Chapter 65: Pleasing Favors
Ruan Jingxin's manpower outside had not yet been organized, she calculated the time, and felt that it was time to meet another person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This person's name is Li Hao, and he is a hunter, and his home is in a small village about 30 miles outside the capital. He followed his grandfather into the mountains to hunt at the age of seven or eight, and now he is only twenty years old, but he is a well-known hunter in the neighborhood. Around this time, he should have hit a tiger, and after being forcibly bought at a low price, he was falsely imprisoned. His grandfather was too old to take the blow and died. He was sentenced to be assigned thousands of miles, killed the officers and soldiers escorted on the way, quietly returned to the capital, killed the man who framed him, and then escaped.
The encounter in the previous life was not in the capital, nor at this time. However, Ruan Jingxin wanted to appear in advance, so as not to let this iron-blooded man regret his grandfather's death forever and feel guilty for a lifetime.
Now that the Ruan family has been passed out, it is much easier for Ruan Jingxin to go out than before. She took Erui and Cuiluo out of the corner gate in an inconspicuous carriage and headed straight out of the city.
This kind of carriage can't attract the attention of others in the capital at all, so it came to the city gate in a very low-key way along the way. Going out of the city is not as strict as entering the city, saying that he is going to play on the Zhuangzi outside the city, and he went out of the city smoothly.
"Miss, it's getting late, let's stay in our Zhuangzi tonight. Erui suggested.
Ruan Jingxin nodded lightly, and suddenly remembered something, "This Zhuangzi heard that there is a large orchard?"
"That's right, this Zhuangzi grows the best fruit. Apples, peaches, and watermelons can be eaten at this time. We can pick some of our own. Cui Luo responded with a smile on the side.
Ruan Jingxin suddenly laughed, "Suddenly I want to eat smoothies." She made a lot of money by the watermelons she went out of the market early, but now she can use these fruits to make a fortune.
"Smoothies?" Erui was a little puzzled, "In the past, the Yichuan Marquis Mansion used to store ice cubes in winter and summer. We just separated it, there is no ice cellar, there is not half a piece of ice, it is all bought at a high price. ”
The ice of this era was stored in the winter and consumed in the summer. Ruan Jingxin's eyes smiled even more, she really knew how to make ice, but she used it to make a lot of money in her last life. This summer is going to be exceptionally hot, and this business has to be done. It's just that the waist board of his own family is not hard enough, so he still has to be cheap Dongfang Xu and the prince.
"Miss, what exactly is a smoothie?" Cui Luo didn't hold back, but still asked.
"I'll make it for you to taste when you get back to the house. Let's bring more fruit when we go back. "Fruit smoothies, in modern times, most people can make their own, is nothing more than diced fruit mixed with smoothie and drizzled with some fruit sauce. In this era, ice cubes are mostly just used to chill food.
"Miss, it's here, Zhuang Tou is waiting outside. "There is a mother-in-law who follows the car outside.
Ruan Jingxin put on her bib and let Erui help her out of the car. Zhuang Tou is a forty-year-old man, very simple. The dress is very simple, look at the mud and sand on the shoes, which have just come out of the ground.
"Everyone has worked hard, and on a hot day, we should pay attention to heatstroke prevention. Let the cook cook a lot of mung bean soup for everyone to drink every day. Ruan Jingxin's family treats her subordinates very leniently, and she herself is not a harsh person.
Zhuang Tou nodded happily, "Miss Xie." It's all packed up, this is my mother-in-law, and now I'm in charge of things in the Zhuangzi, let her guide you. ”
The daughter-in-law of the head of the village looks relatively white and tender, but she speaks very neatly. The house in the backyard was clean, but it was clean, and Erui and Cuiluo only took out the things commonly used by the master and placed them, and put them on a new cover.
The meals in the evening were made by Erui, and they were all in line with Ruan Jingxin's taste. Ruan Jingxin was in a good mood, so she ate more, so she walked around the yard casually to eat. But I didn't want to, but I heard a noise coming from the front yard.
"Go and ask what's wrong. Ruan Jingxin instructed Cui Luo.
Cuiluo hadn't walked a few steps, Wang Zhuangtou's daughter-in-law walked over quickly, "Miss, there are a lot of people outside, saying that it's late and they want to spend the night." Wang Er wanted to refuse, but he didn't want the other party to be both soft and hard, and the slave had no way to ask for an idea. ”
If Ruan Jingxin hadn't lived here, they would have let people stay. But now that the master is here, they can't make up their minds.
"Who is the other party?" Ruan Jingxin saw the expression of the second daughter-in-law of Wang and knew that the other party's origin was extraordinary, otherwise she would not be so embarrassed.
"It is said to be a salute to the people of the waiting house. Wang's second daughter-in-law whispered. "I heard that the second young master has been hunting in the mountains for a long time, and it is too late to return to the city. ”
By this time, the gates were indeed closed. But if she remembers correctly, the Honoring Houfu has its own Zhuangzi nearby. Why did you spend the night in her own village? She groaned for a moment and asked, "Are there any female dependents inside?"
"No, no. Wang's second daughter-in-law shook her head.
"You go and tell them that there are women in the backyard, and it is not suitable to stay overnight, and if they really can't leave, you can help them go to the village next to them and ask. "The other party has no female dependents, so it is even more inappropriate to stay overnight.
Wang's second daughter-in-law went for a long time before she heard the sound in the front yard quiet, and it seemed that she was moving.
Ruan Jingxin relieved herself and went back to her room. She frowned slightly, and asked everyone around her to go down. Then the hand flipped, and the embroidery needle pinned to the sleeve was already between two fingers.
In her room, there was a faint smell of blood. Slowing her steps, she slowly approached the past.
The person behind the bed tent slowed down his breathing when Ruan Jingxin entered the room. At this time, the atmosphere is even more daring to breathe. Who knew that there was no movement for a long time, and he was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he intuitively flashed to the side!
The man was shocked, but he couldn't see the appearance of the hidden weapon clearly because of the darkness in the room. But when I think of what happened just now, I guess it must be something very small and sharp.
"Don't get out yet!" Ruan Jingxin snorted coldly, pulled lightly with her plain hand, and the secret weapon returned to her hands.
The man was not surprised when he heard the voice, and he no longer hid, but walked out generously and grinned, "What a coincidence! It turned out to be you!"
When Ruan Jingxin saw this person's appearance, she immediately understood the farce of saluting the Houfu before and having to spend the night. Anyway, I have to give Jin Yuanyuan two faces, she nodded lightly, "Jin Gongzi, although I have a lot of friends with Ling Mei, but you are not a gentleman in the middle of the night, right?"
Jin Shijie smiled bitterly twice, "Helpless." He lifted his injured arm, "I promise to leave before dawn." How about the favor you did before you paid me back?"
