Chapter 36 No need to force it
Without the task of the sect and the people to be killed in the near future, Su Mo became leisurely, wandering, enjoying the scenery, practicing, and occasionally attending a banquet.
Late at night, I returned to my room full of alcohol.
Mei Niang came over with a warm spiritual tea and asked, "How is it?
Su Mo took a sip of spiritual tea, moistened his throat, and said with a smile: "Although the identity of the inner disciple is not enough, the timely arrival of the sect's mission makes Mu Lan owe a favor, so that he will not be looked down on too much by the Mu family." In the future, prepare gifts for the New Year's holidays, usually don't bother with small things, and don't expect big things, just borrow a name. ”
"Tax ......"
Mei Niang means to make some false accounts to avoid the taxes of the city lord's mansion, although the rules here are strict and numerous, but there are many places to operate.
Su Mo thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Come according to their rules, we have just arrived, and our connections and interest networks have not been opened, so it's okay to hide it, but if something goes wrong, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain." ”
Mei Niang nodded, smiled and asked, "Make you another cup of tea?"
Su Mo did not refuse.
What was handed over was a glass of spirit wine.
Su Mo looked slightly bitter and said, "Do you still drink, if you don't need to suppress it, I don't have as much alcohol as you." ”
Mei Niang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I estimate the amount of alcohol you drink, I won't let you get drunk, hey, drink it quickly, I'll say something after drinking." ”
Su Mo turned his wine glass and drank it all.
"Childe, do you know why my alcohol consumption is so good?" Mei Niang poured herself a glass, took a sip, and said: "When I didn't meet Childe, I often drank alone at night, right...... It is drunk every day, only in this way can you sleep well. But from two months ago, I found out that I didn't need it anymore. There are a lot of things going on here, but I'm in a good mood, and when I come back from a busy day, I can sleep when I want, and I can cultivate when I want to cultivate, because I have my son here, I won't be disturbed, and I won't wake up in my dreams. ”
She looked at Su Mo's eyes and said, "Childe, Mei Niang likes this kind of stable life very much, and I also want to repay your kindness, if I don't do well enough one day, I hope you don't drive me away......
Su Mo was stunned and said, "No, how could it be." ”
Mei Niang put down her wine glass, took out a letter and put it on the table, looked up and said: "This is news from Sunset City, the Nether Wolf Clan of the Qingcang Mountain Range is secretly gathering, the target is likely to be Flying Eagle Castle, if you go now, it will be very dangerous." ”
Su Mo smiled and asked, "Do you think I will leave you behind and go on an adventure alone?"
Mei Niang said seriously: "I like everything now very much, and I don't want to break it." ”
Su Mo continued: "Also, you don't want to lose me, you don't want to return to your past identity." ”
Mei Niang was stunned, and nodded slowly, "Say it for the sake of openness, son, we don't have to take risks for others, and we're not bad." ”
"I'm thinking that Big Brother Ishizawa knows, I don't know if I'll be sad. ”
"Don't make me laugh, it's serious, it takes a lot of courage. ”
Then, Mei Niang laughed herself.
"Don't worry, I'm such a greedy person who is afraid of death, not to mention immortality, longevity and heaven, but how can I live for thousands of years, the itinerary remains the same, I will plan it. ”
Su Mo finished with a smile, then got up and prepared to go out.
Mei Niang said behind her: "Tomorrow's opening ceremony, Gongzi will go, right?"
Su Mo replied, "Of course. ”
From site selection, construction, to opening, Xinghai Pavilion only took half a month.
A few drums, a few banners, a few pieces of music, and then Mei Niang's speech. The whole process was simple and hurried, and Su Mo didn't deliberately engage in any gimmicks, because there was no point.
Qinglin City is prosperous in business, and it is too difficult to stand out among the many shops, and if it is done brilliantly, it may attract the vigilance and even hostility of other chambers of commerce.
"The opening is auspicious, and the money is rolling!"
More than a dozen monks with extraordinary bearing arched their hands and walked into the Xinghai Pavilion, and began to say joy when they entered the door.
In the remote and chaotic Xicheng, it is said that there should not be so many people coming to congratulate him, Su Mo has not yet established a stable network here, Mu Bai spends most of his time hiding in the shadows, and he will not trouble others to come over because of the opening of a shop.
Several of the newly recruited stewards were a little dazed.
"Welcome, may I ask who you are?" Mei Niang was originally receiving customers next to her, but at this time, she saw the level of this group of people and had to come over to greet her.
This time, the appearance, temperament, and style ...... It's amazing.
Mu Lun was stunned, his eyes looked at the plainly dressed Mei Niang several times, and only came back to his senses after being reminded by the person next to him, and said with a friendly smile: "Mu Lun, the fifth elder of the Mu family in this seat, is Su Xiaoyou here?"
This kind of gaze, Mei Niang is too familiar, nodded politely, and said, "Please here." ”
She brought the person to Su Mo and left, without saying anything.
Su Mo got up and said, "You can come to cheer, the small shop is shining!"
One person said: "Su Xiaoyou is not interesting enough, I don't notice such a big event as the opening of the shop, which makes us... You see, there's no time to prepare for anything!"
The other answered: "It's better to buy something if you're not prepared, right, Su Xiaoyou." ”
Su Mo smiled and didn't continue this stubble.
Mu Lun sat next to him and drank tea, it was not easy to ask directly, but after looking at Su Mo, he recalled Mei Niang's appearance, dress, and cultivation, and guessed her identity...... I feel like I have a rough idea.
In the next half hour, Mu Lun, together with the people he brought, bought things worth fifty or sixty thousand spirit stones in one go, plus the other monks bought, the shops were overloaded, and there were busy figures everywhere.
Mu Bai was about to go crazy, and while he was repaying the account, he whispered to Su Mo: "That Mu family elder bought three high-grade spiritual weapons alone, but he has been following Mei Niang. ”
Wherever Mei Niang went, Mu Lun followed, looking for an opportunity to talk, she didn't dare to be too reluctant, but she worked tirelessly.
"Get acquainted?"
"This is the token of this seat, take it, there will be something in Qinglin City in the future, just look for me, don't say anything else, ...... here"
"The blue jacaranda flowers in the fine water valley are about to bloom, a hundred miles of flowers, beautiful, I don't know if Mei Niang has time?"
He actively introduced himself, and the people next to him also flattered and helped to set off.
Mei Niang knew that the Mu family was a local clan and couldn't afford to offend, so she took the token, tried her best to be polite, and reluctantly coped with it, not wanting to cause trouble to Su Mo......
But at the moment when Mu Lun stretched out his hand to pull her, Mei Niang was in a trance and had a feeling of returning to her original feelings, her chest was congested, and her mood was inexplicably irritable, but she tried to suppress it.
She used to suppress herself like this, so much so that she could only use murder to solve it.
Su Mo walked over, and Mei Niang looked back at him.
Su Mo gave her a gentle look with a smile, and said, "Don't be afraid, you don't need to." ”
Mei Niang turned around to meet him, hugged Su Mo's waist with a natural expression, put her chin on his shoulder, her voice was very small, but it could be heard by everyone, and said in a somewhat coquettish tone: "I'm tired, it's all your fault." ”
Su Mo said affectionately: "Then you go back and rest for a while." ”
Mu Lun was stunned, his old face slightly red.
Su Mo had several encounters with Mu Lun at the Mu family's banquet, except for being a little swaggering and lustful, he could become the real elder of the Mu family, he was naturally not stupid, he was good at judging the situation, and even if he accidentally offended someone, he could quickly resolve it.
This thing itself is not an exaggeration, neither of them broke it, and they kept each other in measure.
Mu Lun smiled awkwardly and nodded in apology.
His judgment is twofold:
First of all, if he was just a card shopkeeper, or just an ordinary woman, Su Mo probably wouldn't run out impulsively, so this woman who made him amazed for a while, Mu Lun could only lament a pity, and at the same time admired Su Mo for understanding women and being able to play, so blessed.
Secondly, he didn't want to provoke Su Mo.
To be able to become a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall as a casual cultivator and make friends with the high-level nobles of the Taixuan Sect, the means and strength are definitely not simple.
The most important thing is that Su Mo came to Qinglin City in just three months, and he destroyed several forces and opened up the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion, which is a bit terrifying.
After a few casual greetings, Mu Lun settled the account and left with someone to say goodbye.
Su Mo returned to the room on the third floor and vaguely saw that Mei Niang seemed to be wiping away her tears in a hurry......
Standing up, Mei Niang was calm and sincere, and said, "Thank you, Childe." ”
Her cognition is very clear, Su Mo does not have a strong background, and relies on his own efforts to move forward, and in this branch of Xinghai Pavilion in Qinglin City, he has invested too many resources and cannot afford to lose. Therefore, comparing the before and after life encounters, the contrast is too strong, and the Mei Niang, who used to be in the Fengyue place, must be exquisite in all directions, and the song is always welcome, suddenly envious of her current self.
Su Mo waved his hand and said seriously: "What is there to thank for, you are my subordinate, and it is a matter of course to defend you." By the way, a woman is beautiful and attractive, which is something to be proud of, and if you feel annoyed, it is good to refuse directly. ”
Mei Niang nodded vigorously, "Hmm!"
Su Mo stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "Isn't the reason why people work hard to climb up is to make themselves live more dignified and comfortable?" So don't worry, from the day I brought you out, you don't have to be the same you used to be." ”
I actually heard this sentence once last night, and now I listen to it again, Mei Niang is still stunned, nodding but not answering, because she doesn't know how to answer.
When she opened the door and went out, she brushed the hair around her ears, twisted her waist, and asked with a chuckle, "Childe, I'll leave the door for you tonight?"
Su Mo sat down and said solemnly: "I practice Tongzigong, don't come to harm me." ”
