Fertile land

Chapter 100

He really had an impression. Shopkeeper Zhu nodded slightly: "Zeng Mansion, the little boy has some impressions, but didn't he just settle in the town not long ago? How could Madam Luo have contact with them..."

"Haha, there is a sister-in-law at home who has not yet left the court, and the Zeng family came to propose marriage!"

"Propose marriage?"

Shopkeeper Zhu had a complicated look on his face and thought to himself: "Master Zeng is already a very old man and is still an eunuch. Isn't it for him?"

Probably not. Come to think of it, Mr. Zeng has an only biological nephew, so he may be proposing marriage to that nephew!

Luo Zhi'er said: "May I ask Shopkeeper Zhu, what do you know?"

"Oh, Mr. Zeng has very high requirements for food, and he is very picky! In addition, he is ill. Recently, he specially asked our waiter to deliver meals to him several times, so I have a little impression!"

"Oh, that's it. I hope Shopkeeper Zhu can tell me what he knows."

"That's natural. He has been bedridden all year round and has difficulty moving. He rides a wheelbarrow! He is about eighty years old. He used to be the father-in-law in the palace and he was an eunuch!"

"More than 80? Still a eunuch?"

Luo Zhi'er was taken aback, her eyes flashed, she just said, how can such a good thing happen, there must be some hidden agenda!

"Well, because Mr. Zeng's ancestral home is Taoyuan Town, his parents, brother and sister-in-law have all passed away. He only has one nephew, who is now over 40 and is still unmarried."

"Well, it's just because he is getting older, and the master will give a sum of money to support the palace when he leaves the palace. In addition, he has worked hard in the palace for many years to become the general manager, and he is quite trusted by the master behind him, so he Let him leave the palace and return to Taoyuan Town to settle down!"

"Is he really rich?"

Shopkeeper Zhu looked at her doubtfully. Madam Luo doesn't look like the kind of person who only cares about wealth and wealth?

Still said:
"The mansion is just a two-story house, and his nephew is currently living with him to take care of him. It's not a big house for a wealthy family in the town, but he has saved some belongings, so his wealth should be pretty good!"

"But... I heard that his ancestors were not in the ceramics business?"

"This, I don't know who spread the news. Is it true or false? I heard it the same way before, but later when Chang Qing went to deliver food, I found out that the person behind it was a father-in-law!"

"I heard from Chang Qing that his family has a lot of porcelain ornaments. Mr. Zeng likes to collect ceramics. When he moved, he brought many into the house, so it was rumored that he was in the ceramics business..."

"So that's how it is..."

"Then does he have a concubine?"

"I don't know about this. He probably doesn't have a eunuch, but that's not necessarily true. Anyway, I haven't seen him since Chang Qing went there!"

After all, eunuchs can also be lonely, and they can also eat each other in the palace.

Luo Zhi'er got the general idea, said goodbye to Shopkeeper Zhu, and took Miaomiao away from Yumanlou!
Luo Zhi'er thought about it for a long time on the way. This statement was inconsistent with what Lao Li Tou said when he came back yesterday.

He said that Li Lei said that Mr. Zeng was in his forties, a very talented man, and he was engaged in the porcelain business...

None of this is right.

As for the concubine, Shopkeeper Zhu and the others have never seen it. How did Li Lei know about it?
He has been in the town for such a long time. If he inquires sincerely, he should be able to figure out at least his age, appearance, and the specific business he does!

If this happens, what good will it do to him?She became suspicious of Li Lei.

Passing by the shoe store, Luo Zhi'er took Miaomiao inside. As soon as she entered, an aunt in her fifties greeted her.

Behind her was a woman who looked like a daughter-in-law. She glanced at the two of them, especially the tattered shoes on Miaomiao's feet, and looked at Luo Zhi'er with a slightly disdainful expression.

Luo Zhi'er looked around and asked the old woman if she could give Miaomiao a pair of shoes to try on. The young wife became dissatisfied upon hearing this.

"Try whatever you want. If you don't buy the shoes until they get dirty, who will buy them?"

Luo Zhi'er said: "As you said, if it is suitable, of course we will buy it, but if it is not suitable, we will definitely not buy it."

"Tch, it sounds grand. I've seen a lot of people like you. I just came to take a look. I didn't buy it after seeing it!"

The little wife felt that although Luo Zhi'er was clean, the quality of her clothes was not very good.

Especially that little girl, her clothes were too small and patched, and her shoes were torn and patched.

And her pair of shoes is the most expensive in this shoe store. How could she try them on for someone like her?
"These shoes cost 25 cents a pair, what do you think? Can you afford to try them on?"

"Hey, you are such a person, you open the door to do business, don't you only need 25 cents? Isn't this a dog-like look down on others?"

The old woman advised her: "Oh, lady, don't be angry, she is just like that, young and ignorant, I will give it to you..."

Luo Zhi'er's eyes lit up just now when she saw Miao Miao looking at the pair of small shoes, so she didn't bother to argue with her and squatted down to put Miao Miao on.

Miaomiao really liked it, but when she saw her mother was angry just now, she shook her head and said no, she didn't like it, and kept pulling her away...

Luo Zhi'er looked at her funny, didn't she understand this little trick?
He touched her head and waved his hand to her to take this pair off!
Miaomiao has a good eye for appreciation. They are a pair of handmade cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles. The toes are also embroidered with carp head patterns. They are pink and very cute.

The little girl couldn't put it down and couldn't bear to wear them, so Luo Zhierxing put them on for her and threw away the old shoes. After thinking about it, he picked up two pairs of identical ones and wore them interchangeably!
The couple happily went out holding hands, not caring about the look of the woman behind them. At this time, her face turned blue and white.

Miaomiao put on new shoes, and everyone walking on the street felt much more confident, with a bright smile on her face.

Seeing Luo Zhi'er and her daughter walking away, the woman said:

"Hey, don't you feel embarrassed? You're not like this usually. Didn't Mom tell you that we treat everyone equally when doing business? Why can't you help it today?"

The little daughter-in-law said aggrievedly: "Mom, didn't I see that the shoes she gave the little girl to wear were very shabby, the clothes were in tatters, and she pretended to be nice and even got the best shoes, so I knew she didn't care for her daughter. "

"You know, I get angry when I see this kind of thing. She is fat and oily herself. She is the kind of person who loves vanity and wanders around town!"

"Have you learned your lesson? Don't judge a book by its appearance. There are many things you haven't seen. The little girl is wearing a pink flower on her head. She is eating snacks and is very close to her mother. Especially those little eyes that are sparkling..."

"Mother-in-law, I was wrong! You are still the best!"

The little daughter-in-law ran over and shook her mother-in-law's arm!

"Haha! That's not true, my mother will live decades longer than you!"

Luo Zhi'er took Miaomiao for a walk around Tengda Street, the busiest street in the town.

I bought a lot of food for Miaomiao, and two clothes and bags were bulging.

Holding the twist in the right hand and the candied haws in the left hand, Miao Miao took a bite and said, "Mother, this candied haws is not as delicious as the one made by mother!"

"Oh?"

"Hey, the candied haws made by mother is the most delicious candied haws in the world. Mother, Miaomiao will love you for 1000 million years!"

"Hehe, this girl!"

Luo Zhi'er looked at the way everyone around her looked at her with embarrassment...

When they were picking fungi on the mountain, she would joke with Miaomiao. She said, Miaomiao, my mother loves you very much. She will love you for 1000 million years!
Miaomiao also said, Mom, Miaomiao loves you too, I have loved you for tens of millions of years, I have loved you for billions of years!

Then Luo Zhi'er refused to admit defeat and said: "Mom, I have loved you for billions of years!"

Then the two women will laugh up to the sky...

This is their little secret. It's a bit embarrassing to shout loudly in this ancient street!
She quickly tightened her grip on Miaomiao and got out of here!
