Chapter 875
The fish really took the bait!
In the evening, when the old lady and Zhang Lingling came back, their attitude towards them turned 180°.
Normally, Zhang Lingling would go to accompany her man in the evening if she had nothing to do. But these two days she simply didn't go because she was happy.
In addition, old and beautiful women like them are not popular in Yihongyuan at all, and all those who can be assigned to them are old men with no money.
Zhang Lingling was not without a look, of course he could see that the people living in his family were either rich or noble, especially the young master with oily hair and a pink face, whose face was so tender that it would make him wet.
Zhang Lingling immediately thought of going out and hooking up with a wild man without caring about the real rich man in her family. Zhang Lingling really couldn't do it.
As soon as evening came, Zhang Lingling brought back a lot of rouge gouache from outside, and packed back a lot of snacks to go with the wine.
"It's really troublesome for Sister Zhang. I didn't expect Sister Zhang to be so considerate."
Mei Niang greeted her immediately. A woman like this has low self-esteem. She has been working outside for so long, she is old, and she is doing the most menial job. What she hopes most is to be recognized by others.
Although Mei Niang has a scar on one side of her face, she can't hide the enchanting charm on the other side.
Mei Niang knew very well what Zhang Lingling was thinking.
I think back then, she also had this idea.
How could the young master from the Dongfang family like Zhang Lingling, Mr. Xu's bridesmaid, if he didn't even like her?
But having said that, they still have some use for Zhang Lingling, and they don't dare to express this to Zhang Lingling.
Mei Niang turned around and told Dongfang Shuo that although Dongfang Shuo hated Zhang Lingling, she was a man who played with flowers after all. As long as he gave a woman a signal, she would miss him with all her heart.
"Do you understand?"
"What are you listening to? Isn't it just to hook up with a woman? Would an old woman like him still use me to hook up with her?"
Dongfang Shuo was very disdainful in his words, towards Zhang Lingling or Mei Niang.
Mei Niang rolled her eyes. What he had learned the most over the years in the outside world was to read people's glances.
In these years outside, only those who understand the overall situation can survive, but this Dongfang Shuo, and his sister Dongfang Ya, put on airs every day, thinking that they are our young masters? How depressed are they now?
Zhang De had already cut off their escape route. If Mei Niang guessed correctly, Zhang De wanted to consume them alive!
As we all know, when an old cat catches a mouse, he will not devour the mouse in one go. Instead, he will play with it for half a day, and then kill it in one fell swoop when the mouse is dying.
In this way, you can get pleasure and have a full stomach at the same time, so why not do it?
In Mei Niang's view, they are just a bunch of mice. No matter which hole they hide in, Zhang De's old cat will uproot them.
As snobbish as they are now, it's easy to deal with them.
But why are they still alive now? And why has Zhang De not taken action yet?
Mei Niang is unknown.
"Thank you, Sister Zhang, for the rouge."
Zhang Lingling waved her hands. The money given by their group of donors was large. Although it was just for running an errand, Zhang Lingling also bought a set for herself. After all, the money given by others should not be spent in vain.
"Here, here's the rest of the money! That boss is so stubborn that I paid him back half the sky-high price but he still wouldn't give it to me, so I got the money back. You can take it."
Mei Niang put the money back in her hand. Although there was a lot left, Mei Niang had been running around for so long and knew the price of this kind of rouge gouache. If the boss knew Zhang Lingling, he could definitely lower the price.
Besides, this set of rouge and gouache is not expensive. With that much money, you can buy two sets of rouge and gouache.
Mei Niang knew in her heart but didn't say anything.
She put the rouge back into Zhang Lingling's hands: "Sister Zhang, you don't know something. A few of us were chased by our enemies and fled here. We usually stay naked. We basically don't need rouge or gouache. These are all
I gave it to Sister Zhang as a meeting gift from us."
When Zhang Lingling heard this and looked at the rouge and gouache she had received, she felt regretful in her heart. If she had known that this rouge and gouache was for her, she would have bought a good set. But who could not want it if it was given for free?
So she happily accepted it.
"Then thank you, sister." Zhang Lingling was overjoyed and received guests in Yihong Courtyard. Although they occasionally sent some gifts, they were basically worthless things.
It's either wild flowers on the roadside or jewelry that the store can't sell.
Although Mei Niang was talking to Zhang Linlin here as if nothing had happened, the others were also turning to her side as if nothing had happened.
"I wonder if there is anything special happening outside today?"
Mei Niang asked seemingly unintentionally.
Zhang Lingling happily stuffed the rouge and gouache into her pocket. When she heard her question, she thought about it carefully: "There is really something strange!"
Everyone in the room pricked up their ears to listen.
"I heard that several boats in the south were impounded. I don't know who those people offended. They were all killed after being imprisoned."
How could such a thing happen?
Mei Niang frowned: "But do you know whose ship it is?"
"Oh, I didn't know that."
Mei Niang waved her hand: "What is our identity? How can we know about those officials! I don't know, I don't know."
Mei Niang changed her tone again: "Forget it if I don't know, but Sister Zhang, do you know what is on that ship?"
"I heard it! I heard it's silk from the south. Our landlady is going to collect it. I don't know if she has found a way."
Zhang Lingling said uncomfortably: "If the landlady finds a way, I will have to go to her and ask for some pieces of cloth."
Cloth? It was detained!
Mei Niang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is no news now, it is good news.
"Then do you know what's happening lately?"
Zhang Lingling also knew that these people came from the capital. In order to please the young master from the East who was sitting there, Zhang Lingling thought about it.
"I haven't heard of any news. Maybe the new emperor is about to ascend the throne. It's quite lively inside now, and many businesses are heading to the capital."
This is for sure. Although Zhang De is violent, his strategies for governing the country are still very useful. If he succeeds to the throne, he will definitely be much stronger than the old emperor.
"I heard that Yashe held a temple fair recently, and a lot of people went there. Finally, I heard that there was almost a fight. We don't know what the specific situation was, but everyone who went there praised it. You can also do it then
Go and have a look.”
