Chapter 12: The road is rough
The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and the business of the restaurant was relatively quiet. For Douzi, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity.
A great opportunity to take a vacation.
So, taking advantage of a not-so-clear morning, Douzi was in a good mood looking at Muchen, very tactfully, and sincerely suggested to their proprietress that the material, color, and workmanship of the skirt on her body looked very good, and it was simply very beautiful. Okay, so, he wants to take advantage of this not very busy morning, and go out on leave to buy some, so that he can keep the new clothes for the New Year.
After Mu Li heard this, she looked down at the skirt she was wearing, raised her head and said, "Are you buying the cloth of this color to be the bridegroom's official?"
The smile on Douzi's face froze, and he choked out a sentence for a long time: "Miss Boss, this, this, look, you don't want to be a bride by wearing a red dress."
There is some truth in what he said, but... Muli glanced at Douzi, imagined Douzi's appearance in a red dress, and felt an inexplicable chill. If there is such a big red bean dangling around in the inn in the future , what a terrifying scene...
But after all, it couldn't resist Douzi's stalking, and finally Muchen finally figured it out resignedly. Instead of being annoyed by his buzzing to death, it's better to close his eyes and try to be quiet, so Muchen decisively let Doudou slip out .Douzi grinned and ran out the door, almost screaming in congratulations.
Seeing the direction in which Douzi was going, Mu Li suddenly realized that the direction he was going was Widow Qiao's tailor shop.Widow Qiao's youngest daughter, Qiaoya, seems to have gotten very close to Douzi recently.
Really, isn't it just to find a girl to chat with?It's fine to just say no, as for, Mu Li curled her lips, is she such a ruthless person?Still pulling cloth, still pulling red cloth, why didn't she realize that this bean could weave so well before.Muchen rolled her eyes at the back of Doudou running away, and went back to the counter to look through the ledger.
But it turned out that what Douzi thought was not a very busy morning actually had a lot of things going on.
Boring to flip through a few pages of the account book, Muqian went upstairs and took out a thick yellow and old book from the room, and leaned on the counter to flip through it.This "Medical Classics Commentary" was left to her by Bai Guang, and that was the last time she saw Bai Guang.After Li Shousi's case was settled, Bai Guang moved out of Kaifeng City, and she did not stop her.After the case was closed, she didn't even go to see Bai Guang. Although Jiang Wenfei's death was not caused by her, she had personally promised Bai Guang to protect Jiang Wenfei. On the day of the interrogation, she watched Jiang Wenfei die in the execution hall. superior.
It was her fault after all.
But Bai Guang was far calmer than she imagined, just like he had been since the beginning, he calmly told her that Jiang Wenfei was his son, and no one knew Jiang Wenfei's temperament better than him. He had already prepared for such a result.Besides, in this matter, even if there was anything wrong, it was their father and son who were wrong, and Jiang Wenfei was the one who poisoned others, and he didn't teach his son well, so no wonder others.
When talking, Bai Guang didn't even shed a tear, but Muli couldn't hold back the red eye circles. She really regretted it. She should have seen Jiang Wenfei's intentions. He knew that he would definitely go to see Shengtang, so He just invited her to go with him. Outside the execution hall, he held her hand to prevent her from blocking her.But she was like a blind person, even looking left and right absent-mindedly.From the very beginning, she never really cared about this matter, nor did she care about Bai Guang and Jiang Wenfei. What she cared about was always the old events of 21 years ago, but she forgot about the life and death of the people in front of her.
It was her fault that she failed to save Jiang Wenfei and the few relatives she left in this world.
Mu Li flipped through a few pages of "Medical Classics Commentary" dully, and what came back to her mind was the last few words Bai Guang said to her before she left: "In the future, you will understand that the hatred decades ago should be The past will pass, don't put yourself in it for things that can't be changed. Ah Li, you are the last relative of this old man in this world, take care of yourself."
Has it passed?Mu Li held the "Medical Classics Commentary", a little dazed, those things that seem to have passed for a long time, can they really pass away?Even if she wants to retreat, is it really possible?
Just as he was in a daze, he was suddenly patted by someone, and Mu Li raised his head suddenly, but it was A Huang, a boy in the shop. A Huang looked trembling, and holding the tray, he said: "The shopkeeper, the little one just called you Several times, you didn't hear the little one..." He was cautious when he spoke, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Muli didn't care, and continued, "The shopkeeper, the second young master Wang just ordered that his dishes should be prepared by the shopkeeper. You sent it yourself, and the little one told him that you, the shopkeeper, are busy, but the second son..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mu Li: "Prince Wang? What prince?"
Ah Huang hurriedly said: "It's the second son of Wang Yuanwai in the east of the city. He usually..." He lowered his voice, "I'm used to it on weekdays, what to say, anyway, he is rich, so no one dares mess with him..."
Muchen raised her eyebrows: "So? He asked me to bring her food? Which onion did he think he was?"
Ah Huang visibly trembled, not knowing whether he was afraid of Mr. Wang or shopkeeper Mu, he said tremblingly, "Shopkeeper, what about the little one... how can I tell Mr. Wang?"
Mu Li smiled, showing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and said leisurely: "Tell Wang Gongzi, since you come here to eat, you should take care of your mouth, or you will lose all your teeth."
Cold sweat dripped down Ah Huang's forehead, he weighed his fear of Mr. Wang and Shopkeeper Mu in his heart, and finally bit the bullet and went back.
Mu Li watched Ah Huang leave, lost his mind for a while, then lowered his head and continued to read "Medical Classics Commentary", and read it quietly. This book really benefited Mu Li a lot. Bai Guang's medical skills are profound, compared with 20 years ago He earned the title of master poison doctor in the rivers and lakes. After 20 years of seclusion, Bai Guang has a much deeper understanding of medicine. Now there is no strict distinction between medicine and poison in this medical book, and the medicine is not right. It is poison, and the deadly and hallucinogenic poison can sometimes save people's lives... Master also told her about these principles, but she didn't quite understand them at the time. Now reading this medical commentary, it is just like It is the explanation of what Master said back then.
Mu Li couldn't help admiring Bai Guang, but unfortunately, this emotion didn't last long, and was interrupted by a rough and hoarse voice, which asked, "Is this the wood shopkeeper of your family? "
Muchen is not in a good mood. In the early morning, she can't be quiet even after reading a book. Could it be that today's almanac says that she is not suitable for reading?When he looked up, he first saw a short and fat man in gorgeous clothes, and a group of servants with big arms and round waists behind him, and then he saw Ah Huang who was thin and completely non-existent beside him.Mu Chen understood, this one, most likely, is the Second Young Master Wang.
Sure enough, Ah Huang said tremblingly behind Prince Wang: "Shopkeeper, this is Prince Wang, he..."
The short fat man, Mr. Wang, didn't wait for Ah Huang to finish speaking, and approached with a hey smile, his fat face trembling with laughter, he clasped his hands and said with a smile: "This is the shopkeeper Mu, I've known you for a long time."
Mu Li was amused, and said calmly, "Really? I just heard about the name of Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang comes from a famous family, has a good tutor, and has a good father, so his reputation will naturally spread far and wide."
She was sarcasm at first, but the prince was quite proud of hearing it, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper Mu understands people at first glance, and the words are also pleasant to listen to. Today, the master came to your Taibai residence, and the first reason is to target this Taibai residence. This time-honored brand, this er... Hehe, it’s for your name as shopkeeper Mu..." As he spoke, he leaned his whole body on the counter, and a fat hand eagerly touched Mu Li's finger on the page of the book. past.
Mu Li didn't hide, and his eyes fell on the prince's face playfully, thinking whether to knock off the prince's mouth full of teeth to relieve his anger, or break his nose bridge with a punch.
Before he could come to a conclusion, Prince Wang suddenly let out a scream, and fell backwards, with blood running down his face.There was a lot of noise this time, and the eyes of the entire restaurant were focused on Prince Wang.But Muli didn't look at him. Her gaze fell on a young man in white at the door. If she read correctly, the flash of fire and light stone just now should be caused by him using the hand in his hand very quickly. The handle of the fan broke the bridge of the prince's nose.
Muli smiled, ignored the servants who rushed up but didn't dare to get too close, and called out to the young man in white at the door: "Is this young man staying in a shop or playing a top job?"
The boy in white walked a few steps towards the counter, only then did Mu Li see a little girl in a bright yellow shirt followed behind him, with fair skin and big eyes, two big black braids tied with shiny black hair, her head was bowed, she was gentle and quiet. Quiet, looks very delicate.Mu Li only glanced at it, then turned his eyes back to the young man in white, and said with a smile: "There is some chaos in the store, please don't take it seriously, young master."
The young man in white glanced at Muli, and said unhurriedly, "I think you should thank me for breaking his nose first."
Muchen still smiled, and said, "Really? I originally wanted to knock out his teeth."
The white-clothed young man hadn't spoken yet, but the servants beside him had already surrounded him, and they didn't dare to pounce on him, so they asked viciously:
"Tell me, what did you do to our son?"
A group of guys who are used to bullying the weak and afraid of the hard will only have a look of sternness and indifference when they come across a tough idea. Mu Li was amused, and replied for the young man in white: "Your son's nose is broken. If you are killed by him Send him to the hospital for medical treatment before his nosebleed choked to death, maybe he can save his life."
The servants were skeptical, they wanted to carry the prince away but were unwilling, the young man in white seemed to be impatient, and said coldly: "Get out!" The sound was not loud, but the ears of several servants were shaken He was in pain, so he dared to delay, he carried the prince and fled as if fleeing for his life.
The restaurant finally became quieter, Mu Li looked at the pool of blood on the ground, wrinkled his nose, and said to himself: "They should clean up here first before leaving."
Ah Huang was so frightened that he didn't even dare to move, but at this moment he finally regained his composure and hurriedly said, "I'll take care of the shopkeeper."
Mu Li hummed, his eyes were still on the blood on the ground, but he thought about it, this young man is really extraordinary, and he doesn't know why...
Just as he was thinking, the young man in white spoke, his voice still cold: "Are you the new manager here?"
Mu Li raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems that the young master is our regular customer of Taibaiju."
The young man in white didn't speak immediately, but walked a few steps towards the counter, and opened the copper fracture fan in his hand with a swipe. The ink was dripping on the fan, and the painting was a landscape with splashed ink, and an inscription next to it read: Such a country.
Mu Li was stunned, and sighed in his heart, he still used the fan in July and August, and he didn't know whether it was the burnt buns or the thick skin... Just as he was cursing himself, he suddenly heard a soft and waxy voice, but it was the young man in white standing behind him. The little girl, she tugged at the sleeves of the young man in white, and said:
"Brother Zeyan, I'm hungry."
The author has something to say: When encountering a pervert or something, Zhan Xiaomao, you didn’t show up in time for a hero to save the beauty or something, it’s really too weak~~~
A great opportunity to take a vacation.
