Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 29

When the two of them were cooking in the kitchen at night, Zhang Mu and Wu Ling talked about Chu Rui, and asked while washing the rice: "Sister, tell me, why did their family ask me to go? The last time Chu Rui The girl didn't give me a good look at my house!"

Wu Ling was blanching the pork ribs with hot water. Seeing his daughter-in-law frowning, she said with a smile, "Don't worry about it, my lady. If it's a good friend, it's okay to go to see a doctor. It's just that the girl from the Chu family treats you a bit biased, and the lady still treats you at home." I'll make clothes!" Ever since Zhang Mu said he would make clothes for him, Wu Ling has been thinking about this matter, and there are some things at home these days, so he didn't urge Zhang Mu, and now he still can't help but mention it.

"Okay, Mrs., I will cut the clothes with my mother tomorrow." Zhang Mu said something about cutting clothes to Ding Erniang today. Do needlework together.

The beauty rolled around on Zhang Mu's feet, the white hair on her belly was dyed gray, Zhang Mu looked at the beauty helplessly, "The beauty likes to roll so much, I have to cut two small clothes for her." Zhang Mu said while pouring the rice into the pot.

Wu Ling glanced at the cat that was still lying on the ground, and saw that it held its head up, with a very satisfied expression, walked up to Zhang Mu's side without any trace, and gently rubbed the beauty twice with its feet.

"Meow! Meow!" You abused me!
Zhang Mu was startled by the beauty's tearing and screaming. He lowered his head and saw that the beauty was looking at him watery with eyes open, as if tears were about to fall at any moment. He was a little surprised at the moment, so he turned around and asked Wu Ling: "Sanggong, did you notice what happened to the beauty just now? Why is it called so miserable?"

Wu Ling touched his nose guiltily, "Ma'am, I'm making ribs, I don't have time to deal with it." It's really a hypocritical cat, so he just touched it lightly, trying to drive it away from the lady's feet. , As for crying so miserably!Seeing the cat looking at him angrily, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed at the moment, did he really use too much force?
In the evening, the beauty additionally tasted Wuling's stewed radish and ribs soup.

Zhang Mu and Wu Ling didn't care about the Chu family's affairs, but after dinner, the wife of the Chu family came to the door again. There was light in the yard, and it was obvious that there was someone at home, so Zhang Mu had no choice but to ask Wu Ling to open the door.

On the day of the wedding, Mrs. Chu also came, but Zhang Mu didn’t have much impression of her. Maybe she didn’t come to the wedding room. At this moment, under the candlelight, the woman Zhang Mu saw was wearing a ginger-yellow cloud pattern skirt with twigs. Wearing a lingyun bun, paired with gold silk inlaid with gemstones, sapphire hollowed out double luan peonies, and two golden hairpins inserted in the bun, Zhang Mu glanced at her, and suddenly looked at her like a jewel-colored lady. Blessed to my soul, I have countless visits to her.

"I don't know why Mrs. Chu is here so late, why is there something urgent?" Zhang Mu asked with a smile on his face.

"It's so late, I'm bothering you, but this matter is really urgent," said Mrs. Chu, looking at Zhang Mu with burning eyes, as if she was waiting for her to ask.She had inquired clearly a long time ago that Mrs. Zhang had a soft heart, and treated the daughter of the woman who robbed her of marriage very well.

Zhang Mu didn't seem to see Mrs. Chu's expectation, "Sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen and bring you a bowl of tea!" After speaking, he got up.

Mrs. Chu didn't expect that this little woman would not answer the conversation at all, she couldn't help but secretly wondered, could it be that she had heard something wrong, but this matter was a joint effort between her and her daughter, there would never be a third person to know .Immediately he was settled again, got up and took Zhang Mu's hand and said: "Good boy, how can I drink tea now? What is the name, that girl just wants to call you to go over and talk with her! Tell me, what should I do?"

Zhang Mu looked at Mrs. Chu's feigned sadness, and felt disdainful in her heart. If a daughter had an unexpected illness, she would dress up before going out in shock. The bun on her head was not messy at all. Yes, you can walk a few steps without breaking out in a sweat. This is the second trip for Mrs. Chu, and she is still very tidy!
"Mrs. Chu, your daughter and I just met once. It was the day I got married, and there were so many people. I didn't even know what she looked like. She said a few words to me, but I really I still don’t know who it is? I don’t know how your daughter wants to see me?” Zhang Mu withdrew Madam Chu’s hand and said with a smile.Since Mrs. Chu came to her as if you two were good sisters, she wouldn't mention that Chu Rui came to her house to find trouble, so she could just push it away and save herself after a while. Said he was angry with himself.

Mrs. Chu didn't expect Zhang's mouth to be a little sharp, and the smile on her face couldn't help but fade away, saying: "A Ling and Rui'er grew up together, she really wants to have a good time with your sister-in-law!" She must let Mrs. Zhang enter Chu's house tonight.

"Mrs. Chu's family, what a coincidence today. I have been busy outside with my husband for a day, and now I don't want to move my tired feet. I am about to wash up and go to bed! Since sister Chu's illness has not been reported yet, I It's not good to bother her rashly, it's better to let her rest and recuperate." Zhang Mu saw that Mrs. Chu didn't give up and didn't bother to socialize, so his mother told her to ignore it, so she didn't have to worry about it.

"You little lady, why are you so hard-hearted! My Rui'er and you are not strangers who have never met before, why are you so ungrateful! You don't want to do such a thing!" Mrs. Chu saw Zhang Mu like this. It was so difficult to speak, and he was unwilling to show mercy, so he looked at Zhang Mu angrily.

"Msanggong, come here quickly! Come here quickly!" Zhang Mu shouted towards the west room.Mrs. Chu said that she wanted to talk to Zhang Mu alone, so Wu Ling avoided going to the west room. Anyway, in his own home, his wife is not soft-tempered, so he didn't worry about her getting hurt. A small bed saves you having to slip into your wife's arms every night.

Wu Ling was also distracted to pay attention to the movement in the main room. When he saw the lady calling him, he immediately put down the hatchet and walked over in two or three steps. Seeing Mrs. Chu looking at his lady angrily, he felt a little unhappy. It's really sick, why one or two ran to their own house to show their prestige!

"Is the aunt of the Chu family going back?" Wu Ling asked directly as if he didn't see Mrs. Chu's ugly face.The Chu family will never be let in again.

"A Ling, you have to take good care of your daughter-in-law. I begged her to go and see Rui'er, but she started talking sarcasticly." Mrs. Chu couldn't help saying something when she saw Wu Ling looking softly at Mrs. Zhang.Such a harmonious little woman, not to mention older than Rui'er, her figure is also quite different from Rui'er!Why did Wu Ling fall in love with her in the first place!
Wu Ling had long been impatient with this woman from the Chu family, and seeing her still pointing fingers at his house, he felt even more annoyed, "Auntie Chu, since sister Chu is ill, you should take good care of her at home and come here so late. Coming to my house is of no use to the sister of the Chu family! Besides, I won't let Amu go out at this late hour, you should go back early!"

Mrs. Chu never thought that Wu Ling would dare to talk to her like this. He is just a little apprentice of Bamboo Strip Shop, so she really thinks she can't do anything to him! "Wu Ling, Rui'er is very sick now. She said she wants to see Mrs. Zhang. If she doesn't come with me today, I won't go." Mrs. Chu swept her sleeves and sat down again.

"Okay, since Auntie Chu doesn't want to go home, you can rest at my house for one night!" After finishing speaking, Wu Ling dragged Zhang Mu to the east room. You can't do it, but it's okay to ignore it!Tomorrow, I will have a good talk with my old man about this matter.

Seeing that Wu Ling had left like this, the lady of the Chu family was anxious and angry, so Zhao Wen was still at her house!If she didn't coax Mrs. Zhang over, how could this plan work out? She promised Zhao Wen 200 taels of silver. Zhao Wen said he was a scholar, but he was also very treacherous. He actually asked her for 50 taels first. If it can't be done, won't her 50 taels of silver be in vain!
The wind blew in from the door, and the candle light flickered twice, but luckily it didn't go out. Mrs. Chu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly heard the child crying, panicked for no reason, and hurried out, because she shouldn't let the relevant people know, she had to go out alone, I was in a hurry, but tripped over something.Looking down, she saw a pair of green eyes, and her heart was suddenly excited, she lifted her skirt and ran away in a hurry.
