CHAPTER XX

Although Zhang Manchu accosted the shopkeeper Qin, his eyes did not ignore his daughter-in-law's expression. He was worried that his daughter-in-law would be uncomfortable when she saw someone, but he didn't expect her to be alive for a bag of tea. Although I felt a little strange in my heart, I kept it in my heart in the end, thinking that if I went to the county to work again, I must bring some really good tea back to my daughter-in-law.

Lin Baozhu wanted it in his heart, but he also knew that the shopkeeper Qin would not be courteous for no reason, and the reason why he would give her tea was just for the sake of Zhang Man's face. So she didn't respond, but set her eyes on Zhang Manchu.

Now that she has become her wife, no matter whether the relationship with him is a business partnership or a true affection, at least he can't be held back in the world. If it would hinder him, no matter what kind of object it was, she would not be rare, after all, she would always be able to earn her own tea to enjoy with her hands and feet.

Seeing Lin Baozhu's gaze, Zhang Manchu understood what she meant almost instantly, and inadvertently only felt a warmth in his heart. Looking at those bright and clean eyes, he could even feel that his heart was about to burst. For a moment, he felt that as long as his daughter-in-law could be so fresh every day, he would be willing to give anything.

What's more, the daughter-in-law didn't ask for anything, and now that she has a rare object, she can't be disappointed.

"Then thank you Shopkeeper Qin for your kindness."

As soon as Zhang Manchu's words fell, it happened that the account room took the silver, and the silver and goods were gone, and the two of them couldn't stay any longer, so they immediately said goodbye and left.

And the shopkeeper Qin was even more polite to send people out of the tavern all the way. This time it was not all for the sake of Zhang Manchu's face, but for the appearance of Lin Baozhu's seemingly inconspicuous woman just now receiving tea and drinking tea, although the woman did not say much, she acted in a very measured manner, not like an ordinary ignorant woman.

For such people, if they are either deeply hidden, they have been taught by superiors. So no matter how reasonable it is, he doesn't want to leave a bad impression on people for being top-notch. You know, for example, the famous Beiquan Brew was made by a peasant woman, and when the master took him to taste the wine, he was not a shopkeeper but an apprentice. Because of the relationship between the North Spring Brew, the master not only became one of the top squires in the county, but also donated a foreigner.

He doesn't ask for such good luck, but he also wants to keep a favor, if there is a benefit in the future, he will be happy, and if there is no benefit, he will also let Zhang Manchu think of himself in the future.

Not to mention, people who do business have a lot of thoughts, but just a bag of tea can have so much thought.

With the money on his body, Zhang Manchu took his daughter-in-law around and walked around. He is a person who doesn't care about expenses, so when he saw a stall selling jewelry, he simply strode away with his daughter-in-law.

The stall owner was busy shouting, and when he saw the customer, he was naturally happy, and he said good words in a stack. I don't forget the few hairpins that are not expensive but very fine, Zhang Manchu doesn't quite understand those bells and whistles, but I heard that women love to dress up, so I naturally asked my daughter-in-law to choose them.

"I'm not used to wearing these, but it's time to change the wooden comb at home, so let's bring one." Lin Baozhu looked at the things on the stall, most of them were wooden hairpins and the like, and the better ones were silver hairpins. But as soon as she thought of her own situation, as well as the three taels of silver money that she had just exchanged, she felt a little painful to buy these useless items.

Now she has no skills to subsidize the family, Zhang Manchu is injured, and it must be not easy to make money in this world, otherwise Zhang Manchu can live so poor with his skills?

also complained that Zhang Manchu didn't tell her in detail, he was alone in the past because he didn't care, so he didn't bring anything out when he left the old mansion. plus there are some hidden secrets that he doesn't want to say, so he hasn't saved up money. And now that he has a wife, he naturally can't treat money as nothing as he did in the past.

Zhang Manchu looked at his daughter-in-law carefully selecting wooden combs, and saw that many women who came over were rare to those silver hairpins, so he simply took a hollow pomegranate flower hairpin and bought it together when he paid.

He didn't say anything clever and didn't say anything sweet, let alone say some sweet and crooked words to make people happy, but his eyes flashed and handed the cloth bag wrapped in a hairpin to his daughter-in-law, and then said: "I didn't buy you anything when I got married, this is a marriage gift." ”

It's obviously a good thing, but because of his tightly wrinkled thick eyebrows, it makes it a little serious, but even if there is an awkward look on his face, his eyes look at Lin Baozhu stubbornly and firmly. In all fairness, he couldn't tell what was good about his daughter-in-law, but he felt that there was someone by his side who could shed tears for himself, and it was something he felt down-to-earth when he thought about it.

Lin Baozhu tilted his head, as if he didn't expect this man to have this thought, and he didn't want to look up and see him holding the hairpin seriously with a tiger face. In addition, the stall owner on the side congratulated him vigorously, and said that the pomegranate flower means more children and more blessings, but it made her feel ashamed, and her face couldn't help but turn red.

"There are so many people in the court, and you don't know where to converge." Lin Baozhu glared at the man who was habitually cold-faced, and then reached out and took the hairpin. It's not that she doesn't understand romance, it's just that there are so many people around her, if she really wants him to wear it for herself, what will happen to him, even Lin Baozhu himself has to be ashamed.

Looking at the empty big hands in a daze, Zhang Manchu felt some indescribable frustration in his heart, and the expression on his face couldn't help but become more indifferent. The frowning eyebrows seemed to reveal some doubts in his heart.

Speaking of which, he has very few things about men and women, and at most he listens to his brothers bragging. And then there is the dog-headed military advisor of the sixth son helping the staff officer, saying that it is a staff officer, but in fact, he is just saying a few words to Zhang Manchu according to the talented and beautiful women in the book. In fact, where did the sixth son think that his black-faced boss would really please a woman one day. If he knew, maybe he would teach the boss to directly overlord the bow and take out the posture of fighting with other mountains at the beginning.

Anyway, Zhang Manchu's wish to follow the Liuzi teaching according to the book and buy a pearl hairpin to bring it to his daughter-in-law was in vain. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but groan at Pringles, and endured the awkwardness and thought that he would go to Liuzi again in a few days to ask.

Lin Baozhu didn't know Zhang Manchu's thoughts, and he didn't know that the man who seemed to be rude and had no mood would be entangled in such a matter. And what she didn't know was that at this time, there was a tearful woman in front of a stall not far away, and she couldn't stop looking at this side, especially when she saw Zhang Manho, she was even more sad and sad.

Zhang Manchu, who had a keen sense like a beast, noticed someone's gaze, and turned his head sharply only to see the empty noodle stall, and looked around and didn't find anything wrong. If it were others, they might think that people coming and going might have an illusion, but Zhang Manchu is different, he relied on his agility to escape death not once or twice. Suddenly, the cowardice that had just been generated dissipated a lot, and even the faint flush on his face cooled again.

Lin Baozhu saw his appearance, and looked around a few times, but didn't see anything wrong, so he looked at the black-faced man in confusion and asked what was wrong.

Because of such an accident, Zhang Manchu's mind was no longer on lounging, and he wondered if it was Zhang Erbao who he arranged, what went wrong? But even if there is a mistake, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's Zhang Erbao or his fox friends and dog friends, as long as he dares to face himself, he will be called back.

Thinking like this, his eyes fell on the daughter-in-law who looked at the stall again. If that person dares to beat his daughter-in-law again, let him taste the taste of repentance.

Speaking of Zhang Erbaolai, where can he still take care of the trouble of finding Lin Baozhu now. He is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he can't protect himself.

No, I just got into Widow Du's house in Shilibao, and before I had time to get the sweetness, I was blocked in the house by an aunt who came to visit Widow Du. The aunt was also a big mouth, so she immediately shouted loudly, and even called back the mother-in-law of the Du family who had just gone to the field to bring food to her old man.

Now the two of them are not being surrounded on the kang nakedly, and even an honest and good-natured person like the Du family's mother-in-law is angry at this time, scolding the street and beating people. And Du Laohan even put down the guy's business, and pulled it up with a flat shoulder.

Although Shilipu has a mixed surname, it is a village in the end, and everyone looks up and doesn't look down, so they shouldn't let an outsider bully them. Look at it, that person hasn't come once or twice, otherwise how could he get into the house while the old couple of the Du family were not there? The widow of Nadu did not cry out.

With this consensus, which of the people around this time dare to say good things to Widow Du? If you can't keep your filial piety, it's okay to leave your in-laws' house early, or your in-laws' family looks down on you because you don't have a man. You eat at your mother-in-law's house, and your in-laws feel ashamed of you because of their son's early death, and they are close to you everywhere, eating and drinking, but everything is sent to you, and you don't even need to interfere in doing work on the ground, just ask you to keep a year of filial piety to the end. Who knows, waiting so carefully, or waiting for a white-eyed wolf.

At this time, the Li Zheng of Shilibao also came, and his face was also ugly, especially when he saw that there were people from other villages who came to visit the relatives, and he tore the hearts of Widow Du and the adulterer. He could even imagine what the village near the turn would do to the Ten Mile Fort.

Not to mention the righteousness, there are some new widows in the village, and some women who have been in their in-laws' house for many years without men are even more disgusted with Widow Du's style. If this matter is made now, maybe people outside will look at them wrongly, and I am afraid that the future will be affected.
