The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

The people of Hexi Village are as happy as if it was a festival today.

In their village, there is now a big shot!

Jiang Zhen is very, very powerful. After going out for a trip, he actually got back a... no, no, a few big ships, and he became a big businessman all of a sudden!

Jiang Zhen is now probably richer than Zhao Dahu.

When Jiang Zhen was only a little richer than the villagers, everyone might still be jealous of him, but when Jiang Zhen's net worth far exceeds that of the villagers, they will no longer be jealous of him, but will look up to him.

At this moment, the villagers looked proud, and when they saw the Jiang family, the last bit of unwillingness in their hearts disappeared.

Compared with the Jiang family, they are actually nothing!

Look, the Jiang family kicked out a Golden Bodhisattva. In comparison, they just didn't make friends with Jiang Zhen in advance, which is really nothing.

Seeing the dejected look of Jiang's family, soon some people who had little relationship with them came up to talk.

"Jiang Chengcai, do you know that Jiang Zhen's boat is coming today?" A young man who was the same age as Jiang Chengcai and had conflicts with Jiang Chengcai since childhood said to Jiang Chengcai.

"What ship? I didn't see it!" Jiang Chengcai said angrily.

"Of course you can't see it. The river here is too small for the boat to sail, so it stopped in the canal." The man laughed.

"Yeah, Jiang Zhen's boat is really too big, and a lot of things have been moved from the boat." Someone said beside him, and more and more people started talking.

"Jiang Zhen doesn't just have this one ship, he has several!"

"Jiang Ming and He Chunsheng, the things they took off the boat today are worth more than ten or twenty taels of silver. How much money do you think they made this trip?"

"I heard that each of them earned almost 100 taels of silver just for this one trip! Tsk tsk, Jiang Chengxiang used to earn only two taels of silver a month on the pier, right?"

"These people have earned so much, how rich Jiang Zhen must be!

Everyone said something to each other in front of the Jiang family, and the face of the Jiang family became darker and darker.

"It's impossible! Jiang Zhen must be lying! It's all a lie!" Mrs. Jiang said loudly.

"Everyone in our village has seen it, so how could it be possible to deceive people?" Come humanely, Shi Shiran left.

The Jiang family looked at each other and returned home depressed. At this time, someone close to their family came and finally explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly to them and persuaded them again.

"You guys want to open up..."

"Don't offend Jiang Zhen in the future."

"Hey, if you were nice to him back then, how good would it be?"

……

After being persuaded like this, the Jiang family became even more depressed.

But at this time, the Zhao family was beaming.

In the morning because of moving things, Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi didn't cook breakfast, but at noon, Zhao Liushi cooked a very hearty meal.

Moreover, she, who was already willing to let go, is even more willing to let go today.

She even fried the vegetables in oil, without boiling them in water!

She even fried the duck with oil, and put wine in it when it was braised in brown sauce!

She didn't even think about boiling that chicken in water to make chicken soup for drinking, but steamed it in an earthen pot!

……

Of course, this method was not thought up by Zhao Liushi, an ignorant rural woman. In fact, she only knew that cooking could be done like this under the guidance of the cook Li Shi.

"You cooked Brother Jin's meals before?" Mrs. Zhao Liu asked after smelling the rich aroma of the pot of duck.

"Yes, Master asked me to cook for Madam." Li Shi said to Zhao Liu Shi with an accent.

"Jiang Zhen is really kind to him." Zhao Liushi was very happy in her heart. She has been busy all her life, isn't it just to make her children live well?Now her son, it's a good life.

Mrs. Zhao and Liu thought so, and everyone else thought so too. Jiang Xiaomei looked at Brother Zhao Jin with a little envy.

She also went to watch the excitement before, and was also frightened. She didn't know that her elder brother was so powerful...

She has such a powerful elder brother, in the future... Jiang Xiaomei was thrown cold water just as she was about to think so.

Jiang Zhen had been talking to Brother Zhao Jing and Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu Shi, but he didn't even look at her.

Her eldest brother has completely become a family with the Zhao family. Although the surname has not been changed, it is almost the same, but her surname is Jiang...

Because of this, Jiang Xiaomei didn't dare to be complacent at all, and now she was busy helping Zhao Liushi.

This meal, Jiang Zhen ate very comfortably.

He likes to eat meat, and although there is no pork on the table today, he can eat a chicken and a duck, especially the chicken.

The chicken has been steamed in a crock pot for a long time, but the meat is not old at all, and the aroma is still locked in the meat... The two chicken wings with root roots were all eaten by Jiang Zhen.

Zhao Fugui and the others like to eat meat rather than bones, so it's cheaper for him.

And the taste of the duck is also very good. In the past, the duck made by Zhao Liushi always had the taste of duck, but this time the duck did not have that taste, and the soup was all burnt, which was very tasty.

Even those few vegetarian dishes are also very delicious.

Jiang Zhen ate very full. After eating, he told Zhao Fugui and his wife that he wanted to build a house: "Father and mother, we will have more and more people, and we will definitely not be able to live in the future. I will go to the county seat later. , buy a piece of land, and build a house on the side of the canal."

"Okay." Zhao Fugui nodded again and again. He is very convinced of Jiang Zhen now, but he will not refute Jiang Zhen's decision.

"Father and mother, you should go together too, put on new clothes and go for a stroll in the county town." Jiang Zhen said again.

"Okay." Zhao Fugui nodded again and again.

At this time, Zhao Liushi mentioned Jiang Xiaomei: "It's better to let the little sister go too." Jiang Xiaomei was treated badly by the Jiang family just like Jiang Zhen, which made Zhao Liushi have a kind of empathy for Jiang Xiaomei, and liked this child very much. .

Moreover, no matter what, this is Jiang Zhen's younger sister, even for Jiang Zhen's sake, she will not treat Jiang Xiaomei badly.

"Little sister, let's wait until next time. I don't even have any suitable clothes now." Jiang Zhen glanced at Jiang Xiaomei, who was still wearing shabby clothes, and said, "Li Shi and Ruo'er just came, so you should take them to familiarize yourself with the clothes." Let’s go to this village, and their luggage will be moved to your house, and they will live with you temporarily, if you find it inconvenient, you can put some curtains or something to cover them.”

Jiang Zhen doesn't hate Jiang Xiaomei, but he has never been in contact with Jiang Xiaomei, and he can't say he likes Jiang Xiaomei. Jiang Xiaomei is just a passerby to him.

It is precisely because of this that he ignored Jiang Xiaomei before, but he didn't feel about Jiang Xiaomei. The original Jiang boss liked Jiang Xiaomei very much, so he would help Jiang Xiaomei.

However, he will help Jiang Xiaomei get rid of the Jiang family and find her a marriage, but he does not intend to let her integrate into his family.

"Okay." Jiang Xiaomei agreed.

"I brought back some cloth, and there is a dark red one in it. Let Ruo'er bring it to you later, and you can use it to make two clothes." Jiang Zhen said again.

In modern times, Jiang Zhen was not young anymore, already in his 30s, coupled with the education he had received all along, he was always more tolerant of minors—children, as long as they don’t have malicious thoughts Or breaking the law and committing a crime, there is nothing to worry about.

So, when He Qiusheng asked him for something, he wasn't angry, and later he would save him.When he was looking for someone to serve Brother Zhao Jin before, he immediately took a fancy to the thin and small Ruo'er, and he also wanted to find an easy job for this child--Brother Zhao Jin is not a difficult person to serve.

It's Jiang Xiaomei's turn... He doesn't mind letting her live better, since it won't cost much anyway.

Jiang Zhen went to the county this time on that big boat.

Both Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui wanted to take a big boat, and he naturally wanted to satisfy them.

"This boat is really nice." After Zhao Fugui boarded the boat, he touched the big boat with hot eyes.

"Don't rub around, be careful to stain the new clothes." Standing beside Zhao Fugui, Zhao Liushi reminded, and after a word of reminder, she turned her head flatly and a little stiffly, and looked around curiously.

Before boarding the boat, both Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi put on the new clothes that Jiang Zhen brought back from the capital. In addition, Zhao Liushi also put on some jewelry that Jiang Zhen brought back.

After the golden hairpin was inserted in her hair, Zhao Liushi didn't dare to move her head, lest the baby on her head would fall off, and the gold bracelet on her wrist made her feel like she didn't know what to do with it.

She wanted to show others the gold bracelet on her hand, but she was afraid that others would snatch her away...

As a result, Zhao Liu could not help being a little tangled.

She could say that she was restless, and when she saw Brother Zhao Jin, she quickly grabbed Brother Zhao Jin's hand: "Brother Jin, come here quickly, and help Mother to have a look... Is the hairpin on Mother's head not crooked?"

"Mother, the hairpin on your head is not crooked, it's very good." Zhao Jinge said.

"It's fine if it's not crooked..." Zhao Liushi heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at Brother Zhao Jin and frowned: "Brother Jin, why don't you wear any jewelry?"

"I don't like these." Zhao Jinge said.

"If you don't like it, you have to wear it. Those men like women and Shuang'er to wear brightly colored clothes and jewelry." Zhao Liushi said: "The jewelry that Jiang Zhen bought for you, you'd better take it out and wear it."

"Mother, Jiang Zhen doesn't like these either, he didn't even buy me jewelry." Zhao Jinge said, Jiang Zhen bought some jewelry for Zhao Liushi, but he didn't buy it for him.

Zhao Liushi couldn't help being surprised when she heard the words: "He didn't buy you jewelry? Why didn't he buy you jewelry?" She got a lot of jewelry, did Zhao Jinge?

"Because I don't like it." Zhao Jinge said, he didn't want to tell Zhao Liushi about it anymore.

He looks like this, wearing jewelry is really not good-looking at all.

Hexi Village is not far from Hecheng County, and it didn't take long for the big ship to arrive at Hecheng County.

Zhao Liushi hadn't been to Hecheng County for a long, long time. After getting off the boat, she couldn't help looking around, but soon, she restrained her desire to look around.

She should be more dignified in such a nice dress. If she kept looking around, she would definitely embarrass Jiang Zhen... She had better endure it and stop looking around.

Jiang Zhen noticed Zhao Liushi's uneasiness, and took the initiative to explain: "Mother, look over there, there is a cloth shop over there, I sold cloth there, as for over there, there is a tea stall, and you can get a pot for a penny Tea……"

"Drinking water costs money..." Zhao Liushi sighed, listening to Jiang Zhen's explanation, the whole person became more and more relaxed.

Mrs. Zhao Liu's health has not been very good these years, so that she hasn't been in the field much. Her skin is fair in the village. Now she is smiling and has a kind face. She really looks like an old man from a wealthy family. people.

Zhao Fugui glanced at her, and seeing many people around her looking at her, he couldn't help but groaned twice.

"Father, I'm going to buy land. You go shopping first. After I'm done, I'll ask you to go to a restaurant for dinner." Jiang Zhen led the people around and said.

On the other side of the canal, a lot of land belongs to the Zhao family, but not all the land belongs to the Zhao family. There are still many lands that are unowned. Such land has to be bought from the yamen, and people from the yamen have to measure it .

Jiang Zhen informed Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi, and took He Chunsheng and He Xiasheng to work, leaving Jiang Ming, Wang Haisheng and a few others to follow the Zhao family.

Jiang Zhen went to see Yang Jiang first, then followed Yang Jiang to the Yamen, and met the magistrate of Hecheng County.

Originally, he had no intention of meeting the county magistrate. After all, with his identity, he had to kneel down to see an official. He just went to the Yamen. As soon as he said his name, the county magistrate came and helped him early. She remembered him, didn't let him really kneel down, and praised him for a while.

This county magistrate is undoubtedly a member of the Zheng family.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and as he expected, the matter went very smoothly. The county magistrate even directly stated that in a few days, the land over there would be his, and the price was still cheap.

The county magistrate showed such goodwill, of course, Jiang Zhen could not have not expressed it, and immediately sent the county magistrate some medicinal materials brought from the capital, and he has been respectful all the time.

The two sides talked happily.

"Boss, it's only been less than a year, and you've become so powerful." Yang Jiang looked at Jiang Zhen and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

When he met Jiang Zhen for the first time, Jiang Zhen was poor and destitute. He didn't expect that after more than half a year, he would become a person who even the county magistrate would treat him with courtesy.

He suddenly felt a little lucky, glad that he didn't trouble Jiang Zhen after being beaten by Jiang Zhen.If he doesn't know how to fight against Jiang Zhen, he still doesn't know what will happen.

"I'm also quite surprised." Jiang Zhen smiled and said: "By the way, you call the acquaintances in the yamen, and I will invite you all to drink." Yan Wang is so troubled by the little devil, since Jiang Zhen intends to stay here in Hecheng County It is necessary to stay here and have a good relationship with those yamen servants.

"Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely invite all the people who should be invited." Yang Jiang smiled and invited people. Seeing this, Jiang Zhen asked He Chunsheng to ask the butcher in the county seat if he had any Enough pork, he wants to buy some to give away.

That evening, the restaurant in the county seat was very lively. All the yamen servants in the yamen and the small officials who were doing business came, and they all gathered under the restaurant to drink and eat meat.

Jiang Zhen only spent 20 taels of silver, and asked the restaurant to prepare a table that could satisfy these people. In addition, he also asked He Chunsheng to prepare a basket for each of these people.

In each basket, there is a large piece of pork, ten eggs and ten duck eggs, plus a pack of dim sum. There are not many things, but at this time, it is also a very good gift. These people eat the banquet by themselves and go home It can also improve the food for the family members.

The yamen servants were all eating and drinking downstairs, and several of Jiang Zhen's subordinates were also talking to them downstairs to make connections, but he took Zhao Jinge and Zhao Fugui and his wife to eat on the second floor.

This is the second time for Brother Zhao Jin to come here, and he has learned a lot during his stay in the capital, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with eating here, but Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi are extremely uneasy.

They actually ate on top of a group of officials, this... this...

Zhao Fugui didn't dare to move too much, he was afraid that making noise would upset the officials below.

"Father, mother, you don't have to do this... There will be more days like this in the future." Jiang Zhen comforted.

"Oh... I just can't take it easy." Zhao Liushi said.

Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi were very uncomfortable, but they didn't take a single bite of the food on the table, and even ate it all - it would be too wasteful not to eat up such an expensive thing!

When Jiang Zhen sent those yamen servants away that day, the people under his command had already become brothers and sisters with these yamen servants, and those yamen servants still treated him like Mr. Jiang.

At this moment, the Jiang family was also eating.

The Jiang family has already separated, but because the things in the kitchen have not been divided, this meal is eaten together.

In the past, when they ate together as a family, they didn't have to eat meat, and there were always eggs on the table, but now, they only had boiled vegetables to eat, and Mrs. Jiang was reluctant to put salt.

Both Jiang Chengxiang and Jiang Chengcai were picky eaters. Although they were hungry, they put down their chopsticks without eating much.

Jiang Chengxiang is particularly displeased with Jiang Chengcai now, and Jiang Chengcai also hates his cold-blooded younger brother, and neither of them wants to talk to him. Seeing this scene, Jiang Tuhu couldn't help sighing.

Mrs. Jiang was not happy, especially... that Jiang Zhen actually made a lot of money...

"Chengxiang, didn't you say before that we could sue Jiang Zhen for his unfilial piety? He frightened us back then, but we failed. Tell me, can we sue now?" Mrs. Jiang suddenly asked: "He is I was born, and all the money he earned should be given to me! How can he ignore me as a mother?!"

When Mrs. Jiang said this, all the Jiang family members were taken aback, especially Jiang Chengxiang, who was a bit knowledgeable.

These days, if a son wants to sue his father, no matter what he sues, he will be punished first.

After all, Da Qi ruled the country with filial piety!

Now that Jiang Zhen is well-off, he doesn't even care about his parents. This is a big disobedience!

They didn't dare to sue Jiang Zhen before because Jiang Zhen frightened them, saying that if they dared to sue, they would take knives and go to the yamen to kill people, but now... Jiang Zhen didn't admit it himself, and now he has Can't get rid of it?

In the eyes of the Jiang family, hope was ignited again.

Even if Jiang Zhen can't spit out all the money he earned, if they dig out a little bit, they can live comfortably and buy back the land they sold!

Maybe, they can buy more land!

The Jiang family looked at each other and became more and more excited. The next day, Mrs. Jiang changed into a rag and went to the yamen to complain.

"Who do you want to sue?" A yamen servant asked.

"My lord, I want to sue my eldest son for being disobedient...disobedient and unfilial!" Old lady Jiang cried.

The county magistrate of Hecheng County is determined to go up. Although he may not be very clean, he is good to the people. If someone sues, he will be promoted every time.

Hearing what Mrs. Jiang said, the yamen servant immediately asked, "Who is your eldest son? Do you have a warrant?"

"My eldest son is Jiang Zhen'e of Hexi Village. He has changed his name to Jiang Zhen." Mrs. Jiang said, and then took out the pleading paper that Jiang Chengxiang had written long ago.

"Jiang Zhen?" The yamen servant gave Mrs. Jiang a surprised look, and went in with the pleading paper.

Yesterday, Jiang Zhen invited them to dinner and drinks, and today someone came to sue him, what a coincidence...

The yamen servant went to find Yang Jiang, who had known Jiang Zhen the longest.

Mrs. Jiang saw the yamen servant go in, so she waited outside excitedly, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see the yamen servant come out again.

Now it's cold, she has been blowing outside all the time, tears and snot dripping down from the cold, but the ragged clothes she deliberately wears can't keep warm...

In desperation, she could only stop another yamen servant and ask.

"My lord, I'm here to sue..."

"Don't block the way." The yamen servant frowned and glanced at Mrs. Jiang, and said again: "Also, before you sue, you have to weigh your own weight first, don't tell others, and lose your own life .”

"What?" Mrs. Jiang was surprised.

After all, this is an old lady, but the yamen servant reminded her: "Jiang Zhen Jiang came to the yamen yesterday to drink tea with the county magistrate, are you here to sue him?"

"What?!" Mrs. Jiang was frightened. Jiang Zhen was able to drink tea with the county magistrate?This this……

"Also, who doesn't know that you treated him harshly and drove him out?" The yamen servant said again: "How long do you plan to stay here? Master Jiang's men are coming soon."

What a coincidence, as soon as the yamen servant finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang saw Jiang Ming and He Chunsheng coming from a distance together.

When Mrs. Jiang came, she wore ragged clothes specially, and she looked like she was poor and could not get enough to eat. After being frozen, she felt like she was about to fall when the wind blows, but now... …She jumped up suddenly, and ran away at a high speed, so fast that even young and strong people would not be able to catch up with the ground.

Jiang Zhen didn't know about Mrs. Jiang at this time. He didn't have anything to do today, so he just stayed at home and started prenatal education on Brother Zhao Jin's stomach. He read poems to the child in Brother Zhao Jin's stomach. He kept touching Brother Zhao Jin's stomach.

He didn't know whether the child in his belly was happy to hear it or wanted to protest. When he read this, the child moved a lot.

"My child, this calf is really strong!" Jiang Zhen couldn't help boasting after being kicked by the child through the stomach a few times, and then asked Brother Zhao Jin: "Does it hurt you when he kicks you?"

"It doesn't hurt." Brother Zhao Jin was a little speechless. The child just moved a few times, but Jiang Zhen insisted that he was kicking.

Maybe the child just turned over.

"It's fine if it doesn't hurt." Jiang Zhen smiled and said, "I'll read it instead."

Jiang Zhen quickly started to read again, and this time, he had only read a few words when Zhao Liu's voice came from outside: "Jiang Zhen, what are you talking about? Speak well, How do you say it looks weird?"

When Jiang Zhen was studying, he naturally used Mandarin. Obviously, Zhao Liu could not understand...

"Mother, Jiang Zhen speaks official language, and everyone in the capital says so." Zhao Jinge said to Zhao Liushi.

"Official language? What do officials say?" Zhao Liu was surprised.

"It can be said that people who are officials talk like this." Brother Zhao Jin nodded seriously.

"Jiang Zhen is really powerful..." Zhao Liushi felt emotional, and as soon as he turned around, he couldn't help talking to others.

"Do you know? Jiang Zhen can speak the official language, which is what officials say!" You can't talk about the family's money, you can always talk about it... Zhao Liu said again: "He can read and write Come and study in Mandarin!"

"Really?" The person who was talking to Zhao Liushi was stunned.

"Of course it is true." Zhao Liushi is very sure: "He is also true. Jin Ge'er's stomach is only a little bit big, so he said that he wants to teach children to read, and reads to Jin Ge'er's stomach all day long... This is an official sentence. , How powerful, how can I tell my stomach..."

"Ms. Zhao Liu, Jiang Zhen has never read a book. Why do you think he can read and speak official Chinese?" The man interrupted Mrs. Zhao and asked suspiciously.

"Maybe he met a god and got enlightened." Zhao Liu said casually, and continued: "Jiang Zhen said that the child can hear the sound outside when he is in the stomach. Let your children study, teach them to read, maybe in the future, our family can produce a master of talent!"

Mrs. Zhao Liu didn't know much, and thought that being a scholar was already very good!

As for the person who talked to her, they didn't listen to what she said later at all, and only thought about the phrase "meeting a god and enlightening" in front of her.

Without Jiang Zhen's knowledge, the villagers of Hexi Village spontaneously found a reason for his change.

Boss Jiang could suddenly become so powerful because he met a god and enlightened him!Let's just say he must be a lucky man!

After all, this was just a private talk of the big guys. A few days later, many government officials in the county came to Hecheng County, but they were really shocked.

Jiang Zhen actually bought such a large piece of land... His land is more than that of Mr. Zhao's family!

It's just...that piece of land is not good for growing things...
