Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 80

After Zhang Mu's confinement, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of water. Every time his rippling eyes swept towards Wu Ling, Wu Ling felt that a certain corner of his heart was melting instantly.

The beauty lowered her head and shook her head every time.

Stupid human being, haven't you noticed that my master has gained weight again! ?
It was only at this time that Zhang Mu realized the benefits of having elders in his family. When the child was born, Ding Erniang was very enthusiastic to help take care of it. Mrs. Zheng took Zheng Qingyan's family back to Taizhou City on the third day of Wuman's full moon. The child was empty for a long time, Ding Erniang said to Zhang Mu: "Amu, why don't you send a letter back to ask your mother if you want to come and stay for a while?"

When Zhang Mu thought of Zhang's family far away in Shuiyang Village, he felt a little worried. Zhang Mu was also very grateful for his mother-in-law's consideration for her, and said with a smile, "Mother, I'll write a trustee to take it back later!"

Xiao Shui will be six years old next year, and it's time to enter the school. It's just that Li Xiucai's house in the town, Xiao Shui must not go, not to mention Li Xiucai, even if he deals with Li's family, his brother and sister-in-law probably won't respond Panic.

As soon as the Zhang family received the letter, the whole family hired a car and drove over to see their daughter and granddaughter. On the day Zhang Mu gave birth, Wu Ling asked someone to bring the letter back. Two suits were prepared for Fufu, made of colorful materials in various colors and patterns. Zhang Mu was stunned for a while before he remembered that these were the legendary Baijiayi!

Seeing Mrs. Zhang gently put Fufu on, Zhang Mu felt a little choked up. Before, she always thought that this was the mother of the original body. The position of being favored by others, thinking about how to repay.

But now, her elder brother, younger sister, parents, and grandparents have become Zhang Mu's relatives, so Zhang Shu, Tao Zi, Xiao Shui, Zhang Lao and Zhang Lao Niang are also her real married people!

"Mom, this dress is just right!"

Mrs. Zhang paused slightly holding Fufu's hand, and couldn't help but look up at her daughter. Why did she feel that her daughter's "mother" today was a little different, as if the temperature was higher, as if it contained a lot of dependence and humiliation? Admiration.

"Taozi, look, after Amu had a child, he began to understand the pain of being a mother!" Mrs. Zhang said, with tears in her eyes, her daughter finally opened the clouds and mists to see the bright moon, how many years has she been looking forward to it? , finally have the flesh and blood of the first relatives.

Looking at the fragrant little granddaughter in her arms, Mrs. Zhang could hardly keep her eyes open from laughing, "Daughter is good, bloom first, then bear fruit, Amu, as long as you can give birth, both boys and girls are fine!" Mrs. Zhang looked Looking at her daughter, her eyeballs moved slightly.

This is because he is still thinking about the man in his heart, Zhang Mu smiled slightly, and did not mention the hidden meaning of Mrs. Zhang, there is no need to say so clearly between mother and daughter! "Mother, I understand, don't worry! Ah Ling is only of his blood, I also want to have more children, and the family will be more lively in the future!"

"Hey, good girl, that's right! Although boys and daughters are equally painful, but a family with multiple children is also lively! Brothers and sisters will grow up in the future, and there will be someone to support each other!"

Zhang Mu looked at Xiao Shui who was standing on one side, wearing a blue cotton jacket and trousers, which seemed brand new, and waved, "Xiao Shui is here, why didn't you call aunt?"

Xiao Shui grinned his white teeth, and laughed, "Auntie, I'm looking for no one!"

As soon as he came in, he didn't see the beauty.

"You're still thinking about it, it went to play in the women's school, and I'll let your uncle bring it back tonight!" Thinking of how beautiful women are always missed wherever they go, Zhang Mu felt a little envious for a while!
Taozi looked at her sister-in-law and smiled sweetly, her hands became softer and softer, her hair like a black cloud was casually tied into a bun, with only a wooden hairpin inserted, but the whole person was shining with happiness , Pleasant light, I can't help but feel a little envious in my heart, this woman can bloom like this when she meets the right person!

"By the way, Amu, Xiaoshui is not young anymore. He will be six years old in the next year. I want him to study in the county academy. What do you think?" Mrs. Zhang remembered what the old man said, and asked her daughter about it. Opinion.

Tao Zi, who was next to her, immediately looked at her sister-in-law nervously. Although Xiaoshui lives in the academy, Xiao Shui is only six years old, so she still needs her sister-in-law to go and take care of her often.

Zhang Mu took his sister-in-law's hand and said with a smile: "I told Ah Ling two days ago that I want to take Xiaoshui over! My sister-in-law and mother don't worry, Mrs. Li in our school is the sister of the dean of Huishan Academy. At that time, it must be possible to drag and contemplate for a while!"

Taozi heard that not only her brother-in-law agreed, but also the relationship with the dean's sister. Most of the stones in her heart were relieved. She had acquaintances, and she felt a little more at ease.

Mrs. Zhang patted her daughter's hand lightly, feeling rather complicated at the moment. With a pair of kind parents-in-law, now he can support the eldest son's family.

Looking at her daughter's tender and tender face, Mrs. Zhang felt that she was much younger and her steps were lighter.

There is another old lady Zhang in the family to help take care of the children. Zhang Mu has a very relaxed life these days. He can not only visit the women's school every day, but also walk around the streets and alleys.

Passing by the bookstore on West Street, I thought about buying some paper and pens for Xiaoshui to take home. Xiaoshui will not be enrolled until the second half of next year, so he can practice calligraphy at home in this half year.

There have been two incidents in the Secondary Girls’ School these days. The boy from the bookstore on the same street had seen the head of the Women’s School early in the morning. When he saw Zhang Mu coming in today, he greeted him immediately: “Mrs. Do you want to buy a book or a pen and paper?"

Seeing Zhang Mu talking about pens and papers, the boy took out some pens and papers for Zhang Mu to choose, and hurriedly went behind the counter to push the shopkeeper who seemed to have been dozing off all day. He remembered that the shopkeeper’s niece was also studying in the women’s school.

"Ah, from the Women's School? Hey, isn't that Xiangyi's wife?" The shopkeeper opened his eyes in a daze, and when he heard the boy talk about the Women's School, his brain took a while to react!Instantly woke up!

He has acted perversely for half his life. After his wife passed away, he has never married. He taught his elder brother Jia Xiangyi to read word by word. Yi came to study, such a good thing, my brother and sister-in-law would not refuse.

Now when I met the wife of the women's school, the shopkeeper was going to make a good impression on the teacher, so I took a look at the bookcase. This woman looks familiar, but she has been here before! ?
Zhang Mu chose the pen and paper, and was looking at the recent books on the pile of new books. He was thinking about Wu Mo'er, and he felt a sense of urgency when he read it. He wondered if this girl had published a new book recently.

A copy of "Boiled Three Kingdoms" came into view, Zhang Mu pulled it out and took a look, heh, it really was Wu Mo'er, the book's front page also contained a distribution map of the Three Kingdoms period, and when he opened the table of contents, it was not the same as the original book The title uses the neat eight-character couplets of the antithesis, but the subtitles of "Lost in Jingzhou" and "Deep Bronze Sparrow". language.

The names of characters like Liu Bei, Zhou Yu, and Cao Cao have not been changed either. It can be seen that this girl did not organize her own language because she was afraid of being discovered, but she is not very familiar with the Three Kingdoms, she just knows the outline of the story.

Here Zhang Mu looked at it quite seriously, checking out the titles, contents, poems, sentences, and names of people one by one. The shopkeeper behind the counter over there looked at the thin woman with a scholarly scent in every move. The astonishment was revealed without concealment.

When Zhang Mu came to the counter to check out with the selected books and pens and ink, he saw a handsome man sitting on the armchair behind, with a black book half covering his face, as if to block the bill. The sunlight coming in from the window bier is like.

Zhang Mu took out his purse and was about to pay the money, but the young man on the opposite side quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Madam, the shopkeeper said before that if you come to buy books, it will be treated as a gift!"

"Why? I don't know your shopkeeper's name?" Zhang Mu was a little strange when he heard it. She came to buy books before, and she was with her mother, and she didn't know the shopkeeper of this bookstore!

"My shopkeeper's surname is Sheng, and Miss Xiangyi, who is studying in your school, is my shopkeeper's niece!" The young man told Zhang Mu according to what the shopkeeper had explained before.

Zhang Mu looked at the back portrait of a person who was asleep, and wanted to ask the boy if he was the shopkeeper, but since he was resting, it was not good to disturb him rashly. Looking at the purse in his hand, he took out a piece of broken silver and put it in On the counter, "I also accepted your shopkeeper's kindness. Brother Lao, please help me to convey my thanks, and I can't let the shopkeeper's post be too right. This little money, my brother will not refuse me!"

Zhang Mu went to the academy with his pen, ink and books, but still felt something was wrong. When he saw Wu Ling, he told the story, and then asked, "Master, do you know this family?"

"I don't know, my father and I have traveled to the county town several times, and I have never heard that there are other relatives in the county town besides Ding Erye!" Seeing his wife's tender skin that can squeeze out water, Wu Ling was suddenly blessed, and felt that he had insight into it. However, he still said to Zhang Mu: "I probably want us to take care of Xiangyi more. You paid for it too, so don't think about it!"

With Wu Ling's reassurance, Zhang Mu felt that he was really suspicious!

On September [-]th, Wu Ling's provincial examination results were also released. This time, relatively few people participated in the provincial examination. The masters asked them to look at the results by themselves, so Wu Ling and Cheng Huan became friends.

One of Ding Erye and Ding Erniang was in the bamboo strip shop, and the other was waiting for his son to come back at home, but from afternoon, sunset, to night, there was no sign of Ah Zhu in West Street and Liuye Alley, so late It's not easy to go to the academy to ask, Wu Ling thought that Ye Tong also settled a house in the county.

By the time Wu Ling found out Ye Tong's address from Master Liu and knocked on the door, it was already late at night.
