Zhong Ziqi anxiously asked Zhao Zhengan what was wrong: "If you don't talk about it, I will ignore you."
This trick has been tried and tested, and Zhao Zhengan showed a flustered look, and he tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, for fear that Zhong Ziqi would leave him.
Zhong Ziqi said slowly: "Tell me, what's wrong? Whoever bullied you, my wife will vent your anger on you."
"No one bullied me, but you." Zhao Zhengan said suddenly, with anger and annoyance in his voice.
Zhong Ziqi didn't expect that it was about her. She was taken aback for a moment and then asked curiously, "Who bullied me? Did someone tell you something?"
Zhao Zhengan couldn't hide what he had heard and told Zhong Ziqi what he had heard, and finally said very seriously: "My wife is not that kind of person."
Although Zhong Ziqi was angry at the people in the village talking badly, she was also attracted by Zhao Zhengan's trusting and serious look: "Then what am I like?"
Zhao Zhengan tilted his head and thought for a while: "A daughter-in-law is the best daughter-in-law in the world." Zhao Zhengan only felt that this description was the best and most suitable for a daughter-in-law, so he couldn't help grinning happily.
Zhong Ziqi also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and at the same time, there was a touch of emotion in his heart, there was no need to do anything, as long as he supported and comforted, it was the best superglue, allowing him to heal quickly.
"Okay, let's not be angry, they can talk about them as they like, and we won't lose a piece of meat."
"Why did they say that?" This was what Zhao Zhengan was puzzled about.
Zhong Ziqi pondered for a while and said, "Because, they are jealous!"
"What is jealousy?"
"Because we have something and they don't have it, they get jealous and unhappy."
Zhao Zheng'an half understood: "Then can we give it to them? Then they will be happy."
"It's ours. If we give it to them, we won't have it. What will you do?" Zhong Ziqi threw the question back
"Well...then don't give it to them, daughter-in-law, don't be unhappy." Zhao Zhengan answered without even thinking.
Zhong Ziqi was very satisfied, he wasn't picky, he wanted to prevent someone from doing bad things to Zhao Zheng'an in the future, and he had to get a vaccination in advance.
"Okay, don't think about it anymore, go fetch water for me and carry it to the back of the house." Zhong Ziqi handed him the wooden bucket.
Zhao Zheng'an's problem was solved and he regained his happiness. He jumped up and down to the well with a wooden barrel in his hand.
Zhong Ziqi felt relieved and went back to her own courtyard, where the three children stayed there obediently, when they saw him coming over, they obediently called: "Brother Ziqi"
Zhong Ziqi's house didn't have much to eat, only some fruits were left. He picked out some good-looking ones and gave them to them: "Take it and eat it. Brother Zheng'an can't play with you today. Come back when you have time, okay?"
The three children happily thanked Zhong Ziqi with a fruit in each hand, and ran away one after another.
After locking the door, Zhong Ziqi took the tools and went to the vegetable garden, digging holes, sowing seeds, watering, and burying the soil, four steps, by the time the two of them finished, the sky had already darkened.
Zhong Ziqi was really relieved when the vegetables were planted, but this was his first time planting, so he was quite looking forward to the results.
In the evening, Zhong Ziqi fried a pig's large intestine and small cucumbers. There was still some leftover bone soup in the morning. Once it was reheated, one dish and one soup came out. The nutrition was balanced. Zhong Ziqi was very satisfied, and Zhao Zhengan was full!
After eating, the two of them took turns taking a bath, and went to bed early. There was no entertainment in ancient times. Go to bed early at night and wake up early in the morning. This is the law. I was already tired after a busy day, and the insomnia of modern people did not exist at all. The two of them fell asleep almost immediately after touching the bed, so there was no need to think about it.
…
The Grand Canal is a large river that runs through the north and the south. Although it is not particularly wide, it is very long. Many cargo ships in the north will transport the goods from the north to the south for sale by waterway, and the south will also bring local specialties to the north and sell them at high prices. As long as you can do business so many times, you will definitely make money. Pirates are guaranteed to make a fortune.
It was a bright day, with no wind, and the heat made the chest tight.
A large ship was slowly approaching from the south, and a large flag with the character "Gao" was flying high and fluttering, indicating that this was not an ordinary cargo ship.
"Master, there is a small town ahead, do you want to take a rest?"
There were two people standing at the bow of the boat, and the one who was talking was a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He bowed his body slightly and said respectfully.
And the man called the young master leaned lazily on the railing, with black ink-like hair hanging on his shoulders, snow-white skin, and a hint of heroism in his feminine appearance. In short, he looked a little weak. Hearing the question, the man lazily replied To: "Then let's go to the shore. After walking for so many days, go down to rest and take some goods down."
"Yes" the burly man clasped his fists and went down to give instructions. The man was left alone at the bow of the boat looking into the distance.
The business at Zhong Ziqi's stall was as good as ever, and he knew that it would be a hot season, and after summer the business would cool down.
Then he should switch to other things to sell. In fact, the quickest way to make money now is the business of buying and selling. It is too slow to stick to an acre of land or work for others, and neither he nor Zhao Zhengan are suitable. , so he made up his mind to go to black on this road.
In the future, if I earn enough money to build a big house in the countryside, raise a few servants and live a leisurely life, I will be very happy.
"Go, go, it's too late."
"I didn't expect it to be so fast!"
There was a chaotic sound from far to near, Zhong Ziqi saw a lot of people running towards the pier at a glance, and the people who were eating noodles at the noodle stall were also very puzzled, grabbed a person who had just run over and asked: "What happened? In such a hurry."
The man was in a hurry, he was dragged away impatiently and continued to run, leaving only a sentence echoing in the booth: "A big merchant ship is coming."
This sentence was like a depth bomb that exploded the wharf. No—it was the workers who opened the wharf. They knew that this meant another big business was coming, so they ran to the wharf without even eating noodles.
In an instant, there were only a few scattered people left in all the stalls. Half of the people who ran to the pier were workers, and half were watching the excitement, and they didn't even bother to eat the things they bought with money.
Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning faced the empty and quiet street for a moment, and they couldn't recover for a moment. The contrast was too great.
If you poke your head to the left, you can see that the pier is surrounded and noisy.
"Are you a little scared? Just get used to it." Uncle Song laughed when he saw the four people in a daze. He didn't admit that he had come here in a daze.
Zhao Sheng scratched his head and asked, "Uncle Song, do you often do this?"
Seeing that the eyes of the four people were all focused on him, Uncle Song cleared his throat and said, "Not often, but if there is such a big effect, it must be those big merchant ships with money and power. , this group of people just want to see some big shots."
"oh, I see."
"Okay, it's none of our business, let's clean up the dishes." Although Zhong Ziqi was surprised, she quickly calmed down.
Although Zhao Zheng'an looked curiously at the crowd, he would not leave Zhong Ziqi and go out alone. Hearing Zhong Ziqi's words, he took the lead in cleaning up the dishes on the booth.
Besides, at the pier, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent for a while, and all eyes were fixed on the man who got off the boat.
The common people in these small places like them have rarely seen such a good-looking person, and they are still a kid. Although there are some good-looking people in the caravan passing by here, they just don't have the good-looking and temperament of this person.
Gao Hanjin looked at the scene in front of him with raised eyebrows, and expressed his appreciation for the eyes of these bumpkins, so he generously ignored their disgusting eyes. "Shua" opened the paper fan in his hand, and signaled to the man standing behind him: "Let's go, let's go out for a stroll. After eating dry food for so long, we can finally have a change of food."
Gao Hanjin has a high status as the owner of the entire ship, but this is the first time he has taken a merchant ship to sea. No matter how arrogant and disdainful he is, he is still a person with brains, so he can't be special in anything. It's a way to win people's hearts. Sure enough, the dry food for more than half a month is not free. At least those individuals in the caravan looked at him no longer with the contempt they had when they first came.
The man behind got orders to open the way ahead, while Gao Hanjin walked behind, waving a paper fan.
When passing through the crowd, he paused. Thin lips slightly curled up and showed a charming smile to a young man next to him: "This beautiful man, do you have any delicious food here?"
The young brother was immediately so fascinated that he couldn't find his way, and he replied with a peachy face, "Front... in front, there is a cold noodle stall."
"Thank you." Gao Hanjin waved his sleeves without taking away a cloud.
Until the people walked away, that brother still had an idiot-like expression on his face. The others who watched him shook their heads speechlessly, and secretly stayed away. Who would dare to marry such a brother.
