The golden and jade of the peasant girl in charge

Chapter 142 Preparations for assists (1)
Xiangzhi listened to Zheng Zheng's words, her complexion was not very good, but she followed Zheng Ze unconditionally in everything, even though she hated He Ruyi extremely, she still wanted to save face and agree: "Yes, Ruyi, A Ze is too busy with things. , just come in and find me."

Ruyi just wanted to drive all these people out at this moment. At this moment, I don’t know if Rhubarb sensed her thoughts. It was standing quietly on the side and suddenly barked wildly, barking at the group of people like Mrs. He. Mrs. He and He's family have all suffered from it, and they backed away in fright at the moment.

Zheng Ze's eyes turned cold, and he held Xiangzhi behind him and stretched out his hand to strike at Rhubarb!
"Stop!" Ruyi yelled, and when she was about to stop him, she saw that Zheng Ze's hand seemed to have been hit by something, and then Zheng Ze looked at Ruyi in disbelief, at such a moment of hesitation, Rhubarb has already rushed towards Zheng Ze!

Zheng Ze had quick eyesight and quick hands, and when he dodged, Rhubarb threw Xiangzhi, who was trembling with fright, to the ground!
Zheng Ze's expression changed, as if he was going to kill Rhubarb.

"Rhubarb!" Ruyi snarled, Rhubarb stepped on Xiangzhi, looked back at Ruyi, licked her tongue, and walked back obediently.

Mrs. He and the others had already retreated directly outside the gate of the courtyard. Zheng Ze walked over and picked up the distraught Xiangzhi, glanced at Ruyi, and walked out of the courtyard with Xiangzhi. Ruyi was unequivocal. Then he closed the door heavily: "I will solve my affairs by myself, so don't worry about it! My eldest sister can't stand the scare, if you don't come to trouble her, you are already helping me, so don't send it away!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and brought Ji Xiang who hadn't reacted from the fright back to the house, and closed the door again!

The closed door cut off the hustle and bustle outside. Ruyi helped Jixiang to the chair and let her sit down. Just as she was about to let go, Jixiang grabbed her tightly with her backhand: "Ruyi, what exactly is grandma talking about? Are you Didn't you really hide it from us?" As long as she thought of Ruyi being nearly killed by a bomb, the fear in her heart would spread layer by layer, making her whole body start to break out in cold sweat.They just lost their mother not long ago, and she knew too well how she felt when she watched her relatives leave like this. If something happened to Ruyi, she would really not be able to hold on.

Ruyi dragged a stool to sit beside her, and comforted her in a loud voice: "Isn't I coming back well? I'm not hurt or in pain. In fact, it's not as scary as grandma said. It's all rumors, but it's just careless." If it is on fire, the gunpowder matter is even more exaggerated, don’t you believe me?” She pretended to admit defeat: “Okay, okay, if you’re worried, I’ll just stay at home and don’t want to go there, But I have to say it up front, if I don’t work, I won’t be paid, and our family will have to cut down on food and clothing!”

What Ruyi said was a joke, but Jixiang was very serious: "I don't want anything! I just want you to be good! We have come through all the hardships in the past, and now life is much better than before. I don't know. If you are satisfied, you must be satisfied too! No more, you don’t go anywhere, just stay at home, and I will go to embroidery work tomorrow!”

Ruyi hurriedly stopped her: "Where do we need to take on any embroidery work? Our family still has a hundred taels of silver, and we will have enough money for a long time if you marry me! Sister, what you have to do now is to prepare your dowry." Good!" Then she seemed to think of something: "That's right! We agreed to go to town! Since we are going to stay at home, why don't we go and buy more things we need today, so that I can go out less It's done!" Ruyi assured her again and again, and then changed the topic, Jixiang wanted to tell her a few more words, but she dragged her back to the room to prepare the things to take when going out.

When Jixiang went back to the house to get the money, Ruyi took the opportunity to run to the east house.As always, the man sat leaning back, holding a book in his hand, he had already flipped through it countless times, and Ruyi broke in, but he never raised his eyelids.

Ruyi went directly to the bed and sat down, looked at the man's legs, and suddenly asked, "Was it you just now?"

Jiang Chengye turned a page of the book, without hiding it, let out a casual "hmm", paused, and added: "It's too noisy."

Sure enough.

Just now when Rhubarb suddenly went crazy, she felt that something was wrong. When Zheng Ze wanted to make a move, he was directly hit by a stone. At that time, Zheng Ze looked at her subconsciously, as if he thought it was her who threw it.

Whether you want to help or feel noisy, he can be considered as a helper, and Ruyi nodded and thanked her.

Over there, Jixiang was calling Jin Yumantang to go out, and Ruyi was also going to go out, but the man who seemed to be reading seriously all the time suddenly said, "This Zheng Ze, be careful."

Ruyi paused, and looked back at him somewhat puzzled.It is true that she has always been somewhat wary of this Zheng Ze and has never been close to him, but he suddenly mentioned this, which surprised Ruyi.

I wanted to ask a few more questions, but Jixiang was urging him, and Ruyi said to him: "We have to go out, I have locked the door, and we will come back in the evening..." After thinking for a while, he said: "Rhubarb will Stay with you at home!"

Her answer was silence.

However, Jiang Chengye's words prevented Ruyi from going out properly.She kept thinking about his words in her mind. From the first time she saw Zheng Ze to today when he came to Hejiacun, although she always felt that this man gave people a strange feeling, and his attitude towards her was especially strange, but It is not good for her to list out what is wrong in an orderly manner.

"Why don't you buy some cotton and sew a few new quilts, the rest we can each make a winter coat this year!" Jixiang stopped in front of the ready-made clothing shop, thinking that the ready-made clothes are too expensive and not worthwhile, so he is going to make it himself .It's just that she called Ruyi for a long time, but Ruyi didn't respond. She turned her head and looked around, wondering what she was in a daze for.

Jixiang selfishly thought that Ruyi might have remembered those terrible things when he came to the town, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, bought cotton fabrics, added a piece of high-quality satin, and then bought them for Jin Yumantang at the previous pastry shop. I bought some dried fruit.

This pastry shop has really been refurbished, and he has made a lot of money relying on the pastries delivered by Ruyi. However, when Jixiang wanted to discuss with the boss what kind of pastries to bring over next time, the boss kept waving his hands and avoiding it. Lost.

Jixiang glanced at the buddy on the side with some embarrassment, and the guy seemed to be staring at their side. Seeing Jixiang looking over, he quickly lowered his head.Ruyi looked at the appearance of the buddy and the boss, thoughtfully.

The trip in the town was really not very pleasant, and they spent nearly five taels of silver to prepare all the food and clothing for the next few months. The four sisters each took some things, and they slowly walked home towards dusk.

In the past, the family lived poorly, and one tael of silver could be used for more than a year. The few sisters lived with their belts tight, and they ate every meal without the next meal.Now it took more than five taels of silver for the last trip to the town, which was unimaginable in the past.It's just that during today's trip, Jixiang can roughly see that the shops don't seem to be accepting much of their wishful stuff. The family has no income, and even gold and silver mountains can sit and eat. In the days to come, I'm afraid I really need to be more frugal .
