Wu Shu always rides in a carriage when going out. Most of the shops in Chujiu City are already open. She is going to replenish some silk threads and come back. The driver of the carriage is naturally A Wu. He is quite talented in riding and is born to do this.
OK.
In addition, he likes horses very much. He feeds the three horses at home by himself every day, and they are very close to him.
When the carriage passed Zhang's house, Zhang Chengwang called out to him, "Ah Wu, I want to go to the city to buy ink ingots and books, can you give me a ride?"
He said in a gentle tone, "I can pay for the fare."
A Wu knew that Zhang Chengwang was Su Yuewei's husband, and he could also see that his master did not like this family. But on the surface, the Yuan family just broke up with Su Yuewei, and they were not that far away from Zhang Chengwang. As a servant, they tried to show kindness to each other.
If his posture is domineering, it will not look good to others.
Ah Wu said: "It's just that Sister Ashu is sitting in the carriage, and men and women don't know each other."
Zhang Chengwang also found out that Miss Ashu used to serve in a wealthy family. She was self-respecting and self-respecting, so she would definitely not be willing to sit in a car with a man. This made him appreciate her more and wanted to rescue her from the quagmire as soon as possible.
come out.
He also knew that Su Yueling usually sent Ashu and Awu out when she wanted to go to the city to buy things. Therefore, as long as she saw Awu and the carriage curtain was down, there was a good chance that it was Ashu who was sitting there.
"I'll just sit with you in the front room of the carriage."
Having said this, Awu couldn't find any other reason to refuse, so he could only nod in agreement, "It's just a ride, so there's no need for fare. We're all from the same village."
Zhang Chengwang was so happy that he found the banknotes and kept them on his body. Before going out, he wiped his face clean with a handkerchief dipped in water. If he wasn't afraid of wasting time and leaving a bad impression on Ashu, he would have wanted to start over again.
A change of clothes.
As he sat in the front room, he seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance coming from the carriage, which made him a little dazzled.
Along the way, Ashu didn't speak to them. In Zhang Chengwang's eyes, this was the education a real lady should have.
Because we were riding in a horse-drawn carriage, the journey that originally took three-quarters of an hour was quickly reached.
When he arrived at the city gate, Zhang Chengwang got out of the car and thanked Awu.
Wu Shu also got off the carriage. She was wearing light blue satin embroidered with green bamboo. This color highlighted her elegant temperament. Zhang Chengwang had known before that Ashu was soft and beautiful, but the dressed-up Ashu was inferior to Jingchai's cloth skirt.
She has a more elegant and noble temperament. If she didn't tell her identity and looked at her appearance and temperament, she would just think she was a lady from an official family somewhere.
At this moment, Zhang Chengwang regretted that he had married Su Yuewei just to have someone to take care of his son Jinyu.
Ashu didn't look at him and said to Awu: "After I finish buying colored silk, I will go buy some books for my wife. We will meet at the bookstore then."
Awu also had to buy some food, oil and salt, and he nodded to show that he understood. Their Guangning County was relatively peaceful, especially Ashu who often went to the city to buy things. Most of the shops were familiar with her, and knew that she was a maid from Yuan Xiucai's family, even if
She is very beautiful, and no idle man wants to bother her.
Even those scoundrels and idlers know who they can mess with and who they can't.
Zhang Chengwang heard this and went to buy ink ingots first, and then went to the bookstore.
After he selected two books, he finally saw Ashu coming.
Zhang Chengwang pretended to be surprised, "Miss Ashu, are you here to buy books too?"
Wu Shu didn't like Zhang Chengwang, and Su Yueling basically didn't hide it from her, so she knew very well what kind of character Zhang Chengwang was. Now in Lushan Village, Su Yuewei's reputation was already bad, but Zhang Chengwang won a magnanimous man because he didn't divorce Su Yuewei.
Good reputation.
However, in her eyes, Zhang Chengwang was more shameless than Su Yuewei. He always let Su Yuewei charge in the front while he hid behind him. It was Su Yuewei who shouldered the bad reputation, while he was the glorious Zhang Xiucai.
If he wanted to control Su Yuewei, with Su Yuewei's love for him, how could he not be able to control her?
Wu Shu looked indifferent, "I just picked a few books at random."
Zhang Chengwang said: "I often buy books here. Whatever you want, I can help you find it and save time."
"I didn't expect Miss Ashu to be literate. I don't see many literate ladies." When he came in just now, he saw Ashu looking for a book. He didn't even ask the waiter for help, so he knew that she was literate.
Imagine the scene if Ashu came to him and added fragrance to his red sleeves, Zhang Chengwang couldn't help but feel shaken.
"I'm not a young lady, just a maid."
Being a maid next to Su Yueling is more comfortable and comfortable than being a young lady of the Wu family. Wu Shu is very satisfied with his current life.
Zhang Chengwang showed a regretful expression, "A good girl like you who is knowledgeable and reasonable should be held in the palm of the hand and protected, but she has to serve a shrew like Su Yueling. It's like a pearl covered in dust, which is unbearable."
"I am willing to redeem your life and let you be free again."
He looked deeply at Ashu, filled with thousands of indescribable words.
He felt that a girl as smart as Ashu should understand what he meant. He is now a scholar, and after this year he will be a scholar, and he may even be a Jinshi in the future. Although for the sake of his own reputation, he will not divorce Su Yuewei, who can do everything for him
He is a wife who takes care of the young son and does housework, but he will give Ashu a lot of love and make up for her in other ways.
Although he didn't say this directly because of his reserved personality, Wu Shu understood everything just by looking at his eyes.
An overwhelming feeling of nausea and vomiting came over me.
This picture of Cheng Wang is really disgusting. He is no different from other men. When he saw her face, he was fascinated by the beauty and ignored all etiquette and integrity. No matter how many faults Su Yuewei had, her heart for Zhang Cheng Wang was genuine.
It is true that most men in this world are unlucky.
She lowered her eyelids, "Do you really want to redeem yourself for me?"
Her gentle voice is like melted sugar, sweet to the core.
Zhang Chengwang was overjoyed and couldn't wait to say: "Yes, I have prepared a hundred taels, and I can do it at any time."
"You are a beautiful woman, why should I be a slave?"
"You don't need to be afraid of hesitation in the future, you will have a new home."
Perhaps because he was too excited, he unconsciously said something that was beyond the pale, and even forgot the current occasion.
"So you want to take me as your concubine?" she asked again.
Zhang Chengwang said with excitement, "Yes, I am willing to take you in and take care of you for the rest of my life."
Wu Shu turned his head and asked the people around him, "Did you all hear what he just said?"
This bookstore opened its doors for the first time after the New Year, so many literati came to buy things. As a young scholar, Zhang Chengwang was somewhat famous in Guangning County. Many people recognized him, so they stopped to watch the excitement.
.
Hearing Wu Shu's words, they nodded, feeling a little envious of Zhang Chengwang's good luck. The beauty of this girl's appearance was eye-catching.
The next second, Wu Shu's expression turned completely cold.
"Madam has been extremely kind to me and treated me like a sister, but you maliciously slandered her reputation in front of me and tried to trap me in an unfair position. This is unjust."
"Ling Zheng is infatuated with you, taking care of your family and taking care of your young son, but you are heartless and unjust to her and try to support her. This is heartless."
"I am ashamed to be associated with a heartless and unjust person like you."
As she said that, she directly smashed the cakes she bought in her hand, so that Zhang Chengwang's face was covered with cakes.
