In a noble family like the Taifu's, the servants in the mansion are strictly divided into different levels. Lai Xi is a first-class servant serving the Taifu, and Meixiang is a second-class maid in the backyard of the inner house.
Although Meixiang's status is lower than Lai Xi's, Lai Xi has no control over her. The two of them are from the outer courtyard and the inner house respectively, so they are obviously related to each other. In the final analysis, they are from the same mansion.
So, if Lai Xi wanted to say something to her seriously, he could still say it.
Whether Meixiang would listen or not was up to her. However, if he reported to the Grand Tutor that Meixiang's work performance was not good enough, Meixiang would be in big trouble.
Meixiang dared to act arrogantly in front of Lai Xi and slapped his hand away unscrupulously, simply because she relied on the fact that Lai Xi was somewhat interested in her.
There was a magnetic field between people, and she had long sensed Lai Xi's feelings for her. If she hadn't followed Ah Man here, if the old lady in the mansion had pointed her out to Lai Xi, she would probably have been happy too. The two of them were quite a good match.
If she marries Lai Xi, even if the child she gives birth to is a domesticated one, as long as he is useful and can pass the imperial examination in the future, she will have the hope of escaping slavery.
Unfortunately, there is no if in the world, and time will never flow back unless she can travel through time or be reborn. She can be said to have been ruined for life by meeting Ding Youtian.
Ding Youtian took out the copper coins and originally planned to go to the stable to find Master Ding San and ask him to drive to Dawan Village and secretly give the money to Ma Fuquan. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered that Jian Ning didn't ask him to deliver it, but only asked him to come back to get the money. Could it be that Ma Fuquan could actually enter her mysterious Baicaojian?
Thinking of this, he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, but he felt uncomfortable anyway.
He turned and walked out of the yard.
Meixiang's eyes followed him involuntarily, and Tian and Lai Xi glanced at her at the same time.
A villager came to the clinic for a medical consultation. He only had a minor corneal inflammation. Jian Ning examined him and gave him a bottle of eye drops. The shelves were already filled with standard medications she'd taken from the pharmacy. She'd put some out daily, and the pharmacy would automatically restock them after midnight. As a result, she kept many standard medications incredibly cheap, even giving away eye drops for free. So, even though the clinic hadn't officially opened yet, the villagers kept coming in daily.
After the villagers left, Ding Youtian took out the money and deliberately asked her, "Do you want to send Master Ding San to deliver it?"
Jian Ning narrowed her eyes slightly, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? If you wanted Master Ding San to give it to you, you wouldn't have come to ask me. Bring it here."
She stretched out her hand.
Ding Youtian smiled and handed over the copper coins. "Take me in to open my eyes." Jian Ning took the money and smiled. "Okay, close your eyes." Ding Youtian was so excited that he didn't think much about it. He closed his eyes as he was told. "Is it okay?"
He didn't ask a second time. He had already sensed something was wrong. When he opened his eyes, Jian Ning was nowhere to be seen.
I was fooled!
The next second, he gritted his teeth and questioned Jian Ning who had appeared, "Didn't you two each have one? Can you enter his or can he enter yours? Why don't you take me in? What secrets do you two have?"
"Ding Youtian!"
"Are you questioning me?"
Their eyes met, and Ding Youtian's brows gradually relaxed, and his tone softened. "I'm just curious, why can't you take me in to take a look?"
"Want to know the reason?"
"Um."
"I won't tell you."
"you!"
Ding Youtian flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Tsk, this guy is still angry. Jane Ning rolled her eyes at his back. She wanted to take him in, but could he get in?
Unless she is allowed to shoot and go in sideways.
Dawan Village.
After the elder had offered tea, Ma Fuquan handed twenty coins to the elder Meng, then bowed and said, "Ma has some official business to attend to. Could you please return the grain cart so that we can return home as soon as possible?"
When he thought about returning the grain cart, the twenty cents that Boss Meng had just received suddenly lost their appeal. He was extremely unhappy and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Especially the second son, Meng Lao Er, who had always been the one to come up with the bad ideas, also went to Zhuling County. He and his two sons all went; three from his family went, two from Meng Lao's family went, and only the eldest son, Ding Youwang, went from Old Ding's family. Neither Meng nor Old Ding was willing to send an extra person, as an extra person meant an extra expense.
Saving as much as possible is the consistent principle of Old Dingtou and the Meng family.
But they didn't know that when you are away from home, one less person means one less help. When the eldest Meng and his son fell to the ground, the second Meng and his two sons were like actors, crying and shouting, each with more expressive expression than the other.
The eldest brother was already weighed down by the failure of the deal and the loss of travel expenses. He was woken up by their crying in a daze. When he heard that the food had been robbed, he was greatly disturbed. He was also confused by the fancy performance of Meng Laoer and his son. He was easily led into their emotions and believed the lies they made up, and concluded that the food had been robbed by bandits.
Once he got the food, it was like his own. Now that he had to spit it out, Meng Laoer felt as if his heart was being torn out.
Can I not return it?
He really wanted to act like a scoundrel, but the clan leader was reasonable. "You've already beaten him, served him tea, and compensated him. What else do you want?"
"My words as the clan leader are no longer effective in front of you guys, right?"
The clan leader had said so much, and even if it meant cutting off his own heart and flesh, Boss Meng had no choice but to return the grain cart. Thinking that he hadn't gotten a single grain, and that the Ding family leader had pushed it back from a thousand miles away for nothing, Boss Meng felt so bad that he stamped his feet so hard that the soles of his shoes were almost broken!
Ma Fuquan accompanied the eldest brother and his friends to the warehouse. Seeing his own grain cart, the eldest brother remembered how they had conspired to deceive him, saying his uncle was too heartbroken to leave for a while, and that he should go back and tell his family. Then he recalled how he had struggled all the way from Shanlan County, heartbroken like a beggar, and how he had finally made it home, and he couldn't help but curse at the top of his voice again.
