husband in another world

"Ma'am, just now a doorman came to report that he 'met' a cloth village sender, saying that he had acquired a new novelty called a doll. The first batch of dolls will be sold in the cloth village in three days. If you like it, madam, you can go and see it. Look." Tian Xiang knelt on the ground and beat Madam Su's leg.

Mrs. Su closed her eyes, she was in a good mood recently.Ever since she got a few sets of pajamas from the 'meeting' cloth shop, the county magistrate came here often, probably because it was a novelty, and if she didn't wear them one day, the magistrate would ask her to wear them.Even after being married for so many years, the county magistrate, who had never paid much attention to her attire, gave her a few sets for the first time. After she changed into them, the county magistrate's eyes went straight.

Those villains who are used to seeing the wind and going with the wind also stopped.The little goblin wondered why the magistrate suddenly changed his attitude, sent so many spies to inquire, but Mrs. Su silenced them all, and no one knew the reason.

Mrs. Su is not worried that the little goblin will know about the nightgown in the cloth shop in the future, because even if she knows, what can she do? Don't want it anymore?

Madam Su pursed her lips and smiled when she thought of this.

Seeing that Mrs. Su was in a good mood, Tian Xiang said a few more words.

"My wife has nothing to do at home, so I can go to have fun. I don't think his family will disappoint my wife. The rural man named Zhou Jing looks very different from other rural men, as if he has something in his head."

Mrs. Su smiled slightly, "Yes, then let's go and have a look."

The reputation of Zhou's cloth shop is not comparable to that when it first opened. Since that show, the reputation has grown. For a while, the big households in the town are proud of going to Zhou's show, and even secretly compare and run, because they didn't receive it. Those who show posts but don't see the show will be considered by the wives as insufficient status, so they will not be invited.

Zhou Jing also knew about these things, and he was the first to release such remarks.If it is said that the sausage business is for civilian sales, then the cloth business is for the top sales, only for the rich, and to achieve the effect that noble people can afford it just by listening to their names.

So this time, the ones who received the message from Zhou Jing were the wealthiest households in the town, no more than ten households in total.

But on the day when the first batch of dolls were officially put on sale, there were more than just those few households who came.

These wives and ladies thought they had seen many novel treasures and treasures, but they were still attracted by the dolls at a glance.

In this batch of dolls, there are only four dolls and twelve zodiac dolls.

Three of the four dolls are all made of cloth skin, and only one of the dolls' skin is processed, polished, preserved and finally dyed from animal skin.This doll strives to be as realistic as possible. The eyes are made of pure black gemstones, and the mouth is made of broken red jade.She was wearing a purple tube top dress, covered with a dark purple sand jacket, and a long cloak under her arms.There is a peony bun on the head, gold step shakers inserted on both sides, a phoenix hairpin, and an inverted triangular forehead ornament on the forehead. The forehead ornament is a string of beads made of red beans. Finely polished, round and smooth.Falling on the doll's leather face, it has a coquettish beauty.

"This doll is so beautiful, it looks like a real person, and my cousin, when you touch it, the skin is actually the same as that of a real person, no, it is smoother than a real person." Sun Jiaojiao and her cousin Li Shi were among the wives who came. , but these two people were not in the households that Zhou Jing sent someone to deliver the letter at all.

But those who open the door for business are customers, and Zhou Jing will not drive them out.

Mrs. Li fell in love with it after just one glance, snatched the doll from Sun Jiaojiao's hand, and held it in her hand over and over again. "This one is made to look better than other dolls."

Sun Jiaojiao pursed her lips and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Obviously I was the one who set my sights on it first, but every time I got robbed, it's always like this."

Mrs. Li squinted at her, "Sun Jiaojiao, what did you say?"

Sun Jiaojiao immediately smiled coquettishly: "What can I say, if my cousin likes it, of course I will give it to my cousin."

Mrs. Li snorted and didn't speak again.

There were many women in the shop, and there were only a dozen or so dolls, which were not enough to share. Sun Jiaojiao and Li Shi could hold one each, but because they came a step earlier, they took it first.I waited behind and wanted to have a look and touch, but after waiting for a long time, I couldn't wait for the two of them to let go, so I didn't want to.

Disregarding the gentle lady image of everyone, she anxiously asked: "Are you going to buy it or not? If you don't buy it, let someone else buy it. Others are still waiting!"

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes, "It seems that no one can afford it, but I want to buy it anyway, shopkeeper, I want this one, how much money?"

Zhou Jing laughed and said, "Madam has good eyesight. This is the most delicate of our dolls. It's not expensive. It only costs 660 taels."

"660 six taels?" Sun Jiaojiao gasped, even she thought it was too expensive.The long skirt she was wearing and the skirt worn by her cousin were all new styles from the 'meet' cloth shop, but the total cost was only more than 300 taels of silver, and they were all high-quality silk.

But one doll costs 660 six taels?

Zhou Jing explained: "The doll in your hands is different from the dolls in other people's hands. The dolls in other people's hands are all made of cloth and skin, and they are not so expensive, but you The one in my hand is made of genuine leather. Not to mention that this leather is very rare, and the production must not be sloppy. You can see for yourself that this doll is perfectly made in terms of skin and body, and it is simply a miniature version. They are really beautiful. Especially the hair of these dolls is not the hair of something, but the long hair of a human being. You can comb various hairstyles at will. If the parents are not really struggling with the body, hair and skin, the price will be high. Who wants to sell their own hair. So the price of 660 Liuliang is really not expensive."

The ladies and ladies behind who had only seen the dolls made of cloth crowded over immediately to see how the dolls made of leather were different, and almost covered their mouths and screamed.This doll is exactly like a real person, not only is the skin made of real leather, but it also has plump breasts unique to women, and a waist that is not as full as one can hold.

"It's so beautiful!" A young lady squeezed forward and stared at it, she liked it so much, she stretched out her hand and snatched it from Mrs. Li's hand. "If you can't afford it, don't let go of other people's things. Shopkeeper, I want 660 six taels. How do you sell those three sets of skirts and those two little boots?"

Zhou Jingdao: "It doesn't cost money, it's a gift for buying this doll, and the lady can change it for her if she likes it. Of course, you can also make it for her yourself. If you don't want to do it, you can come to our shop to buy clothes for regular dolls and dolls." And the shoes will be replaced with new ones."

"Really, that's great." The lady hugged the doll and said excitedly: "I like the style of your skirt, it's novel, and there are no other shops. I want my dolls to be dressed uniquely like me. . Xiaoxue, pay the shopkeeper, I bought this doll."

The maid named Xiaoxue squeezed up, deliberately knocked Li Shi away, and said: "Really, I can't afford it after looking at it for a long time. This is not a waste of my lady's time. It made my lady wait for so long in vain, and her legs are standing still. Sour."

Li's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.But after all, she couldn't afford more than 600 taels of private house at once. During this time, most of her private house was spent buying skirts and nightdresses in the 'meet' cloth shop.

Xiaoxue took out a piece of silver money and said loudly: "Boss, can you find the 1000 tael bank note?"

"It's easy to find, miss." Zhou Jing was about to accept the bank note when a belated voice interrupted the transaction.

"I'm late, I don't know what good things the shopkeeper got this time?"

The wife of the county magistrate stepped forward, and the lady who wanted to buy a doll subconsciously hid the doll, winked at the maidservant, and got into the crowd.

Although Zhou Jing saw it, he pretended not to see it and went up to him with a smile.

"Mrs. Su, please come inside quickly. I got a few new dolls here. I don't know if they will catch your eyes." Zhou Jing led Mrs. Su to the round table at the counter as he spoke, and pulled away the chair. Asking her to sit down, Shen Mo came over with a teacup.

Tian Xiang took the tea and handed it to Mrs. Su. Mrs. Su sighed and looked up. Animal dolls were not very attractive to her. She liked those dolls, and her eyes fell on the arms of Sun Jiaojiao who was closest to her. .Sun Jiaojiao subconsciously hugged the doll tightly and hid for a while.Mrs. Su frowned slightly, and Mrs. Li immediately snatched the doll off again, holding it in front of Mrs Su with a smile on her face.

"Ma'am, look, this is a doll." Tian Xiang proudly took the doll from the flattering Li Shi and handed it to Madam Su.

Mrs. Su's attention was immediately attracted by this exquisite little thing, "It's a novelty, your family never disappoints me. I want this doll, and you can find some more clothes for me. "

Sun Jiaojiao was not reconciled, the leather doll she liked was too expensive and she couldn't afford it, so she wanted to buy a cloth one, but seeing that it was about to be snatched away again, she felt resentful.

She said: "Ma'am, it's no surprise that this doll is made of cloth. There is a doll whose skin is made of leather, and its eyes and mouth are made of jade. Unlike this cloth doll, it only has a good-looking face and no body. The dolls made are just like real people, with willow eyebrows, slender waist, and plump figure, so beautiful!"

Mrs. Su was moved by what she said, and immediately asked, "Where are the leather dolls?"

Everyone looked around at this moment, and found that the lady who wanted to buy dolls and her maid had disappeared at some point, and there was only a silver ticket left in Shen Mo's hand.

Shen Mo said: "That leather doll was just bought by a lady."

Sun Jiaojiao was afraid that Mrs. Su couldn't buy a leather doll, so she would buy the one she liked, "Which lady bought it?"

Shen Mo gave a suspicious 'ah', and said in confusion: "He is a lady in the boudoir, but he bought a doll from my family, how dare I ask her for her boudoir name and surname."

That's true, but it's just buying something from your house, so it's possible that you have to report your net worth.

Mrs. Su would not lose her identity just because of a doll, especially a doll that will definitely appear again in the future, and said flatly: "When someone comes to your shop to buy things, of course you have no right to ask her lady's boudoir name, and you shouldn't. Since someone bought it, forget it, I want this, Tianxiang pays, and I want these little skirts."

After Mrs. Su bought that one, the rest of the dolls, no matter whether they were baby dolls or zodiac animal dolls, the ladies and ladies refused to let go, for fear that they would be snatched away by others, and they rushed to pay one by one.

Sixteen dolls were sold out on the first day of sales.

Sun Jiaojiao and Li Shi came early in the morning, but in the end they didn't find anything, and left with a dark face in anger.

As soon as she left the shop, Mrs. Li accused Sun Jiaojiao, saying: "Born from a small family is a small family, but it's just a thing of more than 600 taels. It's worth the fuss you made just now, and I lost my face on the spot. You didn't see me My deadly enemy is also there, so it's all right now, she doesn't know how to pay attention to me with the other wife when she goes back. You have completely disgraced me and your cousin."

Sun Jiaojiao was not convinced, she pretended that she didn't know, it must be that Mrs. Li didn't have enough money, if she had enough money, with her personality, she would have to take it back even if she robbed it by force.

But Sun Jiaojiao didn't dare to talk back. Her cousin still had to take care of her family's business. When she came, her parents urged her to establish a good relationship with her cousin. Help her with her marriage and make her marry into a real rich family.

Seeing that Sun Jiaojiao was trained so honestly that she didn't dare to talk back, Mrs. Li felt much happier, and stared at Sun Jiaojiao a few times.Suddenly said: "Are you interested in that shopkeeper Zhou?"

"Ah?" Sun Jiaojiao blushed with embarrassment, and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when she thought about her cousin's status among the merchants in the town, if he was willing to step out and help make peace, it might be possible.He just swallowed it back, neither nodding nor shaking his head, it was completely the default.

How could Li Shi not understand, she giggled.

"Don't worry, I will tell your cousin. With your cousin's status among businessmen, this will happen."

"Thank you cousin, if it works, I will ask him to make another better leather doll for my cousin."

Sun Jiaojiao waited for a long time but didn't hear Li's words, she looked up and found that Li's expression didn't take this condition seriously.

Sun Jiaojiao secretly scolded Mrs. Li for being greedy. A leather doll costs more than 600 taels. Just because she is talking and helping to say something, she just gave it to her for nothing, and she is not satisfied.The best matchmaker in the town is the one who proposed marriage to his cousin, and the matchmaker's money he got was only a few dozen taels of silver.

But thinking about the way Zhou Jing was protecting his twin husband that day, I am afraid that without his cousin, this matter would not have been possible.

Gritting her teeth, she said cruelly: "Okay, I promise you, every time there is a new gadget or a new style of skirt in the shop, I will ask the head of the shop to give you one first."

Only then was Li satisfied, and she teased with a smile: "Yo, you haven't gotten married yet, and you're the head of the family, so you like other men so much?"

Sun Jiaojiao said angrily, "Biao sister-in-law!"

"I'm shy, okay, okay, I won't say anymore..."

The two went to Jiaozi and walked away, but no one saw a girl chasing out from the 'meeting' cloth village. The girl looked around and couldn't find anyone, and returned disappointed.

Shen Mo asked: "Do you know any of the ladies just now?"

Chen Huihui nodded and said: "Yes, she was the one who told me that the husband of our Buzhuang owner's family has a kind heart and would help me if I asked for it."

After hearing this, Shen Mo frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong, and before he could think about it, he was interrupted by Chen Huihui's next words.

"Zhou Fulang, our family's dolls cost several hundred taels, and they were all robbed in such a short period of time. This money is too good to earn!"

Zhou Jing frowned deeply, this was not the first time Chen Huihui said this.

He solemnly said again: "Xiaohui, as I said, it's not money that is easy to earn, it's the things in our house that are worth the price. You know that the gemstones used for the eyes of those dolls cost more than 100 taels for a pair. And their The cloth is enough for the average family in your town to chew for two years, especially how much manpower and material resources were wasted on that leather doll, how many leathers were damaged in such a long time, and only that one was left in the end, this is all capital."

Chen Huihui still felt that even so, Zhou Jing must have made a lot of money, didn't it just mean that money was easy to make.But she also found out that Zhou Jing didn't seem to like hearing her talk much, so she held back the words.

Shen Mo packed up the bank notes, leaving only some broken silver on his body.

"Brother Jing, I'll go back to the backyard to take a look at Xiaoyu, it's boring for him to be alone with a child every day."

"It's just right, I'll go with you to see him. I have two good things for you two. Xiaohui, you look at the shop in front. Someone comes to shake the line on the wall. I'll tie a bell on the other end, and you shake it." The bell will ring, and I can hear it from inside the house."

"Well, I see."

Zhou Jing and Shen Mo came to the backyard while talking. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Zhou Yu sitting in the yard, holding a basin to wash clothes.

Shen Mo asked, Zhou Yu looked six or seven years old, but he was actually eight years old, but his height and stature were shorter than he actually was.

Shen Mo's heart ached, and he grabbed the wooden basin that Zhou Yu was holding in his arms.

"You still have injuries on your body, and your clothes are dirty, just put them there and I'll wash them for you."

Zhou Yu was stunned. At Zheng Liu's house, he not only had to wash his own clothes, but also that of Zheng Liu and his wife.Sometimes Zheng Liu would even beat him up because he soiled his clothes, even though his clothes were too dirty to wash.

Seeing what he didn't understand with this expression, Shen Mo knelt down and hugged Zhou Yu, "Let it go, I'll do the rest."

After Zhou Yu came to his senses, he struggled vigorously, his face flushed.

"I... will go by myself."

He struggled so hard that Shen Mo could only put him down.

Reluctantly said: "There is no child who will not be hugged."

Zhou Yu said seriously: "I'm an adult now, I can make money now."

His little adult appearance made Shen Mo both amused and distressed.

"I'm only eight years old, I'm only a child in my family, I don't need to be an adult, and I don't need you to make money."

They entered Zhou Yu's bedroom, and Zhou Yu first poured them a cup of tea before sitting down.

This kid is so sensible.

"Xiao Yu, do you see what good things I brought you?"

There are two animal-shaped dolls, one is a tiger and the other is a monkey.

The monkey is Shen Mo, and the tiger is Zhou Yu.

"This tiger is for you, and this little monkey is for you."

With the little monkey stuffed into his arms, Shen Mo quietly blushed.

"I, why do I want this, it's so expensive?" Shen Mo just said a simple sentence, and regretted it after he finished speaking, he was afraid that Zhou Yu would think too much.He hurriedly said: "These things are for coaxing children, just keep one for Xiao Yu."

Zhou Yu sat blankly on the chair holding the little monkey doll. This was the first time he received a gift when he was eight years old.And the person who gave the gift seemed to be afraid that he would not like it, or was thinking too much, and was looking at him carefully.He couldn't tell what the feeling of soreness in his heart was like, so he could only say softly, "Thank you dad."

Zhou Jing smiled and said: "I am your father, and your husband. Naturally, if there is something good, I will hold on to the two of you first. From now on, just follow along with your grandmother."

Zhou Yu didn't say a word, but his small palms held the doll tightly.

"By the way, Xiaoyu, your injuries are better. Although you still feel pain after walking a long distance, I want to invite a master to come to our house to teach you homework. You will study for half an hour and rest for a cup of tea. , you can always hold on, right?"

"You want me to study?" Zhou Yu screamed in disbelief.

Zhou Jing said as it should be: "Of course, you and I are only literate, so naturally I hope you can read. However, you don't need to be pressured, we just do our best when it comes to reading, and it doesn't matter if we succeed in learning or not." There is only one thing, as our Zhou family, we can be confused about everything, but we must be clear as a human being."

Zhou Yu stared at Zhou Jing closely for a while, "I will, Dad."

Zhou Jing laughed.
