Chapter 260 A perfect match at first sight
"When you were at home, I couldn't bear to let you do heavy work. You've only been married for a short time, but you look haggard. Before we became in-laws, your mother-in-law seemed like a sensible person, but now that you're her wife, she has changed her face."
"This old thing. No, I'll have to ask your eldest brother to find some tall and strong relatives, your cousin's sons, and my brother from my mother's side, to go together. Not to mention causing trouble, but at least you can establish your authority. There are people in your mother's family to support you. The eldest brother is like a father. Do you really think that all the elders in our family are dead?"
The Taoist first said to Yu Tingwan: "Wait a minute."
He raised his hand to solicit business: "Hey, the Taoist friend in navy blue clothes."
The other party was stunned: "Call... call me?"
The Taoist thought he was considerate: "Do you want me to calculate when you will get pregnant?"
"Not expensive, two taels. Seeing that you look kind, I can also give you a peace charm, which I drew myself. Usually, it costs three taels of silver."
The sister-in-law frowned: "Two taels is not expensive?"
The Taoist priest looked so young that she didn't trust him at first sight.
"The peace charm was blessed by the Niangniang Temple and given away for free."
The Taoist priest didn't like to hear this.
"Can the peace charm in that temple compare with mine?"
The charms he drew were the best in the Taoist temple.
"The charms in the Niangniang Temple are all fooling people."
He had seen them.
"Yellow charms and cinnabar are expensive. They look good, but they can't really protect you. Even if you carry them with you, it's useless! Those who claim to be high monks, if they are really capable, would they really give them to you?"
"Drawing a peace charm is the most laborious. It's not something that can be done by just scribbling a few strokes with a pen."
The Taoist priest took out his own.
"My own is different."
He really wasn't bragging.
Yu Tingwan took a look.
The paper looked cheap because it was wrinkled. But she was close to it and saw that the talisman had a strange shape, bright and rich colors, and smooth lines.
After what happened before, she really believed what the Taoist said.
But others didn't believe it.
The older woman took her sister-in-law and left directly. She muttered to herself.
"How dare this Taoist compare with those in the temple? How can he not know his own weight? I'm afraid he wants to make money and is crazy."
The Taoist was very sad.
After all, the yellow paper and cinnabar he used were also bought with money.
He felt that he was worth the price!
He was about to put it in his arms.
Wei Zhao said, "Can it avoid nightmares?"
The Taoist priest sat up suddenly: "Yes!"
"If you wear the talisman, evil spirits dare not touch you! Not to mention some evil magic that cannot be seen in the light."
"How much?"
The Taoist priest's eyes lit up: "How many do you want, Taoist friend?"
"If you buy it, I can also calculate when your wife will get pregnant!"
Wei Zhao:... "That's not necessary."
He also studied medicine with Ge Lao, but he only knew how to cure diseases and save lives.
But when he was preparing to bring her to Wuyang City, he read a lot of books.
For example, how to prevent pregnancy.
Yu Tingwan is still young.
It's better to delay this kind of thing for a few years.
The Taoist priest didn't believe it: "Everyone knows why the couples who came here today are here. Aren't you here to burn incense? Buy some wooden plaques wrapped with red ropes and hang them on the ancient trees in the temple? The people in the Niangniang Temple said that the higher the wooden plaques are hung, the more effective the things you ask for will be." If
the temple didn't allow it, many people would bring wooden ladders.
Yu Tingwan: "What if someone didn't make it and fell to the ground."
The Taoist raised his hand: "Look there."
Yu Tingwan looked over and saw the woman with a sallow complexion trembling with her head down, being pushed away by the man behind her.
The man was ferocious: "I will beat you to death when I get back!"
"It was the boss who didn't make it, not me."
"Shut up!"
The man scolded: "It must be because you are useless and your bad luck has affected me! Otherwise, how could others make it! But I can't!"
The woman didn't dare to complain anymore, and could only coax her to apologize in a low voice.
Yu Tingwan frowned.
However... this kind of phenomenon is common in the Poor Place.
Maybe her gaze stayed on it for too long, Wei Zhao took action and turned the girl's head back.
Wei Zhao: "Don't look at other people's misfortunes too much, so as not to ruin your mood."
Wei Zhao concealed his disgust.
He had read the books of sages since he was young, and knew that it was not easy for women to survive in this world.
Young men in the capital indulged in wine and women, and it was common for them to rob and plunder. Officials were famous outside, and they used means to satisfy their selfish desires and did many dirty things. Have
n't those people read books and understood some truths?
It's just that they are also the beneficiaries of this phenomenon.
So they ignore.
So they humiliate.
So they believe that women should be inferior to them. Under absolute power, they can play with them at will.
This is often the case in this world. People who read the books of sages talk about morality and righteousness, but how many of them can do it?
In the ups and downs of officialdom, how many people are upright and incorruptible?
Wei Zhao disdained to deal with those people.
He also looked down on the man who had no ability, was poor and had patches on his body, but yelled at his wife.
Wei Zhao didn't dislike him for being poor.
It's nothing to be poor and have low aspirations.
It's just that he was a bastard. She is so poor, has a bad temper, looks plain, and has no merits. She never leaves him, but she doesn't know how to cherish him.
In terms of pampering his wife...
Wei Zhao felt that he did a good job. He
wanted to give everything to Yu Tingwan.
It's not because he is rich and can afford it.
But he wants to give Yu Tingwan better things, so he has to work harder to make money.
Wei Zhao said calmly: "If I were so poor..."
"If you live like that, I would be ashamed if the King of Hell doesn't take you."
Yu Tingwan put herself in the shoes of the woman: "...If you live like that, you don't have the ability to die, but you dare to say harsh words to me. Even if you have the face to live, I will send you to hell."
Taoist:...
You said that, and they are a good match at first glance.
No need to count.
He took out a stack of talismans, which were actually not many, only five.
Wei Zhao kept them and gave money.
The Taoist's eyes were wide open.
I didn't expect Wei Zhao to be so generous!
He sighed.
"A few years ago, I met a man with a very good fate. He was afraid of cold even when wearing furs, but he looked short-lived. Seeing that they were destined to meet, I offered to tell his fortune for free.
"The man agreed, believing that it was better to take advantage of it than not."
"But I indicated that he could buy a talisman. There were maids following him, but when they heard that they had to pay, they turned sour and said that they would rather take his life."
Yu Tingwan: ...
She might know this person...
She didn't mention Ying Fuyan's name.
The Taoist priest stood up excitedly: "We have made enough money, let's close the stall!"
Wei Zhao also pulled Yu Tingwan up.
Protecting her and walking forward,
he was going to go back and get some purses, put the amulets in them, let the girl hang them around her waist, and put one in her pillow when she slept.
Yu Tingwan still dreamed about graves frequently these days.
She changed a lot of calming incense, but it was useless.
Yu Tingwan: "Where are we going now? "
If the Taoist priest hadn't said those words, she would have wanted to go to the temple.
But obviously, she didn't want to go.
Wei Zhao asked in a low voice: "Eat?" Yu Tingwan:
"Not hungry yet."
Wei Zhao: "Go to the teahouse?"
Yu Tingwan thought for a moment: "I don't want to go."
"Then go to the Zhu family? " Yu Tingwan was
stunned .
"Where to go and what to do? " Wei Zhao's
tone was very casual.
"Oh."
He said faintly: "Take a look at my property."
Yu Tingwan:???
What the hell?
Wei Zhao added: "It's yours too."
