Chapter 155 Big Business!
Does this mean the Zhao family's old residence has already agreed to the marriage between Zhao Lianhua and Zhao Shengda?
He looked through the courtyard gate toward the main room and met Zhao Lianhua's gaze!
Zhao Lianhua was puzzled as to why he would appear outside her yard at this time.
She could tell the difference between a man who only talked big and a man who would actually marry her.
With just one glance, Zhao Lianhua withdrew her gaze and turned to speak with Zhou and the others.
Grandma Sun smiled and said, "That's wonderful! Lianhua's marriage is settled."
Lotus, Grandma has something to tell you. When you go to your husband's family, you must never take advantage of Shengda being an idiot.
If you behave yourself and take good care of Zhao Shengda, his family won't treat you badly in the future, understand?
Zhao Lianhua was grateful to God for giving her this opportunity to get married, and she would definitely seize it and not let this marriage fall through again!
"Grandma, don't worry, I've remembered everything."
As soon as Zhao Lianhua finished speaking, the other embroiderers from the workshop congratulated her.
Zhao Shenglin overheard their conversation and, for some reason, felt a pang of unease.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shengda's family actually proposed marriage to Zhao Lianhua.
He should be happy for her now that her marriage is settled, but he just can't feel happy at all.
……
Although Zhao Taohua had used up a lot of her spiritual energy yesterday while catching the stinging caterpillar spirit and the mantis monster, she woke up this morning full of spiritual energy again.
Now that she has so many jars of prawns at home, she needs to feed them more crystals so that they can emerge from them and become adults.
After breakfast, Zhao Taohua planned to go hunting in the mountains.
"My wife, would you like me to come with you?"
She could handle the spirits in the mountains, but he worried that she would get tired after walking all day.
"If you get tired, I'll carry you on my back?" Shen Ming asked.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Taohua directly refused: "If I get tired, I'll just come back."
"If you go up the mountain too, how will we sell our medicinal herbs?"
Recently, there have been fewer embroiderers and embroiderers in the workshop, and her daily profits have also decreased.
Previously, she had donated nine thousand taels to the village chief. If Shen Ming didn't make money, they would really be starving.
She also wants to buy a horse soon and enjoy the pleasure of riding!
A man's job is to earn money and support his family.
"Come back early at noon. I'll go to town later to buy you your favorite crucian carp and make you braised crucian carp."
After saying that, Shen Ming placed a kiss on Zhao Taohua's forehead.
Just as Zhao Taohua was about to go out, the village chief arrived.
He said with a worried look, "Peach Blossom, we're afraid we won't have enough money."
Yesterday, just buying bricks, lime mortar, glutinous rice water, grain, and settling yesterday's wages cost more than four thousand taels.
This time, our village donated a total of 14,600 taels of silver. At this rate, it will definitely not be enough in the end.
If that's not enough, shall we have everyone donate again?
The village chief proposed.
The herbs in everyone's medicinal fields are ready to be harvested. If each household donates another ten taels, they can get an additional 1,590 taels of silver.
After all, building the city walls is the most important thing right now.
However, Shen Ming disagreed: "The average donation of thirty-five taels per household is already a considerable amount. If we donate again, everyone will probably be in dire straits."
After all, once the city walls are built, everyone will need to stockpile grain and vegetables, which will cost money.
The village chief frowned: "Where will this money come from?"
"Village chief, you're in charge of the accounts. Use the money in the accounts first. Things will work themselves out. We'll find a way."
Zhao Taohua advised.
"Shen Ming, is Tao Hua home?"
Just as Zhao Taohua finished speaking, Qian's voice suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard.
A carriage followed behind her, driven by Lü Tingzhang.
For a moment, Zhao Taohua became curious about the person in the carriage. Could it be Madam He?
Otherwise, who else could make Lü Tingzhang drive the carriage himself?
However, Madam He's carriage was more luxurious and not so understated.
Seeing that Zhao Taohua was at home, Qian explained to her:
"Lord Lü has something to discuss with you. He doesn't know you're already married, so he went to the Zhao family instead."
After disembarking from the carriage, Lü Tingzhang first bowed to Zhao Taohua to congratulate her:
"Madam Zhao, I wish you and Warrior Shen a long and happy marriage."
I'm calling you today because I need your help with something. I have a distant nephew who is experiencing severe pain in his arm.
The doctor said the only way to save his life was to amputate his arm, but he's so young. If he loses an arm like this, his life will be ruined.
As he spoke, Lü Tingzhang lifted the carriage curtain and respectfully welcomed the man inside.
A burly man dressed in black emerged from inside.
He had a thick beard and deep, sharp eyes.
He had barely stepped out of the carriage when Zhao Taohua sensed an aura of iron-bloodedness emanating from him.
He appears to be a soldier of the Great Xia Kingdom?
Given the level of respect that Lü Tingzhang showed him, his position in the army must have been quite high.
Besides, Zhao Taohua also saw a lot of murderous and bloodthirsty aura on him, which showed that he had killed many people.
Her hands, exposed outside her sleeves, were covered in calluses and scars, which seemed to confirm Zhao Taohua's guess.
The village chief saw that the newcomer was dressed in a noble manner. He immediately noticed that the man was wearing a brocade robe, with a fine jade pendant at his waist and a high-quality jade hairpin in his hair.
The village chief had met many wealthy people, so he could tell at a glance that Lü Tingzhang's distant nephew was actually quite rich.
That's right. Lady He, the wife of Pavilion Master Lü, comes from a merchant family, so it's normal for her family to be wealthy.
"Peach Blossom." The village chief gave Zhao Taohua a look.
Just now, weren't they worried about not having enough money to build the village wall?
And here comes the God of Wealth, ready and waiting.
Zhao Taohua received the village chief's look and immediately understood what he meant.
However, there was one thing she needed to confirm first: if the soldier wasn't possessed by an evil spirit, then she wouldn't be able to earn this money.
"Director Lü, please lead him to the main room and have him sit down first."
Because his body was shrouded in a murderous aura and bloodlust, Zhao Taohua couldn't judge him directly with the naked eye.
"Young master, please extend your aching arm."
Zhao Taohua gently placed a finger on the back of his hand, releasing her spiritual energy to seep into his body, quickly searching throughout his entire body.
Unexpectedly, the spiritual energy had barely passed through his arm when he sensed something was wrong.
Zhao Taohua looked up at the beads of sweat on the other person's forehead. It turned out that it wasn't from the heat, but from the pain of clenching her teeth.
Lü Tingzhang immediately noticed Zhao Taohua's unusual expression and asked:
"Madam Zhao, is my nephew possessed by an evil spirit?"
In order to conduct a more accurate and comprehensive physical examination, Zhao Taohua did not answer Lü Tingzhang immediately.
After a while, she withdrew her finger and nodded slightly to the village chief, confirming that the man was indeed possessed.
And it's extremely evil!
Upon seeing this, the village chief knew that business had arrived, and it was big business!
