The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 200 Master Zhong's painstaking efforts

The scholar will be hesitant about his future life, watching his wife go about her business every day, from a rich lady to a housewife who enters the kitchen and exits the hall.

For his wife to marry him despite the opposition of his family, he has long vowed in his heart that he must give his wife a good life.

It's a pity that those who are unlucky can't pass the exam, and they can't have other jobs that make a lot of money. They can't guarantee two meals for selling calligraphy and painting, and they have to pay the rent with their wife's dowry money every month. The pressure of life will make him overwhelmed When she got angry, her scholarly arrogance was almost destroyed.

He has to face other people again, seeing his jokes on the surface, he still looks disapproving and unrestrained, but in fact, his heart is about to be destroyed by other people's gossip.

"Ma'am, do you think it's okay?"

The scholar did not make a domineering decision, but asked his wife what she meant. For a wife, this is respect. Even if his heart has moved, he still wants to listen to your opinion, which means that this man has you in his heart.

"Husband, I think it's very good. If you agree, that would be the best. In the future, when you come out to teach, you can have your own review time."

As a wife, I always hope that my husband can pass the exam, so that she will not make fun of others. Even if they can make money, it is just the tempering of ordinary life.

The scholar nodded after hearing his wife's words, then turned to Housekeeper Zhao and said:
"Well, so... May I ask Butler Zhao, when are we going to leave? Can you buy this house?"

Steward Zhao promised them: "Those who came to pick you up, I hope you can leave as soon as possible, preferably tomorrow morning. As for the house, we will deal with it immediately after you agree."

The scholar said again: "What if the owner of the house doesn't sell the house?"

Butler Zhao said:
"Your lease period should not have expired, and you couldn't buy it right away. If the owner doesn't sell it, I can help you buy another house and move your things to the house."

The couple looked at each other and nodded. One day was enough for them to pack their things. They didn't choose to leave quietly. The wife wrote a letter to Housekeeper Zhao and asked him to help deliver it to her natal family.

Steward Zhao got the consent of the couple, and took another letter from her to do the task.

First of all, of course, go to the owner of the house, the owner of the house at first?He refused to sell it, saying that the annual rent of the rental house was enough for their family to live on, and there was no need to get more money for selling the house. The one-time money might be spent and gone.

But the owner of this house is not willing to sell the house. Housekeeper Zhao offered a higher price, but the family was also unwilling to sell it. He could only send a letter to his wife's relatives first.

Although Mrs. Zhao's relative is a wealthy family in the capital, it is just an ordinary wealthy family. Compared with the Zhao family, it is definitely incomparable. Zhao's housekeeper asked to see him, and the host family politely introduced him in.

Butler Zhao saw that the head of the house was Zhong, the father of the scholar's wife, so he opposed his daughter marrying a scholar, but because the scholar could support his daughter with his own efforts, instead of relying on their family, it might be possible to do so. It will be cruel, and it will make my daughter very hard.

As a father, this is also a helpless move. Who made his daughter choose this path?
Every day his wife misses his daughter nagging and crying, he can only bear it and sigh every day, but he has been paying attention to the recent situation of their husband and wife, and endures other people's gossip.

"Rare guest, rare guest, Steward Zhao, please take a seat, I don't know if your relative has something to order?"

Just as Butler Zhao sat down, someone served him tea, took a sip from the teacup and put it down, then he took out a letter from his arms.

"Here is a letter from your daughter."

Master Zhong glanced at Butler Zhao suspiciously, reached out to pick up the letter, and said:

"Why did this unfilial girl ask you to convey the letter? If you convey it to her, our family will not forgive her."

"Master Zhong, don't worry, you read the letter first and then..."

At this time, a woman came in from the outside, followed by a servant girl, who probably came in after hearing a few words at the door, and said as she came in:
"Master, you can't say such angry words anymore. Our mother and daughter are close in front of us, but they are far away in the world. We haven't seen each other for more than half a year. I don't know that you can't sleep every night and miss your daughter?"

"Ma'am..." Mr. Zhong begged for mercy in words when he heard that his wife did not show face in front of outsiders.

"Hurry up and read the letter. If you don't read it, let me read it. Let me see what my daughter can tell us?"

Mrs. Zhong anxiously wanted to grab the letter, but because of the presence of outsiders, she nodded to Steward Zhao after speaking to her husband.

The couple had already been attracted by the letter. As for entertaining guests, they chose to put it down first.

Master Zhong read the letter, and a smile began to appear on his face.

"Husband, what did your daughter's letter say?"

Mrs. Zhong was in a hurry, so Mr. Zhong handed the letter to her to read.

Mrs. Zhong read the letter, and said with a smile while reading, "Wow, wow, it's a good thing that they can find a job!"

Master Zhong said with a smile: "I am so grateful to my cousin for promoting them, so that they have a stable income and can buy a house."

Butler Zhao said with a smile: "Madam and Ms. Zhong are relatives, of course we need to help, and I hope they can teach their relatives' children well. This is also a favor from Madam."

"Housekeeper Zhao, Uncle Neng, which company does my daughter work for? Will she go to a far away place? It's a long way to go, and I don't know when we will meet again."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zhong, Miss Zhong is going to the home of our master's sister, and their family will definitely not treat Miss Zhong and his wife badly, and it's only a day's journey."

"Where is that?" Mrs. Zhong asked anxiously again.

"The Tang family is in Xin County, and they are the imperial merchants of our Nanyue Kingdom. If you and your wife want to see their husband and wife, you can meet today. They will be taken to Xin County by the Tang family early tomorrow morning."

Butler Zhao's words moved Mrs. Zhong's heart. She felt that if she didn't see her daughter today, she might see her again in a year or two.

"Master, let's go see you!"

Mr. Zhong shook his head stubbornly and said: "That unfilial girl, she doesn't come back to see us herself, but wants us to see them, I won't go..."

"Master, at this time, you are still stubborn, you will regret it later..."

"Hmph, ma'am, you don't need to say any more."

Master Zhong's stubbornness made Mrs. Zhong cry.

Seeing their husband and wife like this, Butler Zhao was too embarrassed to stay here any longer, so he took his leave and went back to report to his wife.

Before lunch, Mrs. Zhao received a report from the housekeeper and felt that the matter had settled down, so she asked housekeeper Zhao to prepare a gift, which was a gift for the Tang family.

He also asked steward Zhao to keep an eye on other houses, and must buy a house for them and his wife.

Steward Zhao got a new task, so he hurriedly retreated to meet the middleman who introduced the house, and then asked someone to prepare a gift by the way.
