Chapter Ninety-Two: Returning Home
"Changfeng Restaurant is high in the sky, and it costs tens of thousands of dollars to drink. In front of the Fan Tower, the fish is drunk, and the dragon is boiled and the phoenix is fat and fresh. Zhao Taibai, lead the immortals, and the Yulou Sheng song is the orchestra. Take a leaf from the incense cup of the tea building, and the queen mother will change the garden".
Several children were bouncing around with paper windmills in their hands, and their mouths were still reciting this poem that had been passed down for many years.
The former shop has been renovated, and two workers are stepping on the ladder and are about to hang up the signboard with the word "Minglou" written on it.
In the lobby of the tea building, the furnishings are as usual. The same cubicle, the same tea ornaments, the same tables and chairs.
It's just that things are not people. The guys who would pour hot soup in a different way were gone, and the old mothers in the inner court were gone. Now there are more than a dozen women who are plainly dressed but have good looks.
They were barefoot, and their trouser legs and sleeves were rolled up. They are holding wet rags and basins of clean water, carefully cleaning the floors, corridors, tables and chairs, and other places.
Although they were doing menial work, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces, and there was a lot of laughter and laughter between the cleanings.
Li Xian'e, who was standing at the gate, looked at the word "Minglou" hanging on the lintel, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
She gently covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. "Finally back, Buddha blessed, finally back." She read silently.
Yunxi and Yunze were on both sides of their mother, and they were also a little choked. "If Daddy has a spirit in the sky, he will be very pleased."
"Yes, it's all up to my brother." Yun Ze said.
Green Jade also kept wiping her eyes with her sleeves, gently supporting Yunxi and saying, "The young master is right, all this is the credit of the eldest girl. If there is no big girl, Nu and Danzhu are still in that ghost fan building......"
At this point, it involved her own heartache, and she cried unconsciously.
Danzhu on the side also had some red eyes, shed a few tears, lowered his head and whimpered: "Yes, the kindness of the eldest girl can't be repaid by us as cattle and horses all our lives." ”
Zhang Yun'er glanced at her, and said angrily: "If you want to be a cow and a horse for the eldest girl, then you don't have to go back to our room, how good it is to go straight to the eldest girl's room, and Huan'er's cheap maid is with you." ”
When she said Huan'er, she deliberately accentuated her tone, and a terrifying light flashed in her eyes, and the depth of resentment seemed to be overflowing.
Danzhu also felt that she had said the wrong thing, and said with some panic: "Second grandmother, the slave doesn't dare to have this thought." ”
"Humph!" Zhang Yun'er said coldly: "Whether you dare to have it or not, you understand it yourself, why do you have to tell me." ”
"Slave, slave and maid, ......" Danzhu was sincerely frightened, and immediately lifted her dress and was about to kneel down and kowtow, Yun Xiang hurriedly supported her, turned her head and complained to her mother: "Mother, today is the big day for us to go home, what are you talking about?" ”
"Yes, thanks to the blessing of the Buddha, we can go home, so don't mention the past." Li Xian'e also came over to persuade her.
Zhang Yun'er just let out a cold breath and didn't say anything.
At this time, in the lobby of the Ming Building, Mo Yunxiao was sitting at the central table with a shallow smile. Standing beside her was Huan'er, also smiling.
Sitting opposite the master and servant were Liu Dadao and Yuan Lu. Yuan Lu wrote a contract.
He pondered for a moment, signed his name, and then handed the contract to Mo Yunxiao, saying, "Miss Mo, please take a look." ”
Mo Yunxiao picked up the contract and handed it to Huan'er. Huan'er took it and looked at it seriously.
"He is worthy of being a rich man, spending a lot of money, and keeping his word." Mo Yunxiao said with a smile.
Yuan Lu smiled shyly and said: "I'm ashamed, I have no eyes and no beads under it, and I have harmed Ling Zun in vain, this little compensation is like a drop of water and a river compared to Ling Zun's life." It's really ...... in the next What a ......."
Mo Yunxiao also sighed slightly, but comforted him: "People can't be resurrected after death, but fortunately, the Mo family's family business is still there, and the father has a spirit in the sky, so he should be gratified." ”
Just as they spoke, Huan'er also finished reading the contract. She lowered her head and whispered to Mo Yunxiao, "Girl, no problem." ”
Mo Yunxiao nodded, took the contract and signed it, and then said, "Just copy one more copy." My Mo family is grateful for the generosity of the rich man Yuan. ”
Yuan Lu's round face was flushed with shame, and she said again and again: "Don't dare to be a ...... Don't dare to be a ......"
Liu Dadao looked around, grinned, and said, "Miss Mo is really thoughtful. The emperor asked you to settle the woman in the ghost fan building, and you actually brought people to the tea building. Hehe, does Miss Mo want to turn the tea building into a green building? ”
As soon as she said this, Mo Yunxiao's face immediately changed. Not to mention anything else, the words "Emperor Xiaoer" alone were enough to annoy her, not to mention that he also compared the elegant tea house with the fireworks and willow lane.
When she was about to have a seizure, Huan'er hurriedly pulled her sleeve and signaled her not to act rashly.
She barely swallowed this breath and said, "What does the head of the group have to say?" ”
Liu Dadao said: "There are more than 100 women in the Ghost Fan Building, although some have hanged themselves, but there are still many people who survive. Although the tea building is big, how can it accommodate so many people? ”
Mo Yunxiao's eyes narrowed and asked, "What does the head mean?" ”
Liu Dadao leaned forward, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Miss Mo knows what we want." ”
Mo Yunxiao's face became solemn. She sneered twice and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to be the master." ”
"The girl has a lot of ties with the official family." Liu Dadao smiled: "Can you give it a try?" ”
"No, you can't." Mo Yunxiao unceremoniously rejected the other party. At the same time, her face was already slightly blushing.
But her shyness was not accompanied by snickering, but a kind of annoyance. Liu Dadao's eyes were frivolous, as if he had already seen through her heart, and he knew even more about his feelings than herself.
The feelings that Liu Dadao saw seemed to be the feelings that he tried his best to avoid and get rid of. Every time he mentions Zhao Ji, he always gives birth to a trace of imperceptible waves in his heart.
So at this moment, Mo Yunxiao felt offended by her dignity, and Liu Dadao's next sentence played a role in adding fuel to the fire.
"What? Miss Mo is an ancestor who is worried about the harem and not being allowed to interfere in politics? ”
Mo Yunxiao was stunned for half a second, slapped the table, stood up and shouted, "Liu Tuantou, please respect yourself!" What does the harem have to do with me Mo Yunxiao? If you are so innocent, I will not break with you! ”
Liu Dadao was not flustered, smiled lightly, and said: "Miss Mo is a little calm, Liu has no intention of offending, but I am afraid that the girl will have more concerns." ”
"What can I worry about!" Mo Yunxiao shouted hysterically: "I am innocent with the official family, what harem, what is involved in politics, it has nothing to do with me!" ”
"Girl, girl!" Huan'er hurriedly came to persuade her, and whispered: "If you shout like this again, everyone in Tokyo will think that you have an affair with the official family!" ”
Mo Yunxiao's heart tightened, and then looked at the women cleaning around her, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all tacitly continued to work, as if nothing had happened.
There are also Zhang Yun'er and Li Xian'e outside the door. Although they couldn't really hear their own words, they all looked inside.
Mo Yunxiao was afraid that if they heard something and then went out to spread the rumors, it would be really troublesome.
So she hurriedly gathered her loose hair and sat down again.
"Although I have a few relationships with the official family, but national events have allowed me, a little woman, to put her beak at will?" Mo Yunxiao lowered her voice, smiled helplessly, and said, "Tuantou, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this favor." ”
The smile on Liu Dadao's face remained unchanged, but his tone was mixed with frost: "In this way, the women of the Ghost Fan Mansion will all be dealt with by Miss Mo alone." If there is something wrong, I am afraid that it will inevitably be discussed. ”
Mo Yunxiao frowned, and the anger in her heart was blazing. She also immediately changed her tone: "I Mo Yunxiao haven't seen any storms, Liu Tuantou wants to threaten this matter, it is too underestimating my means." ”
Liu Dadao laughed and said, "Miss Mo is really a middle-aged husband who doesn't let her eyebrows go. Yes, I can't threaten you, but I also want Miss Mo to know that we have never missed anything that we beggars want to get our hands on. ”
Leaving behind this cold sentence, Liu Dadao got up and added: "Farewell", and then strode away.
Yuan Lu was a little embarrassed, and at the same time got up and bowed to Mo Yunxiao, said goodbye and left.
Looking at the backs of the two of them in the distance, Mo Yunxiao was a little flustered. She hurriedly grabbed Huan'er's hand and asked, "What does Liu Dadao's last sentence mean?" ”
Huan'er frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Probably to fight to the death with the Cao Gang?" ”
"Gee, that's a problem." Mo Yunxiao was a little anxious, it was really a wave of just flat and wave after wave.
With Mo Yunxiao's understanding of Liu Dadao, he is by no means a person who releases empty cannons. If he can say such a thing, he will definitely do such a thing.
When Mo Yunxiao was at a loss, people from Zhang Yun'er and Li Xian'e walked in one after another.
Zhang Yun'er was just about to settle down, when a maid who was mopping the floor hurriedly greeted her and said, "Second grandma, slow down!" She wiped the soles of her shoes before letting her into the lobby, and the rest of the people were all average.
However, Yunxi was naughty by nature, and waved his hand again and again and said: "Either or not, no matter how much you wipe the soles, they will be dirty, so it's better to ......."
With that, she took off her shoes and walked in with them in her hands. The maids were all shocked when they saw it, how could a rich girl do this?
Li Xian'e only whispered a reproach, and didn't say much.
Yunxi walked in with his shoes and said with a smile: "Socks step incense steps, hand gold shoes." She quickly ran to Mo Yunxiao's side, hugged her tightly, and said, "Big girl, do you think I can compare to the big and small Zhou Hou?" ”
Mo Yunxiao smiled reluctantly and said, "My female brother is naturally comparable." ”
Yun Xiang said sarcastically: "Then teach the female brother to talk to the official family, and admit you into the palace." ”
"Humph!" Yunxi glanced at his eyes and said, "I don't want to fight with the eldest brother, the official family belongs to the eldest brother alone." ”
"Oops, what are you talking about! See I don't hit you! Mo Yunxiao was also anxious, and reached out to grab Yunxi's armpit, itching her so much that she hurriedly dodged.
Li Xian'e pulled Yunxi aside and reproached: "You are also ignorant, don't you see that your eldest brother is thinking about things?" ”
"What do you think?" Yunxi smiled evilly and said, "Aren't you thinking about the official family?" ”
Mo Yunxiao couldn't cry or laugh, and simply said, "Yes, I'm just thinking about the official family." I think he'll come to me right away. Now you're going to be proud! ”
Yunxi didn't speak yet, but heard a voice from outside the door: "The family business has been reshaped, congratulations." ”
Everyone looked for their voices, and saw a scholar shaking a folding fan and a boy with a slightly short stature standing at the door.
The maids who cleaned the court naturally didn't recognize him, but they only felt that he was unstoppable and unstoppable, and he must not be an ordinary person. But the Mo family knows it, and this is clearly the official Zhao Ji.
At this moment, the Mo family all gasped and stayed for a while before saluting.
Mo Yunxiao was even more flustered, and hurriedly got up and shouted: "Zhao ...... Zhao Gongzi. ”
Zhao Ji walked calmly after being wiped by the maid.
He came to Mo Yunxiao's side with a gentle smile and said, "Mo family lady, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time. ”
"Yes, for a long time...... I haven't seen you in a long time. Mo Yunxiao was extremely embarrassed, and she really wanted to find a crack in the ground and drill directly into it, all the way to the other side of the earth.
"Then ...... you" Zhao Ji saw that she kept her head down, so he also bent down to look at her face and asked, "Is there anything you want to say to me?" ”
Mo Yunxiao was excited, instinctively took two steps back, and said, "You came just in time!" Then he grabbed his hand and ran upstairs.
The Mo family was taken aback, they didn't know why Mo Yunxiao would do such a thing that violated etiquette, Zhang Di was also stunned, and was about to follow, but he heard Zhao Ji hurriedly tell him: "Zhang Di, you wait here!" ”
Mo Yunxiao dragged him to a private room. The maids hadn't had time to clean the place yet, so the tables, chairs, screens, and so on were covered with a layer of fine ash.
Zhao Ji touched the table, twisted the ash, and said with emotion: "Time is easy to get old, it's only been a few months, and it's so dilapidated here." ”
Mo Yunxiao didn't have such leisure. One of her hearts was pounding.
She came to the window, pushed open the window and looked at the bustling market, and said, "I heard Yuru say that you have had a hard time these days. ”
She wanted to start a different topic to divert Zhao Ji's attention.
Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said, "Yes, for King Jian's case." ”
"Even if the three law divisions will try it, won't it be able to get a result?" Mo Yunxiao then asked.
Zhao Ji sighed and said, "Some people in the court want to protect him, but some people want to put him to death." ”
"I didn't expect this to be so difficult to get wrong." Speaking of this, Mo Yunxiao was also a little sad.
Zhao Ji smiled and asked, "You pulled me up, that's what you mean?" ”
"No!" Mo Yunxiao hurriedly turned around and said, "Just now, Liu Dadao came. ”
"Oh?" Zhao Ji said curiously: "So what? ”
He ...... I hope you'll leave the canal in the hands of their beggars. Mo Yunxiao still honestly conveyed Liu Dadao's appeal to Zhao Ji.
