Cannon Fodder Strategy

The shopkeeper thought he had bowed his head, but Zhang Hongyi was still angry. When he was about to speak, Lily pulled him:

"Forget it, just choose the blue one."

"Daughter-in-law..." Zhang Hongyi was about to retort, but Lily shook his head. He gritted his teeth, not wanting to refute her words in front of outsiders, but the shopkeeper said that the wife he married was not an official wife and could not wear silk. But it stabbed him deep in his heart.

He was just a white man, so he felt uncomfortable after hearing this. Baihe was originally from the Marquis House before, so he probably felt even more sour when he heard this.

When the shopkeeper heard that Lily had chosen the color, he was relieved. He was afraid that Zhang Hongyi would play tricks later, so he quickly got something to tie up the cyan cloth. When Lily was about to step forward to catch it, Zhang Hongyi stepped forward and took it. , put it under his arm, and took out a handful of copper coins from his arms. He didn’t even count them. It was about thirty-four coins. He threw it on the counter and said, "Take it and shut your stinky mouth! Next time If you hear anyone being rude to my wife again, I will knock out your front teeth!"

Hearing his anger, the shopkeeper realized that what he had just said about his wife's inability to wear silk must have offended him. He originally thought that losing money would avoid disaster, but he did not expect that he paid some money himself, although it was not as good as this roll of cloth. Money, but having money is worse than having nothing at all. I breathed a sigh of relief and kept saying: "I'm sure." Then I wiped my sweat and took a lot of scissors and needlework as Lily asked, and also picked up some scraps. Bu Tou took a large package and gave it to Lily, and then sent the two of them out.

Spending dozens of pennies to buy such a large roll of cloth was a huge advantage. The shopkeeper even said that it was given to him. If he hadn't insisted on giving the money, he would have saved the money. However, the more Zhang Hongyi thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. When he went out, he had a gloomy face. Lily said something. His sleeves were a little helpless:

"Okay, everyone has come out, why are you still angry? What's the point of being angry with such a person? You still throw money at him. How stupid." She touched his arm with her finger, and the fingertips penetrated through the tattered coat. When the needle touched his wrist, the force was much lighter, but Zhang Hongyi's heart was still numb.

Hear Lily talking. Then I thought about the stupid thing I had just done by throwing money at people. Zhang Hongyi's cheeks could not help but become a little red. He was not such a face-saving person originally. If it were in the past, he would not deliberately blackmail others. But if someone wanted to give him a roll of cloth, he would be a bastard if he didn't take advantage of it. Ninety-nine percent of the time, he would accept it and leave.

But today was different. Today Lily was by his side, and Zhang Hongyi didn't want her to underestimate him. Somehow, by some strange coincidence, he grabbed a handful of copper coins and threw them out. Now that she was lifting them up, he felt embarrassed and embarrassed. Angry and a little regretful:

"Then how about I go find him and retreat?"

Can I get the money I gave back? Lily couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard this. The shopkeeper originally felt that he had lost money and just wanted to give it to the God of Plague. If he asked for it now, he would probably fall out no matter how easy it was to bully him. After giving everything, if the two of them hadn't given up, they would have taken advantage now anyway, and asking for more would be a bit excessive.

She shook her head, and Zhang Hongyi gave up. Just thinking about what had just happened, he felt a little unhappy and remained silent.

Originally he was very excited to visit the cloth shop. Zhang Hongyi had been thinking about making clothes for Lily for a long time, but he didn't expect such a result. His excitement was dampened by half, and he was not interested when he went shopping again. So high, the two went to buy cotton again. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching and there was nothing to eat at home, she went to weigh some melon seeds, peanuts, beans, etc., until she bought a lot. When she was about to turn around and leave, Lily hesitated:

"I want to go to the inn and see my elder brother..."

The Zhou family was originally a literary and Confucian family. From the time when their ancestors became successful, they always put study first, and their bodies were not strong. After the Zhou family's accident, many people in the family died and fell ill. In the plot, Zhou Baihe was bought by Zhang Hongyi. She survived, but unfortunately her parents had been pampered all their lives. When they were exiled, the journey was far away, and their elders got sick and passed away. Her parents dragged their breath to Yingzhou. The climate here was harsh, and the living environment was not good. Zhou's father Zhou The mother did not survive a few days, and soon died in Yingzhou. In the plot, Zhou Baihe did remember having an eldest brother, but because the Zhou family is a family that has been passed down for generations, the upbringing of their children is strict. After the age of seven, men and women sit separately, so the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is not the same. Deep, once their parents passed away, although the two brothers and sisters still had a blood relationship, their relationship was not deep.

In addition, Zhou Lily was immersed in her own fear and panic at that time, so naturally she couldn't care about her elder brother, and she didn't know what would happen to her elder brother later.

When he arrived in Yingzhou, he didn't get sick like his family members, but Zhou Baihe, the eldest brother, was not in strong health either. I wonder if he could survive in Yingzhou.

Zhang Hongyi was stunned for a moment when he heard her mention that she still had relatives. He started to have a gloomy face, worried about what the shopkeeper said, and he didn't even look happy when he went shopping. He looked expressionless. But now he heard Lily say that he was going to see his eldest brother. When he thought that he might meet his future brother-in-law, he became a little nervous for no reason, and his cheeks began to turn red. He looked down at his feet. He was still wearing broken straw sandals. Thinking of Lily Coming from the palace, my brother-in-law, whom I had never met before, might not like his current appearance, so he secretly screamed in his heart. He didn't tidy up when he came out, and looked slovenly. Think about what he would be like in the future. My daughter probably wouldn't want to marry someone like me. She didn't like her at first sight.

He thought that if he had a daughter in the future, if she was like Lily, she might marry someone else, and he felt a little sour in his heart. But then he realized that he had thought too much. Currently, he has not even written a single horoscope. The marriage was not yet complete, so it was not certain whether she would give birth to a daughter, but it was possible that she would give birth to a son. Thinking of this, he felt a little happy again.

However, Zhang Hongyi was not happy for long, and then he remembered that he had thought too far. The first thing she mentioned was that she wanted to see her brother-in-law. Sons and daughters were an afterthought, so she could not mention them for the time being.

Now Lily doesn't want to marry herself. If her brother-in-law has a bad impression of her again, he will definitely object to her. If he objects then, won't it be harder for him to please her? Fortunately, I have never been an executioner before, otherwise if I really wanted to do it, my brother-in-law, whom I have never met, would probably think less of me.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hongyi cried with tears in his eyes and wanted to refuse, but it was common for a daughter-in-law to miss her family. He racked his brains and couldn't think of any excuse to dismiss her idea. In the end, he had to shamelessly discuss with her:

"Why don't you go back today and come back tomorrow? Look, it's already getting late!" He didn't wash his hair or take a shower today. He wore the shabbiest clothes and had a beard. Usually he was too lazy to clean it up, so he never did. I scraped it, and now I regret it so much that my intestines are blue. He used to be unkempt in the past, but now he realizes how powerful he is. He was not handsome before. Beautiful men in the Da Qi Dynasty liked to wear powder and carry sachets. He once heard a book saying that the noble ladies in Da Qi loved those who rode horses. However, there is a man whose horse hooves are fragrant, but in Yingzhou there is no place to buy even the rouge that women usually wear. Where can I get these things now?

Fortunately, something happened at his brother-in-law's house, and he probably had no money to dress up like himself, so Zhang Hongyi felt a little more comfortable.

His face turned blue and white at one time, and he smiled at the corners of his mouth, and showed a ferocious look at other times. Occasionally, he reached out to touch his face and chin. His eyebrows were wrinkled extremely tightly from time to time, and then loosened again, as if he was crazy, Lily. Seeing this made my scalp go crazy, I couldn't help but reach out and hit him:

"Be more serious!"

"Ouch!" When she hit him, Zhang Hongyi screamed instinctively. He decided not to visit his brother-in-law today. Anyway, the days were long and there was no time to rush. He put all the things in one hand and didn't care. The scream he just made attracted surprised looks from the people around him. They quickly put their arms around Lily's waist and pulled her towards home:

"Daughter-in-law, let's not go now. You see, it's getting late. If you go to the inn and come back, it will be dark. Let me tell you, in Yingzhou, no one dares to go out after dark. There are villains outside. It's dangerous. Human, listen to me, let’s go back and clean up tomorrow, and I’ll accompany you again.”

As soon as Zhang Hongyi finished speaking, Lily glanced at him with disdain: "There are villains in Yingzhou, who can compare to you?"

Lily could see the way the shopkeeper looked at him just now. He clearly regarded him as a villain, and she called him by name right away. It was obvious that Zhang Hongyi was a famous boss in the past. He was like this The villain even uses others as a shield, Lily doesn't believe it!

Although I don’t know what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd, the relationship between the original owner and the elder brother is not deep. In the plot, the two of them did not even interact with each other. What she just said was just a casual mention. If Zhang Hongyi wanted to go, the two of them would The man stopped by to have a look. If he didn't want to go, Lily wouldn't force him to go. So after hearing what he said that he wanted to go home first, Lily also obeyed him and was led home by him, half hugging and half pulling her. After taking two steps, she Struggle again:

"Don't be so frivolous. It's so unbecoming on the street."

"It's up to you, it's up to you." Zhang Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she no longer insisted on visiting her future brother-in-law now, he would be happy.

After returning home, Zhang Hongyi no longer struggled with the shopkeeper's attitude because he had to meet his brother-in-law. However, when he touched the cloth, he still felt a little regretful: "This cloth is too thick. I should buy you silk." What you wear looks much better than what those ladies wear, how can they compare with you?" (To be continued...)
