I heard my wife is a man

The shop clerk screamed in pain, wanting to swear back, met Meng Ruhu's imposing starry eyes, afraid of swallowing the words, and honestly shrank his head to pick up the book.

"Thank you both, let's go slowly." The store owner hurried to the counter to get the book, dusted off the non-existent dust, bent down and handed it to Qiao Xiucai with a smile, "They are rough people, even if you are a man As knowledgeable as two countrymen who have never seen the world."

"That's natural." Qiao Ju smiled with satisfaction, opened the book with one hand, and suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost, "This book..."

The store owner looked over boldly, and saw that the original intact book turned into confetti and kept falling.A good book, but in the end there is only an empty shell left, and I can't help but feel a chill down my back.

The guest who got off just now was not easy to provoke, but fortunately he was not rude.It's not easy to do business these days. You have to flatter the rich and powerful masters, and you have to guard against some green forest men in the rivers and lakes, so as not to be looted, and you have to deal with all kinds of unnecessary taxes from the court. Can't make much money.Now that the court is in chaos, the king loses, and they can only live one day at a time.

After leaving the bookstore, the smile on Meng Ruhu's face never stopped, Qi Lian couldn't help but wonder, "Husband, why are you so happy?"

"I ruined that book, and he couldn't read it even if he wanted to." Meng Ruhu beamed with pride, with an expression of asking for credit, "Miss, don't take it to heart, that kind of person doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as him."

Qi Lian shook his head slightly, frowning distressedly, "I'm not angry, it's just a pity for that book."

Meng Ruhu saw that Qi Lian really didn't care about the rude treatment he received just now. He was afraid that Qi Lian would be wronged if he became soft-tempered. You have to fight for things, and you can’t be soft-hearted.”

Qi Lian shook his head and chuckled lightly. For him, Meng Ruhu was the only thing he couldn't let go. Other things were not so important, and there was no need to fight with others.Seeing that Meng Ruhu tried his best to protect his appearance, and didn't want to disappoint Meng Ruhu's intentions, he said with a smile, "What my husband said is that there are certain things that I will definitely not let go."

"That's good, my husband will take you to other bookstores to buy books." Meng Ruhu happily led Qi Lian, walking slowly along the road, shopping while looking for bookstores.

Walking in front of a pawn shop, a middle-aged woman ran out in a hurry and almost bumped into Qi Lian, but she didn't stop to apologize.Although it was just one glance, it was enough to see the woman's appearance clearly, and he would not admit that it was his stepmother.

"What's the matter, lady? Is there any injury?" Meng Ruhu looked at Qi Lian's stupefied look and asked with concern.

Qi Lian suddenly came back to his senses, and murmured nervously, "Bracelet..." When the stepmother ran over just now, she didn't have his mother's gold bracelet in her hand.

After speaking, he ran to the pawnshop in a panic, Meng Ruhu followed behind without knowing why, listening to Qi Lian talking incoherently to the pawnshop clerk.

"I want a bracelet, a gold bracelet...that's mine..." Qi Lian's nervous tone was close to roaring, seeing that the buddy didn't understand, he repeated excitedly, "That's the bracelet... ..”

It is rare for Meng Ruhu to see Qi Lian losing his composure, so he hugged Qi Lian and comforted him in a low voice, "Don't worry, lady, let's talk slowly and tell my husband what kind of gold bracelet you want."

Qi Lian felt the familiar warmth, and his emotions that were close to being out of control gradually calmed down. He pulled Meng Ruhu's sleeve anxiously, "It's the gold bracelet..."

Meng Ruhu patted Qi Lian's back lightly to comfort him, and said to the clerk, "Show us all the gold bracelets pawned today."

The clerk quickly brought a gold bracelet and put it on the counter with a smile on his face, "Guest officer, this is the only one today, and it's still not very pretty with a chip. Why don't you take a look at the other gold bracelets in our store."

"No, it's just this." Meng Ruhu took the bracelet and handed it to Qi Lian, and after a while Qi Lian felt trembling all over, and when he raised his head, the corners of his eyes were red, and he threw himself into his arms and wept silently.

"Husband, I finally got back...my mother's bracelet." Qi Lian burst into tears.

The voice behind was too vague, and Meng Ruhu couldn't hear it clearly. After paying the money, he half hugged Qi Lian and went out. After Qi Lian's mood stabilized, he asked, "What happened, lady?"

"It's nothing, thank you husband, I like this bracelet very much." Qi Lian smiled with tears in his eyes, and he could see that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Meng Ruhu didn't understand Qi Lian's changes for a while, so he helped Qi Lian wipe away his tears and said, "If my wife likes it, I'll buy you some more for my husband."

"You don't need it, my husband, I only want this." Qi Lian shook his head lightly, carefully wrapped the bracelet and put it in his arms, as if he were treating a treasure.After walking for a while, I will touch my bosom to see if the bracelet is still there, and I will smile with peace of mind after touching it.

Meng Ruhu was puzzled and didn't ask any questions, planning to wait for Qi Lian to take the initiative to explain to him.The two walked for a while, and finally found a bookstore. Although the scale was not as big as the one just now, there were still some books.

"Do you have Du Ying's book?" Meng Ruhu asked directly after entering the door, his voice was loud and powerful.

The owner of the store seemed to have a grim look on his face, shrank his body, and said with some fear, "Mr. Du's books are hard to find, and there are none in this small store. You might as well look elsewhere, sir."

"Husband, other books are also fine." Qi Lian tugged on La Meng Ruhu's sleeve, and walked to the bookshelf first to pick out books.

Meng Ruhu glanced at the shop owner, only trembling at the sight of him.The shop owner was afraid of neglecting the customers and causing unnecessary trouble, so he quickly poured two cups of tea and served them over.Meng Ruhu only took a cup and handed it to Qi Lian, "Miss, drink tea."

"Husband, you drink, I'm not thirsty." Qi Lian squatted down, picking out books carefully without raising his head.

Meng Ruhu returned the tea to the shop owner, and took out some broken silver from his pocket, "You don't need to serve here."

The shop owner took the money happily, made a gesture of invitation with a smile on his face, and walked away silently with the tea.

After less than half an hour of selection, Qi Lian picked out a total of seven books, all books that scholars would read.When paying the bill, the store owner looked at Qi Lian with a surprised face. He wanted to remind the lady in front of him whether she had chosen the wrong book several times, but she was also afraid of the menacing man at the side, so she settled the bill swiftly without saying a word. .

Meng Ruhu held the book, looked around, and said to Qi Lian, "My lady, let's go buy some rouge and gouache."

Qi Lian touched his bosom, and replied with a smile, "Okay."

There was a rouge shop not far away, Meng Ruhu walked outside to protect Qi Lian, and came to the door after a while, before he went in, he heard the voices of a man and a woman laughing inside.

The male voice, Meng Ruhu, sounded familiar, and he immediately laughed, "It just happened to be late, he knows everything about my daughter's house, let him help the lady choose."

Qi Lian frowned in resistance, pulling Meng Ruhu's arm not wanting to go in.It wasn't because of the delay, but because the female voice inside was his sister.Qi Lian was in a state of disarray when he ran into his stepmother and younger sister one after another today.

Meng Ruhu thought that Qi Lian was afraid, so he said softly, "This time I have a husband, it's okay, no one will misunderstand."

"Husband..." Before Qi Lian opened his mouth to make a sound, Meng Ruhu had already brought him into the shop, and as soon as Qi Yu's gaze met his, he quickly lowered his head.He wasn't sure if Qi Yu had recognized him just by looking at him.He saw that Qi Yu was wearing silk, with precious pearl hairpins on his head, and ornaments on his wrists and neck, which looked unusual.

The family members who were supposed to be wearing coarse linen clothes in the village appeared here in gorgeous clothes at this moment, Qi Lian felt a pain in his heart.When he got married, he only had a wooden hairpin on his head. Later, he overheard others mentioning that the betrothal gift Meng Ruhu gave him was a box of jewels.

Now it seems that his relatives took these belongings and lived a life of luxury and food with peace of mind, and did not care about his life or death at all.Fortunately, he was lucky to meet Meng Ruhu who doted on him unconditionally.

"Ruhu, what a coincidence." Hearing the sound, Chi Xu looked back to see the unexpected person, and revealed a genuine smile.He took two steps forward and put his arms around Meng Ruhu's shoulders, raised his eyebrows narrowly, "Take my sister-in-law out to see the world."

"Don't bully your sister-in-law." Meng Ruhu bumped his shoulder and went on, turned around and walked to Qi Lian's side, seeing Qi Lian bowing his head restlessly, advised, "Don't be afraid, lady, come and choose some colors you like."

Qi Lian raised his head and forced out a smile, glanced at Qi Yu from the corner of his eyes and quickly turned his eyes away, slightly lowering his head and covering half of his face with his hands.The rouges on the counter were of different colors, Qi Lian didn't have the heart to pick one at this moment, so he just pointed to one at random.

"Just one color?" Meng Ruhu lowered his head and asked, then looked at Chi Xu, "You know these things, come here and help your sister-in-law choose a few more colors."

Chi Xu leaned against the counter, half leaned up with a smile on his lips, picked up one of the boxes of rouge and said to Meng Ruhu, "What do you think of Scarlet?"

"You kid, are you teasing me? I can't tell the good from the bad, and it's useless for you to ask me." Meng Ruhu took the rouge and put it in front of Qi Lian's eyes, and asked softly, "Does the lady like this color?"
