It’s Hard For a Good Wife and Mother - Chapter 71
“Is Doctor Feng here? Doctor Feng, please help my mother, her leg is broken…”
Suddenly anxious shouts came from outside the gate of Qianyao Hall, and Mu Qianche came back to her senses suddenly, and hurried out of the door regardless of the cold breakfast.
The person who came was a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, his clothes were torn several times, and he was unkempt, and the middle-aged woman who was carried by him was about thirty years old, and his clothes were also torn in many places , and unkempt, cold sweat frequently burst out from his forehead due to the pain and flowed down in strands, flushing the dirt on his face out of some gullies, and the skin under the gullies was actually very fair.
Seeing Mu Qianche coming out, the young man put his old mother on the bench in the lobby of Qianyao Hall and asked anxiously, “Excuse me, are you Doctor Feng? Doctor Feng, please come and help my mother take a look. Her leg was crushed…”
“I’m not Dr. Feng. Dr. Feng has gone out to see a doctor. However, I know a little bit about medicine, so I can look at your mother’s legs.” As Mu Qianche said, she knelt down to look at the middle-aged woman’s legs.
“Ah, ah, thank you very much…” At first, the young man had some doubts about Mu Qianche’s medical skills, but when he saw that his technique was neat and orderly, he fixed his mother’s leg bone in a few strokes, and wrapped it with medicinal gauze layer by layer. After tying the knot tightly, he was convinced in his heart.
At this time, the middle-aged woman was so painful that she passed out. In the end, Mu Qianche quickly went to the pharmacy to grab some medicine packets for the young man, and asked him to take them home and fry them for his mother to eat.
The young man bowed to Mu Qianche with gratitude, which made Mu Qianche think of Modai again, remembering how she bowed deeply to him every time, remembering the way she talked and laughed at him, thinking of her… Mu Qian Che suddenly shook off the messy thoughts in his head, he shouldn’t, he shouldn’t have thought about these things…
“Doctor? Doctor?” The young man called Mu Qianche repeatedly, and when Mu Qianche came back to his senses, he saw the young man handing him a fine jadeite pendant. Medical expenses?” The boy said cautiously.
Mu Qianche touched the jade pendant, feeling puzzled for a while. This jade pendant was worth a thousand taels of silver at least, which was definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people. It was tattered, but the material was not bad. When he was looking at the middle-aged woman’s leg just now, he found that her leg was extremely red and swollen, and it must have been crushed for a long time.
Seeing that Mu Qianche was holding the jade pendant for a long time without making a sound, as if doubting their appearance, the young man hurriedly said: “Doctor, this is our own, not stolen. Really, we met someone on the way to Guqu County.” When the bandits robbed me, my father and younger brothers were all killed, and my only sister was also… My mother and I were crushed under the overturned carriage and narrowly escaped our lives, but my mother’s leg was crushed by the wheels of the carriage …” When the young man said this, his heart was sour, and tears flowed out. He quickly raised his sleeves to wipe the tears, and when he wiped, the fair skin on his face was exposed.
“Listen to the accent, you don’t look like locals.”
“We are from Qingzong Town, Laiyang County. Our family is in the rice grain business. This time, we came to visit relatives in Guqu County. My grandmother is from Shuiquan Town, Guqu County. Oh, by the way, my grandmother’s name is Bai Yiliu! “
Mu Qianche was startled: “Who are you, Bai Duoyin?”
“It’s my aunt. My mother and I came directly to Qianyao Hall, and we will go find my aunt later!”
“You can take this jade pendant back first, and return it when you have money!” Mu Qianche handed the jade pendant back to the young man. The young man hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it.
“Then, doctor, can my mother lie down for a while in this Qianyao shop, I’ll go find my aunt first!”
Mu Qianche nodded, and the young man was grateful again.
Not long after the boy left, several people were called to carry the middle-aged woman away with wooden planks and paid the money. Immediately afterwards, several patients came, and Mu Qianche kept busy until Fengshou came back from his visit.
Fengshou first put the medicine box on her body back to the pharmacy, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the breakfast she brought to Mu Qianche in the morning unmoved on the desk. I think he hasn’t eaten his lunch yet! Although she kept asking him to eat at her house, which was not far from Qianyao Hall, he always had an excuse not to go, and it was hard for her to force him.
She has been thinking about his relationship with that blind girl. He placed the whole family of that girl in his old house. He should be happy with that girl for doing so! She had always hoped that he would remarry and live a good life, so that her old friend Izumi Youzhi would also feel gratified! Originally, he would go back to live in his old house, but these days, he stayed in Qianyao Hall every day. Could it be that he had a fight with that girl?
When Mu Qianche was about to feel the pulse of an old woman, Fengshou patted him on the shoulder: “Ache, that’s fine, you go out for lunch, I’ll come!”
“No need, Aunt Feng, I’m not hungry.” Mu Qianche said naturally.
The harvest is displeased: “Go! How can you not be hungry? I haven’t eaten a grain of rice since morning, and I’m hungry watching it!”
Mu Qianche was dumbfounded, but he really didn’t feel hungry, and he didn’t have any appetite at all. If he wasn’t asked to do something, he couldn’t calm down in a panic all the time. But Fengshou obviously didn’t intend to let him see a doctor here again, so he went to the yard and scooped water from the water tank to wash his hands.
And at this moment, Mo Dai stepped into the gate of Qianyao Hall with a square bamboo box, and as soon as she entered the door, she met Mu Qianche who was about to go out, and the two of them stood in a daze for a moment. place.
A young servant in Tsing Yi from the Thousand Medicine Hall also came in from the door, and when he saw Modai, he suddenly shouted: “Ah, I remember you, aren’t you the blind girl that Young Master Che brought? “
Modai smiled and nodded: “It’s hard for you, brother, to remember me!”
The young servant was suddenly shocked by that bright and gentle smile, and blushed inexplicably: “The girl is very kind, I, we all remember, hehehe…” After saying that, he quickly saluted and went to the yard to turn over the medicinal herbs, but From time to time, I would look back and peek a few times, and I always felt that the girl’s face seemed to be more beautiful after not seeing her for a long time!
Seeing that Mu Qianche was still staring at her blankly, Mo Dai was actually a little nervous. After all, she was the one who confessed to Mu Qianche in a panic last night. As she analyzed, she actually had a crush on Mu Qianche for a long time. If she thinks about it carefully, it is very possible that he stayed in her heart when she first heard his high-quality and beautiful voice. This is her first love, right? Although the soul of an older young woman like her admits that she is a bit shameless, but it is even more serious that a woman in the world of female dignitaries becomes shy and embarrassing after boldly confessing to a man.
The first love or something is also the first time in her past and present life. She wants to try to work hard. If she still can’t do it by then, she will come to the phrase “what is mine is mine after all, what is not mine is useless” Comfort yourself!
“Qianche, I’m here to see you!” Mo Dai first broke the frozen atmosphere between the two, her voice seemed to be quite loud, and this was not considered a surprise attack, after all, she had told Mu Qianche last night that she See you soon.
Mu Qianche’s scalp tingled as he followed, and no matter how calm he was, he felt a little embarrassed, especially when Fengshou, who was consulting people in the lobby, glanced at him from time to time: “You… let’s go out and talk .”
“Okay, let’s go out and talk about it.” Mo Dai deserved to be very straightforward, and while pulling Mu Qianche out, she turned her head and said to Fengshou, “Aunt Feng, I will take Qianche away, and he will come to watch for others tomorrow diagnosis!”
Mu Qianche’s scalp was numb again, and he wanted to break free from Mo Dai’s hand, but suddenly he heard Fengshou say with a smile: “Take it away, take it away, and let him rest at home for a day tomorrow. He hasn’t been able to eat well or sleep well in the past few days, and his whole body has lost weight, girl, please take good care of him, a man needs a woman to hurt him!”
Modai responded with a smile: “Thank you Aunt Feng for reminding me, I know, I will take good care of him!”
Mu Qianche suddenly felt as if thousands of ants were crawling all over her body, and goose bumps all over her body. He withdrew his hand abruptly, but Modai didn’t care, she just put her arm around his arm, getting closer to him.
“Miss Mo…”
“Please respect yourself?”
“you…”
“Shameless?”
“I…”
“not comfortable?”
“…”
Mu Qianche has surrendered, he can’t say no to her, let her go, she will get tired of him after a while… Thinking of this, another scene suddenly flashed in his mind, he froze his body suddenly, gritted his teeth Bite hard.
Mo Dai noticed his strangeness, and asked: “Is it really so uncomfortable? Then I won’t hold your arm anymore.” After saying that, Mo Dai really let go of his arm. At this moment, Mu Qianche couldn’t help letting go of your arm. In one breath, then, in the next second, Mo Dai said, “Let’s hold hands!”
Mu Qianche followed and froze again, and Mo Dai sighed secretly, what she is using now is completely the way of modern ruffian men to pick up girls, she has to be tough, take the initiative, and do everything she can, but it seems useless to Mu Qianche, Instead of letting him tense up and be on guard all the way, it would be better to talk to him lightly.
“Qianche, let’s go to our inn, it’s quite quiet there.” Mo Dai simply put a short distance away from Mu Qianche, if she was in a hurry, she was really afraid that he would fly away on tiptoe.
Mu Qianche was silent, he noticed Modai’s wording, she said “our inn”, after a long time, she said: “Okay.”
When we came to the door of the inn, a tall pepper tree grew abruptly beside the door, and there was a small wooden sign hanging on the branch of the pepper tree, which read: The hero who smoked the thief.
Mo Dai’s eyelids twitched, Xiao Xiao was a bit exaggerated, she only asked her to plant the pepper tree at the door, but she didn’t let her put up a sign!
“Qian Che, I decided to replace the word “inn” with “massage parlor”, and you can write the words!” Mo Dai pointed to the plaque and said.
Mu Qianche nodded.
Entering the lobby, I found that the screens and counters that were cut down yesterday have been repaired. At this time, Shangshui is directing the craftsmen to build a bamboo house on the side of the female soup. Xiao Xiao and Shangshui’s two sons, Shang Dashangtong, are helping. Shangren and Shangyi, Shangshui’s two husbands, were in charge of serving tea and water and taking tools.
The corner of Mo Dai’s mouth twitched, a mistake! Originally, she wanted to find a quiet place with Mu Qianche to have a quiet date and chat, drink tea, eat something or something, so she specially made food and brought it here.
“Qianche, I thought it would be quieter here, but during the construction period, you can’t be quiet if you want to, so you can just make do in this lobby. You haven’t eaten yet, this is the food I made, and it’s still warm .”
Mo Dai pulled Mu Qianche to sit behind the counter in the lobby, and then opened the boxy bamboo box. The first layer was neatly cut egg rolls and fried golden barrel meat rolls , the second layer is a snow-white rice ball, the rice **** are decorated with eyes and mouths with red beans, the expressions are very interesting, some are crying, some are laughing, and some are dumbfounded. The third layer is a cup of pickled sour radish Silk and a bamboo tube with honey and hawthorn water.
Mo Dai took out a pair of chopsticks from the lid of the bamboo box and handed them to Mu Qianche: “Come, eat quickly, don’t waste it.”
To be honest, Mu Qianche had no resistance to the food made by Mo Dai. Although he still wanted to say that he was not hungry, when he saw the food in the bamboo box that was so beautiful that he couldn’t bear to eat it, his stomach was full of pain. He cried out very honestly. Mu Qianche was embarrassed, and felt that her stomach was really embarrassing to herself. It was like this when she was in Mojia Village, and she still doesn’t repent.
Seeing Mu Qianche not moving her chopsticks in a daze, the corners of Mo Dai’s mouth twitched again, well, she admitted that if someone was staring at her like that, she wouldn’t be able to eat, so she should walk away.
Mo Dai had only taken two steps when Mu Qianche suddenly said, “Your eyes can see now.”
“Ok.”
“…Do you regret it?”
“No regrets!”
“In the future you will…”
“I won’t either!”
“…” Mu Qianche fell silent.
Mo Dai didn’t say any more, because it’s meaningless to say anything now, only time will prove everything, and she will let Mu Qianche understand that she, Mo Dai, is not someone else, nor is she an ordinary person, she can do what she says, Unless he betrays her first!
Mo Dai went to Nv Tang to help, and Shang Shui and her two husbands were also happy for her when they learned that Mo Dai’s eyesight had recovered. When Shang Ren and Shang Yi found that their two sons blushed subconsciously after seeing Modai, they couldn’t help lamenting in their hearts, God, wouldn’t the sons be interested in the new owner of this inn? No way!
At this time Xiao Xiao hadn’t noticed Shang Da Shangtong’s thoughts, and when he saw Mo Dai appearing, he excitedly stepped forward to talk to her, and Mo Dai also didn’t notice it.
And Mu Qianche in this room stared at the food for a long time, and finally started to eat with his chopsticks. Once the food was in his mouth, his chopsticks couldn’t stop.
At this time, Shang Shui came to the lobby to get a long wooden plank for use. Seeing what Mu Qianche was eating, he subconsciously glanced at it, and immediately became a little dazed after just one glance. Are those eating? It’s so delicately made, who would want to eat it?
So he instinctively asked: “My lord, where did you buy your food? It really looks good and smells delicious!”
“I didn’t buy it.” Mu Qianche temporarily stopped her chopsticks and said.
“You made it yourself? Ouch, your cooking skills are really good, your wife is lucky!” Shang Shui praised.
Mu Qianche’s body froze, and she said calmly, “I didn’t do it either.” His cooking skills were appalling.
“Ah, did your brother do it?” Shang Shui also talked too much today, there is no way, she is very grateful to this mysterious young man who is not afraid of evil forces to buy her inn, so she is more enthusiastic towards him than ordinary people Little did they know that her enthusiasm made Mu Qianche feel very stressed.
“No…” Mu Qianche felt as if she wanted to burn herself.
“Could it be your wife…Miss Mo did it?” Shang Shui finally guessed the truth.
“…” Mu Qianche suddenly didn’t know how to answer. If he nodded, he would admit that Mo Dai was his wife. If he didn’t nod, it was indeed Mo Dai who cooked the food. He wanted to say something to Shang Shui , the words “your wife’s owner” in your last sentence are redundant, but he can’t say it. ?”
Mu Qianche picked up a golden barrel meat roll, intending to be polite, thinking that Shang Shui should be able to comprehend it, how could he be willing to give it to others for such a delicious thing? Unexpectedly, he miscalculated, Shang Shui actually stepped forward, wiped his hands on his body, took the golden bucket meat roll that Mu Qianche was holding, opened his mouth wide, and stuffed it in. Then there was repeated “delicious, delicious, delicious”, Mu Qianche’s hand holding the chopsticks was frozen in place, and he couldn’t recover for a long time, and his heart ached so much that he wanted to throw Shang Shui out.
After Shang Shui finished eating, he happily carried the wooden board towards the female soup. Mu Qianche suddenly accelerated the speed of eating, and he finished all the food in a short while, not even the last shredded sour radish was left. After eating, he drank the sour and sweet honey and hawthorn water in a bamboo tube, and he felt happy, and life is nothing more than this…
However, when he thought about it, the memory image in his mind that he had been trying to suppress jumped out again. He suddenly put the bamboo tube in his hand on the counter heavily, and kept holding the bamboo tube. Trembling, it took him a long time to calm down, looking at Modai who was walking towards him, the smile on her face was as beautiful as a flower blooming in his heart, she would be happy for him like this ,is it possible? May I?
“Qian Che, let’s go home!” Mo Dai said.
go home? Can he go back again?
Seeing that Mu Qianche was in a daze again, Mo Dai simply put the bamboo tube and the porcelain cup containing shredded sour radish into the bamboo box, then took his hand and walked out. Mu Qianche just let Modai pull him, as if she was leading the lost him home. At the beginning, every time she told him helplessly that she was lost, and asked him to lead her out of the lost way, but now their positions have changed, he has become a lost person, and this time she is leading her. He went astray.
When Mo Dai and Mu Qianche returned to Mo Mansion at the same time, the whole family was very surprised. Xu Shaolin and the others didn’t know why Mu Qianche didn’t show up for several days in a row, they all thought he had something to do, after all, Mu Qianche was mysterious in their impression, and they wouldn’t ask any more questions.
Mo Xiaoyu, who had seen Mu Qianche’s real face, was a little nervous and afraid when he looked at Mu Qianche. After all, Mo Dai taught her better. After Mo Xiaoyu saw her encouraging smile, he hesitated. Walking forward, she said to Mu Qianche in a childish voice, “Uncle Che, are you in pain?”
Mu Qianche was taken aback for a moment, and then she looked away, Mo Xiaoyu immediately threw herself into Mo Dai’s arms aggrieved when she saw it, tears also flowed down her face, crying sobbingly.
Mu Qianche was dumbfounded. The reason why he looked away was because he wanted to cry, but he didn’t want his actions to hurt the child’s heart, so he stood there awkwardly, at a loss.
Mo Dai thought it was funny, so she whispered a few words in Mo Xiaoyu’s ear. Mo Xiaoyu stopped crying, but still twitched in grievance: “Really? Uncle Che is not angry? Doesn’t he know how to hit people?”
Mo Dai nodded, and Mo Xiaoyu smiled through tears.
Mu Qianche’s scalp tingled when she heard Xiaoyu’s question. So in the child’s heart, is he the kind of person who would beat others?
Mu Qianche finally returned to live in the front yard of Mo Mansion, and ate three meals a day at home on time. Xu Shaolin, Mo Dai, Xiao Xiao and the two younger ones didn’t feel anything, but the three brothers Xiao Sheng and Mo Wuyun felt inexplicably that the day when Mu Qianche joined their team was not far away.
Seven days later, the bamboo house used as a massage room was built, and the tables, stools, bookshelves, and wooden couch inside were also completed according to Mo Dai’s requirements. In addition, during this period of time, other preparations were also made processing.
Mo Dai asked the three brothers Xiao Sheng and Mo Wuyun to embroider the seven characters “Shangshanruoshui Massage Parlor” and a pair of overlapping hands on all the white towels for guests to bathe in as the massage parlor’s logo. . In addition, she also designed the unique uniforms of massage parlors. Regardless of men and women, the upper body is a white jacket and the lower body is black skirt pants. The name and logo of the massage parlor should also be embroidered on the jacket and skirt pants. All the staff in the massage parlor must wear uniforms when they go to work, and their hair is tied high to make the whole person look energetic.
The current main staff of the massage parlor are Modai, Xiao Xiao and Shang Shui’s family. There are six people in total, and six sets of uniforms are needed. In addition, there are more than one hundred towels, large and small, for guests to bathe in. Therefore, to make Uniforms and embroidery are a big project. The three brothers Xiao Sheng and Mo Wuyun rushed to work day and night, and they just finished it on the day of the official opening. Seeing their red eyes, Mo Dai felt very sorry, so when they were rushing to work, she made a midnight snack to accompany them, and conceived of more money-making ideas along the way.
When Mo Dai told Mu Qianche about the idea of medicated bath, he thought it was feasible, so he took the initiative to study the medicated bath. Of course, this is not urgent. First of all, Mo Dai wants to promote her massage to the whole Shuiquan Town , when the effect will be good, the population will pass it on, and there will be no worries about making money.
Three days later, Modai’s Shang Shan Ruo Shui Massage Parlor officially opened.
In order to achieve a publicity effect, Mo Dai decorated the front of the massage parlor with flowers and plants, and specially invited a lion dance juggling troupe to play in front of the inn and set off some firecrackers. Then Mo Dai stood at the door on the temporary high platform specially set up for her to introduce what is massage and massage and the various benefits of massage and massage, and asked Mu Qianche to write it and post it on the bulletin board and place it outside the gate of the massage parlor for people to read.
On the first day of opening, Mo Dai, based on the principle of discounting big rewards, asked Xiao Sheng to make a lot of small snacks in advance and put them on the counter. As long as anyone patronizes, he will give them some snacks to eat with them.
Because Modai can only massage five to six people a day, most of the people who came to visit in the past still just soak in the hot springs and then leave. The price remains the same. Soup costs sixteen coins per person. As for massage, each massage costs one tael of silver. During the massage, boiled water is provided free of charge. If you need tea and snacks, you need to pay extra money for purchase.
In addition to the flowers and plants on the bookshelves in the massage room, there are also purses, silk handkerchiefs, brocade bags, and children’s clothes embroidered by the three brothers Xiao Sheng and Mo Wuyun. If the customer likes it, they also need to spend money to buy it.
In this way, several kinds of business can be done at the same time. Of course, I don’t know how the effect will be, so I will try it first.
However, what Mo Dai didn’t expect was that not long after the opening, there were six customers who wanted massages, and Gu Yue was among the six people, and the other five were her husband and three, and her daughter was Gu Yue. Gu Hong, the magistrate of Qu County, and Gu Qu, Gu Hong’s fifteen-year-old daughter.
When Gu Yue blinked her sparkling eyes at Mo Dai, Mo Dai felt like being shocked by electricity.
Gu Yue is half a head taller than Mo Dai, with a thin body and a slightly hunched back. Although her face is full of wrinkles, she is very energetic, especially her sharp eyes like a falcon. She was also handsome and handsome when she was young. woman. The appearance of Gu Hong and Gu Qu followed that of Gu Yue. Putting the three of them together, it was like walking alone from childhood to old age. Gu Yue’s three husbands all seemed to be kind-hearted and kind-hearted, and they were all about the same size as Gu Yue.
Seeing that Mo Dai was looking at their family calmly, Gu Yue suddenly stepped forward and held Mo Dai’s face, looked left and right, and finally said: “Girl, are your eyes okay?”
Mo Dai’s face was crumpled by Gu Yue, and after finally getting rid of it, he said: “Yes, thanks to the care of the old lady of Mongolia, Mo Dai is very polite!”
“Tsk, don’t make me angry, I still like you to call me ‘grandmother’!” Gu Yue rolled her eyes at Mo Dai, “Today I brought the whole family here, when are you going to have a massage?”
Mo Dai glanced at the three women and three men in front of her, then pulled Gu Yue’s sleeves and walked aside and whispered: “Old woman, my massage parlor has just opened, and I am the only one who can massage, if you don’t mind me doing it for you?” If the couple give massages, I will definitely stick to professional ethics, don’t look at what you shouldn’t, don’t touch what you shouldn’t, if you still don’t feel at ease, then let your three husbands come back later!”
Gu Yue frowned when she heard Mo Dai’s words, “Don’t look at what you shouldn’t, and don’t touch what you shouldn’t touch”. As soon as Modai finished speaking, she slapped her on the back of the head: “Sex Girl, you still want to take advantage of the old man!”
Mo Dai immediately lowered her eyebrows: “How dare I.”
“Don’t you dare? If the old man says he doesn’t mind seeing you touch it, do you dare?” Gu Yue grinned, her white teeth showing a cold air.
“Hehe, don’t dare!”
“Just don’t dare! Well, let them take a hot spring first today, they are good at wine and desserts, just prepare some sake with little stamina and some desserts!” Gu Yue said.
Mo Dai immediately clasped her fists and bowed again: “The old lady is indeed a hero among women, she treats her husband so considerately, the younger generations really admire her!”
“Go! Don’t wear a tall hat to the old man!” Gu Yue gave Mo Dai another look, and then called her daughter and granddaughter to go to the hot spring in the female hot spring. As for her three husbands, Modai let the monk Shang Da lead them together. They went to Nantang, and asked Xiao Xiao to go to the winery to buy some plum wine and come back. As for the dessert, Xiao Sheng’s red bean shortcake was of course.
The bamboo hut is for women’s baths, and those who bathe in the bath can see the massage situation inside the door from the outside. Gu Yue’s granddaughter, Gu Qu, couldn’t help being hot, she felt dizzy after soaking for a while, Gu Yue laughed and said Gu Qu was useless. The door whispered: “Sister Mo, can you give me a massage?”
Mo Dai nodded with a smile. She wore a white jacket and black culottes, black and white were distinct, her black hair was tied high, and her bangs were all combed up, making her look extremely neat and tidy.
Gu Qu was lying on the wooden couch with a soft mattress, naked from top to bottom, she was a fifteen-year-old girl, her skin was fair and supple, but in order to avoid hurting her skin, Modai still used sesame oil to lubricate it. The massage this time is for the whole back, unlike the previous massage for Gu Yue, which mainly targeted at her low back pain.
At first, Gu Qu didn’t feel anything, but felt that there were hands touching his back and wanted to laugh, but as soon as he wanted to laugh, he felt pain, wailed at the top of his throat, and screamed not to press it, Gu Hong saw it , just when he was about to reprimand Mo Dai, he caught a glimpse of his old lady staring at her viciously: “Why are you in such a hurry? Your precious daughter is spoiled by you into a little flower in the greenhouse, and a little bit of frost can wilt her, but It’s just a massage and you call it like this, it’s a worthless thing!”
Gu Hong was displeased: “Mother, are you calling your granddaughter worthless? Although Qu’er is not good at martial arts, she is good at reading. She will definitely win the exam in the next year!”
“Ah bah! Can someone like her be able to read well? Gu Hong, just keep spoiling her. I bet your mother that she can’t do it. A little setback will break her fighting spirit!”
“Mother, you only scold me, and you never saw you caring about your own granddaughter!”
“That’s fine, in the future, leave the ancient music to me to discipline, you don’t have to talk nonsense!”
“Uh, yes, my daughter knows!” Gu Hong replied in a low voice, but he was praying for Gu Qu in his heart. Daughter, don’t blame me for throwing you to your grandmother. Niang has to admit that your grandmother’s insights in some aspects are quite brilliant!
Gradually, Gu Qu stopped complaining of pain and felt comfortable. At the end of the massage, she actually fell asleep. Thinking of her reading and writing all day long, with a strict grandmother and a county magistrate’s mother, the pressure is not insignificant , It’s so comfortable to be pressed on today!
Immediately afterwards, Gu Hong received a massage. At the beginning, she reversed the cowardly appearance she had when getting along with her mother, narrowed her sharp eyes slightly, and asked casually: “Miss Mo, what impression does my mother have on you?” Very good, how did you catch up with her?”
Although Mo Dai could hear the doubts in Gu Hong’s words, she didn’t care much, and without changing her face, she briefly described the situation on the day when Gu Yue talked to her. When Gu Hong heard that it was his old lady who took the initiative to talk to Mo Dai, he suddenly felt ashamed, but he couldn’t help it, his old lady’s temper was very weird, she didn’t like many things, once she liked her, she would ignore her Go talk to people.
“I heard that you cleaned up the proprietress of the Xiquan Inn?” Gu Hong asked again.
“No, it was my friend who was cleaned up by the proprietress of Xiquan Inn, and almost lost his life.” Mo Dai said suddenly, “Master Gu, I’m going to use my strength.”
Gu Hong wanted to ask something else, but a sudden pain made her scream, and Gu Yue sat on the bank and sipped tea while cursing: “You useless thing!”
Gu Qu glanced at her grandmother tremblingly, feeling sorry for her old lady. To be honest, she also felt that her old lady was screaming too loudly, as if she could bear it!
Gu Hong was also pressed to sleep, it was Gu Yue who slapped her face roughly to wake her up, the first thing Gu Hong said when he woke up was: “Mother, you are so wise, this massage is really comfortable !”
Gu Yue’s face suddenly turned red strangely, and then he replied forcefully: “Nonsense, my old body is naturally honest and credible! Hurry up and change to my old body!”
Gu Hong got up from the wooden couch, and when he walked out of the bamboo house, Gu Yue’s words came from behind him: “Hui Er, this is the most comforting thing you have said to your mother in the past thirty years!”
Gu Hong’s eyes suddenly turned red. How long has it been since her mother called her baby name again? She couldn’t remember clearly, it seemed that her old mother had called her by her first and last name since she was sensible. Unexpectedly, her mother would call her by her baby name in this massage parlor today, which really flattered her.
When Gu Yue’s family left in comfort, Gu Yue actually dumped ten taels of silver to her. Even after adding snacks, sake and tea, it would not cost four taels of silver. It can be seen that Gu Yue deliberately took care of her business. Dai’s impression of Gu Yue got better. He took the initiative to give her the brocade bag with the cartoon bunny pattern that Gu Yue liked, and gave them a bag of honey bean shortbread that Gu Yue’s three ministers liked.
Gu Yue appreciates Mo Dai’s attitude towards people and things, and Gu Hong also thinks that Mo Dai is a bit interesting. She will come to massage more in the future, and it is necessary to deal with her. not bad.
After that, two more people came to get a massage. They said that they heard Gu Yue’s introduction, and the massage was very comfortable, so they also came to try it. Both of these two are wealthy households in the town, and they only go to the Xiquan or Quantang inns to soak in hot springs on weekdays. They have never looked down on this kind of commoner inns. I came here today purely to save Gu Yue’s face, and I didn’t have much expectation in my heart.
However, after this massage, they realized that Gu Yuecheng did not deceive them. The massage was really comfortable, and the snacks and tea were also good, especially embroidery was on sale. Those children’s clothes were novel and unique, and the workmanship was exquisite and meticulous Than everyone, it happened that both of them had granddaughters who were one or two years old, so they each bought two sets and brought back a pack of snacks. The children’s clothes cost four taels of silver, which was much more expensive than when they were sold to Fumantang. The snacks were given to them, and each of them spent more than nine taels of silver. In the end, they happily gave ten taels of silver and left satisfied.
It was the opening of the business. After massaging the five people, Mo Dai went home. She wanted to hand over the money for selling children’s clothes and snacks to Xiao Sheng and Mo Wuyun to make them happy. And Xiao Xiao naturally had to stay in the massage parlor until closing time before going home.
After returning home, Xu Shaolin, Xiao Sheng and Mo Wuyun were overjoyed when they heard that four sets of children’s clothes had been sold. A few days ago, they were still worrying that it would not be a long-term solution for the money to come in. There is another income, it really is an eye-opener!
That night, when Mu Qianche came back, he was also happy for the opening of the massage parlor. However, when Modai mentioned how much money he spent to buy the inn, he avoided answering it, as if he didn’t want to make Modai feel uncomfortable. Pay him back the money. Modai didn’t force him either, thinking that sooner or later he would be her family, so she didn’t need to worry too much.
When Mo Dai looked at the black veil hanging from Mu Qianche’s bamboo hat, the thought of wanting to heal his face that he had mentioned earlier appeared again, but she only spoke, and he started to change the subject again. Although he still wears a black gauze hat all day long, Mo Xiaoyu is no longer afraid of him, because he will teach Mo Xiaoyu Kung Fu in the morning, and he has already been promoted to a kind of hero in Mo Xiaoyu’s mind.

Now that she has four husbands, she needs to arrange her own bedtime every night. How to sort it out, the left and right is that she can no longer sleep alone every night.
Modai said: “Father, can I think about this question for a few more days?”
Xu Shaolin sighed: “Big…Mo Dai, is this question difficult?”
Modai also sighed: “It’s hard.”
Xu Shaolin said again: “Are you afraid that they will think you’re unfair? Otherwise, how about father thinking about it for you every night?”
Mo Dai lowered her head, her heart was in a mess.
Xu Shaolin was afraid that Mo Dai would be pushed into a hurry, so he slowed down and said: “Father knows that you have been tired all day, and I am also a little worried for you, so let’s think about it for a few more days!”
Mo Dai suddenly raised her head and said: “Father, I did something wrong. I was thinking too simply. Why don’t you take turns in order? Last time it was Xiao Sheng, next is Wuyun, tomorrow is Wufeng, and the day after tomorrow It’s Wuqing, is that okay?”
“Hey, okay, let’s do this! The two little ones are in your room, daddy will take them, you go to rest quickly!”
Mo Dai’s scalp went numb, and Maru Niu stared at her feet: It’s time to come,
