Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 85

This time the rumors are more ferocious than the last time, the last time it was the wife of the Wang family and the wife of the Qu family who were talking a lot in the market, but this time, it was the county magistrate, even though he was in the box that day, It's Azhu's teacher and classmate again, but rumors are still flying around.

Zhang Mu went out for the next two days, and felt that passers-by seemed to look at her more, the look in their eyes was rather strange, always containing such a meaningful taste.

Going home and telling Wu Ling, Wu Ling looked at his daughter-in-law's slightly frowning brows, pinched the tip of her nose, and said with a smile, "After my wife gave birth to Fufu, her face has become more and more radiant. How many eyes!"

Zhang Mu glared at Xianggong reproachfully, and saw that he stretched out his slender jade-like hand, covering her brows and gently stroking, as if to smooth out the little crease between her brows, he could not help but lean back, as if to Backing away, he snorted, "Master, quickly take your little paws, I just put on the face grease!"

But Wu Ling stepped forward and grabbed her in front of him, "It's okay, a lady is a beauty even if she doesn't wipe it off!"

When Zhang Mu first heard the always restrained husband-in-law say such words of praise for her, it was rare for Zhang Mu to feel his face burn slightly.

Wu Ling watched his daughter-in-law's smooth face turn pale pink instantly, and tightened her embrace.

Wife, this time, I must take good care of you!
You just have to smile like a flower every day!
The beauty nestled under the fufu shaker squinted slightly, glanced at the two owners who were embracing each other, and the suspicious blush on the face of the hostess, lowered her head again, and continued to bite its tail.

After the meal that day, Erye Ding said: "It's been a long time since I chatted with Ah Ling and Ah Zhu. Let us warm a pot of wine for the three of us today, and we'll have a good chat with him until midnight!"

Ding Erniang chuckled and glared at her husband, this Ah Zhu has won the membership, the old man is not over excited yet!
According to the words, I prepared a pot of wine for Ding Erye, and went to the stove to make another plate of fried peanuts, a plate of pickled cucumber, and a plate of sauced beef.

Ding Erye looked at the things that the old wife brought into A Zhu's study, forced himself to suppress the bitterness in his heart, smiled and waved his hands and said: "Hurry up, don't eavesdrop on our men!"

"You old man, how old are you, and you still love to play so much! Okay, I'll go now!"

Ding Erniang didn't care to stay and listen at all, why not take a look at her little Fufu!It never occurred to her that the third father wanted to cheat on their mother and daughter.

Hearing the sound of Ding Erniang's footsteps fading away, Second Master Ding let out a long sigh, looked at A Ling, and said slowly: "A Ling, the matter of A Mu actually started from the day A Zhu had a banquet!"

Seeing that the eldest son looked confused, Second Master Ding recounted the events of that day, including Master Yan helping to divert the topic. After speaking, seeing the clenched fists of the eldest son, Second Master Ding's heart was dark, and he still relied on his reason. Persuading: "A Ling, the situation is stronger than others! Neither you nor Ah Zhu can be impulsive!"

"Father, what about my sister-in-law's reputation? The outsiders say it's even worse than it used to be in the town!" Azhu's eyes were red, and she felt that the anger in her chest could not be suppressed anymore!

Seeing his brother so angry, but listening to his father's words, like a trapped animal, Ah Zhu felt sorry for this brother who had been in his family since he was born.

"No, Dad, Ah Zhu, I have a solution!"

Wu Ling's voice was slender and calm, like a jingling sound flowing from a secluded spring.

Both Ding Erye and A Zhu looked at Wu Ling at the same time, but they didn't ask what the way was.

At this moment, Ding Erye was unwilling to hit this child who had suffered a lot since childhood, while Ah Zhu was holding his breath, for fear of interrupting his brother's conversation.

A spark danced in Wu Ling's eyes, which reflected the flickering candlelight on the table.

In the evening, after Zhang Mu washed up, he straightened his hair in front of the mirror, and looked at the Xianggong in the mirror who was staring at the banknote in a daze.
"Sanggong, did something happen and you kept it from me?" Zhang Mu turned around and asked tentatively.

"My lady, I'm hiding in the golden house outside!" Wu Ling said with an annoyed expression while taking the bank note from his wife.

"Tch, ghosts will believe your words! How dare you ask my husband, did you meet that beauty in your sleep?"

Whether the husband is at home or in the shop, he can really figure it out when he returns to the golden house to hide his beauty!

"Look, lady, the little girl is right there!"

Wu Ling pointed, forehead (⊙o⊙)... She is really a beauty nestled under the cradle, biting a small fish.

"Okay, it's fine if you don't say it, go to sleep!" Zhang Mu pulled the quilt and got into sleep first.

Wu Ling sighed secretly. Sure enough, after giving birth, a woman has to be stupid for three years. In the past, the wife was not so easy to fool. When she went to the cradle and saw her daughter with her little finger in her mouth, she had already fallen asleep, and Wu Ling blew out the candle.

Aunt Liu has been very busy these days, and for some reason everyone knows that the slightly fat woman who often goes out to buy vegetables in the women's school is the old cook at Mrs. Ming's house in Taizhou Prefecture, not to mention Deyilou and Ruyilou , Even the shopkeeper of Wangxiang Tower wanted to buy a prescription for one or two dishes from Aunt Liu.

Whether Deyi Building, Ruyi Building, or Wangxiang Building has been acquired, everyone does not know, but some people have seen Aunt Liu go in and out of the back door of the county magistrate's house several times!

Oh, the county grandpa's family also took a fancy to Aunt Liu's cooking skills!
When you talk about the prefect, the people in the county feel that it is far away. When you talk about the county magistrate, everyone immediately thinks, "Wow, I've got the county magistrate! This lady Liu will not be able to make a fortune!"

Mrs. Liu went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables for several days, and felt that the vegetable vendors were much more polite and friendly than before, and the prices of vegetables for her were all the lowest. It was not that I was used to this scene in the Ming Mansion in the past. Looking at the almost half-bought and half-gifted vegetables in the basket today, Aunt Liu is over forty, and I'm afraid she won't be able to stand up to this posture!

As usual, Aunt Liu bought the food and went directly to the county magistrate's mansion. She has been cooking for the county magistrate for seven days in a row. Looking from a distance, the cook Jia in the Zhou mansion's kitchen is waiting at the back door. The corner of Aunt Liu's mouth curled up slightly mockingly.

"Oh, sister Jia, I'm sorry for your long wait today!" Aunt Liu greeted warmly when she walked in.

Seeing that it was Aunt Liu who came here, Chef Jia was overjoyed. With this old guy, the master's tricky mouth wouldn't bother them in the kitchen anymore. It wouldn't be long to beg this old guy to help in the kitchen every day. As a plan, it is better to pour her two jugs of wine more, and to pry the trick on the stove that she is holding in her hand earlier.

Tucking the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, she took the vegetable basket from Aunt Liu, and said with a smile, "Your school for women cooks so much food every day, it doesn't exhaust my old sister, you might as well When you come to our house, you just worry about eating and drinking for the master alone! Nothing can be more leisurely!"

"Hey, I'm not as lucky as you, big sister. I've stayed in the Zhou Mansion for so many years, and I've won the trust of the old lady. It’s not a long-term solution either!”

Seeing that Aunt Liu really didn't want to push her back, Cook Jia got closer to Aunt Liu in her heart, and the two of them went to the stove in Zhou's mansion with their household chores.

In a few days, rumors came from somewhere that the newly married eighth concubine of the county magistrate's family had sex with the county magistrate's younger brother. The servant who was watching the night outside was alarmed, and the servant was also alert, and hurried to knock on the door of the madam's yard!

Mrs. Zhou is the original wife of the county magistrate, and she was married before the county magistrate was selected as a scholar. According to the posture of the county magistrate marrying eight beautiful girls in a row, she should have lost her original wife position long ago. However, Mrs. Zhou's belly was strong, and she gave birth to four sons in a row, which were deeply loved by the old man and the old lady of the Zhou family.

Mrs. Zhou had long been displeased with Yingying Yanyan in that yard. Now, she not only kicked open the door of the concubine, but also kicked open the door with a whole yard of servants!
The eighth aunt's delicate complexion was blown by the cold wind, and the boys guarding the door couldn't help swallowing.

But the two people in the house were still ecstatic, they seemed unaware of the cold wind outside the house, and the more than 20 pairs of eyes staring at them.

This time, even Mrs. Zhou, who came to find fault, sensed that something was wrong, but with the same gesture, she immediately tied up the two of them and threw them in the woodshed.

When the county master came out of the room of the seventh concubine who had been pestering him all night on the second day, he realized that the top of his head was dyed green last night. The news that the crown of the grandfather's head was dyed spread like wildfire overnight.

The magistrate of the county did not go to court for several days, and he heard that he was ill from anger.

Aunt Liu also made an excuse to go back to Taizhou to see her daughter, and she hasn't been to the county grandpa's mansion for a long time.

Zhang Mu is planning to teach the girls how to manage money every day, and he doesn’t have time to wander outside. Occasionally, on the way from home to the women’s school, he feels that the crowds on the street seem to be more excited, which is only strange. for a moment.

Ding Erniang actually went to the vegetable market and heard a lot of news, but she hadn't had the chance to discuss the affairs of the county magistrate's mansion with her dizzy daughter-in-law who was busy every day. get up!
That night, Zhang Mu, who coaxed his daughter to sleep, looked at his husband in a particularly good mood, and the smile on his face never diminished, and asked, "Sister, is there any happy event?"

"Miss, haven't you noticed? Fufu has grown a lot, measure it!"

Zhang Mu couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Fufu who was wrapped in the cotton quilt again, and said with a smile: "Fool, which family's children don't grow up?"

"My lady, I think it's great to have you and Fufu!" Wu Ling hugged Zhang Mu fiercely, trying to smell the jasmine scent in her hair.

Zhang Mu was taken aback by Wu Ling's sudden emotion, but since the husband had confessed his love, shouldn't she be earlier?

"Msanggong, let's go to the Red Wave, shall we?"

Zhang Mu asked in a low voice.
