It’s not like he’s made of gold, losing an ounce with each sighting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang said with a smile, \"Alright, just wait a bit longer. This place is neither Beijing nor Deming Pavilion, where you can come and go as you please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two probably waited for about ten minutes or so, and the old butler came running, gasping for breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, please come in, esteemed guests! Come in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as their feet crossed the threshold, Du Jiaojiao ran over from the other side, \"Ah! Yangyang, Duoduo, you’re here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She excitedly hugged Ni Yang and Zhao Yu, \"When did you guys get here? Why didn’t you tell me in advance? Don’t you consider me a friend anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang replied, \"We arrived in Shanghai yesterday. We didn’t want to trouble you all, so we didn’t say anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughing, Du Jiaojiao said, \"What’s so troubling about that! By the way, where are you staying tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang continued, \"We’re staying at an Inn on Nallan East Road. It’s very quiet and convenient from here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh,\" Du Jiaojiao nodded, \"Come on, I’ll take you inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked, Du Jiaojiao introduced Ni Yang and Zhao Yu to the interior layout of the Du mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Du mansion was huge, and each pavilion and tower seemed as if crafted by the hands of artists, a craft that could only be achieved by the old generation of artisans, unlike in later times when machinery replaced handcraft, such skills had long been lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servants of the Du family were also very polite, nodding and greeting Du Jiaojiao as they passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they had left, someone curiously asked, \"Who are those two young ladies who just arrived? Does anyone know them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one in the cheongsam is so pretty!

For Zhou Zixian to stand out from among all of them, she definitely had something special about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just her pair of fox-like eyes filled with affection were almost irresistible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To secure her, Master Du himself had paid a considerable price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Second Madam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you all talking about?\" Zhou Zixian squinted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing at all! You must have heard wrong, Second Madam,\" the crowd laughed it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zixian continued, \"If you tell me the truth, I’ll raise each of your salaries by five yuan this month!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five yuan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five yuan can buy two jin (1kg) of pork!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them asked, \"Second Madam, are you in charge of the finances?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zixian took a wallet from her assistant, \"What if I give you a lump sum right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone cheered and quickly told Zhou Zixian everything they had just witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Zixian replied disdainfully, \"Pretty? How pretty can she be? Prettier than a fairy from heaven?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen many beautiful women, but she had never seen anyone more beautiful than herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just a kind of beauty beyond words!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" continued Zhou Zixian, \"do you know where they went?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They went toward the Main Hall with Miss Jiaojiao,\" a servant pointed in a direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zixian immediately headed that way. She refused to believe it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That there was anyone more beautiful than her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zixian quickly arrived at the Main Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Du Jiaojiao was chatting with a young lady, with the sound of laughter occasionally emanating from the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zixian stood by the door, scrutinizing the person inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were sitting down, Zhou Zixian couldn’t see her height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was passable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not as exaggerated as they had described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terms like \"fish sinking and geese alighting,\" \"flowers shamed,\" were not even close to being applicable to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girls of such appearance were a dime a dozen in Sichuan City; at best, they could be considered somewhat attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>",809,"2026-06-05T19:00:30.386Z",1,"novelbin.me","1562c72954f2531dc55de3aa3ec058cb3a84c291434bf70c27e24848027b3b22","rebirth-of-a-village-girl-chapter-1172","rebirth-of-a-village-girl-chapter-1170",1410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-of-a-village-girl-cover.jpg"]
