Chapter 5
"It seems that there are noble people in the village to arrive. They are all preparing for the past few days, and there are more snacks. I have some friendship with the new lily in the kitchen, so I asked for a few." She smiled and said, "Although we are a bit rougher, we are going to celebrate the New Year, girl, there is also this." She took out a string of bracelets of copper coins from her arms and said, "When I came back, I spent ten cents to buy them, and I will get a good start and have a smooth year."
Bai Zhi chuckled: "What are you doing when you want to buy a copper coin string for lottery tickets? Could it be that you pray that the girl will have a lot of money in the coming year?"
"What's wrong with the money coming up?" Lian Qiao said: "With money can make the devil push the mill, what's wrong with having money? If there is money, these people will never dare to bully the girl like this."
Bai Zhi hurriedly used a color to Lian Qiao and reminded her that Jiang Ruan was still there and stopped talking. Lian Qiao knew that she had made up her words, so she stopped talking and looked at Jiang Ruan carefully.
Jiang Ruan shook her head and slowly lifted the quilt and walked down. Lian Qiao hurried over to support her. Jiang Ruan walked to the table and sat down. She looked at the bracelet on the table, then reached out to put it on. She compared and said, "Get a good start."
Lian Qiao felt sad, thinking that the lady in the house was not a bunch of jewelry, big or small, in the New Year, but her own girl only had a copper coin string worth ten cents, which was not worth mentioning even if she was an ordinary family. She turned her head to cover the sourness in her eyes, Lian Qiao smiled and said, "Girl, eat another spring cake."
Jiang Ruan shook her head: "You can't eat it, you can eat it." She paused and said: "I don't have the money to reward you. Come with me to the farm. You have suffered a lot in the past four years. Fortunately, we don't have to endure hardships in this year."
"Yes, yes," Bai Zhi said quickly: "The girl has good luck this year and everything goes well!"
Jiang Ruan knew that she had misunderstood what she meant, but she didn't explain. She just looked out the window: "The weather is very good outside, let's go out for a walk."
Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao looked at each other in surprise. Jiang Ruan was unwilling to go out for a walk except for working. The servants in the village always mocked them when they saw them. Lian Qiao was arrogant and could barely calm some people, but it was useless. In the long run, Jiang Ruan became unwilling to meet others and always stayed in her own yard.
"Okay, okay," Lian Qiao smiled and went to flip through the box where she was putting her clothes: "What kind of clothes do the girl want to wear?"
Jiang Ruan laughed in her heart. In fact, it was the same in any clothes. When she came to the village, she brought a lot of items and clothes with her. However, the jewelry and clothes were cheated and snatched away by Zhang Lan and Chen Fang. In the end, she did not even have a single piece of her own clothes. Chen Fang took away all her clothes and exchanged them for her rough and ragged old clothes. Not to mention the appearance and materials, the cotton in the cotton coat in winter was so thin that it was difficult to even protect the cold.
"You choose." Jiang Ruan said.
After choosing a dark green buckle and Bai Zhi for a long time, she chose an old cotton jacket with dark green buckles. Below is a wide yellow and thick cloth skirt that Bai Zhi changed to smaller, and a long beige cloak covered with her head. Afraid that her delicate hair and clothes were not matched, Bai Zhi combed her simplest bun, because she was young and looked unexpectedly suitable. This outfit was not really festive, but Jiang Ruan's skin was white and her clothes didn't look rustic. Coupled with her quiet and indifferent temperament, she was completely different from her usual days.
After packing up, the three of them walked out of the yard. Lian Qiao suggested going to the street. As soon as she left the large mansion on the village, she met several people head-on. A surprise voice came: "Sister Ruan!"
Lian Qiao frowned, and Bai Zhi kept protecting Jiang Ruan behind her without hesitation. Jiang Ruan looked up, and the other party's shadow clearly reflected into her eyes.
It is the youngest son of Zhang Lan's family, Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao was coming back from outside today, and happened to see a few people walking out of the yard. The girl in the middle looked so handsome. She couldn't help but lit up. After seeing clearly, she realized that it was Jiang Ruan.
Jiang Ruan’s clothes are not as decent as Chen Fang on weekdays, and Chen Zhao rarely pays attention. A few days ago, he just thought about the taste of the lady in the Guan family. Who would have thought about it? He jumped into the water without saying a word. Now he thinks he is so angry that he is so angry that he looks like a different person when he sees it today.
Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him carefully. Jiang Ruan is only ten years old this year. She looks a little childish, but she has a precipitated smell in it. She is strangely mature. Two completely different temperaments appear on one person, which makes the other person look charming. Even if she is just a ten-year-old girl, Chen Zhao couldn't help swallowing. He had seen some young men in Chu Pavilion who have special hobbies and love to play with younger girls, but he didn't know what it felt.
Lian Qiao couldn't stand the lustful eyes of Chen Zhao falling on Jiang Ruan's body, and her expression sternly looked shaking. Without thinking, she opened her mouth: "Not careless, who is the one who is so unruly and talks to her master like this!"
Although his words were quite powerful, they could not play any role. Chen Zhao was not afraid. Chen Zhao also heard about what the status of this young lady in troubled people were in Beijing. Judging from Zhang Lan's meaning, maybe Jiang Ruan would have to stay in this farm all her life. Since this is the case, it would be great if she could play.
Although he thought so in his heart, Chen Zhao still smiled and bowed: "It's Zhao's, it's not. I just saw a few people walking from afar, thinking about who the fairy-like sister in the middle was. I was very surprised. When I walked in, I saw it as a lady. I couldn't help myself. I would like to forgive me."
As soon as these words were said, not only Lian Qiao, but Bai Zhi changed her face and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? You can also ruin the reputation of a girl!"
Chen Zhao took two steps back in surprise: "The reputation of the bad lady? Zhao has never thought so, how dare Zhao think about the young lady? I just hope that the young lady will not drive Zhao away, so that Zhao will be satisfied with it." He has caused many good women in daily life, so he opens his mouth and is smooth. If his daughter's house hears it, she will either cry on the spot or be embarrassed and blush with shame, but today she is a little abnormal.
Jiang Ruan looked at him quietly, her clear eyes were like a cold pond in winter, without a trace of warmth, her eyes were cold, but her lips were bent in a shallow curve, as if she was watching the performance of a clown in the jumping beam. There was no shame or anger, no tears, but a cold and thin expression, and she remained unmoved.
Chen Zhao was stunned, but saw Jiang Ruan slowly speaking: "Of course I won't drive you away."
Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi were both stunned. Such a hooligan could not even make it. What did Jiang Ruan mean?
