On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

The days of studying are boring, but they also pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a month since the girls' school started. The relationship between the six ladies has become increasingly tense.

Xu Shihuan performed well in several quizzes, which attracted Taifu Gao's repeated praise.

Maybe they could see the discord between them. Taifu Gao now teaches for two hours every day. The rest of the time is left to them to arrange by themselves. If they have any questions, they can come to him to answer them.

Xu Shihuan's life has been difficult recently. Deng Wanyu spoke for Xu Shihuan that day, but was isolated by those four people. In anger, she determined to tie herself and Xu Shihuan tightly together.

Every day before dawn, the Deng Mansion's carriage stopped at the door of the Xu Mansion, saying that it was here to pick up Xu Shihuan to go to class. When Mrs. Xu heard that the daughter of the Deng family was friendly with Xu Shihuan, she often asked Deng Wanyu to come in and sit with her.

In just a few days, Deng Wanyu and Guan Shanyue became good friends. If Xu Shihuan had not firmly opposed it, Mrs. Xu would have wanted her to call her Aunt Deng Wanyu.

Today, the female student is taking a break. Xu Shihuan wanted to have a good sleep, but unexpectedly, early in the morning, Deng Wanyu came again.

"Shihuan, wake up quickly. The Wen family is holding a market today. Let's go see what's new!"

Every year on the first day of October, the Wen family, the imperial merchants, would hold a market in Yong'an City. The market is divided into east and west markets. The east market brings together specialties from all over the country. It is also a place where young ladies and young men of various families like to visit.

The West Market is where things are collected. Farmers and craftsmen can bring their own grain, vegetables, meat, embroidery, and furniture here, and there will be waiters at the corresponding stalls to buy them.

The same thing may only cost a few tens of pennies to buy in the West Market, but it will cost several taels of silver to sell in the East Market. As soon as it came in and out, all the money went into the pockets of the Wen family.

Wanhua Kingdom does not allow people to trade privately. Once discovered, they will be fined and beaten, and their heads will be lost in serious cases. Although the people were angry, they had no choice but to vent their anger on the Wen family.

Xu Shihuan was wearing a sky-blue dress today, with butterflies embroidered with silver silk thread on the hem, which looked like they were about to fly from a distance.

"Shihuan, wait for me!"

In contrast, Deng Wanyu was dressed much more grandly. She chose a pomegranate skirt today. The bright color reminded Xu Shihuan of persimmons on the autumn tree.

The beaded hairpin on her head was obviously carefully selected and actually matched the clothes on her body. I don't know whether Deng Wanyu came to visit the market or to meet her lover.

"Why are you running in such a hurry? I won't leave you and run away first."

As Xu Shihuan spoke, he casually straightened Deng Wanyu's scattered hair. Deng Wanyu was already petite, and it was even more obvious when she stood next to Xu Shihuan. If Xu Shihuan changed into men's clothes today, others would probably praise him for his talent and appearance.

The shouts and laughter are endless.

Dignified young ladies and handsome young men, some gathered together in twos and threes, or alone with curious eyes, it was really lively.

Compared with the previous dynasty, the folk customs of Wanhua Kingdom are much more open. Women do not need to be secretive when going out. If a few men and women go out together, others will not say much when they see them.

"You two ladies, would you like to try this Hezhou beef jerky?"

Xu Shihuan became interested when he heard that it was made in Hezhou. But when you take a closer look, you can see that it is completely different from the local beef jerky in Hezhou.

The salesman was a clever man. Seeing the customers stop, he quickly handed over two small pieces for them to try.

In Hezhou, beef jerky is made from large pieces of beef cut into long strips, spread with secret seasoning, and then slowly roasted over charcoal fire.

But the beef jerky made years ago seems to be made from dried, semi-dried minced meat. The meat is either fat or lean, and has some sinewy parts. The minced meat is roasted over red charcoal until it becomes sizzling with oil, and then sprinkled with cumin and chili pepper, which gives it a unique flavor.

When you put it in your mouth, you can eat it chewy but effortlessly. The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes, and you can't stop eating it one bite after another.

"What you did is quite clever, but it's completely different from what I ate in Hezhou."

Seeing that Xu Shihuan was dressed in an extraordinary way and that he had actually been to Ezhou, the clerk didn't try to hide anything and said bluntly:

"The cattle and sheep in Hezhou were not originally sold to the outside world. Our boss saw that local people used whole pieces of beef to make jerky, so he asked them if they could sell the shaved corners to us. Miss, don't look at this meat. It’s just a corner, but the ingredients we prepared are not ambiguous at all. Compared with large pieces of dried meat, this dried meat is both fat and lean, with meat and sinews, and it tastes more delicious.”

Hearing this, Xu Shihuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly. Wen Yidi is indeed a good businessman. He can't buy a whole cow or sheep, but he can sell beef jerky in Yong'an City with the scraps.

Deng Wanyu had just eaten a piece and felt that she was still unsatisfied, so she immediately decided to buy a large pack. Seeing that she had bought it, Xu Shihuan also bought a small bag and planned to take it home to give his parents a taste.

"Miss, please take this beef jerky. This is lactose made by our Wen family using tea, milk, and rock sugar. You can try it when you go back. If you like it, you can buy it at Wenji Candy Shop."

After walking not far, the two of them carried a lot of things in their hands. It’s no wonder that the Wen family can be the leader among businessmen. When they buy dried meat, they get lactose, when they buy lactose, they get tea, and when they buy tea, they get refreshments.

No wonder people say that the money in their hands seems to have grown legs, and they are trying their best to run to the Wen family.

"Shihuan, wait a moment."

Deng Wanyu suddenly pulled Xu Shihuan, stretched out her hand and pointed in the distance. She saw a woman holding a child and crying in front of the stall. Standing around were two young men from the Wen family and four from the girls' school. A classmate.

"Mr. Wen, you are such a cruel person. This woman is still holding a child in her arms. She must have come to Dongshi because she had no other choice. Not only did you not help her, you also asked your servants to drive her away. "

The one who spoke was none other than Xiao Yao, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Punishment.

Xu Shihuan and Deng Wanyu listened for a while before they understood what was going on.

The woman holding the child sold a basket of persimmons in the Western Market in the morning and earned only three taels of silver. She later went to the West Market and found the Wen family's stall selling persimmons. The same basket of persimmons could be sold for almost thirty taels of silver.

She thought that she could earn so much money by planting, picking and drying. As soon as the Wen family's stall changed hands, she could make ten times her money, so they made a fuss in front of the stall and asked the Wen family's clerk to give her the extra money.

"Miss, my Wen family accepts goods on a voluntary basis. These persimmons cost three taels of silver per basket, and I will accept them if she agrees. If she doesn't agree, I won't force you. As for how much our Wen family can sell these persimmons. That's our family's ability. I can't just give her the money for free just because she's pitiful and she makes a scene. If that's the case, my Wen family's business will stop."

Although Wen Yidi's tone was gentle, his attitude had been clearly expressed. He would never give this money.

But Xiao Yao seemed to have made up her mind to stand up for this woman today.

"Miss Xiao is right. These people are the foundation of Wanhua Country. Does Mr. Wen do this to shake the foundation of our country?"

Gao Zimo's words immediately put the label of shaking the country on Wen Yidi. After hearing this, Wen Yi'an could no longer control his emotions:

"Not only are these two young ladies not good-looking, they also seem to have bad brains. If you were so kind-hearted, you could just pay the woman yourself. Why are you forcing the Wen family to pay?"

As soon as these words came out, they hit Xiao Yao's sore spot. If the Wen family dared to offend her, she wouldn't let them have an easy time:

"Come on, give these two untouchables a good beating!"
