husband in another world

In the backyard of the county government office, surrounded by green trees and full of flowers, the wife of the county magistrate sat in the gazebo to enjoy the cool, drinking a cup of herbal tea to relieve the heat.

Several maidservants in red and green stood behind them, shaking cattail fans lightly.

"Ma'am, look, the pomegranate flowers in our yard are blooming more brightly this year than in previous years, and they seem to be extraordinarily luxuriant." A new maidservant behind her pointed innocently and livelyly at the flowery yard.

The wife of the county magistrate was just in the mood to appreciate the blooming flowers, but when she heard this, her face suddenly changed, and she stopped drinking the herbal tea that was brought to her mouth.

Tian Xiang has been serving the matriarch's wife since she was a child, and she knows her mind best, and often knows her meaning without her words, just a look and a movement.

Immediately, she reprimanded loudly: "Ma'am, there is no place for you to talk when you are admiring the flowers, why don't you get out!"

The maid didn't know what she said wrong, she was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, trembling constantly, and was finally dragged down by the two maids.

"lady……"

The matriarch of the county, however, had no intention of admiring the flowers, so she waved her hand.

"This flower is blooming too lively, it's not suitable for meditation, let's go back."

"Yes." Tianxiang helped the wife of the county magistrate to walk into the yard, and came out after sending the person into the house and settled down.He waved his hand to attract a few maidservants, and said softly: "Find a few servants to shovel up all the pomegranate trees at home, and don't let any one fall down. If anyone asks, just say that I have a new problem recently, and I can't smell the fragrance of pomegranate flowers." Every time I smell it, I have to sneeze again and again, and my mouth and nose are red and swollen. My wife is kind, and she takes pity on me who has been serving me since I was a child, and she gave special permission to eradicate the pomegranate tree."

The maid didn't understand what Tianxiang meant, and said blankly: "Sister Tianxiang, you don't have such a chronic disease. Besides, didn't my wife like pomegranate flowers the most in the past, saying that it is an auspicious tree, which means more children and more blessings..." Speaking of this, the maid suddenly covered her mouth and dared not speak further, her exposed eyes were full of horror.

Tian Xiang poked his index finger hard on the maidservant's forehead with hatred, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Are you stupid? I have repeatedly told you not to talk nonsense, why are you still not thinking before you speak? Never mind the past What, I just said that now, I have such a strange disease, if you still want to live, remember this strange disease for me, and you can talk about it with everyone."

"Yes, yes, yes." The servant girl replied in shock, swearing pointingly, and then said cautiously: "Then why not grow pomegranates?"

"It's fine to grow anything, as long as it doesn't cause my strange problem."

The maid quietly backed away and returned to the courtyard where the servants lived. As soon as one foot stepped through the door, someone rushed up crying.

"Xiao Cui, what should I do? Madam wants to drive Xiao Li out of the house. You and Madam Tian Xiang are the closest, can you go to Sister Tian Xiang to intercede."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Cui, who was always talkative, refused this time with a serious expression, and resolutely pulled away the hand that was tightly holding her sleeve.

"I only said this when you were good sisters. Listen to my advice and don't get involved in this matter. Xiao Li must leave. Tell her not to make noise or become noisy, and leave obediently. Maybe there will be something in the future. Madam can still Nian helps her with old love."

"Why is it so serious, Xiao Li didn't say anything. Madam usually has the mildest temper and rarely loses such a big anger."

Xiao Cui sighed heavily, and only spoke for three minutes. "I asked you that the pomegranate tree is blooming well, what do you think?"

Pomegranate tree, an auspicious tree, blooms brightly and has many children.

Many children?

That's right, the bad thing is the number of children.

Some time ago, the magistrate of the county brought in a new concubine, who was very favored, but the wife never took it to heart.It's just that the little concubine's stomach is up to the challenge, and it will grow in a few months.A well-known doctor in the town was invited to feel the pulse, and they all said that the baby was probably a boy in nine out of ten.

So far, the county magistrate has only had one son born to his official wife, and the others are all daughters, so he looks forward to the boy very much.Knowing that the concubine's child was very likely to be a son, she was overjoyed.In addition, it can barely be regarded as an old man, and he pays more attention to it.Promised on the spot that if the concubine could really give birth to a son, she would be rewarded with ten acres of fertile land, one thousand taels of silver, and one shop.For a while, the concubine had the same scenery, and she was very proud. The whole mansion was carefully serving her, and she seemed to have a faint tendency to overshadow the magistrate's wife in the limelight.

For this reason, the county matriarch's wife is depressed every day, and now Xiao Li directly said that the pomegranate flowers are blooming more lushly this year than in previous years. Isn't this a disguised affirmation that the concubine's stomach must be a boy, and the county matriarch's wife can't be furious.

The maid gasped, and after she figured it out, she knew that Xiao Li had to leave, so she didn't dare to say any more, and left in fear.

"Ma'am, why did you eat so little today?" Tian Xiang asked.

The matriarch of the county wiped the corners of her mouth and waved her hand in annoyance.

"Tianxiang, you said that the master hasn't come for so long, I prepare his favorite food and wine every day but I don't see him every day, how can I get an appetite."

Tian Xiang asked someone to remove the meal, thought for a while, and finally took out a red silk greeting card from his sleeve.

"This invitation card is exquisitely made, and the color is beautiful, where did it come from?" Mrs. Xian Taiye was depressed for a few days, but today she became interested in this bright red silk, and took it over and over.

Tian Xiang said: "Madam still remembers the two peasants who sold us lipsticks at the beginning of spring. They brought this letter of invitation to the mansion with tokens. They said they were going to hold some kind of show. Madam, please go and see it."

"Xiu?" The county matriarch repeated, "What is that, I've never heard of it."

Seeing that Madam was interested, Tian Xiang hurriedly said: "Madam has never heard of it, let alone servant girl. However, it seems quite novel to listen to the two peasants. Why don't you go and have a look, just to relax, it's okay." I paid back their favor last time, lest they bother Madam with other important matters."

"Okay, just tell them I'll be there."

"What, the county matriarch's wife agreed to come?" Wang Ren was dumbfounded. What is the identity of the magistrate's wife, and what are their identities? The difference is nothing more than that.

Shen Lin was also shocked and said: "Brother, how can you invite Mrs. Madam, the magistrate of the county? When did you make friends? This is not a dream."

Zhou Jing laughed and said, "It's not a dream. As for friendship, I did her a small favor. The magistrate's wife remembers it now, and she is willing to return it."

In fact, Shen Mo was quite sorry to waste this favor like this. He always felt that if something bigger happened in the future, he needed to go to the yamen for arbitral decision. In other words, it's not a wasted opportunity.

But Zhou Jing said, if something really happened, the words of Mrs. Fear County Grandpa would not be of much use, so it is better to use it this time, and the business of his family's cloth shop may skyrocket.

"Brother, I really admire you. Even though you were a little hooligan in the past, you were used to frighten children. How come you suddenly understand everything and know everything." Wang Ren didn't want to explore and simply sigh.

This was enough to cause Shen Mo to panic.

Zhou Jing stretched out his hand to hold Shen Mo's tightly, intertwined with his index finger, and calmly comforted him.

"You, now that you're married, don't you understand?" Zhou Jing looked at Shen Mo tenderly, his eyes seemed to be able to squeeze water. "It is said that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person will bring good fortune to the family with a virtuous wife."

Under the crowd, Shen Mo was so embarrassed that he forgot to continue to be nervous.Wang Ren only felt that his brother-in-law was not only a role model for him in business, but also a goal for him to learn emotionally.Look, how well he can coax his little husband, he also has to learn.Thinking of this, he sneaked a look at Shen Lin, only to find that Shen Lin seemed a little cold, rubbing the goose bumps on his arms.

With the living signboard of Mrs. County Grand Master, the show posts that people were unwilling to accept when they were sent out in the past suddenly became a hot commodity.

Some of the wives who got the show tickets first didn't care at all, and threw them away casually. They would know that the wife of the county magistrate was going too, and the house was turned upside down.

"Go over there and have a look, move under the cabinet to see if there is nothing there, how could it disappear, I didn't throw it away at all."

"Miss, don't worry. If you can't do it, ask the master to ask them for another one. As the master, I'm afraid you won't come."

"That's right, I'll go talk to Dad right now."

The gentlemen in various mansions have been summoned by their wives and daughters one after another, and without exception, they are all invited to ask for show posts.It stunned the gentlemen, Xiu?what is that?This unintentionally brought the Zhou family's show that no one had seen and no one knew to a climax.Almost all the wives and ladies from rich families are discussing the show ten days later.

The threshold of Zhou Ji's shop was almost broken through. This is the first wave of friends who have friendship but not friendship come here to show posts.

Zhou Jing said regretfully: "Sorry, there are really no more. There are only [-] posts in total. If they are all posted, they will be gone."

This master was entrusted by his wife and all the women in his family to ask for a post, but he didn't expect to get it.

Not only angrily said: "No, just write me a few now, what's so urgent about this thing."

Zhou Jing explained: "It's really not that I didn't give you face and deliberately humiliated you. You can understand what's going on after listening to my explanation. This show is a private show, not open to the public, and you can enter at will. Please come It is only for the wives and misses of the master's family with status and status like you to come to see it. I am afraid that fish eyes will be mixed up and the nobles will be bumped, so the posts are all based on the venue. A total of [-] people can fit in such a large venue. One table, one show post for each table, all are just right, and there is no room for another table. If you ask for it, I can write it, but if you write a show post for your wife and the young lady at home I entered the venue but there is no place to sit, so I have to stand. Isn’t that a slap in the face for you. I’m all to blame for this. At the beginning, I only cared about your status and wealth, so I didn’t dare to come to the door because I was afraid that you would look down on my little show. bother."

The old man was in a good mood after being flattered by Zhou Jing. After listening to the explanation, he also understood that the space reserved in advance was not big enough, and it was not aimed at him. are of two natures.

So I didn't bother anymore, I just said that next time there is such a show or other novelties, I should keep close to his house first.Zhou Jing patted his chest repeatedly.

As soon as the front foot saw off the people, Wu Butcher came in on the back foot.

Just in time to hear the last few words and said with a smile: "It's such a coincidence that the show post is gone, and my wife asked me to ask for one for her natal sister."

Zhou Jing looked out from the door of the shop and saw that the old man who came to ask for show posts just now had gone away, so he said: "I know that once the news is released that the magistrate and wife of the county are coming to the show, you will all come to me and ask for more show posts. No, I kept my hand on purpose, and only give you these old friendships."

Butcher Wu patted Zhou Jing on the shoulder and said intimately, "Good brother, if you have something novel, you know that you should keep close to me."

The Zhou family's show has finally come amidst all the attention.The location of the show is the shop newly rented by the Zhou family in the town. The rent of this shop only costs 180 taels of silver a year.The shop facing the street is divided into upper and lower floors, with a total of 21 square feet.There is a back house of 27 square feet behind the shop. There is a garden in the house, with flowers blooming in the courtyard, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and rockeries, and the environment is beautiful.

The show venue is built in the garden, with well-trimmed paulownia and peach trees on the left and right, and the tables for the nobles to watch the show are placed in it.

Starting from the show stage, it is fan-shaped and surrounded by three rows with ten tables in each row.The gap between the tables can accommodate five or six maidservants for them to wait on.In order not to let the standing maids block the sight of the nobles watching the show behind, Zhou Jing calculated, measured and adjusted the distance separately.

There is a small hole in the middle of each round table, from which protrudes an oiled paper fan that can cover the entire round table, with different flowers painted on the fan.

The table was full of eight porcelain plates.Four out of four are used to display the fruit. The fruit is peeled and cut into small pieces, and a small wooden stick is inserted into each piece.The remaining two plates, a plate of peanuts and melon seeds, a plate of fructose, a plate of ice pastries, and a plate that I did not forget to advertise my own food, served with sliced ​​​​sausages from Zhou Ji, and the three flavors were arranged separately.

"Ma'am, those two peasants are thoughtful and dressed up in a unique way. You see, these apples are all frozen. They are afraid that they will be indecent when eaten, so they are cut into small pieces and inserted with wooden sticks. They look quite clean. Do you want to eat a piece to relieve the heat?" Tianxiang came to the show this time with the wife of the county magistrate, and the wife sat under an umbrella to enjoy the cool, and she stood by the side to serve.

Zhou Jing made it clean and thoughtful, so the magistrate of the county ate a piece, it was cold and comfortable.

The ladies at the next tables had known that the magistrate's wife would come, but now they were still excited when they saw it, and they wanted to go up to say hello, but they couldn't go up at all.

It's not that the servants under the magistrate of the magistrate of the county stopped her from coming forward, but the maidservants hired by the Zhou family stood a few times at each table, and when they sat down, they told them not to disturb the madam of the magistrate's show, otherwise please go out on the spot .These people are famous, so they don't care about the Zhou family who just heard about it, but today they don't care, because the house is guarded by officials inside and outside the house, and they doubt that once they do something disobedient, these officials will not even have a reason If you don't give them, just arrest them.It is said that these arrests were not brought by the wife of the magistrate, but by Zhou Jing who paid a lot of money to maintain order in the show.Many people have heard from the family master that the family of the boss surnamed Zhou has relations with the people in the yamen. Even if they can't make friends with each other, there is no need to offend them.Therefore, for a while, the nobles stayed very honest, and no one dared to challenge the majesty of tolerance.

Outside the show, there are many nobles who didn't get the show tickets, or lost the show tickets. They were honest, each of them gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, their eyes got angry, and they didn't dare to do bullying.

Now the Zhou family is in the cloth business, nothing else, all kinds of cloth are available.One is to make himself famous, and the other is to not lose his social status, Zhou Jing deliberately wore a long gown made of silk and satin.

Wearing a dark blue long gown, covered with indigo gauze, coupled with a tall and straight figure, and a heroic and tough face, it actually made a few girls who have not left the cabinet see their hearts fluttering.

"He turned out to be the farmer who sold us the lipstick back then. The difference is too big." Tian Xiang exclaimed, "It took only a few months to develop like this."

Still, there was a maid who knew about it pointing at Zhou Da and said, "He is the owner of Zhou Ji Cooked Food, doesn't our lady like his sausage quite a bit?"

"So that's the case, and now they have opened a cloth shop again. This man has been in Hexi for 30 years, and he has nowhere to look. But after all, it was your 30 taels of silver that Madam helped them back then."

The matriarch of the county did not say anything, because Zhou Jing on the stage began to speak.

"First of all, I would like to thank Mrs. Su for coming to the show of 'Meeting' cloth shop in her busy schedule. At the same time, I also welcome all the nobles to come." The meaning of meeting. "I know that all the ladies are curious about what the show is, so I will not gossip, so I invite the models to come up."

"Model?" Before the ladies and ladies below figured out what a model is, a woman walked out on the show stage.

The woman was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate face, wearing a long pink dress, accompanied by the sound of the piano played slowly, and walked out lazily.

When they got closer, the nobles could clearly see the long skirt on the woman, and they were immediately attracted.

The material of the long skirt is brocade, and the neckline is double-breasted, fastened with hand-sewn buttons, but it is not a double-breasted long skirt. When it reaches the woman's full breasts, a pink satin tube top like cherry blossoms suddenly appears. On the chest is embroidered a peony that blooms and is rich.The waist is made of the same color and the same kind of satin material as a belt for contrast.In an instant, the woman's slender waist is pinched out, as if it is too full to grasp.There are pleats pinched from the waistband, and the skirt on the lower body is a sky-like light blue color.The upper body is pink and tender, and the lower body is light, which makes the woman wearing this dress look delicate and soft. When the long cloak is blown by the wind, it becomes unforgettable.

The model was doing movements on the stage to show off the clothes, and Zhou Jing jumped on it.

"The long dress worn by this model is the first version of our love series. What is love at first sight, under the dim lights, what you admire, who admires you, suddenly look back, love at first sight, never forget Appearance." Zhou Jing introduced: "This long dress is from Sichuan brocade. It was made by seven embroiderers who know Suzhou embroidery, bathed and burned incense, and vegetarian and vegetarian drinks for [-] days. Ladies and ladies can see the small flowers on the skirt. It is a rose, which symbolizes love. Every rose is embroidered stitch by stitch.”

"Ma'am, this dress is really beautiful, and the style is also novel. I haven't seen such a style. And look at the color, the two colors used to be matched together are dull, but the one dyed by his house is clear, light, translucent, and watery." Amazing." Tian Xiang said: "Madam can buy a novelty dress."

As soon as Tian Xiang finished speaking, Zhou Jing said, "This 'Loving Heart' series has only one piece of each style, and because it is made of Shu brocade from Sichuan, the price is 380 taels."

"What? 380 taels?" Tian Xiang almost threw away the teacup he was about to bring to Mrs. Su.At this price, even a woman with the status of Mrs. Su would not be able to wear only novelties.

Mrs. Su glanced at her indifferently, and pointed to the teacup in Tianxiang's hand.

"What's the fuss about this? Didn't he say that it's the Shu brocade from Sichuan? If it's really the Shu brocade and you learned embroidery from a Suzhou embroiderer, with such manpower and material resources, it's no surprise that it costs a few hundred taels."

Tian Xiang hurriedly handed over the teacup, and said with a smile: "This servant is short-sighted. Since you dare to invite your wife, you must dare not order something good."

The long skirts that came out one after another have their own characteristics, even the simple-looking white long skirts can cost 420 taels, but they are really fairy-like, like a fairy in a dream.

The finale was the pajamas. The ladies who had seen all kinds of beautiful dresses were not very interested when they heard that the next one was the pajamas that couldn’t be found. All they thought about were the dresses in the picture. Calculate the money in your pocket is enough to buy a few pieces.I didn't expect that when the pajamas and nightdresses came out, there would be no one who would not be attracted.

When the nightdress show started, the men and Shuang'er in the arena quietly retreated in an instant.

The pajamas and nightdresses launched by Zhoujia are not ordinary pajamas and nightdresses.It's the sexy temptation of the later generations, who wants to show or should not show, and wants to hug the pipa half-hidden.

A woman from a good family would definitely not dare to wear this kind of revealing clothing, so she invited a red card from Chunfeng Building.They already have the unique charm of prostitutes, the flirtatious gestures, and the light clothes on their bodies can completely block the unique beauty of women, not to mention men, even these ladies can't wait to look at them Rush forward to help them tear it off, and watch as much as you want.

Madam Su gritted her teeth and hated: "Little goblin, no wonder the master is so hooked that he doesn't come to my place anymore, which man can bear to dress like this."

Not only Mrs. Su had this idea, but all the wives present felt the same way, feeling like opening a new world.

Those who are married are okay, but those who are not married will be shy.The education they received before leaving the cabinet is that the skin of the body should not be exposed at will.Looking at the girls on the stage with lots of white skin, they lowered their heads shyly and didn't dare to look at them, but it is undeniable that these sexy pajamas and nightdresses fell in their hearts.Some girls secretly plan to buy one in private, and wear it for the newlywed husband on their wedding day, so that his eyes will stick to her and cannot be torn off, and he will never look down on those little fairies outside.

The wives here are from rich families, which family's master is not a group of wives and concubines.If you want to compete for a place among the many beauties, you will use all means.Zhou Jing's nightdress show was exactly what he wanted, even more popular than the previous dresses worn for outsiders.

Mrs. Su and the others had discovered it long ago when the man and the twins were retreating, and they didn't care at first, but now they know what it means.Without the opposite sex, each of them opened their eyes wide open without hiding.

Mrs. Su hooked her finger at Tian Xiang, and Tian Xiang leaned down, Mrs Su said: "The red nightgown just now, no matter how much money it costs, you must buy it for me."

In the evening, Mrs. Su sent everyone away, leaving Tianxiang alone.Putting on a satin red dress, the delicate and beautiful body is looming under the dim candlelight, which is too beautiful to behold.

"Madam, you are so beautiful."

Mrs. Su smiled, she didn't know whether it was the clothes that made people beautiful or the clothes that made people beautiful, but there was something enchanting about her.

"Am I beautiful or the beauty in the master's room?"

"Of course it's Madam."

Mrs. Su nodded, "You go to her room to invite the master, don't say anything else, just say that I suddenly have chest tightness and want to see the master."

"Yes."

Su Bingsheng, the magistrate of the county, has been fascinated by the concubine he brought in recently, especially after the concubine was diagnosed by the doctor after she was pregnant, she was very likely to be a boy.

The concubine nestled in Su Bingsheng's arms, caring for tenderness. The two of them were in love, and came to repay it with incense, and Mrs. Su's chest was tight.

As soon as the concubine heard it, she knew it was Madam Su who was using her tricks, so she pouted her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Madam is uncomfortable, but I should ask the doctor to go, and ask the master what to do."

Ruanxiang Wenyu was not very happy to go in Huai County, although his face was gloomy, he still said: "No matter what, she is the main wife, and she gave birth to a son for me."

The concubine was reprimanded, and she was immediately weak and wronged, "I know I was wrong, so will the master come back later?"

The concubine admitted her mistake, and the magistrate laughed.

"Master, if I don't go back to you little fairy, where else can I go?"

Looking at the back of the county magistrate gradually going away, the concubine's face became more and more ferocious.

"Mrs. Su, heh, it's not certain who will be Mrs. Su in the end." She slowly covered her stomach with her hands, "Son, you have to fight hard, one of them should be the one with handles."

The county magistrate rushed to Mrs. Su's bedroom and saw Mrs. Su lying on the bed covered with a quilt. Seeing him, he called out, "Master."

"What's the matter, I can see a doctor, and it's all right, so my chest hurts."

Mrs. Su spoke softly, tenderly, "It's the pain in my chest that I think about Master. Now that Master is here, it won't hurt anymore if you show me."

As Mrs. Su said, she got up from the bed, the thin quilt fell, and two snow-white balls jumped out. The bright red silk satin was wrapped on the two snow-white balls, and the county magistrate's eyes straightened immediately.

"Master." Mrs. Su called out coquettishly, her two slender arms resting on the county magistrate.The county magistrate immediately forgot everything, only felt that Mrs. Su had seduced him tonight so much that he didn't want to go anywhere.

A night ago, in the streets and alleys, a shop named 'Meet' Cloth was immediately on fire.

When Shen Mo saw the huge profit on the ledger, his hands trembled with fright.

"Brother Jing, it's really not that you made a mistake in your account. It's just... more than 1000 taels a day?"

Zhou Jing smiled and said: "Of course not, only four sets of nightdresses were sold on the spot, and how many more are because of the embarrassment on the spot. When I go back, I will send the servant girl out to buy them secretly. Just wait, someone will come tomorrow. "

Shen Mo looked up at the second floor. All the nightdresses were sold on the second floor. Now he only felt that the nightdresses on the second floor were not nightdresses at all, but piles of real gold and platinum.

"That's why I insisted on buying expensive silk brocade from the south when I was making ready-made clothes. Good materials and novel styles are money."

Shen Mo said: "But brother Jing, do we have to hire a girl in our shop, or when their wives come to buy pajamas and nightdresses, it doesn't seem good for me to follow. If you don't follow such expensive things, they will be scratched and worthless .”

Zhou Jing nodded and said, "I've thought about this issue a long time ago, but I just haven't found a suitable candidate. We do this with such a huge profit, I don't feel at ease letting outsiders in."

"I understand that it is necessary to be defensive, and I won't say anything about my little brother. It's not that I don't trust him, but it's just that the two of us will live this life, and it's fine as long as the two of us know about some things. "

Zhou Jing nodded, "Okay, but we are busy here, and we can't take care of the deli shop. If not, I will hand it over to the younger brother and the two of them, and the profit will be [-]%."
