Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

Zhang Chi raised his head and saw the woman in front of him clearly. She was about 50 or [-] years old, wearing a maroon blouse, a deep taupe-colored jacket vest, a bun tied loosely on her head, and a golden hairpin stuck in it. Shaken by the woman's exaggerated laugh.As soon as the person came over, Zhang Chi smelled a strong fragrance of powder.

Zhang Chi didn't know this woman, but the visitor was a guest, so he asked politely, "Excuse me, who are you?"

The woman laughed tremblingly, and looked Zhang Chi up and down carefully with her slender eyes, thinking, no wonder Miss Jiang likes it, this appearance, this figure, is really exciting!

Seeing that Zhang Chi was getting impatient, she quickly said, "There are really not many people in this town who don't know me! Mr. Zhang, you can just call me Sister Hong. I'm here today to congratulate you! "

Looking at her dress and words, Zhang Chi had some guesses in his heart.He became inexplicably irritable, and his face turned cold.

"I don't know where the joy comes from?"

"Ouch! Mr. Zhang, this is such a great joy!" Sister Hong looked at the lobby of the teahouse. There were not many guests, and most of them were drinking tea quietly, so she pulled Lazhangchi's sleeve and pulled him to a corner next to him. Li, lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Zhang, the county magistrate's lady has taken a fancy to you and wants to marry you. Do you think this is a good thing?"

The strong smell of powder made Zhang Chi take a step back, and said lightly: "Sister Hong, I'm afraid you made a mistake. I'm already married, how can I still marry a wife?"

"Mr. Zhang, isn't it a pity that a twin like you is willing to marry? Although you are married, you have no children. How easy is it to want to reconcile? Besides, isn't the second young master of the Gu family going to marry Meng?" Miss? The Meng family is a big family. How can you be a concubine with peace of mind when the lady of his family comes in? You are a twin, and the family has no confidence. How can you earn money from others? Maybe the Second Young Master Gu would like you to mention it. And leave!"

"Who said that Second Young Master Gu is going to marry Miss Meng's family?" Zhang Chi's face darkened.

Sister Hong smiled proudly: "I did this. How could I not know? The Meng family is rich, and the young lady is beautiful. How could the Gu family not agree to such a good marriage?"

"As far as I know, Gu Xihe didn't agree."

"Hey! If you agree with him or not, he can decide? Marrying a wife and taking a concubine, which one is not the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker? Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? So I say, you take advantage of him to take a concubine When you proposed to divorce and marry Miss Jiang, wouldn’t you have achieved two beautiful things? Let me tell you, Mrs. Jiang is only such a daughter, and the future family property will not be all yours? Why bother to run a small business here? What about the small teahouse?"

Zhang Chi was very angry, he and Gu Xihe were finally going to live a good life, why are there so many people looking forward to their divorce?He knew that Gu Xihe had clearly rejected the marriage with the Meng family, but he still felt uncomfortable.It's not that he doesn't believe in Gu Xihe, but he doesn't like the marriage system here, why can't he be monogamous?

He thought of Jiang Tinglan again, she was pretty, and her speech was gentle and polite. To be honest, he had a good impression of her.It's just that she doesn't understand that he and her have only met once, yet she wants to marry him?

Zhang Chi touched his face, she just took a fancy to this skin.I can't help but sigh, even this world depends on faces!Unfortunately, she saw the wrong person.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi's tone softened a lot, "Sister Hong, please go back and tell Miss Jiang that I will not reconcile with Second Young Master Gu, nor will I marry a wife. Let her choose another good son-in-law?"

"Why did you reject it so quickly? This is a great thing! Think about it again, huh?"

Zhang Chi shook his head, his gaze became firmer, "Sister Hong, I won't think about it. Please go back!"

Sister Hong looked at Shang Zhangchi, and suddenly felt that nothing she said was useless.

She thought for a while, and then said: "Mr. Zhang, you should understand. Mr. Jiang is the magistrate of this county. If you offend him, life in this teahouse may be difficult for you!"

Zhang Chi's heart trembled, but he was not afraid, "Sister Hong, please go back and tell Miss Jiang, please do whatever she wants, I won't marry her anyway!"

"You! Why are you so stubborn?" Sister Hong didn't expect Zhang Chi to speak so directly, and stomped her feet bitterly, "You can obviously marry a wife and have children, and be the head of the family, why should you depend on a man? Second Young Master Gu will definitely take concubines in the future, so are you willing to share a man with several women?"

Zhang Chi hated hearing Gu Xi and concubine's words the most, and his voice was even colder.

"Sister Hong, you don't need to say any more, I've made up my mind. Sun Zheng, send the guests off!"

"Oh."

Sun Zheng approached Sister Hong, and frowned at the fragrance of the powder on her body. He was still two steps away, and said, "Guest, go slowly!"

Sister Hong glanced at Zhang Chi unwillingly, and said bitterly: "Zhang Chi, don't regret it!"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

When Sun Zheng came back, he saw that Zhang Chi was looking down, and he was reading a book alone behind the counter, and asked Cui Jingshun in a low voice, "Uncle Cui, who was that woman just now?"

Of course Cui Jingshun knew Sister Hong, but he couldn't guess her purpose for coming here.He just stroked his beard and whispered: "The woman just now is a famous matchmaker in this town."

With just this sentence, Sun Zheng understood.

"Is she here to match Zhang Chi? But Zhang Chi is already married!"

Cui Jingshun raised his hand and patted him on the head, "Are you stupid? You can leave after marriage! Just like Zhang Chi, I don't know how many men and women like it! Besides, it doesn't have to be a matchmaking for Zhang Chi, maybe It's for the boss."

"Heli?" Sun Zheng touched the place where he was photographed, "Zhang Chi and the boss, how is it possible?"

Cui Jingshun looked at Zhang Chi, saw that he hadn't noticed the two of them, and said, "Of course it's impossible! But we understand that people outside don't understand! You don't know, when the boss wanted to divorce Zhang Chi, there was almost half a commotion. Everyone in the town knows about it. So, there are still many people who are matchmaking for the boss!"

"Ah? The boss is going to divorce the lady boss, right? Is there some misunderstanding?"

After Sun Zheng came, what he saw was that Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe were sticky and very affectionate, and Gu Xihe was always gentle and kind, not to say he was obedient to Zhang Chi, but it was almost the same.So he couldn't imagine why Gu Xihe wanted to divorce Zhang Chi.

"I don't know the specifics, it seems to be because..."

Cui Jingshun's voice was very low, but Zhang Chi said: "Why don't you two come to ask me?"

Sun Zheng immediately stood up straight and took a step back.

Cui Jingshun laughed and bent over, "Zhang Chi, we don't mean anything else, just curious about that sister Hong..."

Zhang Chi rubbed his brows, and said lightly: "Don't be curious, it has nothing to do with you anyway, just work hard!"

"Oh."

Zhang Chi seldom puts on the airs of the boss, but he is really downcast, even Cui Jingshun has to listen honestly, let alone Sun Zheng.The two looked at each other, what should they do.

Being disturbed by Sister Hong in such a way, Zhang Chi only felt that his heart was in a mess, and he couldn't do anything with peace of mind.After reading for a long time, I didn't read a single word in the book.He looked up at the sparsely seated guests in the lobby, and stood up.

"Uncle Cui, don't you want to take me to find a blacksmith? Let's go now!"

"it is good."

Zhang Chi thought about installing the stove in the lobby before Gu Xihe came back, and when he came back, he could live a two-person world with him with peace of mind.

Things went well. Tiejiang Sun already had two ready-made stoves in his home. One of them was made too big and was not sold. He said he could sell it directly to Zhang Chi, but Zhang Chi thought it was too small.

Tiejiang Sun rubbed his hands and smiled honestly, "Brother, you can change it if you want, but it's more troublesome. You might as well use this first, and I'll make you a bigger one. It's been cold recently, and I'm in the business of stoves. There are too many, and there is really no time to change it. After I have been busy for a while, I will make you a big one, and you can return the small one to me, how about it?"

Zhang Chi saw that he was so honest, and the size of the stove was only a little smaller, so it should be usable, "Then thank you, Brother Sun. But, Brother Sun, I need to install a chimney on this stove, I hope you can follow my instructions. drawings."

"Okay, let me take a look." Tiejiang Sun took Zhang Chi's blueprint and saw the difference with just one glance. "Your chimney is so long, do you still have to turn?"

"Yes. I want the chimney to turn half a circle in the house, so that the heat is all in the house, and the house will be warm. I wonder if Brother Sun can do it?"

"Yes, of course!" Sun Jinshuan was very excited when he saw such a novel chimney design, "Don't worry, I will definitely make it!"

After negotiating the price and installation time with Tiejiang Sun, Zhang Chi's mood became a little better.

Looking at the time, the teahouse was about to close, so Zhang Chi let Cui Jingshun go home first.

He walked slowly to the teahouse, thinking that after taking a look at it, he should go back to pick up Xiao An.

Sun Zheng lay on the counter, looking at the gradually deserted lobby, it was cold, there were fewer people, and he was a little tired.Especially the injured leg, a little sore and sore.

He was a little confused, what should he do in the future?

The work in the teahouse is not tiring, and it is relatively quiet. It is good to keep doing it here.At the beginning, he thought about finding a small place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to spend the rest of his life alone after he was discharged from the army.This place is actually in line with his ideal, a small town, a small teahouse, quiet enough, and simple enough.Gu Xihe is a very good boss, Cui Shu takes good care of him, not to mention Zhang Chi.

Just go on like this!Sun Zheng closed his eyes, even if Zhang Chi couldn't remember him, he would be satisfied if he could be by his side and live a peaceful and ordinary life with him.

When Zhang Chi entered the door, he saw the nostalgic and peaceful look on Sun Zheng's face.His heart moved, perhaps, Sun Zheng is also a person with a story!

Seeing Zhang Chi coming in, Sun Zheng immediately returned to his usual dull expression. "You're back?"

Zhang Chi nodded and looked around, "All the guests have left?"

"Ah."

"Brother Sun, it's cold at night, do you have enough quilts? If you don't have enough money, ask Uncle Cui for it."

"Enough is enough. I'm alone, nothing to spend."

Although Sun Zheng said that he only needed three meals and one night, Zhang Chi still gave him a salary according to the salary level of the teahouse waiter in the town.What Sun Zheng said was true, he really didn't spend much by himself.

"Since there is no one else, then close the door! You also go to bed earlier."

Sun Zheng agreed, and went to close the shop door. When the shop door opened, a person came in.

"You... why are you here again?"

It's Tweety.

Cui'er frowned, and said coldly, "Is Zhang Chi here?"

Sun Zheng frowned, before he was about to speak, Zhang Chi had already spoken not far away.

"I'm here, what can I do for you?"

Cui'er took a few steps forward and said angrily, "Zhang Chi, I didn't expect you to be such a ignorant person!"

Before Zhang Chi could speak, Sun Zheng stopped in front of Tweet angrily, "Please be careful with your words!"

"Go away!" Cui'er pulled Sun Zheng away and took two steps forward, "Zhang Chi, you know that my lady loves you, why don't you want to marry her?"

Zhang Chi laughed, "Whether to marry or not is my business, what does it have to do with you?"

"You! If our lady didn't like you, do you think I would come to talk to you?"

Zhang Chi's face darkened, "Like? Do I want her to like me? If I want to marry every woman who likes me, wouldn't I have wives and concubines in groups? Which one of our daimyo has stipulated this? Besides I've already been married, I think you and your lady are clear about it? I don't agree, what's wrong?"

"You!" Tweety blushed, and she wanted to say more when Jiang Tinglan walked in.

Her face was pale, she approached Zhang Chi slowly, and said softly: "Zhang Chi, I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of Tweety. Can I...can I talk to you?"

In front of Sun Zheng and Cui'er, Zhang Chi couldn't help but give her face, she was a girl after all.

"What does the lady want to say?"

Jiang Tinglan bit her lips, raised her slightly lowered eyelids, and looked at Zhang Chi, "Zhang Chi, do you really not think about it? If you agree, I guarantee that your life will be much better than it is now. Don't you want to do it?" A man, owns his own business?"

Jiang Tinglan blushed, if she didn't really like Zhang Chi, she wouldn't have the cheek to come here.Sister Hong told her that Zhang Chi was unwilling to reconcile, she didn't expect it, because people like Zhang Chi must value friendship, which is what she likes.If Zhang Chi could leave Gu Xihe easily, he would also leave her easily.

Zhang Chi sighed for a long time, "Miss' kindness, Zhang Chi appreciates it, but I can't accept it."

"why?"

"Because I like Gu Xihe, and I just want to spend the rest of my life with him."

Zhang Chi really didn't want to show affection, but he only had this reason.

Jiang Tinglan thought of many reasons, but only this one did not come to her mind.

She couldn't figure it out, how could she be inferior to a man as a young lady?

"But, are you sure that Gu Xihe likes you? If he liked you, he wouldn't want to divorce you."

Zhang Chi chuckled, "It was all a misunderstanding before. I don't need to prove my relationship with Xihe to others. Miss Jiang, it's getting late, you should go back. Miss Jiang, I advise you, a girl, don't take it lightly. Say you like it."

"You..." Jiang Tinglan looked at the gentleness on Zhang Chi's face, feeling unwilling, why didn't this man belong to her?Why didn't I know him earlier?

She gritted her teeth, "Zhang Chi, do you know whose daughter I am, if you don't want to, aren't you afraid that your teahouse will not be able to open?"
