C11 Come and Fight Me Every Time

This Wealthy Restaurant was considered one of the best restaurants in Lantian County. The shopkeeper had heard about the magistrate marrying his daughter to a gentleman. However, everyone in the county had said that the magistrate's daughter was going to marry into the capital. Who would have thought that she would marry a gentleman all of a sudden?

Everyone thought that the magistrate intended to groom him, but now it seemed that the two of them had hooked up before their marriage.

The magistrate probably had no choice but to do so. Thinking of this, the shopkeeper started to look down on this county magistrate who had yet to take office. After all, most men who relied on women to take up positions did not have much ability.

Tian Qingqing could not be bothered with them. She pulled Shen Sui's hand in front of everyone and left.

For a moment, Shen Sui felt the warmth coming from Tian Qingqing's hand. He immediately felt his head heat up.

He had never been held back by a woman in his years in the army, and now he felt a surge of joy in his heart. He was pleased with himself, and a silly smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Shiyan had been staring at the two of them as they left. He stared at their hands that were holding each other's hands. He was unwilling to give up until he reached the door. When he saw them buy a large cart of things and return, the unwillingness in his eyes grew even stronger.

Zhang Shiyan confirmed with the shopkeeper again. The shopkeeper answered truthfully, but he was somewhat hiding something.

After all, Zhang Shiyan would soon be the county magistrate. He had to give him some face. However, at the same time, he didn't like this county magistrate. So he didn't tell much truth.

Tian Qingqing was in a good mood. On the way back to the village, she had been calculating the sales volume.

She and the shopkeeper had agreed to meet once every ten days. The vegetables were in time, but she still needed to wait for the fungus. Now that it was winter, she could not control the temperature by relying on those sheds. She needed some charcoal fire.

Moreover, that thatched hut was still fine at the moment, but in winter, it would probably freeze people to death in three to nine days. Thinking about this, the silver in her hands was not enough.

In order to gain her trust, the shopkeeper paid her ten taels of silver, which could be considered as selling her. However, in this village, ten taels of silver was not enough to build a house.

Tian Qingqing told her about the house.

"I have been planning to repair this house for the past two days. This house can still be kept for three to nine days. I'm afraid it can't be used anymore. But you don't need to worry about this. You just need to plant vegetables."

He would handle these matters himself.

With Shen Sui in charge of this house, Tian Qingqing did not care about it. Instead, she put all her attention on nurturing germs.

On that day, when they came back from the county, Zhang Shiyan and Lee Jiaojiao had spent most of their money to pay for the expenses of the restaurant. She did not expect that they had ordered a few dishes of vegetables and had even spent seven or eight taels of silver.

And the silver that Lee Jiaojiao brought with her wasn't much to her left. These days, they had been spending money at home and the new clothes they were wearing. With that, there's less than 5 silver taels left. It was impossible for him to survive the winter with these five taels of silver.

Lee Jiaojiao did not want to go back and beg her parents, and Zhang Shiyan did not want to be called a gigolo because both of them had their eyes on Tian Qingqing's vegetables.

That day, Zhang Shiyan quietly approached the thatched cottage and looked at the few strange sheds in the yard. He thought to himself, could this be Tian Qingqing's secret, so he curiously walked up.

Tian Qingqing was cleaning up the fungus when she saw someone approaching from the corner of her eye. She thought it was Shen Sui.

But soon she realized that the figure did not look like Shen Sui. After careful observation, it was Zhang Shiyan.

It was definitely not a good thing to be so secretive.

Therefore, he picked up the burning stick that was standing on the side and approached it as if nothing had happened. He took advantage of the fact that Zhang Shiyan did not react in time to attack from all directions.

"I'll beat you to death, thief! How dare you steal from me?! If I don't beat you to death in broad daylight, I'll come and spy on you! Serves you right to be beaten to death!"

Tian Qingqing scolded as she hit her hand. However, she did not show any mercy.

Moreover, her scolding was very unpleasant to hear. Zhang Shiyan was busy hiding and listening to her scolding. His face also turned green.

After a long time, he finally knocked Zhang Shiyan down the hill. Tian Qingqing only saw his face clearly after she realized it. She lifted the poker on her shoulder.

"Oh, so it's you! I'm really sorry. I thought it was a thief. Speaking of which, it's also your fault for being so bright in the day. What are you doing here? Could it be that you have the money to return it to me? "

Speaking of which, Zhang Shiyan still owed him fifteen taels of silver.

"Tian Qingqing, you did it on purpose. You dared to beat up an official of the Imperial Court. Do you know what crime this is?"

Tian Qingqing innocently waved her hand and rubbed her forehead. "As far as I know, this soldier who has not been appointed is not considered an official in the court. Do you have a letter of appointment from the Imperial Court in your hands? Furthermore, how can there be an official of the Imperial Court here stealing chickens and dogs? If news of this gets out, people will say that there is something wrong with your character. Who knows, the Imperial Court might dismiss you from your job."

Tian Qingqing was just casual. She did not expect that Zhang Shiyan would really become nervous.

Usually, the Imperial Court would give three months to return to their hometown after receiving a promotion. Only then would the Imperial Court let them take over.

During this period of time, if they found out that a scholar's family background was not good, or if they had a bad moral character, not only would the imperial court remove their official position, but there would also be severe punishment.

Thus, since ancient times, the scholars had attached great importance to their personal moral character. They were afraid that they would be discovered and lose their official position.

Zhang Shiyan flung his robe back fiercely. "I'm not here to steal chickens and dogs. It's just that I happened to pass by. Speaking of which, it's going to be three to nine days soon. I'm afraid you won't be able to live in that thatched cottage of yours, even though there are some conflicts between us. However, on the account that you've served my mother for three years, I can still let you go back? " "However, the prerequisite is to take out the planting method for the vegetables.

Zhang Shiyan said it arrogantly, thinking in his heart that Tian Qingqing should have calmed down these few days, right?

So, if he wanted to go back now, he could also adapt to it.

In this way, he did not need to return the fifteen taels of silver. He could still have a free servant at home. These days, Jiaojiao's belly was getting bigger and bigger. There was no one to serve her at home, and her mother couldn't see her. Therefore, she still needed him, the master of the imperial army, to deal with such a trivial matter.

He was already a little impatient. If Tian Qingqing could go back at this time, he would have already lost his patience. Not only was there someone to serve her, but there was also someone to serve her. You can figure out how the vegetables are grown.

"You also said that I served your mother for three years. Since you know your own limits, Just give me back the money as soon as possible, and as for not going back this time, I advise you to stop daydreaming. I already have a new man now. This man is many times better than you. To think that you still have the face to talk about the past, I feel ashamed for you. I'm warning you not to come to my thatched hut again, or you come again and I'll beat you up. "
