Chapter 46: The Helper

Mo Yunxi no longer has to wear the "wrong end" similar to modern high heels. She's enough to run and jump like a boy. After a sharp pain, she felt the joy of regaining the freedom of her soul, but at the same time she felt a deep sense of shame like losing her virginity.

She lay on her side on the bed, her two slightly red and swollen feet resting on the edge of the kang. Her tears were not yet flu, and they were dripping down one by one.

The door creaked. Mo Yunxi glanced sideways, and it was his eldest brother who came in.

Mo Yunxiao came in with a somewhat heavy heart. Her two sword eyebrows were twisted into hills, looking like the blue waters of a lake wrinkled by the wind.

"Yunxi." She sat down lightly beside Mo Yunxi, with a hand on her shoulder.

Mo Yunxi didn't speak, still lying like that.

Mo Yunxiao looked at her feet and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Yunxi snorted and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”

"It's really hard for you." Mo Yunxiao covered her feet with a quilt and said, "I know it's not easy for you to make this decision. I Mo Yunxiao is sincerely grateful. ”

Yunxi glanced at her, sighed faintly, and said, "It would be nice if Huan'er was here." ”

This sentence aroused Mo Yunxiao's sorrow. Her eyelids drooped, as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was responding to Yunxi's words, "Yes, it's good that Huan'er is here." That way, you don't have to rush to put your feet on it. ”

"No!" Yunxi sat up suddenly, looked at Mo Yunxiao with a solemn face, and said, "Even if Huan'er is here, I have to let it go." ”

Mo Yunxiao was a little surprised and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Yunxi paused and replied, "There are countless rich daughters in Tokyo, and not everyone is bound to their feet. The woman with bound feet is indeed weak and windy when she walks, and she looks very good. But few people know about the pain they endure, and every step hurts. In the past, I had Danzhu and Yunxiang had green jade, but now we have no one to serve us, and it is even more painful to walk, so it is better to put it early. ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled sadly, held her hand and said, "I originally planned to comfort you, but it seems that there is no need." ”

She said so, but the desolation in her heart did not dissipate in the slightest. She looked at Yunxi with tears in front of her, feeling guilty.

"Knock knock!" There was a sharp knock on the door. Mo Yunxiao looked back and saw the shadow of a man outside the door, so she asked, "Who is it?" ”

Sure enough, it was Zhou Laosi, and he replied: "Big girl, come and see, see who is back!" ”

Zhou Laosi's tone was mixed with a bit of excitement. Mo Yunxiao's heart was also moved, but she still calmly Fu Yunxi lay down to rest and went out alone.

The moon was hazy that night, and the dilapidated lanterns gave off a faint glow. Under the old tree in the courtyard, Li Xianmo, Yun Xiang and Zhang Yun'er were surrounding a person. They chattered.

Mo Yunxiao walked over slowly, accompanied by Zhou Laosi. As the distance shortened, her breathing grew more rapid.

"Where do you suffer? The Buddha appeared, but let us see it again. ”

Before Li Xianmo's words fell, Mo Yunxiao had already leaned over and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is it?" ”

The man heard Mo Yunxiao's voice and came out of the crowd, just in time to meet Mo Yunxiao's eyes.

"Cuckoo?" Mo Yunxiao screamed in surprise.

The cuckoo's hair was disheveled and her face was haggard, but her eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance. "Big girl!" She screamed in grief, and then fell to her knees, covered her face with her hands, and began to cry.

"Cuckoo! What are you doing! Mo Yunxiao hurriedly helped her up and asked, "After the Minglou was copied, where did you go?" Why did you get out again? ”

The cuckoo cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Mo Yunxiao squatted beside her and kept comforting her. "It's okay, it's okay, it's going to be bitter......"

"Big ...... Girl! She cried and screamed, and threw herself directly into Mo Yunxiao's arms, still crying.

Li Xianmoth and the others also secretly became sad. Zhang Yun'er thought to herself: "I didn't expect that after the change in my family, there would be such a loyal subordinate." Mo Yunxiao must have been around a lot of people. ”

The cuckoo cried for a while before his mood calmed down. She looked at Mo Yunxiao, then at the few people around her, and then said, "I was kicked out." ”

"What's going on?" Mo Yunxiao asked.

"After the house was raided, our female dependents were recorded by the government one by one, and then distributed and sold to the dental shop. Green jade and Danzhu were the most miserable, and they were sold into the 'Ghost Fan Building' of the Cao Gang. ”

"Ghost Fan Tower?" Mo Yunxiao bit her lip and said hatefully: "It's Ghost Fan Lou again!" ”

The cuckoo nodded and said, "That place is small, and it is drowsy and smells all day long. Those who go there to have fun are the slender men on the canal, the lower riba people, and they are filthy. Alas, I really don't know what sins Danzhu and Green Jade will suffer. ”

Hearing this, Yun Xiang couldn't help but feel sad that the rabbit had died and the fox, turned around and crawled on his mother's shoulder and cried.

"What about you?" Mo Yunxiao hurriedly asked.

"Compared to Danzhu and green jade, the small one is good, and it was only sold to a brothel outside the Suzaku Gate." Du Juan said: "Although the brothel here is Beiqu, it is much better than the Ghost Fan Tower. ”

"How do you ......" Mo Yunxiao was a little puzzled: "Is the brothel still divided into southern and northern songs?" ”

"Yes." The cuckoo looked up and saw Zhou Laosi, and couldn't help but blush. Zhou Laosi was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "I'll go to the kettle of hot water and make tea for the cuckoo girl." ”

When Du Juan saw him leave, he calmly explained: "The brothels in our Tokyo city are divided into Nanqu and Beiqu. Nanqu is a high-class brothel, which is only patronized by high-ranking officials and nobles. The girls here are also good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Of course, the appearance is also excellent. It's just that they are not pure servants with Israel, and often chant poems with guests, but they are elegant. ”

"Oh......" Mo Yunxiao nodded and said, "I understand." The northern song is not as elegant as the southern song, and it is just a place to do the leather and meat business. ”

"Ahh Zhang Yun'er suddenly screamed, and said to Du Juan in a questioning tone: "Then have you lost your body?" If you lose your body, our Mo family doesn't want it. ”

The cuckoo shook his head again and again and said, "Second grandmother, the little one is still innocent and has not been defiled. ”

"Since you have gone to Beiqu, how can you keep your innocence?" Zhang Yuner refused to believe it.

Cuckoo explained: "Since the little one entered the door of his house, he washed his face with tears all day long, and refused to see anyone. The woman was angry and wanted to give me to a family member as a concubine. But the family has a wife. His wife was jealous, and when she saw the little one, she beat him with a stick and drove the little one out. ”

She turned her head again and said to Mo Yunxiao: "The little one went around and around, and I heard that you opened a teahouse here, girl, so I came here." ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of teahouse is it, it's just a simple tea stall." ”

The cuckoo shed tears again and said, "As long as the big girl is there, there is hope for the tea house." ”

Zhang Yun'er laughed and said, "In the past, when the tea house was prosperous, the maidservants of the family could afford to raise it. It's just that there are no rotten tiled houses in the world that don't leak, and now we can't afford to make a maid. ”

Hearing her words, she had the meaning of sweeping the cuckoo out of the house, and the cuckoo was stunned at first, and then hurriedly said: "The little one has been taken care of by the big man since he was a child, and there are doorways in the account room and soliciting customers." The second grandmother, the little one will never be called the Mo family's white raiser. ”

Zhang Yun'er had a straight face and said, "Won't Helu do these things?" Won't Mr. Zhou do it? Now that there is a Mr. Zhou in the family, it is very difficult, how to increase the population? ”

The cuckoo had to turn his head to look at Mo Yunxiao. Her face was already crying, her eyes were red and swollen, and her tears were mottled with tears.

"It's rare that you are so affectionate, I won't drive you away." Mo Yunxiao said.

Before Du Juan could thank her, Zhang Yun'er said first: "Helu, you are really a big hand." If you have spare money, why don't you go to Renyazi to buy a maid and come back, why do you have to force your two female brothers to let go? Now that Yunxi's feet have been released, but you want to add people, what are you going to do? ”

Mo Yunxiao raised her head and glanced at her, and asked, "Second grandmother, will you use the calculation?" ”

"What...... What? Zhang Yun'er was a little confused, so she had to smile disdainfully and said, "How can I use those things?" ”

"I won't use it either." Mo Yunxiao lowered her head and looked at the cuckoo again, and said, "We have Dr. Tea, and we have the 'Bad Guy' who greets people, but there is no account room. The cuckoo came at a good time, and it solved my urgent need. ”

"Girl." The cuckoo cried and spoke, and once again threw herself into Mo Yunxiao's arms, crying with a whimper.

Zhang Yun'er was even more angry, and couldn't help but cross her hands on her waist and asked, "Okay!" The account room is a cuckoo, you are a bad guy who welcomes guests, and the surname Zhou is Dr. Cha. What about Yunxi? Will she have to wrap her feet again? ”

"Yunxi, I have my own arrangements." Mo Yunxiao hugged the cuckoo and answered Zhang Yun'er's words while rubbing her back.

Zhang Yun'er became angry, her crossed hands did not put down, and began to pace back and forth. She wanted to be a wicked person and save money by driving the cuckoo away. But now that she has become a bad person, not only did she fail to drive people away, but on the contrary, Mo Yunxiao even attracted people's hearts, and the anger in her heart can be imagined.

At this time, Li Xian Moth also came up, squatted down and said, "It's naturally good for the cuckoo to stay." However, our family is not as good as before, and food and housing are all problems. Helu, you have to think carefully. ”

"Well, that's a pressing problem." Mo Yunxiao thought for a while and said, "Du Juan will definitely share the hardships with us, and he will definitely be able to endure hardships with us." Two meals a day, gruel and cooking cakes, as for the residence...... The cuckoo is also a girl, so it's inconvenient to live outside, so let's live in our house. ”

"What?" Zhang Yun'er's anger could not be contained, and she pointed at the room with a trembling hand: "Helu, look, how many people do you have to stuff into this room where the palm is bigger?" Besides, how can there be a reason for a maid to sleep with her master! ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled slightly, helped up the cuckoo who was crying silently, and said, "That shop can't be squeezed in, but you can also sleep on the ground." It's going to be hot in the blink of an eye, and I'm comfortable sleeping on the ground. ”

Du Juan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with some embarrassment: "The second grandmother is right, the master and slave should not sleep in the same room." ”

Mo Yunxiao covered her mouth and said, "Don't mention any master and slave, I have never treated you as a slave." You are the bookkeeper of our Ming Building, in charge of money, which is equivalent to the household book of my Great Song Dynasty. You say, will the official family treat the household book as a slave? ”

The cuckoo couldn't help but laugh, and quickly covered his mouth and said, "The girl is telling jokes." ”

Zhang Yun'er snorted heavily, and went back to the house angrily. I only heard a muffled sound of "bang", and the door was slammed shut by her.

Du Juan was a little afraid, but Mo Yunxiao held her hand tightly and said gently: "Don't be afraid, I am in charge of this family now." ”

At this time, Zhou Laosi also brought a bowl of hot tea over for Du Juan to drink. The cuckoo took the tea with some trepidation and said, "Mr. Zhou, now that the leaves are precious, why can you brew them for me at will?" ”

Zhou Laosi smiled bitterly and said, "It's all tea foam, the tea guests don't want it, it's a pity to throw it away." ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled, and then said, "He will grow our tea building in the future, and I will invite you to drink good tea." When it comes to the day, huh...... In a month, we drink West Lake Longjing for the first ten days, Xiaolongtuan for the middle ten days, and Jasmine from Xishu for the last ten days! As for the fragrant forest and white clouds, we all use them to rinse our mouths, so we can't drink them. ”

The more Du Juan listened, the more surprised he became, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, and laughed with Mo Yunxiao.

Li Xianmoth looked at it from the side, feeling that these two girls looked like masters and servants, and they were clearly a pair of sisters with deep feelings. She glanced at the room, thinking of the three girls of the Mo family bickering all day long, and admired and felt guilty for Mo Yunxiao.

"Helu, let the cuckoo drink saliva and rest for a while." Li Xian Mo felt a little like talking, but she was still seen by Mo Yunxiao.

"Hmm." Mo Yunxiao let go of the cuckoo's hand, walked to a remote place with Li Xianmo, and asked, "What does the third grandmother have to say?" ”

Li Xian Moth looked at Zhou Laosi and Du Juan sideways, and said, "Helu, don't blame my old woman for being too talkative. The cuckoo can certainly share the burden for you, but adding someone always adds a burden. At present, business in the store is sluggish, and all the people who come are vulgar tea customers. It's already indecent for a girl of yours to go out to solicit customers, and now if you want a female accounting room, I'm afraid someone will ......" She deliberately lowered her voice and continued: "Say that our family is in the brothel business. ”

Mo Yunxiao sighed and said helplessly: "Adding one person is adding a burden." I don't know why. It's just that the cuckoo is affectionate and righteous, and he is the old man of our family, so he can't be driven out. ”

Li Xian Mo nodded, agreed, and said, "Having said that, there is no teahouse in this Tokyo city where women welcome guests outside. ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled lightly, glanced at the cuckoo secretly, and said, "Third grandmother, do you know what differentiated competition is?" ”

"Differentiated competition?" Li Xian Mo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”
