The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

Ningtang County is a small county. There are only two streets in this county. One runs east-west and is very long. People here call it a vertical street. The other runs north-south and is relatively short. People here call it a horizontal street. .

This county is located in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are not many rivers, but even so, there is a river running through the entire county.

People in the county town wash and wash their vegetables here, so it is always very lively here, and gradually, some people from nearby villages will drive a boat to this river after collecting their own vegetables, and then stop. Sell ​​by the river.

Over time, the river has become a vegetable market in the county town.

It was just dawn every day, and many people came around the river, making a lot of noise, and there were also many small vendors who took out fresh vegetables from their boats for sale.

At this moment, everyone found a boat parked on the shore, but there was no one on it, but a piece of clothing was hung on the bow, and there were a few words written on it.

However, most of the people present could not read, so they could not understand the meaning of those words.

"What is this boat for?"

"Yeah, stop like this, what are you doing?"

Some people looked at the ship curiously, and some people came closer to take a look...

"Ah!" There was an exclamation, and a person who approached looked at the boat in horror.

This person seemed to be frightened, but it was precisely because of this that more people were attracted to look at the boat. It was at this time that they discovered that in the cabin where the curtain was lifted, there were several people lying there. A blood-stained, tied-up man.

This... what's going on here?

"Quickly report to the official!" Someone said, and quickly ran to report to the official.

The people of Ningtang County reported the boat and the people lying on it to the officials. At the same time, various speculations about the boat were spreading rapidly in the county town, and the instigator of all this was , but had left Ningtang County at this time.

It was already dawn, and Jiang Zhen asked Wang Haisheng to row the boat, but he himself washed off the blood stains on the boat, and tidied up the cargo on the boat.

During this period, Wang Haisheng had been watching him secretly, and he was extremely inattentive.

When Wang Haisheng looked over again, Jiang Zhen looked over and frowned: "What are you looking at?"

"No...it's nothing." Wang Haisheng said quickly.

Jiang Zhen took a few glances at Wang Haisheng. Yesterday, he didn't avoid Wang Haisheng, no matter whether he beat or injured people at the beginning or forced a confession later. Later, he put those water bandits with more or less wounds in their boat When it was sent to Ningtang County, Wang Haisheng was asked to carry it.

He did this to test Wang Haisheng.

Wang Haisheng has always thought that he is a good person, but he himself is actually different from what Wang Haisheng imagined.

"What do you think of what I did before?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"Jiang Zhen, you can read!" Wang Haisheng looked at Jiang Zhen with admiration: "I didn't expect you to be able to read, no wonder you did the calculations so quickly before, you are really amazing!"

The admiration in Wang Haisheng's eyes cannot be ignored, but Jiang Zhen is a little speechless. Could it be that Wang Haisheng kept peeking at him before, just because he thought he was very good at reading?

"Let me ask you, what do you think of us beating up the water bandits?" Jiang Zhen said.

"This... water bandits deserve to die." Wang Haisheng said, "Why do we send officials?" People like them who live in nowhere have always kept the government at a respectful distance, and they like to settle things by themselves instead of sending officials.At the same time, it is probably because they have seen too much life and death, and they are actually much more accepting of killing people than modern people. Water bandits will kill them, and it is nothing for them to kill water bandits.

Jiang Zhen smiled: "Wang Haisheng, you will follow me from now on, as long as you listen to me, I will let you live a good life."

"I've been following you." Wang Haisheng looked at Jiang Zhen puzzled.

"That's right... By the way, you can call me boss in the future." Jiang Zhen said.

Wang Haisheng agreed, and then, Jiang Zhen gave him an ingot of about ten taels of silver: "Take it."

"This... this..." Wang Haisheng looked at Jiang Zhen in surprise. He always thought that if he worked with Jiang Zhen, it would be nice if he could have food and shelter. He didn't expect Jiang Zhen to give him money.

"I did a good job last night, here it is for you." Jiang Zhen said, thinking that in the next few days, he must train Wang Haisheng well, and instill some ideas in Wang Haisheng by the way.

This shouldn't be difficult. People like Wang Haisheng who have never gone to school are definitely easy to fool.

Of course, the most urgent task is to copy the lairs of those water bandits.

Those water bandits had already recruited out the location of their lair yesterday, but it was too dark last night, so Jiang Zhen didn't go there, and only went to look for it at dawn.

The so-called old nest is actually a house in a relatively remote place. Those water bandits live on the boat during the day, but come here to sleep at night. Most of their money is carried with them, but the goods they rob are will be stacked here.

When Jiang Zhen entered the room and looked around, he felt like he had gotten rich.

These water bandits are lazy, and they are unwilling to sell the goods they have robbed, so that there are so many goods piled up here. Although a few of the food inside are broken, the rest can be sold, and...these things are still there. Worth more than the cargo on his ship.

Without hesitation, Jiang Zhen loaded all the goods onto the ship. Because there were too many goods, their ship almost couldn't fit them in the end.

Among the goods were cloth and china, large bundles of candles and even... some books.

There is no book in Hexi Village, so after Jiang Zhen traveled here, he has never read a book.

He sent Wang Haisheng to go boating, and when he had nothing to do, he opened the book in his hand and read it, and then found...he couldn't understand it.

In the army, Jiang Zhen was actually very knowledgeable. Not only did he have a good knowledge of firearms, he also knew three foreign languages, namely English and two languages ​​​​from Southeast Asia.

English was learned by memorizing and listening to tapes when he was studying, and he learned it abruptly for the exam. The latter two languages ​​were learned for doing tasks, and he was taken to lock up with relevant teachers. I have lived in the environment for a long time, and I am even more like the locals.

But he can speak three foreign languages, but has never learned traditional Chinese characters.

But now the book in his hand, the characters on it are not only traditional characters, there is no punctuation, and the words and sentences are so unreadable.

Can't he write some vernacular... At least he can understand the simplified version of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Outlaws of the Marsh, and he can also guess the signs hanging on the doors of the shops in Fucheng...

Jiang Zhen looked at the book in his hand and stared at it.

Wang Haisheng looked at Jiang Zhen, but the expression of admiration on his face became stronger.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhen is still a scholar!He has always felt that scholars are unattainable, but he never thought that there is one beside him!

On the other side, in the county seat of Tangning County, the county magistrate frowned as he looked at the piece of clothing that had been taken off the bow with writing on it: "What is written on it?"

The people on that boat were more or less injured, and they looked like they had been tortured, so they don't know what happened to them, and who kidnapped them to the county...

"My lord, I read... It seems that these people are all water bandits. They have robbed many people and even killed traders, so they are here to see off the officials." The master of Tangning County said.These words were written in a mess, if he hadn't seen those yamen servants who couldn't read a few characters write a bunch of characters with missing arms and legs when he was dealing with those yamen officials, he would definitely not be able to recognize them now.

Come to think of it, the person who caught these water bandits and sent them off to officials probably just learned a few words indiscriminately.

The county magistrate of Downing County would not take the initiative to arrest those small groups of gangsters who were running around, but he was still very satisfied and happy when someone caught those gangsters and delivered them to him.

After interrogation, it was found that these people were indeed water bandits, and after they had killed some foreigners, the county magistrate of Tangning County directly sentenced them to death. At this time, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng were still selling various goods.

In addition to selling things, Jiang Zhen would also tell stories to Wang Haisheng every day, setting aside half an hour each morning and evening to let him exercise and teach him fighting skills.

This Wang Haisheng is not young, ten years older than Boss Jiang, it is impossible to learn more profoundly, so Jiang Zhen mainly asked him to learn to stab with a bamboo pole.

Wang Haisheng is a hard-working man. Although he is exhausted every day, as long as Jiang Zhen asks, he will seriously complete it. He is definitely the most obedient soldier Jiang Zhen has ever led.

As a reward, Jiang Zhen bought a catty of pork every day, cooked it and ate it with Wang Haisheng.

Now, Wang Haisheng worked harder.

Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng spent more than ten days without selling out all their goods, but Jiang Zhen already planned to return to Hecheng County.

He is still waiting to go back and marry brother Zhao Jin!I don't want to face Wang Haisheng all day anymore.

Jiang Zhen now has 320 taels of silver in his hand, plus several boxes of copper coins.This really has to be converted, but it is actually not as good as the wealth of the Jiang family. After all, the land in the hands of the Jiang family is very valuable, but even so, this is not a small fortune.

Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng rowed the boat and returned to Fucheng first.

After arriving in Fucheng, Jiang Zhen first went to get his custom-made clothes, then went to the blacksmith's shop to buy an iron pot, a kitchen knife and some agricultural tools, and then went to buy oil, soy sauce, sugar, and some seasonings...

This time, Jiang Zhen can be said to have made a big purchase, spending almost 20 taels of silver, and bought all the things the family needed.

Wang Haisheng looked at the bright red new toilet on the boat, and felt that Jiang Zhen seemed to be a different person. He bought the cheapest cloth for Brother Zhao Jing before, but he didn't expect to buy the expensive toilet now.

Jiang Zhen didn't know what Wang Haisheng was thinking. He was not a stingy person. He didn't spend money before because he didn't have money, but now that he had money, he naturally wanted to spend it.

He even bought Zhao Jinge a hairpin.

In the city, some well-born twins will be raised by their parents as sons, and they will even be able to read and write. Hair rolled up.

Jiang Zhen picked out one of those unfeminine hairpins that can be used by both children and bought it, and it was also the most expensive of all the things he bought.

Carrying a cargo of goods, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng embarked on the return journey.

At the same time, the villagers of Hexi Village are all talking about a great event.

The Zhao family is going to have a wedding!

Although Jiang Zhen said in public that he fell in love with Zhao Jinge, the villagers didn't take it seriously. They only said that Jiang Zhen wanted to stay with the Zhao family and let the Zhao family serve him.

Later, when they saw that Jiang Zhen was either eating at Zhao's house, or asking Zhao Liu to bring him meals, they became more sure of this, and even sympathized with Zhao's family.

As a result... when Jiang Zhen left Hexi Village and didn't know where he went, the Zhao family actually started planning a wedding!

At first, when someone heard that the Zhao family went to the blind man to ask about the date of their marriage, they thought they were going to marry Zhao Jinge to avoid Jiang Zhen while Jiang Zhen was away, but someone went to Zhao Liu's place to ask, and they were caught. Tell them that they want to marry Zhao Jinge to Jiang Zhen!

No, they didn't want Brother Zhao Jing to marry Jiang Zhen, but... they wanted Jiang Zhen to marry into the Zhao family.

This... Are the Zhao family crazy?

They really dare to think, does Jiang Zhen agree?

In the countryside, it is normal for a poor person to be a door-to-door son-in-law, but no one in Hexi Village thinks that Jiang Zhen is willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law.

"Jiang Zhen is actually pretty good. He is sincere to our brother Jin. He... he has been thinking about Brother Jin all the time!" Zhao Liushi took the trouble to tell a friend about this again.

The friend looked at Zhao Liushi with pity, but still didn't believe it, only thinking that Zhao Liushi was deceiving himself and others.

There is a Shuang'er in their village who is like this. Although his family is poor, he tells others that his family lives well and eats meat every day... The Zhao family probably is like this.

The Zhao family is making furniture and making quilts. Zhao Fugui doesn't go to work anymore. He keeps the house clean...

His family didn't have any money at all, if it wasn't for being forced by Jiang Zhen, he definitely wouldn't spend it like this!

And Brother Zhao Jin, if Brother Zhao Jin grows up like that, it is possible that Jiang Zhen is sincere to him and still misses him?

"Jiang Zhen is really nice, he gave us money." Zhao Liu said again, showing the bracelet on his hand: "He also bought me a bracelet."

"You..." The visitor sighed, this Zhao Liu family can tell a lot of lies.She said at first that Jiang Zhen wanted to be the son-in-law of their family. Since he was the son-in-law, how could Jiang Zhen give her money and buy her a bracelet?

Jiang Zhen and his parents are very clear about it. Could it be possible to be so stupid at this time?Moreover, the preparations for the marriage were almost done, and Jiang Zhen didn't see anyone. He didn't know where he went. It was obvious that he didn't care about the marriage at all.

Therefore, it was probably Zhao Liushi's nonsense. As for her bracelet... "I didn't expect you to hide a bracelet." , The Zhao family didn't sell it because of an accident.

Zhao Liu's face was full of depression, and even more aggrieved.
