He Ning'an grabbed the silver and said in a cold voice, "Our family is our family. We will definitely live better than you. Just wait. Sooner or later, there will be a day when you will beg me to come back." After that, he turned around and left with Zhang Hejing.
"Ah, what a sin!" The old princess sighed. She looked at the man's leaving back and said nothing.
After the people from the second house left, the people who had been watching the fun became more interested.
"Shang Ruoyi just said that her family is looking for workers to build a house. Is that true?"
"I think so. If they want to build a house, how can they have enough manpower? They have to recruit workers."
"She just said that she would provide food and wages."
A man stepped forward courageously and said, "Girl, you just said you were going to build a house and recruit workers, is that true?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Of course."
"Do you really want to provide food and give money?"
"Yes, but I only want hardworking and capable people. If you want to come here for free food, free drinks and money." She smiled, but her eyes were full of coldness, which made people tremble in their hearts: "I'm sorry, I can only let him leave."
"Then when will it start?" The court's multi-grain cakes were only distributed for a few days. If they couldn't find a job and had no money, they would have to starve.
It's cold and hungry in winter, and it's deadly.
"Just these few days."
When everyone heard this, they immediately smiled happily. At least their future was secure.
After breaking off relations with the second wife, Shang Ruoyi was in a very good mood. She told everyone to put their things away and then went to the inner room. The old man in the gray robe put his wife on the couch and turned to her and said, "What kind of house do you want to build?"
"I'm new here, and I don't know what materials are here."
"Now most people use stone mixed with mud to build houses, poor families use straw or wood, and rich families use blue bricks."
"Blue bricks?" It was the first time she heard of it.
"Yes, this kind is specially made for rich families. It is expensive, but it is very strong and durable. Most importantly, it keeps you warm in winter. In this bitter cold place in the far north, the winter is very long."
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "In that case, let's use blue bricks!" She smiled and said: "Senior, I haven't asked for your name yet."
"My surname is Wu, and my given name is Wenhan."
Shang Ruoyi briefly described the house she wanted to build, and saw that Old Wu frowned slightly: "Such a large house will probably require a lot of blue bricks!"
"I have enough money. You just need to help me design the cover and I'll be done." After she finished speaking, she walked to the bedside and took out a pill from the porcelain bottle for her to take. It was a pill specially formulated for tuberculosis in the laboratory. She put it in Old Wu's hand and said, "One pill a day and I'll be done."
"Miss Shang, how long will it take for my old lady to get better?"
"It took about a month and he recovered."
So fast!
Mr. Wu never thought that his wife would actually get better. He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes and he kept expressing his gratitude to her.
"Mr. Wu, you're welcome."
In the evening, Shang Ruoyi cooked by herself and made a table of delicious food with the ingredients she bought.
The old princess nodded repeatedly, saying that the food was delicious and tasty. She said, "I didn't expect Ruoyi's cooking skills to be so good. We are in for a real treat." They also ate her cooking on the way to exile, but the conditions on the road were harsh. They often had no food to eat, and the future was uncertain. Even the most precious seafood tasted like chewing wax.
Now that everything has settled, I feel a lot more at ease.
Old Wu put down his chopsticks, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and said with a smile: "Miss Shang's cooking skills are really unique. Even the restaurants in the capital can't compare to yours."
"Mr. Wu, you are too kind."
"Mr. Wu, have you ever been to the capital?" He Jingheng looked at him and said indifferently, "The capital is very far from here."
Mr. Wu paused for a moment, then explained, "It happened many years ago, so let's not talk about it."
He Jingheng nodded and continued eating without answering.
Shang Ruoyi did not suspect anything, and after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, when it was dark, they fell into a deep sleep.
After a long time, two figures appeared in the yard.
"How is it?" He Jingheng's figure appeared from the darkness.
"Master, the two of us have searched all the pawn shops in town but couldn't find the ring."
"But we found the jewelry of the princess and others in the pawnshop you mentioned. We redeemed them all according to your instructions." Yunqi handed the things to him: "But there are a few more than you mentioned."
He Jingheng picked up the jewelry that Shang Ruoyi had pawned and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure you have found everything and nothing is missing?"
"Yes, I have asked all of them."
"Master, could that ring have been taken away by Miss Shang? That ring..."
Yun Tian was interrupted before he finished speaking: "It doesn't matter, it was a fake."
Fake?
"Okay, you guys go down!" He Jingheng's face was slightly gloomy, and he looked at the door of the room in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yuntian wanted to say something, but Yunqi grabbed him by the collar and flew away.
He stood in the courtyard for a long while, his eyes fixed on the room. After a long while, he murmured, "If you are really a spy, I will admit it."
Yunqi pulled Yuntian and flew for a long time using Qinggong before they stopped.
Yuntian said angrily, "What are you doing? Why don't you let me speak?"
"What the hell!" Yunqi shouted angrily, "Can't you see that the master is in a bad mood?"
"That ring concerns the lives of hundreds of thousands of our brothers! The prince actually used it to test a woman." Yun Tian thought for a moment and said, "That woman is the enemy's daughter."
Yunqi sighed: "Everything must be under the master's control. We just need to follow the master's instructions."
Yuntian smacked his lips and said, "But the food that woman cooks is really delicious. I can smell it even in the yard. It makes me drool."
Yunqi nodded: "Yes!"
"But I've walked so far, how can I still smell it?" Yun Tian murmured, "Could it be that I'm too hungry?"
At this time, Yunqi took out an oil paper from his arms, and inside was a roasted chicken.
"You are actually smuggling contraband!" Yuntian was about to snatch it, but Yunqi dodged him.
Yunqi pulled off the chicken butt and handed it to him: "This is yours."
Yuntian: “…”
If you are a brother, do you dare to give him a chicken leg?
Yunqi used practical actions to tell him that if they were not brothers, he could eat it if he wanted or not.
The next morning, when Shang Ruoyi got up, she found He Jingheng sitting in the yard.
She walked up and said with a smile, "You're up so early."
"Yeah." After he finished speaking, he turned and left, his tone was a little cold, but Shang Ruoyi didn't care. Since they met, this man's personality was weird.
I originally wanted to return the ring in my space to him, but when I saw him walking away, I had to give up.
At this moment, in the woods not far away, a group of people were quietly approaching them.
