No matter how bad Zhou Zheng's thinking ability is, it is not really worse than a husky, and when he sees this situation, he still doesn't understand.

"Boss, bring me some preserves." Zhou Zheng led the donkey, turned around and walked to the candied fruit shop, and asked Rui'er with a smile: "What do you like to eat?" ”

Rui'er saw that Zhou was leading the donkey, not moving forward, but retreating in reverse, and was about to open her mouth to accuse again. But she didn't expect Zhou Zheng to turn around, but when she went to the candied fruit shop, she asked her what she liked to eat. This was completely unexpected by Rui'er, and she was stunned for a while: "What do you mean I like to eat, what do you want to buy, what does it matter to me?" ”

"I won't eat it, I'll buy it for you."

Anyone encountering pie falling from the sky, the first reaction is shock, Rui'er was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she wanted to cheer. But before the cheers came out, she thought again, she had just trained Zhou Zheng, if she cheered because of some candied fruits, wouldn't it seem that she was too shallow and easy to deceive. "Women can't be too superficial," she thought in her heart, so even though she was overjoyed in her heart, Rui'er tried her best to suppress the joy on her face, and said coldly: "Golden silk dates, white sugar bayberry, nine tangerine peels, kumquat cakes...... To be clear, I didn't ask you to buy it. ”

Zhou Zheng saw that this trick was effective, so he hurriedly snorted and flattered: "Yes, I forcibly bought it for you, not you asked me to buy it." With that, he turned his head and said to the shop owner: "Boss, bring me some of the golden silk dates, white sugar bayberry, nine-system tangerine peel, and kumquat cake." ”

"Okay." When the boss saw that business came to the door, he smiled and took the kraft paper in his hand, and used a small scoop to scoop the candied fruit. The shell of the scoop, rubbing with the sugar crystals on the surface of the candied fruit, made a tempting sizzling sound, and fell on Rui'er's ears, making her feel like a hundred claws scratching her heart, like a little mouse staring at sesame oil. The boss packed the four kinds of preserved fruits separately, wrapped them neatly and squarely like a pharmacy, and tied them up: "Shenghui three taels and one dollar of silver, you can give three taels." ”

"Thank you, boss." Zhou Zheng said, took out a silver ingot of five taels from his arms, and handed it to the boss. The boss took the money, returned Zhou Zheng's silver horn, and complimented Rui'er with a smile: "Xiao Langjun will feel sorry for people, girl, your future days will definitely be sweeter than candied fruit." ”

This boss was originally accustomed to patting on the back, everyone came to him to buy things, he said so, but he didn't think that Rui'er and Zhou Zheng were not a pair at all. His fart missed and hit the horse's leg. Rui'er was a little unhappy when she heard the boss talking nonsense, but for the sake of the candied fruit, she didn't have a seizure, but just whispered: "Nonsense." As he spoke, he snatched the candied fruit from the boss's hand.

After buying the preserves, the two continued on their way. Rui'er sat on the back of the donkey, opened the golden silk dates, and carefully sent one to the cherry mouth, "En" and gently bit it, and her mouth was full of sweet taste.

"Is it delicious?" Zhou Zheng looked at Rui'er with a smile and asked.

"Why, didn't you say you wouldn't eat?" A child is a child after all, Rui'er was going to ask her for candied fruit that week, so she hugged the candied fruit in her arms and protected the food.

This made Zhou Zheng cry and laugh, yes, candied fruit is very expensive in this era, but as a visitor in the 21st century, Zhou Zheng doesn't know how many candied fruits he has eaten, where would he care about this. Seeing Rui'er such a treasure of these candied fruits, Zhou Zheng simply smiled and said, "I don't eat it, if you like it, I'll buy it for you in the future." Zhou Zheng was completely out of his mind when he said this, he couldn't make a lot of money from Boss Fan, and the money he used to buy candied fruit this time was given by Li Fenghuang before. is still the same sentence, Zhou Zheng didn't treat Rui'er as a woman, he only felt that he was amusing an angry child now, so he lost his usual rigor when he spoke.

But it seems that God doesn't like men who are too serious, and in his setting, if a man doesn't know how to talk and only tells the truth, it will be very difficult to win the favor of the girl. On the contrary, those big words that are not brainless and difficult to realize can touch the girl's heart.

"Who wants you to buy it for me, and what's later." Rui'er listened to Zhou Zheng's words, and quarreled with him again: "I'm not rare, sweet and greasy, eat too much tooth decay, if I have tooth decay, will you be responsible?" ”

Zhou Zheng laughed: "If you really want to have tooth decay, come to me, I will definitely be responsible." Between the lines, it is full of teasing tones from adults to children.

But unfortunately, or fortunately, Rui'er didn't see herself as a child, and no one in this society would treat her as a child. She will soon be fourteen years old, and in another year, she will be fifteen years old, that is, the year of the time. A woman who has received a rite of honor is a young woman who is marriageable. Even someone as serious as Han Shaoqing would make fun of finding her in-laws when he talked to her. In the whole world, she will be regarded as a child, maybe only Zhou Zheng is the only one, because he comes from the future.

"What is responsible...... Rui'er had dates in her mouth, and her speech was a little slurred, and she heard Zhou Zheng talking nonsense, turned her head, and was about to scold him. Unexpectedly, the four eyes met, but they saw that Zhou Zheng's eyes were as clear as water, without any desire, and he was also staring at her. **How sensitive, Rui'er only felt that she was hot by that gaze, and she couldn't say anything about scolding, she turned her head away, not daring to look at Zhou Zheng again, but thought in her heart: "He is serious." As soon as the thought turned like this, what Han Da said before also came to his heart.

"Rui'er, have you ever thought about the future?" Before this departure, General Han Rui'er quietly called aside and asked her seriously.

"Uncle, what did you say?"

"You're fourteen years old, and next year will be the year of the year, what are your plans?" As soon as Han Da said this, Rui'er understood, but her body deed was in Han Da's hands, so it could be said that she couldn't help herself, so she bowed her head and said, "It's all up to the uncle." ”

Han Da nodded, thinking that this little girl was still smart, and said, "Do you know what the ending of ordinary people's maid rings is?" ”

Knowing that what Han Da said was related to her fate, Rui'er lost the appearance of the crazy girl she had in the past, and replied very respectfully: "Either she is married in old age, or she is taken into the house by the main family." If, like me, those who serve the girls at home marry with the girls and become intercourse. ”

"That's right, you're right." Han Da affirmed Rui'er's statement, and then asked solemnly: "Among the three ways out, if you had to choose by yourself, which one would you choose?" ”

When Rui'er heard Han Da say this, she fell to her knees with a thud: "I have served in front of Miss since I was eight years old, Miss has treated me very well, and I am willing to accompany Miss in this life." Rui'er is not a lie, nor is it a flattery, but a very realistic truth.

Let's just say that the three major endings of the maids, if they marry outside the house as a wife - the person who marries the maid as a wife, the family background must be decayed, otherwise how can he marry a maid and go home? And the maids live a rich and idle life in the house, and when they go to the homes of the decaying people, there are many who can't be at home and can't stand poverty.

If you marry outside the house as a concubine - the concubine has no status, and in terms of identity, it is not much better than Yahuan. When you arrive at a new home, you have to see the face of the old man, but also the face of the wife, if you are unlucky, you meet a jealous wife, and there are many people who will be tossed to death in less than a year and a half. Even if the master mother is virtuous, it is difficult to ensure that the master will have a good life, if it is a person who likes to be a prostitute and does not return, likes to beat people, and has many lascivious concubines, there are many mistakes that men can make...... Maybe it's still a coffin with half of her body in the ground, where does Rui'er dare to think of such a life?

For Rui'er, the best ending is to marry Han Shaoqing. In this way, the young lady has become the mother of her own family, although she has changed her family, but there is no change in interpersonal relationships, no matter what happens, there is always her own young lady on top, and her life can be more comfortable. Moreover, the Han family is a wealthy family, and Han Shaoqing is a famous Zhenlie beauty, and there are talented sons in this Pingjiang Mansion who want to share their white heads with her...... Han Shaoqing has a high vision, if someone can impress her one day and marry her, then this person must also be a humble son with both ability and political integrity. Rui'er can be stained with Han Shaoqing's light, and naturally becomes the common room of the humble son, and with the protection of her own young lady, it is not impossible to turn around and become a concubine. For a girl who has no father and no mother, such a day is really beautiful, and there is no better one.

Marriage events, for example, there is a saying that a woman is "reincarnated for the second time", at Rui'er's age, how can there be anything that hasn't been figured out?

"Looks like you're a sensible person, too." Han Da glanced at her and said what was in his heart: "I'll tell you frankly, I think it's right last week!" ”

"What, uncle, are you ......" Rui'er covered her mouth, her wonderful eyes were wide open, and there was an incredible look in them.

Han Da glared at her and said, "What are you thinking, you girls like to think about this." I mean, I think Zhou Zheng will be a good sister-in-law, do you understand what I'm talking about? ”

"Ah, uncle, why did you fall in love with him?" Regarding her uncle's decision, Rui'er felt confused: "What's good this week, he's a wanderer......"

"Elder Qin told me that he sees Zhou Zheng as upright and a person who can be trusted."

"Can Old Man Qin's words be believed?" Rui'er was not angry, who the young lady married was directly related to her, no matter how she looked at Zhou Zheng, she felt that this guy was stupid, but she didn't see where it was worth entrusting. She couldn't understand the words of the uncle who cared so much about the old man Qin. That strange old man, nine out of ten sentences are unreliable, either talking about dramas, or reciting poems, and one sentence is even more incomprehensible, what is the talk and laughter.

Han Da shook his head and explained, "You are young and don't know what happened to Old Qin when he was young. Forty years ago, he was robbed by a robber, his life hung by a thread, he almost lost his life in the wilderness, and he was lucky enough to be rescued by my grandparents, and he has been following my grandfather ever since. Qin Lao's health is not very good, his appearance is bad, and his temper is also poor, but there is one thing, which is recognized as the first in Pingjiang Mansion, and that is the art of matching people. At that time, Qin Lao was known as the first phase of Pingjiang, and he never made a mistake in looking at people. At that time, my family was just a small tea merchant in Jinshui Town, and it was able to develop to this day, thanks to the merit of Qin Lao's promotion of meritocracy. Not only in our mansion, but also in the mansion, Elder Qin also recommended a lot of talents. The Fuzun remembered that Qin Lao was virtuous and meritorious, so he valued my family and had a lot of convenience, which led to the later development of the house. ”

"Old Man Qin is so powerful, why don't I know?"

"Twenty years ago, Qin Lao told his father that he had leaked too many heavenly secrets, and if he didn't keep his mouth shut, I was afraid that he would die. He hasn't seen anyone since. No matter how popular you were back then, once you were lonely, no one remembered. The first minister of Pingjiang back then, after 20 years, where does anyone still remember? You don't know. Han laughed, a little embarrassed, he was ten years old twenty years ago, but he had also seen Qin Lao's divine skills. Looking at people's faces, you can simply see the bones of people, no matter how the person who comes disguises, just a glance at Qin Lao can know his roots. If you say that you are a traitor, you are a traitor, and if you say that you are loyal, you are loyal, and no one is wrong. Later, even the old man of Fuzun decided the case, and he liked to take him to take a look at the plaintiff and the defendant, which one was stubborn. If it weren't for Qin Lao's gratitude for saving his life and his reluctance to abandon the old master, he would have been poached by the then mansion lord. In the next twenty years, Qin Lao no longer met with people, and only when he encountered something related to the fate of the Han family, he would occasionally say a word or two, and he never missed it......

"Could it be that this time Old Man Qin fell in love with the surname Zhou?" Rui'er saw that Han Da was there and didn't speak for a long time, so she asked.

"That's right." Han Da gave a positive answer: "Qin Lao deliberately came to me this time and told me that Zhou Zheng has his own fate, and he will be a first-class figure in the future, and said that if he misses Zhou Zheng, I am afraid that Shaoqing will inevitably die lonely in this life." As far as my own observation is concerned, not to mention the future, I don't care very much about whether he can soar in the future. Just said that at the moment, although Zhou Zheng is not a first-class character, he is handsome, honest and honest, and he is also a person worthy of trust. I think if Shaoqing can get together with him, it will also be a good thing. ”

"Huh?" This answer was a bit surprising, and it scared Rui'er so much that she could barely speak. Seeing that she didn't speak, Han Da continued: "Since you said that you want to accompany Shaoqing for the rest of your life, then I will give you a task." ”

"What task?"

"You know Shaoqing's temperament, if you want her to take the initiative, it's impossible. It's just that Zhou Zheng is an unenlightened person, do you think Zhou Zheng likes Shaoqing? ”

"He looked at the young lady as if it was mixed with honey, if this is not love, then there is nothing called liking." Rui'er nodded violently when she said this: "What does the uncle want me to do?" ”

"I want you to move Zhou Zheng and let him take the initiative to pursue Shaoqing. You might as well say that Shaoqing will occasionally mention him and give him some encouragement, otherwise I don't think he has the courage in his life, so he came to my door and said a word of truth. Han Da is actually a little helpless about the two best characters of Zhou Zheng and Han Shaoqing. Normal people's marriage, how can there be so many troubles.

Rui'er didn't seem to understand, and asked again: "Then uncle, why don't you say it yourself?" ”

"First, if I say it, it will inevitably lower my status as a sister. What's 'Shaoqing actually likes you, but it's hard to speak', I'm her brother and the head of the family, how can this come out of my mouth? Han Da paused and explained: "Second, as soon as I opened my mouth, I bit the words to death. You're still young, and you're just a girl, so you don't have to take any responsibility for what you say, just say it. Whether it's Zhou Zheng or Shaoqing, you just need to make them feel that what you say makes some sense, and you don't need to make them believe it completely. Even if they take what you say as nine points of falsehood and one point of truth, it doesn't matter. Third, since the last blood transfusion, Shaoqing has inevitably been a little alienated from me. You are the only one in the family who can say these things in front of her. She listens to it best, and if she doesn't listen to it, it's just a child's nonsense, and she will never have any rebellious heart. ”

Han Da deliberately matched Han Shaoqing and Zhou Zheng, and Rui'er would also become an addition to it - originally Rui'er was just acting on orders, and in her opinion, Zhou Zheng was by no means the best choice. A homeless person, she wants assets but no assets, she wants to be knowledgeable or not, she just wants to follow her own lady.

But at this moment, with the sweet taste of golden silk dates, listening to Zhou Zheng's sweet words coaxing the child, her heart actually jumped up, she secretly took a look at Zhou Zheng again, and saw that his face was like a crown of jade, his expression was gentle, and a pair of star-like eyes were also staring at her, Rui'er couldn't help but think: "Why didn't I find out before, he was so good-looking......"
