Looking at the letter in his hand, Liu Mo frowned.
The old lady is still playing riddles. Should I pass the task or fail it?
It looks like it has 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 and appreciating the moon, literati and poets, come to a poetry gathering, it will be endless fun.
Calling me back at this time feels like treating me like a family member.
But here’s the problem, the letter didn’t explain it!
If you act rogue then, tell me when you get back that the task is short of 4,000 taels, so you can go back and continue working.
It takes almost ten days to go back and forth, what a nonsense!
not going back?
It's not a solution. I believe it won't be long before those bitches in Linxian will raise the price of food ingredients.
Moreover, transportation back and forth is not new and is naturally not a long-term solution.
It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Without ingredients, how can I do this business?
"Irritated!" Liu Mo sighed secretly. "There's not even anyone to discuss it with, so I have to rely on myself."
After thinking for a night, Liu Mo finally decided to return to Linyang.
Think on the bright side in everything. Based on his performance in the past ten days, there is a high probability that Mrs. Zhou will approve of this other grandson-in-law.
After comforting himself in this way, Liu Mo advanced three months' wages to Wang Xiaoqi and others in advance, which was considered as his utmost kindness to them.
Then, he packed his bags, took Zhao Da with him, and returned to Linyang.
Although I am a little reluctant to give up the business of "Jingshui Pavilion", Mrs. Zhou doesn't want it anymore, so what does it have to do with me?
Four days later, Liu Mo and Zhao Da returned to Linyang.
It was evening at this time, and the setting sun dyed the weather red, soaking half of Linyang City in the warm red glow.
Walking into Lin Mansion again, Liu Mo felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
If everything goes well, this will be my home from now on.
What Liu Mo didn't expect was that Mrs. Zhou didn't summon him immediately, but asked her servants to take Liu Mo directly back to the wing.
Before the sun set, dishes were brought into the room one after another.
Zhao Da is a servant, so naturally he cannot live with Liu Mo, so Liu Mo is the only one left.
The Ghost Festival is coming in two days. As the richest man in Linyang City, the Lin family has hundreds of people in the house, from the owner to the stewards, servants, maids, and nursing staff. The scale is huge, so preparations must be made in advance.
In the past two days, Mrs. Zhou still had no time to see her.
Liu Mo had to read books, drink tea and pass the time alone.
At noon on the Ghost Festival, Mrs. Zhou finally thought of herself.
The meeting place was Lin Mansion Garden.
Following the servants to the garden, Mrs. Zhou was sitting in the pavilion. Next to her, a young girl raised her head and glanced at Liu Mo, then lowered her head in a hurry.
Liu Mo saw her gently stroking the hair beside her ears. The eyes on her pretty face were still clear, with a little shyness, but more of a calm indifference. When the wind blew from the yard, her light-colored dress Her elegant dress swayed gently in the wind.
"Her expression!" Liu Mo felt sour in his heart.
No matter how you look at her, she looks like a girl you met on a blind date on Earth. She doesn't like you, and you feel helpless and embarrassed.
Thinking about it, women in the Xia Dynasty all depended on their parents' orders for marriage, and the matchmaker had no choice.
Although I, Liu Mo, am not ugly, I am definitely not a handsome man.
Not only that, today is the first time we meet, can I expect her to fall in love with me at first sight?
Adjust your mood and step forward.
"I've met Mrs. Zhou!" Liu Mo bowed and saluted.
"No need, sit down." Mrs. Zhou pointed to the stone bench next to Lin Shiqi.
This made Liu Mo have a lot of thoughts in her heart. Did she deliberately let me sit next to her?
Ha, this is very nice!
As soon as he sat down, he saw Lin Shiqi glance at him subconsciously, and her shy look immediately made Liu Mo nervous.
The old lady smiled and said, "Shiqi, this is Mr. Liu Mo Liu."
Lin Shiqi didn't raise her head and just said, "Oh..."
"Why are you so ignorant of etiquette!" the old lady scolded her.
When Liu Mo saw this, he quickly interrupted, "Liu Mo, a young student, has met Miss Lin." He said, "Miss Lin is a lady. She never steps out of the door, so she is naturally afraid of strangers."
Lin Shiqi then stood up and saluted, "Hello, Mr. Liu."
After saying goodbye, I couldn't say another word.
The old lady was also experienced. When she first met Old Mrs. Lin, she was probably more nervous than Lin Shiqi.
So she found something to say and said, "What you did in Rongcheng really surprised me."
Liu Mo came back to his senses and asked, "Is it not done well?"
"In just a few days, we made a profit of six thousand taels, which is much better than the useless descendants of my Lin family." The old lady said, "What are you going to do with the remaining four thousand taels?"
"Good fellow, there are four thousand taels left! Haven't you passed the test yet? You have to continue." Liu Mo frowned, "You are such a scoundrel old woman. You asked me to come back for the festival. You just spent more than ten days going back and forth. .”
"Is it still a one-month deadline?" he couldn't help but ask.
But Mrs. Zhou just smiled and did not answer, which made Liu Mo's scalp numb.
"Are you complaining about why I called 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. "You dare to beat Mr. Li who was sent by my son, and you dare to suffer the consequences of Guangjuxuan! Have you really forgotten your identity?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mo knew that there was something in the old lady's words, so he said: "Old lady, please make it clear."
"You are so smart, how could you not know?" the old lady asked, "If you stay a few more days, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me, an old lady."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Mo's spine went cold.
Is it possible that the boss behind "Guangjuxuan" wants to kill himself?
If you think about it carefully, the old lady is also a smart person. I'm afraid she already knew about the "Jingshui Pavilion".
The reason why I didn't intervene was because I had some scruples.
The person behind the scenes has an unusually high status!
And I, Liu Mo, am not my son-in-law. I was just a poor scholar more than ten days ago.
They wanted to kill me... like crushing an ant.
Taking a sharp breath, "Old lady...me!"
"Do you understand?"
"Well!" Liu Mo frowned again, "Old lady, there is something I don't understand. Why did you ask me to go to Rongcheng!"
The implication is, you let me jump into such a big fire pit!
"How can I, the son-in-law of the Lin family, be that good?" the old lady replied, "How can you gain a foothold in my Lin family, even if you can't stand it in this small Rongcheng city? How can I safely entrust Shiqi to you?"
Liu Mo was shocked that he had worked so hard!
The Lin family is such a large family, and the forces within it must be complicated.
Mrs. Zhou has three sons, Lin Yuan is the second.
The other two houses both had men, but Lin Yuan had no children. Lin Shiqi was the only heir to Lin Yuan's lineage.
If you marry Lin Shiqi, it is equivalent to inheriting Lin Yuan's house.
With interests at the forefront, countless pairs of eyes were staring at Lin Shiqi.
"Thank you, old lady, for reminding me." Liu Mo quickly stood up and thanked him.
"Hmph, you need to consider the consequences of your actions in the future, don't be impatient."
"Thank you for your teachings, old lady, I should keep it in mind." Liu Mo said, "Do you still want the 4,000 taels of profit that I just mentioned?"
"What did you say?"
Good guy! I have to go back and fight with those jackals!
