Chapter 1409 - 1404: Meeting Ruan Xiao Jiao
When Mu Xiaxia said that, Mu Shuangshuang suddenly felt that she didn’t need to take Mu Xiaxia to see Zheng Zhi to ask him to introduce some jobs.Because the little girl in front of her had already decided to leave the county.
Leave the county, and return to the village; everything can start anew.
"Take this!" Mu Shuangshuang handed over the silver she had just won, along with her original one tael of silver, all to Mu Xiaxia, totaling more than two taels.
With the addition of Mu Dajiang’s silver, which was more than a tael, it was enough for the fourth household to start a small business in the countryside.
Mu Xiaxia initially didn’t know what it was, but when she opened the cloth bag and saw the money inside, she shook her head vigorously.
"I don’t want it, I can’t take it!"
Mu Xiaxia handed the money back to Mu Shuangshuang.
From her eyes, there was not a hint of greed for money; even the past timidity had suddenly vanished.
Today’s contrast played a significant role in Mu Xiaxia’s growth.
"Anyway, it’s someone else’s, take it! Aren’t you going back? This, along with the money in Fourth Uncle’s hands, can start a little stall.
Start from the smallest place, when I return, if you have started it, I will tell you how to make good money!"
Mu Xiaxia’s actions today made Mu Shuangshuang feel that spending the money was very worthwhile.
At least, she completely did not have this feeling when handing money to Mrs. Liu.
Mu Xiaxia is the right person.
"Sister Shuangshuang, I... I will definitely pay it back to you!" Mu Xiaxia accepted the silver, she said.
Mu Shuangshuang: "It’s alright, later, I’ll take you back to the inn, I’ve extended the stay for three more days. After three days, I will leave here.
If you all go to the countryside within these three days, I can also send you along, coincidentally I have a friend who also needs you to help take them to the countryside together!"
Mu Dajiang knows how to drive a carriage; if he returns, Mu Shuangshuang wouldn’t need to find someone else to take care of Taohua.
"Okay, I’ll go and discuss this matter with my dad right away!" Mu Xiaxia said.
Mu Shuangshuang escorted Mu Xiaxia to the inn, and then she went alone to Jiu Si Xuan.
Seeing her, Zheng Zhi couldn’t help but be a bit curious, "What about your cousin? Didn’t she want me to introduce some jobs?"
"She’s going back to the village!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Zheng Zhi, thank you! Thank you for being willing to help me with this favor."
Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhi was a little disappointed, "So, you’re not coming to my house tonight to cook for my parents? I’ve been looking forward to this for hours!"
"Overthinking series! If I weren’t coming, I wouldn’t be here right now!" Mu Shuangshuang’s face was full of helplessness.
If she wasn’t sure from Zheng Zhi’s eyes that he didn’t feel romantic interest towards her, she would have definitely stayed far away from him just because of what he said.
"You’re still willing to come to my house?" Zheng Zhi found it hard to believe.
"Of course! Alright, not wasting time, I need quite a bit of ingredients, I’ll just take them from the kitchen at Jiu Si Xuan!"
Zheng Zhi nodded repeatedly, "Take as much as you need, I support you taking stuff from the kitchen!"
Mu Shuangshuang went to the kitchen and picked out quite a lot of good dishes.
Since it was the last meal she would cook in the county, at the Zheng family, Mu Shuangshuang saw no need to hold back, everything good should be brought out.
Zheng Zhi had sent someone to inform early on, so when she went to the Zheng family, she also saw Mrs. Zheng, caught up, and chatted.
The back courtyard of County Magistrate Zheng was one of the rare harmonious ones Mu Shuangshuang had seen, and for Ruan Xiao Jiao to be a concubine there was considered her luck.
Though now, many things are hard to say.
Mu Shuangshuang even felt that Ruan Xiao Jiao, if she had said from the beginning to the County Magistrate to stop taking concubines, and then got together with Mu Dade later, they wouldn’t have ended up like this, becoming rats in the gutter, never seeing the light of day.
Her whole life, only sneaking around.
"Miss Shuangshuang, you don’t know how much Zhi’er’s father and I crave the dishes you make, every time we think about it, our mouth waters!"
Mrs. Zheng, straightforward in nature, held Mu Shuangshuang’s hand, talking non-stop.
Mu Shuangshuang was taken aback pleasantly, "Madam, you overpraise, what I make is just average, it’s only because of your and the County Magistrate’s indulgence!"
Mu Shuangshuang maintained a humble attitude, and her words were honest.
Mrs. Zheng liked her more and more.
She asked Mu Shuangshuang’s age, secretly matched Mu Shuangshuang with her own son in her heart, and suddenly felt they were suitable.
When Mu Shuangshuang went to the kitchen to cook, she pulled Zheng Zhi aside and asked: "Zhi’er, what do you think of Miss Shuangshuang? How about bringing her home?"
Zheng Zhi was drinking tea, almost spitting it out.
"Mom, are you joking? Shuangshuang has a fiancé, and their relationship is good!"
"Are you stupid? Not married yet, anyone has a chance, have you forgotten how your dad and I got married?"
The story between Mrs. Zheng and County Magistrate Zheng was full of ups and downs.
Originally, the County Magistrate had an engagement, but later was won over by Mrs. Zheng through various means.
But mainly because the County Magistrate’s fiancée despised him for being poor, didn’t want to marry him, and Mrs. Zheng took advantage of the opportunity.
"Mom, you and dad were different! Shuangshuang and Fengzi’s relationship cannot be interfered with by others. You don’t want me and Shuangshuang to stop being friends, right?"
Zheng Zhi didn’t have many friends, even fewer willing to open their heart.
Mu Shuangshuang definitely counted as one.
Although he once thought about bringing Shuangshuang home.
Even the most beautiful jade, if not in the right person’s hands, is just a useless stone.
He couldn’t intervene in the world of Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, so it’s better not to enter.
"You child, just stubborn, like your dad! Your dad is taken by Ruan Xiao Jiao, always staying in her courtyard, losing his soul!"
Mrs. Zheng began expressing her dissatisfaction.
After all, she still cared about the County Magistrate taking another two concubines later.
Actually, women all mind, but they have no choice; men have three wives and four concubines.
County Magistrate was already considered good in Mrs. Zheng’s eyes!
This was also another reason Zheng Zhi didn’t pursue a romantic relationship with Mu Shuangshuang.
He couldn’t maintain exclusivity, at least not now.
"Mom, now at this point, you shouldn’t think about anything, otherwise you’ll just hurt yourself."
Zheng Zhi also resented his dad for taking concubines.
Looking at it now, many things couldn’t be blamed on his dad.
Life is so short, who knows if one will meet someone they like even more.
"I know, it’s just that I always feel Ruan Xiao Jiao is getting weirder and weirder! And that Taohua, her maid, suddenly disappeared!"
Mrs. Zheng kept talking about her doubts, unable to stop.
"Taohua? You mean the one who treats Ruan Xiao Jiao like sisters?" Zheng Zhi frowned.
"Yes, suddenly disappeared, I asked Ruan Xiao Jiao, she said she went back to the countryside! Didn’t say why!
The more mysterious that woman gets, the less I want to be nice to her. If she keeps doing this, I don’t know what I might do!"
