Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Zong Zhen wanted to be in awe of his wife, but when he saw her rushing towards him like a mad tiger, he grabbed his face with ten fingers.

She flicked to the side in shock: "Don't scratch your face, you want to see someone!"

"You also know that you want to meet people!" Crying, she grabbed her husband's clothes, "Give your younger sister to someone else as a concubine, you are not afraid of being ridiculed, today I am going to scratch your face and make you shameless! "

Poor Zongzhen can be regarded as one of the best heroes in Cangzhou City. If it were someone else, let alone a Wang family, even if there were ten more, he would be easily overthrown.

But my wife's power was getting stronger and stronger, but she didn't dare to fight back, so she had to dodge again.

"Wow!" With a sound, the robe she was wearing was torn off by Wang, revealing colorful tattoos all over her body.

But what he saw was that his strong body was covered with mighty black dragons, embroidered from neck to wrist.

The four children clapped their hands at the same time: "Father, the dragon on your body is so beautiful!"

"Daddy, I want to stab too!"

"Zong, don't hide!" Unable to grab her husband's face, Wang wailed and dug around Zongzhen's body.

It only took a moment to grab it to pieces.

The four brats were still clapping their hands and laughing: "The dragon is scratched!"

"It's not good, it's not good!"

"Wow!" Suddenly, a woman with loose hair came in from the door, cried loudly, and hugged the four children: "Stop hitting, brother, sister-in-law, stop hitting, be careful to scare the children!"

This person is officially Zongzhen's sister.

I saw that this woman was about sixteen or seventeen years old, thin and small, with dark skin, but pretty facial features, but unfortunately her face was covered with freckles, she looked very ugly.

If Su Mu were here and saw the appearance of Zong Zhen's sister, he would definitely roar angrily: "Zong Zhen, fuck the [-]th generation ancestor of your family, such a girl wants to force it on me, who is my master Mei? My lord It’s not a scavenger, it doesn’t matter if you force it to me, but it’s unforgivable to insult my aesthetic taste.”

Seeing the girl coming out, Wang also shed tears: "Don't worry about this, sister, take the child back to the house, and sister-in-law will make the decision for you."

Zong Xiaomei was brought up by Wang since she was a child. In Wang's mind, Xiaomei is like her own daughter.

Little sister Zong nodded with a sob, and led her nephews out.

When she left, the Wang clan spat at her husband again.Pointing at her husband tremblingly with anger: "Zong Zhen, you bastard, you are really insane..."

Before she finished speaking, an unexpected scene happened, but Zongzhen suddenly knelt on the ground, with tears in her eyes: "It's my Zongzhen's fault, it's because I'm a mess, and this is my sister's disadvantage. This time, Our family is in great trouble!"

From Wang's point of view, although her husband is afraid of herself, it is because she loves her for the hardships she suffered for the family in the early years.But in his heart, Zongzhen is a competitive and tough man.Don't talk about crying, let him kneel down to a woman, he might as well die.

The sudden action of her husband made Wang panic, and she also knelt down, asking in a low voice, "What's the matter, shopkeeper, what's the matter?"

Zongzhen wiped his eyes: "I, Zongzhen, am also a man. Even if my head is beheaded, I won't blink. But this time, I have lost all face. How can I behave in the world in the future? "

As he said that, he told Wang about the ins and outs of this matter.

What kind of business did her husband support a large family, and he set up this family business, Wang naturally knew it well.

In fact, there are not [-] but [-] to [-] people in Cangzhou relying on the Changlu Salt Farm.This includes salt merchants, salt dealers, porters, boatmen, and of course private salt dealers.When there is a disaster and the court's taxes are tight, many good people will put down their hoes and go to illicit salt, so that they can guarantee food and clothing for a year.

I don't think it's a big deal to smuggle salt. As for being caught by the government, I can only blame my bad luck.

Looking back, if the husband doesn't rush this, I'm afraid the four children will be lost.

Wang is also very proud of the family business her husband has accumulated over the past few years.

However, unlike her husband who was worried that he would lose face to see his colleagues in the future, what Wang thought about was the safety of the whole family and Zongzhen.

She has also heard about the ferocity of the salt owls. Killing a person is like killing a chicken. If the husband has caused such a big thing, if he doesn't solve it properly, he will be out for a long time, and he will inevitably be retaliated against.

Her heart trembled, her expression changed immediately, and she didn't care about being angry, she sighed: "You are just a good-faced person, and you like to brag to others, what should you do now?"

Zong Zhen's eyes were red, and he said dejectedly: "Forget it, after doing a small thing for the inspector Mei, I won't let it go again. At worst, I, Zong Zhen, took my family and went out to hide for ten or eight years. I don't want the face of going out."

"But, this business..."

"What time is it, I can't take care of the family business anymore, by the way, how many things are there in the family?"

Wang said sadly: "The family's money is all bet on the goods, and the only floating property you have exchanged for gold and then given to A Niu. Now, there are only less than ten taels left."

"I can't help it. I'm afraid my wife will suffer with me in the future."

"As long as the family is safe, we are not afraid of hardships, but it is a pity that we lost four children." Thinking of the busy life for so many years, seeing the prosperity of life, but now it is nothing, no matter how strong Wang is, he can't stand it, and tears fall .

Zong Zhen suddenly laughed: "Lady, don't worry, there is a saying among scholars, I am born to be useful. I, Zong Zhen, am a good man, no matter where I go, I won't be hungry for you."

This smile was heroic, but there was a trace of unwillingness in his tone.

Hearing this, the always strong Wang stretched out her hand to hold her husband's hand, and wailed loudly: "Let's go, let's go together, as long as you are by my side, I will not be afraid!"

"Brother, sister-in-law, I am willing to marry!" At this moment, a cry came from outside the house.

Zongzhen and his wife turned their heads to look, but saw Zong Xiaomei kneeling at the door, her ugly face was already wet.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Zong Zhen was taken aback. He hurriedly wiped away tears and stood up, and walked forward, about to help the girl up: "Don't worry, as long as the eldest brother is alive, he can't give you to others To be a concubine. I, Zongzhen, is a character anyway, so my sister naturally wants to choose a good husband-in-law."

But I didn't want Miss Zong to be so strong, she shook her body, but couldn't pull her up: "Brother, don't persuade me anymore, I was raised by my brother and sister-in-law since I was a child, and I think about it day and night to repay my brother and sister-in-law's great kindness. Now, the family is suffering After such a big difficulty, since my brother is useful to my sister, how can I not care about it. If my brother pulls it again, my sister will hit her head and die here."

Speaking of this, she smiled sadly: "Whoever is a woman is not married, inspector Mei is also an official after all, and I don't lose money by being his concubine. It's better than being a concubine for a poor family and suffering for a lifetime. I I've made up my mind, brother and sister-in-law don't try to persuade me any more."

Hearing what the girl said, Zong Zhen felt sad and sad, and couldn't say anything more.

"Sister, sister, my good girl!" Wang hugged Zong Xiaomei, and the two cried together.

At this time, the four brats next door poked their heads out, and seeing their parents and aunt crying hard, they were not afraid, but giggled non-stop.

Zong Zhenzhen sighed inwardly. The life at home has become more and more prosperous these years. These four little bastards have never experienced any hardships, so how do they know the difficulties in the world?

I don't know why, when he heard the girl said that he was willing to be a concubine for Mei Xunjian, and when he thought of these four children, he suddenly felt relieved.

That night, the husband and wife tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep at night.

Or Zongzhen couldn't help it: "Madam, you can't sleep either!"

Wang sighed and said: "Things have become like this. I know the character of that little girl best. After all, I raised her with one hand and one foot. She is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Once a matter is decided, nine cows will not be able to pull her back." Hey, this one is going to be a concubine, and I don’t know what will happen in the future. It is said that Mei’s patrol inspector earns a few hundred taels a year, which is almost catching up with you. If he can treat his sister well, he will have a son in the future , even if Mei Xun examines the lady, for the sake of the child, he should feel pity for her."

Zong Zhen said sullenly: "The truth is this, but whether you can have a son in the future depends on God's arrangement."

"By the way, there are still some inappropriate things about this matter." After all, Wang is a woman, and her heart is also careful: "Before you asked a matchmaker to propose a marriage, but Mei inspectors rejected it, and this time you want to send your sister to be a concubine. I'm afraid he may not agree. Although there is no need to hold any ceremony for taking a concubine, the two sides have agreed and just send it over. But the girl is really too hostile, I'm afraid the inspector Mei will not like it."

"Ah...it's true..." Zong Zhenben wished to have a relationship with Su Mu, but after hearing what his wife said, he realized that he had neglected the most important point.When marrying a wife and virtue, taking a concubine only depends on two points: whether it is beautiful or not, and whether it is suitable for a man.

Zongzhen murmured a few times: "This... I'm afraid it will backfire."

He suddenly tensed up.

Wang suddenly asked: "Lao Zong, my concubine wants to ask you, does a man have to look at his appearance when he sleeps with a woman?" No matter how careless Wang is, she is still a little embarrassed to say this.

Zong Zhen thought for a while: "No, it's the same when the lamp is blown."

"That's good!" Mrs. Wang: "Can you think of a way to send Mei Xunjian and the younger sister directly to the bridal chamber, and it will be dark and dark, as long as the raw rice is cooked."

Zong Zhen was a little out of his mind: "Madam, please tell me."

Mrs. Wang: "Tomorrow at noon, you come to the door and don't say anything about picking up the bride. You get him drunk first, and then ask the inn proprietress to secretly send the little girl into the inspector Mei's room. This man is just like you, When I was drunk, I saw a woman lying on the bed, lustful, and I couldn't care so much. Didn't you ask Namei to inspect the work? Once you enter the bridal chamber and see that the fire is almost ready, you rush into the house and pull The patrol inspector who lives in Mei is called Qu. The inspector Mei is also a person with status, and he is not married. Even if he sees Xiaobu not looking good, he is embarrassed to turn his face. Otherwise, everyone will die together, so you can go to the Yamen to sue him , saying that he insulted the innocence of a woman from a good family."

Zong Zhen took a deep breath: "My lady is very scheming, I will discuss it with the proprietress of the inn tomorrow, and then promise a generous profit. A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, this is a good thing, and the proprietress must want to do it."
