Time flew by and it was already the end of time. At the beginning of Shen Shi, Li Guan once again came to the door of Zhou Mansion.
"Isn't this Mr. Housekeeper of the Li Mansion?"
Seeing Li Guan, the two servants of the Zhou family looked at each other, and one of them said hello. They knew what was going on in the family. From then on, Li Mo was the third son-in-law of the Zhou family and had an official status. When they saw
Naturally, the people in the Li Mansion will not ignore it like before.
"You two gentlemen, please inform me that I want to see my third son."
Li Guan took a deep breath and said bravely.
For some reason, the more polite the people in the Zhou Mansion were to him, the more flustered he became. Otherwise... the servants were just waiting for others to prepare the food, so treating him like this only showed that Li Mo's status in the Zhou Mansion was not low.
"Want to see Third Aunt? Okay, sir, wait a minute!"
Upon hearing this, one of the servants nodded and turned around to enter the Zhou Mansion.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang"
Li Guan quickly thanked him.
Looking at the servant's leaving figure, he couldn't help but start muttering in his heart, "I hope the Third Young Master won't blame the Li family for what they did before... No! He shouldn't blame it. A dog doesn't mind the family being poor. Although
He has already established his own business but he is still a member of the Li family..."
A moment...two moments...after half a stick of incense, the servant who entered the house appeared again,
"Sir, please come back. My third uncle said that he had gone to your house yesterday to pay a visit. As a result, your house had a message, so he had to follow it. My third uncle will go to your house on the birthday of your master...
"
"Ah? I won't go back..."
After hearing the reply, Li Guan's expression darkened.
The results were somewhat unexpected but seemed to be expected.
"gentlemen?"
"I know! Thank you two gentlemen."
After regaining consciousness, Li Guan cupped his hands, sighed and left.
"That's all, let's inform the master about this first and let's see how he decides."
He didn't insist on trying again because he didn't dare! Neither the Zhou Mansion nor the current Li Mo could be provoked by a housekeeper like him, especially Li Mo...
...
Zhou Mansion, Xiu Pavilion,
Li Mo looked at the officials and official uniforms in front of him with some surprise, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Sure enough, there are people in the court who are easy to do things with!"
Just in front of half a stick of incense,
His "father-in-law" received news from the Ministry of Rites, saying that all the formalities had been completed for him, and that after Li's birthday, he would be able to go to the Eastern Capital to serve as a secretary and serve under the governor's command.
It is said that ordinary scribes will take orders here in Chang'an.
He was able to be easily transferred to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Zhou Yuan must have been behind the scenes.
As for the fact that he could obtain the scribe through Journey to the West, Li Mo was able to figure it out despite being surprised and didn't get too entangled.
A clerk, a rank as small as a clerk and with no real power, would definitely not attract the attention of An Lushan and Yang Guozhong, and it would be easier to do things as a clerk after returning to the Eastern Capital than before.
"Ms. sir, are you really not going to Li's house?"
Just when Li Mo was about to put away his official uniform, Zhou Yurou on the side felt a little sad.
After returning to Xiuge today, the two have become a lot more familiar and have gradually adapted to their current identities.
When Zhou Yurou thought about it, since she had become Li Mo's wife, she was naturally the daughter-in-law of the Li family. According to etiquette, she had to go back to the Li Mansion, but it was unexpected that Li Mo refused so simply.
Is it possible that Li Mo only agreed superficially and did not truly recognize that she was his wife?
"Well! I won't go!"
Hearing this, Li Mo turned around and nodded.
As for the Li Mansion, it was impossible for him to go back. Being turned away yesterday meant that he would only go to the Li Mansion during this trip to Chang'an.
"Madam, don't think too much, the thing is like this..."
Seeing Zhou Yurou's expression, Li Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then talked about his various past experiences in the Li Mansion. The girl in front of him was kind and sensitive, and he finally got her out of the shadows temporarily. Naturally, he couldn't let her get interested again.
Knot.
This lecture lasted most of an hour.
"It turns out that my husband has suffered so many grievances before... Even if life is difficult in the future, I will bear it together."
After Li Mo finished speaking, Zhou Yurou was silent for a long time, and then she took the initiative to step forward and hold Li Mo's hand.
This grip actually made Li Mo almost break his defense.
It is said that when he was on earth, he had been in love once, but his girlfriend talked to him about bags and cosmetics every day, let alone listening to him talk about the past. There was also such a thing as husband and wife sharing hardships before.
Just listening to it, unexpectedly I saw this determination in Zhou Yurou.
"Haha, it's okay!"
After regaining consciousness, Li Mo hesitated for a moment and then held Zhou Yurou's hand.
"Um!"
In this way, Zhou Yurou's mood became better again.
"By the way, madam, I'm going to the West Market in a while, and I may come back later today..."
After a pause, Li Mo said again.
Things at Qingfeng Casino cannot be delayed. No matter what, we have to teach Zhu Cang several ways to play poker today.
"Going to the West Market? I'll go too!"
Zhou Yurou said hurriedly.
"No, I'm just going to the West Market Inn to pick up some things."
Li Mo waved his hand.
There are some things that I can't let my "wife" know now. It would not be good for her if she had known about them earlier.
"Oh well!"
Zhou Yurou was a little disappointed, but finally nodded.
........
The sun was setting in the west, and just as the drums for closing the city of Chang'an were about to sound, Li Mo entered the Qingfeng Gambling House through the back door.
By this time, all the guests had dispersed.
"Mr. Lang..."
Seeing Li Mo, Zhu Cang, who was packing his things, hurriedly came over to meet him, and even Lao Du came over.
"How was your day?"
There was a tacit understanding between Li Mo and Zhu Cang that they did not mention anything about the Zhou Mansion.
"Mr. Lang, there are a lot of guests today, but we don't make much money..."
When it came to business, a trace of worry flashed across Zhu Cang's face.
It is said that with their help and guidance, many customers have become very interested in the game of mahjong, and have even started to play with copper coins, but... the gambling house only made less than two hundred yuan today.
The seat fee and 300 cash for tea. But Lao Du got a good harvest today.
But Lao Du's money was won by Lao Du himself and had nothing to do with the gambling house.
"Yes, because there is no way to take over?"
Li Mo frowned.
In fact, he had thought about this problem a long time ago. It would be difficult to make a lot of money by opening a gambling house without being a banker, unless Zhu Cang ended up personally.
"Well, Lang Jun... what are the other ways of playing you mentioned?"
Zhu Cang nodded and asked hurriedly.
When he thought about it, his husband would definitely have another method of playing with a banker. Now that the gambling house was already popular, with a new method of playing, the business would definitely reach a higher level.
"The new way to play is..."
Li Mo wanted to say something about poker, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly had an idea and changed his words,
"The new way to play is a game called Double Color Ball."
Playing games such as Landlord and Texas Hold'em in poker are essentially the same as Mahjong. In this case, it is better to change to a more exciting game. As long as this game is popularized, Qingfeng Casino is not afraid of not making money.
