Chapter 35 Suspicious

Ruan Mingzi smiled and said, "The turtledove is cheaper than the pheasant. Last time, Miss Jiang Er was the new customer, so I naturally wanted to give you some discounts. This time, Miss Jiang Er is the old customer. The two turtledoves are only fifty cents, so it is not easy to dispense. I'd better give Miss Jiang Er a small gift."

Ruan Mingzi took out a straw cricket from his arms like a magic trick, and handed it to Chenyu: "I'm bored on the road, so I'll give Miss Jiang Er a fun."

Miss Jiang Er had never seen straw crickets, but she felt that it was interesting to get along with Ruan Mingzi like this generous and full of surprises. She smiled more and more vigorously, and she took the initiative to take it from Chenyu and started playing with it.

Seeing that her lady's smile seemed to be unaffected, Chen Yu felt a little relieved and liked Ruan Mingzi more and more. She smiled and counted fifty cents from her purse: "Since the last time, our lady always had to bring a purse full of copper plates when she went out. This time you don't have to break it and make change again."

Ruan Mingzi took it with a smile and put it in her own money bag containing copper plates. After all, she had more than one hundred cents.

Listening to the sound of the copper plate hitting in the purse, Ruan Mingzi was in a better mood.

Just as she was about to say goodbye to Miss Jiang Er, she heard footsteps coming from outside and stopped outside the door of the private room. She subconsciously looked at the door and happened to see someone pushing the door open.

A young man wearing a straight long gown stepped in.

Ruan Mingzi frowned almost invisible.

There is no particularly strict defense between men and women in this small county town in remote places. This person should be an acquaintance of Miss Jiang Er, right? He came in without knocking on the door.

However, when Miss Jiang Er saw him, she was a little surprised: "I came so late, I thought you wouldn't come!"

The young man smiled with affection: "I encountered something on the road, but it was delayed."

As he said that, he glanced at Ruan Mingzi and said in surprise, "Who is this?"

Miss Jiang Er was obviously paused by the question and smiled and introduced: "A very interesting friend."

The young man said "Oh" and said nothing.

Ruan Mingzi was very tactful and smiled and said, "Miss Jiang Er, I have something else to do, so I left first."

Miss Jiang Er thought that the person who broke the appointment had arrived and was in a better mood than before. She smiled and nodded: "Chenyu, I'll send Miss Ruan to me."

Chen Yu responded and smiled and sent Ruan Mingzi out of the door.

But when he was out, Ruan Mingzi passed by Changsui by the man and accidentally discovered that there was a black mole under the left face of Changsui, which had been hanging down his head.

...Isn't this the thin monkey who has lost money to the car?

Ruan Mingzi made a big alarm in her heart, pretending to be careless and glanced at the long and long look again.

It's really that thin monkey!

He obviously didn't notice Ruan Mingzi and kept hanging his head.

Ruan Mingzi felt something was wrong.

Chenyu sent her outside the door. When he turned around and wanted to go back, Ruan Mingzi reached out to stop Chenyu and whispered: "Sister Chenyu, who is that?"

Ruan Mingzi had always been very sensible when he had two brief encounters with the master and servant of the Jiang family. Chen Yu suddenly asked such a private question. She was a little surprised and a little alert. She coughed lightly and lowered her voice: "Miss Ruan, why are you asking this?"

Ruan Mingzi really couldn't say clearly that she was worried that Changsui was not a good person. She could only say: "...I saw that Changsui looked familiar, and wanted to see if it was a distant relative of my family."

This explanation is reasonable.

In view of his trust in Ruan Mingzi, Chenyu felt it was a bit strange, but he still whispered: "That Young Master Fan is said to be a student from another county and a student from the academy. It seems that he has been with Young Master Fan for a long time... Why don't I ask you?"

Ruan Mingzi frowned.

Changsu clearly is the thin monkey who just came here with the bus together in the morning. Since he was deliberately waiting outside Niujia Village to get a ride, it means he should be from near Niujia Village. How could he be the close-fitting Changsui of the young master from another county?

This seems something is not right.

However, Ruan Mingzi and the master and servant of the Jiang family were just a chance meeting, so she was most afraid of having a simple and profound conversation. She thought about it and still gave a tactful reminder: "Sister Chenyu, hurry up and go back. I don't think he looks like a good person. It's not safe to leave Miss Jiang Er in the private room."

She couldn't just talk about the suspiciousness of the academy master, so she could only lead the suspicion to Changsui. At least this would make Miss Jiang Er and Chen Yu more accepting. At least she would plant a seed of suspicion first, and she would be more careful when something happened later.

Chenyu couldn't help laughing a little. After all, she was still a eleven or twelve-year-old girl, and she also said childish children like "not like a good person".

How can a person judge a person by his appearance?

However, Ruan Mingzi was right. Although the young man was so bright and bright, it was not appropriate to leave their ladies alone in the private room. Chenyu said goodbye to Ruan Mingzi and hurried upstairs.

Ruan Mingzi stood at the restaurant door for a while, but shook her head and left.

She has said everything she should say, and the rest is not something she can do.

Now Ruan Mingzi has money in her arms and has been shopping in the county for another hour. Although she hasn't bought much, she has almost visited several shops on the main street.

She is looking for a way to make money.

Although selling mountain goods and digging herbs can now be exchanged for some money, the limitations are still too great.

When winter comes later, I am afraid that these two roads will not be easy to walk.

And she still has a lot of things that she didn't buy for her family.

It's getting colder, so you have to buy some cotton coats and quilts for her and Yanyan?

The grandma of the Yao family is so nice to her. Her grandma’s birthday is coming soon, so I have to bring some gifts to her, right?

There are also chicks, so if you want to come back with the chicks, you have to hurry up. The day before, it was cold and the chicks were not easy to live outside.

Ruan Mingzi's mind is now full of one word.

"money"!

It’s really a lack of money to stump the hero!

Ruan Mingzi couldn't think of any stable way to make money, so he had to give up, pause his shopping, found a shop selling daily necessities and went in, bought some daily necessities, packed it with a small bag, slapped it on his shoulder, and went to the wonton stall next to the street to spend three cents to drink a bowl of hot wontons. As the time for the donkey cart to return was almost approaching, he went out of the city.

As a result, the man understood the rules of the cart quite well. He came over and squatted in the gathering place, waiting for the departure.

Ruan Mingzi saw that his eyebrows were full of complacent attitude, so she pursed her lips.

Niu San was a little embarrassed when he saw the man, but the visitors were all the customers. Niu San didn't say anything, but just quietly told Ruan Mingzi: "If he doesn't give the money, then forget it. Don't argue with him. Others are tall and powerful, I'm afraid you will suffer a loss in the car."

Ruan Mingzi nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, coachman, I know."

Ruan Mingzi was a reliable person in Niu San's heart. Seeing that she said this, Niu San believed it. He happily took a handful of fodder and fed the donkey.
Chapter completed!
