Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 326 The Concubine's Daughter Married in Haste 15

After settling down, Xu Tao wanted to go to Wanhua Village, but was pulled away by Uncle Shen to discuss business, so he asked Tang Nian to go back first.

It took me five days to wander around Pengcheng, and I found that people were very willing to spend money on food, but spent very little on clothes and school.

At present, there is only one cloth shop in the city but no ready-made clothing store. There is also only one school in the east of the city. There are very few students in it, and the highest rank of teacher is Xiucai, and there is not even a Juren.

The most learned person in the city now is the county magistrate Zhang Ruhai, a good official praised by everyone on the street.

"You are from outside the area, right? Our county magistrate is a rare and good official."

There were tears in the old man's eyes as he spoke, otherwise the county magistrate and his family would have been crushed to death by the exorbitant taxes and levies imposed by the petty officials.

"Uncle, please tell us in detail."

Xu Tao handed over the two sesame cakes she had just bought. They were fragrant and crispy. She had already eaten three of them. Otherwise, her stomach would have been so bloated that she really wanted to eat a few more bites.

The old man was so happy that his teeth were showing. He sat down on a high slope without paying attention to details, patted the front of himself, and said, "Young man, young lady, you sit down."

Thirty-year-old Shen Xiangxin pointed at himself doubtfully. At his age, he would be a grandfather in two years. How could he still be considered a young man?

But the expression on their faces was real, and they were happily chatting for a long time.

Xu Tao couldn't find any room to interrupt and just gave up. Uncle Shen was a good businessman and his art of speaking was something she couldn't even catch up with.

After chatting for three cups of tea, the two still felt a little reluctant to leave, but the old man had something to do at home, so they had to say goodbye with regret.

"Taotao, guess what your uncle asked!"

"Weapons are emphasized over culture."

Shen Xiangxin gave a thumbs up. It was simple, straightforward and to the point. His eldest niece had the same brain as hers.

Xu Tao rolled her eyes. The two of them had nothing in common except that they were both human.

"Niece, how about we open a martial arts school? It will definitely be very successful."

Xu Tao's eyes twinkled. "The martial arts school is great!" After some discussion, they found that their ideas were similar. Xu Tao was still confident in Uncle Shen's experience and handed over a few banknotes.

Shen Xiangxin did not refuse. As a business matter, he decided to make a separate payment for his eldest niece.

The careers of the two are booming, while the Xu family in Wanhua Village is both happy and sad.

"Dad, can I not go?"

Xu Zhian rubbed his numb arm. He wondered what the people here ate to grow up, and why they were so strong.

He had learned a few moves from his sister and thought that although he was not a master, he was at least an average player. But the result was nothing.

"Go, you can't even beat a seven-year-old boy. How dare you brag about being a martial arts master every day?"

Xu Zhian became excited when he heard this. He just made a mistake that day!

Looking at his son who left angrily, Xu Hong's mouth curled up wildly. He finally got back at the score.

Shen Ruoxue looked at the father and son with amusement. Ever since the master was exiled, his temper has become more childish.

Xu Zhining supported her chin and looked out the window. She missed her sister so much. When would her sister come over?

Xu Jiacheng, who was only separated by a wall, became more and more angry the more he thought about it. How could he, the head of the family, be frightened by an ignorant junior?

"I'm going to settle accounts with Xu Hong, don't stop me!"

As he was about to leave, he reached the door but no one called him. He stopped and looked back in disbelief. Seeing that they were all busy with their own things and didn't even glance at him, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Unfilial sons, you all..." Realizing that what he was about to say would make him lose face, he went out angrily with his hands behind his back.

"Brother, are we really not going to look after Father?"

"If you're not tired, go ahead."

Xu Jiadalang continued to copy books. He had been making trouble every day since he came to Wanhua Village. No matter what I said, good or bad, it was useless. I just let him be.

To be honest, my father is a brainless person. The reason why he was able to get promoted repeatedly was definitely because all the blessings accumulated by his ancestors were given to his father.

At that time, he said that the gifts and money could not be accepted. His father insisted on his own way and now his entire clan has been exiled. It would have been fine if he just didn't live in fear, but he chose to cause trouble.

It was the flattery over the years that made him lose his way, so he might as well run into a wall.

The young man from the Xu family simply shut up and walked away to be sad about the passing of time.

Xu Jiacheng wandered back and forth at the door, but no one came out to look for him. He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. His courage also grew a lot, and he rushed into the next yard with a bang.

The woman was hanging out clothes and was startled by a man who pushed the door open. The washed clothes became dirty again.

Facing the death gaze, Xu Jiacheng subconsciously took two steps back, "I...I walked into the wrong room, please forgive me, Madam."

"You speak so elegantly. You're new here. Why haven't I seen you go out these past few days?"

Xu Jiacheng was not used to talking to women and felt that it lowered his status, so he bowed and left.

The woman didn't care and picked up her clothes to wash them again.

On the other side, someone walked to Xu's house with precise positioning. Shen Yaozong walked in with his hands behind his back, looking left and right, with disgust on his face that was too obvious.

"Father, why are you here?"

"Why, can't I come and see my daughter?"

Shen Ruoxue was a little surprised. As a father, wasn't his only concern about fame and fortune in his career? When would he ever save his daughter who was of no use to him?

"You have no manners at all, what? Is that what your mother taught you?"

Shen Ruoxue frowned, ushered him into the main hall, and went out to fetch a glass of water and offer it to him, "Father, have some tea."

"Bah, bah, bah, what the hell!"

Shen Jizong spat out the tea leaves in disgust. When had he ever tasted tea of this quality? He wanted to lose his temper but he remembered the purpose of his visit and endured it.

"Has your brother ever come to see you?"

"Never."

What Shen Ruoxue said was true. Her mother's dying wish was to see Xin Ge'er get married and have children, but so many years have passed and he still has no idea at all. What's worse, she saw her brother flirting with a man with her own eyes.

After asking around a few times, he increasingly realized that his guess was correct, so he simply decided to turn a blind eye and let himself be happy.

"Go find your brother. His business is doing well these days. Ask him to bring over a few tens of thousands of taels to help out in this emergency."

"Don't go."

"Rebellious girl!"

Shen Yaozong slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide with anger. "You have to go whether you want to or not. Your mother, aunt, and brother are all suffering right now. How can he have the nerve to enjoy the good life outside and ignore the lives of his relatives? "

"Puff, old man, you still have the nerve to come to my sister and ask me for money. I'm telling you, I don't have a single cent. Get out of here!"

“You, you, you…”

Shen Jizong covered his chest with his hands and pointed at his unfilial son with trembling fingers, as if he would faint at any time.
