Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 76

The lace of Mrs. Qu's family and Mrs. Wang suddenly attracted all the attention of the women. What kind of women's school, Mrs. Su, uh, that's been a long time ago, okay?
Mrs. Qu has always been a biting person, and she has always had noses and eyes that are not eyes with many women in Dongdajie. Once she falls into the water, everyone can't wait to go home and burn incense sticks. Thank God for eyes!
On the fourth day, everyone realized, oh, there is no meat to eat!
Butcher Wang was stern. He forced out other butchers who sold meat before. He was the only one in the big vegetable market on East Street doing the pork business. Before, everyone was afraid of Butcher Wang’s power. Now that he disappeared, some people would curse Said: "Young lady, I'm happy to eat and drink enough, so I don't even want to have a tooth sacrifice!"

The stalls in the vegetable market are all fixed, and Butcher Wang is at the innermost. He is the only one selling meat in the entire vegetable market. He is not afraid that the deep alleys will cover up the taste of meat!
The four women who came out to buy vegetables together in Linglong Alley were cursing Wang Butcher and Mrs. Qu, and the women who were much taller than their companions said: "The bitch is shameless and cheated everyone!"

The woman next to her with a few pock marks on her face was not planning to buy meat at first, but when she saw that her companion was very angry, she also scolded with righteous indignation: "Isn't it! Three catties of meat!"

Hearing this, the tall woman glanced disdainfully at the purse held by her companion, and the contempt in her heart was even worse, "How can there be a hundred dollars in such a thin purse?"

The other two women in the back also covered their mouths and laughed unceremoniously!
The face of the pockmarked woman turned pale and white. Looking at the women with sneers on their faces, she deliberately squeezed the purse in her hand, and said in surprise, "Oh, I forgot to bring the money out today!" Fortunately, the butcher didn’t come!”

Two days later, the people who came to the vegetable market to buy vegetables suddenly found that the bloody smell of pork that had disappeared for a few days was wafting in the vegetable market again. Everyone looked inside, hey, Wang Butcher's stall is still empty, take a closer look Sniff, only to find that there is also a meat stall opposite Wang Butcher!

The meat seller is also a thick-backed man. After being hooked by gluttons for a few days, everyone smelled the smell of meat for no reason. People who were not planning to buy meat came to see the knife. No, the incision is smooth and neat, which is on par with Butcher Wang, hey, it only costs 28 Wen a catty!It's a full two pennies cheaper than Butcher Wang's!Buy meat and get a handful of shallots!
Ding Da’s first day out of the stall was very smooth. The meat was sold out before noon, and there was nothing left in the basket of shallots in the bamboo basket. Ding Da threw two pig’s trotters into the box and looked at it. On a sunny day, you can go home for lunch.

Carrying the two rear pig's trotters that were purposely left behind, he walked through an alley, and suddenly saw many people surrounded in front of him. Ding Da was only thinking about going back to stew the pig's trotters, but he didn't pay much attention. He and Xianglan really got married yesterday After leaving the room, for some reason in my heart, I kept scratching my heart and wanting to go back to see her!
"My lord! I didn't steal anything! You arrested the wrong person!" A woman's mournful cry came from the crowd, and Ding Da paused slightly. She seemed to be a woman who came to buy meat this morning. Man, he is quite tall!

Ding Da glanced sideways, there were too many people at the entrance of the alley, and he could only see the words "Linglong Alley" on the top!Ding Da shook his head and went back!

Arriving at Liuye Lane, Ding Da hesitated a little, seeing his wife, what should he say?He didn't care about her begging last night, the more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt, he stood at the door and didn't knock for a long time!

"Ada, I saw you standing at the door of the house from a distance, why don't you knock on the door!"

Ding Erniang came from behind and said strangely when she saw Ding Daqi.

Ding Da stood at the door blushing, holding two pig's trotters, as if his heart had been peeped out, and he was embarrassed to look at his second aunt.

"Mother, uncle, why don't you knock on the door?" Zhang Mu opened the courtyard door with a bang, and said to the two, "I heard your voices inside!"

"Hey, Amu, just now Azhu sent a message from the academy, explaining that he wants to invite the students in the academy to have a light meal. I'm coming back to get the money. I saw Ada, but I forgot about it!" Ding Erniang Suddenly remembered that she came back to get money!
While going inside, he sighed: "This man is old and his memory is bad!"

Zhang Mu looked at her mother-in-law's brisk footsteps, she didn't have the symptoms of being old and forgetful, thinking about the smile on her mother-in-law's face that hadn't faded for several days after Azhu passed the exam, he couldn't help touching her stomach, and she didn't know about this child. Is it a son or a daughter.

Zhang Mu was immersed in his longing, and suddenly felt that the eyes on the top of his head were a little hot, and when he looked up, he saw Ding Da still standing in front of him, suppressing the slight discomfort in his heart, "Uncle, why don't you come in the house?" ?”

Ding Da was suddenly awakened by this uncle, shouldn't he go to find Xianglan! "Oh, I was just about to ask my siblings, is Xianglan in the house or has she gone to the academy?"

"I'm busy working under the kitchen!" Seeing the bamboo basket Ding put down, the hair on the two pig's trotters inside has faded away, and he said with a smile, "Is this for today's food? I'll take it! Uncle is also going to rest a while!"

Ding Da silently passed the end of the straw rope tied with the pig's trotters to Zhang Mu, and saw the little woman who was more than six months old slowly enter the kitchen, and the laughter of the daughter-in-law immediately came from inside. "Cousin, I haven't eaten pig's trotters for a few days. Today, one is braised in soy sauce and the other is stewed with soybeans, okay?"

Ding Da put the empty bamboo basket on the porch and went into the house.

The beauty nestled in the corridor, looked at Ding Da's back, and vomited a bubble in infinite melancholy!
How nice it would be to sell fish!
Wu Ling did not come back at noon, and the bamboo strip shop had already opened. On the west side of the first floor, there were some bamboo baskets, small wooden stools, dustpans, etc., and on the east side were large cabinets and samples of cupboards. The semicircular door is hollowed out at the connecting part. When not busy, Ding Erniang can greet the two rooms at the counter of the Westinghouse on weekdays.

At this time, Ding Erniang took the money, and went directly to Wangxiang Tower to book two tables of banquets for tomorrow. Wangxiang Tower is considered the best restaurant in the town, and a table with less noodles costs one tael of silver, and more There are five taels and ten taels, Ding Erniang gritted her teeth and ordered three taels!
Xiaoer received Erliang's deposit, sent Erniang Ding away, and hurriedly went to the back kitchen to say hello to the chef, "Master, the shopkeeper explained that the two tables are set by the little scholar of Ding's family. Be careful!"

The master chef, who was rolling up his sleeves and stirring up the vegetables, glared impatiently at Xiao Er, "When will I stop cooking! It's too busy!"

The slender Xiaoer shrank his neck, half-hidden behind the door, poked his head and said, "Well, you have a big temper, what are you talking about!"

Seeing that the master grunted and chirped and didn't answer the conversation, Xiao Er reluctantly went back to the front to greet the guests.

The master rolled his eyes at Xiao Er's back, this shopkeeper is too sharp, even a little scholar is showing his favor like this!

In the evening, in the Huafu, Hua Yi hurried into the wing room, and saw that the master was taking off her makeup, and her big sapphire earrings were shining brightly in the candlelight. Sigh, this woman who has collected a lot of jewels, what kind of virtue must have accumulated in her previous life, so that she can have such a blessing in this life!
"Is something wrong?" Seeing the personal maid in the mirror, Hua Shi went back and forth, opened her red lips, and asked casually.

Huayi took half a step forward in black-soled powder-faced embroidered shoes, and reported: "Mrs. Back, just now the shopkeeper of Wangxiang Tower came to report that Mrs. Ding has booked two tables for Ding Zhu tomorrow. The shopkeeper came to ask you for instructions. Don’t need to raise the standard?”

"Well, let's do it according to the ten taels, don't pay attention to bird's nest and shark's fin, so as not to let Ah Zhu find out, in the future, Ding's family will be fine!" Huashi took off the last distraction from her hair, her hair dark Her hair fell down to her knees in an instant.

Huayi winked at the little girl who was waiting by her side, and that girl stepped forward with a comb to untangle Hua's hair over and over again!

Zhang Mu changed into loose clothes and got into bed. Wu Ling held her by the shoulders and said, "Ma'am, I heard from a visitor today that there was a woman in Linglong Lane who committed theft and was arrested by the yamen. How can I?" Thinking about it, it seems like someone did it on purpose!"

In the past few days, I haven't heard any voices talking about the Women's School anymore!
He would not believe it if he said that there was no one secretly helping him!
Zhang Mu looked at Wu Ling as if he had seen through some secret, and couldn't bear to hurt his self-esteem, so he said politely: "Sir, you can see what big cousin is doing these few days?"

Wu Ling's expression changed, didn't he, his cousin went wherever he went a few days ago, and he looked like he was doing nothing all day long, but these days, he really didn't follow him around, could it be possible, "Ma'am, Is the Naqu family also a big cousin?"

Wu Ling felt his heart beating a little faster, is his cousin already that strong?
The admiration and loneliness on Wu Ling's face fell into Zhang Mu's eyes one by one. The young master of the aristocratic family was doomed from the day his grandfather was exiled. He would not be with his cousin, or even his younger brother. , with such a strong wrist!

"My cousin, my cousin grew up in a different environment from ours, and the way he handles things is also different. You don't have to underestimate yourself. In my heart, my cousin has always been very powerful!"

Zhang Mu leaned against Wu Ling's arms, speaking softly.

"Miss, I understand, but I will study hard!" Wu Ling stroked his wife's soft hair and secretly made up his mind. He, his wife, and their children would no longer just stay in the small town. As they established a foothold in the county day by day, right and wrong happened, and there was no shortage of them. It was impossible for him to rely on his cousin to protect his family all the time.

This is a man's responsibility!

"Meow, meow!"

The beauty wagged her tail and nestled beside Wu Ling, reminding her of its existence.

"Miss, are you really not going to let it go down?" Wu Ling's male blood gushing out just now disappeared without a trace when he was called out by the beauty. He stared at the ancestor next to him, feeling like his heart was bleeding!

"Meow! Meow!" Seeing that her master was silent, the beauty yelled at Wu Ling confidently, her little head raised slightly, full of arrogance and pride!
In the warm and quiet night of Ding's family, no one thought that the youngest son who placed the whole family's hope would experience the pool of water in the officialdom in advance tomorrow!That big dye vat that buried too many black series!
