Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 40 Afterwards (2)
"No." The two responded in unison.

Zheng Ruo nodded in satisfaction, "Remember, yesterday we just went around the west of the city, met Wang Jiulang, had a good chat with him, and just forgot the time to go back home."

Liu Xu looked up in surprise, saw the seriousness in Zheng Ruo's eyes, and nodded in response.

Zheng Ruo was a little embarrassed by Liu Xu's gaze, and felt very helpless about using Wang Jiulang as a shield again.Now in the entire Phoenix City, perhaps it is the Zheng Mansion, and it can only be said that it is with Wang Jiulang, so that no one will pursue it.After all, first there was Wang Jiulang saving people in the lake, then she played the piano late at night to thank her, and then she went to the Xie Mansion banquet, Wang Jiulang was everywhere, most people would believe what she said.

Besides, what she said was not entirely a lie.I did meet that person yesterday.

Zheng Ruo's cheeks turned red little by little. Although she hated that person in her heart, she was still a little ashamed of using him.She felt that her skin was not thick enough. After all, she tied herself to Wang Jiulang again and again, and everything she did put her reputation on the line.This is obviously a bad strategy, but now that I have no money and no one, I have to sacrifice my reputation.As long as she is not sent to the Sheriff's Mansion by the Patriarch, how much is her reputation worth to her?What's more, with the lessons of the previous life, she doesn't count on men at all.Even if a person is alone in this life, it doesn't matter.

"Girl..." The carriage drove to a secluded place, and Xu Yi's voice outside interrupted Zheng Ruo's meditation.

"What's the matter?"

"Girl, I think it's better to leave this thing to the girl for safekeeping. I'm a rough man, and I'm afraid it won't be beautiful if I lose it." Xu Yi handed over a cloth bag from outside while speaking.

Zheng Ruo took it and opened it to see that it was the gold brick she gave him yesterday.

"Xu Yi, what do you mean?" Her voice became a little distant, and her eyes suddenly became serious.

Xu Yi could also hear the unkindness in her tone, he laughed twice, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Girl, I think this thing might be more useful in your hands. I, I actually want it It's not just such a piece of stuff, I'm guilty, I want more things like this. But I'm a rough man, this thing is a dead thing in my hands. In the hands of a girl, maybe it can be transformed together Two dollars. Girl...hehe..."

"Xu Yi, you're really greedy." Zheng Ruo teased, her words sounded harsh, but her tone was much more relaxed, "Okay, since you think so much of your girl, I'll keep it for you. As you promise, I will give you more of these things in the future."

Xu Yi outside breathed a sigh of relief.The performance of the talented girl in the tavern, what she said to Liu Xu in the car, combined with the old fairy she said before.Xu Yi concluded that the girl was no longer an ordinary person, as he said just now, what he wanted was not such a piece of gold.He wants more.He could see the deep ambition hidden by the girl, following her, he must be more than just a driver in the future.

Only by completely tying her own interests with the girl can she not abandon him.This is what Xu Yi, who looks simple and honest, but actually has a lively mind, really thinks.

From Zheng Ruo's point of view, Xu Yi, who is only around double ten on the outside, is a man of great wisdom and foolishness.Like her, she is an ambitious person.With two lifetimes of experience, she understands that as long as someone asks for something, she can become an ally.And this Xu Yi may be her coachman at this time, and may be her ally in the near future.

Seeing Xu Yi doing this, Liu Xu hurriedly handed over the gold bricks she was wearing to Zheng Ruo.She couldn't say what Xu Yi said, but just looked at Zheng Ruo helplessly.Zheng Ruo smiled slightly and was not polite.

Now that the sheriff is chasing the treasure chest so closely, she really doesn't dare to touch the things on the lower six floors.But this gold brick has been cut into small pieces, who can recognize it?
Now I am short of money.

After the three masters and servants reached a certain consensus, Zheng Ruo asked Xu Yi to go around the East Street again.She remembered that in her last life, she heard her father and brother mention that there was a market here.It's the black market.

Xu Yi drove the carriage around, and there were a few shops, but they were not the bazaar in Zheng Ruo's memory at all.In the last life, not only his father and brother mentioned it, but after he married Shi Yue, he accidentally mentioned this market.

"Girl, what do you want to buy?" Xu Yi asked.He thinks that the girl has some money now, so she will inevitably want to buy some rouge and gouache like the fifth and sixth aunts. "I think that rouge seems to be good."

Liu Xu's eyes lit up when he heard Rougepu.

But Zheng Ruo shook his head and said, "Go back."

"Girl?" Xu Yi didn't understand, didn't the girl come here to buy things?

Zheng Ruo didn't speak any more, and put down the car curtain.Xu Yi didn't ask any more questions, and drove the carriage to Zheng's residence in a daze.On the way back home, Zheng Ruo asked Xu Yi to buy a bag of millet.Although she is not short of money now, she is too ostentatious to attract suspicion.Buying this small bag of millet, presumably no one would think too much about it, at most they thought she was pawning jewelry.

When she returned to the small courtyard, Zheng Jinxiao still didn't come back.Hearing the sound, Yang Zhi bowed his head in a respectful manner and stood aside.Liu Xu handed the millet to Ping Ru and asked her to cook some porridge in the kitchen.Pingruo and several other servants were too hungry for a long time, and now they were so happy to see millet, they immediately got into the kitchen.

When Yang Zhi saw the bag of millet again, his eyes flickered.Thinking about the girl giving away the white jade hairpin, he sneered.Or the fifth aunt and the others are right, the status of the girl is low, so what if Wang Jiulang values ​​it?Left and right, the white jade hairpin got nothing more than a bag of millet.

After accidentally hearing that the girl gave away the white jade hairpin, she told the fifth aunt and the sixth aunt about it.As soon as they heard it, they felt that Wang Jiulang valued Zheng Ruo, and Xie's post to her was all because of the white jade hairpin.They believed that the white jade hairpin was given to Wang Jiulang.

For this reason, the fifth aunt scolded severely, "Shameless".
