Wanqingsi

Chapter 68 Atonement
Inviting An Yuanxi to be the manager will inevitably face Mrs. An's opposition, but this is his problem. If he can't even handle this matter well, how can he handle disputes in the mall?In the past few days, Mrs. An still came to cook every day, but she didn't say a word to me. I think An Yuanxi has already settled her. No matter what method he uses, it is best to reduce my troubles. I want it, but Not the kind of employee who gets me in trouble all the time.

Early this morning, I woke up leisurely, had breakfast, and made a pot of tea to enjoy.I handed over to An Yuanxi to take care of the shop, while I hid at home and was lazy.Xiaohong opened the door and came in, glanced at me, and said softly: "Girl, there is a young master outside who wants to see you."

"Master?" I lazily clutched the stove, and smiled, "I knew Mr. An in Cangdu, don't tell me he hasn't been to the shop today."

"No, girl." Xiaohong hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "It was Mr. Mo who fell ill at the inn that day. You said that his school boy was born very much like your lost brother."

Mosang's son?Mingyan's smiling face appeared in front of my eyes, and my heart ached.He raised his head and glanced at Xiaohong: "Why does he want to see me?"

"The young master recovered from his illness, and he said he wanted to thank the girl for her generous help." Xiao Hong said.

"Mosang..." I paused and said softly, "You're here too?"

"Yeah." Xiaohong glanced at me anxiously, "Here we come."

I nodded: "Understood, please go to the flower hall to sit first. I will go there right away."

Mingyan....I sighed, tidied up my clothes, put on my coat, and walked to the flower hall.Entering the flower hall, I saw a scholar in plain clothes sitting in the guest seat. Although his appearance was red, his face was white, and his eyebrows were pretty, his appearance was not as good as that of Mosang, who was his book boy.At this moment, Mo Sang was standing behind the scholar, and when he saw me coming in, he was taken aback.I smiled at him and walked straight over. The scholar in Tsing Yi stood up when he saw me entering the room. Xiao Hong saw me coming in and said to the scholar in Su Yi: "Mr. Mo, this is my girl."

"Miss Ye." The Su Yi scholar saluted me, "Mo Xiuqi, I'm here to thank you for your kindness."

"Mr. Mo, please take a seat." I sat down on the main seat and said with a smile, "Young master, you are being polite. Who doesn't have any difficulties when you go out? It's convenient for others and convenient for yourself."

"Having said that, how many people really do it." Mo Xiuqi had a sneer on his face, "It's easy for people in this world to fall into trouble, so giving charcoal in a timely manner is especially precious."

I smiled lightly, sending carbon in the snow?I'm not such a kind person, if Mosang hadn't had the same face as Ming Yan, I wouldn't be so careless about your life and death.I looked up at Mo Sang, and saw that his eyelashes were drooping, his face was expressionless, and I couldn't see his eyes.

Mo Xiuqi noticed the way I looked at Mo Sang, and smiled slightly: "I heard from Mo Sang that Miss Ye's lost brother looks very much like him."

I was startled, and smiled wryly, "Yes."

Mo Xiuqi smiled and said, "I don't know when the girl's younger brother got lost? Maybe it's really Mo Sang, maybe this child was sold into my house at the age of eight..."

"My younger brother was separated from me just a few months ago." I interrupted Mo Xiuqi and said calmly. The county fell ill when he came to work, and now he is cured, are you going to go back?"

Mo Xiuqi's face darkened: "In the middle of the next family road, when I came to Cangdu, I had already turned into a seller's property, and I didn't plan to go back."

"Mr. Mo still wants to stay in Cangdu?" Waiting for the repentant girl's family to change her mind?I'm afraid it's quite difficult.

"I want to stay here to prove to Xiangrong that I'm not a useless person." When Mo Xiuqi mentioned "Xiangrong", his face twitched slightly, and then he said firmly.

Want to accommodate?His remorseful fiancée?I smiled, what a lovely person, what can you prove, even if you make a fortune, it will not happen in a short time, you have all reached the age of marriage, since the wife's family regrets the marriage, they will definitely arrange for their daughter's marriage as soon as possible , Maybe before you find a job, that woman has already married someone else's wife.I picked up the tea, took a sip, and said calmly, "Then what is Mr. Mo's plan for the future?"

"This..." He had a blank expression on his face, "I haven't thought about it yet..."

I sighed in my heart, you idiot.Looking up at Mo Sang, his face also showed some panic and bewilderment. He must be very anxious about the future life, right?My heart felt sore and soft all of a sudden, even though I knew he was not Mingyan, I still couldn't ignore that face.If I could find a job for his master and servant in Xiuzhuang, it would temporarily solve their difficulties. I took a look at Mo Xiuqi, and I asked, "What line of business did Mr. Mo's family work in before?"

Mo Xiuqi smiled wryly: "My father used to help Chu Shang, the rich man of Tianzhao Kingdom, manage the silk and satin village in Tieshan County, and I also helped in the accountant of the silk and satin village. Since Chu Shang was executed by the court, the business under his name All of them were confiscated by the imperial court. Originally, the fathers of these families accumulated a lot of property, but after the silk and satin village accident, the second mother took all the belongings and eloped with others. My father was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick, and he passed away not long after. Before I died, the Yue family who asked me to go to Cangdu to find my fingertips to marry, never expected to come here but..."

What Mo Xiuqi said later, I didn't listen to a single word, cold sweat broke out on my forehead, but my whole body was icy cold, I tightly held the teacup on the table, my hands couldn't stop shaking, and my heart felt cramped.what did I do?what did I do?In order to get rid of Chu Shang, for the freedom I wanted, what did I do?Why do I think that Chu Shang's power was merely wiped out, and the Wuji Gate he cultivated so painstakingly was destroyed?Is it that I have been afraid to think about it, or do I not want to think about it?How many innocent people would be implicated because of Chu Shang's downfall?How many people were destroyed?What did I do?
"Girl!" Seeing that I was sweating profusely, Xiaohong poked my forehead in fright, "What's the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Mo Xiuqi also stood up, looked at me in surprise, and said at a loss, "Miss Ye, did I say something wrong? Why..."

As if all the strength in my body had been taken away by someone, I forced a smile to Xiaohong and said, "It's okay..."

Seeing my weak appearance, Mo Xiuqi said anxiously: "The girl is not feeling well, I don't want to disturb the girl's rest, so I will take my leave."

"Mr. Mo, please stay." I hurriedly called him, and he gave me a suspicious look, then sat back on the chair, "Is there anything else you want to do, Miss?"

"The little girl recently opened an embroidery shop, and I'm short of manpower. I'm a beginner in business and don't know anything. I wonder if Mr. Mo would like to do the little girl a favor and come to my embroidery shop to manage the accounts for me?" My The tone was very sincere, I didn't want to help Mo Xiuqi solve the predicament in front of me, I just wanted to atone for myself, I caused his family to be ruined and down and out, why should I put on the face of a benefactor?

Mo Xiuqi and Mo Sang's eyes lit up at the same time, Mo Xiuqi stood up, and said excitedly: "What are you talking about, I thank you for your help, I will never forget your kindness to my master and servant." ..."

"Mr. Mo!" I interrupted him, forced a smile, "Don't say such things again, you two, master and servant, are you still living in the inn?"

"Yes!" Mo Xiuqi's face flushed slightly, I pondered for a moment, and said softly, "It's not an option to stay in the inn all the time, you two go back and pack your things, and move to live with me, just treat it as a The residence arranged by Xiu Zhuang for you." I will discuss it with the old Futou later, arrange two rooms for the two of them, and pay the rent for them, there should be no problem.

Mo Xiuqi looked grateful, and wanted to say something, I waved my hand and said softly: "Young Master Mo, don't say anything, I'm a little tired, if you have no objections, go back and pack your things."

Mo Xiuqi stood up, bowed to me and said: "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. I won't disturb the girl's rest, so I will take my leave first."

Seeing them leave, I couldn't move for a long time, and after a while, I said softly: "Xiaohong, help me back to my room, I'm very tired."

Back in the room, Xiaohong helped me to lie down on the bed, I said weakly: "I want to lie down alone for a while, you go out first."

She let out a "huh" and quietly closed the door and went out.I stared at the ceiling in a daze for a long time, raised my hands in front of my eyes, and laughed foolishly.Chu Shang, now I am as dirty as you, with bloody hands, as cruel and vicious as you, are you satisfied?You must be hiding in the underworld and sneering, right?Do you count on killing me?Why do you refuse to let me go even after you die?
I covered my face, tears slipped from my fingers, trembling all over.

I stayed in the room for a whole day, and it was useless to have lunch or dinner. Xiaohong came in worriedly and looked at it several times. I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, ignoring her.When Brother Wei came back from the shop, he probably heard Xiaohong say that I hadn’t eaten all day, so he came to my bedside to call me. He wanted to pretend to sleep all the time, but he was afraid that he would worry about me after a tiring day in Xiuzhuang, so he had no choice but to open one's eyes.Seeing that I "woke up", he sat on the side of the bed, smiled gently and said, "I heard from Xiaohong that you haven't eaten all day, so let her cook some porridge for you, and sleep after eating, okay?"

"Yeah." I smiled, he helped me sit up, Xiaohong handed the porridge to my hand, my hand softened, and I almost couldn't hold it steady, Brother Wei hurriedly held my hand, took the bowl, "Look at you, you are so hungry that you have no strength at all, I will feed you."

He scooped up a spoonful of porridge involuntarily, blew twice on his mouth, and handed it to my lips. I took it into my mouth, swallowed it silently, and the second spoonful came again.My eyes were inexplicably sore, I resisted the urge to cry, and finished a bowl of porridge quietly. He handed the empty bowl to Xiaohong, trying to help me to lie down. I hugged him violently, and the tears finally flowed uncontrollably Come down, choked up and said: "Brother, why are you so kind to me?"

I have done so many bad things, and everything I do is selfishly thinking about myself. Even though it looks like I am helping others, in fact, the motivation for helping others is to do it because it is beneficial to me.How can a selfish person like me deserve someone to treat me so well?
Brother Wei's body stiffened and patted me on the back, and said gently: "Because you are Ye'er, my sister."

I cried loudly, and the tears flowed down unscrupulously, wantonly expressing the grievance in my heart.I just want to live a good life. I have never asked for more, and I never expect anyone to understand me. Why does the thing I always want to avoid haunt me like a nightmare?I just want to live a good life!
