"Sir, do you really have nothing to do with Tanhang's affairs?"
On the way back, Xu Lidong, who didn't like to talk too much, couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you care?" Chen Mo responded casually.
"But..." Xu Lidong hesitated.
"Are you worried that you can't manage it well?"
Without waiting for Xu Lidong to answer, Chen Ou smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry, as long as you deliver that thing to Butler Hu, the matter at Tan Xing will definitely be solved."
"That's good, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xu Lidong." Xu Lidong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lidong, do you care about Granny Wang?" Chen Mo was curious.
Um!
Xu Lidong drove a carriage and responded: "Other people say that Mrs. Wang can eat people without spitting out the bones, but only those who know her clearly understand that Mrs. Wang is actually a sharp-tongued person with a heart of tofu. Take loan lending and contract collection as an example, she will repeatedly emphasize the pros and cons to the parties concerned every time.
And she never does anything that makes things difficult for others, she is really a good person."
"This is the first time I've heard that someone commented on Granny Wang like this." Chen Mo said with a smile, "It seems that Granny Wang is usually very nice to you."
"Well, Grandma Wang said that she treats me as her son."
Speaking of this, Xu Lidong felt happy first and then sad.
"What I don't know, sir, is that very early on, all the members of Grandma Wang's family died in a plague, including her thirteen-year-old son. So she always said that we should be treated and cultivated as our own children.
It’s extremely strict here.”
"Wang Po, you actually have such a past."
Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh. Now he finally understood something.
When Qin Xianglian initially planned to sign the deed of betrayal, Mrs. Wang said she should be careful about becoming a traitor after passing the exam.
I thought it was a sarcastic remark, but it turned out to be well-intentioned advice.
It seems that in addition to doing business, I will have to move around more in the future.
"Lidong, when you have nothing to do, go and see Wang Po more often. You don't need me to teach you how to be a human being, right?"
"Don't worry, sir, I will often go and talk to Mrs. Wang." Xu Lidong responded.
"I'll get some wine to take back home later, and give me a message to Grandma Wang. I'll be able to repay you twice as much for the injustice I suffered today."
Chen Mo asked himself that he was not a troublemaker, but he was definitely not afraid of trouble.
Now that someone is showing off his sword, he has to see blood.
"The official is back?"
As soon as the carriage stopped, Qin Xianglian came out in a hurry.
Qin Qing'er leaned against the doorframe, looking at the door with her mouth pouted, wondering what she was thinking.
"Qing'er, go to the study and bring out the jar of wine."
Chen Mo greeted, and then responded to Qin Xianglian with a smile.
"I came back in a hurry and forgot to bring something with me. What did you eat for lunch?"
"Don't worry, we won't be hungry." After saying that, Qin Xianglian looked to the side and said, "In the beginning of winter, we will stay for dinner tonight."
"No, I still have things to do that my husband told me to do." Xu Lidong smiled shyly.
"Wow, your name is Lidong?" Qin Qing'er walked out holding the wine jar, "Do you have an older brother or sister at home named Lichun or Lixia?"
"I have an elder brother named Li Qiu."
Xu Lidong said and looked at Qin Qinger.
A look of surprise suddenly flashed across his slightly immature face.
"Why, are there flowers on my face?"
Qin Qing'er's mouth is very powerful.
"No, no, I just feel, I feel..." Xu Lidong was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"What do you think? It looks good, right?" Qin Qing'er teased deliberately.
"yes."
After answering subconsciously, Xu Lidong immediately blushed and looked completely at a loss.
Pfft...
This was so good, Qin Qing'er almost knocked over her wine with laughter.
"Okay Qing'er, look at what Lidong has done. I'm embarrassed." Chen Mo stepped forward to rescue him.
Qin Xianglian didn't say anything, she just gave him an accusing look.
Putting the wine in the car, Xu Lidong said goodbye.
At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly rolled his eyes.
"Qing'er, you're exhausted at home. Do you want to go to the city to play?"
"Of course I want to, but no one will take me there. In fact, I can go by myself, but my sister won't let me go," Qin Qing'er said.
"Let's go in Lidong's carriage, just in time to see where the charcoal burned by our village is sold?"
"Can I really go?" Qin Qing'er was overjoyed.
"Really." Chen Mo nodded.
"Officer, this matter..."
"Xianlian, go get two taels of silver." Chen Mo interrupted directly.
"What the officer wants to do, isn't it for Qing'er?" Qin Xianglian was shocked.
"That's right, as girls grow older, they have to spend money on many things."
"But officials..." Qin Xianglian was embarrassed.
Two taels of silver, you just gave it to me?
Even if she is a biological sister, she can't be pampered like this, right?
"Listen to me and go quickly."
At Chen Mo's insistence and urging, Qin Xianglian took two taels of silver and reluctantly handed them over to Qin Qing'er.
I keep reminding you not to spend money indiscriminately.
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
Qin Qing'er collected her money and eagerly got into the carriage.
"Lidong, after you go to the city, you have to accompany Qing'er the whole time. After shopping, go directly to the Tan Store and send Qing'er back tomorrow evening." Chen Mo warned.
"Brother-in-law, do I want to live in the city?"
Before Xu Lidong could respond, Qin Qing'er was already shouting.
And this is also Qin Xianglian's question.
"I'll explain to you later." With a soft reassurance, Chen Mo signaled Xu Lidong to leave, "Slow down on the road."
"Sir, please come back."
After saluting, Xu Lidong drove the carriage and left.
"Officer, why do you want Qing'er to spend the night in the city?" Qin Xianglian asked quickly.
"Two reasons." Chen Mo explained, "First, there will be guests at home tomorrow, and Qing'er is very irritable, so you don't want to make others laugh."
"What guest?" Qin Xianglian wondered.
"You will know by then, we are distinguished guests anyway." Chen Mo smiled and gestured to enter the courtyard.
"Officer, what's the second reason?" Qin Xianglian brought back the topic.
"Such Xianglian, have you seen that there is a bond between Lidong and Qing'er?"
"Fate?" Qin Xianglian wondered, "What fate are the officials talking about?"
"Such a fate."
Chen Mo turned around and closed the door, then directly picked up Qin Xianglian.
"Guardian, what are you doing?" Qin Xianglian was panicked and shy, "It's still afternoon, we can't..."
"Who says it can't be done?" Chen Mo didn't care about that and went straight into the room, "I'm playing poker with my wife, who can control me?"
"What kind of poker are you playing?" Qin Xianglian was confused when she heard this.
"What do you think?"
Chen Mo asked back, grabbing a handful dishonestly.
"Guanren, what is the fate that the official just mentioned?" Qin Xianglian asked shyly.
"Like you and me."
When Chen Mo finished speaking, he also came to the back room.
When Qin Xianglian wanted to say something else, she was already thrown on the bed.
