Chapter 464: Exchange of Tokens
The door to the yard was half-open. It was the time when everyone was cooking, so no one noticed what was happening at the Tao family.
Under the mulberry tree, Tao Bushe and Zhai Jingyu sat face to face, each with a glass of water in front of them. On the small table were a bowl of mulberries and a bowl of fried fruits.
Zhai Jingyu knew that Tao Busha was well-educated, so in order to get close to him, she asked him about poetry and books. The two of them ate snacks while discussing academic matters, and they had a very pleasant conversation.
Suddenly, Tao Bushe raised his head and looked at Zhai Jingyu, silently watching.
Zhai Jingyu was stunned for a moment, but became complacent the next second. Tao Bushe must have been moved by her words just now, as he was staring at her in a trance!
In the past, Zhai Jingyu had the contrast of Zhai Jingxuan, and she always boasted of her talent and unparalleled beauty. It was normal for a little boy like Tao Bushe to fall in love with her.
Although he is unworthy, he is still useful now.
Zhai Jingyu smiled at Tao Bushe, showing her teeth that were stained black after eating mulberries and her lips that looked like they were poisoned, and said coquettishly, "Master Tao, do you have anything to say to Jingyu?"
The wrinkles between Tao Bushe's brows deepened.
Why is he frowning?
That expression still looks bitter and resentful...
Zhai Jingyu was puzzled, and then Tao Bushe stood up and said, "It's getting late, the second young lady should go home."
Zhai Jingyu suddenly realized that it was getting dark and she had to go back for dinner. More importantly, she had to feed Shangguan Qingyue's dog!
After a few pleasantries, Zhai Jingyu took Cui'er and left the Tao family. As soon as they stepped out of the door, there was a loud slam of the door behind them, as if in a fit of anger. Zhai Jingyu couldn't help but look back, and then said to Cui'er, "Did I offend Tao Bushe just now?"
Cui Er recalled carefully, "No, Second Miss."
"Then why is he angry with me?" Zhai Jingyu said with disgust.
She hadn't even started to dislike Tao Bushe yet, but he got angry for no reason.
Cui Er said, "Miss, you must have seen it wrong. I think Master Tao really appreciates your talent. Just now when you were discussing poetry and essays with Master Tao, he was secretly looking at you!"
"When he saw me looking at him, he immediately lowered his head out of shyness!"
"Really?"
"real!"
Zhai Jingyu was in high spirits when she heard that. This trip was not in vain. She said that with her charm, it would be more than enough for her to hook up with Tao Bushe!
"Okay, time to go back and feed those greedy dogs!"
When she thought of those dogs, Zhai Jingyu's face drooped instantly. She really regretted it. She really regretted it. If there was a regret pill in the world, she would definitely buy a few kilograms of it!
In the following days, Zhai Jingyu went to see Tao Bushe from time to time, step by step, and flirted with her, until that day, she pretended to lose her balance and fell into Tao Bushe's arms, holding her warm and soft body. Tao Bushe had never experienced this before. His face turned slightly red, his breathing became rapid, and he spoke haltingly. He lowered his head for a long time, not daring to look at her again.
Zhai Jingyu knew that it was going to be accomplished.
Zhai Jingyu went back and told Madam Zhai. Madam Zhai pondered for a while and felt that it should be more thorough and it would be better to have a token of trust, so that after being caught cheating, Zhai Jingxuan would have no power to fight back.
When Zhai Jingyu heard this, she quickly said, "I saw a jade pendant hanging around Tao Bushe's waist. If I get it and secretly put it in Zhai Jingxuan's room, it will just confirm the affair!"
"That's right!"
"But..." Zhai Jingyu said gloomily, "That miser Tao Bushe would not give me the jade pendant even if he was interested in me."
"That's easy, isn't it?" Madam Zhai said firmly, "You can trade something with him!"
Madam Zhai sneered, "We really won't take advantage of him, so as to avoid any trouble. So, you go to the Gold Building and buy a gold bracelet and exchange it with him. A poor guy like him will definitely be unable to walk when he sees the shining gold."
"But I..." Zhai Jingyu's face became uglier. Buy a gold bracelet? How could she afford to buy a gold bracelet now?
Just those few dogs made her bankrupt.
If the little mute doesn't leave, she will be pawned!
Zhai Jingyu thought for a moment and said, "Mom, Tao Bushe's jade pendant is of good quality. If you want to buy a bracelet of comparable value, I don't have the money."
Mrs. Zhai did not hesitate to ask directly, "How much silver will I give you?"
Zhai Jingyu's heart skipped a beat and she said, "One... one hundred taels!"
Madam Zhai frowned, "Will the Tao family still be willing to let Tao Bushe wear such a precious jade?"
Zhai Jingyu lowered her head and said nothing. Madam Zhai had no choice but to ask someone to bring one hundred taels of silver, which was four large ingots!
Zhai Jingyu took it and was secretly happy, "Thank you, mother."
Then he hurriedly left with the silver in his pocket.
Mrs. Zhai sat down and drank some tea.
roof.
Shangguan Chengjing hugged Shangguan Qingyue and listened to the whole conversation between the two. Shangguan Chengjing couldn't help but curse, "How shameless!"
"Too vicious!"
The little guy crossed his arms, "Do you believe it now?"
[I won't lie! ]
[I said that the Zhai family plotted against Big Brother and wanted to humiliate Big Brother's innocence. Although Big Brother is not afraid, Big Brother's body belongs to Sister Zhai! If I hadn't predicted the disaster between Sister Zhai and the adulterer, I would have loved you and lived a hard life with you here! ]
[Big brother still doesn't believe me, huh! So annoying! ]
Shangguan Chengjing's face was gloomy, as if he had swallowed a fly.
Having learned from the previous experience, he tied Shangguan Qingyue tightly in front of him with a cloth strip this time. He carried his little sister away from the roof and returned to the bedroom.
As he untied the strips of cloth, he cursed,
"I never thought people could be so vicious! Father Zhai doesn't care? She's his own daughter!"
"Zhai Jingyu is also his biological daughter!"
"A heartless and ungrateful man like him who relies on women to get to the top, once he gains power, Sister Zhai and her mother will be thorns in his eyes. They have witnessed his downfall and shamelessness, so they must be eradicated!"
Shangguan Chengjing sneered, "Do they think I'm so stupid? Without Zhai Jingxuan, I'd want that vicious woman Zhai Jingyu? Don't even think about it!"
Shangguan Qingyue tiptoed onto the chair, then lifted up her shirt and looked at the marks on her fair and tender belly. While Shangguan Chengjing was not paying attention, he took out the piece of paper and made a scratch on it.
Then he hid himself, picked up the glass jar on the table, put his little hand into the jar, took out a handful of candied fruit, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and said nothing.
A dark light suddenly flashed across Shangguan Chengjing's eyes.
"Since they can't bear it, don't blame me for being unjust."
"What are you going to do?" asked the little guy.
Shangguan Chengjing snorted, "I want to prove to you that I am the god of house fighting! I'll take you to see the show then!"
Shangguan Qingyue nodded slowly and rolled his eyes.
[Big brother invited me to watch a good show? He must become the good show...]
Early the next morning, Zhai Jingyu went to Jinlou to buy a bracelet, a jade made by Tao Busha. She looked at the quality and estimated it was worth about fifty taels. She put down three ingots of silver and took twenty-five taels.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this style?"
"Miss, this is twenty-five taels. If you want it, I can give you fifty cents off."
Zhai Jingyu nodded and whispered, "Just make me two gilded ones in this style, and they should look exactly like this one, okay?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course you can. Just wait and see the skills of our Master Jinlou!"
Zhai Jingyu gave the shopkeeper a silver ingot, and the shopkeeper gave her fifty cents in change.
"Then I'll have someone pick it up tomorrow!"
"it is good!"
