Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 472 The Least Understanding
"I'll take my leave now."

Mo Li smiled and watched Qi Renli walk away. He forced a smile and encouraged himself in his heart, thinking that it was okay. He was too abrupt and it was understandable that others would refuse.

Xiaojun was not as optimistic as Mo Lixiao, and whispered: "Maybe that's what Lord Meng said. Miss, we have enough money anyway, why do we have to find something to do?"

This is what Xiaojun doesn’t understand the most.

I have a lot of money on me, so why not just take a rest? Why do I have to go out and work? And even if I have to work, there are so many things to do at home every day, so why go out and look for work?

Mo Lixiao didn't say anything, but ever since Xiaojun said this, she no longer wanted Xiaojun to do anything for her. She no longer needed him to help her dress up, and she started to go to the kitchen to learn how to make fire and cook.

As a result, Xiaojun became uneasy and thought Mo Lixiao was going to drive her away all day long.

Mo Lixiao didn't explain much. The first thing she learned from Meng Changqing was that it was useless to talk too much, it was better to get started and do it.

Just like when Meng Changqing built the city wall and the new street.

Before he accomplished what he had done, even if Lord Meng had said it to the sky, would anyone believe that he could do it?
A few days later, Xiaojun finally felt relieved when he held the monthly salary that was paid as usual.

Ever since being rejected by Qi Renli that day, Mo Lixiao did not give up. When Qi Renli went next door to buy millet cake, he spoke to him again and invited him in to talk.

Unexpectedly, Qi Renli was extremely obedient towards people like Mo Lixiao and refused to even enter the door.

Mo Lixiao was helpless and could only stand on the side of the road and speak dryly, saying that she wanted to help him and hoped that the other party would give her a chance to contribute to Beishan County.

Qi Renli still refused. He had his principles. His words were tactful but his attitude was firm.

Mo Lixiao had no choice but to give up.

As she became more and more depressed, Wen and Liang Jiujiu came to her door.

Mo Lixiao was surprised but also a little confused. He didn't know why these two people came to his house. Thinking of the rumors in the capital, he was worried that these two people might have heard them.

Wen held Mo Lixiao's hand as soon as she entered the room, looked at her with a smile and said, "Good child, I thought you were worried all day because you missed your parents, but it turns out that you have too much passion to devote to anything." Mo Lixiao felt embarrassed by what she said, and turned away with a slightly red face, "Please take a seat, ladies."

Xiaojun went into the kitchen to prepare tea.

Liang Jiujiu helped Wen to sit down, and then she sat down herself.

Mo Li looked at the two of them with a smile, thinking to himself, he didn't expect that the Meng family, a newly-risen family of military commanders, would have such strict family rules and traditions.

But if we really talk about strictness, there are some things that don't make sense.

Before Mo Lixiao could think more deeply, he heard Wenshi say, "Changqing told me about your dilemma. He is a rough man. He invited you here on impulse, but he never paid attention to you afterwards. He should have noticed your situation long ago, but he asked you to speak up yourself. I scolded him."

"Madam, you are too kind. Lord Meng has helped me a lot..."

Mrs. Wen patted Mo Lixiao's shoulder and said, "Since you are so thoughtful, I will not be polite to you from now on. I have seen how well you helped me with things in the past." She joked, "Don't fool me just because you have too many things to do in the future."

Mo Lixiao understood and stood up immediately, "Madam, if you have anything, just tell me, as long as I can help."

"Okay, let's sit down and talk." Wen took out a few pieces of paper and spread them out in front of Mo Lixiao. "This is the course schedule for the school after winter this year. Take a look and see if there's anything inappropriate."

"Come and see?" Mo Li smiled in surprise.

Wen nodded, "Yes, how about you help me manage the school?"

Mo Li smiled and thought of what was written on the wall of the school: A clear mind and clear knowledge will lead to a strong county and a strong country.

She still remembered the turbulent emotions she felt when she first saw those words.

"Can I?" She doubted her ability very much.

Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Whether it is possible or not, we will know after trying it."
