Chapter 095 The Magician Village [05] On New Year's Eve, Mo Qing came to find

When Mo Qing lost his job again, it was almost the New Year.

At this time, the school had already gone on winter vacation. During the day, Min Chang looked at the medical clinic, took care of his grandfather, and dealt with chores. At night, he studied and studied to prepare for next year's college entrance examination.

In the morning, Mo Qing went downstairs, walked to the front desk, and asked Min Chang, who was handling the accounts: "Are there any patients?"

Min Chang replied: "No."

"..."

The shabby medical clinic that was losing money would have closed down long ago.

Min Chang glanced at the time, paused, and asked hesitantly: "No one will introduce you to work today?"

At this time in the past, Mo Qing had already left for work.

Mo Qing's attitude towards work is unimpeded, but she seems to have no luck at work and is suitable to be the ancestor of the family.

Mo Qing said: "No."

Min Chang asked: "Then what are your plans?"

"Let's talk about it after the New Year." Mo Qingqing looked very free and easy, clapped his hands and walked to the consultation room.

Min Chang looked at her warily: "I checked the inventory. Half of the medicinal materials purchased last month have been used. What are you doing?"

"Refining medicine."

"..."

He also refines elixirs.

However, the money from the auction of acupuncture needles was enough for Mo Qingzao, so he had nothing to say.

After settling the accounts, Mo Qing still stayed in the consultation room.

Min Chang received a call from Min Chenghuai upstairs and asked him to buy some New Year goods and come back. Min Chang hesitated and knocked on the door of the consultation room.

"Come in." Mo Qing's voice came out.

Min Chang opened the door, expecting to see Mo Qing brewing medicine. Unexpectedly, Mo Qing was sitting at his desk, setting up the Four Treasures of the Study, holding a brush and drawing on paper.

Mo Qing asked: "What's the matter?"

Min Chang didn't say anything. He walked over and looked down at Mo Qing's painting. He was startled by the snowy scenery of Ion Lane for a while, and then he sincerely praised: "It's a good painting."

Who would have thought that after Mo Qing put down his brush, he looked at him with disdain: "What's your taste?"

"..."

Min Chang was stunned: Why not praise her?

Mo Qing said slowly: "There is no need to say anything against your will just to please me."

"..."

Min Chang didn't understand painting, but he didn't mean it as a compliment. However, when Mo Qing said this, he stopped arguing and scratched his head, wondering whether he should cultivate some artistic appreciation.

Mo Qing pinched the piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can: "Tell me something."

"Oh." Min Chang glanced regretfully at the trash can full of paper balls, "I'm going to buy new year's goods, do you want to go with me?"

Mo Qing raised his eyes: "Go."

During the New Year this year, there is no sense of the New Year. The Min family does not need to go to pay New Year greetings, nor do they need to stock up on New Year's goods. However, the form still has to be taken. Go out and stock up on fruits, snacks and ingredients for a week, which can be regarded as a little bit of New Year's flavor.

Mo Qing went upstairs and put on a coat, which was tied around the waist and held tightly. She wore knee-high boots with slender calves, giving off a cold and distant aura, full of aura.

"Where are you going?" Mo Qing asked, pushing her hair behind her back.

Min Chang glanced at the simple clothes on his body and felt like he was carrying a bag: "There is a shopping mall nearby."

New Year's goods can be bought anywhere, so Min Chang chose the nearest one for convenience.

But I never thought that I could meet acquaintances in this way.

In the underground supermarket, in the snack area, Peng Ren was pushing a cart full of food. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and caught a glimpse of Mo Qing and Min Chang through the gap between the shelves. He immediately took a few steps back and waved to them.

"Miss Mo!" she said with a cheerful smile.

Mo Qing was picking yogurt when he heard a loud voice. He looked back and wondered: "Why are you here?"

Jiang Ke's home is half an hour's drive away from here.

Duan Duan, how come Peng Ren appears in this supermarket?

Peng Ren came over with a cart and said, "Shopping for New Year's goods with Goblin."

Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

"I grabbed two boxes of milk -" Goblin ran over with a box of milk in one hand. After seeing the three of them, he was startled and said, "Mo Qing, are you here to stock up on New Year's goods too?"

Mo Qing's expression was a little strange.

Min Chang couldn't help it and asked suspiciously: "Are you two buying New Year's goods together?"

"Yes." Peng Ren smiled and put his hand on Goblin's shoulder, "I will celebrate the New Year with him this year."

Goblin nodded: "Yes." He stacked two cartons of milk on the cart.

Mo Qing frowned and asked Peng Ren, "Where is your brother?"

"He is going home to celebrate the New Year and will leave tomorrow." Peng Ren said, "Oh, Miss Mo, don't you know, my home is in the Imperial City. As for me, I will stay in Dongshi so that Lord Jiang can be at his call."

"Did Jiang Ke leave?"

"No."

"Celebrate the New Year with the Jiang family?"

"Then I don't know." This belongs to Peng Ren's blind spot of knowledge.

Peng Ren scratched his head and said, "We won't celebrate the New Year with Mr. Jiang. He will give us a long holiday, but we will leave one person in Dongshi. It has been like this in previous years."

"oh."

Mo Qing frowned, then relaxed, and didn't ask any more questions.

They chatted for a while, and Goblin said with a smile: "I live nearby. Come to my house when you have time."

Mo Qing asked: "Do you live alone?"

"Yes." Goblin waved his hand towards her, "I will send you the address later."

Mo Qing then remembered that she had never asked whether Goblin had any family members. Looking at the backs of Goblin and Peng Ren, Mo Qing thought about it and put the matter behind her.

Let’s buy new year’s goods first.

She and Min Chang spent a long time shopping in the supermarket, had lunch on the third floor of the mall, and then wandered around for another half an hour before hailing a car at the entrance of the mall and going back.

*

Jiang's second floor, study room.

The day before the holiday, Peng Zhong still fulfilled his duties and reported his work in front of Jiang Ke.

After Peng Zhong finished speaking, Jiang Ke asked a question that had nothing to do with work: "What job did Mo Qing change today?"

"She doesn't have a job."

"No?"

Jiang Ke was inevitably a little surprised as he was used to Mo Qing's work experience during this period, but when it suddenly disappeared, Jiang Ke was a little surprised.

"She will stay at the Huichun Pavilion today." After Peng Zhong finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, "Oh, Peng Ren saw her and Min Chang shopping this morning. They seemed to be buying New Year's goods."

Jiang Ke frowned: "She is celebrating the New Year in Huichun Pavilion?"

Peng Zhong replied: "It should be."

Peng Zhong was somewhat resistant to Jiang Ke's excessive attention to Mo Qing. After all, from his point of view, Mo Qing might not have good intentions in approaching Jiang Ke.

When Jiang Ke pays attention to Mo Qing, he is following Mo Qing's trap.

But he couldn't control Jiang Ke, so he could only be on guard at all times.

——It's a pity that there is Peng Ren who is holding him back, and he betrays his teammates all the time.

"Um."

"Master Jiang." Peng Zhong hesitated, "Why didn't you see Mrs. Chen?"

Jiang Ke said calmly: "Give her a holiday."

Peng Zhong thought for a while, but still didn't ask Jiang Ke how he planned to celebrate the New Year.

After explaining everything, Peng Zhong left.

The next two weeks will be his vacation. He is no longer Jiang Ke's assistant, but the eldest son of the Peng family in the imperial city.

After Peng Zhong left, Jiang Ke stood up, opened the French window, and smoked a cigarette.

After that, he took out his mobile phone, turned on the screen, waited for it to go off, and turned it on again... After repeating it several times, he finally logged into WeChat and found Mo Qing's account.

He sent a message.

【Have you got a meal yet?】

After a while, the phone rang, and it was the news from Mo Qing.

Jiang Ke slid his finger on the phone screen and his expression froze slightly when he saw the picture Mo Qing sent.

Mo Qing posted a picture of eating hot pot. Taken from her perspective, you can see Min Chang and Min Chenghuai's grandson, and Min Chang is picking up food for her.

After staring at the picture for a long time, the color of Jiang Ke's eyes became darker and darker.

At this time, the phone vibrated again.

【Come to eat?】

Jiang Ke stared at those three words and looked back and forth. After a while, he turned off the phone screen, put it in his pocket, took out a cigarette, and held it in his mouth.

He never replied again.

*

Huichun Pavilion, living room on the second floor.

Under Min Chenghuai's words, Min Chang poured the freshly blanched beef into Mo Qing's bowl and found that her food was barely moved. She had been playing with her mobile phone.

After being stunned for a moment, Min Chang asked: "Don't you want to eat?"

"eat."

After waiting for a long time for a reply, Mo Qing finally put down the phone and picked up the chopsticks.

"It's better to eat more." Min Chenghuai was very pleased, "I'll cook the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow."

Min Chang retorted mercilessly: "Take it easy, I'm an old man, don't cause trouble."

"Who are you talking to?" Min Chenghuai picked up the chopsticks and hit Min Chang on the head. "You should be in order and respect your elders. Is this how you treated your aunt when I was away?"

Min Chang ran away with his head in his hands and moved two places to avoid Min Cheng's chopsticks.

He is so miserable.

Although Min Chenghuai's health is getting better and better, and his energy is getting better and better, as a protector, Min Chenghuai only cares about his good aunt, and he will only be beaten.

However, Mo Qing was happy to watch the show.

Min Chang felt that Mo Qing regarded "Min Chenghuai beating him" as one of her entertainment programs every day.

Min Chang sighed in his heart, and asked Mo Qing politely: "Grandma Guzu, what do you want to eat for New Year's Eve dinner?"

Mo Qing hesitated for a moment: "Begging Chicken, can you do it?"

"Yes." Min Chang nodded.

Mo Qing added slowly: "Two."

Min Chang originally wanted to ask, can you finish eating two, but with Min Chenghuai standing by, he didn't dare to say anything even if he gave him ten thousand courages, so he obediently agreed.



The next day is New Year's Eve.

Under the supervision of Min Chenghuai and Min Chang, they worked in the kitchen together, kneading dough, chopping meat, making dumplings, killing chickens, making soup, making soup stock... In short, they were so busy that their feet never touched the floor.

Mo Qing is painting in the consultation room.

She studied calligraphy and painting - forced by Jiang Yan.

At that time, she had just followed Jiang Yan and was literate, but she had never read a book and her handwriting looked like a dog crawling.

She had just come into contact with the outside world and was full of hostility towards everything. She was only better in front of Jiang Yan and Adjutant Mo, and Adjutant Mo's handwriting was really not that good, so Jiang Yan wanted her to practice calligraphy and had to teach her personally.

During that period, no matter how busy Jiang Yan was, he would still spend an hour every day to supervise her calligraphy practice.

I learned painting later when I had nothing to do at Imperial University.

However, the learning time was short and the level was not very good.

After staying in the consultation room for eight hours, from dawn to dusk, Mo Qing scrapped countless pieces of paper, and finally drew one that he was satisfied with, signed it, and folded it up.

"Knock knock knock."

"Eat-" Min Chang opened the door, and in the middle of his words, he was shocked by the paper balls on the floor, "What are you doing?"

Mo Qing put away the painting, glanced at him lightly, and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Well, it's time to eat." Min Chang said, "Your beggar's chicken has just been cooked."

Mo Qing said: "Leave one for me."

"night snack?"

"Giving it away."

Hearing what she said, Min Chang didn't know what to say and said "Oh".

Min Chang worked hard all day and prepared a large table of New Year's Eve dinner, which had everything from sea, land and air. It was extremely sumptuous. The beggar's chicken that Mo Qing ordered was placed in the middle, with an attractive color.

Mo Qing, Min Chang, and Min Chenghuai finished the New Year's Eve dinner at around seven o'clock.

Min Chang cleared the table and asked Mo Qing if he wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Mo Qing refused, saying he wanted to go out. Not surprised, Min Chang went back to the kitchen and took the packed New Year's Eve dinner to Mo Qing.

Min Chang asked: "Should I leave a door open for you?"

Mo Qing said: "No need."

As for the door lock of Huichun Pavilion, it was something she could completely ignore.

However, Min Chang thought she would not come back at night. After thinking for a moment, he took out a red envelope from his pocket: "New Year's money. Grandpa asked me to prepare it for you. I should have given it to you tomorrow morning."

But he didn't know when Mo Qing would come back.

"oh."

Mo Qing hadn't thought about receiving the lucky money, so he took it with some novelty. After looking at it twice, he put the red envelope in his pocket.

*

After leaving the door of Huichun Pavilion, a cold wind suddenly hit me, accompanied by snow particles.

Mo Qing squinted his eyes, looked up, and saw snowflakes flying all over the sky. The night was dark, the streets were quiet, and the street lights were on alone. When the wind blew, the dead leaves on the ground were picked up.

Mo Qing walked into the depressed and lonely street.

Around nine o'clock.

In the study, Jiang Ke finished flipping through a book, pinched his eyebrows, closed the book, glanced at the time on his watch, and couldn't help but be startled.

I didn't realize it was so late.

Sister-in-law Chen is always there on weekdays, asking him to eat on time, giving him supper and fruits, and always reminding him what time it is. Today, he is the only one at home, and he doesn't feel the passage of time so clearly.

Jiang Ke stood up.

At this time, the mobile phone rang.

They were usually group messages. Jiang Ke didn't want to pay attention to them, but after scanning his eyes and catching the word "Mo Qing", his eyes paused and he immediately picked up the phone.

【Mo Qing】:[Picture]

It’s a picture of a New Year’s Eve dinner.

The food was sumptuous, and after seeing Jiang Ke, he suddenly realized that he hadn't eaten yet.

After a long pause, Jiang Ke looked at the picture and was unable to reply to the message.

At this moment, the phone vibrated, and Mo Qing called.

After a slight hesitation, Jiang Ke answered the phone.

"Did you see it?" Mo Qing asked, his voice was cool.

The background sound on her side was very quiet, not a trace of noise could be heard. There was no happy atmosphere as Jiang Ke imagined.

Jiang Ke asked: "What?"

Mo Qing reminded: "New Year's Eve dinner."

Jiang Ke paused for a few seconds before replying: "Yeah."

"What did you eat?"

"..." After a while, Jiang Ke bypassed the topic and asked stiffly, "What's the matter?"

Mo Qing said in a nonchalant tone: "Min Chang's beggar's chicken is very good. I want to treat you to it."

It's Min Chang again.

When Jiang Ke thought of the hot pot picture last night, he felt a little unhappy, frowned and said, "I won't eat it."

"That's it..." Mo Qing's voice was light and soft, and he could faintly hear the wind.

The next moment, Mo Qing said: "Then I'm leaving."

?

As if feeling something, Jiang Ke turned his head and looked out the window, then strode over and pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window. The wind and snow blew over, and he was confused. Jiang Ke glanced down and saw Da Lala standing there.

Figure in the courtyard.

For a moment, my heart felt like it was on fire.
