Before Shen Ningsi could say anything, Gu Hong sneered, "If you have done something wrong, get out of here and don't cause trouble here."
This time, Fan Xing didn't even dare to show his anger, and could only quietly shrink aside.
Shen Ning thought about it and didn't continue to persuade Fan Xing.
She made a pot of hot potato porridge for everyone and then spoke.
"Master Fan, please keep the news about potatoes under wraps for now. After all, not everyone can accept a new and exotic food."
Fan Xing no longer dared to underestimate Shen Ningsi, "Okay, I will listen to Madam Gu!"
Fan Xing said, "Mrs. Gu, why don't you tell me about your plan?"
"It all depends on this pot of potato porridge." Shen Ningsi patted the thick porridge in the jar, "Let everyone try the taste first. When they know that it is delicious and fills their stomachs, they will naturally accept this kind of food."
Fan Xing thought for a moment and nodded, "Madam Gu, is there anything you need us to do?"
"No need." Shen Ningsi smiled and said, "Everyone is still afraid of the official. If your people go over to help, even if my potato porridge is free, I'm afraid no one will dare to try it."
She gently tapped the noses of Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu and said, "Just let these two guys go with me. It just so happens that there are a lot of people at the market today. If we can get everyone to accept potatoes in one day, it would be perfect."
After everything was ready, Yun'er was left at home to look after the two babies, while Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu stood on Shen Ningsi's left and right as they rushed to the market.
Gu Xiuwu was twisting a basket weighing dozens of kilograms, while Gu Xiuwen found a piece of wood from somewhere and wrote on it with charcoal how to grow and eat potatoes.
Shen Ningsi stood between the two children with bright eyes.
The three of them were good-looking to begin with, and now they had a balanced diet every day. Their faces had a healthy complexion, and they attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared at the entrance of the market.
Shen Ningsi is good-looking to begin with, and now everyone has given her the halo of a great philanthropist. She attracts a lot of attention wherever she stands.
Gu Hong saw this scene from afar, his eyes instantly darkened, he threw away the sweat towel in his hand and stood in front of Shen Ningsi.
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyeballs!"
Shen Ningsi was slightly stunned, and followed Gu Hong's gaze. Several men immediately lowered their heads with embarrassed expressions.
Only a thin scholar-like man walked towards Shen Ningsi with a blushing face.
"Madam Shen." He didn't call Shen Ningsi Madam Gu. "I've been preparing for the Autumn Examination recently. I saw a sentence in the book that is particularly suitable for Madam Shen. I wrote it down and wanted to give it to Madam Shen."
Gu Hong's expression had turned completely gloomy. He snorted coldly and stood in front of Shen Ningsi.
"What Miss Shen? She is from the Gu family!" Gu Hong deliberately emphasized the last two words.
"Mrs. Shen's husband is dead, why do you still call her Gu? And who are you?"
Gu Hong looked at the man in front of him who was holding his chin high and looked fearless, and curled the corner of his mouth.
"I'm your father!"
"?"
"ah!"
He was hit on the side of the face by a hook punch, and his scream almost drowned out all other sounds on the street.
"You believe what my late husband said? Why did you call her a little lady? Why are you thinking about other people instead of studying?"
Gu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sandbag-sized fist landed mercilessly on the man's face. Gu Hong did not attack other parts of the body, but used all his strength on the pretty face.
He was exposed to the wind and sun on the battlefield, not to protect these pretty boys who were targeting his woman!
Shen Ningsi came back to his senses and hurriedly grabbed Gu Hong's hand.
"Military officer! Anyone who fights in the street will be arrested and punished by the government!"
As expected, a familiar voice sounded not far away the moment Shen Ningsi finished speaking.
"I've heard that the Wanning Village market is not safe, but I never thought you'd dare to beat people in the street. Let me see who is so arrogant and presumptuous! You have no respect for the king..."
"General?"
Fan Xing met Gu Hong's eyes and gave a stiff laugh. "Who is so bold as to offend the general?"
He glanced at the young man who was being beaten by Gu Hong. Even though his face was bruised, it was not difficult to see that he had originally had a handsome appearance. They were all men, so there was nothing Fan Xing didn't understand.
"It's not a good thing to offend a decent woman in the street. Thank goodness the general is here, otherwise Madam Gu would have suffered."
The common people watching the show nearby couldn't help but lean over and said, "Master Fan, this Yu Xiucai is very knowledgeable and honest. Miss Shen has to take care of the whole family alone. It's a good thing that a good person wants to help her~"
Ana Shen was a little confused, “Huh?”
She quickly said, "Aunt, you think too much."
"I don't think she's overthinking it." Gu Hong curled his lips and stared at Yu Xiucai with a sinister look. "Don't you know she has a man? Why are you coming close to her?"
Yu Xiucai had never seen such a reckless man before. He struggled to get up from the ground. His face hurt but he was unwilling to show an ugly expression.
"Mrs. Shen was indeed married in the past, but Gu Hong hasn't come back for so long, he must have died on the battlefield. We can't let such a good person like Mrs. Shen be a widow for him all her life."
Gu Hongmei's heart skipped a beat. This was not the first time he heard someone say that he was dead.
He opened his mouth to reveal his identity directly, but Shen Ningsi's cold voice sounded.
"Yu Xiucai, be careful with your words." Shen Ningsi put away all her expressions, "Since I'm married to Gu Hong, I will be Gu Hong's person for the rest of my life. Whether he is dead or alive, I will be loyal to him and will never regret it in this life. I will never get close to anyone else."
Shen Ningsi glanced at the people around him and bowed, "I know that you all took care of me because of the water control technique. I would like to thank you all for your kindness."
"It's not easy to support a big family." Shen Ningsi smiled frankly, "But I also want to support my children with my own hands, instead of relying on others."
These words were neither humble nor arrogant, and they did not ask for anyone's mercy. Those who originally wanted to help Shen Ningsi because of her water control skills now really looked up to her from the bottom of their hearts.
"I never thought Madam Gu was such a sentimental person. Gu Hong hasn't been with her for long, yet she's so devoted!"
"Forget it, let's not introduce other people to Madam Gu in the future. She is willing to be guarded by Gu Hong, so we will just help this family."
The people looked at Shen Ningsi with two children, and there was pity in their eyes.
Yu Xiucai's face turned pale. He was stunned for a long time before he saluted and said, "Mrs. Gu's friendship is deep, and I admire her. I was rude just now."
Shen Ningsi returned the greeting generously. Seeing Yu Xiucai turning around in panic, she remained calm and busy, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Shen Ningsi's appearance, the people who had just gathered dispersed. No one noticed that the expression of the military lord who had just made the fatal move was changing little by little.
