Suspect

Aji returned to the wing room in a complicated mood.

My younger brother went outside disobediently, and my younger sister was pretty well-behaved and stayed in the study. Aji wanted to be alone and quietly, so she sat outside the room, nervous.

He said he passed by, what should he do when he came here?

He hasn't appeared for so many days, and with Ru Niang's incident, she almost forgot that there is such a human-faced and beastly heart...

"Girl, are there customers at home?" Ru Niang picked up the curtain and walked out curiously.

Aji suppressed his annoyance and pretended to be natural and explained: "It was Mr. Zhao who taught Xiaojiu Kung Fu, just passing by."

"Xiaojiu is still learning kung fu?" Ru Niang asked more and more curiously, sitting opposite Aji to ask her what was going on.

Aji didn't want to mention that person more, so he simply told the story. As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhu leaned in at the door: "Sister, Mr. Zhao gave us a deer, but she was still alive. Now that he is leaving, do you want to go over and see?"

Aji was not interested in the things that the man gave him, but Ru Niang's eyes lit up and walked up to her and pulled her: "Good girl, go, I haven't seen a deer yet. I didn't expect to see that kind of novelty in my lifetime!"

She enthusiastically pulled her, Aji wouldn't go, for fear of being suspicious. After all, deer is indeed a rare thing, and she has no reason not to look at it. On one side is his sister and Ru Niang, Aji had to stand up and plan to go over and take a look and then walk away.

The three girls went out together.

There was a persimmon tree beside the wall of the Lin family, and the deer was tied under the tree. The Liu family and his son were looking there. There were neighbors looking inside at the door, knowing that Lin Xian was not at home, and most of the people who came to see the fun were female relatives. Liu enthusiastically invited them to come in, and while looking at the deer, he introduced Mr. Zhao's relationship with his family. For a while, the yard was very lively.

Lin Zhuruniang hugged Aju and squeezed in.

It was a doe slightly larger than an ordinary goat. Its fur color was brown and yellow, with round white spots mixed with round and white spots, which looked very beautiful. Perhaps there were too many people around it, and it was lying nervously under the tree, its head and ears were spinning uneasy, and its eyes were afraid of being prepared. It was as agile as a child, making people want to get close to it.

Aji couldn't help but take a look.

The doe was wrapped in gauze on her left hind leg. I don’t know if it was injured by herself or the arrested deer. As for the doe’s belly...

"Look at the deer's belly is so big and its nipples are bloated. You must be having a baby. Xiao Jiuniang, you are so lucky. How can you sell a hundred taels of silver for this big and small one? "The wife of the Wang family next door said enviously. The villagers didn't know anything anymore, and they knew that the deer was full of treasures, and the fur and venison were very valuable.

Before Liu could speak, Lin Chongjiu hugged her arm nervously and begged: "Mom, Brother Zhao said the deer was given to me. I want to raise it. Can we not sell it?"

Liu touched his head with a funny look, turned his head to the Wang family's wife and said, "This is what Mr. Zhao specially gave us. How inappropriate it is to sell it, so keep it for the children to play with." He lowered his head and told Lin Chongjiu: "Since you want to raise it, you will break branches and feed it in the future. Don't be lazy!"

Lin Chongjiu asked excitedly: "Deer eats branches?"

Liu tweeted his stupid son's head: "Don't there still leaves on the branches? But my mother doesn't understand either. I turn around and ask your father and Mr. Zhao, they should know."

Lin Chongjiu nodded: "Brother Zhao must know that he knows a lot..."

Aji actually likes this deer very much, but when her mother and younger brother repeatedly mentioned that person, she was upset and found an excuse to go back to the house.

Ru Niang watched her leave and looked back at the deer, she was both envious and emotional. Mr. Zhao was so worried that if she had to please her, she would have been moved by another girl, right?

The whole day, villagers kept coming to watch the fun. The Lin family yard was noisy and did not stop until dusk.

After dinner, it was a good time for the villagers to enjoy the cool air, and Lin Xian and his wife went out to visit each other.

Aji and Lin Zhu were playing chess in the yard, and Ru Niang sat aside and watched them.

Lin Chongjiu suddenly ran back from outside. When Aji saw that his younger brother didn't come, he didn't go to the house, and didn't go to see his new favorite. Instead, he stood not far away and shook his eyes at her. He immediately understood and found an excuse to give the seat to Ru Niang. She went to find her younger brother and took him to the room to "wash his hands".

After entering the main hall, Lin Chongjiu couldn't wait to say, "Sister, Brother Meng is waiting for you at the back door, go quickly."

Aji had already expected that Meng Zhongjing must have been worried about the man coming, and wanted to ask her if she had been bullied, but she was still annoyed that Meng Zhongjing had admitted the wrong person and didn't want to see him these two days. Aji lowered her head and whispered to her brother: "I won't go. If you go and tell him, just say I'm fine and let him not worry."

"Why don't you go?" Lin Chongjiu was very confused. This has never happened before.

"You don't have to worry about that, just help you pass the message." Aji was upset, and after saying that, he turned around and walked back.

Lin Chongjiu scratched his head in confusion and went to the back door to find Meng Zhongjing.

The door opened, but the person who came was not the expected fiancée. Meng Zhongjing could not hide the disappointment in his eyes and asked Lin Chongjiu in a hurry: "Where is your eldest sister?"

Lin Chongjiu then learned what had just happened.

Meng Zhongjing was stunned.

When he was like this, Lin Chongjiu felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking of his new treasure, he immediately invited him: "By the way, Brother Meng, Brother Zhao gave me a doe with a cub in his arms. It looks so good. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Meng Zhongjing's face suddenly became cold.

The incident of Mr. Zhao sending deer to the Lin family spread almost all over the village. No matter whether they saw Mr. Zhao or not, they praised him as a god. Some even secretly guessed whether Mr. Zhao was interested in the girl of the Lin family. Fortunately, the Lin family is very famous, and the person who said that was pushed back. Some people said that Lin Xian was not that kind of person, or they said that Mr. Zhao was very sensible in his actions, and he didn't even enter the door. Giving gifts was just because of his relationship with Lin Chongjiu.

What makes him most shocked is that more than one person is talking about if Aji has not gotten engaged, he will be in line with Mr. Zhao, but it’s a pity...

Is he not worthy of Aji? He and her childhood sweethearts are not worthy of Aji in the eyes of those people because their family has no money?

The villagers thought this way, and the man thought this way even more. The man's smug smile appeared in front of him, and Meng Zhongjing was so angry that he was breathing heavily.

He frowned, Lin Chongjiu was inexplicably upset: "Brother Meng, what's wrong with you?"

The boy's voice was timid. Meng Zhongjing didn't want to lose his composure in front of a child. He shook his head and was about to leave. After taking two steps, hesitated for a moment, but hesitated and asked: "Xiaojiu, do your elder sister, like that deer too?"

This question is a bit difficult to answer. Lin Chongjiu thought about it carefully and said blankly: "My second sister likes it very much. She has been squatting beside her and watching it. The eldest sister looked at it for a while at first, but she never came to the side again. However, when she entered and went out, she secretly looked over there several times. I asked her to go to see her but didn't go. It was so strange."

Meng Zhongjing's heart was so sank that he could peek, but he liked it.

Mr. Zhao is so rich. This time she gives deer and next time she sends something to her. If she likes it once, she will like it twice. I'm afraid she will sooner or later... So now she doesn't want to see him anymore, for fear that he will see it?

Meng Zhongjing left in a daze and couldn't sleep all night.

Aji also slept soundly. She was worried that the man would be entangled, and she was annoyed that Meng Zhongjing would admit his mistake, and she was unprecedentedly irritable.

The next day she got up early. When she was dressing, she glanced at the clothes she had folded like a mother, with a corner of gray silk pressing under her white skirt.

Did it sew the one for my younger brother? Why haven’t it been sewed yet? Ru Niang embroidered it quickly, and it didn’t take a day to sew clothes for her and her younger sister.

Maybe it was because I kept watching deer yesterday?

Aji shook her head and waved away the random thoughts. Ru Niang gave them clothes with good intentions, but she didn't say she had to finish them in one day. Maybe she just wanted to stay for one day yesterday? How could she care about time like this? She is not the maid at home.

After reading books with her younger brother and sister for a whole morning, Aju had forgotten about it. But when she was resting at noon, she suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Ru Niang sitting with her back facing her, with gray silk hanging on both sides on the kang, as if she was sewing something.

Aji was still a little confused, looking at Ru Niang's back half open, and just as she was about to speak, her eyes returned to the gray silk again.

Such long sleeves are not for her brother at first glance, nor does it seem to be for her own.

Aji's sleepiness disappeared and she stared at Ru Niang's back in a daze.

What I did for my father? It is definitely not. I wouldn’t mention whether Ru Niang, a married girl, gave her father clothes. Even if it was just to repay her kindness, she didn’t have to hide it. When their sisters were there, they had to wait until they were not here or went to bed before they started.

It’s not my father, in this village, Ru Niang knows Meng Zhongjing, a big man.

But Ru Niang clearly hasn't mentioned Meng Zhongjing on her own initiative recently, and she can't know what size clothes Meng Zhongjing should wear...

The person in front suddenly turned his head, as if he was going to take something. Aju closed his eyes in a scattered manner, not wanting her to know that she was awake.

After about two quarters of an hour, it was almost time for her to get up. Aji was hesitating whether to remind Ru Niang if she woke up, but suddenly she heard something moving beside her. She quietly opened a slit of her eyes and saw Ru Niang folded up her unsewn clothes and placed them on the other side of the kang, and covered them with changing clothes, tightly.

Aji only felt chills all over.

If Ru Niang was really sewing it for Meng Zhongjing, it would be great to hide it these days.

Or maybe, although it was for Meng Zhongjing, she just wanted to repay her kindness, so she didn't tell her because she was afraid that she would misunderstand it?

Looking back on Ru Niang's words and deeds over the past few days, Aji didn't want to think too badly about others, but she couldn't get along with Ru Niang as if nothing had happened.

He thought he could not be inconsistent with his appearance, so Aji tried to stay in the study and reduce the time he spent with Ru Niang, so that she would not notice her change in her attitude.

She waited patiently, no matter who Ru Niang made the clothes for, there would be a day to send them out.

Aji really wants to know what reaction would be if that person was Meng Zhongjing and Meng Zhongjing would receive the clothes.hf();
