Chapter 346: The Past (5)

The rumors that Taifu is afraid of his wife can no longer be regarded as rumors.

That's just the way it is.

The neighbors around saw it more than once or twice.

He was carried by his own wife to the courtyard and knelt with his ears, looking embarrassed.

However, Taifu still doesn't know that the neighbors have spread the news about this matter.

He thought he was hiding it well.

Every time he was punished by his wife for kneeling, he immediately packed up everything and made it seem to outsiders that he was still the majestic Taifu.

Tomorrow I have to go to the canal to repair the moth, and the Taifu thinks that he has to buy something for his daughter and wife to show his sincerity.

He has always disliked sitting in a sedan chair.

If he didn't go to the palace, he was completely reluctant to take a sedan chair.

Every time he sat in a sedan chair, he was like a monkey, surrounded by a group of people in the bustling market.

Fortunately, his wife is an idle job, and he is also honest on weekdays.

Otherwise, he would have been drowned by the common people with a mouthful of spit.

Therefore, once he does not go to the palace or a far away place, he will choose to wear plain clothes and walk to his destination.

The sedan chair man at home also raised his hands and feet for the good conduct of his master.

There is no official frame, and every time he gives a monthly routine on time, where can he find such a good master?

So, on this day, the Taifu changed into his civilian clothes, pulled a housekeeper and went out together.

He lives in the middle of the city, with a big bazaar in front of it.

On weekdays, there are many people and people's voices, and they rarely have a clean time.

Although he also thought about changing his house more than once, he thought that it was close to the palace here, and it would not take long for him to take a sedan chair, and he could snooze in the early morning of winter, and he would go to the morning again and he was a little unbearable.

But the biggest reason is also because all the financial power of his family is with his wife, and it is difficult for him to succeed in buying a mansion with such a large amount of money.

Along the way, few people could recognize him.

Those who recognized it and wanted to salute him, he also made gestures one by one to tell them not to make a noise.

In this noisy bazaar, everyone is the same person who buys things, where does it come from?

He stopped and looked, looking at this house, looking at that house, and for a moment he almost forgot the purpose of his trip.

"Master, this is ......... today"

The housekeeper was also confused when he pulled him out, and he couldn't think of what his master was going to do in this bazaar on a whim.

"Today is ........."

He had been wandering around for so long that he had almost forgotten his purpose.

"Master, this vegetable is very fresh, it was just picked by the old farmer not long ago, why don't you buy some and try it?"

He was standing in front of a vegetable seller, and the old man saw that he had been staring at his own vegetables, and thought that he had come to buy vegetables.

"No...... Forget it, Ah Cai, weigh some and try it. ”

His refusal was looked back by the old peasant's pleading eyes.

This year, due to the severe drought, the harvest in the fields is very bad.

The ministers of the two factions of the imperial court have quarreled many times because of this matter, but there has been no good result.

The emperor was so fond of war that the treasury had long been empty, so where could he allocate spare money to the peasants.

So this year became what the farmers called a famine year.

The vegetable seller's food looks very fresh, and he must have tried his best for this field.

"Master, how much is this to weigh?"

"Buy them all. ”

He looked at the few vegetables in the vegetable seller's load, and he had better go home early after he finished selling.

"Hey, okay. ”

With a wave of his hand, the housekeeper took away all the vegetables from the vegetable seller's two loads.

"Now, old man, this is for you, don't look for it. ”

The steward shoved a silver ingot into the old peasant's hand.

"Oops..... Thank you, thank you, sir..... Thank you, sir.......!"

The vegetable seller must have never seen this weight of silver in his life, and he looked unbelievable when he held it in his hand.

"Go home quickly, and wait until it gets dark........"

So, the vegetable seller left with a thousand thanks.

Ah Cai held a bunch of vegetables and looked at Taifu embarrassedly,

"Taifu, look at the ......... behind me"

The "neighbors" of the vegetable sellers all looked at Taifu with a pitiful look.

"It's not a ...... This ........"

On this day, Taifu and Ah Cai were very embarrassed.

One person's arms are full of vegetables and vegetables.

So much so that it was almost dark, and Taifu still couldn't buy what he wanted.

"So, sir. What are you going to buy today?"

yes, what is he going to buy........?

Ahead, a small vendor still has a lantern on.

"Oh, Ah Cai. I remembered, what ....... I want to buy!"

"Sir, butler. You guys........ We're going to be eating for a few days......."

The cooks were dumbfounded when they looked at the piles of vegetables in the kitchen.

When he came back, he saw such a scene, and the cook was startled.

I thought the person who purchased today was in the wrong mind.

"I've been getting a little hot lately, and eating more of these is good for getting hot. In the next few days, Madame and I will eat this, and you will eat it too, and it will be solved soon. ”

Taifu patted his dirt-stained hand and patted the cook on the shoulder with a smile.

"You've always been a very good cook, and I'm sure you can cook these into delicious dishes that won't be disliked by your lady........"

His eyes were so hot that the cook could scarcely dare to look him in the eye.

"I ..... I will.... Strive to ......."

Taifu came to the bedroom with a worried heart.

He is leaving tomorrow, and his mother and wife are still sleeping, and he will personally call them for dinner.

"Madame, Li'er, it's time for us to eat........"

"Shh

Mrs. Taifu sat on the edge of the bed, guarding Li'er who was asleep.

"Good ......."

Taifu tiptoed to the bed.

Li'er's little face was flushed, and she slept soundly.

"Madame, I bought ........"

"It's okay, go out quickly, look at you, your clothes are covered in mud. I don't even know where to go...... Hurry up and pack up your ........"

"No..... No fooling around..... I just bought you a ........."

"Okay, okay, no matter if you're fooling around or not, give me a change of clean clothes and come back, I don't have a Taifu look........"

"But I ......."

"Let's go!"

Mrs. Taifu got up and pushed Taifu out of the bedroom.

"I'll use it later, I've been sleepy lately, you can go take a shower first, and we'll eat later." ”

"Okay........"

Taifu stood at the door of the bedroom, a little pitiful.

He saw that his wife's heart was completely on her daughter, and she didn't care about him at all.

He was a little sad.

How long has it been since I've spoken well to my wife?

"You're going to the border tomorrow, aren't you?"

The bedroom door suddenly opened.

Mrs. Taifu leaned out half of her body from inside.

"yes, so I bought you ......... back"

"Be safe outside....... And don't do anything to disgrace me......!"

She hurriedly finished her explanation and quickly closed the door.

After the "bang", Taifu felt that his heart was cold.

He stood in the doorway, slowly lowering his raised hand.

Just now, he didn't even finish his words.......
