different devil life

"That's fine." Lao Huang nodded without thinking about it. He is a blacksmith in the first place, so it's no problem to make one or two iron objects.

After finishing it, Wang Zhong brought some wild fruits picked from the mountain to Chen Yu to eat, then boiled a pot of water and poured a pot of picked mushrooms.

While cooking, Wang Zhong quickly skinned and gutted the three bamboo rats, and was about to roast them, when he saw seven or eight lanterns appeared in the distance.

"Hey, it seems that someone has come to our house." Chen Yu asked curiously.

Wang Zhong also saw those lanterns, and when these people approached, he realized that the leader was actually a beautiful woman, who looked familiar.

The woman's face was a little cold, and after glancing at the bamboo rat in Wang Zhong's hand, she covered her mouth and said, "You guys eat such disgusting things as rats."

"Girl, there is a famine outside now, and there is nothing we can do about it." Chen Yu patted her chest and coughed back.

"You are... Sun Xiuxiu."

Wang Zhong somewhat recognized this eccentric girl who asked him to imitate roosters and pigs.

"It's me." Sun Xiuxiu frowned, "Father knows that you are not doing well, so let me come pick you up."

Chen Yu was a little happy in her heart, but she is also a sensible person. Their family is so poor now, and they might have been looked down upon in the past. It doesn't matter to her, but what about Wang Zhong?

"Hurry up and get ready. My father is not in good health. He wants to see you over as soon as possible." Sun Xiuxiu said flatly.

"Understood." Wang nodded emphatically.

His original plan was to rely on the iron pipes made by Uncle Huang to make elementary muskets for hunting, and then sell the fur and meat from the hunting to the county town to earn money, and then bring the accumulated money to the Sun family to propose marriage.

But since he came here so early, there's no need for him to be hypocritical.

Chen Yu went to the sheep shed to tidy up and salute, Sun Xiuxiu said to Wang Zhong: "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

"can."

Following Sun Xiuxiu to the field, Sun Xiuxiu turned her back to him and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still the same as when you were a child, you don't like to laugh."

"What do you want to say?"

"My father was seriously ill, and he is dying." Sun Xiuxiu turned her head: "He wants to see us get married as soon as possible before he dies, and his wish has been fulfilled."

"can."

Wang Zhong said succinctly that disaster cannot be avoided after all, although marriage came earlier, but there is no other way, just get married when you get married.

Chapter 10 The Big Wedding

Thunderbolt...

With the sound of firecrackers at the door of Sun Yuanwai's house, Wang Zhong rode a horse, dressed in groom's official clothes, and led Sun Xiuxiu, who was carried by eight sedan chairs, towards the inner courtyard of the Sun family mansion.

For a moment, the gate of the Sun Mansion was crowded with onlookers.

Today is the grand wedding day of Sun Xiuxiu, the daughter of the Sun family. It is said that the Sun family gave free wedding cakes and candies, and prepared thousands of bowls of rice porridge for the neighbors to eat.

You must know that there is a famine this year. Not only are there fewer hawkers on the busy streets, but even there are no shoppers. On the contrary, there are many displaced beggars. After hearing that there is food here, the spacious streets are crowded people.

Even on a happy day, Wang Zhong didn't smile at all, and even felt a little irritable on his face.

"Marriage is really troublesome, not to mention the red tape, and there are so many people watching."

With a cold face, Wang Zhong rode into the house on a horse. Although he had never touched a horse in this world, he was very familiar with it in the Dragon Dynasty, so he had no obstacles in riding a horse.

This point surprised some of the servants who wanted to see the jokes of the married son-in-law. They didn't expect that a young scholar who came out of the valley could actually ride a horse.

That's right, Wang Zhong entered Sun's family as a married man. The reason is very simple. He doesn't have a house now, and his family lives on rats.

But to live in, it can only be married.

Chen Yu originally thought that Wang Zhong would not like it. After all, in this day and age, the son-in-law who married into the family is always gossiped behind his back.

But Wang Zhong doesn't care, it's just a marriage. If someone has the ability, it's okay to marry a wife.

Sun Yuanwai is very ill now, and has been lying in bed for a while, but today, he wore a bright red festive gown, and was supported by his godson Sun Jitian to sit on the first chair in the hall.

These years have passed, Sun Yuanwai, who was originally potbellied and blessed, has lost a lot of weight, Wang Zhong feels distressed seeing it.

Really distressed.

Because in Wang Zhong's mind, he has a better impression of Sun Yuanwai than Sun Xiuxiu. This elder has a benevolent heart, values ​​friendship, and is willing to give. Although he is a landlord, he is deeply loved by the nearby villagers.

His godson, Sun Jitian, was also there, standing outside Sun Yuan.

He is stronger than when he was a child, his eyes are firm, his hands are full of calluses, he looks like Lian Jiazi.

Seeing Wang Zhong approaching, he nodded slightly as a greeting.

There were many guests who came, and they were all famous figures in the county.

When facing these people, Sun Yuanwai became energetic, as if nothing had happened, and they all laughed and clapped their hands.

Wang Zhong understood that everyone was acting, including Sun Yuanwai.

Sun Yuanwai didn't dare to show that he was dying, he wanted to take this opportunity to let people know that he was fine.

The next step is to toast, do obeisance, and then drink wedding wine.

After the guests were seated, the food and wine were brought to the table. The guests exchanged glasses, and many of them went to Wang Zhong's side to toast.

Wang Zhong felt helpless, his body was too weak, and he didn't know much about drinking.

"Haha, each of you, don't bully my brother-in-law, I'll drink this wine for him."

At this moment, Sun Jitian came over, took the wine from Wang Zhong, and clinked glasses with the guests.

This guy has a lot of alcohol, and the guests are scared when they see him.

Table after table toasted, and after finishing, Sun Jitian drunkenly dragged Wang Zhong to the next room, "You will be my brother-in-law from now on, do you remember what I told you when I was young?"

"Remember." Wang nodded emphatically.

Sun Jitian hiccupped and seemed drunk, but Wang Zhong could tell that he was sober.

"My dad said, your dad saved our family, he is a lifesaver, no matter whether his son is a pig or a human, now that we are married, our family will not break our promise, my dad is not in good health now, I am a person A rough person who doesn't know a few words. He only knows how to practice martial arts and doesn't understand business matters. My sister is basically involved in family affairs. After you get married, I hope you can help her. After all, you are also a scholar. Anyway, he is a scholar, and he will always settle accounts."

"I see."

Wang Zhong nodded slightly. This brother-in-law may seem rough, but his heart is actually relatively thin.

What he said was actually very simple, meaning that if it wasn't for his father, under his conditions, he would definitely not let his sister marry him. Marrying him now is to repay your kindness. Then you, Wang Erping, you should know what is good or bad, and do more for the family. Worry about things.

This passage is a lot better than when I found him when I was a child and directly said that if you bully my sister, I will make you look good.

"Go to the bridal chamber, I'll block the wine outside for you." Sun Jitian waved his hand boldly.

At this time, a woman in Tsing Yi came, holding the child and frowning: "Father, please drink less."

"I won't block the wine, and my brother-in-law won't let me get drunk. By the way, let me introduce you." Sun Jitian put his arms around the woman and smiled, "Your sister-in-law, Miss Lin."

"Hello, sister-in-law." Wang Zhong nodded slightly, and it was obvious that the two were very affectionate.

"Well, brother-in-law, Xiuxiu is in the room, you can go." Lin said with a smile.

"Thank you sister-in-law."

Wang Zhong clasped his fists together, and then walked towards the back room.

He didn't have a good impression of Sun Xiuxiu, so he didn't really look forward to entering the bridal chamber.

As he walked, he thought about what to do next.

It has been a month since he came to Sun's house. After these days, he found that Sun's house was not as peaceful as he imagined.

It's not that the Sun family is not good, but that the poor outside have had a hard time these years, and the Sun family, a landlord family, is actually not having a good life.

Over the years, the county has grown larger and more populous, but the Sun family's business has not improved, but has declined more and more.

There are many reasons. There are more competitors, heavier taxes, and horse thieves outside are becoming more and more powerful. Every year, the Sun family’s caravan is robbed several times. struggling to support.

Just like that, Sun Yuanwai fell ill under exhaustion.

Wang Zhong thought about it. If he wanted to gain Sun Xiuxiu's respect and complete the task, he would have to make a career and impress her.

In the past, he was limited by his financial resources, status, and contacts, so he was not easy to operate, but now it is different.

Next, divide into three goals.

1: Increase the core competitiveness of the Sun family's commodity competition, and fundamentally destroy the commodities of other merchants.

2: Increase the yield of crops rented from Sun’s family’s land, and the farmers will have a bumper harvest, so they will pay more rent.This is very easy to implement. When I was young, under Wang Zhong's suggestion, the output of my parents' farming was one to three times higher than that of others.

3: Solve the horse thief!Wang Zhong reckoned that those horse thieves were the ones who killed him. Over the years, the boss of the horse thieves had probably been thinking about that night.

But having said that, they are thinking about it, and they are thinking about it too. He must take revenge for causing him to drop 1000 experience points!

Chapter 11 Wedding Banquet (Don't Forget the Recommendation Ticket)

creak...

The wooden door pasted with two pairs of "Xi" characters was pushed open.

Wang Zhong entered the room with a cold face, closed the door, and glanced inside.

This is his and Sun Xiuxiu's wedding room. It is clean and big. On the spacious bed, there is a bride wearing a red wedding gown and a red cloth on her head. It is Sun Xiuxiu.

Wang Zhong understood that they had no feelings for each other. Sun Xiuxiu looked down on him a little bit, but she married him because her tutor made her obey her father's words.

As for himself, he didn't care much about Sun Xiuxiu, so he kept a cold face. There was nothing he could do about it. He would not please anyone in order to complete the task.

The room was quiet, Sun Xiuxiu clenched her fists tightly and put them on her knees, she was very nervous, after all, this was her first marriage.

Wang Zhong poured a cup of tea on the table and said calmly, "I'm too strong to drink, so let's replace wine with tea, that's great."

"Well, listen to my husband."

Pretty obedient.

Wang Zhong was quite satisfied. He poured tea and took a cup. Before Sun Xiuxiu could react, the red cloth was lifted by him.

Sun Xiuxiu raised her head and pursed her lips, as if wondering why Wang Zhong was so moody.

Wang Zhong continued to ignore it, saying: "Drink and rest early."

Sun Xiuxiu took the tea, thought for a while, and said angrily, "I want to drink a cup of wine."

"OK then."

This request is very reasonable. Although Wang Zhong doesn't like her, he can still agree to some small requests.

After the cup of wine was finished, Wang Zhong lay down on the bed.

Sun Xiuxiu was a little annoyed, couldn't she be upright, why didn't he touch her?

Also lying on the bed, Sun Xiuxiu had no choice but to move by herself.

Although there are many stories about love in ancient times, in fact, stories are just stories after all. From ancient times to the present, the more lacking something in human society, the more widely spread the story about it.

For example, there is no such thing as so-called love, so Sun Xiuxiu did not expect anything from Wang Zhong. She, like Wang Zhong, accepted the orders of her parents just like most ancient women.

In the morning, Wang Zhong looked at the woman beside him, and hugged Sun Xiuxiu a little tighter. She was his wife now, and it was his responsibility to protect her and let her live a good life in the future.

"you're awake."

Sensing Sun Xiuxiu's movement, Wang Zhong asked.

"Well, Mr. Sun." Sun Xiuxiu's voice was very soft, she didn't want her first impression of Wang Zhong to be a rude woman, "Let's get up earlier, we will go to the street shop later, a batch of knives came today, I need to check it myself."

"Are you always doing these things?"

"Well, our father is not in good health, and it's hard to go out anymore. My brother is only in charge of guarding the darts and doesn't know anything about business."

Sun Xiuxiu got up quickly, and after getting dressed, she straightened Wang Zhong's clothes and said, "I'm sorry."

"Why did you say sorry to me?" Wang Zhong was puzzled.

"Keep you up too early."

"You and I, husband and wife, this is the birth division."

Sun Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I think too much, but my husband is more thoughtful. After breakfast, my husband can talk to our father. He likes you very much. He always said that you were young when you were young. Smarter and more sensible than me."

"I will go, but don't you need me to accompany me to make the bunk?" Wang Zhong said.
