After dressing as a widow

The whole family worked hard for more than three hours before the whole shop and the backyard were tidied up.

The doors and windows were cleaned to reveal their original wood color, and it looked very comfortable, but the room was a bit too spacious, except for the empty bed, there was only a table and a cabinet, and the small kitchen for cooking didn’t even have a bowl or a pair of chopsticks.

Lin Zhen thought of this when he came to visit the shop. Daily necessities such as bedclothes, bowls and chopsticks can be bought when he goes out, and it is not a waste of time to have money in his hand.

It's just the tables, chairs and benches placed in the store, which need to be customized according to their own ideas.

And before he saw the shop, he went to Carpenter Ma's house and gave Carpenter Ma the blueprint of the painting. After Carpenter Ma delivered the tables, chairs and benches in two days, he would be able to open the shop.

He said to Father Lin, Father Lin, "Father, Father, take a break and let's have a meal, you have been busy all afternoon."

There are places to eat in the town, small cheap restaurants, and more expensive restaurants, but there are only two restaurants, one is at the entrance of Zhazi Street, which is engaged in low-end business, and the other is not far from the shop rented by Lin Zhen. Do high-end business, business is not bad.

Lin's father rolled up both sleeves, and said, "Take a rest for a while, your father, your elder brother, second brother and second sister-in-law are about to leave, so we won't eat any more."

Lin Zhen couldn't keep them so busy that they didn't even have a hot meal, so he hurriedly said: "It's about this time, it's just right for you to have a meal and go back tomorrow. There is a sister-in-law in the room, and the young ones are fine."

Father Lin still insisted on his own thoughts: "There are so many of us, it's okay to get home later. You just rented a shop and you still need to buy things. You still have a lot of money to spend, so don't spend it on these unnecessary things."

After saying that, Father Lin stood up with the sweat on his face, "Okay, this room is also cleaned up, and the rest you and Xiaoyao take their three little ones and put them back together."

"Father, we should go."

"Hey, the master," Father Lin stood up and patted Lin Zhen on the shoulder, "I don't know how to do business, so I can't help you. If you encounter any difficulties, don't hide it in your heart alone, even if Father doesn't I understand, and I can listen to what you have to say, don’t you know?”

"Father...Father..." Lin Zhen wanted to say that since he has a lot of money, he would be poor if he could only rent a shop, but Father Lin had already walked to the door connecting the backyard with the front shop, with a look of absolute innocence. The appearance of asking him to spend the money for the meal let Lin Zhen know his determination.

He nodded, and could only say to Father Lin: "Okay, Father I know, don't worry, I won't just report good news but not bad news, I will discuss with you if I have anything to do."

"I'll take you out." Lin Zhen took Lin Xiaoyao, Gu Shuanzi, Lin Shitou, and Lin Zhuzi, and sent Father Lin, Father Lin, and the others out of the shop. He didn't look away until he couldn't see the backs of the few people.

Lin Zhuzi and Lin Shitou, who were standing with Lin Zhen, had been holding back, but their eyes were a little red.

The two children have never left home since they were young, and it only takes a few hours and half a day to go to play. They didn't feel it when they were working just now, but now they suddenly realize that this is not Liyu Village. It will take them many days to get there. Only when I go home can I see my parents, don't mention how uncomfortable it is.

Only Gu Shuanzi, his gaze remained unchanged.

Lin Zhen looked at the four of them, changed the subject, and said, "Go and wash your face and wipe off the sweat. Come with me to buy bedding, and pull two bolts of cloth along the way to make two clothes for you."

"Making new clothes?" Lin Shitou probably inherited the rough nerves of Lin's second brother, Lin's second sister-in-law, and now he has recovered, looking at Lin Zhen with a pair of slightly red eyes.

Lin Zhen nodded: "From now on, our shop will be called Zhenyouwei Malatang, and the guests are well dressed so that they are comfortable to look at."

"Thank you, aunt!" The clothes Lin Shitou was wearing were his own best clothes. Last year's Chinese New Year, Lin's second sister-in-law gritted her teeth and finally made one. It looks a little tight.

If they were at home, the clothes would be on Huaixiang's body in a few months. The two are brothers, and they are still young, so it doesn't matter whether they are boys or brothers.

Although Lin Zhuzi is only one year older than Lin Shitou, he is more delicate and has some ideas of his own in his heart.

He was not as happy as Lin Shitou, but he also liked Lin Zhen very much. The two brothers ran to the backyard one after the other to fetch water to wash their faces and wipe their sweat.

As for Gu Shuanzi, there was no movement at all, and he was with Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao.

After washing his face and wiping his sweat, he took out the things in his respective rooms and put them away. Lin Zhen took stock of what he needed, pulled a watch in his heart, and took a few people to the street.

It was not too early at this time, the sun had already set, and the next to it was dyed a little bright.

In the past, Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao had already pushed into the small cart with Brother Lin or Second Brother Lin, and were on their way home at high speed, but now they were walking slowly on the street, looking around at the shops on both sides.

The waiters of some shopkeepers in Zhazi Street have patronized his business, and know the time when he sets up and closes the stalls. Seeing that he is walking around the street with a few children at this time, he couldn't help asking in surprise: "Brother Lin, I'm not busy today, it will be dark in a while, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to go home!"

Lin Zhen smiled and returned to the person standing at the door of the shop: "I rented a shop over there. From now on, it will open for business at a quarter in the morning and close at night. I will invite you, an old customer, to visit me then."

"I've rented a shop, congratulations!" The one who spoke was in the porcelain business, and he sold all ceramic products.

Lin Zhen originally planned to buy some bowls and dishes, but now that he has a shop, it is not as good as before. Except for take-out, they are also packed in bamboo tubes, and the ones eaten in the shop have to be replaced with bowls and chopsticks.

He said to the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop: "Thank you for your kindness, my shop still lacks a lot of dishes. I'll come later."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Brother Lin."

The town is still lively now, there are many people on the street, those who have business are busy doing business, those who have no business are either training the waiter in their shop, or dozing off lazily, or have a headache from being tossed about the accounts.

The voices of Lin Zhen and the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop did not stir up much waves.

And a young woman who was trying on rouge with her back to the street couldn't help but frown when she heard the sentence Lin Geer, she turned her head in a strange way, and saw Lin Zhen who was also very eye-catching in the crowd at a glance.

She was born really well, with slender eyebrows, slightly round eyes, a beautiful and straight nose, and slightly plump lips.

The first thing she felt was a goblin, a goblin who seduces a man's soul.

She couldn't help but think of some words she had heard, and casually asked the proprietress of the Rouge shop: "Which shop does that brother belong to, it seems that she has never seen it before?"

The proprietress of the rouge shop was the one who showed Lin Zhen the way to the bank. She knew the identity of the woman in front of her. Young Master Qian married his wife the year before last. I heard that her mother's family was in Fucheng, and her father was a clerk in the yamen.

The previous husband fell ill and died, and somehow fell in love with Young Master Qian who was going to study in Fucheng, and married into Qian's family.

But because Young Master Qian still wanted to get a job, he studied in Fucheng, and he also lived in Fucheng.

This time back to the town, it seems that Mrs. Qian is not in good health, so she came along because she missed Young Master Qian.

In this business, the proprietress knows more than ordinary people. She also went to Lin Zhen's stall to eat spicy hot pot for more than a year. She has a good impression of Lin Zhen. She really doesn't want Lin Zhen, the next cousin of the Qian family. Facing the official lady from the prefecture in front of me, I said sloppily: "Mrs. Hui, I know almost all the families in our town. I have never heard of any family with this brother. I guess he is from the countryside."

"From the countryside..." Cai Jinzhu said inexplicably, pointing to the seven or eight boxes of rouge she tried just now, "I want all of these."

A box of rouge can be used for a year and a half, and the analysis of seven or eight boxes does not know that it will be used for a long time.

The proprietress of the rouge shop sighed in her heart that she was indeed a lady from the official family from Fucheng, and she had a lot of money in her purse. Without a word, she packed the rouge that Cai Jinzhu pointed to in a small and exquisite box, and then put it in a big box and handed it to Cai Jinzhu The maid next to her: "Madam, go slowly."

Cai Jinzhu didn't even look at her, she threw off her veil and left.

When standing on the steps, Cai Jinzhu involuntarily looked at Lin Zhen, who had already walked a while and could only see his back, and remembered some news he had inquired about.

Her husband married a brother before him, also surnamed Lin, who he said was very good-looking, if the mother-in-law hadn't kept putting maidservants in her husband's house, and used the excuse that the brother had nothing to do for a year. He's divorced, maybe the two of you will return to each other now.

Cai Jinzhu's father was a lowly official in the yamen of Fucheng who was in charge of the fields. Although it didn't sound good, he was already different from ordinary households.

If it weren't for Qian He being a scholar and still studying in the best school in Fucheng, his father would not have agreed to marry a rich local like the Qian family.

As for her, she was also greedy for money and a good life. She looked different from the dead ghost husband in front of her.

But after getting married, she happened to know the existence of his former brother from Qian He's sleep talk, and then realized that Qian He still misses his former brother, which made her teeth itch with anger.

Lin Zhen still didn't know that he was named with Young Master Qian's wife, so he told Lin Xiaoyao and Gu Shuanzi, Lin Zhuzi, Lin Shitou, "Xiao Yao, please follow the three of them, so that they don't know how to walk if they get lost in sight." , walk away with me."

"Here is no better than the village. If you get separated, it will be troublesome."

"Okay." Lin Xiaoyao has heard several cases of children being taken away by slapstickers in the year and a half since she came to the town. Although Lin Zhuzi and the others seem to be bigger in stature, Xin'er is still a child, and there is no harm in being cautious.

Lin Zhuzi and Lin Shitou seldom came to the town since they were young. They can count on one hand together, and they mostly hang out at the intersection of the three forks. They have never been to Zhazi Street. At this time, they saw Zhazi Street There are all kinds of novelty things sold in the shop, and the eyes can't use it.
