Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 24

The beauty seemed to see Zhang Mu's doubts, and nodded in surprise. She didn't expect to change the environment of the master, and she even had a low IQ, so she just realized it now.Continue to paw and paw in the arms of the master!
Seeing that Zhang Mu frowned, Wu Ling asked with some doubts: "My lady, is there anything wrong with this cat?"

"No, it just feels very similar to the one I raised before! Mr., let's make it a more comfortable nest in a while!"

Seeing his wife looking at him with bright eyes, Wu Ling hurriedly nodded, "Okay!"

Zhang Mu then went to the street with Wu Ling, the house was new, there was not even any rags in the house, Zhang Mu's defective products were all left in Zhang's house, and even the needles and threads had to be bought.

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop saw Zhang Mu and Wu Ling coming together, and they were much more enthusiastic than before. They were doing business on the same street. The shopkeeper knew the little carpenter of the bamboo strip shop. The woman with the hair bun knew that this should be his new wife.He still has a little impression of Zhang Mu. In March, this little girl chased and beat an old woman. He also came out to watch the excitement. He seems to remember that the little carpenter was also in the crowd at that time!How dare he marry such a tough woman!
The shopkeeper stroked his sparse beard, and he had to sigh in his heart, it's true that radishes and vegetables have their own preferences!

Zhang Mu chose two thicker muslin fabrics, one in hibiscus color and the other in lotus root color. The colors of Wu Ling's clothing materials for himself before were too bright, except for a lake blue one that has not yet been made, and the red one. I made a wedding dress, a cherry red one made a skirt with scattered flowers all over the place, and a haze-colored one cut a top and a bottom skirt.It’s almost autumn, and the old autumn clothes are fine. Zhang Mu still wants to make two new winter clothes. She is more afraid of the cold. The original owner’s two winter clothes should have been worn for many years, and they are full of patches. The cotton batting is also very thin, and Zhang Mu feels that she will not be able to survive this winter with the clothes.It's better to do it earlier if you do it yourself slowly.

Remembering that Wu Ling said he likes blue, he chose dark blue and navy blue for Wu Ling.She also chose some silk threads of various colors. The silk thread Wu Ling prepared for her was better, the best in the store. Zhang Mu felt that it would be a waste to use it for daily practice, so he chose some ordinary silk threads.I picked another bag of rags, this time some silk, and went back to make some handkerchiefs.

Remembering to make cotton-padded clothes, he bought some more cotton. The old cotton was [-] cents a tael, and the new cotton was [-] cents a tael. The new cotton was softer. Zhang Mu felt that winter clothes should be softer and warmer, so he chose new cotton.

The shopkeeper saw that Zhang Mu had picked four bolts of muslin at once, and his eyes were closed with a smile. Although his business was not bad, usually few people came to patronize him after the afternoon. He did not expect to make a fortune this afternoon. It's not a small business, so he waved his hand and said, "Take this rag as a gift from me, and I'll just come back next time! It's a total of two or seven dollars!" Although he was the only cloth shop in the town, the shopkeeper He has always paid attention to attracting customers, otherwise he would have to cry to death if he had a competitor in the future.

Zhang Mu then opened the purse. She had 15 taels of silver and 20 strings of copper coins on hand before. She used four strings of copper coins before, and there were 25 strings, plus the [-] taels that Mrs. Zhang gave her when she got married, a total of [-] taels. Add sixteen strings of copper coins.When she went out today, she brought five taels of silver and twenty copper coins, and immediately took out three taels.

Over there, Wu Ling was taking out the money. Seeing that his daughter-in-law had handed it over, he was a little confused for a moment, and said in surprise: "My lady, did you bring money with you when you went out?"

Seeing that the young couple had taken out their money, the shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Hey, I haven't handed in the money yet!" He shook his head at Zhang Mu, and took Wu Ling's money.

Seeing that Wu Ling was still looking at him with aggrieved eyes, Zhang Mu took back the money without saying anything.Weiwei told her before that a man's money should be spent when it should be spent. This is called investment cost, the higher the cost, the later he will have to estimate the price if he wants to change jobs.

There are a lot of things to buy, and the shopkeeper asked the little guy in the store, A Mian, to help them send them back.

Chu Rui was in a bad mood today, and was about to go to the cloth shop to choose a piece of material and go back to make two clothes, when she bumped into Wu Ling and his party, she quickly walked two steps towards Wu Ling, seeing Wu Ling looking up By herself, Chu Rui blushed and said to Wu Ling: "Brother Ling, are you out shopping today?!"

Wu Ling nodded and said, "Yes, I will go shopping with my wife."

Seeing that the girl didn't even say hello to him, Zhang Mu regarded himself as a transparent person. He pulled Wu Ling's sleeve and said, "Sir, you still can't go back! I have to go back and make a nest for the beauty!"

Seeing his daughter-in-law's soft tone, Wu Ling seemed to be acting like a spoiled child!Then he said to Chu Rui: "Sister of the Chu family, we have something to do when we go home, so let's take a step first!" The girl of the Chu family had a round face when she was young, and she was very cute and cute. I haven't seen her for two years, why do I feel a little Strange, how can a girl be so warm to men of the opposite sex, even though she is old, she should have some rules.

"Hey, brother Ling, who is the beauty?" Chu Rui ignored Zhang Mu and asked Wu Ling with a smile, as if she didn't hear Wu Ling's farewell words just now.

Wu Ling frowned unconsciously, "It's a cat!" After saying that, he went back with his wife without looking back.

Chu Rui stomped her feet, seeing Zhang Mu holding Wu Ling's arm, she suddenly smiled, what a happy woman, she was older than herself, her figure was far from her!She is a spoiled young lady, how can she be compared to a village woman.Thinking of this, he raised his heels and followed Wu Ling.

She had heard her mother say before when she was chatting with other aunts, "Women chase men's interlayer gauze", so if you take the initiative yourself, Brother Ling will naturally take her to heart.Now that Wu Ling was chosen, he had to persevere, and he couldn't delay any longer.

After entering the house, Amian put down the goods and said goodbye. Zhang Mu saw that the boy had two small dimples embedded in his round face, and he showed a pair of small canine teeth when he smiled. He was very pleasing, so he said : "Brother, sit down and drink a bowl of tea before leaving! It's time to rest your feet."

Amian quickly waved her hands and replied with a smile: "No, sister-in-law of the Wu family is being polite, you can't leave the shop without people!"

Hearing what he said, Zhang Mu didn't stay any longer.Wu Ling went out to send A Mian off, and when A Mian left, he was about to fasten the gate of the courtyard, but saw Chu Rui rushing to the door of his house panting, seeing him, he quickly stretched out his hand and waved at him, Wu Ling felt as if She smelled the scent of powder from the handkerchief embroidered with green lotus and pink lotus in her hand.

"Brother Ling, I want to come to your house to see the cat, is that okay?" He said, with two delicate expressions on his flushed face.

Even if Wu Ling treats Chu Rui as a sister next door, he feels something is wrong at this time. For a while, he feels that we all know each other, and it is unreasonable not to let him in, but he still wants to get along well with his wife alone. .

Zhang Mu also heard a girl's voice in the back room, and when he came out to look, he saw Chu Rui standing pretty at the door of his house, and Wu Ling standing in the courtyard, ready to close the door.Zhang Mu caught a glimpse of Chu Rui's pretty face, suppressed his displeasure, and asked politely, "I don't know what's the matter with the girl from the Chu family coming here?"

Chu Rui blinked her eyes twice, glanced at Zhang Mu's face, and said with a smile: "I'm bored at home. I heard Brother Ling said that he has a cat, so I wanted to come and have a look. Will my sister not let me in?"

After Zhang Mu heard this, he almost couldn't help laughing. The girl's thoughts were too obvious, so she impatiently put eye drops on herself in front of the husband, "What Miss Chu said, the person who came was There is no reason not to let the guest in!" Zhang Mu said without raising his eyelids.She really got goosebumps when she yelled at her sister.Ever since Li Xiuer called her sister in the letter, she was really insensitive to the word "sister"!
Hearing Chu Rui's words, Wu Ling frowned slightly, and seeing the lady let her in, he turned sideways to let Chu Rui in.

This is the second time for Chu Rui to come in. The first time was the day of Wu Ling's wedding. She didn't pay attention to this small courtyard in Wu Ling. Seeing the small plum sapling outside the west window is insignificant. Seeing a smile, she likes plum blossoms the most.Thinking about it in my heart, I brought it out, "Brother Ling, do you still remember that I like plum blossoms? When I was young, I used to circle around plum trees, and you were often afraid that I would fall."

Zhang Mu couldn't help but feel funny when he heard this, she is really a teenage girl, she really doesn't care about this idea!But I also felt that I was very responsive, and I was too lazy to deal with this girl, and said with a smile: "Since Miss Chu is here to see the cat, let's go into the house! The beauty is taking a nap!"

When Chu Rui entered the room, she saw a khaki-colored cat nestled on a chair, as if asleep, with its whiskers trembling, she couldn't help being a little surprised, isn't this the cat she kicked that day?It seems that it is not far from Ding's shop.Chu Rui's feet stopped at the entrance of the main room, her eyes turned around Zhang Mu's face again, she narrowed her eyes again, pulled the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "The family never keeps cats, I'm afraid they will scratch me, Unexpectedly, the sleeping appearance is so cute!" Turning around again, he asked Wu Ling, "Brother Ling, can you take me back and raise him for a few days?"

Seeing that Chu Rui came to his house, Wu Ling was a little tired of saying these familiar words to him. He was not familiar with her. He had only met her a few times when he was a child. Looking at himself, Wu Ling was suddenly blessed, wow, my lady is jealous!

Wu Ling responded, "Miss Chu, I'm really sorry, my wife likes it, so she won't lend it out."

"Brother Ling, can it only be two days?" Chu Rui blinked and said, biting her lower lip slightly.

Wu Ling shook his head and said, "If Miss Chu likes it, I'll ask my mother to find one for you next time. This is not acceptable." After speaking, he glanced at his daughter-in-law and saw that she still had a smile on her face. I can't help feeling a little anxious, my daughter-in-law wouldn't be so jealous, I just said a few words to this girl!

Wu Ling didn't know that in Zhang Mu's eyes, a man's rotten peach blossoms should not be solved by a woman. This is also the reason why she was more inclined to Wu Ling between Ding Da and Wu Ling. She is not married yet, and Wang Moli can He came to the door, and Ding Da didn't have an explanation afterwards.

However, she is already married, and when it is time to protect her own belongings, she still has to do something, and said with a slight smile: "Miss Chu, you have seen the beauty, we are just married, and there are still many things that need to be returned." After a while, I won’t keep you any longer, after a few days it’s cleaned up, and you come to visit again!”

This is the second time that Chu Rui was kicked out in this courtyard, her heart felt a little hot, she finally stopped shaking, took a breath and said: "I didn't come to see Sister Zhang Mu, you are in the mountains and countryside When you grow up, no one may have taught you what etiquette is, and I don't care about it like my sister, but Brother Ling and I grew up together, so even if my sister is a little jealous, I still have to restrain myself!"
