Chapter 16: That's the Arrangement!
Looking at the letter in his hand, Liu Mo frowned.
The old lady is still playing dumb riddles, is the task counted as if I passed or not?
Looks like it's been given.
The Mid-Autumn Festival in Daxia is the same as the Mid-Autumn Festival on Earth, a day for family reunion.
Eating moon cakes, appreciating the moon, literati and ink writers, in a poetry meeting, the fun is endless.
Calling me back at such times feels like treating me like family.
But here's the problem, the letter doesn't explain it!
If you play a scoundrel when the time comes, you will go back and say later, the task is four thousand taels, and you will continue to do it when you go back.
It's almost ten days since I came and went, isn't it a calf!
Not going back?
It's not a solution, I believe it won't be long before Linxian is afraid that the price of ingredients will be raised by that group of sluts.
Moreover, the round-trip transportation is not new, so it is naturally not a long-term solution.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, without ingredients, how can I do this business!
"Fidgety!" Liu Mo sighed secretly. "I don't even have anyone to talk to, so I have to rely on myself."
After thinking about it all night, Liu Mo finally decided to return to Linyang.
Think about everything on the bright side, just rush to the performance of such a dozen days, and Mrs. Zhou will most likely approve of the other grandson-in-law.
After comforting himself like this, Liu Mo advanced three months' wages to Wang Xiaoqi and others in advance, which can be regarded as a benevolent and righteous to them.
Then, I packed my bags, took Zhao Da, and returned to Linyang.
The business of "Jingshui Pavilion", although it is a little reluctant, but Mrs. Zhou herself doesn't want it, what does it have to do with me?
Four days later, Liu Mo and Zhao Da returned to Linyang.
At this time, it was evening, and the sunset dyed the weather red, and also immersed half of Linyang City in the warm red glow.
Walking into the Lin Mansion again, Liu Mo had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
If all goes well, this will be my home from now on.
What Liu Mo didn't expect was that Mrs. Zhou did not summon him immediately, but asked his subordinates to take Liu Mo back to the wing room directly.
Before the sun set, dishes were brought into the room.
Zhao Da is a subordinate, so naturally he can't live with Liu Mo, so Liu Mo is the only one left.
Two days later, it is the Zhongyuan Festival, as the richest man in Linyang City, the Lin family, from the master to the steward, the maid, the nurse, there are hundreds of people up and down in the house, the scale is huge, so it is natural to prepare in advance.
In the past two days, Mrs. Zhou still has no time to see herself.
Liu Mo had to read books, drink tea, and pass the time alone.
At noon on the day of the Midyear Festival, Mrs. Zhou finally remembered herself.
The meeting place is Linfu Garden.
Following the next person to the garden, Mrs. Zhou sat in the gazebo, and next to her, a girl looked up at Liu Mo, and then hurriedly lowered her head.
Liu Mo saw that she gently stroked the hair beside her ears, her pretty face was still clear, with a little shyness, but more calm and indifferent, when the wind blew from the yard, the light-colored beautiful dress gently swayed in the wind.
"Her expression!" Liu Mo's heart was sour.
How do you look like a blind date girl I met when I was on Earth, I didn't like myself, and I was helpless and embarrassed.
Thinking about it, the marriage of a woman in the Great Xia Dynasty depends entirely on the order of her parents, and the words of the matchmaker have no room for her own choice.
Although my Liu Mo is not ugly, he is definitely not a handsome man.
Not only that, but today is the first time we have met, and I can count on her to fall in love with me at first sight?
Adjust your mood and step forward.
"I've seen Mrs. Zhou!" Liu Mo bowed.
"Excuse me, sit down." Old Mrs. Zhou pointed to the stone bench next to Lin Shiqi.
This made Liu Mo have a lot of thoughts in his heart, and deliberately asked me to sit next to her?
Ha, that's nice!
As soon as he sat down, he saw Lin Shiqi subconsciously peeking at himself, and his shy appearance suddenly made Liu Mo nervous.
The old lady smiled, "Shiqi, this is Liu Mo and Liu Gongzi." ”
Lin Shiqi didn't look up, but said, "Oh..."
"How can you be so rude!" The old lady rebuked her.
Seeing this, Liu Mo hurriedly interrupted, "Xiaosheng Liu Mo, I've seen Miss Lin." He said, "Miss Lin is a beautiful girl, and she is naturally afraid of people if she doesn't go out of the door." ”
Lin Shiqi got up and saluted: "Liu Gongzi is good." ”
After saying a good word, he could not say a second sentence.
The old lady is also a person from the past, and when she met the old lady Lin for the first time, she was afraid that she was more nervous than Lin Shiqi.
So she found a conversation and said, "What you did in Rongcheng really surprised me. ”
Liu Mo came back to his senses, "Isn't it good?" ”
"In just a few days, there will be a profit of six thousand taels, which is much stronger than those children and grandchildren of my Lin family." The old lady said, "What are you going to do with the remaining four thousand taels?" ”
"Good fellow, the remaining four thousand taels! Haven't passed the test yet? We have to go on. Liu Mo frowned, "You old woman is too scoundrel, ask me to come back for the holidays, and it will be wasted for more than ten days back and forth." ”
"Or a one-month deadline?" He couldn't help but ask.
Mrs. Zhou just smiled and didn't answer, which made Liu Mo's scalp tingle.
"Are you complaining about why I summoned you back?"
"Don't dare!"
"Hmph, you kid is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers." The old lady raised her voice. "Mr. Li, who was sent by my son, you dare to fight, and you dare to eat the sin of 'Guangjuxuan'! Have you really forgotten who you are? ”
When Liu Mo heard this, he knew that there was something in the old lady's words, so he said: "The old lady, please make it clear." ”
"You are so clever that you don't know?" The old lady said, "If you stay for a few more days, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me, an old woman." ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Mo felt a chill down his spine.
Could it be that the behind-the-scenes boss of "Guangjuxuan" wants to kill himself?
If you think about it, Lao Taijun is also a smart person. The matter of "Jingshui Pavilion", I am afraid that she already knows.
The reason why he didn't intervene was because he had scruples.
The identity of the person behind the curtain is not ordinarily high!
And I, Liu Mo, am not a son-in-law, I was just a poor scholar ten days ago.
They tried to kill me... It's like crushing an ant.
Taking a sharp breath, "Old lady... I! ”
"Got it?"
"Hmm!" Liu Mo frowned again, "Old lady, I don't know something, why did you let me go to Rongcheng!" ”
The implication is that you still let me jump in such a big fire pit!
"My son-in-law of the Lin family, is it so good?" The old lady replied, "You can't resist the little Banyan City, how can you gain a foothold in my Lin family?" How can I trust Shiqi with you? ”
Liu Mo was shocked, it was so painstaking!
The Lin family is such a big family, and the forces in it must be complicated.
Mrs. Zhou has three sons, and Lin Yuan is the second.
The other two rooms have men, but Lin Yuan has no children, and Lin Shiqi is the only heir of Lin Yuan's lineage.
If you marry Lin Shiqi, it is equivalent to inheriting Lin Yuan's house.
With interests at the forefront, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Lin Shiqi.
"Thank you for the reminder." Liu Mo hurriedly got up and thanked him.
"Hmph, you need to think more about the consequences in the future, don't be in a hurry."
"Thank you for the teachings of Mrs. Xie, and you should keep it in mind." Liu Mo said, "The four thousand taels of profit you just mentioned, do you still want it?" ”
"What do you say?"
Boy! I'm going to have to go back and fight those jackals!
