After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 22

"How about ninety Wen? If you agree, I can buy all the sauces you brought now."

The shopkeeper looked at the two bottles of sauce in her basket, and thought slightly: "This way, I don't have to trouble you to bring such heavy things back home."

"It's just a few bottles, and it's not that heavy. The price is one hundred yuan, why don't you think more about it?"

Su Xiaomu shook his head.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and finally agreed.

"Okay, let's make an agreement. From now on, you can only sell it to our family! If it sells well and the customers like it, then I can continue this business with you for a long time."

"Of course, the shopkeeper's money is not blown by strong winds. I still understand the truth of this."

Su Xiaomu smiled and handed out all the chili sauce in the basket: "A total of [-] Wen, thanks to the shopkeeper for taking care of the business."

After Su Xiaomu took the money from the shopkeeper, he thought about going to the market to see if there were any snacks that he could bring back to the children.

She went straight to the sugar shop, but before she had time to choose, she saw two familiar faces in the bookstore beside her.

Taking a closer look, it was Zhou Lin and his classmate.

At this moment, the memory in Su Xiaomu's mind was not so good, she remembered the ugly words that Gu Jingcheng said in that alley again, so she turned her back while choosing candy, and didn't want to pay attention to it.

But the two people spoke a little louder, and I could hear clearly when I was outside.

"You can go home today, why do you still look so cold today, I have met your sister-in-law, she said more than once that you are the hope of your whole family.

What, is there any reason why you don't want to go back? "

"Didn't your sister-in-law say that your family married you a daughter-in-law? They all said that there are four great happy events in life: meeting nectar after a long drought, meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, wedding night in the bridal chamber, and being named on the gold list. You said that you now have a wife, and my brother I'm different."

Zhou Lin was poor-mouthed, Gu Jingcheng gave him a cold look, and his tone was filled with impatience: "If you want, you can also ask your father to marry you a wife."

"That's unnecessary!"

Zhou Lin immediately waved his hands to express his reluctance: "Why should I marry a wife now? Let her take care of me with my mother? I didn't say it, but your daughter-in-law is a hag, so you don't want to go back. Your mother gave you a fairy, and you are so happy that you don't even want to read books."

Speaking of this, Zhou Lin began to rub his hands again, laughing: "That is to say, let my sister-in-law bring you meals next time, and we also want to see what your new daughter-in-law looks like."

The more Gu Jingcheng heard what he said, the darker his face became, and finally he walked forward without saying a word.

She couldn't hear what was said later, and the two walked away.

After Su Xiaomu weighed the candies, he curled his lips.

"On weekdays, he still looks like a gentleman. What kind of genius who reads sage books, but he is also a high-sounding person. He talks about women wantonly in public, and even speaks dirty words. I think you two are just as good at it. .”

Hehe, who is the dominatrix?

Su Xiaomu shook his head speechlessly, got on the bullock cart and prepared to go back to the village.

She didn't hear it, Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin said seriously.

"Don't always arrange others. The relationship between me and her is between me and her. You have never seen her, and you will not know her temper. No one wants to be someone else's mouth for no reason. negotiating resources."

What Gu Jingcheng said was very serious, Zhou Lin didn't dare to joke with him anymore.

But in the end, I couldn't help but muttered: "Who told you that you never tell us about your daughter-in-law? Everyone thinks you don't want to see her."

"It has nothing to do with whether you want to see or not. A gentleman does something and doesn't do something. You shouldn't look at her like this."

Gu Jingcheng finally emphasized to him again: "If you are making fun of her, then the friendship between us has come to an end."

"Why is it so serious!"

When Zhou Lin heard this, he quickly grabbed Gu Jingcheng's hand and said, "Brother, I really respect my sister-in-law very much. In my heart, my sister-in-law is the best woman in the world!"

"Don't call her sister-in-law."

Gu Jingcheng gritted his teeth, and finally choked out a few words.

But here, Su Xiaomu arrived in the village in an ox cart in about an hour.

After she got home, she distributed the candied haws and cakes she bought to the children, and she also cut off a catty of meat, thinking that the last time Yin bought it would be left to Gu Jingcheng, so they would eat this catty of meat first Beat the tooth festival.

Having no time to rest at home, Su Xiaomu wondered if he could make some other sauces after finishing the business as the shopkeeper of the hotel.

She was always thinking about the wild pepper tree on the mountain, and holding a sickle, she called Gu Ruotong to go up the mountain together.

There's no other way, Yin and Chen can't shout, and it's hard to explain to them what wild prickly ash is, so she can only drag Gu Ruotong.

As soon as she went up the mountain, she didn't return until dinner.

So much so that Su Xiaomu didn't know that her cheap husband-in-law was back!

"Oh, Jingcheng! Why did you come back so late? You should have breakfast in the academy tomorrow morning and take a car to come back slowly."

When Mrs. Li heard from the two daughters-in-law that the third child was back, she immediately came out of the house so excited that she almost forgot to put on her shoes.

But as soon as he saw the exhaustion on his third son's handsome face, and saw that there were mud spots on his shoes, he scratched his heart and liver in distress.

"Didn't I ask your sister-in-law to give you money yesterday? Why are you so reluctant to spend it? If you get lost on the road, I will really feel sorry for you!"

"It's okay, mother, it's just that the master just assigned a homework to memorize, so I'm going to study while walking."

Seeing Mrs. Li, Gu Jingcheng's expression softened a lot. He went back to the house to pack his things first. Mrs. Li didn't dare to enter the house with him, for fear of delaying his study.

It is to call Yin Shi to cook in the yard, and then call Chen Shi to clean the yard.

Gu Jingcheng laid out all his books in the room.

The eldest brother and the second brother should still be in the field, and Ruotong is the only child in the family who is not there.

And my child bride...

Thinking that she was not at home at the moment, and he didn't have to face her awkwardly for the time being, he felt a little comforted in his heart.

He picked up the book and read it slowly.

Gu Jingcheng never noticed that there was a small bed beside his bed.

On the kang where he usually slept, he was replaced with a thicker quilt.

Before reading a few pages of the book, a refreshing female voice came from outside the yard.

"Mom! Ruotong and I are back!"

"Look what I smell, is my sister-in-law cooking meat today?"

Su Xiaomu is carrying a basket of wild prickly ash on his back, and he is in a particularly good mood now.

Today's harvest is quite good, and the chili sauce business can last for a few more days.

Gu Ruotong also picked a lot of mulberries, and they can make mulberry sauce later.

"I said you go to the city when you go to the city, and you buy things when you buy things. Why waste this money buying these for the children to eat!"

Hearing Su Xiaomu's voice, Mrs. Li carried Gu Ruochen and walked towards her.
