As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

"Why are you hesitating? Just speak!"

He Zhubu's heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be calm.

The main reason was that he was too confident. With the clear class divisions among scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, he never thought that the owner of Zhang's Cloth Shop would disagree.

"He won't agree?"

"No, it's not..."

His heart was tense and then relaxed. "What's that? Are there any conditions?"

"Just send the cotton and fabric back to them!"

He waved his hand casually.

"No, sir, this cloth shop is deserted..."

"what!"

The teacup in his hand slipped to the ground, and He Zhubu slumped weakly in the chair.

.........

At the same time, the same drama was playing out in other homes in the county.

Among them, the owner of Xie’s Cloth Shop was so angry that he almost died!

They are both cloth shops, but how come this idiot doesn’t know that Zhang’s Cloth Shop is already on the decline and is about to go bankrupt?

How dare you go to his house to buy things?

And just for the words of such a prostitute!

He was so angry that he was shaking and asked someone to whip him to punish him according to the family rules, but Madam Xie stopped him.

However, Magistrate Zhu, looking at his beautiful concubine kneeling on the ground, did not let her stand up out of pity as he usually did.

It wasn't that he felt sorry for the money, but he was the county magistrate, and his son had been cheated by a prostitute and a merchant.

What a loss of face this is!

Although County Magistrate Zhu had not done much over the years and had been just relying on his official position to get by, he guessed the trick at a glance.

This Liu Yinyin has probably been in collusion with the owner of Zhang's Cloth Shop for a long time, and now Zhang's is on the verge of bankruptcy.

So the two of them came up with this idea.

Let Zhang Ji make a fortune first, and then the two of them will take the money and run away!

You are using the words of Beijing officials as examples, what a joke!

No one in the capital took this seriously. How could one believe the words of a prostitute!

In fact, it’s true. Although Liu Yinyin just wanted to help her lover, she accidentally guessed the truth of the matter.

It's just that no one thought that this would actually happen in the future.

Because Liu Yinyin caused the price of cotton to rise in the entire Cangnan County, Chen Yan thought something else had happened.

"Dad, Yinyin is not that kind of person. She must have been deceived by that Zhang!"

Zhu Pang's mother's back was already wet with sweat. She wanted to rush over and cover her son's mouth, but under the pressure she dared not move and could only worry.

"hehe!"

County Magistrate Zhu sneered, "You can go check now to see if Liu Yinyin is still in Zui Xiang Lou!"

"Idiot, if I had known, I would have given the baby to your mother to raise as soon as it was born!"

He pointed his finger at me, "You are such a petty person, and you raised such an ignorant son!"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and walked away angrily, not forgetting to kick Zhu Pang before leaving.

He turned around and ordered the butler, "Lock this bastard in the room, and don't let him out without my order!"

He was actually thinking of marrying him to Wang Ji's daughter, an alliance between officials and businessmen, so that he could control the lifeline of the entire Changnan County.

Now it seems that I have to find another son.

A legitimate son definitely won’t work, so we can only replace him with a illegitimate son.

Merchants are inferior to others!

He couldn't bear to let his legitimate son marry into such a family, but he had to do it anyway, so he could just marry a bastard's son instead.

He has already asked the county magistrate to prepare generous gifts and visit the Wang family, but he doesn't know how the matter is going.

As for the fabric, I can just find a random merchant to take it over. It won't hurt me anyway...

Everyone had the same thought after learning that Liu Yinyin and Boss Zhang had run away.

.......

Father Chen went out for a walk early in the morning and saw other people in the village moving piles of sacks out of the yard.

He walked up and asked, "What is this for?"

"Old Chen, we're selling grain! Why don't you sell it?"

"I haven't seen your family sell anything this year."

Being reminded of the grain sale again, Father Chen began to get anxious. "My wife said we should wait until our daughter's wedding is over before we talk about it."

"What kind of wedding is this? Isn't that all prepared by the man?"

"Besides, even if there's less food, it won't be that much. Why don't you just sell half of it first and leave it there instead of stockpiling it?"

Chen's father thought the same and hurried back to discuss it with Zheng. Zheng got a headache when she heard that he wanted to sell grain.

She followed the idea that the third brother had come up with and said, "When I went to the town to buy fabrics yesterday, the price of cotton had gone up, and the boss said that the price of grain would go up too!"

“Are you sure you want to sell it now?”

"Really?"

Father Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, a little unconvinced, "The price of grain has been this high for the past few years, how much higher can it go?"

"Fake!"

Zheng looked cold and pretended to be angry.

"Believe it or not, but if you lose a lot of money in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Zheng knew Chen's father quite well. The more you forbad him to do something, the more he wanted to do it.

On the other hand, if you don't stop him and tell him the gossip he heard from others, he will hesitate for a long time and then dare not do it.

As expected, although Chen's father did not make a decision immediately, he did not pack the food and take it to the town to sell.

After a while, he came up to Zheng while she was cooking in the kitchen and said, "Well, I'll listen to you and not sell it."

After saying that, he waved his hand and went out.

Seeing that she had succeeded, Zheng felt much more relaxed cooking without caring that he didn't step forward to help.

Xiao Zheng is also on her way back now. The engagement ended in just two days.

She slept at her mother's house with Yaoyao. It was really inconvenient to have so many people crowded in the house.

So the marriage must be well arranged and I came back immediately.

When the ox cart arrived at Yulin Village, Yaoyao had fallen asleep in her arms, and she struggled to carry her daughter home.

When I returned to the house, Chen Ping was not there.

But she saw a wooden box on the table. She opened it without thinking too much, and a delicate and small silver earring came into her sight.

She smiled instantly, knowing without even looking that it was bought for her by her husband!

Xiao Zheng was surprised and delighted. He held the earrings in his palms and looked at them carefully, not daring to put them on his ears.

I was afraid of breaking this precious thing.

This is the first time in my life that I own a decent piece of jewelry!

When Chen Ping came back, he saw his wife sitting with her back to him. When she turned around, she was wearing the pair of silver earrings on her ears.

Little Zheng smiled at him, stood up and turned around, "Does it look good?"

After all, she is already a mother and is of some age. When Zheng smiles, fine lines are visible at the corners of her eyes, and the traces of time can still be seen.

But Chen Ping felt that at this moment, she was as beautiful as the girl in the painting.

"nice!"

He murmured on the spot, "My wife is so beautiful!"
