On this day, Ah Zheng brought something back from Wan Yan Fang, which was a pack of mixed pollen and a separate earring.

Ning Xia Qing got these things and groaned for a while, and Cuiyu looked at her eagerly.

In the past few days, Cuiyu has heard many things about Tan Wenshi, Mrs. Shen, Zhao Xiang'e, and Gu Fu from Ningxia Qingkou, and she also roughly understands what her girl is busy with these days.

However, Cuiyu is only a half-grown girl in the end, she knows little about the world, and after listening to what Ning Ningqing said, she was carried away by anger and coldness, and she never thought about it, why did Ningxia Qing, who did not go out of the door, know so many things.

Moreover, Cuiyu has always been honest with Ningxia Qing, as long as Ningxia Qing says, Cuiyu has never believed a word. Even Ah Zheng, who she had suspected of having an affair with the girl, after listening to the girl's explanation, Cuiyu treated her as her own completely.

Cuiyu doesn't have much respect for her own girl. For Cuiyu, she doesn't need to think about anything other than serving the girl and helping her do things. And his own girl has always been smart and kind, and she is worth following. For example, yesterday's incident in Wanxianglou, Cuiyu did exactly what the girl ordered, and everything was exactly as the girl expected.

Cuiyu looked at Ning Xia Qing from the side, and asked softly, "What is the girl going to do now?" ”

Ning Xia Qing thought for a while and said, "I'll go find Ah Zheng." ”

Cuiyu stopped Ning Xia Qing and said, "Girl, it's not appropriate for you to go to Ah Zheng in broad daylight, in case you are seen, it will not be good to gossip." Why don't you let me go. ”

Ning Xia Qing shook her head and whispered: "Recently, I have always asked you to find Ah Zheng, Du Qiutong has noticed it, haven't you noticed, she has been probing her brain here these days, and she is always looking for excuses to enter my house." ”

"Miss Cousin found out? So what to do......"

Ning Xia Qing handed over the needlework to Cuiyu: "You take this, now go to Du Qiutong to ask for needlework, you must drag her." I'll go find Ah Zheng and come back as soon as possible. ”

"However, even if you drag Miss Watch, in case someone else sees ......"

"Don't worry. This is my home, and it is only natural for me to talk to my own man, especially now that it is broad daylight, I just have a few words with him, and no one can say anything. Besides, except for Du Qiutong, everyone in our family is dedicated to doing things honestly, and no one is like her, staring at others, always wanting to find out the rights and wrongs of others. ”

Cuiyu nodded, and Ningxia Qing immediately went to find Ah Zheng. At this time, Ah was repairing the roof of the warehouse. He climbed onto the roof, holding a shovel in one hand and a tile in the other, and his whole body was covered in muddy water.

Recently, the weather was hot, and he was working on the roof again, and it was inevitable that he was sweating, and his clothes were sticking to his body, so he simply took off his shirt and waved his arms to do it.

Ning Yongda shouted below: "Ah Zheng, come down, this work is not in a hurry." Besides, the sun is too poisonous today, and when it gets past noon, the day is a little smaller, so I'll hire a part-time worker to work with you. ”

Ah Zheng answered, and Ning Yongda immediately went to the kitchen and asked the cook to make herbal tea for Ah Zheng.

After Ning Yongda left, Ning Ningqing came out of the shadows.

Ah Zheng, who was carrying his jacket, just wanted to jump off the roof, but when he saw Ning Ningqing coming out, he immediately put his jacket up, and then jumped off the roof and came to her.

"What's wrong with the big girl? Ah Cai is in the shop at this time, and the eldest girl will go to my house and say. ”

This is a warehouse, and from time to time people may come by, and they are standing here talking, and it is indeed not good for people to see it. Besides, today's sun is really poisonous, and I can't help but sweat when I stand outside. Ning Xia Qing thought for a moment, then nodded, and followed Ah Zheng to his house.

This is the first time that Ningxia Qing has entered the house of the guy's plan, the room is poorly furnished, the furniture is clear at a glance, but it is just a table and a chair. And the table and chair were neither lacquered nor carved, or even polished, and Ning Xia Qing guessed that this might be the same as the guy himself made of wood. Although the house was simple, it was very clean, and even the stacked bedding was neat and tidy, without a single wrinkle.

"Big girl, sit down." Ah Zheng let Ning Ningqing into the chair, then picked up the teapot and poured it directly into it. He worked on the roof under the sun for a long time, and his sweat was dripping into water, and he was really thirsty.

Ah Zheng finished drinking water, took a freshly washed towel, wiped his sweat-soaked hair, cleaned it up, and asked, "What happened this time?" ”

"I want to send something to Vice Lieutenant Xue's house." She put the packet of pollen and single earrings on the table as she said, "Vice Lieutenant Xue travels extensively, and drinks with his friends a few times a month. Generally speaking, there are more official duties at the beginning of the month and the end of the month, so most of the days when Deputy Lieutenant Xue will go out to drink are those days in the middle of the month. ”

"When Deputy Lieutenant Xue went out, there was a guy named Jiu Zhen who often brought him with him, you found this person, told him that you were Xiaobao's distant relative, and learned the whereabouts of Xiao Bao's sister, so let Jiu Zhen bring a message to Xiao Bao and ask Xiao Bao to come out and meet you."

"As for the Nine Formations, you said that you are short of money at the moment, and you can't afford the errand fee for the time being, as long as Xiaobao can come out to see it, you will definitely seal a big silver for the Nine Formations."

"When you see Xiaobao, give him the pollen and earrings, and then tell him how to use them."

After she finished pouring beans from a bamboo tube, Ah Zheng nodded in response.

She thought for a moment, and then said, "As for the money I promised you every month, I will give it to you at the end of the month." ”

"Oh." Ah Zheng replied casually, his attention always focused on the pollen and earrings on the table, took out a handkerchief to wrap the two things carefully, and found a safe place to put them away.

She sat in her chair all the time, watching Ah Zheng do all this, and the room fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Ah Zheng asked, "What happened this time?" ”

The same question has a completely different meaning.

"Ah Zheng," her tone suddenly became swaying, a little overwhelmed, a little uneasy, "Why are you helping me?" ”

She felt that the reason why Ah Zheng helped her was not for the little money she promised, nor for the so-called revenge for the kindness she took in three years ago, not to mention that Cuiyu regarded loyalty to her as a life creed, and it was impossible for Tan Wenshi to have other plans after winning her trust.

But that's it, but it makes her not understand, what is Ah Zheng trying to do?

Hearing her ask, Ah Zheng's expression appeared blank for a moment, and then he began to think about it extremely seriously.

In fact, she herself felt that her question was a bit silly, but Ah Zheng really began to think about the answer very seriously.

After a while, Ah Zheng said, "I like the smell of you." ”

Flavor? There was confusion in her eyes, she had always used less grease and powder, and less spices, did she have any smell on her?

Ah Zheng obviously knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained seriously: "It's not that kind of taste, I mean, um...... From the first time I met you, I identified with you. So, whatever you want me to do, I will be willing to help you do it. ”

She didn't seem to understand, but she seemed to understand.

From the first time she met Ah Zheng, she had an indescribable sense of trust in Ah Zheng, she knew that Ah Zheng was telling the truth, although she couldn't understand this simple expression, but she also had this indescribable identification with Ah Zheng.

From the first time she saw Ah Zheng, she felt that Ah Zheng had a contradictory temperament, which seemed to be very simple, as simple as a child, and seemed to be very elusive and a little complicated.

She felt that she and Ah Zheng were like two animals far apart in the dark, they couldn't see each other's appearances, they hadn't seen each other's true faces, but by virtue of their taste, they inexplicably trusted each other.

Ah Zheng scratched his head and said, "Don't give me the silver." If you have time, make me some minced meat. The chef has done it once before, but the skills are average. ”

Ah Zheng's expression was extremely serious, obviously not joking, but really wanting to eat the minced meat cake she made.

She nodded in response, "Okay." If you have anything else to eat, feel free to come to me. ”

"Hmm. Oh yes, you don't have to bring me snacks in the future, I don't like those little snacks very much. Ah Zheng was referring to the last candied golden date.

"Hmm." She nodded, feeling a little disappointed, that was her best snack.

A few days later, Tan Wenshi had already prepared cash and was ready to go to Ning Yongda to buy the goods. Lu Zi suddenly ran in in a hurry and said, "Master Tan, it's not good, it's not good." ”

"No rules! If you have something, say what it looks like to be flustered. ”

"Tan Ye, it's not good. I just heard that a big businessman went to the Ning family's shop to collect the batch of Luo Xin cotton and indigo cloth in Ning Yongda's hand. That person's price is higher than ours, and Ning Yongda is talking to him! ”

Tan Wenshi frowned, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The white ivory on the side hurriedly asked Luzi: "Is this really fake?" Where did you hear that? Maybe it's the fake news that Ning Yongda released in order to raise the price. ”

Tan Wenshi squinted his eyes and said, "Impossible, Ning Yongda can't do this kind of thing." ”

Lu Zi asked at a loss: "Tan Ye, what should I do now?" Do we want to bid? ”
