You have the ability to spread rumors, and you have the ability to make fake plays for real.

Back at Zhan's house, Zhan Ziran immediately started to take care of the shop, and the Chinese New Year would be in half a month.

The Spring Festival is the only "luxury" festival that allows people to spend their annual income to go out without any scruples.

Of course, it is also a harvest day for businessmen.

Zhan Ziran emptied himself and bought a lot of goods for several shops, hoping to get back some blood by the Spring Festival.

And Zhan Ziran received a large sum of money the next day.

It was the money for ten suits, which was just enough for Zhan Ziran to buy new year's goods.

Zhan Ziran sighed deeply.

Looking at this income, I have mixed feelings.

Not sure what he was thinking.

Although I ordered a suit after sleeping and drinking that night, it was considered a debt of favor.

Qi Le didn't understand what Zhan Ziran was thinking, and said, "Master, why did you buy so many herbs?"

Zhan Ziran spends most of his money collecting medicinal materials, and Zhan's family also owns a pharmacy.

Zhan Ziran looked out the window. It had been snowing for three days in a row, and there were very few passers-by outside. Many people bought a lot of New Year's goods and shipped them home together.

Looking at the snowflakes outside the window, Zhan Ziran said softly, "This winter will be very long."

"Ale, when you came to pick me up from Mo's house that day, did you know the man who brought you in?"

The movements of Qi Le's hands paused, and said, "Well, I knew each other when I was studying."

Zhan Ziran recalled that the man looked tall and tall, and he looked like a Lianjiazi.

"He is working under Mo Ershao now, probably to protect Mo Ershao's safety."

"Is he good at it?" Zhan Ziran asked.

Qi Le nodded: "When he was young, he lived with the owner of the Chengdong Wuguan."

Zhan Ziran's heart was awe-inspiring, and he didn't dare to offend Mo Xu. Now that he was like a weak chicken, he couldn't help beating him up.

"You'll help me with something later," Zhan Ziran took out a few dollars and put it in Qi Le's hand, "You take it and make some money, and you can eat the rest."

Qi Le arranged a meal for Zhan Ziran, greeted the housekeeper, and walked out alone.

The housekeeper: "Master, where is Qi Le going?"

Zhan Ziran was wrapped in a blanket and holding a book by the brazier, but his thoughts were not on the book at all.

"I asked him to inquire about some news for me."

Zhan Ziran thought for a while, and then said: "When Mo Xu comes back this time, is there no movement from the young master of the Mo family?"

He was still suspecting that the rumors that day were fabricated by Mo You.

The housekeeper said: "Everyone is talking about this. When Second Young Master Mo returned to China, this Master Mo went to see him in person in the other hall. Although First Young Master Mo is Master Mo's eldest son, after all these years, his ability has not improved. I heard from others that Master Mo intends to let Second Young Master Mo take over the Mo family."

Zhan Ziran frowned, thinking that Master Mo treated Mo Xu badly when he was a child, did Master Mo think that a few greetings would make Mo Xu willing to come back to work for him?

The housekeeper said: "I know what you think, young master, but the Mo family is the largest family in our Haicheng, and they are involved in all walks of life. Who can not be tempted by anyone who puts it in front of them. After all, who doesn't want this ready-made?"

Zhan Ziran nodded and put it in front of him, it was impossible for him not to be moved.

But Mo Xu's performance really doesn't look like he has settled down with Mr. Mo, on the contrary...

Zhan Ziran pondered for a while and found a suitable word.

Jade all burnt.

Yes, this is the feeling.

He had been feeling this way yesterday, Mo Xu's mood was very wrong and unstable, Zhan Ziran couldn't say a word to him.

And he carried the feeling of wanting to destroy everything at all costs.

The calm before the storm, the sunset before the night.

"He doesn't seem to be interested in these..." Zhan Ziran sighed softly.

The housekeeper was also a little bit embarrassed. He had seen Mo Xu from a distance and was shocked. If others hadn't said that it was Mo Er Shao, he would not have recognized him.

He was once such a good boy, like a black bamboo in a bamboo forest, standing against the wind, slender and straight, with a humble heart, one can't help admiring him.

Now, at first glance, it is a little scary.

How did it grow crooked.

Zhan Ziran suddenly thought of something, and said in embarrassment: "A few days ago, I heard, uh, there was a rumor that I had something with him..."

Butler Cai was stunned for a moment, "There are so many, which one are you talking about?"

Zhan Ziran said unnaturally: "What do you say I have with him..."

"what?"

Zhan Ziran's face was slightly red, and he was annoyed that the housekeeper was not understanding at all: "There is...the reality of husband and wife."

Butler Cai choked: "There are indeed rumors outside, but it's not you..."

"No!" Zhan Ziran raised his voice, "I have nothing to do with him, and what ever we had was also Plato!"

Butler Cai asked puzzled, "What is Plato?"

Zhan Ziran choked: "It's just spiritual love, without that or that..."

Butler Cai suddenly realized, "Then the rumor outside is...?"

"I just don't know where it came from."

The housekeeper said: "Rumors change when they are passed on. I pass it on to you, and you pass it on to others. The way of saying it is different. Maybe they all say the same thing in the end. Do you think so?"

That's right, butler Cai's words made Zhan Ziran even more distressed.

Mo Xu must have thought he had passed it on, and he didn't seem to believe his words, and maybe he was thinking of how to punish him.

Discuss life.

Zhan Ziran's mind was full of Mo Xu's words.

Can't tell what it's like.

How to ask?

So what?

Fulfilling past facts...

But Zhan Ziran felt ashamed, and felt that he had ruined Mo Xu's reputation. Mo Xu had done his best by not killing him on the spot.

Just thinking about it and driving to some edges to rub.

Zhan Ziran felt embarrassed after thinking about it, cleared his throat and asked, "What is the original story about me and Mo Xu?"

This stumped the housekeeper, he thought for a while and said, "I'll ask and tell you."

The housekeeper went down, and Zhan Ziran read until the afternoon. In the afternoon, the housekeeper came in with an account, saying that all the goods had been properly put on the shelves, but as the end of the year was approaching, there was a large debt to be repaid.

Zhan Ziran settled the wages of the lowest-level workers first, and after finishing these, there was really no dime left on hand. Fortunately, when the goods came in, there would always be some blood.

When it was almost night, Zhan Ziran didn't see Qi Le coming back for a long time, so he asked two servants who hadn't left to look for Qi Le, but they couldn't find him.

Zhan Zi ran around in a hurry, something happened to Qi Le, right?

When it was nearly midnight, Qi Le came back suddenly, his face pale.

"What's going on?" Zhan Ziran looked at the person from top to bottom.

Qi Le said: "It's cold outside, go in and talk."

Entering the back room, Qi Le's body was not damaged at all.

Zhan Ziran: "I thought you went to check on Moxu and he found out..."

Qi Le thought for a while and said, "Yes, I found it."

Zhan Ziran almost lost his breath, Qi Le told him to be calm and made him a cup of tea.

"It wasn't discovered by Young Master Mo, it was...his cronies."

Zhan Ziran was stunned for a moment: "Oh, you came back so late because of him?"

Qi Le nodded, opened his mouth to say something, but didn't say anything.

He really didn't expect Du Yunchen to work under Mo Xu's subordinates. He was very shocked when he saw him last time in the Mo's villa.

Zhan Ziran: "Did you find out something?"

Qi Le put everything else aside and nodded: "Yes, I found out something."

Zhan Ziran sat upright and listened attentively.

"You also know that Mo Er Shao didn't live in the Mo family since he was a child, because Mo Er Shao's mother did not marry into the Mo family."

Zhan Ziran knew about this, Mo Xu's mother was not a famous lady, but a pillar of "Qing Xiuji", who was once very popular.

Speaking of which, Zhan Ziran seemed to have never heard of Mo Xu's mother in recent years.

Zhan Ziran had seen her before, she was a very elegant and beautiful woman, her face was not wearing any makeup, but she was still very beautiful without makeup.

Zhan Ziran's mother is different. His mother is gentle and generous, literate, and occasionally reads poems with Zhan Ziran.

Zhan Ziran: "Mo Xu's mother is still in the troupe? Why didn't I see her in the other hall?"

Qi Le was silent for a while, and said, "She passed away."

Zhan Ziran was stunned, and after a while he let out a breath and asked, "Did he die of illness?"

Qi Le shook his head: "I don't know, I only know that about three years ago, Mo Er Shao passed away during his third year abroad."

Zhan Ziran was silent.

It happened to be a period of time when Zhan Ziran's memory was confused. At that time, his mother had just passed away, and he was in a daze...

At that time, Zhan Ziran could hardly take care of himself. He had to attend funerals, wear mourning, and all his tears were shed.

Wait, Zhan Ziran thought of this, and suddenly raised his head.

"That……"

Qi Le nodded: "About three months after Madam passed away."

Zhan Ziran closed his eyes, the color on his lips faded, a sense of suffocation surged up, he seemed to have returned to the time when his mother died in an instant.

Feelings of guilt, confusion, and fear intertwined.

I have been with my mother all year round, and when my mother passed away, I could hardly bear it.

What about Mo Xu?

The Mo family can't accommodate him, he lives with his mother and only goes back to the Mo family on weekends.

It can be said that before Zhan Ziran entered Mo Xu's life, Mo Xu only had a mother.

Far away, I heard the news of my mother's death.

Zhan Ziran didn't dare to imagine what would happen to Mo Xu.

Should it be five times or ten times as much as oneself.

How sad.

Zhan Ziran calmed down slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "But... Even so, it won't make him like this, right?"

Qi Le also had lingering fears, Mo Xu was too scary last time.

"You can help me find out the news tomorrow and find out why Mo Xu's mother died."

Qi Le's face was a bit perplexed, and Zhan Ziran asked, "What's the matter, you don't have a good relationship with that person? If it doesn't work, forget it, it's the same from other channels."

"That's not true. I've known him since I was a child. He is by Young Master Mo's side. The news must be his hand. I'll go there tomorrow."

Zhan Ziran: "You won't force it, will you?"

Qi Le gritted his teeth and said, "No."

"That's it," Zhan Ziran was so focused on this matter that he didn't notice the details of Qi Le's expression.

Only three months later, because of his mother's death, Zhan Ziran didn't have any other concerns at all.

At that time, Mo Xu's news had begun to decrease, and when Zhan Ziran came to his senses later, there was no news of him.

There must be something unclear about it.

Qi Le's expression was a little strange, and he said, "There is one more thing."

"What?" Zhan Ziran turned his head sideways, thinking it was a big deal.

"A few days ago, something happened to the Chamber of Commerce. The young master Zhou of the watch shop was drunk, and he was beaten by a drunk on the road..."

Zhan Ziran asked with a question mark: "Then what is it?"

"That's what..." Qi Le blushed.

Zhan Zi suddenly understood, he was speechless for a long time, and finally said: "He is a man, how could he be caught by a drunk..."

"Drunk men don't like meat and vegetables. I'm afraid they've been holding it in for a long time. Shopkeeper Zhou is young and has delicate skin and tender meat."

Zhan Ziran: "..."

Fortunately, he took Mo Xu's car that day, otherwise, his skin and tender meat were much more tender than that shopkeeper Zhou, what would happen.

Wait, Mo Xu's car.

He heard about shopkeeper Zhou in the car.

Does it have anything to do with Mo Xu?

Qi Le looked at Zhan Ziran, but still said the follow-up, "I heard someone comment that before that, shopkeeper Zhou chewed your tongue at the chamber of commerce."

Zhan Ziran: "He..."

Zhan Ziran felt that his petite heart was like a forest deer, bouncing, bouncing, bouncing.

Qi Le: "The interest is to chew the root of your tongue, and also brought Young Master Mo, so it won't be for you. Didn't you report it in the newspaper just now..."

Zhan Ziran was suddenly woken up by Qi Le's words, so he stopped jumping.

"Go and rest, you're tired too."

After Qi Le left, Zhan Ziran sat at the desk again, fiddled with the brazier after a while, turned off the lights, and lay down to sleep.

·

In Mo Xu's study room, Du Yunchen was standing in front of Mo Xu's desk. He was the one who "drunk" shopkeeper Zhou and threw him to the side of the street. Then shopkeeper Zhou "coincidentally" was targeted by the drunk.

"I heard you met someone today? We talked for a while," Mo Xu flipped through the newspaper in his hand.

Du Yunchen nodded after hesitation: "It's the book boy next to Master Zhan."

Mo Xu knew, and asked, "What do you want from you?"

Du Yunchen: "Reminiscing about the past."

Mo Xu raised his eyebrows: "Just reminiscing about the past?"

Du Yunchen thought for a while and said, "I also asked some questions."

"whats the matter."

Du Yunchen took a look at Mo Xu's face, and felt that he was in a pretty good mood at the moment, and said, "I'm asking about you."

Mo Xu stopped turning the page, raised his head, and squinted his eyes, "It looks like the abacus hit my head? What did you ask?"

Du Yunchen said: "About your mother..."

With a bang, Du Yunchen was startled, and the things on the table suffered.

Mo Xu looked up at him: "What did you say?"

Du Yunchen shook his head: "I didn't tell him anything, you can ask outside about what I said."

"He has a good relationship with you?"

Du Yunchen thought about it for a few seconds, "It's not a good relationship, it's just an acquaintance since childhood."

Mo Xu: "He didn't ask anything, and he will definitely come again. If he asks you again, you can cut him off."

"Cut it off for what?"

Mo Xu sneered: "Take it down, I can do whatever you want, but you go directly to Zhan's house and tell Zhan Ziran, if you need someone, come to my house to find me."

Whatever he does?

Du Yunchen was silent for a few seconds. He knew that Mo Xu was a person who didn't play cards according to common sense, so he couldn't disobey him, so he nodded.

Zhao Zhiyu came in from the outside at this time, and Mo Xu's mood stabilized a little, so Zhao Zhiyu opened his mouth.

"I checked what you asked me to check. It's no problem. I also found some other things. Young Master Mo is collecting medicinal materials recently."

Mo Xu sneered: "What does it matter to me that he collects medicinal materials?"

"The posture is not right. Several big companies in the surrounding area have promised to only supply the Mo family in the next month. It is estimated that the young master of the Zhan family will not be able to get it. He is trying to monopolize the medicinal materials, and the weather will be cold in the future. , there must be an urgent need for cold-dispelling medicinal materials and anti-freezing medicine."

Mo Xu glanced at the heavy snow outside, the white flakes were either black or white, without color.

Mo Xu said, "Cut it, you cut it."

"This...how do I intercept this?"

Mo Xu said coldly: "Threats, temptations, stumbling, and you still need me to teach you? Take my blame."

"But doing this, what are you planning...?" Zhao Zhiyu didn't understand, this matter was actually not about Mo Xu's business, so he just told Mo Xu by the way.

"I don't plan for anything, I just try not to make him happy, and if I don't go well, they can't think about it either."

Zhao Zhiyu: "But we will lose out in this way."

Mo Xu leaned back on the leather chair and snorted lightly: "I don't have any money in my account?"

Zhao Zhiyu: "That's not..."

"I'll do it for you right away," Zhao Zhiyu didn't dare to be fooled, agreed, and left the study room. Just after he left the study room, he heard Mo Xu's voice behind him.

"How can I get along with my heart, how? Let me think, let me think."

Zhao Zhiyu stopped, wanting to listen.

After a while, Mo Xu's voice came from the room, and there was a hint of joy in the voice, "Du Yunchen, quickly intercept him, yes, robbery."

Mo Xu smiled lowly: "I want to find Master Zhan Shun Shun Xin."

Du Yunchen came out from the inside and saw that Zhao Zhiyu hadn't left downstairs, so he came over and asked, "Master Zhan, is he really going to arrest and beat Master Zhan? I see that Master Zhan is weak, so I can't help but touch him, will he?" Will it kill someone?"

Zhao Zhiyu: "..."

Du Yunchen said again: "What do you think I should do?"

Zhao Zhiyu: "As for you, just stop the book boy with all beards and tails. As for Young Master Mo, you can't lose even one hair."

Du Yunchen froze, raised his eyebrows three seconds later: "You mean..."

Zhao Zhiyu nodded: "Now, the only one who can give the young master a smooth ride is the young master Zhan."
