and said, "Tell me honestly, it was not me who came to borrow money this time, but Qiu Feng." If he wants to get me out, he naturally has to go up and down. The little sister showed a little sincerity, so she brought calligraphy and painting to this experience in person. If the outsiders don't believe it, then I have to go back. ”

She said that she was going to collect her paintings. Chu Yuanwai hurriedly shouted: "Slow and slow!" Mo Yunxiao stopped and listened to him continue.

Chu Yuanwai pondered for a moment and said, "I know that Miss Mo has great powers, but my money has not been able to turn around recently......

Mo Yunxiao suddenly turned around and said to him with a smile: "You have to think twice, you should know that behind me is Qiu Yuhou now." Behind Qiu Yuhou is the master of Kaifeng Mansion, Yin Sheng. And behind Master Sheng is Master Zai Zhizhang. Behind this chapter, the old man ......"

"It's an official!" Chu Yuanwai interrupted her words and waved his hand again and again: "Okay, okay, the old man understands." Otherwise, according to the law of our court, the sin of fugitives will never be forgiven. The fact that Miss Mo can stand in front of me is proof of this. Okay, good, girl, I bought this painting. I'm afraid that 500 guan is not enough, I will add another 200 guan, and I hope the girl will not be surprised. ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled faintly and said, "The staff is polite." If you say that you borrowed it, you can't afford not to pay it back. This painting is a little bit of Qiu Yuhou's heart, and it was given to outsiders. ”

When she had finished speaking, she instructed her servants: "Go and get a pen and paper, and I will make a note." ”

The servant got a nod of acquiescence from Chu Yuanwai and went to get something.

Mo Yunxiao wrote the note with a few strokes, and finally filled in Qiu Feng's name. Chu Yuanwai also added his own name.

"Well, thank you for your generosity. Three months later, Qiu Yuhou will come to repay the money. Mo Yunxiao said and turned to leave.
