Chapter 14
Ling Xiao asked Zuo Zimo, who was out of breath and ran in a little late, with a hint of fun: "The third young master said that he wanted to find someone who can make the final decision. Is it possible that the fourth girl in the Zuo Mansion is now in charge?"

"No, it's not," Zuo Zimo wiped the sweat from his forehead, pulled Zuo Xiangning's sleeves cautiously, and whispered, "Go back first, I'm here!"

Zuo Xiangning broke away from Zuo Zimo's hand, stood in front of him, glared at Feng Qingyundan, and said, "I can tell you clearly, we are not selling the mountain, how are you going to deal with us?"

To Zuo Xiangning, this mountain was like a bone that went into her mouth. She hadn't even taken a bite, so how could she spit it out?

The man picked up the tea cup and took another sip, and then said slowly: "If you have something to say, please tell me. If you don't want to sell it, I won't sell it."

He stood up and flicked the black sapphire blue floral satin round-neck robe on his body. He put one hand in front of him and the other behind his back. His narrow phoenix eyes looked at Zuo Xiangning's brother and sister with interest. Two people.

"I hope you can stick to it."

When Zuo Zimo saw Ling Xiao walking out with his head held high, he raised his thumb at Zuo Xiangning and said, "Sister, you are so awesome! You can send such a ruthless person away with just a few words!"

Zuo Xiangning looked at the heartless third brother, sat down speechlessly, and said, "What did he mean by his last words?"

"Which sentence?" Zuo Zimo was so worried that he didn't even pay attention to what Ling Xiao said.

"He said he hopes we can persevere to the end." Zuo Xiangning said seriously: "He doesn't want to harm us, does he?"

"Look at how petty you are. Didn't the prince say it? If it doesn't sell, it won't be sold." Zuo Zimo comforted him, "Don't worry, the prince is a man of his word."

"Didn't you say that he was arrogant, arrogant and rude before?" Zuo Xiangning was secretly worried.

"But he is also a man who stands upright and does what he says." Zuo Zimo said.

"You'd better be careful. If anything happens, you must tell me in time."

Zuo Xiangning gave her third brother a few words of advice before returning to her own yard.

Zhang Rui's family member who was guarding the door came forward and whispered to her: "Fourth girl, our family member came over and said he wanted to see you for something."

"Let him in quickly." Zuo Xiang entered the main room and asked Panxia and Zhang Rui's family to guard outside. Zhang Rui was left alone and asked, "How is it?"

"My cousin said that it is gold, and the purity is very high." Zhang Rui's voice couldn't help but tremble with excitement, "I told my cousin that it was scraped off a gold ingot belonging to my wife. My cousin was not suspicious."

Zuo Xiangning's heart couldn't help but beat loudly.

"You go and fill the hole first, then measure the platform and try to build the house in the shortest time." She said thoughtfully: "I don't know if there is such a thing in other parts of the mountain. The situation is that I have to trouble you to walk carefully around the mountain in the next few days."

"Yes." Zhang Rui nodded in agreement.

"As for the people who work, it's best to choose those who are honest and strict-tongued." Zuo Xiangning said based on the memory of her previous life: "I think brothers Ma Qiang and Ma Zhuang are not bad. If it works, I will find a way Arrange to work under you."

"The Ma family brothers are good, honest people, and the old man of the Ma family. I heard that there was a mine before, but I don't know what kind of mine it was." Zhang Rui said excitedly: "And Xu Gui, who manages the stable in the backyard, is Lao Ma Tou’s apprentice said it came from the mine, so Xu Gui is also a worker.”

Zuo Xiangning wrote down all these names and asked Panxia to inquire about them. After learning that they had no contact with Zhang Rui's family, she looked at Zhang Rui even more highly.

The next day, Zuo Xiangning took the pattern of a child's bellyband she drew and went to the Youth Academy.

Jiang looked at Zuo Xiangning with surprise, "When did you become so good at painting?"

"My daughter is also puzzled. It seems that her paintings suddenly look good." Zuo Xiangning smiled with a crooked eyebrow.

"You are enlightened. It will take several months for the child's bellyband to be embroidered. Take your time and don't rush. When you have time, embroider two handkerchiefs for me first." Jiang said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhou got one last time. The handkerchief her daughter embroidered shows her off, next time I will show her what it means to be a superb embroiderer."

"Okay." Zuo Xiangning smiled bitterly. Her mother now always wants to publicize her goodness. In the final analysis, it is to be able to find a good relationship with her.

To the best of her ability, she would like Jiang to be proud of her. No matter what happens in the future, she hopes that the people she cares about can be happier every day.

"I heard from the housekeeper that Zhang Rui came here early this morning. Is there something wrong?" Jiang said. "Mother, I want to find a few people to go to Mingyue Mountain with Zhang Rui." Zuo Xiangning told Jiang.

After hearing the people she mentioned, Jiang nodded and said, "These people are all good. I'll tell the housekeeper soon."

"Mother..." Zuo Xiangning looked at Jiang, who was always thinking about her, and wondered whether she should tell Jiang about Yueshan?

"What's wrong? Is there anything that can't be solved?" Jiang said with a smile.

"Thank you." Zuo Xiangning took Jiang's hand and finally decided not to say anything.

After she was reborn, she wanted the people around her to be happy, instead of making them more worried because of her.

"Don't worry, I have prepared 5000 taels of silver for you, and you can build the house according to your own wishes." Jiang said with a smile.

Zuo Xiangning hesitated for a moment and asked, "How is the relationship between the housekeeper, the old lady and Aunt Liu?"

"I brought up the housekeeper..." Jiang looked into her daughter's shining eyes, "What did you find?"

"I saw the housekeeper holding the hand of Jin Hui, the eldest girl next to Aunt Liu, in the garden. The two of them looked... they seemed to be familiar with each other. After talking for a long time, the housekeeper seemed to have given her a package of things." Zuo Xiang Ning blushed and said, "How about you find someone to check it out carefully?"

Jiang's heart skipped a beat.

Her own dowry and private house are all managed by the housekeeper. If the housekeeper and Aunt Liu are together, the consequences...

After Zuo Xiangning left, Mrs. Jiang called Cai's mother into the room, and the two closed the door and talked for a long time.

Half an hour later, Cai's mother hurried out of the house.

Zuo Xiangning returned to Xianglanzhai and saw Pancui talking to Zhang Rui's family at the door.

Pancui saw Zuo Xiangning coming back and rushed to greet her, "Fourth girl."

"You're back?" Zuo Xiangning asked with concern, "How is your mother's health?"

"Thank you for letting the doctor go back with you. My mother has been out of breath these days and her chest is still tight. The doctor said that if it were a step too late, something serious might happen." Pancui knelt down as she spoke, insisting on giving her Zuo Xiangning kowtowed twice.

"My mother said that I must kowtow to you twice." Pancui said with a grateful face.

"It's okay." Zuo Xiangning hurriedly asked her to get up quickly.

Zuo Xiangning went back to her room, changed her clothes, and asked Panxia to accompany her out of the house.

Since there is really a gold mine on that mountain, Gu Zhiqing and Ling Xiao cannot give up easily. She will always feel uneasy if she doesn't take a look.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zuo Xiangning and Pan Xia first went to the platform halfway up the mountain. She asked Pan Xia to wait for her on the platform.

"Girl, I'd better follow you." Panxia said worriedly: "What if there is a wild beast on this mountain..."

"If you follow, it will only make the beast more full." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "If anything happens, I will call you, and you ask the coachman to call someone."

She carefully identified the traces of people passing by and walked towards the east side of the mountain. When she saw the tallest ginkgo tree, she accelerated her steps excitedly.

Suddenly, she heard someone talking in front of her. She dwarfed and hid in the dense bushes nearby.

"You are still not sure whether this mountain exists?" It was Gu Zhiqing's angry voice, "You said one of these sixteen mountains, but what I want to know is, which one is it?"
