Chapter 53: The conceited son-in-law of the Zhang family

Not......

This is a Song Dynasty salesman?

Talent!

Jiang Chen looked at the white and chubby maid with a kind face on a surprised face.

But Zhang Yuexin didn't think this maid was cute.

Her husband and Zhang Hongwen are both noble officials in the Hanlin Academy, and they only live on monthly salaries, and their families do not have much money to spare.

As soon as she heard that the maid praised this dress so well, she subconsciously touched the purse on her waist and asked nervously: "There is no shortage of luxurious and bright clothes in Mrs. Ben's house, as long as this set is enough, what is the price?" ”

"Two sets together are 400 guan, and if you buy a single set, it is 220 guan!" The maid replied with a smile.

"Two hundred and twenty?"

Zhang Yuexin's eyelids jumped wildly in shock, and she had the urge to smash her clothes on the ground.

It can be seen that everyone around her is staring at her and the clothes in her hands with a look of 'envy', especially in front of Liu Yueniang, she really can't let go of that face.

So he said to Zhang Hongwen expectantly: "Second brother, I didn't bring so much money over today, you gave it for me first." ”

"I ...... I only have more than sixty runs. ”

Zhang Hongwen replied awkwardly.

Although their Zhang family is a wealthy family, his father is not very good, and he passed away early, and now he relies on the help of his fifth uncle Zhang Shangying to maintain the appearance of brilliance, and he is reluctant to buy such expensive clothes.

"This ...... How good is that? ”

Zhang Yuexin's face was full of embarrassment, and she wanted to return her clothes to the maid while she spoke.

At this moment, Jiang Chen slammed his hand, snatched his clothes away, and scolded angrily:

"Why are you so vexatious? Can't afford to buy clothes and snatch them from my wife? Isn't this a sincere attempt to make trouble and influence the store's business? ”

As his words fell, the third sister-in-law of the Pan family and others immediately echoed:

"It's just that if you can't afford it, you won't let others buy it, it's too unreasonable, right?"

"It's just bullying people and bullying home!"

"If you want me to say, since you have all expelled Mrs. Jiang from the Zhang family, they have nothing to do with you! If you let go of the door, isn't it good for everyone to have their own peaceful birthdays? Why bother? ”

"That's right! That's what I think! ”

……

Uh-

Zhang Yuexin's face turned red, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to die.

Zhang Hongwen and his mother Sun Cuiyun were also ashamed not to overdo it.

However, Zhang Yue, who was still young, said to Jiang Chen unconvinced:

"We can't afford it, can you? Don't say that you have only been an official for a few days, even if you save money for an official for a year, you can't afford to buy such expensive clothes! ”

"Yes, we can't afford it, and you can't afford it, what are you proud of?"

Zhang Hongwen and Zhang Yuexin immediately looked at Jiang Chen again.

Jiang Chen shook his head amusedly, and instructed Liu Yuancheng: "Yuancheng, take the money, buy the two sets together!" ”

"Yes, big brother!"

Liu Yuancheng put the blanket that he carried behind him like a sack on the ground, and directly ordered four hundred pieces and handed them to the maid.

The maid smiled happily, and saluted Liu Yueniang sweetly: "Madam is really a blessing, marrying such a young and promising official who cares about the family, it is really enviable!" ”

The corners of Liu Yueniang's mouth curled, and she looked at Jiang Chen with a happy expression.

But Zhang Hongwen and Zhang Yue's faces were extremely ugly and stiff.

Zhang Yuexin couldn't help but look at Wang Wenhan, who had been silent, with her eyes full of loss.

Wang Wenhan was conceited and talented, and he was qualified to stay in the Qing and noble Hanlin, so he looked down on Jiang Chen, whose official position was higher than him, so he had been disdainful of interjecting just now.

However, seeing that his wife was being bullied, he couldn't help it, raised his chin and stared at Jiang Chen and said:

"I've heard that you once boasted of your poetry and were willing to gamble with a thousand yuan, why don't you and I bet on a poem with lotus flowers today?

If you lose, in addition to losing money and returning the clothes to my wife, you must also apologize to my wife. Do you dare to say yes? ”

"Do you dare to say yes?"

Zhang Hongwen was quite confident in Wang Wenhan's talent, and looked at Jiang Chen directly and provocatively when he heard the words.

Zhang Yuexin saw that her own officials came forward for her, and her pretty face turned red with excitement, and she said to Jiang Chen triumphantly:

"Tell you, my father-in-law is a Hanlin who stayed in the museum, and it is not comparable to you, a craftsman and an official. If you don't dare, we don't want the silver, just take that woman and apologize to Mrs. Ben!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yue'e couldn't help but say to Jiang Chen: "You won't have only one poem from beginning to end, right?" I don't know if you did it, but you have to go out a thousand times to compete with you, isn't it a weak heart? ”

"Someone wants to give me silver, what do I have to be vain?"

Jiang Chen looked amused, looked at Wang Wenhan, who was coaxed by cowhide, and said, "It's just that I'm a little worried, your lady can't even afford a piece of clothing, where did you come from to bet with me?" What will you pay me if I lose? ”
