Chapter 66 Going Home
Mo Yunxiao's originally pleasant mood was completely ruined by Huan'er's suicide. Huan'er's suicide made her heartache, but what made her even more puzzled and puzzled was the strangeness that Huan'er showed.
Huan'er has a strong personality, dares to love and hate, but she also respects and loves herself. She will not be too contemptuous of herself because of her low status. This is what Mo Yunxiao admires about her.
However, last night, Mo Yunxiao clearly saw a bit of humility in her eyes that she had never seen before. She was very cautious towards Zhao Si and Cheng Yu, for fear of offending them inadvertently.
In addition, her inexplicable gratitude to Zhao Si is even more elusive.
Could it be that Huan'er had really suffered an irreparable psychological blow after many incidents? Did she really rely on Zhao Si and become separated from her? Or did she have other reasons and unspeakable secrets?
Mo Yunxiao, who was sitting in the carriage, was puzzled. She had to sigh and put the matter aside for the time being. She opened the car curtain and took a look at the street. The streets of Tokyo were still noisy and bustling, with the sounds of vendors and the bustling sounds of pedestrians.
One after another.
"I really don't know what's going on in the store." She thought so and couldn't help but get worried. Worried about the bleak business due to her absence, worried about the fight between Yunxiang and Yunxi, worried about the unforgiving second mistress Zhang Yun'er giving Dujuan shoes
wear……
Mo Yunxiao clenched her hands tightly, feeling full of anxiety and uneasiness like a bride returning home for the first time after getting married. However, when she stepped on the horse and got out of the car, all her worries gradually dissipated.
Minglou was still such a humble person. Yunxi, who was shouting hard, saw her at a glance, then ran over with a smile on her face and said, "Brother! You're back!" She looked again, Mo Yunxiao.
Dressed in luxury, he is far less depressed than he was after his house was ransacked.
"Brother, where have you been? But what kind of wealthy family have you become? How come you haven't heard of it?" Yun Xi became curious and eager to find out.
Mo Yunxiao smiled lightly and said, "Have you ever heard of a girl named Linglong these days?"
"Of course I heard about it! Now the whole city of Tokyo has spread, saying that a little singer has been favored by the majestic King Jian..." At this point, Yunxi realized what he was doing and looked at her with big eyes.
His female brother covered his mouth and shouted: "Oh my God! It turns out that Miss Linglong is my female brother!"
Mo Yunxiao squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "Keep your voice down and don't cause trouble. Come on, let's go in and talk."
It was mid-morning, and although there were many pedestrians on the street, not many came to have tea, and there were no tea customers in the shop yet.
Yun Xi walked inside and shouted: "Everyone is out! Look who's back!"
Du Juan on the counter looked up and shouted in surprise. She ran over quickly and asked questions. Zhou Laosi was naturally alarmed and hurriedly ran out to take a look. Mo Yunxiao sat down and looked at her.
After summarizing the experience during this period, everyone was amazed by it. The first was Mo Yunxiao's courage and wisdom; the second was Jian Wang Zhao's kind-hearted person; the third was Huan'er's great change in temperament.
Just as everyone was talking, Li Xian'e and Zhang Yun'er also came out one after another. The two of them were no different from before, but they were losing their flashiness more and more, and they looked like ordinary women.
Li Xian'e smiled happily, but before she could say anything, Zhang Yun'er got there first: "Hey! Someone's rich lady is coming to the shop. We vulgar people can't afford to entertain her."
Such inappropriate words made everyone look angry, but after all, they were the elders and the masters, so it was hard for others to say anything.
Mo Yunxiao stood up and asked with a smile: "Second Grandma is doing well recently. I wonder how Yunxiang is doing?"
Zhang Yun'er's face immediately showed a look of embarrassment. Li Xian'e and Yun Xi also covered their mouths and smiled without speaking. Mo Yunxiao felt something was strange, so he asked Du Juan: "Where is Yun Xiang? Why don't you see her coming out?"
"Second Miss, she..." Dujuan's cheeks turned red and she didn't know what to say.
Mo Yunxiao thought something was wrong, so she immediately pushed aside the crowd and went straight to the backyard. She entered the house and shouted as she walked: "Yunxiang! Yunxiang..." She saw Yunxiang sitting on the couch with a pale face.
Her face showed exhaustion. A thin blanket covered her legs, and a pair of exquisite "Wrong to the End" were placed neatly on the edge of the bed.
She was already a little drowsy, but suddenly she saw Mo Yunxiao's eyes brightening up again. But there was infinite sorrow in her eyes, her lips twitched a few times and suddenly she fell on the bed with a "Wow" and cried bitterly.
Mo Yunxiao was taken aback and asked her hurriedly: "Yunxiang, what's wrong with you? Has anyone bullied you?"
While she was talking, Li Xian'e and Zhang Yun'er also ran in. When they saw this scene, they also stopped and cast their eyes on Mo Yunxiao.
"Mo Yunxiao! Are you satisfied? Now I am just like you!" Yunxiang cried and said: "Don't you dare to laugh at me! If any of you laughs at me, I will hang myself to death, which is fine!"
"Yun Xiang! What are you talking about!" Mo Yunxiao's tone became stern. She didn't understand why Yun Xiang was so excited.
Yunxiang cried loudly for a while, and gradually turned into soft sobs. She raised her head faintly, still looking at Mo Yunxiao sideways, and said, "Look!" She suddenly opened the blanket, revealing her already released breasts.
Her feet had also recovered their "natural feet" and no longer needed to be wrapped in thick foot bindings.
Mo Yunxiao was shocked, but after the surprise, she was secretly happy. Li Xian'e just sighed, but Zhang Yun'er started to sob.
"Yunxiang, you have finally figured it out and are willing to stand on our side, right?" Mo Yunxiao happily walked over, wanting to get closer to Yunxiang.
But Yunxiang still had a sad look on his face and shouted: "Stop! Don't come close to me!" Mo Yunxiao was stunned and could only stand still.
"My Xiang'er, my poor Xiang'er..." Zhang Yun'er cried bitterly, and she cried more and more sadly.
Mo Yunxiao looked around at the three people in the room and knew that Yunxiang's decision to let go was not because she was willing, but because she could not bear the pain of being isolated. This was indeed an extremely difficult decision for her.
Understanding this, Mo Yunxiao only felt deep sadness.
The ancients did have a harder time than the people living in modern times. Many decisions that modern people can make easily without even using their brains to think about them, but the ancients had to go through extremely difficult choices and pay a very heavy price.
"Yunxiang, I won't laugh at you, because Yunxi and I are both talented." Mo Yunxiao said, "If you want to cry, just cry happily. After crying, life has to go on."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went out. Zhang Yun'er rushed to greet her daughter to comfort her. Li Xian'e sighed heavily and exited the room while saying "Bodhisattva bless you".
Mo Yunxiao came to the front hall with mixed emotions. Yunxiang's affairs were put aside for the time being, and now she wanted to see the operation of the store. What she was worried about did happen to a certain extent. The account books showed that she was not among them.
By the end of the day, the store's sales volume had dropped by almost half. Minglou's membership card system must be based on teaching children how to read. However, except for Mo Yunxiao, no one in the store can take on this role.
She frowned slightly and thought of Huan'er again. Huan'er was once a girl in her own family. She was not only literate but also read some poems and articles. She was a rare literate woman in this era.
However, now she seems to have changed into a completely unrecognizable person.
"Although the girl is not here, the youngest and the third girl can also support me." Du Juan said, "The third girl has worked hard, and the store has gained many new customers."
Mo Yunxiao knew that she was trying to forgive him, so he could only smile lightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Yun Xi also came over and said a little shyly: "Brother, in fact, those new customers in the store are not the ones who came because of me, but...but..."
She seemed a little embarrassed to say it, but after thinking about it, she said: "Young Master Zhao called me."
"Mr. Zhao?" Mo Yunxiao showed a surprised expression and asked: "Which Mr. Zhao?"
"Is there any other Mr. Zhao who is Mr. Zhao Pang?" Yun Xi replied.
Mo Yunxiao felt even more strange and said, "He? Why would he solicit customers for us?"
Du Juan said: "Since you left, Miss Zhao, Mr. Zhao has been coming here every day. Seeing that the store was deserted, he invited some dignitaries to come to the store every day to have tea and chat."
"Besides, each one is extraordinary. One bowl of tea is only paid for two bowls of tea." Yun Xi became happy again and said, "It's just that he hasn't been seen in the past two days."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Mo Yunxiao thought carefully. Zhao Ji went to Prince Jian's Mansion to attend the banquet the day before. According to Yunxi, wasn't it the two days after the banquet that he didn't come for two days?
"It seems that he wanted to please me, but when he found out that I was going to be Princess Jian, he felt hopeless and stopped coming."
Mo Yunxiao sighed, with mixed feelings in her heart, and said, "Let him be." Then, she turned around and sat aside, looking a little unhappy.
Yunxi and Dujuan looked at each other, then went up to her and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Mo Yunxiao smiled faintly and said, "I just feel empty and quite uncomfortable."
Yun Xi also sighed and said, "Yes, I originally wanted to use Mr. Zhao's hand to avenge my father, but now I'm afraid..."
Mo Yunxiao looked up at her and said, "Don't worry, revenge will be avenged."
As expected, there were not many tea-goers on this day, and even when it was time for the Master to visit, there were only a few sparse tables of guests.
The business in the store was deserted, Huan'er couldn't figure it out, Zhao Ji was drifting away, and several complicated things pressed on Mo Yunxiao, making her even more sad.
She only felt lonely and helpless. She searched around the people she knew and found no one with whom she could talk to except Mrs. Wei.
Huan'er could have had a heart-to-heart talk, but she had changed and was no longer as affectionate with him as before; Mrs. Wei once warned herself not to fall in love with Zhao Si, but she didn't listen to her. And Zhao Si, this she
A man who is deeply in love does not seem to be a good conversation partner.
She felt that there was always a layer between her and him. She didn't know when this layer was formed. Was it after Huan'er's temperament changed drastically? Was it after they broke up on bad terms at the banquet? Or that night?
After the confession with him at the lake...
She thought hard and didn't understand why she loved him so much but refused to let him completely enter her heart. What was blocking her?
Unknowingly, the sky was already dark, and a wisp of red clouds fell in front of the door of Minglou. Mo Yunxiao sat blankly in the shop, staring blankly at the endless flow of people. Her mind was in chaos, not knowing what to do.
How to get out of this bad situation.
Seeing that she hadn't eaten a grain of rice all day, Yun Xi couldn't help but worry, so he brought a bowl of hot tea over and said, "Brother, please have some tea. You've been back for most of the day and haven't even eaten a bite."
Woolen cloth."
Mo Yunxiao took the tea bowl, smiled and said, "I understand, you can go ahead." Yun Xi knew that he could not persuade her, so he had to walk away silently.
Mo Yunxiao lowered her head, stroking her hair with both hands, and smelled the aroma of tea with her nose. She really had no appetite to eat, not even the interest to take a sip of tea.
Just when she was restless, she suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures from the corner of her eye. She raised her head and greeted: "Sir, would you like to have tea or..."
Before she finished speaking, she stopped talking. It was none other than Zhao Ji and his "little follower" Zhang Di.
Zhao Ji walked slowly, waving his fan, and said jokingly: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet the majestic Princess Jian in this humble room."
Mo Yunxiao became nervous, stood up in a hurry, and whispered: "What are you talking about?"
"Did I make a mistake?" Zhao Ji asked with a smile.
Mo Yunxiao didn't want to argue with him, so he just said: "No serious person."
