When the woman heard this, she hesitated.
She looked at Ji Wanrong's bright face. There was a smile on her face when she spoke, her voice was gentle, and two small pear dimples could often be seen on her cheeks.
Such a good-looking person doesn't look like a bad person. He probably asked such a question out of curiosity.
The gentle woman was confused by Ji Wanrong's face and answered without thinking, "I also heard from Aunt Zhang next door that they come back once a month, always to..."
"Pepe!"
Before the woman could finish speaking, she was interrupted by an elderly female voice.
Ji Wanrong looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old woman. She slowly stepped forward, walked to the woman's side, and held her hand.
The woman's expression was obviously flustered for a few moments, then she regained her composure.
The old woman raised her head, looked at Ji Wanrong's face, then squinted her eyes and asked, "What does this lady want to buy?"
When she was observing Ji Wanrong, Ji Wanrong was also observing her face.
This woman looks like she is a local in Xun County. If she is not a local, she must have been in Xun County for a long time. She is estimated to be around sixty years old.
Judging from his appearance, he has never given birth to any children.
Ji Wanrong was stunned when he saw this, and felt a little weird in his heart.
She then recalled the faces of County Magistrate Li and his wife in the box just now.
After staying in the capital for too long, all the people he met were acquaintances or wearing human skin masks. Ji Wanrong almost forgot that he could read faces.
Magistrate Li has a round face, and there seems to be some black energy in the middle of the hall. He looks like he has done bad things, and it looks like the ending will not be good.
But he also has a pair of thick ears, which are close to his head and have long earlobes. He probably still has some goodwill in his heart, and that goodwill will wash away his tragic ending.
All in all, as long as you make the right choice, the rest of your life will be peaceful, and there will be descendants who will pay filial piety to him a hundred years later.
As for the county magistrate's wife, Ji Wanrong only glanced at her briefly, and her impression was rather vague.
I only remembered that she had a hooked nose, a narrow forehead and a pointed head, and she seemed not to be easy to get along with. This was consistent with her behavior, so Ji Wanrong didn't find it strange at the time, and didn't even think about it in detail.
Ji Wanrong recalled carefully again and found that he could not remember the specific appearance of the county magistrate's wife, and he was not sure whether she was destined to have any children.
Unable to figure it out, Ji Wanrong had no choice but to give up.
She focused her eyes on the old woman in front of her again, and then asked with a smile: "Old woman, is this woman next to you your granddaughter? She is so beautiful that people love her."
The old woman glanced at Ji Wanrong, nodded, and then said dryly: "Yes."
Ji Wanrong smiled, what she said was a lie.
"The wood carvings you carved are really beautiful. My husband and I came to Xun County today to discuss the wood business. I really want to buy all your wood carvings and take them back to Jiangnan to give to my relatives."
"Especially this magnolia-style wooden hairpin, I like it very much when I look at it. I don't know if you carved this wood carving, or if it was carved by a man in your family?"
Ji Wanrong just asked this question. If ordinary people heard that Ji Wanrong wanted to buy all the wood carvings and had such deep pockets, they would be overjoyed to answer.
The people in Xun County are poor. Even if they make up a lie, they will deceive Ji Wanrong and get the money first.
But the old woman's eyes suddenly became wary. She snatched the wooden hairpin from Ji Wanrong's hand, and then waved her hand fiercely towards Ji Wanrong.
"I won't sell it anymore, I won't sell it anymore. Old lady, I don't do business with people from other counties."
After she said this, she turned around and motioned with her eyes to the little woman to move all the wood carvings back.
The little woman was a little reluctant and wanted to speak, but was frightened by her eyes and could only move everything back in silence.
Ji Wanrong still wanted to speak, but saw the old woman slamming the door shut.
The corner of her mouth twitched.
Shi Heng looked at the scene in front of him, slightly nudged Ji Wanrong with his elbow, and then said softly: "Although this woman is wearing ordinary clothes, the uppers of her shoes are made of expensive Su embroidery."
"And the embroidery surface of Su embroidery is also a recently popular style in Jiangnan."
Ji Wanrong nodded after hearing this, which meant that there was something wrong with the beautiful little woman just now.
Mo Jiecheng heard what Shi Heng said. In order to prove his strength, he also rushed to Ji Wanrong's side and spoke softly to Ji Wanrong.
"The old woman heard that you wanted to buy all her wood carvings, but she closed the door without any hesitation, which proves that she is not short of money."
"And the little woman hesitated in her heart, but still listened to the old woman's words, which proves that she was short of money, at least she was short of money before, but now she has to listen to the old woman's orders."
"This combination is like...an outer chamber and a nun."
When Ji Wanrong heard what the two said, he raised his head and looked first at Shi Heng, then at Mo Jiecheng, and then the corner of his mouth twitched.
"You know embroidery and materials very well."
"You know a lot about foreign affairs and women."
"You two are really experts in love."
After Ji Wanrong said this, the expressions of both of them changed, and Shi Heng laughed softly: "I only know a little bit, but this guard Acheng, who knows so much, still wants to be with me?" Competing for favor is beyond my expectation.”
Mo Jiecheng was so angry that his nose was crooked: "I'm just afraid that the walls will have ears when I go back, so I can only say it on the street! It's not a competition for favor!"
Ji Wanrong also smiled, and then walked slowly on the street again.
Although this Xun County is weird and mysterious, walking on the street carefree like this makes people feel a sense of relaxation that is different from the capital city.
It's a pity that this relaxation did not last long, and everyone walked back to the county magistrate's mansion.
When we returned to the county magistrate's office, the sky began to gradually dim.
When Shi Heng and his party arrived at the county magistrate's house, there were special people at the door who took them to the arranged courtyard.
It is a courtyard with a master bedroom in the middle and a side room on either side of the master bedroom for their attendants.
Ji Wanrong and Shi Heng's luggage were also placed in the master bedroom in the middle.
When Mo Jiecheng entered the master bedroom and saw the bundle placed on the soft couch, his face slowly darkened.
When Ji Wanrong entered the master bedroom and closed the door, Mo Jiecheng spoke to them.
"The baggage has been moved."
Everyone's expressions darkened.
