I opened a tea shop in Bianjing

Mo Yunxiao paced back and forth in the lobby, a courteous official followed behind her, and two other soldiers desperately wiped the two stools with their sleeves.

The little official took a stool with one hand, walked over with a smile and said, "Madam envoy Shangguan, Mrs. Wei, please sit down." Then he put the stool away.

Mrs. Wei raised her eyebrows and said, "A Lingshi is a Lingshi, why add the word 'female'?"

"Ah! This..." The little official's heart tightened, beads of sweat rolled down his face, he just took a peek at Mo Yunxiao, and dared not speak.

"What is this?" Mrs. Wei continued to speak loudly: "Miss Mo is the envoy personally approved by the official imperial pen. What? Just because we are women, do we have to look at us differently?"

"I dare not!" The little official knelt down in a panic, his hands on the ground trembled, and his voice trembled a little.The other two soldiers couldn't help but feel palpitations.

"Okay, get up." As soon as Mo Yunxiao spoke, it was like a gust of warm wind blowing away the frost in Mrs. Wei's tone.

The little official was stunned, and slowly raised his head to look at Mo Yunxiao.But seeing her smiling, her eyes as clear as water flickering with inspiration, she is completely different from the female Yan Luo that people in Tokyo city have been talking about.

The little official was apprehensive, and didn't dare to move rashly for a while, so he knelt on the spot and said softly, "Damn the little one, damn the little one..."

Mrs. Wei was also stunned, and cast a surprised look at Mo Yunxiao.

"Get up, it's cold on the ground, don't hurt your body." Mo Yunxiao smiled slightly and said, "I will rely on you from now on."

After hearing this, the little official couldn't help being moved.He was stunned for a moment, and then cried out with a "wow", and the people around him were also startled.

Mrs. Wei hurriedly pulled Mo Yunxiao aside, and said in a puzzled tone: "He Lu, what's wrong with you? Where is your dignity? You can't show mercy to these people."

Mo Yunxiao glanced at the little official who was kneeling on his own, and said, "Yu Ru, I understand what you're thinking. A new official takes office three times, but I want to convince people with virtue and let them serve me sincerely." Do things instead of being afraid of the power in my hands."

"Oh, you!" Mrs. Wei poked Mo Yunxiao's temple heavily, and said with a smile, "So, I've become a villain."

After she finished speaking, Mo Yunxiao gave Mo Yunxiao a look, turned around and paced, came to the little official, and said coldly: "Get up, the envoy is sympathetic to you, and you have to work harder, understand?"

"Here!" The little official responded, stood up and said, "Thank you Mrs. Wei, Mr. Lingshi."

Mrs. Wei nodded in satisfaction, and then sat down with Mo Yunxiao.Madam Wei took a look around, her face was straight, as cold as ice.

The little official stood respectfully in front of the two, shy for a while, and then said: "This place is simple, there is no good tea, so I will send someone to the city to buy it for my wife and envoys to eat."

Mo Yunxiao was about to answer, but Mrs. Wei raised her hand and said coldly: "We didn't come here to have tea for fun. Besides, our Lingshi is a girl from the Mo family in Minglou, so we don't need a sip of tea from you." No?"

"Yes, the little one talks too much." The little official blushed up to the ears, and had to lower his head to cover up his panic and embarrassment.

"It's better to ask someone to buy it. We must have water to drink when we are here all day." Mo Yunxiao said this to Mrs. Wei. After she finished speaking, she smiled at the little official and said softly: "These It has been hard for everyone to stay here these days, as long as the affairs here are over, this envoy will reward everyone well."

Mrs. Wei used the method of thunder, but Mo Yunxiao was so mellow.

"That's right, that's right, I'm terrified, thank you for your understanding." The little official was both apprehensive and moved, and tears fell down like beads with a broken thread.

He wiped away his tears, then turned around and told the boy in soap clothes behind him: "Go to the city and buy some good tea and fruit."

As soon as the little servant left, he personally held the roster in front of Mo Yunxiao, knelt down and said, "My lord, this is the roster of all the women trapped in the ghost fan tower, please have a look at it."

Mo Yunxiao and Mrs. Wei looked at each other, then took the roster and flipped through it hastily, frowning and said: "Why is there only a name and nothing else?"

The little official was stunned, and asked: "What else do you need, I will ask you to understand."

"Whether they are married or not, and where they live, I need to know these things. And..."

She paused suddenly, showing embarrassment, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, you go and bring everyone, we will ask you one by one."

The little official wanted to ask some more questions, but when he met Mrs. Wei's stern gaze, he immediately sank down again, so he could only agree, and took a few soldiers with him.

In the empty lobby of the Ghost Fan Building, two desks were placed, and the four treasures of the study were on the desks. Mo Yunxiao and Mrs. Wei sat at the desks, and two servants stood beside them, slowly studying ink.

The fragrance of wisps of ink pierced through one's breath, and Mo Yunxiao took a deep breath, feeling good.

"Hurry up! The envoy summoned you to be honest! Don't cry, the envoy is not happy!" The soldiers held their whips in their hands and said to these women very sternly.

Mo Yunxiao looked sideways, and saw that the women's team had gradually stood up.They wore delicate dresses like gauze, and the line was winding like a rainbow bridge in the sky.

The soldiers who maintained order were holding their whips tightly, with ferocious expressions on their faces. Although the women were dressed gorgeously, they all lowered their heads and wiped their tears silently. Some of them would be reprimanded by the soldiers immediately after sobbing: "Why cry! !"

"Lingshi, please use a pen." The ink researcher has already handed Mo Yunxiao a wolf hair dipped in thick ink.Mo Yunxiao took the pen and gently put it on the pen holder.The boy was a little surprised, thinking that his own ink hadn't been grinded well, and his expression became flustered.

Mo Yunxiao didn't notice him, but said to the soldiers: "Don't insult me!" The soldiers were stunned and looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of her words.

Mo Yunxiao looked around at the crowd, seeing that they were all in a daze, so she could only sigh heavily.

She knows that this era does not have a sense of equality for everyone.Ordinary people are inferior in front of officials and even ordinary officials and soldiers.This natural inequality has already been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and it cannot be changed for a while.

"Put away the whips, and don't hit anyone again." Mo Yunxiao said this lightly, and everyone was also surprised.

The little official rushed over and persuaded: "The envoy is kind, but if you don't restrain them, I'm afraid these women will be difficult to discipline."

Mo Yunxiao looked up at him, and asked back, "What do you want to discipline?"

"Ah? This..." The little official touched a soft nail, feeling a little embarrassed.

Mo Yunxiao glared at him, and said: "I know how to deal with them, do as I say, don't question."

"Here." The little official responded, then turned his head and said loudly to the soldiers behind him, "Have you heard that? The envoy is kind, and no whipping is allowed. You and other women are not allowed to make mistakes."

The soldiers were still at a loss, but the order had to be carried out, so they had to put away their whips.

When the few women saw this, they were still sobbing softly, but now they all began to cry: "Shangguan, you have to make the decision for the little girl!", "Shangguan, the little girl is a girl from an upright family, and I ask Shangguan to be sympathetic to this situation. ah!"

As soon as a few of them cried, the rest of the people also cried.Crying and shouting came one after another, all rushing towards Mo Yunxiao.

The soldiers panicked, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't make mistakes! Don't be rude!" But the number of soldiers is small, and Mo Yunxiao doesn't allow them to beat people, so they are also taboo, and can only control a few women around them by force. .

But the women's emotions were raging, like water breaking a dike and out of control.Except for a few people who were fighting with the soldiers, more people had rushed to Mo Yunxiao's table, pushing the table to make a creaking sound.

Mo Yunxiao was also a little at a loss, and hurriedly comforted her: "Okay, okay, let's talk slowly, don't get excited..."

But the women were not willing to listen, someone grabbed Mo Yunxiao's arm and shook it vigorously. Although there were many soldiers around to stop them, they couldn't control it.

Mrs. Wei stared, stood up and shouted: "The recruitment envoys appointed by the officials inside and outside the city dare to be presumptuous, do you want to rebel?"

Mrs. Wei's tongue was full of spring thunder, and she suppressed the women's cries with a loud drink.Her voice was so loud that everyone could hear it clearly.

Although the girls were excited, they did not lose their minds. They were already faintly afraid when they heard the word "official family", and then they felt even more terrified when they saw Mrs. Wei's stern face that kept strangers away, so they slowly backed away. , but the cries and sobs continued.

Mo Yunxiao and Mrs. Wei looked at each other, then straightened their messy clothes, and said, "I understand everyone's suffering, we are all women, and we should be considerate of each other. This is also a good intention of the officials. Don't worry, everyone, now that the chaotic party has been punished, no one will make things difficult for you in the future."

"Lingshi Shangguan, we...we are all from an upright family... Now that we have fallen into this tiger's den, how will we behave in the future!"

After a woman said this, she sat on the ground and began to cry, and all the women who were suffering from each other naturally also sat on the ground and began to cry.

Mo Yunxiao wanted to dissuade her, but she couldn't speak, and she was at a loss.

Mrs. Wei looked at them and walked towards Mo Yunxiao step by step.Mo Yunxiao smiled wryly, and asked, "Yu Ru, what do you think?"

Mrs. Wei swept everyone away and said, "It's really difficult to take care of the reputation and arrange it properly."

While speaking, her eyes fell on a seven or eight-year-old girl, and she couldn't help showing suspicion.

The little girl was hiding among the women. When everyone was standing, they couldn't see her. At this time, the women were sitting on the ground hugging each other and crying, but the little girl was still standing straight, so she could be seen at a glance.

The little girl was wearing a loose white shirt that was almost dragged to the ground. Inside was a tight-fitting beanie, and her lower body was a pair of faded flared trousers that covered her feet.

The little girl's dress was a little weird, but her pair of shining eyes were shining brightly, and she didn't look away from Mrs. Wei.

She has no expression on her face, but her facial features are well-proportioned, her skin is fair, she is a cute little girl no matter what, and her waist-length hair is as soft as satin.

Mrs. Wei looked at her, but she showed no fear. On the contrary, Mrs. Wei read a bit of arrogance that only Mo Yunxiao had in her eyes.

Mrs. Wei's spirits lifted, her curiosity allayed her doubts.She ordered the servants beside her to bring the little girl over.

The little girl glanced at the boy, then walked over gracefully, looking up at Mrs. Wei and Mo Yunxiao.

When Mo Yunxiao was at a loss, he was a little surprised to see this little girl suddenly, and couldn't help asking, "What's your name?"

"My surname is Wang, but I don't remember my name." The little girl replied.

Mo Yunxiao and Mrs. Wei looked at each other, couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's strange, how can someone not remember their own name?"

"I don't remember!" The little girl said confidently: "My father died when I was four years old. I grew up in Beiqu brothel, so I don't even remember my name."

"Since you were in the brothel, why did you come here again?" Mrs. Wei asked.

"I was young, so they sold me to the Cao Gang because they thought they spent too much money on me." The little girl said, "In a few days, the officers and soldiers have come in, and you have come too. "

"Presumptuous, what are you and us?" The soldier reprimanded.

The little girl ignored her, but took Mo Yunxiao's hand and asked, "Sister Lingshi, how are you going to deal with us?"

Mo Yunxiao thought the little girl was interesting, so she squatted down and squeezed her little hand, and asked, "How do you want me to deal with it?"

The little girl shook her head and said: "I don't know, I only know that women are the most miserable people in the world. If they are not born into rich and noble families, they will suffer for the rest of their lives. Let me tell you, sister, if you grow up in Minglou, you will not understand what we are waiting for." Suffering. I was born poor, even if I went to Minglou or Fanlou to be a handsome guy, I would feel stupid."

Mo Yunxiao's eyes were open, and she was blessed to the heart.She said: "Yes, since you don't want me to deal with it hastily, may I help me?"

"He Lu, you..." Mrs. Wei was about to speak, but was stopped by Mo Yunxiao: "I have a sense of proportion."

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she asked, "What can I do for Sister Lingshi?"

"Can you write?" Mo Yunxiao asked.

The little girl shook her head.

"Can you use calculations?"

The little girl was still shaking her head.

"Then..." Mo Yunxiao smiled ghostly, and said, "Go and persuade those sisters to stop crying and let them line up. I want to register."

The little girl nodded heavily, then walked slowly among the girls and said loudly, "Sisters, please listen to me."

Her voice is young, but very loud.The girls were also curious, so they stopped crying one after another, and all of them looked at this girl.

Mrs. Wei looked at Mo Yunxiao and asked, "Have you already made up your mind?"
