The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 33 Building a house and buying land
Gu Zhiqing found out that Zuo Xiangning was missing, so he came out to look for her.

He didn't expect to see Gu Zhicheng and Zuo Xiangning coming down the mountain side by side.

Gu Zhicheng's face was full of joy, while Zuo Xiangning's face was shy, and her affectionate look made the corners of his eyes painfully painful for some reason, as if they were pricked by needles.

Zuo Xiangning turned her head and looked coldly at Gu Zhiqing, who was looking at her from the bottom of the mountain, "Master Gu, what do you think the second young master and I are doing?"

"Brother, Miss Zuo Si and I met in the back mountain and were about to go to the front hall." Gu Zhicheng deliberately spoke clearly.

Zuo Xiangning sneered in her heart, "I wonder when the hill behind Jingyin Temple will be owned by your Gu family. As long as others walk here, they will have to be related to your family, right?"

"Four girls, please don't misunderstand me. I was just surprised that my second brother was in Jingyin Temple, so he blurted out such inappropriate words." Gu Zhiqing glared at Gu Zhicheng, and explained to Zuo Xiangning in a warm voice: "It's still Fourth girl, please don’t blame me.”

Zuo Xiangning walked to a place two steps away from Gu Zhiqing, stood still, looked at the crowds of people coming out of the hall one after another down the mountain, and smiled noncommittally: "If Mr. Gu has no other questions, then I will leave first."

"I'll send Miss Zuo down the mountain..."

"This mountain does not belong to Master Gu. Master Gu should stop." Zuo Xiangning interrupted Gu Zhiqing and walked quickly down the mountain.

"Brother, is this the fourth girl of the Zuo family?" Gu Zhicheng walked up to Gu Zhiqing excitedly.

"Shut up!" Gu Zhiqing shouted, "What does this have to do with you?"

"Brother, she is the one I want to marry..."

"Are you worthy?" Gu Zhiqing turned to look at the woman who turned around the courtyard wall.

Zuo Ziteng hurried out of the yard and saw Zuo Xiangning walking down the mountain. He rushed forward to greet her and complained: "Where did you go? You scared me."

"Go to the back mountain and take a look at the thousand-year-old tree." Zuo Xiangning whispered.

"You are so brave! You dare to wander around alone!" Zuo Ziteng glanced towards the mountain, his eyes changed involuntarily, "You went with the Gu brothers?"

"Second brother, I have studied etiquette and know what it means to have different seats for men and women at the age of seven." Zuo Xiangning frowned slightly, "Although my second brother and I have different mothers, we have the same father. My reputation has been damaged. It will have a big impact on you and your children, so please be careful what you say, second brother."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zuo Ziteng noticed that the two Gu brothers were still staring at Zuo Xiangning, and hurriedly turned around and took her down the mountain, "Don't come out with me next time. I can’t afford to worry about that.”

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and followed him.

At the foot of the mountain, Zuo Xiangning couldn't help but be attracted by the dazzling array of stalls, and couldn't move for a long time.

Zuo Ziteng walked out quite far, and when he turned around, he found Zuo Xiangning still standing there, looking at the candy figures.

He hurriedly walked back, took out a piece of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper, "hurry up and draw two for her."

Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zuo Ziteng, who looked impatient.

After the painting of the candy man was finished, Zuo Ziteng followed Zuo Xiangning closely this time. As soon as her footsteps stopped, he would reach out and pull her forward.

"Second brother, I finally came out, you have to let me take a look, right?" Zuo Xiangning begged Zuo Ziteng in a low voice, "I have money of my own, and I won't spend it on you."

Zuo Ziteng glared at her, "Because of you, I didn't even eat fasting food."

"You go and eat your food, I can go home by myself." Zuo Xiangning said.

"Don't try to harm me. I brought you out. If something happens to you, I can't bear the responsibility." Zuo Ziteng stopped and said, "What do you want to buy? Buy it quickly." Seeing Zuo Ziteng's change of mind, Zuo Xiangning hurriedly smiled and walked to the stall not far away, buying a dozen or so random items.

"You really have never seen anything good." Zuo Ziteng smiled and helped her get into the carriage.

Zuo Xiangning handed Zuo Ziteng a noodle pancake with minced beef in the middle, "I think this looks delicious."

"What is this?" Zuo Ziteng said in disgust, but took a big bite, "It tastes really good. How many did you buy?"

"Three." Zuo Xiangning was also eating heavily in the car.

"Give me another one." Zuo Ziteng put his hand through the car window.

"No more." Zuo Xiangning put a small pancake filled with red bean filling on Zuo Ziteng's hand, "There are three of us, one for each person."

Zuo Ziteng took the cookie and muttered "What the hell", but he stuffed it all into his mouth at once.

Zuo Xiangning looked at Zuo Ziteng who was so informal, and suddenly realized that in the past ten years, not only had she never really known Zuo Xiangyu, but she had never really known Zuo Ziteng.

The next day, Zuo Xiangning took Zhang Rui to Mingyue Mountain and saw a stone bridge being built at the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Rui went to ask and came back and said, "It is said that Prince Zhongyuan ordered it to be repaired. It will be completed in two days. The wellhead of the hot spring on the mountain has been repaired."

Zuo Xiangning nodded and said nothing more.

Coming down from the mountain, Zuo Xiangning asked about Liu Qian and his son.

"Mr. Liu's leg injury is almost healed and he can already walk around in the yard. Xiaowu cleans the yard every day and always asks you when you are going." Zhang Rui looked at Zuo Xiangning's face and asked : "Girl, that medicine shop hasn't been rented out yet. Think about it, how about we open it ourselves?"

"Let Liu Qian go to the medicinal shop?" Zuo Xiangning originally had this plan, but when she thought that Liu Qian would be a "miracle doctor" in the future, she was reluctant to use it.

"Mr. Liu mentioned to me that if he stays like this, he is afraid that his medical skills will no longer be useful. He wants to find a medical clinic, but he is afraid that you have other arrangements here." Zhang Rui Why: "How do you think I should reply to him?"

Zuo Xiangning thought for a moment and said: "If Mr. Liu is really willing, let him go to the drug store. The monthly payment must be based on the highest standard in the capital."

"Yes, I will do this in the afternoon." Zhang Rui agreed with a smile.

That night, Zhang Rui solemnly said to his daughter-in-law: "When you are working in front of the fourth girl, you must be careful and try to think of the girl first in everything. If you are not sure about anything, you must remember to tell me."

"What's wrong with you? You don't trust me when I do things?" The Zhang Rui family said with a smile while changing their clothes: "How many times have you told me this?"

"The more times I tell you, the more you have to keep it in mind. Our old Zhang family has been tied to the fourth girl for the rest of our lives, but we can't be careless at all." Zhang Rui originally wanted to tell his wife about Prince Zhongyuan, But after thinking about it for a moment, he endured it and said, "Anyway, you must talk less and do more. The future of both sons is in the hands of the fourth girl."

"I know the importance." Zhang Rui's family would not dare to take things lightly in the future. Gradually, Pan Xia and Pan Cui also regarded her as an intimate. This was something to be said later.

Zuo Xiangning asked Zhang Rui to go to the east of the mountain and ask if there was any fertile land for sale.

"There are some takeaways." Zhang Rui walked all over the five miles around the mountain in the past two days and broke out two pairs of shoes. "There is a rich family named Li who wants to take away the good fields and destroy them." Sell ​​them together, no matter whether they are good or bad, 20 taels per mu, totaling one hundred acres."

One hundred acres, 2000 taels.

Zuo Xiangning calculated the money in her hand in her mind. If she bought these fields, she would not have much money in her hand.
