Chapter 10 Water Margin Infernal Affairs?
He savored the carefully cooked delicious carp and sipped the freshly boiled rice wine. In front of him was the smiling beauty Jieyu. Wu Zhi felt that he had no regrets in this life.
Pan Jinlian helped him pour a glass of wine and looked at him blankly. Although he had been performing the ritual of Zhou Gong for several months, he could not help but feel shy. He lowered his head and said softly: "My husband, what do you think of me?"
Wu Zhi laughed and said, "The ancients said that the four beauties are so beautiful in the world. According to me, the four of them may not be as good as Jinlian." Pan Jinlian said lightly: "I am not that good-looking, my husband always likes to make fun of me." But he was very happy. He glanced at Wu Zhi and said, "I took over a maid before my husband came today. Don't blame me."
Wu Zhi thought to myself that even if you take ten maids, I wouldn't be angry, but I pretended to be pondering on my face. Pan Jinlian saw that he didn't speak, and panicked for a moment, and then knelt down after leaving the seat, which scared Wu Zhi and quickly said, "What are you doing?" He forced her to pull her up. Pan Jinlian whispered: "I know that I shouldn't be on my own. Do you think that our family's life has just been better, and Jinlian has started to become luxurious? Actually, it's not. It's because our former neighbor Wang Po found me and said that a distant relative had suffered a disaster and had nowhere to go. I begged me to take her in for the past relationship, saying that she could just give her some food. Seeing that she was pitiful, I agreed when I felt soft. Since my husband didn't want to, I'll send her back to Wang Po." As he said that, she still shed tears.
Wu Zhixin said that he was not very authentic now. He wanted to make the beauty laugh, but instead made the beauty cry. He regretted it. He hurriedly expressed his determination: "Jinlian, stop crying. It was a bad husband just now. He shouldn't make Jinlian sad. Not to mention a maid, Jinlian even uses all the women of the Song Dynasty as maids. My husband doesn't blame you!" Pan Jinlian saw his righteous words but said a mess, and he didn't feel funny. He curled his lips and said, "What kind of nonsense is said? He was heard by others and made jokes. As long as his husband doesn't blame Jinlian, he will be satisfied. Wang Po will come over to thank him tomorrow. I know that my husband has a bad impression of Wang Po, but the ancients said that the prime minister could hold a boat in his stomach. My husband should not bother with Wang Po because he saw Jinlian."
Wu Zhixin said, how could you know Wang Po’s dirty face? I wouldn’t let her go. But he said, “Of course, of course, with our Jinlian’s little face, even if our husband’s big enemy comes, I will also treat him as a guest of honor.” Pan Jinlian smiled and said, “What kind of enemies do you have? If you want to say that enemies are also those rascals, it’s funny. After the husband taught them that day, why did they respect us more respectfully? When we were helping us move that day, I saw that they were similar to our servants, and they were called around by you.” He said, chuckled.
Wu Zhi had never told Pan Jinlian about anything outside, but said that he had borrowed money to open a pawnshop, and the business was very prosperous. The four girls didn't dare to say anything after Wu Zhi told her. Wu Zhi didn't want to hide it from her, but was afraid that she would worry. At this time, I suddenly felt something in my heart. Isn't she too unreasonable? Do you treat her as her accessory? Although the status of women in this era is like this, Wu Zhi still feels a little guilty, thinking that she is boring at home every day. Now that there are a few more maids, the situation may be better, but it is really pitiful to compare with the women of her era.
Seeing him thinking, Pan Jinlian smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about how to make up a story to deceive Jinlian? It would be great if Jinlian doesn't ask about you in the future, but my husband should not deceive Jinlian."
Wu Zhi froze and laughed at her look as if she was a ghost. This beautiful woman was not that easy to deceive. I guess she must have heard some rumors these days. After all, her movements were too loud, and everyone in Yanggu would probably know it.
He gently pulled her hand and said softly: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but some things are taken care of by men. What about women? We should live happily under the man's big tree. The big tree can shelter her from the wind and rain and prevent her from being hurt at all." Looking at Pan Jinlian's happy nod, Wu Zhi's man's self-esteem was extremely inflated. It's better for ancient women. These words are to be said to those modern women who shout independence, and they are afraid they will be scolded.
After having supper in the atmosphere of deep love between husband and wife, the maids came in to pack up the dishes. Pan Jinlian called one of the maids and said, "I haven't come to see the master." He turned to Wu Zhi and said, "This is Wang Po's distant relative, named Yulan. Look, my husband, are you smart enough, right?"
Seeing that her eyebrows were pretty, Wu Zhi nodded and said, "Yeah, that's okay." He thought that Wang Po's relative, Zhou Zheng, was Zhou Zheng. Yeah, it's not right. Wang Po should live a good life. He urged Jinlian to do the needlework a while ago to get Ximen Qing a lot of benefits. There is no reason why he can't afford to raise a relative. Could it be? Yeah, it's Ximen Qing's idea again. This guy probably sent someone to touch my bottom. He looked at Yulan carefully, and didn't say much. He told a few instructions to pay attention. He smiled and pulled Pan Jinlian, who was shy and dada, into the bedroom.
On the morning of the next day, Wu Zhi hurried to see off Dajie and the three heroes among the "Three Heroes of the Train". The three of them were reluctant to part with each other outside the city and could not be separated. After Wu Zhi swears to the sky that he promised to go to the capital to see them as soon as possible, the three of them parted in tears.
Wu Zhi felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away.
In the spacious soft mat carriage, Li Shishi looked at Liang Hongyu with red eyes and couldn't help but comfort him: "Sister, don't you be sad, didn't you agree to see you as soon as possible?" Liang Hongyu started crying first, which made the two of them cry. Liang Hongyu suddenly burst into laughter and said: "You are sad, I wish you could leave this ghost place early." Looking at Li Shishi who was stunned, she smiled and said: "Sister, don't you really want to bear with him? It sounds nice to tell the story he told, but it's a pity. This girl just looked at his self-righteous look and didn't like him. When he came to the capital, she would see how he, the third sister, would treat him well." As she said that, Li Shishi was stunned and couldn't speak anymore.
Wu Zhi was walking and asked Long Wu about buying the servants of the Ximen family. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and he couldn't help but shivered. Looking around in surprise, Mu Jingzhu stopped, shook his head and continued to discuss with Long Wu.
Sitting on the sandalwood chair in the living room, he responded with a smirk and thanked Wang Po. Looking at the joyful look in his eyes when the old witch turned around, Wu Zhi sneered secretly, since you have to get involved, don’t blame me for being rude.
Pan Jinlian kept sending Wang Po out of the yard and jumped into the room step by step. Seeing her happy look, Wu Zhi sighed secretly. No wonder, I'm afraid Wang Po is her only friend. I don't know how sad she will be when she knows the truth about Wang Po approaching her in the future. Thinking of this, she stood up and said, "Jinlian, my husband is free today. Let's take you to buy some rouge powder."
Pan Jinlian immediately became happy and said, "It doesn't matter whether you buy something or not. This is the first time my husband has accompanied Jinlian on the street. Wait a minute, I will change my clothes and come soon." As he said that, he ran into the back hall happily.
Wu Zhi smiled. Women are women. They were like this before, but they were still like this after hundreds of years. Why do they like to go shopping? Why do they change clothes before shopping? Thinking of this, when I saw Pan Jinlian coming out, my eyes lit up. The jade man in front of me was so beautiful, and her emerald green skirt made her look even more charming, and her imposing beauty was suffocating.
Wu Zhi sighed and said, "I really don't want to take you out with you when you dress up like this." As he said that, his eyes blinked at the bedroom. Pan Jinlian's shameless face turned red, and she glared at him and walked out, followed by the little girl Yulan. Wu Zhi hurriedly followed, but he didn't expect that this Yulan would have a few tricks, and it was really interesting to win Jinlian's favor in just one day. Wu Zhi sneered in his heart, quickened his pace, and walked beside Pan Jinlian.
The three of them wandered around. What Pan Jinlian didn't expect was that the people they saw along the way were greeting her and her party with a smile, and they greeted Wu Zhi in a constant stream. There were also a few who were flattering and said to Wu Zhi. When they saw Wu Zhi a little impatient, they smiled and left again. These people turned a blind eye to their beauty, and never looked at her more. They just smiled and said hello to her and never turned their eyes around. Although they didn't know the identities of these people, they looked at him.
Their clothes were all silk and satin, and their clothes were gorgeous. I think they were all people with some identities. As for the various shops they entered, they were even more attentive to entertain, and they were even more respectful than their boss. Although Pan Jinlian was strange in her heart, she felt a sense of pride. She looked at Wu Zhi with a plain face beside her happily, and saw that his calm expression had a kind of majesty in her calm expression, as if everything was taken for granted, as if he was born to be a person who looked down on all living beings. Pan Jinlian was a little crazy.
The largest jewelry store in Yanggu is opened by Majia, Dongcheng. Although it is not as good as the shops in those big cities, it also has many styles and is a must-have store for the upper class of Yanggu to buy jewelry.
After a series of shocks, when Wu Zhi led her into this store that she had never dreamed of before, Pan Jinlian felt calm, as if she was following Wu Zhi. Even if she entered the most luxurious place in the world, it would be natural. Even if she went to the dragon and tiger den, she would have her support. The happy little Jinlian followed closely by the gangster Wu Zhi, watching the shopkeeper of the jewelry store respectfully take out the treasured jade jewelry, and watched Wu Zhi carefully appreciate it one by one, and occasionally painted it on her, asking her opinions. Although she felt a little dazzled, she just said sweetly: "You are going to make the decision, husband."
"Your husband, it's good to look good."
“What my husband said is…”
Wu Zhi smiled bitterly, thinking that the beauty is a little strange now. Looking at the jewelry in front of him, he was a little confused. The goatee horse manager next to him looked at Wu Zhi pondering and thought he didn't even care about these things. His eyes turned and said, "Since the great official doesn't like these, the small one can only show off their ugly faces. Our boss has a treasured white jade hollow phoenix flower bi, which was not a product, but since the great official is here, the small one will take it out to see if it fits you."
