husband in another world

Chapter 56 What to Do

"The stuff in this shop is okay, but it's cheaper." Li Shi was wearing heavy makeup, wearing a light pink skirt, and the cloak fluttered with her slender arms when she spoke.The expression on his face was haughty and aloof.

Shen Mo was speechless when he heard that, a dress cost more than 300 taels, which is still called cheap, rich people don't understand consumption.

Li Shi was followed by four or five maidservants, and there was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl in front of her. The girl was called Sun Jiao. She was slightly inferior to Li Shi in her attire, but it could be seen that she was definitely not a servant.She vainly held the woman by the arm, and her tone and movements were all flattering when she spoke.

"Cousin, the things here are just selling novelties, how can they compare with those good things that your mother's family shipped all the way for you, and you can just buy them and wear them for fun."

Clothes worth a few hundred taels are just for fun, which is a lot of money.

After Sun Jiao finished her flattery, her attitude and tone completely changed when she turned her head to talk to Shen Mo. She was high above her, as if talking to Shen Mo had defiled her, and said arrogantly: "Where is your shopkeeper, tell him to come out, honored guest I don’t even know how to receive people at the door.”

Don't think that this shop just became popular overnight, but the ladies and ladies who follow the shop in the town also know that this shop is a husband and wife shop.After all, Zhou Jing is considered a wealthy son-in-law, and those who have a girl who has not left the court are also thinking about marrying the girl to such a capable man. After a little inquiry, they know that Zhou Jing is married and has a husband who will open a shop with him do business.

Just as Shen Mo opened his mouth to say that he was the boss, what could be done as much as he said, Zhou Jing, who was collecting fabrics from retail investors, came out.

"Girls, I am the shopkeeper here. If you need anything, just ask." Zhou Jing heard the conversation between the two women from behind, and from the lines and tone of voice, he could tell that it was the wealthy family who felt superior to others, and everyone wanted to hold it up. His wife, he didn't want Shen Mo to be angry with them, so he came out to socialize.Zhou Jing turned his head and whispered to Shen Mo: "There are still a few retail investors waiting behind, you go and have a look, I'll come here."

Shen Mo nodded, turned around and walked back, before reaching the door, he subconsciously looked back.

I saw that Sun Jiao, who was so arrogant when she was talking to him just now, was so shy now that she even glanced at him as if she was giving alms. She seemed ashamed, but couldn't help not looking at it. She glanced up and down, as if hooked in her eyes, as if she was about to refuse and still welcome.

Shen Mo only felt a burst of anger burning Tianling Gai.

Sun Jiao's cousin, Mrs. Li, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled when she saw her like this.Not only did he not feel ashamed, but he seemed to deliberately say it to Zhou Jing.

"Well, I told you that the shopkeeper of 'Encounter' is a very handsome young man. Although he is a lot worse than your cousin, he is not bad, and he is more than enough for you. That day at the 'show 'Come on, I thought of you at the first sight of him."

Sun Jiao lowered her head, infinitely shy.Her voice was no longer rough, instead she seemed to be holding a mosquito in her throat, and said delicately and weakly: "Thank you, cousin."

When the two women said this, it seemed that they didn't pay much attention to Shen Mo, the official husband who was at the side.Shen Mo was so angry that he twisted the door curtain into twists with his hands, and told himself desperately that these were not two women, but walking silver, each worth a few hundred taels.But the foot seemed to have a mind of its own, and kicked the door panel with a 'bang', making a loud noise, which scared the woman in the shop and Zhou Jing to look over involuntarily.Only seeing an angry figure from behind, the door was closed again with a bang.

Facing the rattling back door, Zhou Jing raised the corners of his mouth in a good mood, hey, his little husband seems to be jealous!

Li Shi smeared Koudan's fingers, patted on the chest, and said artificially, "I was scared to death."

Sun Jiao also pouted and said, "It's really rude."

Zhou Jing turned his head, leaving only a professional smirk, "May I ask what you two are looking at?"

It's okay if you don't ask, but when Li Shi giggled like an old hen, Sun Jiao's face became even redder.

Shen Mo, who heard the ambiguous and meaningful laughter behind him, was so angry that his face was ferocious, and he gritted his teeth.

Scared a few retail investors, you look at me and I look at you.

One of them tremblingly said: "Zhou Fulang, we are all peasants, and the things we weave are not comparable to the silk brocades that your family makes into garments, but the head of your family said that the coarse cotton cloth is also collected, but the price is lower." .So, you don't have to see this material to...you look a little scary."

Shen Mo's mind was not on this at all, he listened to the movement outside from time to time like a little rabbit with his ears up, his laughter became more and more presumptuous than when he was there.

"I'm so mad!" Shen Mo yelled suddenly, and finally couldn't take it anymore, he slapped the table with his hand, and the teacups on the table shook, fell to the ground, and shattered. "It's just a few hundred taels of silver, I won't make any money! How dare you seduce my husband, hmph..."

Shen Mo slammed the door curtain and went out, leaving behind a few retail investors who looked at each other in blank dismay, and said in a daze, "Zhou Fulang is usually a gentle person, what's wrong with this one?"

Mrs. Li laughed enough, and then she said with deep meaning: "The clothes are fancy, and the people are also fancy."

"Oh, really, that's such a pity. You can buy the clothes back if you like them. If you don't own them, you can only be sorry if you like them. This one has an owner." Shen Mo came out from behind with a smile on his face. , actually gnashing his teeth.Walking up to Zhou Jing in two steps, for the first time, he put his hands on Zhou Jing's arms, which was not in line with his style, and then said shyly, "Don't you think so, sir?"

Three obediences and four virtues are what all women and twins must learn. Shen Mo's words have already committed jealousy.As a husband, even if a husband falls in love with a girl, not only can't stop him, but also help to match her up, this is the so-called virtuous.Otherwise, the husband's family can divorce her husband because of jealousy.

Both Sun Jiao and Li's came from wealthy households, and they knew that there was no man who didn't love to be pretty, no matter how favored they were at home, no matter how secretly they used tricks, no one would dare to openly refuse to let the men in the family take concubines.Therefore, hearing Shen Mo's outspoken words of jealousy and waiting for him to be reprimanded by Zhou Jing, he felt somewhat disdainful in his heart that those who come from the village are from the village, and they don't even know how to use backyard tricks.

In the end, Zhou Jing unexpectedly put an arm around Shen Mo's waist, and said dotingly: "Fu Lang is right."

Shen Mo's face turned red, and the jaws of the two women fell to the ground.

After coming out of the shop, Sun Jiao twisted the handkerchief unwillingly, and twisted a good piece of handkerchief until it was smashed.

"Cousin, what are you doing buying his clothes? His attitude really pissed me off."

Mrs. Li said bluntly: "It's because you are incompetent. You always think how good-looking you are, but in the end, look at you, you can't even compare with a pair, and you blame me."

Mrs. Li held the bag made of oil paper in her hand very proudly, accepting the eyes of all the women on the street.

This kind of bag made of oiled paper has two hemp ropes twisted into handles and can be carried on the arm. The style is unique, and it is only available in a shop in 'Meet'. Holding it is equivalent to telling everyone that she just met in 'Meet' 'Bought clothes.And the clothes of 'encounter' are never cheap, a few hundred taels is a normal price, and they are showing off their wealth invisibly.All the women who passed by didn't take a second look at the bag, so don't be too satisfied with the woman's thoughts.

She kept touching the bag of clothes in her hands, as if she had caught some kind of hope.

"You know it's really selfish to take care of yourself. I don't even think about how long it has been since your cousin came to my room. If I don't think of anything else, I'm afraid the family will follow the example of the county magistrate's house and come in the goblin. Mrs. Su What kind of scheming woman was forced to stay away by the girl who came out of the spring breeze. After watching the show of "Meeting", the county magistrate suddenly changed his temper that night and went to Mrs. Su's house to spend the night for the first time, saying I didn't buy the nightgown of 'Meet', who would believe it. I can't wait to be as embarrassed as Mrs. Su, I have to make plans early."

Sun Jiao was so angry that she kicked away the stones at her feet.

"Ah!" The stone hit a girl with weeds on her head. The girl knelt on the ground, wearing a linen filial piety.Her forehead was broken by a stone, and there were bloodstains flowing down. She clutched her forehead and couldn't see the injury.He looked up and saw that one of the women who kicked her was actually carrying the paper bag from the 'Meeting' house, and rushed over at once, hugging the woman's thigh.

"Madam, Madam, please take pity on me and buy me. I only need five taels of silver, which is enough to buy a coffin for my father and a shroud. I will be your cow and horse for the rest of my life. Slaves are servants."

Being entangled and crying and screaming for no reason caused everyone on the street to point and point, Li Shi was so angry that his face was livid.

"How unlucky!"

A few maidservants behind her immediately stepped forward, dragging and dragging her away.The woman was not in the mood to show off with the bag on her shoulders, and said annoyedly: "Go and call me a spoiled brat."

After walking a few steps, Sun Jiao was still looking back at the girl who sold her body to bury her father, bit her lip, a scheming light flashed in her eyes, she finally turned and ran out again.

She came to the side of the girl who sold her body to bury her father, and looked at her coldly.

"You want to have money to bury your father. It's useless to kneel here. You can go to 'meet'. The husband of the owner of that shop is a twin, and he has the kindest heart. Cry, beg, tear your face off , he will definitely help you."

As Sun Jiao walked away, the little girl murmured: "'Meet'." These two words seemed to be all her hopes.

When Zhou Jing and Shen Mo were the only ones left in the shop, Zhou Jing returned to his sloppy and shameless nature, and he was like a dog's skin plaster on Shen Mo's body.

"The clothes don't belong, but I own them! Fulang's words are domineering, I like it. Hehe..."

Originally, Shen Mo was still a little angry, but with Zhou Jing's appearance, he knew that those two women were not in Zhou Jing's eyes at all, so he stopped being angry, and instead felt a little helpless.He just knew that Zhou Jing was like this, a man pretending to be a gentleman in front of others, and a queen...hehe...Have you ever seen a hooligan who molests a woman from a good family?

Shen Mo pushed him, turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhou Jing spun him around and pulled him into his arms.

"Little Mo, come here and stamp me, otherwise no one will know that I'm the owner, and they'll all chase you into our house." Zhou Jing approached hooliganically and kissed Shen Mo, who was in his arms Li Dong hides here and there and refuses to kiss him.

It is probably because Zhou Jing has had a bad year recently, and he is about to kiss Ruanxiang Wenyu, but someone bumps into him without knowing what to do.

"Oh, the two bosses are busy!" A mean female voice suddenly sounded.

Shen Mo rushed out and ran away, Zhou Jing turned around with a dark face as if he was going to eat people.

The man next to the woman coughed a few times, and called out in embarrassment: "Boss."

It is a retail investor who supplies the cloth dyeing workshop. Usually the fabrics are sent directly to the cloth dyeing workshop. I don't know how I found this today.

Zhou Jing restrained the thought of jumping up and beating him violently, and tried to speak normally, but his teeth were grinding.

"What are you doing here at the shop?"

The man's name is Zheng Liu, he was a little embarrassed but couldn't hide his joy and said, "No, I got a few good horses. They are brocade from Hangzhou and Song brocade from Suzhou. The steward at the cloth dyeing workshop can't decide. I brought it here for you to see."

Zhou Jing nodded, "Move to the back, it's really Suzhou and Hangzhou brocade and Song brocade, I can't lose you."

Zheng Liu happily rubbed his hands, turned around and scolded behind him: "What are you doing in a daze, you haven't moved your things to the backyard, you don't have any insight, it's like a hammer."

Only then did Zhou Jing see that Zheng Liu was followed by a six or seven-year-old child, who was wearing a plain sackcloth of no discernible color, with a pair of broken straw sandals on his feet, with eight out of ten toes exposed.He still doesn't follow his feet when he walks, and he falls and falls.

He lowered his head, and he didn't reply when he was scolded. He should be used to it, so he turned and went out.

Six pieces of cloth piled together are too high and heavy for a child, blocking his sight and unable to see the road ahead, stumbling and almost falling several times.

Zheng Liu scolded: "Idiot, you only know how to eat and eat. Pigs are better than you. They can be slaughtered and eaten during the Chinese New Year. What's the use of raising you! Let me tell you, if you hit my mother-in-law's belly, I will beat you!" kill you."

Zheng Liu's mother-in-law, the woman who interrupted Zhou Jing's good business, quickly moved away, and looked at the little boy with her shoulders in distaste.

The little boy walked to the back room, and no one raised the door curtain when he encountered it, so he could only use the top of his head. He didn't pay attention, and the shoes under his feet were many sizes too big, tripped him, and fell directly to the ground, holding him in his arms. The wrapped brocade rolled all over the floor.

"Oh, you trash!" Mrs. Zheng rushed forward, ignoring the children, and went to look at the brocade first. Some of them were dirty, and one even had a cut.

"You... You loser, I beat you to death." Mrs. Zheng came to beat someone with her hands up, but was stopped by Zheng Liu behind.

"Don't, I'll beat him. You have to be careful about your stomach. There's my good son inside. I've been looking forward to it for so many years. This is my lifeblood."

Mrs. Zheng stood aside, supporting her invisible stomach, "Beat me hard, I won't be able to relieve my anger if I don't beat him to death today."

Zheng Liu went up and kicked the little boy's buttocks. As soon as the little boy got up, he was kicked down again, hitting his head on the ground loudly.Saturday didn't care at all, and he used his fists to pinch the little chicken, pushing the little boy to the ground and beating him no matter where he was.

Shen Mo was stunned at first, and when he realized it, he pulled Zhou Jing, Zhou Jing jumped up in a few steps, and easily pulled Zheng Liu off the little boy with one move.

Zheng Liu hurriedly looked back, and saw that Zhou Jing had stopped.Shen Mo ran forward to check the little boy's injuries. The little boy's nose was bruised and his face was swollen. There were bruises and bruises under the torn clothes during the struggle.Shen Mo was stunned for a moment.But the little boy wrapped himself in his clothes indifferently, stood up with a limp, and stood quietly by the side, making no sound from beginning to end.

Only now did Shen Mo realize that even when Zheng Liu was about to beat him to death just now, the little boy didn't beg for mercy, nor did he yell out a word of pain.

The few retail investors who were waiting to sell the cloth before came from the same village as Zheng Liu. Seeing the poor child, they couldn't help but criticize: "Zheng Liu, he is also your adopted son, how can you treat him like this?" The kid."

Zheng Liuli was bold and bold, and scolded: "The adopted son is not your own son. How much money does he eat and drink for a year? I have raised him for so many years and I have exhausted my benevolence. Whoever you are, he is not his own. He has already been beaten out of the door. Don't stand up!" Talking here won’t hurt your back!”

A man next to him was unconvinced and said: "You didn't beat this child out because he was kicked out by you at a young age to make money. Who knows that this child in the dyeing workshop is no worse than a woman. "

Zheng Liu sneered, "Why do you eat my clothes and wear mine? You don't make any money for me. Maybe I thought I raised him for nothing. Why, I bought him back for a tael of silver. If you can't stand it , you take the money and I'll sell him to you!"

The man was unconvinced and wanted to argue, but the man next to him pulled his sleeves and persuaded him softly.

"Forget it, don't talk about it. If Zheng Liu is in a hurry, how can he deal with that child when he goes back? Can you help? Or can you really buy him and raise him? This is not a matter of opening your mouth."

The man stopped talking now, turned his head away, and couldn't bear to look any further.

Zheng Liu snorted disdainfully: "Fake kindness, what a good person I am, it's not that I can't bear to part with the little money, it's not as good as me, after all, I spent a tael of silver to buy him back then, and finally saved his life." Fate, did not let him starve to death."

That man also understood how much he said, and he annoyed Zheng Liuzhen, and it was that child who suffered in the end, but he couldn't stay here any longer, so he said to Zhou Jing: "Dong Zhou's family, I have something to do at home, can I ask you first?" You have seen my cloth, and I can leave after the money.”

These retail investors are all from the countryside. They used to weave and deliver goods to the town.However, it was supplied to other shops before, and later I heard from the colleagues who sold it that the newly opened 'meet' cloth shop in the town is good, and the price has never been lowered.I've sold it a few times, and as expected, as rumors have it, they all come here to deliver goods.

Their cloth is all woven at home, and they are all coarse and cotton, and dozens of pieces are only a little more than two taels of silver.This price is fairly fair. After all, when you go to the shop, the shop also has to make money, and it is impossible to be busy for nothing for the farmers.

When it was Zheng Liu's turn, he kicked and beat the child and asked him to pick up the brocade and put it on the counter. The counter was taller than the child, and the child couldn't reach it even after tiptoeing it several times.Zheng Liu didn't help, but kicked and kicked the little boy cursingly.

Shen Mo couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and walked around from behind, took the brocade and placed it on the counter.

Zheng Liu immediately nodded and bowed his head and said: "This trash, how dare I ask Zhou Fulang to do it himself, please excuse me."

Shen Mo didn't speak, but turned his face away.

Zheng Liu rubbed his cheeks and said to Zhou Jing: "Dong Zhou's family, look, these brocades..."

Zhou Jing glanced at the child, he was really pitiful, it's a pity that it fell into the hands of such a family.

"I can give you the normal price for these few brocade silks, but I have one condition."

Zheng Liu hurriedly said: "Dong Zhou's family, just ask for any conditions you have, and I will agree to them all."

Zhou Jingdao: "That's the end of this matter. After you go back, don't make things difficult for this child. I'm willing to give you this price only for his sake."

Zheng Liu turned around and gave the child a fierce look, and said, "I will never beat him again because of this incident when I go back, just give me the normal price."

However, the little boy stood indifferently by the counter from the beginning to the end, without a thank you, without a grateful look, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Although it is a brocade silk from Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are good and bad brocade silk at the same time. It is incomparable with the things brought by the merchants from the south who run away, but it is brocade silk after all, and a piece can be worth six or seven taels of silver.Of course, this item can be sold for more than 80 taels in the hands of Zhou Jing and other shopkeepers who have shops, and even made into ready-made clothes or nightdresses by Zhou Jing, which can be sold for [-] taels, but in the hands of these retail investors No way.

The price is not low, the price is so.In the shop, labor is also required, taxes and store fees are required.

Knowing this, Zheng Liu nodded his thanks, took dozens of taels of silver and hugged his mother-in-law joyfully and left.

"Aren't you a glutton? Let's go back and buy it now. As long as you can give me a big fat boy, I will buy you anything to eat."

Mrs. Zheng laughed and said, "It's nice to say, if I eat meat every meal, can you afford it?"

Zheng Liu chuckled: "Don't we have to hold some for our son?"

"You know your son."

The two walked in front talking and laughing, and the little child stumbled behind with injuries all over his body.The big shoes tripped and fell him after a few steps, and the little boy got up without saying a word and continued to follow.Occasionally, the two smiling adults in front would think of it, and would just turn around and scold him for walking slowly.
