Chapter 41: The Feast of the Hung Gate

Ling Xiu'er smiled: "How could Yunlang be here." Xiu'er was born good-looking and small, and now this gentle smile made Zhang Ze's eyes a little shaken.

"It's just that I just happened to come out to buy some things, Mrs. Cao, the last time you showed my mother, my mother liked it very much, and it was also my unfilial piety as a son, I haven't seen Mrs. Zhang like something so much, and I'm so happy on my birthday." Zhang Ze praised Ling Xiu'er more and more.

She treats her husband wholeheartedly, has a good embroiderer, and has such a gentle temperament, she is really a good wife, but it is a pity to marry **.

sighed in his heart, afraid that Ling Xiu'er would be uncomfortable, so he was busy gathering his mind.

"Where is it, Lord Zhang has helped my father-in-law and his family a lot, if there is no Lord Zhang, our Cao family really doesn't know what to become, the Buddhist scriptures are just some of my thoughts to Mrs. Zhang and not worth a few silver." Xiu'er saw that Zhang Ze was so satisfied with Mrs. Zhang's congratulatory gift this time, and she was also happy in her heart, after all, this is related to the future of her father-in-law.

"There is a rouge gouache shop in front, Mrs. has helped me so much, I really don't know how to repay Mrs., it is better for Mrs. to pick a few gadgets and make me a gift in return." Zhang Ze didn't know what the woman liked, but it should probably be some fat powder hairpin rings.

"No, no. My father-in-law bought some with me before, not to mention, the Buddhist scriptures are my heart to Mrs. Zhang, if you return the gift, isn't this returning my heart to Mrs. Zhang. The woman tactfully excused herself.

Seeing Xiu'er shirking, Zhang Ze replied: "What's this, a gift is a gift, a heart is a heart, you have a heart for Mrs. Zhang, is it possible that my Zhang family is not allowed to have a heart for the Cao family." ”

"If Master Zhang insists on returning the gift, then buy some paper and pens for my husband, after all, the exam is approaching." Since it is the Zhang family's heart for the Cao family, it is naturally to be put on the men in the family.

"That's very good." Zhang Ze saw that Ling Xiu'er was so considerate of Cao Yu, and he was even more envious in his heart, what kind of blessing did Cao Yu have to cultivate to marry such a woman.

It happened to be not far away from the pen and ink shop, and Zhang Ze invited Ling Xiu'er to go with him to choose the pen and paper for Cao Yu's exam.

The boss of Bimo Zhai saw a pair of handsome men and beautiful women coming in, and thought it was a young couple from a rich family, so he rushed forward to serve.

Zhang Ze raised his hand and asked, "Mrs. Cao, please." ”

"Master Zhang laughed, I'm a rough woman in the countryside, how do I know the quality of paper and pen." Ling Xiu'er slowly raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled.

Although she is a country woman and dressed plainly, Ling Xiuer does have the bearing of a lady in the capital, which is really surprising and rare in this small county.

The beauty covered her mouth and chuckled, always feeling that something was missing. Zhang Ze pondered: "Mrs. Cao, I always feel that you are missing something. ”

"Ah, what?" Ling Xiu'er was puzzled.

"Well......" Zhang Ze looked around, and happened to see a row of fans behind Ling Xiu'er: "Yes, Mrs. lacks a fan." ”

"Madame, see which one you like?" Zhang Ze had already picked up Ling Xiu'er on his own.

"No need, no need, we country women, don't need this." Ling Xiu'er hurriedly spoke up.

Zhang Ze put his folding fan on his waist and said goodbye, so he came to ask Ling Xiu'er to pick it, but Ling Xiu'er couldn't help it, so he had to let him.

"Just this orchid fan, sister-in-law Huizhi Lanxin, orchids with beauties are the best, those beauty fans are a little vulgar, and beauties naturally only need one." Zhang Ze handed the orchid fan to Ling Xiu'er to see.

Ling Xiu'er's eyes were tracing this face, but at this time, there was a noisy sound at the door.

"Ouch, Brother Ze~" It turned out to be Fan Meihua, which was really unfortunate.

"Brother Ze~ What a coincidence." Fan Meihua leaned over to Zhang Ze and asked about the gouache smell that choked his nose, and Zhang Ze frowned.

"It turned out to be Miss Fan." You can't pretend not to see it, Zhang Ze had no choice but to say hello, "Miss Fan, our previous relationship should not be close enough to call me brother." ”

Hearing that Zhang Ze let herself change her words, Fan Meihua was very unhappy, and saw Ling Xiu'er and Zhang Ze together, and put the responsibility on Ling Xiu'er, this Ling Xiu'er has a husband and wife, and she is still seducing Chinese characters here, I really don't know how to be ashamed.

Secretly glared at Ling Xiu'er, and then said to Zhang Ze with an exaggerated smile: "Lord Zhang, come and see the fan, oops, this fan is so beautiful." She pointed to the fan in Xiu'er's hand.

"Master Zhang, you bought it for the slave family, I think this one is very good." I don't know who gave her the courage, she actually leaned on Zhang Ze like a boneless chicken, tugging at his sleeve and being coquettish.

Zhang Ze had a chill, this woman, how can she be shameless at all, the unmarried girl actually hung on the man, and the smell of fat powder on Fan Meihua's body made him a little disgusted.

He hurriedly walked to the side, opened the folding fan, and fanned it a few times.

"That's what Mrs. Cao values first." Zhang Ze said unhappily.

Fan Meihua raised her head and squinted at Ling Xiu'er: "Really?" ”

Ling Xiu'er didn't want to cause trouble, knowing that Fan Meihua had always disliked her, and she didn't bother herself, she just didn't like this fan very much.

"Since Miss Fan likes it, then Miss Fan will take it." Hand the fan to Fan Meihua.

Seeing Ling Xiu'er's fake and righteous appearance, Fan Meihuajiu hated her teeth itching.

She took the fan and thanked her: "Then thank you Mrs. Cao." ”

"You're welcome." Ling Xiu'er raised her head and looked at Fan Meihua, but saw that Fan Meihua seemed to be smiling, and suddenly, before Ling Xiu'er could react, Fan Meihua fell to the ground with a fan: "Ouch, poisonous woman, she actually tripped me and deliberately made me ugly in front of Lord Zhang, come and see, this woman with a snake heart, my legs, my legs." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, it's obvious that you fell down yourself." Ling Xiu'er understood that Fan Meihua wanted her to be accused of being a poisonous woman.

"Where am I talking nonsense, it's clearly you, you tried your best to make me ugly, so that I have no face in front of Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang, you have to make decisions for me." Fan Meihua dragged her slightly bloated body to hug Zhang Ze's thigh.

Zhang Ze witnessed everything, regardless of Fan Meihua's crying, he didn't let Fan Meihua get close at all: "The Fan family is really a good tutor, and they have raised such a daughter." ”

Seeing that Zhang Ze didn't help herself, Fan Meihua was bored with herself, got up from the ground with her hands and feet quickly, threw the fan to Ling Xiu'er, and left with a cold snort.

Good family life, the boss of the small business is heartbroken, and he is not a person who is easy to provoke.

Ling Xiu'er was not in the mood to go shopping anymore at this time, and went back after saying goodbye to Zhang Ze hastily.

Over there, Huang County Ling was testing Cao Yu.

"I heard that the last county examinee had an accident because someone secretly bought murder, did Cao Gongzi be attacked when he was rushing to take the exam?" Huang Xianling secretly observed Cao Yu's actions.

When Cao Yu heard this, he pursed his lips and didn't answer, poured himself a glass of wine and tasted it carefully.

"This is some of the officials' intentions, Cao Gongzi will take it back and subsidize the family casually." Huang Xianling couldn't figure out what Cao Yu meant, so he had to take out a stack of silver tickets to lure him.

Seeing this, Cao Yu secretly sneered and replied: "There is still something at home, after drinking these three glasses of wine, it is time to leave, Xie Huang County will entertain you." ”

With that, he left in style.

Looking at Cao Yu drinking the rest of the wine, Huang Xianling thought about Cao Yu's soft and hard not to eat, hmph, so he had to let him not exist in the world.

The grim smile raised on Huang Xianling's oily yellow face, like a vicious weasel.
