The golden and jade of the peasant girl in charge

Chapter 237
Ruyi looked at Xiangmanlou behind her: "How did you know I came here?"

Jiang Chengye's eyes were indifferent, as if he glanced over her head and looked directly at Xiangmanlou behind her: "Baiweilou is still under renovation, and General Pei Yurong invited you but you delayed the time, so you will be delayed in these two places?" Of course I won’t go, I didn’t see you in the market along the way, if you have anything else to delay for so long, it’s probably only here.”

Ruyi smiled: "You understand."

Jiang Chengye snorted with his nose: "Every fool knows."

Ruyi smiled deeper: "How, can I go back now?"

Jiang Chengye, however, shook his fingers very stylishly, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "Since you're here, why don't you go back after watching the show?"

Ruyi's eyes suddenly lit up, she squinted slightly to look at Jiang Chengye, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand, turned around and left, Jiang Chengye didn't expect such a big reaction from her, but her direction was wrong, the hand being held He tugged at her: "Going in the wrong direction."

Ruyi did not turn her head firmly: "That's right! Buy snacks first!"

Although Dongqiao Town is just a small town, it is a small town that must pass through from the commercial capital of Duanyang City to the water city of Qingcheng. Going out of Dongqiao Town, if you walk in a straight direction, you will lead to Ruyi. Hejia Village and several other neighboring villages, but if you turn eastward, you will come to an official road all the way from Duanyang City.

This official road was built by the imperial court. Not to mention the spaciousness of the mainland, there will be some tea soup shops from time to time. Most of the business travelers will use this road to transport goods, including the transportation of the Zheng family's timber raw materials.

Most of the Zheng family’s workshops are traded in finished products, because the trees in the barren hills are uneven in wood. If they open up wasteland by themselves, the cost of workers’ wages plus wood treatment is almost the same as the cost of direct purchase of wood raw materials. Therefore, for a long time, The Zheng family directly purchased wood from Duanyang City on a regular basis every month, and then received orders to process it into finished products.

This day happened to be the day when the Zheng family's timber was transported from Duanyang City.

Dusk fell, bringing darkness to the whole land.On a big sycamore tree beside the official road, Ruyi held a candied fruit in her mouth and crossed her legs, staring at the movement below without blinking.

Jiang Chengye leaned against the tree trunk, and sat with Ruyi on a branch protruding from the sycamore tree. One of his legs was hanging down, and the other was slightly bent. Ruyi, who was eating preserved fruit, reached out and stabbed the man next to him, and said in an airy voice : "After all, Li Hengcai is a restaurant owner. If he trips up his opponent and plays dirty tricks, it can be regarded as a business scandal at best, but if he robs things now, he is directly a bandit. Can the two be the same?"

Jiang Chengye reached out his hand to touch a preserved fruit in her oil paper bag and put it in his mouth. After chewing it a few times, he felt that it was not as delicious as the small bowl cake she made, so he vomited: "Do you think you are a child playing house? Judging from the truth about the seafood case, strictly speaking, Li Hengcai has already taken his own life, and the interests of the world are the greatest. If he is blatantly set on fire and does not fight back, it is equivalent to treating himself as a soft persimmon for others to pinch. Besides, can the money for the renovation of Baiwei Building fall from the sky? Naturally, he has to use other methods to get back some money for himself, otherwise this is not in line with his style..." Jiang Chengye paused, looked at Ruyi, Then said: "But if he really didn't come to rob the goods, the biggest reason..."

"The biggest reason is that we never lied to him? While he suspects that Zheng Ze did this, he also retains the possibility that someone else deliberately framed him?" Ruyi took his words smoothly, and Jiang Chengye looked at and The woman who got more and more in tune with herself smiled and nodded.

Ruyi thought about it for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it made sense, and said, "If he really didn't come to rob the goods, we might have to think about it later..." Speaking of Li Hengcai, Ruyi suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Jiang Cheng Ye: "You said you came from Qingcheng?"

Jiang Chengye looked at his nose, nose and heart, and nodded silently.

"Then if it's not about Qingcheng, do you know? For example... Bianjing?" Ruyi asked very cautiously, but the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. Subtle inquiries—does she know something?
"Just tell me, I'll tell you what I know." Jiang Chengye replied calmly.

Ruyi thought for a while, and said: "At the beginning of the contest with Huo Yun, Zheng Ze invited Shen Yuanhui, the young master of the Food Order, to hold me out everywhere. Later, during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Zheng Ze wanted to take me to Liuge's old mansion for a banquet. Mr. Liu Ge, you know, I heard that I am the teacher of the current emperor, but because I signed a contract with Baiweilou, and everything related to cooking is in honor of the name of Baiweilou, so Zheng Ze was cut off by Li Hengcai When I came back from Baiweilou, Li Heng directly mentioned the matter of entering the palace to me. I will definitely not go to this palace, but I am really curious about what role I can play. "

Jiang Chengye's eyes fell on her face and looked at her for a long time, but he never saw the slightest sign of deceit from that frank face. After a long time, he said lightly: "Since he has no intention of entering the palace, how can those things be entangled?" , I don’t know, but instead of thinking about these things that have nothing to do with the future, it’s better to think about how to get rid of the coveting of these people..." He said halfway, and then said to her in a slightly disgusted tone: "Or do you think you can really be so powerful and great? Power ministers and generals, with pens and knives and guns, do you also want to get involved? What? Your big spoon?"

Such a contemptuous tone is really awkward. It is true that Ruyi has no intention of doing what he said, but she is not convinced when she listens: "Are you looking down on me as a cook, or as a woman? You think women can't do big things and can't get mixed up Jiangshan is your men's bad opinion, maybe it won't be long before women can be officials, and they can surpass the status of men! They all rely on their own abilities, so you can't look down on them!"

Even if a man likes a woman again, he still finds it more funny than admirable to hear such words. Jiang Chengye is indeed an atypical nobleman, but at the same time he is also a typical feudal man, and he is one of the top feudal men. The first type, the fixed thinking, after all, made him and Ruyi disagree on the idea of ​​equal rights for men and women.

But after all, this is an impromptu topic. Besides, neither Ning Ci in the previous life nor Ruyi in this life is an ambitious person. All she has to do is to keep her family safe and live a good life without being affected by others. Bully.So even if the two had disagreements, they didn't have any disputes because of it, but when Jiang Chengye looked at Ruyi again, there was a little more difference.

The land under the night was silent, and on the increasingly rare official road, there was the sound of a car wheel, and Ruyi quickly tugged at the corner of Jiang Chengye's clothes, but after a few tugs, someone grabbed her hand, and Ruyi turned around. Turning his head, the man who was lazily leaning against the tree trunk just now was already beside him, with a hand stretched over the back of her neck to the front, covering her mouth.
