"What did you say? It's right to take the wind and wash away the bad luck. Let's go. No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat." Mo Lizheng glanced at his daughter Mo Huaixiang with some embarrassment. Mo Huaixiang understood what her father meant, took two steps forward, and whispered to Gu Yezhou: "Almost all restaurants are closed now, and the ones that are open are also very expensive. Let's forget it. We appreciate your kindness. "You don't have to worry about this. This is my wish. Let's go!" Mo Li nodded when he saw that Gu Yezhou was sincere. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much! I just have something to discuss with my husband." Ning Sanmei whispered: "Husband, can I go back and get you some money?" "No, I brought it with me." Gu Yezhou smiled. He said, "You will come too." "Oh" Ning Sanmei's big eyes fluttered. She was a peasant woman, and she was already very satisfied to be married to a scholar like Gu Yezhou, and she didn't dare to expect it. She was able to attend similar events with her husband, but unexpectedly her husband took the initiative to take her with him, which made her feel happy and proud. Zeng Biaotou and others said goodbye and went back. Seeing that Mo Lizheng's three sons had no intention of leaving, Gu Yezhou obviously wanted to go to the restaurant with them for dinner, so he walked over and said calmly: "Master Mo, I have something to say to your father and sister, and it's really inconvenient for others. I'm here, so I'll have to invite three more people next time. Sorry." "The three brothers Mo Mingzhi are a little embarrassed. They can't follow them shamelessly, let alone get angry. Their father is here, so they can't even say a few sarcastic words. . He could only snort. Turned around and left. A few days ago, he went out for medical rounds. He had traveled all over the city, and he knew which restaurants were still open for business, and they were concentrated in the wealthy areas near the Yamen. There are probably only three or four. If the restaurant Zixi mentioned really existed in the county, it might be one of these restaurants. Zeng Biaotou and the others got off two carriages. Gu Yezhou and his wife, Mori Zheng and his daughter each took one or two carriages and headed to the restaurant. Arriving in front of the restaurant, Gu Yezhou ordered the carriage to continue walking, while he raised the curtain to watch. We passed two restaurants that were open for business. No carvings similar to jade plaques were found on their plaques. At the third house, Gu Yezhou finally saw the complicated and beautiful patterns carved on the tall plaque. Sure enough, there was the mysterious monster pattern in the lower left corner! Gu Yezhou ordered the car to stop. He got off the carriage and did not look at the pattern again. He walked to Mori Zheng and his carriage, lifted the curtain, and said, "How about we stay in this house?" Mori was busy getting out of the car and took a look. It's a restaurant called "Zhiweixuan". This restaurant is not the largest in the city. But it's very exquisite. Mori used to frequent this place. The food here tastes very good, but the price is a bit expensive, so there are relatively few guests. He nodded immediately and said: "The guest is welcome." Gu Yezhou smiled and nodded, and followed Mo Li into the restaurant side by side facing the blizzard. Behind him, Mo Huaixiang took Ning Sanmei's arm and followed him in. Restaurant. The waiter in the restaurant recognized Mo Lizheng, who was a regular customer here. He quickly nodded and bowed with a smile on his face, and asked someone to quickly notify the shopkeeper in the backyard. Because the business was not good, there were not many people in the restaurant. The shopkeeper was idle in the backyard. Hearing that Mori Zheng and his daughter were here with guests, which was a good business, he hurriedly welcomed him out in person and hurriedly handed over his hands. greeting. Mo Lizheng himself felt a little guilty. He was no longer the wealthy Li Zheng in the past. His family's wealth had been exhausted long ago, and he now relied on his children's uncle to support him. Moreover, his uncle and aunt's faces were getting uglier day by day. Don't know how long it can last. How can I afford to patronize such an expensive restaurant now? So Mori Zheng hurriedly introduced the owner Gu Yezhou: "This is Mr. Gu from our village, and he is the host today, hehe." The shopkeeper quickly gave Gu Yezhou another smile, cupped his hands and said, "I have admired you for a long time. , I often hear Mo Lizheng talking about Mr., who is extremely talented and knowledgeable. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation! Hahaha." Gu Yezhou also returned the favor. The shopkeeper personally led them to the private room on the second floor facing the street. Asked: "What do you guys want to order today?" Gu Yezhou smiled: "Now that there is a famine, do you have any good things here?" "The so-called 'The wine and meat in the Zhumen are smelly, and the roads are frozen to death'. We are here Although Zhiweixuan is not a famous restaurant, it is not without delicious food. Here is the menu, you can just order it." Gu Yezhou took it and looked through it, and it turned out to be a dazzling array of dishes. He smiled and said: "I don't know how to order it, so let's just choose the signature dishes of your restaurant, serve them on the table, and get your best wine. I am entertaining Mr. Satomasa of our village. Isn't that right?"?Sloppy. "Mo Li was smiling coquettishly, with a look of shame on his face. The shopkeeper agreed repeatedly and left. Because there were no customers, the restaurant cooks were all busy with their table. The dishes were served very quickly. After a while, The exquisite banquet was served. Looking at the sumptuous and delicious food, Mo Lizheng's eyes widened. In the past, such a banquet would naturally not move him, but now, their family has grown from wealth to high status. He is no different from ordinary civilians, how can he afford such a banquet? Mo Huaixiang whispered: "Isn't it too expensive? " Gu Yezhou smiled and said: "That's right. I think back when Gu was down and out, you two gave me meat for every meal, but you never thought about spending money. Gu still remembers this in his heart. "Mo Huaixiang felt happy and sad at the same time as she thought about the past, and her eyes were red. "Gu Yezhou added: "Today, just to ask the officers and soldiers to save me, I did not hesitate to discuss it in a low voice with my mortal enemy Tan County Lieutenant. Isn't this kind of friendship worth it?" A banquet? " Mo Lizheng was very moved, and he cupped his hands and said: "Now that my family is in decline, my husband does not dislike me, which makes me really grateful. " "You're welcome, come on! Let's have a drink! I'll serve you three glasses of wine first, so that I can catch the wind and wash away the bad luck. " "Thank you! "The two drank three drinks in a row, and Mo Huaixiang and Ning Sanmei also followed. Gu Yezhou persuaded Cai again. Then he said: "Didn't Li Zheng say that he had something to discuss with me? Please tell me. "Mo Lizheng sighed and said: "Although I am locked up in prison, I also know that there is a big disaster happening outside. First there was hail, then heavy snow, then extreme cold, then high winds, and now a steady blizzard. This is not letting people live. well! After I was released from prison, I thought that my family was in ruins and no one would care about me anymore. I didn¡¯t expect that except for you, sir, many people in the village cared about me. After learning that I was released, they all came to see me" Mo Huaixiang whispered: "They mainly came to see if you could give them something to eat. "Moli smiled and said: "They mainly came to visit me. Of course, they also let me know about their current hard life. Alas, as the leader of a village, I feel very uncomfortable seeing the miserable life of the villagers. I heard that many villagers starved to death or froze to death. It was really heartbreaking. I am thinking about how to help these folks" Mo Huaixiang added another sentence: "We are almost unable to survive, so daddy should think about what we should do. " "Helping others is also helping yourself! "Moli Zheng said: "After I came out, I walked around and asked around, and I learned that during the last strong wind disaster in our county, almost all the rice merchants' granaries were looted by the strong wind. Most of the rice merchants' grains were blown away, including some. Many of them were picked up by disaster victims in the city, and these victims were considered a blessing in disguise. However, there are too many victims, and this is not enough for them to eat for a long time. Now many victims have run out of food. However, the fields outside the city were covered with snow. There was no way to dig wild vegetables. Even the trees were almost chopped down. The villagers had no firewood for heating, and many froze to death. Everyone cried and asked me to think of a solution. But what can I do? " Speaking of this, Mo Li was looking at Gu Yezhou, cupping his hands and saying: "Sir, he is the only scholar in our village, and he is well-informed. Therefore, I would like to ask for advice from Mr. Yu. Please enlighten me sir. " Gu Yezhou flatly refused: "I don't dare to take it seriously. Even Li Zheng can't think of a way. How can I have any good ideas? " Gu Yezhou has clearly seen the villagers of Gong'e Village. The so-called people are poor and have short ambitions, and the horses are thin and hairy. Especially when they encounter successive catastrophes, they are selfish, benefit themselves at the expense of others, and even repay kindness with hatred like Shuize. He is a person worthy of sympathy, not to mention that he doesn¡¯t have any good ideas, and even if he does, he doesn¡¯t want to speak out to help such people. Mori was crying: "I also know that this is a difficult problem, but I can't just turn a blind eye. Let them starve to death one by one and freeze to death. " Mo Huaixiang also shed tears: "Dad, you still have the heart to worry about them, and you don't even look at the faces of uncle and the others. I'm afraid that in a few days, we will be kicked out. We have no fields and no food, so why don't you give up? Know how to survive! " Ning Sanmei was sitting next to her. They used to be good sisters in the village. Now seeing her crying sadly, she hurriedly comforted her and said, "Don't worry, our husband won't watch you starve. He will find a way. . " After hearing this, Mo Huaixiang felt a little guilty. She was worried that Ning Sanmei had already known about her affair with Gu Yezhou. She glanced at Ning Sanmei secretly and saw that she had a sincere face and did not want to test or say anything sarcastic. , felt a little relieved, nodded with tears, and looked at Gu Yezhou. Others in the village can ignore it, but Mo Huaixiang cannot ignore it. She has a good relationship with the scholar she entrusted to give birth to.??She became the scholar who was resurrected from the dead, so she should be taken care of. Later, he also became close to her, so he couldn't just let her go. She, her child Lancao, and her father have to be taken care of. As for others, they have no control over them. Fortunately, now that Zixi has given me the jade card to control food and housing, as long as it really works, I don't have to worry about food and drink.
