"Miss Ruan, don't these poems mean something else?" Gu Xiaofeng walked over and said jokingly.

Ruan Jiao rolled her eyes at her, touched her hot face, and went into the house.

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, Ruan Jiao distributed the gifts to everyone and personally sent them everywhere.

The old lady and the second grandmother were courteous and returned the gift. When the eldest grandmother saw that she had sent something over, she couldn't say a word on her face.

Ruan Jiao took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, took out a meeting from her sleeve, stuffed it into her, and whispered: "Keep it yourself, it's convenient to buy something, give him everything you have at home, save you from quarrels, and stay up for two years with patience, and Young Master Sun will get ahead when he sees it." ”

Liu's tears flowed down her cheeks, she just stretched her sleeves to wipe it, Ruan Jiao handed her her handkerchief, and her heart was sour, she wanted to help her, but she didn't know how to help, and she could only give her a few dollars in private, but she didn't know if she could save it, and when the time came, she was picked by the uncle again to be a vassal Fengya.

Coming out of the eldest grandmother, Ruan Jiao thought about it for a long time, and still took a gift to Wenxiu.

Wen Xiu was kneeling on the kang, lying on the windowsill to watch Xiaohong planting flowers outside the window, and from time to time stretched out her hand to instruct her how to plant them. Ruan Jiao called her aunt at the door, she turned her head, smiled on her face, and jumped off the kang to greet her.

"Miss Ruan, sit down and try my tea here, the second master said that it was this year's new tea, I only drank the old tea that was not as good as the one I used to drink, and I don't know if it was to coax me, you help me taste it." Wenxiu personally went to pour tea for her.

"Auntie, sit down, be careful of the fetal gas." Ruan Jiao took the tea and said politely.

Wen Xiu sat on the chair opposite her, rummaging through the gifts Ruan Jiao gave her, and praised her mouth: "At the end of the day, everyone is beautiful, and they are showy and generous, even stupid people like me still remember it, which is really touching." ”

"It's not as good as my aunt's friendship with me, so I gave me a waist as soon as I came, and I haven't had time to say thank you." Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

"It's not worth mentioning, but it's a big deal, I have something to ask you, I wanted to see Xiaohong finish planting flowers and go to find you, but you came first, but I didn't have to run again, it can be seen that God has mercy on me." Wen Xiu clapped his hands and laughed.

"What is my aunt looking for me?" Ruan Jiao had to ask.

Wen Xiu cleared her throat, but she was a little embarrassed: "Miss Ruan, I heard from my family that the rouge gouache you made should be a must, I wonder if you can give me a box to try?" ”

Ruan Jiao smiled: "What should I do, it turned out to be this, it's not worth anything, I'll go back and get the box for you." ”

"Ahh Wen Xiu got down to give a gift, but was stopped by Ruan Jiao, chatted with her for a few more words, and then said goodbye, promising her to give her a box of gouache in a while.

Walking back, I met Gu Xiaofeng going out, saw her, grabbed her, and said with a smile: "I don't have anyone to discuss, just when you came, give me an idea, whether to tell the old lady first, or I will go with Aunt Liang to meet that person first, if you fancy it, come back." ”

"According to me, naturally go to meet that person first, if you like it and then tell the old lady to go, now no one has seen it, and I don't know what to do, if you say it, the old lady has nothing to say, I'm afraid that others will urge you to marry, and you can't marry if you don't want to marry at that time." Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

Gu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, and nodded convincingly: "In the end, you are smart, but that's not the case, I was about to tell the old lady, if I told it, I wouldn't be able to leave." ”

"Then don't tell me yet, let's go out to the market today, call Aunt Liu, let's go shopping together, what you want to eat, let's buy it." Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

As he was talking, he saw Aunt Liu walk in with a bowl of mung bean soup, and said with a smile: "I cooked it for the old lady, there is some left, the old lady said to send it to the eldest grandson, he will take the exam in a few days, don't suffer from heat stroke again, but the eldest grandson only said that he didn't like to drink, and forced me to bring it back, I wondered if Miss Ruan doesn't like to drink this thing?" Then Miss Ruan drank it. ”

"You old thing, you're very understanding! It's wronged to let you stay in the kitchen and do rough work, you should be a big girl who serves tea and water. Gu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand and pointed at her, laughing at her.

"Where did that come from? Why can't I understand? "Aunt Liu pretended to be crazy and stupid.

Ruan Jiao knew that they were making fun of her, and she refused to answer the conversation, so she picked up the mung bean soup angrily, drank it in one go, wiped the corners of her mouth and smiled: "But a bowl of mung bean soup, no matter who drinks it, just the two of you talk a lot!" ”

"Also, it's been a long time since you've been to a market, let's go shopping?" Gu Xiaofeng asked Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu nodded in response and said with a smile: "I just want to go grocery shopping, so let's go together." ”

The three of them came to the market together, Aunt Liu bought vegetables and bargained with others, Gu Xiaofeng thought she was slow, and pulled Ruan Jiao to walk forward by her own, and walked to a place that sold honey, Ruan Jiao bought two taels of honey. was about to pay the money, only to hear someone behind her call her name, and when she looked back, she was a showman in a long shirt.

"Miss Ruan, long time no see." Xiucai made a compilation at her, she looked at her twice, and then remembered that it was the sour Xiucai who sold rouge gouache, and couldn't help blushing, and replied with a sneer.

"I've waited for you for two episodes, but I haven't seen you, and now that I'm okay, I let go of my heart." Xiucai made a long series, got up and smiled.

"It's my fault that I didn't take an oath, just because I was suddenly called by a relative to live at home for half a month, and I couldn't send a letter to you, it was my fault." Ruan Jiao said in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not that in the mean, it's afraid that because of the events of that day, the girl went home and was punished, and I had the heart to ask, but I was afraid that I would disturb the girl and cause unnecessary trouble, so I was just restless in the past half a month, I just hope to see the girl again, and now I see you unscathed, and my heart is also relaxed." Xiucai laughed.

"Where is this little official?" Gu Xiaofeng came over from there and asked with a smile.

Xiucai made a long series of greetings to her.

"Yo, I remember, are you the little brother who sells rouge gouache at the head of the collection? I remember I even bought your lipstick, and the price was fair, but the goods were average. Gu Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"That's not the case, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have this adventure, and I would have become the goddaughter of Lord Thorn Shi." Ruan Jiao explained with a smile and told Gu Xiaofeng about the events of that day.

"So that's the case, then you should be the one who responds to other people's errands, but you have to be the one, but your current identity, it's better to show up like this?" Gu Xiaofeng nodded.

"What's this, I grew up here as an eldest sister, what's the shame of relying on my own skills to eat, aunt, you go shopping first, I finished my business with Xiucai, and I'm looking for you." Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

Gu Xiaofeng patted her on the shoulder and left with a smile.

Ruan Jiao came to his stall with Xiucai, and someone in the village who recognized her came forward to ask, so she generously talked to people and explained her intentions.

Everyone saw her putting on makeup on the fat lady that day, and they all gave her a thumbs up and praised her craftsmanship, and there was also a little daughter-in-law who was not convinced, so she sat down at that time, and had to see her skills with her own eyes.

After more than an hour of such a noisy and noisy operation, Ruan Jiao put on makeup on the three women and sold more than half of the goods on the stall. There was also a woman who came to talk, Ruan Jiao wanted to get started, but Xiucai refused and said that she wanted to close the stall!

"Xiucai, why do you have a grudge against money? It's still early, so why don't you do it? Ruan Jiao asked him unhappily.

Xiucai blushed and pointed to her hand: "I see that your hands have turned white because of the exertion, and there is no blood for half a day, so forget it, money is a foreign thing, and the body is what matters, I opened this stall just to make a living, since the money I have earned has to make a living, why let you suffer with it." ”

Ruan Jiao was stunned, and looked at her hands, her hands have always been so white and bloodless, where is she tired of exerting herself, this show is really sour! I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Miss Ruan, in Xia Mu Zhiyuan, living next door to Xiazhuang Village, because her father has been sick in bed, the family only relies on the old mother to support herself, and she can't bear it, so she wiped her son to help the old mother do a little business together to maintain the family, fortunately the girl helped, it was easy, the girl is really my Mu family's great benefactor, my mother is at home every day just to thank the girl for a piece of kindness, this pair of insoles and a piece of Luo Pa is embroidered by the mother's hand, just to thank the girl for her kindness, and nothing else, and hope that the girl smiles."

Xiucai closed the stall, took out a bag from the bag of goods, handed it to Ruan Jiao, and said at length.

Ruan Jiao was not polite to him, took the burden, and said with a smile: "It's more and more sharp than the last time I saw you, then I believe you, this is a thank you gift from my aunt, I really accepted it." ”

"Miss Ruan, there is one more thing I want to tell you, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to the next episode." Xiucai laughed.

"Why?" Ruan Jiao was taken aback and asked him.

"My mother has already chosen a day for me to enter Beijing, and I have to leave in three days." Xiucai replied to her.

Ruan Jiao nodded and smiled: "But it turns out that he is really a talent!" Is this going to Beijing to take the exam? ”

Xiucai nodded, with a proud face: "Ten years of hard work in the cold window, isn't it just for this gold list nomination?" ”

Ruan Jiao pulled down her money bag from her waist and handed it to him: "Take it, there are ten taels of silver given to me by my godmother, and two pieces of silver each, which are enough for your travel expenses to Beijing and the cost of accommodation and examinations, right?" ”

"Miss Ruan said with a smile and said goodbye!" Xiucai said in his mouth, picking up the goods to leave, Ruan Jiao blocked his way and glared at him: "Look down on me, don't you?" Don't want to make this girl a friend? ”

Xiucai made a compilation with both hands and smiled bitterly: "Miss Ruan, I told you about this matter below, I just want to say goodbye to you, I don't have any other intention, I really don't have any other intention!" ”

"Sour Xiucai, don't bubble up the sour water, whether it has other intentions or not, when I have it, if you are really nominated for the gold list, you must remember to carry me, a countryman, give me a big deal, let me enter Beijing to open a rouge shop, this money, when you set the money, you have to remember my words." Ruan Jiao smiled and threw the money bag into his pick.

Xiucai's face tightened, her throat seemed to be stalked, and after a long time, she replied to her: "Miss Xie Ruan can afford to be below, and she will not pay the girl's good intentions!" ”

After speaking, he walked away with the goods picker, and disappeared without a trace.
