I opened a tea shop in Bianjing

Chapter 66
Mo Yunxiao's originally happy mood was completely spoiled by the incident of throwing himself into the lake.Huan'er's suicide made her heartbroken, but what made her even more puzzled and puzzled was the strangeness that Huan'er showed.

Huan'er has a strong personality, daring to love and hate, but also respects and loves herself.She will not be too self-deprecating because of her low status.This is also what Mo Yunxiao appreciates about her.

However, last night, Mo Yunxiao clearly saw a level of humbleness in her eyes that she had never seen before.She is cautious and 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 has suffered an irreparable mental blow after repeated incidents?Could it be that she really relied on Zhao Si and separated herself?Or does she have another reason, another unspeakable hidden secret?

Sitting in the carriage, Mo Yunxiao was puzzled, so she let out a long sigh and put the matter aside for the time being.She lifted the curtain of the car and glanced at the street market. The streets of Tokyo City were still bustling and bustling, with the cries of hawkers and the sounds of pedestrians bustling one after another.

"I really don't know what's going on in the store." She couldn't help worrying as she thought about it.Worried about the poor business due to his absence, worried about the battle between Yunxiang and Yunxi, worried about the unforgiving second grandmother Zhang Yuner giving Du Juan small shoes...

Mo Yunxiao clenched her hands tightly, like a bride returning home for the first time after getting married, her heart was full of apprehension and uneasiness.However, when she stepped on the horse and got out of the car, all her worries gradually dissipated.

Minglou still has such a small frontage, Yunxi, who was yelling hard, saw her at a glance, and then ran over with a happy face, saying: "Big girl! You are back!" She took another look, Mo Yunxiao She is luxurious, far from the desolate look after the house was stolen.

"Brother girl, where have you been? But you became the wife of a rich family? Why haven't you heard of it?" Yunxi became curious and eager to find out.

Mo Yunxiao smiled lightly and said, "Did you ever hear of a girl named Linglong these days?"

"Of course I've heard of it! Now the whole Tokyo city has spread, saying that a little singer is actually favored by the majestic King Jian..." At this point, Yunxi came to his senses and stared at her with big eyes. His daughter-in-law covered his mouth and shouted: "God! It turns out that Miss Linglong is the daughter-in-law!"

Mo Yunxiao pinched her hand and said with a smile: "Keep your voice down, don't stir up trouble. Come on, let's go in and talk about it."

It was the morning at this time, although there were many pedestrians on the street, there were not many people who came to have tea, and there were no tea customers in the shop.

Yunxi yelled as she walked in: "Everyone is out! Look who's back!"

Du Juan on the counter raised his eyes and called out in surprise.She ran over quickly, asking questions, Zhou Laosi was naturally alarmed, and hurried out to have a look.Mo Yunxiao sat down and gave a general account of her experience during this period, and everyone was amazed.The first is Mo Yunxiao's courage and wisdom;

Just as everyone was discussing, Li Xian'e and Zhang Yun'er also came out one by one.The two of them have not changed much from before, but they have shed their glitz more and more, looking like ordinary women.

Li Xian'e smiled happily, but before she could speak, Zhang Yun'er took the lead: "Yo! Someone's rich lady has come to the shop. We can't afford to entertain you."

Such inappropriate words made everyone look angry, but they are elders and masters after all, so it is difficult for others to say anything.

But Mo Yunxiao stood up, and asked with a smile: "Second Mistress is well, I wonder what happened to Yunxiang?"

An embarrassment immediately appeared on Zhang Yun'er's face.Li Xian'e and Yunxi also covered their mouths and laughed without speaking.Mo Yunxiao felt strange, so she asked Du Juan, "Where's Yunxiang? Why don't you see her coming out?"

"Second Miss, she..." Du Juan blushed, and didn't know what to say.

Mo Yunxiao thought something was wrong, and immediately pushed everyone away, and went straight to the backyard.She entered the room and called as she walked, "Yunxiang! Yunxiang..." Seeing Yunxiang sitting on the couch, her pale face showed exhaustion.A thin blanket covered her legs, and a pair of exquisite "wrong to the bottom" was placed on the side of the bed.

She was already drowsy, but suddenly saw Mo Yunxiao's eyes brighten up again.But her eyes were filled with infinite sorrow, her lips twitched a few times, and suddenly she lay down on the bed with a "wow" and cried bitterly.

Mo Yunxiao was taken aback, and hurriedly asked her: "Yunxiang, what's wrong with you? Has anyone bullied you?"

While she was talking, Li Xian'e and Zhang Yun'er also ran in, and they all stopped when they saw this scene, and cast their eyes on Mo Yunxiao.

"Mo Yunxiao! Are you satisfied! Now I am the same as you!" Yun Xiang cried and said, "Don't you laugh at me! If any of you laugh at me, I will hang myself to death, and I will be clean!"

"Yunxiang! What are you talking about!" Mo Yunxiao's tone became severe, she didn't understand why Yunxiang was so excited.

Yun Xiang cried for a while, and gradually turned into a soft sob.She raised her head faintly, still squinting at Mo Yunxiao, and said, "Look!" She suddenly lifted the blanket, exposing her feet that had been released.Her feet have also regained the appearance of "natural feet", and she no longer needs to be wrapped in thick foot-binding cloths.

Mo Yunxiao was taken aback, but after the surprise, she was secretly happy.Li Xian'e just sighed, but Zhang Yun'er began to sob.

"Yunxiang, you've finally figured it out and are willing to stand by our side, aren't you?" Mo Yunxiao happily walked over, wanting to get closer to Yunxiang.

But Yunxiang still had a mournful expression on his face, and shouted: "Stop! Don't come near me!" Mo Yunxiao was taken aback, and could only stop.

"My Xiang'er, my poor Xiang'er..." Zhang Yun'er wept bitterly, crying more and more sadly.

Mo Yunxiao looked around the three people in the room, and knew that Yun Xiang's letting go was not because of her willingness, but because she couldn't bear the pain of being isolated.This was indeed a very difficult choice for her.

Knowing this, Mo Yunxiao only felt deep sorrow.

It is true that the ancients worked harder than the modern people.Many modern people can easily make decisions without even thinking 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 heavenly feet." Mo Yunxiao said, "If you want to cry, you can cry happily. After you cry, you have to live on."

After she finished speaking, she turned and went out.Zhang Yun'er hurriedly went up to comfort her daughter.Li Xian'e sighed heavily, and exited the room while saying "Bodhisattva blesses".

Mo Yunxiao came to the front hall with mixed feelings.Putting Yunxiang's affairs aside for now, she now wants to check the operation of the store.What she was worried about did happen to a limited extent.The ledger shows that in the days when he is not here, the running water in the store has been reduced by almost half.The membership card system of Minglou must be based on teaching children to read and write.However, no one in the store could take on this role except Mo Yunxiao.

She frowned slightly, thinking of Huan'er again.Huan'er used to be a girl in her own family, not only literate but also read some poems, books and articles. She is a rare educated woman in this era.

However, she seemed to be a different person now, making herself completely unknown.

"Although the girl is not here, the younger one and the third girl can also support it." Du Juan said: "The third girl has worked hard, and the store has added a lot of new customers."

Mo Yunxiao knew that she was relieving her, so she could only smile lightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yunxi also came over, and said a little coyly: "Brother, in fact, those new customers in the store were not called by me, but... but..."

She seemed a little embarrassed to say it, but after thinking about it, she said, "Young Master Zhao called you."

"Mr. Zhao?" Mo Yunxiao showed a surprised expression, and asked, "Which Mr. Zhao?"

"Which other Mr. Zhao is there? Mr. Zhao Pang, Mr. Zhao." Yunxi replied.

Mo Yunxiao felt even more strange, and said, "Him? Why would he entertain us?"

Du Juan interjected, "Since you left, Miss, Mr. Zhao has come every day. Seeing that the store is deserted, he invited some officials and nobles to come to the store every day for tea and chat."

"Besides, everyone's shots are extraordinary, and they will give you two bowls of tea for a bowl of tea." Yunxi became happy again, and said, "It's just that I haven't seen him in the past two days."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Mo Yunxiao thought carefully, Zhao Ji went to Jian Wangfu to attend the banquet the day before, and according to Yunxi, the two days since he didn't come, isn't it the two days after the banquet?

"It seems that he wanted to please, but he found that I was already Princess Jian, so he felt hopeless and stopped coming."

Mo Yunxiao sighed, with mixed feelings in her heart, and said, "Let him go." Then, she turned and sat on the side, looking a little unhappy.

Yunxi and Du Juan looked at each other, then went up to meet her and asked her, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Mo Yunxiao smiled lightly, and said, "I just feel empty in my heart, quite uncomfortable."

Yunxi 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 taken."

Sure enough, there were not many tea guests on this day, and even when it was time for the master, there were only a few 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 were pressing on Mo Yunxiao, which made her even more sad.

She only felt that she was lonely and helpless, and searched around the people she knew, but there was no one she could talk to except Mrs. Wei.

Huan'er could have talked heart-to-heart, but she has changed, and she is no longer as intimate with herself as before; and Mrs. Wei once warned herself not to fall in love with Zhao Si, but she didn't listen to her.And Zhao Si, the man she is deeply in love with, doesn't seem to be a good person to talk to.

She felt that there was always something between herself and him.She didn't know when this layer was formed, after Huan'er's temperament changed drastically?After breaking up at the banquet?Or after the confession with him by the lake that night...

She was thinking hard, not understanding why she loved him so much, but she refused to let him into her heart completely.What exactly is blocking her?

Unknowingly, the sky was already dark, and a red glow sprinkled in front of the door of the Minglou.Mo Yunxiao sat blankly in the store, staring blankly at the endless crowd.Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know how to get out of this bad situation.

Seeing that she hadn't eaten a grain of rice all day, Yunxi couldn't help but feel worried, so she brought a bowl of hot tea over and said, "Brother, let's have a cup of tea anyway. It's been half a day since you came back, and you haven't had a bite yet." Woolen cloth."

Mo Yunxiao took the tea bowl, smiled, and said, "I see, you can go." Yunxi knew that he couldn't persuade her, so she walked away silently.

Mo Yunxiao lowered her head, stroked her hair with both hands, and sniffed the aroma of tea.She really had no appetite to eat, not even a sip of tea.

Just when she was restless, she caught a glimpse of two figures out of the corner of her eye.She raised her head and greeted, "Guest officer, do you want tea or..."

Before she finished speaking, she stopped, and it was none other than Zhao Ji and his "little follower" Zhang Di.

Zhao Ji came slowly, shaking his fan, and said jokingly: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet the majestic Princess Jian in this shabby room."

Mo Yunxiao became nervous, stood up hastily, and said in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"

"Am I wrong?" Zhao Ji asked with a smile.

Mo Yunxiao didn't want to argue with him, so she just said: "No one is serious."

Du Juan and Yunxi also saw him and hurriedly greeted him.Yunxi hurried up to meet him and said, "So it's Mr. Zhao, what kind of tea do you want today?"

Zhao Ji coughed heavily twice, and said: "I have been feeling cold for the past two days, and I don't want to drink tea."

"Oh, what snack do you want?" Yunxi asked again.

Zhao Ji smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't want dessert either."

Mo Yunxiao picked up her tea bowl, took a sip of the hot tea, and said, "He's clearly here to make us happy." After speaking, she turned around and left.

"Miss Mo!" Zhao Ji called out, and Mo Yunxiao stopped walking. "I have something to say to you, but I just don't have the chance. Unexpectedly, you came back today. Can you and I talk about it?"

Mo Yunxiao turned around and asked coldly, "What is there to talk about between you and me?"

Zhao Ji came up a few steps and said: "At the banquet that day, Zhao seemed to force you, but I helped you out."

"Little girl accepts your favor." Mo Yunxiao was a little displeased.

"I don't need you to accept my love, I just want you to know that I have no malice towards you." Zhao Ji said.

"Hmph! You were in Jinmingchi that day...wasn't that malicious or kind?" Mo Yunxiao was ashamed and indignant every time she thought about it, and she turned around and left without saying this.

But Zhao Ji immediately said: "I was wrong that day, I was too reckless and abrupt, girl. I apologize." He said and bowed to Mo Yunxiao.

Mo Yunxiao saw that his attitude was sincere, and most of the resentment in her heart had disappeared, and then re-examined her heart, only to find that Zhao Ji's uninvited presence was actually a small surprise to herself.She seemed to be looking forward to his coming.

"This is not a place to talk, you come with me." After she finished speaking, she strode out of the store.Zhao Ji and Zhang Di naturally followed, leaving only Yunxi and Dujuan confused.
