pastoral wife

Chapter 76

Jiang Chu and Ji Yao rushed to finish work, and they were not in a hurry to go home, but planned to buy some household items in the town first.

Now Jiang Chu has become the housekeeper of the Ji family invisibly, thanks to the fact that the Liang family doesn't care about things, and the Jin family doesn't care, so Jiang Chu naturally has to take care of this family and pick up everything. I want to buy the best ones, after all, I am making a lot of money now, so I can't hurt my family.

But today, Jiang Chu deliberately dragged Ji Yao to a store selling shoes.

"What are you doing here?" Ji Yao asked.

Jiang Chu glanced at the shoes on his feet, and poked his head with slender fingers like green onions: "Look at your shoes, and ask me what I'm here for, why don't you know how to take care of them? Own."

Ji Yao's heart warmed, he pulled his lips and smiled: "Isn't there you?"

The daughter-in-law wants to buy him shoes, it's nice to have a daughter-in-law!

Jiang Chu directly pulled Ji Yao into the shop, and chose a pair of suitable boots for Ji Yao. The key is that the soles are thick, and Ji Yao's shoes are extraordinarily expensive.

After paying the money and leaving the shop, Ji Yao immediately changed into the shoes that Jiang Chu bought for him, and he walked briskly.

Jiang Chu muttered: "Yesterday I saw my younger siblings making shoes and clothes for Ji Wei, but I'm clumsy, and I can't do these, so I can only buy you some ready-made ones."

Ji Yao chuckled and squeezed her palm: "Everything you give is the best."

Jiang Chu was happy now, and happily hugged his arm and shook him: "My husband is the best!"

"Find a place to rest before going back." Ji Yao said.

"it is good."

The two went directly to a teahouse. Jiang Chu was not very interested in drinking tea. The key point was that there were all kinds of delicious cakes in this teahouse. Jiang Chu liked the sweet-scented osmanthus cake here the most, and he had to order a plate every time he came back.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a group of people at the next table talking loudly.

Yes, another advantage of the teahouse is that you can definitely hear any news recently. This is one of the reasons why Jiang Chu likes the teahouse. After all, she is a business person, and it is necessary to keep abreast of some current news in the town. .

"Today's sage is really a wise king! Corrupt officials don't know how many people have been dismissed from their horses! Especially the flood in Zhangzhou, it has been flooded almost every year, and the people are living in poverty. It is the first big event, no, in less than half a year, the dikes and dams have been built, increasing income and reducing expenditure, and I don’t know how much good news has been brought to the people.”

"Isn't that right? And I heard that the Holy Majesty seems to want to reduce taxes and corvees this time. How could Emperor Chong want to reduce or exempt the people's taxes? I'm afraid he can't squeeze the people out. Today, the Holy Majesty is dedicated to the people. , once the taxes and corvees are reduced, life will be much easier."

"So, the current politics creates heroes, and the current emperor is a generation of Mingjun, so there is nothing to say!"

Jiang Chu listened to a group of people over there discussing "major national affairs", but was secretly amazed, and couldn't help but said to Ji Yao: "Listen, our emperor is not bad?"

Although for Jiang Chu, whether the emperor is good or not seems to have nothing to do with her.

Ji Yao pursed his lips: "It should."

"According to them, at least they have done a lot of practical things for the people, but I don't know if the tax and corvee reduction is true. If it is true, it is indeed good news for the people." Jiang Chudao .

The people live comfortably, and she earns more money!After all, she is just a commoner.

Jiang Chu paused, then asked again: "But I heard those people talk about Chongdi? Could it be the late emperor? The late emperor and the others dare to say such humiliating words in public like this?"

Ji Yao's eyes narrowed slightly: "Chongdi is the first emperor, but Chongdi and today are not the same surname."

Jiang Chu was taken aback for a moment, and instantly understood, and asked in a low voice with great interest, "So, today is treason and usurpation?"

Ji Yao nodded: "Chongdi is tyrannical, disregarding the life and death of the people, and the whole country is in turmoil. If there is inhumanity, there will be retribution."

Of course, Jiang Chu understood this truth. Since ancient times, the change of dynasties has been a common occurrence. If a king is not benevolent, there will naturally be resistance and retribution.

But Jiang Chu was not too interested, just said with a smile: "You know quite a lot, you used to be a wanderer."

Ji Yao's eyes darkened a little, he responded softly, picked up his teacup and took a sip: "It's getting late, let's go home."

"it is good."

-

Renfu.

Ren Jiaoyuan can't go out now, and she doesn't dare to go out casually, for fear of bumping into Jiang Chu again and letting that dead girl go to report the news again, wouldn't she be able to escape another beating?

The last time her father beat her, she couldn't get out of bed for half a month, and she didn't want to suffer it again.

Jiang Chu!

Thinking of this name, Ren Jiaoyuan gritted her teeth in hatred, all her tragedies now come from this damned woman!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the voice of the little maid: "Miss, Jiang Tao has brought it."

Afterwards, Jiang Tao came in timidly.

Ren Jiaoyuan's eyes seemed to be poisoned, she looked at the little girl in front of her and sneered, "It's pretty quick."

Because she hated Jiang Chu, she naturally hated Jiang Tao very much.

Jiang Tao turned pale, shook her body, and was speechless.

All the way here, she was trembling, the little maid looked at her with sarcasm, mentioned the pair of men's shoes to her, and said that she would tell her sister, Ren Jiaoyuan really found out, she really found out!
So what should she do?Jiang Tao only felt that her mind was blank, and she couldn't think of any other ideas except fear.

Seeing her timid look, Ren Jiaoyuan felt more and more disdainful. Although she hated Jiang Chu, Jiang Chu also made her afraid. She also hated Jiang Tao, but Jiang Tao could only let her She despises.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

Jiang Tao said vigilantly: "I don't know."

Ren Jiaoyuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid you know too much? Come on, tell me, who are you going to make those shoes for?"

Jiang Tao's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly shook her head: "I didn't..."

"Nothing?" Ren Jiaoyuan laughed loudly: "Are you calling yourself? Are you trying to say that you really didn't want to make shoes for Ji Yao? You really didn't covet you at all." Brother-in-law?"

Jiang Tao's face turned pale in an instant, and she froze in place as if she had been petrified. If she had held even a shred of hope before, now she watched Ren Jiaoyuan ruthlessly keep the secret she kept in her heart. It was only when she poked it out that she felt the collapse like heaven and earth.
