peasant girl wedding

Chapter 233 Wang Tan
In the dark alley, there is a sour smell everywhere.

In a dilapidated and dilapidated house, there was a seductive fragrance faintly emanating from it.

Fragrance and sour are incompatible.

Soon, several burly men suddenly broke into the yard, hacking and smashing things in the yard.

"Hmph, the incense shop that poisons people to death wants to make something harmful again, but there is no door!"

One of them scolded.

In the corner, the sallow and thin boy clasped his knuckles angrily.

The big man noticed his strangeness, and poked the young man's shoulder heavily with the stick in his hand, causing the young man to stagger for a while.

"Stare, stare again, believe it or not, the uncle will dig out your eyeballs."

The young man bit his lower lip firmly, without saying a word, he just stared at the robber who came here every now and then with his angry eyes.

"Hey, you are brave enough to stare."

The young man's attitude annoyed the big man, he raised the stick in his hand and hit it down hard.

"Masters, my grandson is ignorant, so I ask your lords to be generous and let him go."

A haggard woman came out of the house, crying and begging for mercy.

The boy looked at the woman, and finally there were other emotions on his angry face.

"grandmother……"

"Hmph, you are sensible. Well, for the sake of you as an old man, we won't bother with him. It's just that he is really annoying. If he is willing to sneak through me , I will spare him."

The big man pointed at his crotch and laughed loudly.

There were several big men standing behind him, with extremely wretched smiles on their faces.

The boy bit his lower lip firmly, controlling the anger that wanted to tear these people apart, and remained motionless.

The old lady was also very angry.

Do these people have to destroy her grandson's only dignity and pride?
"What? You don't do it? Then don't blame me for doing it. Brothers, hit me!"

"stop!"

The woman's yell came.

Everyone in the courtyard looked up.

At the door, a woman came at some unknown time.

The woman is in her cardamom age, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like cold stars, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her waist is full of bunches, showing the style of a girl and a young woman.

"Where is the chick from?"

The big man smiled wretchedly.

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind passed by, and the big man didn't know what happened, but he was trampled under his feet.

"who are you?"

Seeing this, the rest of the people stared angrily at the man who suddenly appeared.

The man's face was expressionless, and his eyes were cold.

"Brothers, come on. We have so many people here, why are you afraid of him alone?"

The rest of the big men rushed up with sticks.

There was only a crackling sound and a rhythmic "Ouch" sound, but after a while, those people who said they were going to beat Ji Li all confessed to the ground.

"roll."

The big man didn't dare to stay any longer, he hurriedly got up from the ground, and immediately rolled away.

"Girl, son, thank you for your help."

The old lady came over and said gratefully to Tong Zhi'er and Ji Li.

Tong Zhi'er smiled, smelling the scent that hadn't dissipated in the courtyard, opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise, "Are you making incense powder?"

The smile on the old woman's face stopped, she shook her head and said, "No, no."

Tong Zhi'er's eyes fell on a large vat that had been smashed in the yard.

In the vat, the steaming spices were already covered with dust and various debris, making it extremely dirty.

The young man squatted down, tidying up with trembling hands.

"Are you the descendant of Wang Family Fragrance?"

Tong Zhi'er looked at the boy and asked.

Before the boy could answer, the old woman shook her head eagerly, "Girl, we don't know anyone from Wang Family Fragrance Workshop. If there is nothing else, we have to clean up the yard. Girl, please go ahead."

The old woman's attitude of driving people away, and her excitement when she heard Tong Zhi'er's words "Wangjiaxiangfang", were all due to the fact that there is no silver 300 taels here.

Tong Zhi'er is certain that the boy in front of him is the heir of Wang Family Fragrance Workshop.

She looked at the young man, and continued, "I heard that Wang's Fragrance Shop is a centuries-old perfumery store. Benefits, the use of poisonous spices, causing the skin of those who used it to fester. The victims sued the Wangjia Xiangfang to the Yamen, the head of the Wang family and his wife committed suicide in fear of crime, and the government confiscated all the property of the Wangjiaxiangfang. The Wang family has now withered, and there is no Wang family in the world Xiangfang."

"What is greed for profit? What is committing suicide in fear of crime? This is all a conspiracy of those people, they are jealous of my royal family!"

The young man roared angrily.

"Tan'er, what are you talking about?"

The old woman was shocked.

The young man glared at Tong Zhi'er angrily, "Our Wang family acts openly and aboveboard, and we will never do such things that are greedy for small gains and harm others or ourselves."

"Well, I believe it."

The young man glanced at Tong Zhi'er indifferently, squatted down, and then cleaned up the spices in the broken vat.

The face is cold, but the boy's heart is full of ups and downs.

How long has he not been so angry and yelled at others like this?

Ever since Xiangfang discovered a batch of poisonous rouge gouache, his parents committed suicide one after another, and the government sealed up Xiangfang, he has kept silent and lived in seclusion with his grandmother in the downtown area.

As soon as the common people mentioned Wangjiaxiangfang, hatred and anger came one after another.

Grandma asked him to promise that she would not avenge the Wang family in her lifetime.

Because he is just one person, and those people are too powerful.

If he wanted to take revenge, those people could kill him with just a flick of a finger.

Grandma didn't want a white-haired man to send a black-haired man, so she made him swear.

However, how can he be reconciled?
The enemy is not far away, the hatred of parents has not been reported, and the Wang Family Fragrant House has been reviled and insulted by the people for a hundred years. As a member of the royal family, how could he just watch the Wang Family Fragrance House being humiliated and declining!
However, if you are not reconciled, what can you do?

In this world, he only had grandma as his relative, and even for grandma, he wanted to suppress his hatred.

"Go, you go, you are not a good person, go!"

While Wang Tan was thinking, Mrs. Wang pushed Tong Zhi'er towards the door forcefully.

Tong Zhi'er looked at Wang Tan and said loudly:
"I plan to open a rouge shop, but there is a shortage of a perfumer in the shop, would you like to come?"

Wang Tan paused.

Mrs. Wang was also stunned.

Seeing this, Tong Zhi'er bypassed him, walked to Wang Tan's side again, and said persistently: "Don't worry, I will pay you fairly."

Wang Tan looked up at her and said expressionlessly, "I won't hide my name."

Tong Zhi'er nodded, "I never thought of asking you to remain anonymous."

Mrs. Wang walked to Tong Zhi'er, "Girl, what do you want to do?"

"Old lady, as you heard, I plan to open a rouge shop, but I don't know how to make incense, nor can I make rouge powder, so I need a perfumer."

Mrs. Wang was stunned, and then said: "There are so many capable people and strange people in the capital, the girl is just looking for someone else, why bother making fun of us?"

Tong Zhi'er shook her head, "Madam, I'm not joking."

"Then why do you want my grandson to come to your store? Since you know who we are, you should also understand how the people in Wangjiaxiangfang are reviled and hated by the people."

Tong Zhi'er nodded again, "As the old lady's grandson said just now, the Wang Family Fragrance Shop will not do things that harm its own interests, others or itself. I believe in the craftsmanship of the Wang family, and even more in the character of the Wang family. "

Mrs. Wang looked at Tong Zhi'er in surprise.

This girl is young, but her aura is not to be underestimated!
Wang Tan stood up and said, "Okay, since you know everything, I will be the incense maker in your shop."

While speaking, a hint of pleasure flashed across his brows.

Tong Zhi'er smiled slightly, "My shop is currently being renovated, and it will be completed in about a month. I am making arrangements for the rest. I will come to you in ten days. This is a month's wages. You take it."

Tong Zhi'er took out five taels of silver from her pocket, put it in Wang Tan's hand, and turned to go out with Ji Li.

In the courtyard, Wang Tan held the warm silver and was in a daze.

.........

"When I go back, I will check the matter of Wang Family Fragrance Square carefully."

Ji Li said to Tong Zhier.

Tong Zhi'er nodded and looked at him gratefully, "Thank you."

Send Tong Zhi'er back to the house, and Ji Li returns to the mansion.

"Sir, are you back?"

The boy waiting at the door said happily.

"Well, you call all the guards in my yard over."

"Yes, son."

……

Wang Tan sat in the yard, dazed in a daze.

The yard has been swept clean, and the mess from that day can no longer be seen.

Nine days have passed since that day.

Wang Tan's heart tensed slightly.

The girl said she would come back to him tomorrow.

Then, he can make incense like his parents and Wang family's grandparents!
Wang Tan closed his eyes, all kinds of spices floating in front of his eyes.

Duheng, Gansong, Suhe, Anxi, Tulip, Heluo, Clove, Agarwood, Sandalwood, Angelica dahurica, Fennel, Asarum, Rhubarb, Frankincense, Rose Petal, Borneol, Ambergris...

These names flashed through his mind one by one, and every time he silently said a word, Wang Tan's heart trembled violently.

"Tan'er, come over for dinner."

Mrs. Wang shouted from the inside.

Wang Tan stood up and walked into the house with big strides.

After dinner, after chatting for a while, Wang Tan went back to his room.

Lying on the bed, he tossed and turned, without closing his eyes all night.

When the third cock crowed, Wang Tan couldn't help turning over and getting out of bed, and went to the kitchen to sort out the spices he had picked.

He tidied up very seriously, and he didn't even know when Mrs. Wang got up.

Mrs. Wang looked at him, feeling sore in her heart.

This kid must be thinking of revenge.

However, compared to revenge, she cared more about the child's life, the last incense of the Wang family.

That girl, Mrs. Wang, who knows countless people, can feel it, and she doesn't have any malice.

This is also the reason why she can safely let Wang Tan go to work with that girl.
