Chapter 80: The Ugly Daughter-in-law Meets Her In-laws
When Wu Zheng sent He Lao Wu away, they returned to Yuzhou City with the seven thousand taels of silver and Song Fei'er, the sky had already begun to darken, and there was no way that the winter sky was so dark and early, so in this night, the two saw the direction of the north of the city full of fire.
Zhao Yi, who was already frenzied, not only ordered Tian Bangzhou's house, but also killed his wife and children, and ate enough to eat and drink in front of the corpses all over the ground, and then led a headbrush from the stable out of Yuzhou City from the north gate under the light of the fire.
This fire not only burned the Tian family, but also the Thorn Mansion next door was also unlucky, if it wasn't for the water dragon team to come in time, I'm afraid the entire Thorn Mansion would also be burned by this fire.
Huang Ji, who ran out with the support of the guards, stood on the street with a disgraced face and said that the first thing he said was that the whole city was locked, and if he couldn't catch the arsonist back with a thousand knives, he would not be surnamed Huang.
As a result, the entire inner city was bustling with chickens and dogs, and the splashy who was originally mixed in the inner city became the first batch of unlucky ghosts for this order.
The upper peak wants to catch the arsonist, and the lower ones have to do enough to catch even if they can't catch people, and only God knows where the real arson thief is.
Soon the riots in the inner city spread to the outer city, watching groups of people hunting and whipping people and kicking stalls on the streets like soldiers and bandits, and ordinary people scurrying with their heads, Wu Zheng said to Seinfeld: "Don't go back to the inn tonight, come home with me!" ”
"Home?"
"Yes, our house is in Willow Branch, turn this corner and you will find that you have forgotten what you have been."
"But I ......"
"Ugly daughters-in-law always want to see their in-laws, don't they?"
"Ugly daughter-in-law? Am I ugly? ”
Wu Zheng smiled: "It's not ugly, so there's nothing to worry about!" Grandma and aunt are very good people, and besides, we are all good people now, what are you afraid of? ”
"Then I'll go and call Xiang'er too."
"Xiang'er? You don't need to be so nervous, didn't you forget that Xiang'er had already gone back to the mountain with Brother He and them just now? ”
Seinfeld was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wu Zheng and said, "It turns out that you have premeditated." ”
Wu Zheng smiled noncommittally, and led Seinfeld to Willow Alley without saying anything.
Before I got to the house, I saw my aunt standing in front of the gate and kept looking at both ends of the alley, now the whole outer city is in chaos, everyone is running home in a hurry, and the only people who can still be in the mood to walk slowly on the road are Seinfeld and Wu Zheng.
It's not that Wu Zheng is not afraid of trouble, along the way, he has also encountered several waves of catching fast and following soldiers, some of them saw that Seinfeld was looking for trouble, and some of them were unhappy when they saw everyone running and you were wandering slowly on the street alone and wanted to catch Wu Zheng as a substitute for the dead ghost.
As a result, Wu Zheng lit up the Xuanjie Lieutenant token he had just gotten, and these people were all honest.
Although this Xuanjie Lieutenant is a military officer with no real power, he is also an official! With this thing, you can not only eat public food, but also wear silk, wear boots, live in a post station for free, and fight lawsuits with ordinary people, no matter whether you are justified or unreasonable, the other party has to suffer thirty boards first.
Of course, these are not the most important, Wu Zheng values most that he does not have to pay taxes with this status, whether it is doing business or farming, the obligation to pay taxes from now on is to say goodbye to himself, such a privilege is simply a loss of conscience for Wu Zheng!
Because of such a privilege, when Wu Zheng knew that his secret recipe for making salt could be sold at a better price, the first thing he wanted in his mind was to become an official, and as for selling the secret recipe to two people at the same time, it was really not because Wu Zheng was greedy, but he just didn't want to offend people.
Just like Wu Zheng said before, both families want it, and neither of them can be offended by a little person like himself, so he can only sell both of them, although he may make both parties unhappy at the time, but at least he will not hold a grudge against himself in the future.
Take this Xuanjie Lieutenant's farewell as an example, Qin Xiang only took two hours to send it to himself, and along with Huang Ji's release book, so that both of them only used some trivial things to exchange for their own secret recipes, and they couldn't find themselves if they wanted to hold a grudge!
Of course, doing so also discounted his benefits, and the six-rank loose official who could have been in his hands suddenly became an eight-grade, which seems to be a big loss, but it has never been Wu Zheng's life creed to become a fat man in one bite, and he wears a hat as big as he has a big head, otherwise it will be easy to flash to his neck.
Moreover, whether it is the sixth grade or the eighth grade, for Wu Zheng, it is just a little less Fenglu, and he seems to be a person who can make a fortune by relying on Fenglu?
In the chaotic alley, the aunt ran over when she saw Wu Zheng for the first time, grabbed Wu Zheng and ran home, and said: "Hurry up and go home with your aunt, it's so messy outside and you're still wandering outside, when can you let your aunt save some snacks!" ”
Aunt Seinfeld next to her didn't seem to see it, but now it's like a robber breaking the city in such a mess outside, where does the aunt have the heart to see anything else after seeing Wu Zheng.
Seeing that Seinfeld was a little cramped and embarrassed, Wu Zheng had no choice but to hold his aunt and say, "Auntie, don't worry, my nephew hasn't introduced you yet!" ”
"I'll talk about it when I get home."
"Then what's the matter, she's my wife, your niece and daughter-in-law."
"Niece and daughter-in-law?"
The aunt was stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly thought of something, and when she looked back, she finally saw Seinfeld beside Wu Zheng this time.
"Fei'er has seen Auntie." Seinfeld gave her aunt a curtsy bow with a shy face.
At this moment, Seinfeld's appearance seemed to suddenly subvert the image of the thief in her aunt's heart, and she was stunned on the spot, but she was soon awakened by the noisy voices around her, and said, "Now that it's chaotic outside, let's go home first!" ”
In this way, Seinfeld followed Wu Zheng into the gate of the Wu family in this chaotic dusk, dragged by his aunt.
The Wu family is a seven-shaped brick house, with three rooms in the main house and two in the wing, and the living room in the middle.
If you want to say that this is the living room, in fact, it is the same size as the bedrooms on both sides, and if you put a table and a shrine, this is the living room, and if you put a bed, then this is the bedroom.
With a table, a brazier and three small stools, this small living room is a little cramped, and now with the grandmother sitting under the shrine and the aunt standing next to the grandmother, Wu Zheng and Seinfeld can only stand at the door through the brazier in the middle.
Wu Zheng didn't know what other people's ugly daughter-in-law looked like when she saw her in-laws for the first time, but when she led her daughter-in-law home to see her grandmother for the first time, the atmosphere was very depressing, like a rain coming in summer.
Seinfeld, who usually can afford to carry a big knife and fly the eaves and walk on the wall like walking on the flat river, is like a child who has done something wrong at this time, standing there timidly and not even having the courage to sneak a peek at his grandmother.
Grandma and Aunt didn't talk and looked Seinfeld up and down like this, Wu Zheng felt that it was not a problem to keep going on like this! So he secretly stuffed Huang Ji's release book into Seinfel's hand from behind.
This trick seemed to be quite effective, and Seinfeld, who had the paperwork in his hand, stood up all at once as if he had returned to his soul.
"Grandma Fei'er is now good, not a thief, don't have a surname, you see the officially certified Fei'er is also a good person now......"
