Chapter 38

Nonsense, who wouldn’t be embarrassed to be misunderstood like this?

Even though Mingxiu didn't mean anything to Xie Zhan and only regarded Xie Zhan as a friend, it was because of this that Mingxiu was particularly embarrassed.

Because of the waiter's misunderstanding, the boss's wife was also embarrassed, so she gave Mingxiu a piece of stained brocade as a compliment and to express her apology.

Although Mingxiu was not interested in bright red brocade, she thought Ming's mother might like the material, so she kept it as an apology from the landlady.

"What the guy said just now..."

Xie Zhan endured it for a long time and finally spoke on the way back.

"What's wrong? I've just been misunderstood. Do you really care about it?" Mingxiu was a little dumbfounded. "If you fail to get a wife in the future, I will definitely find a matchmaker to help you. Don't think about it.

."

She and Xie Zhan are really not suitable for each other. Apart from other things, their personalities just don't get along, and they can't even talk to each other.

The misunderstanding of the clerk can only be a misunderstanding and cannot become a fact.

Unexpectedly, this woman's reaction would be like this. Xie Zhan rolled his eyes for the first time, "What are you thinking about? I just want you to stop thinking about it!" How could he fall in love with this woman who was not gentle and virtuous at all?

joke!

In Xie Zhan's mind, his future wife does not necessarily have to have a strong background, but one thing is that she must be gentle and virtuous and be his good wife!

A woman like Mingxiu, who always thinks about making a career for himself outside, wants her to be his wife? Please spare him now!

"It's best if you don't have that kind of intention. If you do, take it back quickly."

"..."

We were speechless all the way home.

Ming's mother was very happy to know that Mingxiu had bought fabrics. "I was planning to go to the town to buy some fabrics in the next few days. You bought them now. It's really considerate of the girl."

But after seeing the fabric, I wasn't so happy.

"My Xiu'er, our family can't wear such fine materials."

Mingxiu only wore silk. Neither she nor Ming's father had ever worn such fine materials in their lives.

A few years ago, Ming's mother felt it was very luxurious to be able to buy some fine cotton cloth to make clothes. Now that silk was still available, how could she be willing to wear it even if it was made into clothes?

"Now that the family doesn't lack this little money, why can't we wear it?" Mingxiu didn't care, "I haven't seen my mother wear good clothes yet, so don't be reluctant. Xie Zhan and I will go out this time to meet Xian Xian.

Shopkeeper Xu of Xianglou has agreed to deliver two hundred kilograms of vegetables every day from now on. Our family will have a stable income and there will be no shortage of money at home. Don’t skimp on this."

"What do you know, little kid? Even landlords don't want to show off. The old people say that wealth comes from simplicity. Our family is spending so much money. No matter how much money we have, we can't afford to spend it!"

Mingxiu never thinks that money can be saved. If there are ways to make money, what's the matter with being kind to yourself?

She just wears nicer clothes. What kind of luxury is that?

"Mom, don't you know what your girl is capable of?" Mingxiu said helplessly, "I will never lose money to you and my father. I have enough money at home, don't worry."

Only then did Ming's mother feel that Mingxiu was a little crooked. She and Ming's father had never expressed the sorrow of having no money in front of Mingxiu. Now that they had made money, it was even more so. Basically, Mingxiu wanted whatever he wanted, as long as the family had enough money.

No flowers are stingy.

Now Mingxiu actually has a luxurious heart.

This is not possible!

"You naughty kid who wants to die, who said that the money at home is enough? Your father and I will not need much money to support ourselves in the future. We can support ourselves if we can move, but you will get married in the future, and you don't have a dowry yet.

You saved it, and now you are so lavish?!"

Does she still want to get married in the future?

Mingxiu curled her lips secretly, "What's the point? If her future husband thinks her dowry is not large enough, she would rather not marry!"

It’s nice to stay at home and feel free!

Mingxiu inquired about it. The Desert Country encourages childbirth. If a woman reaches the age of twenty and does not marry, she will be fined one tael of silver every year. If she reaches the age of twenty-five and does not marry, the fine will be increased to five taels!

This amount is quite a lot for ordinary people, but Mingxiu doesn't think it's anything.

Just hand it over, what's the big deal.

But she knew that arguing with Ming's mother would be fruitless, and she didn't want to get into trouble with her mother over this matter. Anyway, she was still young, and if she didn't want to get married in the future, would Ming's mother force her to be tied to a sedan chair?

Not successful?

"Okay, okay, I know Mom is doing it for my own good, but I also want to be filial to my parents! Do you think our family's recent income is quite high? In addition, Xie Zhan brought it, so there is no shortage of this.

Son, if you and dad put on good clothes, you will be embarrassed when you go out, right?"

This is her filial piety.

Ming's mother always had a hard time saying anything, not to mention what Mingxiu said made sense. She and Ming's father looked more respectable, and she would have the confidence to propose marriage to Mingxiu in the future, so that she would not be looked down upon by others.

"What else can I say? You won't be allowed to do this again."

Mingxiu smiled flatteringly and did not answer.

Xie Zhan watched coldly, secretly curious in his heart, wondering what kind of man could win back Mingxiu.

He has been with Mingxiu for a while. This woman is not inferior to ordinary men in terms of ability and character. If her future husband is not good enough, then it is better to hope that she will find a son-in-law.

The Ming couple also had the same idea.

It's just that the conditions for recruiting a son-in-law in this dynasty are quite harsh. First, a female household must be established. Generally speaking, it cannot pass the yamen registration. Although it seems a bit early to think about this now, he wants to see what Mingxiu will be when the time comes.

What will happen!

In a blink of an eye, it was almost time to finish the work on the house. Xie Zhan suddenly came to Mingxiu and said, "I advise you to repair the door more tightly when you have money at home and save more food."

Mingxiu didn't know why, "How to say?"

Food is the most important thing for the people, so it is appropriate to keep some food at home, but Xie Zhan obviously did not mean this.

"In recent years, there has been a debate in the court about whether to conquer the Southern Dynasties. Maybe we will send troops in the next two years. Now we are in a border town. Once we send troops, the price of food and grass in the border town will skyrocket. By then, even if you have money, you may not have food."

"I'm living a good life but I'm not satisfied. I have to use the army to do something." Mingxiu curled her lips. She was a child who grew up in a peaceful era. She was unfamiliar with war, but at the same time she also hated it deeply.

What's wrong with living a peaceful life? If you have to use the army, in fact, to put it bluntly, it's nothing more than the ambition of the superior.
