"Actually, Anxi Village and I are already on good terms with Village Chief Zhao. I haven't had much contact with him anyway, so it's hard to comment."
"Miss Niu, then after you left Anxi Village, you didn't ask about anything about you in the village?"
"my business?"
Niu Tangtang frowned. She was so busy supporting her family that she really didn't pay attention to Anxi Village: "Someone arranged for me?"
"I don't know who leaked the news that you are living here with two grown men, and that you have an abnormal relationship."
Niu Tangtang squinted, knowing that the only people in his family were Aunt Ma and Wen Tianci.
Aunt Ma is facing herself and won't talk nonsense at all.
Is that Wen Tianci?
No, there were two brothers from the Niu family who came with Wen Tianci that day.
It's possible that they spread the word.
"Then what?"
"Many villagers said that you were acting inappropriately and even said that you were the reincarnation of a vixen."
Niu Tangtang did not expect that the villagers' imaginations were so rich.
"Brother Zheng, I thank you for telling me these things, but you are always talking about them. If I go back and argue with them now, I will be fooled by them. Furthermore, Village Chief Zhao now wants to cooperate with Yunlai Village When it comes to growing cotton, it’s better if I keep a low profile, lest we fail to cooperate in the future and he thinks it’s me who is up to something.”
"Miss Niu, you have clearly suffered a great injustice, why do you seem to not care?" Zheng Lu didn't understand, "I can't bear it."
"I just don't want to get too involved with Anxi Village, and when I have full wings, I will have to leave this place sooner or later."
"Leave?" Zheng Lu was shocked, "Where to go?"
"To visit the great rivers and mountains of Dachu is to feel the people, local customs and customs of each place. In short, it doesn't matter where I go. When I can't walk anymore, maybe I will find a place to live near the mountains and rivers to spend my remaining years. "
"Young girl, you think so far ahead."
"Not far, this is my goal."
"Then you haven't thought about getting married?" Zheng Lu suddenly became embarrassed when he asked this question.
Niu Tangtang didn't pay attention, looked at him and asked: "I have experienced failure once, how can I still want to get married?"
"Then, if you meet someone who treats you sincerely, wouldn't you be willing?"
Zheng Lu actually didn't know what was wrong with him. Even after spending many days with Niu Tangtang, her smiling face always lingered in his mind.
I even dream about her.
"Then can you guarantee that the other person's sincerity will never change?" Seeing Zheng Lu stunned, Niu Tangtang smiled, "I myself feel that I can't be loyal to one person, let alone the other person. This kind of thing, Just let it go, but..."
"But what?" Zheng Lu's eyes, which had dimmed originally, suddenly brightened up again.
"If the other person is useful to me and can help me achieve my ideals in the next few decades, then I will consider it."
"Done? What has been accomplished?"
"Traveling around the mountains and rivers."
"..."
"Miss Niu, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things at home that have not been settled, so I will go back first." Zheng Lu stood up and ran out regardless of Niu Tangtang's response.
"How strange."
Niu Tangtang felt that Zheng Lu was acting strange today, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Just after wiping the table, he turned around and met Xia Houyu's deep eyes. He was startled: "Are you a ghost? Why is there no sound at all?"
Xia Houyu didn't answer. He heard what she and Zheng Lu just said.
"I was wondering if we were dragging you down?"
"ah?"
Niu Tangtang was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "Did you hear what I just said?"
Seeing him nodding, Niu Tangtang hurriedly shook his head: "What I said has nothing to do with you. Even without you, I will stay here for a while. I have to have money in my pocket before I can travel, otherwise I will end up halfway. Just starved to death.”
"With what a cowgirl is capable of, she can make money wherever she goes. It's just a matter of time."
Why did Niu Tangtang feel that Xia Houyu was in a bad mood again?
What he said was from his own heart, what didn't he say?
"Xia Houyu..."
"I see."
"ah?"
Niu Tangtang blinked and said nothing. What did he understand?
"If Miss Niu wants to leave one day, please remember to tell me in advance and I will make arrangements in time."
It's a bit difficult to communicate with him.
Niu Tangtang pursed his lips: "Let's talk about it then. I'll go and get busy first."
Sometimes, this is how misunderstandings arise.
Ever since Wen Tianci took over the task of suppressing bandits, he basically never went home.
Zhang Waner had not seen him for several days, and she felt increasingly uneasy. She had been hesitating whether to go to Niu Tangtang and let her make an idea.
As a result, the county magistrate's wife came to her every two days to chat and relieve her boredom.
Today she even pulled her out to do a horse-drawing exercise.
"Thirty thousand."
The county magistrate's wife glanced at Zhang Waner who was in a daze: "Wan'er, it's your turn to play your cards."
"Oh, no."
"Then I'm crazy."
The lady sitting opposite Zhang Waner showed her cards happily: "Miss Waner, you will become proficient in playing horse crane with us from now on."
"Okay, let's stop here today. You can go back first."
As soon as the two ladies left, the county magistrate's wife took Zhang Waner's hand and asked, "Did you quarrel with Tianci?"
"No."
"Then why do you look so absent-minded? Do you not like horse hanging?" The county magistrate's wife lowered her head and sighed, "Since I ate the fruit sent by Wan'er, my condition is getting better day by day. I I was thinking about how to repay you, but then I thought that you don’t lack anything, so I can only take you out for a walk, why not go to the silk and satin shop in the afternoon? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I will buy Wan’er two new clothes. "
"No, Madam Magistrate, I have enough clothes."
For some reason, Zhang Waner felt very confused, as if something had happened.
'It's okay, it's just my thoughts. '
Zhang Waner couldn't defeat the county magistrate's wife, so she could only follow her to the silk shop.
The county magistrate's wife spent a long time choosing two sets of clothes and insisted on Zhang Waner trying them on.
Zhang Waner thought to herself that this silk and satin shop is the largest in the city, so there should be no problems.
Then he took his clothes and went to the inner room to change.
As a result, as soon as she entered, a wet towel instantly covered her mouth and nose.
Her limbs fluttered a few times, and then she fainted.
The maid standing at the door was waiting left and right, but she didn't see her young lady coming out.
In desperation, he suddenly opened the inner room.
In the empty inner room, there is no trace of my own lady anywhere.
"No, it's bad, Miss Wan'er is missing!"
One word from the maid instantly caused chaos in the entire silk shop.
Under night.
A carriage was moving forward rapidly.
Zhang Waner opened her eyes in a daze, and a joking voice came to her ears: "As expected of the prefect's daughter, she is so beautiful."
She froze, but she didn't expect that Niu Tangtang would tell the truth.
