The golden and jade of the peasant girl in charge

Chapter 44

Therefore, she really didn't care about those dispensable gossip and the exclusion of her masters.But since Li Hengcai came to explain in person, she didn't want to embarrass him, so she said a few words of comfort to him so that he didn't have to worry.

Ruyi's age seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her expression and demeanor were completely different from what a normal fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl should behave. When Li Heng was surprised, he inevitably looked at this little girl again.And since she said it's okay, Li Heng thought for a moment and asked Ruyi about the banquet dishes.

Young people are always full of vigor, and Li Hengcai felt that no matter how young and mature Ruyi was, she would definitely not let go of an opportunity to prove herself. Ambitious people would seize every opportunity. He came all the way, that kind of He knows the heart of a young man best. He is not afraid of Ruyi's arrogance. On the contrary, he wants to use her ambition and arrogance to control her!
But Li Hengcai made a wrong calculation this time, Ruyi refused after listening to his words without even thinking.

Li Hengcai was a little surprised, and couldn't help being curious: "You know, you are the most special No. [-] person in this Baiwei Building. I know that you are asking for money, and your wages are already several times that of ordinary employees. Did I not tell you?" Clearly, the money for one table of this banquet is much more than the usual dishes, and it is still one of your dishes, [-]% to [-]%!"

Ruyi smiled: "Boss Li, you are serious. After all, Ruyi is just a country girl. It is not a problem to cook small dishes. The lunch and dinner are the top of the reputation of Baiweilou. I think Master Chen and the others are better at it. So, I also ask Boss Li not to embarrass me."

"This..." Li Heng was a little confused...

Ruyi hesitated, and then said: "Boss Li kindly took me in and let me cook in Baiweilou. We cook ordinary dishes in the morning and at noon at Baiweilou. If Boss Li thinks this requirement is too harsh, then Ruyi can only ask another owner."

Li Hengcai's expression froze: "Ruyi, what are you talking about! As a girl, safety is the most important thing! Since you insist, I won't force it anymore, but I still say the same thing, the more you do, the more you earn." Many. I know the situation of your family, so you can think about it carefully. "

Ruyi nodded: "Yes."

Li Hengcai nodded, turned and left without saying anything.

Ruyi watched Li Hengcai leave, then packed up the things he bought this morning and today's wages, and pushed the cart to go home.

It was the hottest time in the afternoon, and Xiaosi gave up his lunch break to help Ruyi push the cart to the entrance of the town, and he was a little worried: "Girl, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for you to push it back like this alone."

Ruyi frowned, she also thought about this, no matter how fast she walked, it would be evening when she went back, He Ruyi's hands were very delicate, if she pushed them back today, she might not even be able to hold a knife tomorrow.

While hesitating, a carriage stopped beside the two of them.Ruyi looked familiar at the carriage, the next moment, a folding fan parted the curtain of the carriage, and a delicate and handsome face appeared in the carved window.

Seeing Ruyi, Zheng Ze had an unexpected and pleasant smile on his face: "Miss He, what a coincidence."

I didn't expect to see Zheng Ze here. On the day of Lizheng's birthday banquet, Ruyi just met him at first sight, so it's not considered acquaintance. When we meet now, he seems to be a little too enthusiastic. Looking at him, Ruyi can only smile: " Mr. Zheng, what a coincidence."

Zheng Ze glanced at her cart, frowned slightly, lowered the curtains of the cart, jumped off the carriage, opened the folding fan with a swipe, and paced over proudly, looking at the contents of the cart, he curled his lips and said, : "It's really hard to transport so many things back. I just want to go to Hejia Village. If the girl doesn't mind, let Zheng give her a ride. These things will be delivered by my own servants." While speaking, A servant in the carriage had already jumped out of the carriage, walked over with his head down, and said kindly: "Girl get on the carriage, leave these to the young one."

Ruyi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zheng Ze, then smiled: "So, Ruyi would be more respectful than obedient."

Zheng Ze's smile grew stronger: "Girl, you are welcome."

The carriage bumped on the narrow path, and in the carriage, Ruyi tried to keep a safe distance from Zheng Ze, with her head down and pretending to be asleep.The wheel suddenly hit a big rock, the carriage trembled violently, Ruyi's body couldn't help but bumped to one side, seeing that she was about to bump into it, her left arm tightened, she was pulled back by a strong force, and fell into a A hug with a manly scent.

Ruyi's heart sank, but she got out of Zheng Ze's embrace with a calm expression on her face, and sat back to the previous position, with a steady and distant voice: "I'm sorry."

Zheng Ze didn't make any further abrupt moves, as if his hug just now was purely to prevent her from getting hurt. He looked at Ruyi with great interest, and the smile on his face was thought-provoking: "The mountain road is bumpy, Miss Ruyi, be careful."

Ruyi smiled as a response.

Knowing that the carriage drove into Hejia Village, neither of them said anything.Ruyi raised the curtain of the car, saw the setting sun and people returning to the village on the roads and alleys, so she immediately asked Zheng Ze to stop the carriage.

Zheng Ze raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly puzzled.Ruyi jumped out of the carriage involuntarily, took her cart from the servant who had been following the carriage, and thanked Zheng Ze: "Mr. Zheng, I thank you today. I will go to Baiweilou another day. Ruyi will be my host to thank you." She paused After a pause, he glanced at the people on one side, and then looked at Zheng Ze. Zheng Ze was so smart, and said knowingly: "This place should not be far from the girl's home, so Zheng will be sent here. Miss Ruyi, goodbye."

Ruyi smiled, pushed the cart three steps at a time and walked home in two steps, ignoring the direction of the carriage behind her.

Today, Ruyi’s income was six taels and nine taels, and she spent a total of nine taels of silver, leaving six taels on her body.When she returned home, her heart moved, she only left two taels of silver on her body, and went to He Yuanji's house with the remaining four taels.

The busy farming is about to start, and He Yuanji is repairing his own utensils so that he can go to other houses to help earn some money during the busy farming. When he sees Ruyi coming, he is pouring water and holding a bench. Ruyi has no time to spend with him. Said, directly put four taels of silver in his hand.

He Yuanji was stunned!Four taels of silver!How much work would he have to do to earn it back! ?Ruyi...how...how did she have so much money?

He Yuanji reflexively rejected the money, and Ruyi turned cold in his refusal, her tone was cold, but every word burned He Yuanji's heart: "He Yuanji, is a man a man? It never depends on whether he is rich or not, but whether he has the energy to work hard! I have seen your energy, but in this year's situation, you must not only have the energy to work hard, but also have the ability to bend and stretch Patience. This money is not given to you for free. You take it and keep it as a gift money for auspicious marriage. Of course, these four taels of silver are not enough for an auspicious wedding. I will give you some of the rest of the money every day. When you get auspiciousness and you have someone at home, in the days to come, you will work hard and give it back to me! I am not afraid to tell you that before my mother died, she told Jixiang about a family that was the Zheng family in the town. But such a big family, even if the auspicious family passes away, they will not be happy! Zheng Ze lives in a wealthy family, and he is born well. It is impossible to only have a country girl like Jixiang as his wife. If you are still stubborn, I dare Guaranteed, you will regret it!"
