Chapter 20

Although Zhang Mantun talked to Shopkeeper Qin, his eyes did not ignore his wife's expression.He was worried that his daughter-in-law would feel uncomfortable seeing people, but he didn't expect her to be alive because of a bag of tea.Although I felt a little strange in my heart, I kept it in my heart after all, thinking that if I went to work in the county again, I must bring some real good tea back to my daughter-in-law.

Lin Baozhu wanted it in her heart, but she also knew that shopkeeper Qin would not be courteous for no reason, and the reason why he gave her tea was just for Zhang Mandun's face.So she didn't respond, but cast her eyes on Zhang Mandun.

Now that she has become her wife, no matter whether her relationship with him is a business partnership or a true love for each other, at least she can't hold him back in dealing with others.If it would hinder him from doing things, no matter what kind of object it is, she would not care about it, after all, she could earn her own tea to enjoy if she had hands and feet.

Seeing Lin Baozhu's gaze, Zhang Mantun understood her meaning almost instantly, and inadvertently felt a warmth in his heart.Looking at those bright and clean eyes, he could even feel his heartbeat about to explode.For a moment, he felt that as long as his wife could live like this every day, he would give anything.

What's more, the daughter-in-law has never asked for anything, and now she has a rare item, no matter what happens, she can't be disappointed.

"Then thank Shopkeeper Qin for his kindness."

As soon as Zhang Mantun's words fell, it happened that the cashier took the money, and the money and goods were settled, and the two of them couldn't stay any longer, so they left immediately.

The shopkeeper Qin even sent people out of the tavern politely.This time it's not all about Zhang Mantun's face, but because of the appearance of Lin Baozhu's seemingly inconspicuous woman receiving and drinking tea just now. , not like ordinary ignorant women.

For such a person, either he has hidden himself, or he has been taught by an expert.Therefore, no matter whether it is emotional or reasonable, he is unwilling to leave a bad impression on people for being top-notch.You know, the world-famous Beiquan Niang is made by a peasant woman. When the master took him to taste the wine, he was not the shopkeeper but an apprentice.Also because of the relationship with Beiquan Niang, the master not only became one of the best squires in the county, but also donated a Yuanwailang to do it.

He didn't seek that kind of good luck, but he also wanted to save his favor. If there were benefits in the future, he would be happy, and if there were no benefits, he would make Zhang Mandun think of himself for his own good.

Otherwise, people in business have a lot of thoughts, but they can think so much about a bag of tea.

With money on his body, Zhang Mandun took his wife around.He was a person who didn't like to care about expenses, so when he saw a jewelry stall, he simply took his wife and walked away.

The stall owner was busy yelling, so he was naturally happy to see the customers coming, and he spoke nicely in one voice.He still hadn't forgotten the sales of some inexpensive but fine hairpins. Zhang Mantun didn't quite understand those gaudy things, but he heard that women like to dress up, so he asked his wife to choose them.

"I'm not used to wearing these, but it's time to change the wooden combs at home, so let's take one with me." Lin Baozhu looked at the things on the booth, most of them were wooden hairpins, and the better ones were silver hairpins. hairpin.But when she thought of her family's situation and the three taels of silver she had just exchanged, she felt a bit painful to buy these flickering and useless items.

Now she doesn't have any skills to subsidize her family, and Zhang Mandun has injuries on her body, and it must be difficult to make money in this world, otherwise, with Zhang Mandun's skills, can she live so poorly?
I also blamed Zhang Mantun for not telling her in detail that he was the one who didn't care about it before, so he didn't bring anything out when he left the old house.In addition, there were some secrets that he didn't want to talk about, so he didn't save money.But now that he is married, he can't treat money as nothing like in the past.

Zhang Mantun watched his daughter-in-law's careful selection of wooden combs, and saw that many women who came over were rare for those few silver hairpins, so he bought a hollow pomegranate flower hairpin directly when paying.

He doesn't know how to say sweet words, let alone say sweet words to make people happy. He only handed the cloth bag wrapped in hairpins to his daughter-in-law with a twinkle in his eyes, and then said: "I didn't buy it for you when I got married." What, this is considered a wedding ceremony."

It was obviously a good thing, but because of his tightly wrinkled thick eyebrows, he made it a little serious, but even though there was some awkward expression on his face, he looked at Lin Baozhu stubbornly and firmly in his eyes.In all fairness, he couldn't tell what was so good about his wife, but he felt that there was someone by his side who could shed tears for him and was able to wait for him to go home.

Lin Baozhu tilted her head, as if she didn't expect this man to have such thoughts, and didn't want to see him holding the hairpin seriously with a stern face when she looked up.In addition, the stall owner on the side kept congratulating her, and said that pomegranate flowers symbolize more children and more blessings, which made her feel ashamed, and her face couldn't help but blush.

"It's a big crowd, there are so many people, you don't know how to restrain yourself." Lin Baozhu gave the man with a habitually cold face a reproachful look, and then reached out to take the hairpin over.It's not that she doesn't understand romance, it's just that there are so many people around, if he really wants to wear it for her, let alone what will happen to him, even Lin Baozhu will feel ashamed.

Looking at the big empty hand in a daze, Zhang Mandun felt a little indescribably frustrated, and the expression on his face became even more indifferent.The tightly furrowed eyebrows seemed to reveal some doubts in his heart.

It's true to say that he has very little experience with men and women, and at most he listens to his brothers bragging.Then there is the six sons, the dog-headed military division, who helps the staff and staff, saying that the staff is actually just saying a few words to Zhang Mandun according to the wit and beauty in the script.In fact, how did Liu Zi think that this black-faced boss of his family would actually try to curry favor with a woman one day.If he knew, maybe he would teach it to the boss, and directly overlord the king to force his bow, showing the posture he used to fight against other hills.

Anyway, Zhang Mandun's wish to buy a pearl hairpin and bring it to his daughter-in-law in person according to the scriptures and teachings of the six sons has come to nothing.Thinking of this, he couldn't help thinking about Pringles, enduring his embarrassment and thinking about going to visit Liu Zi again in a few days.

Lin Baozhu didn't know what Zhang Mantun was thinking, let alone that the seemingly rude and emotionless man would be troubled by such a small matter.And what she didn't know was that there was a tearful woman looking at her in front of a stall not far away, especially when she saw Zhang Mandun, she was extremely sad.

Zhang Mandun, who has a keen sense like a beast, sensed someone's gaze, turned his head suddenly, but only saw an empty noodle stall, and looked around and found nothing wrong.Others may think that the people coming and going may be delusional, but Zhang Mandun is different, he has escaped from death not once or twice by virtue of his agility.Immediately, the coyness that had just arisen dissipated a lot, and even the faint blush on his face cooled down again.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Baozhu also looked around a few times, but didn't see anything wrong, so she looked at the black-faced man in bewilderment and asked what was wrong.

Because of such an accident, Zhang Mandun's mind was no longer on wandering, he wondered if something went wrong with Zhang Erbao's arrangement he had arranged?But even if there is a mistake, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's Zhang Erbao or his cronies, as long as he dares to confront him, he will never return.

Thinking in this way, his eyes turned to the rare daughter-in-law in front of the stall again.If that person dares to take advantage of his own wife again, let him have a taste of regret.

Speaking of Zhang Erbao, how could he care about troublesome Lin Baozhu now?He is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he cannot protect himself.

No, just sneaked into Widow Du's house in Ten Mile Fort, before she had time to enjoy the sweetness, she was blocked in the house by an aunt who came to visit Widow Du.That aunt also had a big mouth, so she immediately started making noise, and even called back the Du family's mother-in-law who had just gone to the field to deliver food to her old man.

Now the two of them are not just naked and surrounded by people on the kang, even an honest and good-tempered person like the Du family's mother-in-law is angrily rushing towards them, cursing and beating people.And old man Du even put aside his business, and picked up the pole.

Although Shilipu has mixed surnames, he is from a village after all. Everyone can see him without looking up, so he shouldn't let a foreigner bully him anyway.Look, that person didn't come once or twice, otherwise how could he sneak into the house while the old couple of the Du family were away?But the widow Du didn't see her shouting either.

With this consensus, which of the people around at the moment would dare to say good things to Widow Du?If you can't keep your filial piety, it's fine if you left your in-law's house early, or it's just a reason for your in-law's family to look down on you because you lost a man.You were born to eat at your in-law’s house, and your in-laws feel ashamed of you because of their son’s early death, and they are tight on you everywhere, and all food and drink expenses are brought to you, and you don’t even need to intervene in all the work in the fields. I just ask you Safely and securely observe the year's filial piety to the end.Who would have thought that after serving him so carefully, he still turned out a white-eyed wolf.

At this moment, Lizheng from Shilibao also came, and his face was very ugly, especially when he saw people who came to see the fun and people from other villages who came to visit relatives, it tore the minds of Widow Du and the adulterer. gave birth.He was such a jerk, he could even imagine what the Ten Mile Fort would be like in the village near Zhuantou.

Not to mention Li Zheng, there are some new widows in the village, and some women who have been living in their in-laws' house for many years without a man are even more disgusted with Du widow's style.Now if this matter gets out, maybe outsiders will look at them in a wrong way, and I'm afraid it will be affected in the future.
