The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

Wen Ming's appearance is not bad, and his temperament is also good. When he was young, he used to study with Master Wen's family. Although he didn't have any fame, he still had some knowledge.

After marrying Wen Yingniang, he came out to toast, with a look of ease, many people in Hexing Mansion liked him.

Zheng Yi also praised him a lot: "I think this Wen Ming is much better than that Liao Qinghe, but it is really unexpected that he would marry Wen Yingniang and be willing to marry him."

If it was him, it would be impossible to marry Wen Yingniang.

But... after taking a look at Jiang Zhen, thinking that Jiang Zhen did something similar to that Wen Ming, Zheng Yi felt that this Wen Ming was not bad.

Although Wen Yingniang had been married before, she was at least prettier than Zhao Jinge, and her dowry was generous.

"He likes Wen Yingniang." Jiang Zhen said, taking a look at Brother Zhao Jing.

Brother Zhao Jing was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly he was so blessed that he understood what Jiang Zhen meant.

Wen Ming is only willing because he likes Wen Yingniang, and Jiang Zhen... because he likes him.

Brother Zhao Jin was like eating honey, and the honey was sweet to his heart.

At this moment, Jiang Zhen discussed with Zheng Yi about the Changhe Saltworks, and they agreed to visit the former Hongjiang Saltworks and the current Changhe Saltworks tomorrow.

Zheng Yi wanted to help Mr. Yang handle the affairs of the saltworks and make the saltworks produce salt as soon as possible, but Jiang Zhen wanted to build a pier on the seaside land that Zheng Yi left for him.

As a result, the money in Jiang Zhen's hands was not enough. Fortunately, he took over a big business - helping the Changhe Salt Farm to transport salt. After that, the Qingfeng Building in Fucheng will also open...

Wen Ming planned to stay at Wen's house, but Jiang Zhen failed to dig people out, so he didn't force him. The next day, he took Zhao Jinge and Zhao Mingzhu, and followed Zheng Yi to the seaside by boat.

A few months ago, there was a large-scale massacre at the seaside, and many people died, but now, nothing can be seen here.

The bones of the deceased were gnawed and rotted by animals, and finally became the fertilizer of the earth. Apart from making the trees more lush, there was no trace left in this world.

Brother Zhao Jin was here, and Jiang Zhen didn't talk about the hardships at that time, but talked about some interesting things he encountered here, such as someone who went to the beach to find edible shells and was besieged by crabs accidentally, or they fell asleep at night Asleep, it rained suddenly, so I had to jump up and find a place to hide from the rain...

Brother Zhao Jin didn't smile, but he couldn't help the soreness in his eyes, but he restrained himself and didn't show it.

Jiang Zhen said it easily, but he could hear how hard it was for Jiang Zhen to live by the sea.It was still very cold at that time, Jiang Zhen and the others were drenched in the rain, I don't know how uncomfortable it was...

"Jiang Zhen, you said earlier that you have a new salt-making method, what is it?" Zheng Yi asked when he arrived at the Changhe Salt Field.

"Sun salt." Jiang Zhen said.

Jiang Zhen has been to the seaside before and knows how to dry the salt, so he will explain it in detail now.

In fact, boiled salt is purer, but it is much more convenient to dry the salt. Moreover, the common people don’t mind a little bit of impurities in the salt—in the past, the official salt sold by the imperial court was even deliberately mixed with sand.

However, some technical support is still needed to dry the salt... Why didn't anyone dry the salt before?Isn't there no suitable container?

After Jiang Zhen explained how to build a beach by the sea, he directly asked some people to try to dig out pieces of salt flats.

At this time, people worked hard and were very obedient. So, five days later, the first batch of salt came out.

After staying in the south of the Yangtze River, Master Yang, who will be in charge of managing the Changhe Salt Farm in the future, looked a little excited after seeing the dried salt, and then asked, "How do you think this salt should be sold?"

"Everyone wants to eat salt, the price should be lower, which is also beneficial to the Queen Mother." Jiang Zhen said, he hoped that the price of salt would come down.

At this time, the people used salt in many places. In the absence of refrigerators, the only way to preserve meat was to pickle it, but salt was too expensive.

It is impossible to make salt at this time as cheap as it is in modern times, but six or seven pennies per catty can actually make a lot of money.

The Empress Dowager also hoped to win the hearts of the people by stabilizing the price of salt. Master Yang thought about it for a while, and planned to sell cheap official salt while all the salt merchants were being suppressed.

Jiang Zhen could not interfere with the matter of the salt field, and he was not interested in intervening. After confirming that there was no problem with the salt drying, he took the boat sent by Wen's family and went to the island where Zhu Erlin and others were placed.

Zhu Erlin and the others have lived on the island for a long time. Although there is no shortage of food and drink, they are always a little uneasy. Seeing Jiang Zhen coming again, they almost wept with joy.

Then, they got the good news - they could go back.

Even under the control of Hongjiang Saltworks, the lives of these people were very bad, but after all, they have lived there for generations. Compared with this small island, they are more used to life there, so they naturally look forward to going back.

Jiang Zhen took everyone back several times this time.

The place Jiang Zhen chose to build the pier was the cliff village where he had been and saved some people. The terrain here is very suitable for building the pier.

Tens of thousands of people first simply built their own residences nearby, and then started to build the wharf. Although they did not sign any agreement, they almost all tacitly agreed that they would work with Jiang Zhen, and they worked extremely hard.

And Jiang Zhen didn't treat them badly, he not only made them full, but also gave them pork.

When Jiang Zhen was building his own wharf, the people of Hexing Mansion were all overjoyed.

In the past, the price of salt was soaring all the way, and it was even impossible to buy it at one time, but recently, the price of salt has dropped.

The best salt is only five or six yuan a catty!

In the past, even private salt would not be so cheap!

When the people of Hexing Mansion first discovered this, they went crazy. Many people even bought more than ten catties of salt at a time, and they all bought all the salt in the shop.

But even so, on the second day, there was still salt for sale in the shops, especially the Zheng family's shop, they didn't allow others to buy more, they only allowed one catty to buy each time, and they could always bring out a lot of salt.

The people in Hexing Mansion were all chatting about Wen Yingniang before, but now they are all talking about the price of salt—other people’s divorce, how can it be more important than their own food and drink?

Now that the price of salt has dropped, instead of staring at Wen Yingniang, they might as well try to find a way to buy more salt. Pickled meat, pickled vegetables, pickled eggs can do anything.

The common people in Hexing Mansion are all very happy, and those rich and powerful people in Hexing Mansion are also full of expectations at this moment.

The Qingfeng Building in Hexing Mansion is about to open.

Thanks to Zhou Maohe's blessing, the people of Hexing Mansion knew about the existence of Qingfenglou, and they were full of expectations for Qingfenglou. Later, after Qingfengjiu came out, everyone became even more curious about Qingfenglou.

And now, Qingfeng Building has finally opened.

People in the Hexing Mansion who knew about the Qingfeng Building wanted to go and see it after learning about it. As for things like the drop in the price of salt...

For many people, it means that the monthly expenses of the family have been reduced by a few taels of silver. This amount of money is not enough for them to drink flower wine and tip others.

Qingfeng Building opened, of course Jiang Zhen couldn't not show up, so he went back to Hexing Mansion one day early.

He stayed by the sea for a long time, and supervised other people's work on the "construction site" every day, so that he blackened a color number, so that after wearing exquisite clothes, the whole person looked unharmonious.

Brother Zhao Jin ran back and forth between Fucheng and the seaside these days, and was actually in the sun all day long, but he was very careful that he had been wearing a hat to block the sun, but his skin was not too dark, and even his skin looked fairer and tenderer.

"Brother Jin, you look more and more handsome." Jiang Zhen touched Brother Zhao Jin's face, a little surprised.

"Really?" Zhao Jinge looked at Jiang Zhen happily.

"What's going on?" Jiang Zhen asked again.

"I'm taking tonic." Brother Zhao Jin said with some embarrassment. When he went to the pharmacy and found out that he was not pregnant, he asked the doctor to prescribe some medicine to nourish his body. It got better, and then I opened some more to eat. After eating like this, the child was not pregnant, but his complexion became better and better.

"It's okay to take a little tonic, but don't take it indiscriminately." Jiang Zhen said, and after asking Zhao Jinge, he was relieved after learning that what he ate was all donkey-hide gelatin and red dates.

These things, after all, will not eat people up.

Zhao Jinge's skin became much smoother. Jiang Zhen couldn't hold back and touched it again and again. After returning home, he threw him down, which made Zhao Jinge almost unable to get up the next day.

Of course, he still got up after all, but when he arrived at the Qingfeng Building, he was somewhat lacklustre, and couldn't help but yawned.

This was a bit unsightly, Zhao Jinge was feeling embarrassed, when he suddenly saw Wen Yingniang yawned loudly across from him.

After Wen Yingniang got married, she did not go back to Minnan Mansion.

The Wen family is not completely owned by her parents. Although his father is the head of the Wen family, there are still many elders of the Wen family.

Wen's father and Wen's mother love their daughter dearly, but those people don't like Wen Yingniang, a married woman who was disgraced in Hexing Mansion.

Before Wen Yingniang was divorced, the branch of the Wen family used her to make fun of Wen's father and mother, but now Wen Yingniang is divorced...

It was also for the sake of her daughter that Wen's father and mother let Wen Yingniang stay in Hexing Mansion, even Wen Ming also stayed.

Of course, after this matter fades away, Wen Yingniang will be able to go back.

However, Wen Yingniang didn't plan to go back, not because she liked Hexing Mansion so much, but because she didn't want to cause trouble for her parents.

Anyway, Hexing Mansion and Minnan Mansion are not far away, so she can go back to see her parents every year and festival.

"Brother Zhao Jin, long time no see." Seeing Brother Zhao Jin, Wen Yingniang greeted her.After she got married, she wanted to go to Brother Zhao Jin, but Brother Zhao Jin was too busy, and she happened to have a lot of things to deal with, so the two never met.

"Mrs. Wen." Brother Zhao Jin saw Wen Yingniang smiling, and felt a little strange—the marriage was less than two months old, and it was the time of the newlyweds. Wen Yingniang should be very happy and energetic. Looking so tired?

"Did you sleep well?" Wen Yingniang asked. She saw Brother Zhao Jin yawning just now, and she couldn't help but yawned too.

"Didn't sleep well...you..." Zhao Jinge frowned at Wen Yingniang.

"I don't get enough sleep these days." Wen Yingniang said, "Maybe I've finally relaxed, I don't have anything to worry about, I just want to sleep all day... I don't know what's going on, and the more I sleep, the more tired I get. "

"If you sleep too much, you will be tired." Zhao Jinge nodded in agreement, "Your body will still hurt." When he was in confinement, he would lie in bed all day long, always feeling uncomfortable.

"That's right." Wen Yingniang nodded in agreement and yawned again.

Wen Yingniang slowed down a little bit, and then she asked again: "Brother Zhao Jin, how do you and Jiang Zhen get along?"

"Ah?" Brother Zhao Jin was a little puzzled.

"Wen Ming follows me all day and sleeps with me, I'm not used to it." Wen Yingniang said, her face couldn't help but blush a little.

At the beginning, she felt that Wen Ming and herself were just helping each other, but recently, she noticed something else.

It was obvious that he probably liked her a little bit.

It's just... There are some places that she is not used to.

In the past at Liao's house, there were many rules. Although Liao Qinghe would come to her room to sleep, it was only seven or eight times a month.

But Wen Ming is on the contrary, these days Wen Ming doesn't do anything, he follows her almost all day, and even sleeps with her every night...

She felt that she was sleepy all the time, it must be because of being disturbed by Wen Ming.

Hmm... She must not be used to having so many people grabbing quilts from her all of a sudden.

"He doesn't sleep with you, who does he sleep with?" Brother Zhao Jin was a little puzzled. He had never been clear about the fact that wealthy families slept in separate rooms.

Anyway, he and Jiang Zhen have always slept together.

Wen Yingniang pondered Zhao Jinge's words for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it made sense.

That's right, if Wen Ming doesn't sleep with her, who else will he sleep with?

Wen Yingniang and Zhao Jinge talked in low voices as they walked, and finally stopped in a garden dedicated to the female relatives in Qingfeng Building.

It was still early, and there was no one in the garden, so the two found a gazebo hidden in the bushes and sat down, with the waiters watching over them.

However, they had only spoken a few words when suddenly several women walked towards them.

"Isn't this Mrs. Wen? Why is your complexion so bad?" asked the first person.

Wen Yingniang and Zhao Jinge frowned.

The place where the two of them stayed was very quiet. There was no doubt that this group of people came here deliberately to find fault.

"With such an ugly face, I'm afraid the man I'm looking for is not good."

"I heard that she recruited a servant of her own family... She can't get married, so she can only pick up a piece of trash!"

"Perhaps she is sad because Mr. Liao is getting married. In a few days, Mr. Liao's marriage will be done soon."

……

These people talked one after another, and when they looked at Wen Yingniang, their eyes were full of gloating.

"Ma'am, the person in yellow is Zhang Juren's wife, and her daughter is about to marry into the Liao family." The maid beside Wen Yingniang suddenly said loudly.

"Ma'am, the Liao family lives on calligraphy and painting now, and I don't know if this lady's dowry is enough for them to spend."

"Money is still second. It would be ridiculous if the Liao family produced a concubine eldest son!"

……

The maid next to Wen Yingniang said nothing but made the lady Zhang's face look ugly.

The Zhang family can be considered a big family. Although Mrs. Zhang's husband is only a Juren, his father-in-law is an official in the court.

The marriage with the Liao family was decided by Zhang Juren. Mrs. Zhang has always been dissatisfied, and she didn't want her daughter to be wronged, so she delayed the marriage for two months.

However, no matter how dissatisfied, her daughter will marry Liao Qinghe, and Madam Zhang is still on the side of the Liao family. That's why, after seeing Madam Wen, she couldn't help but come to trouble Madam Wen That's it--it's okay for Wen Yingniang to leave the Liao's house, and even evacuate the Liao's house, it's really hateful!

Mrs. Zhang came to make fun of Wen Yingniang, but when she was ridiculed, her face immediately changed, but she still said: "Mrs. Wen, you are not doing well, so you come to curse others, it is really inappropriate!"

"Who do you think is having a bad time?" Wen Yingniang snorted coldly.

"Does Mrs. Wen still think that she is doing well? Heh, she is just a hen that doesn't lay eggs. What will happen to her in the future?" Mrs. Zhang said.

This lady can be regarded as hitting Wen Yingniang's sore spot. Wen Yingniang's temper is already bad, but now she is so angry that she even wants to hit someone!

She suddenly stood up from the stool, but she suddenly became dizzy, and the scenery in front of her turned into black and white.

Covering her forehead, she frowned uncomfortably.

"Ma'am!" The maid next to Wen Yingniang quickly supported her, and someone jumped up quickly, and went to find the doctor.

Their lord has told them that they must protect Wen Yingniang and serve Wen Yingniang well, and they must not be negligent in the slightest!

Wen Ming stayed with Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi, and was talking, when someone came to report suddenly: "Master, Master is not well, Ma'am, she is not feeling well, her face turned pale, and she almost fainted."

"What?" Wen Ming was taken aback, thinking that Wen Yingniang had been feeling unwell for the past few days, he suddenly became worried, stood up and left, asking as he walked, "What's going on?"

"It's all because of Mrs. Zhang!" The maid immediately said.

Wen Ming's face suddenly darkened, and his steps quickened.

Men are not allowed to enter the courtyard of the Qingfeng Building for the female relatives. When Wen Ming arrived at the door, he was stopped. He was trying to find a way to enter, but another servant girl came out: "Master! Ma'am, she is pregnant!"
