I do research in ancient times

Chapter 129

Ning Zaozi was planning to sail out to sea at home, but he didn't know that his own shop on Zhuque Street had been a bit uneasy recently.

The reason is all because of the tofu shop diagonally across the alley. The Xinzhou couple surnamed Zheng have two beautiful daughters.

Of course, they also like the "Xihai people" in the Ningcun workshop.

Because there were sects who used to work in Ding'an City before, when choosing the buddies, Ning Fei specially chose some unfamiliar ones, most of them were young boys in their early twenties.

Zhang Erzhu is a special case.

He has worked in the civil engineering team for many years, and he has participated in the kang and cement projects before. He is considered to be a relatively outstanding figure among the younger generation of the civil engineering team.

But the matter of coming to Ding'an City was specifically requested by Zhang Erzhu from Ning Juzi.

Ever since he saw Pinghua and Liu Tong talking together that day, Zhang Erzhu had a thorn in his heart that he couldn't get out, and it hurt from time to time.

He just couldn't figure it out, why Pinghua would rather give a weak chicken a smile than look at him more, what's wrong with him, Zhang Erzhu? !

In the beginning, it was simply unwillingness to be rejected, and in addition to the relatively big trouble before, being watched by peers, they would talk about him and Pinghua from time to time.But everyone had no other intentions, and most of them were complaining for him, which made Zhang Erzhu feel a lot better.

After all, Pinghua herself is not without faults, it's rare to see people like him who don't care about the marks on her face.

Originally, this matter should have passed like this. From now on, everyone will marry separately and have nothing to do with each other.

But Pinghua and Liu Tong couldn't help it. They not only built looms, but also became the leaders of the newly established cloth workshop!You must know that Mo Zong has never had a precedent for letting a woman be the leader. At the beginning, everyone was dissatisfied.

But soon, this dissatisfaction disappeared.Cloth workshops make money, and they make a lot of money. Those women who work in cloth workshops get wages, which are not much less than those in other workshops.

Most importantly, Jizi plans to build a larger weaving workshop in Jiuling Lake, which will recruit more workers and weave more cotton cloth. This is no small matter!

As a result, Zhang Erzhu's heart became even more unbalanced.

He is still just an ordinary worker until now, and the woman who "dislikes" (in my opinion) has become the owner of the workshop. Doesn't this clearly mean that he, Zhang Erzhu, is not worthy of her?

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the more depressed he became, the more entangled he became. Zhang Erzhu, who had been living smoothly before, suddenly encountered a crisis in his life and was caught off guard.

In the days that followed, he lowered his head when he saw everyone, always suspecting that others were laughing at him, and felt that he was worthless.

This time, Ning Fei and Ning Fei asked to go to Ding'an City. He also wanted to avoid the eyes of those people in the sect. He felt that there were wooden thorns in those eyes, which kept pricking his face.

In fact, Ning Fei has also investigated this matter, and it is not as exaggerated as Zhang Erzhu imagined.Ping Hua and Liu Tong are innocent, but Zhang Erzhu is just too sensitive because he can't accept setbacks for a while.He also persuaded Brother Erzhu, but Zhang Erzhu is also a dead-headed person, and he will run to the dark if he finds a way.Unless Pinghua made a big mistake or changed his mind, it would be difficult to get rid of the depression in his heart.

How is that possible?

Ning Saw shook his head and sighed.

Don't say that it is impossible for Miss Pinghua to do this. Even if she really couldn't think about the Madonna's heart attack for a while, he would stop her from waking up.

Personal emotional problems can only be solved by individuals. If you are a man, who else do you want to rely on if you don’t rely on yourself?

Therefore, Ning Fei readily agreed to Zhang Erzhu's request and sent him to work in a shop in Ding'an City.

Considering his qualifications and age, Ning Juzi also arranged for him to manage the remaining young men, giving him some power.

It's just that he didn't expect that it was this little right that made Zhang Erzhu a key prey in others' nets.

Aunt Mei went back to Wubao to pay the bill, and Zhang Erzhu became the temporary shopkeeper of the store.Although the store was not open, the scalpers and merchants at the door still came over from time to time to inquire about the situation, and they became acquainted with Zhang Erzhu after coming and going.

Zhang Erzhu was still very alert to these people, and would remind his companions not to reveal Mozong's identity from time to time. No matter who came to inquire, they would only say that they were hired by Xihai merchants and lived in a small town outside the Great Wall.

When everyone was about to come to Ding'an City, Ning Juzi once gave a lecture on the matter of secrecy, and carefully analyzed the pros and cons and the current situation of Mozong. Everyone remembered this matter firmly.

But when a delicate little lady showed affection to him, and her shy eyes were full of affection, the string in Zhang Erzhu's mind couldn't be stretched a little.

Zheng Erniang is prettier and prettier than Pinghua, her family is richer than Pinghua's, and her temperament is warmer than Pinghua's.

Although he is a bit petulant, but he is a man who cares about a little lady! ?It's not that I can't afford to support her!

The most important thing is that Zheng Erniang likes him very much, and she loves to chat with him whenever she has something to do, and sometimes she will make some food for him secretly, which greatly satisfies Zhang Erzhu's vanity.

The setbacks he suffered from Pinghua can all be made up for by Zheng Erniang, how can he not be tempted? !

So gradually, Zhang Erzhu occasionally talked about Zongmen with Zheng Erniang.Although he would still cling to the West Sea trade route, many details were based on Mo Zong's current situation. He planned to stabilize for a while before telling Erniang the truth.

Erniang will marry him in the future, and she will go back to Wubao with him, and she will know sooner or later.

On this day, Zhang Erzhu and Erniang came back from a tryst, and met Aunt Mei who had just returned from Wubao.

Aunt Mei looked Erzhu up and down, her eyes fell on the snack box in his hand, her expression was quite meaningful.

She smiled and waved to Er Zhu.

"Come here, Erzhu, Auntie has something to tell you."

So Zhang Erzhu followed Aunt Mei into the backyard.

There is a room in the backyard that is Aunt Mei's office. She does her daily accounting here. It is very secluded and perfect for chatting.

"Sit down, Erzhu," Aunt Mei said with a smile, "I'm not an outsider, so I can find what I want to eat and drink, and my aunt won't entertain you."

Zhang Erzhu responded, found a chair and sat down, and looked up at Aunt Mei.

"Auntie, but did Juzi have any orders?"

"Hey, there are no instructions. It's just that my aunt wants to talk to you privately."

Having said that, Aunt Mei smiled, lowered her voice and asked Zhang Erzhu.

"Er Zhu, have you fallen in love with someone recently?"

Zhang Erzhu was startled, and instinctively wanted to deny it.

This Aunt Mei is Pinghua's adoptive mother, and the matter between him and Pinghua ended like this, Erzhu also feels a little grudge against Aunt Mei.

But when he thought of Erniang's pretty face, he suddenly regained confidence and nodded generously.

"But Zheng Erniang from the tofu shop opposite?"

Zhang Erzhu nodded again.

Aunt Mei suddenly sighed, with sympathy in her eyes.

"Erzhu, it's not the aunt who has a bad mouth."

She paused, quite meaningfully.

"Ma'am, I really feel that the young lady of the Zheng family is not your good match!"

It only took a few days for her to go to Wubao to settle the accounts with Juzi, and when she came back, she found that the atmosphere in the shop was not right.

The silly boys who used to wear a pair of trousers suddenly became indifferent to each other, stopped chatting during meals, and just knew how to work hard every day.

But everything is sold almost, and the workshop is now only collecting some grain and seeds needed by the sect in private. How can there be so much work to do? !

Aunt Mei, who was skeptical, inquired in private and found that the problem was in the newly opened tofu shop across the street.

The two daughters of Doufang, the older one and the younger one, flirt with the boys in the shop, but the silly boys don't know each other, or they were accidentally visited by Mr. Feng's family a few days ago, and accidentally broke the doorway .

Who is Mrs. Mei? She is an old fox who repeatedly rolls around in the Fengyue field, and she can see the tricks of the Doufang couple at a glance.

What good girl? !How could a girl from a good family have such dexterous wrists! ?This skill of hanging, tying, and hooking, but not allowing anyone to take advantage of it, is obviously the most common trick in the building to attract benefactors!

Don't say she wronged people, she can understand the feelings of little ladies wanting to find a good family.Since she became the shopkeeper of the Ningcun workshop, every day, countless neighbors came to say hello to the little lady at home, all of whom were interested in Xihai's work, which made a lot of money and had a reliable life.

Those little ladies from other families want to marry and want to marry, but none of them come out to hook up with men by themselves.Casting a wide net, catching a wide range of fish, the ability to pick one by one without being caught by the fish, where can the young lady of a good family learn it, only the girls in the building can practice it.

I heard that this family moved here after they returned to Wubao collectively. The two maids were not helping at home, and they always wandered around the backyard of the workshop when they had nothing to do. It was obvious that the visitors were not kind.

Aunt Mei felt that this family was probably sent by that merchant to find out the details of the "West Sea Trade Route".

The things sold in the store are too eye-catching, and everything is unique, who can not be jealous of such huge profits?What's the point of losing a girl if you can seize a business route by trapping a fool in there?

Thinking of this, Aunt Mei became alert.

When she was a dancer, she had seen a lot of underhanded work among merchants, she would do anything for money, and she fell for it accidentally.

She was very afraid that fools like Mo Zong would also fall for it.

Mo Zong gave her a job, gave her a way out, and gave her a place to settle down. Even if she was a jerk who killed thousands of knives, she would protect them!

Therefore, Aunt Mei has not been idle for the past few days. First, she stood still and found out the trajectory of the little girl of the Zheng family in private.Then they broke through one by one, with a brilliant tongue, exposed the little girl's tricks with those silly boys, and pulled people out of the gentle trap quickly and accurately.

Seeing that things were not going well, the two girls of the Zheng family also narrowed their hunting scope, focusing on Zhang Erzhu.

In the past two days, Zheng Erniang and Zhang Erzhu's contacts have become more and more close. Some people even saw the two of them meeting in private.

Aunt Mei felt that she could no longer wait and see.
