The late rain is drizzling, and the alley is deep. At this moment, an oil-paper umbrella is silently walking on the wet bluestone path. How lonely and sad it must be? The raindrops dripping on the edge of the umbrella must be splashing with the crisp sound of big and small beads falling on a jade plate; the person under the umbrella must have a pale and young face.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, I wander alone in the long, long and lonely rainy alley...

Some artistic conception is always understandable, but it's a pity that some people only guessed the beginning but not the ending. Just because of the two people holding the umbrella together, the originally lonely atmosphere has become a complete joke.

After struggling deeply and hesitating for a while, Zhang San finally spoke under the sound of the dripping rain.

"Hello... Is everything going well for the Wu family?"

As a husband, he should probably say sorry for his previous behavior, but unfortunately, when the word "apology" came to his lips, Zhang San could only stiffly change the topic to the trip to the Wu family.

Although it was a pity that she didn't hear that apology, putting that aside, Gu Xuanyan smiled from the bottom of her heart, which was rare. Just this one word at least proved that her efforts were not in vain, and at least proved that Zhang San was indeed changing.

"If we don't mention the warm regards and the full house, everything would be going quite smoothly. And thanks to you, since I started to be in charge of the material preparation work, Mr. Wu also pulled me into the Chamber of Commerce circle in Taiping County. I believe that we will be able to gain a firm foothold soon.

But what surprised me a little was that I didn't expect that even though the cloth business collapsed, his Wu family developed even better. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would find it hard to believe that they were just the richest people in Taiping County.

Judging from the background that the Wu family has shown before, even if you look at the entire Zhenjiang Prefecture, they are one of the top wealthy families, which makes it a bit difficult to start with!"

If Zhang San is indifferent to feelings, then he has basically no concept of money. Simply put, he has no interest in money! This habit is indeed not understood by people in the secular world, but if it is placed in the world of cultivation, it is a rare and precious renunciation of thoughts and purity. Compared with the wealth of the Wu family, Zhang San is more interested in the means of the Gu family.

"Now that things have come to this, the marriage has been finalized and the official seal has been stamped, are you still not going to tell me?"

"Wow~, my dear husband, you lose. I bet you won't be able to help but ask me!"

Seeing Gu Xuanyan covering her lips with her hands and smiling faintly, Zhang San showed a rare embarrassed expression on his face. For a moment, he even wanted to tilt the oil-paper umbrella towards Gu Xuanyan, causing her to become a drowned rat.

However, out of his thirst for mysterious knowledge, Zhang San still patiently explained.

"What do you mean I lost? I asked this out of good intentions. I wanted to ask if you need help. I was not curious about the Gu family's methods. Please don't misunderstand me!"

Seeing that Zhang San's description was getting worse and worse, Gu Xuanyan finally relaxed. Ever since she stepped into Taiping County, she had been on edge because of the endless ghost troubles.

Under the oppression of such invisible pressure, not to mention that Gu Xuanyan is just a "weak woman", even a military warrior with an iron will cannot bear it.

Fortunately, she still has her own husband. As long as she stays with him, Gu Xuanyan can be at ease and be a beautiful girl at home.

"Okay, I know you didn't lose..."

Seeing that Zhang San gradually relaxed his mind, Gu Xuanyan suddenly took advantage of the situation and pursued him.

"…Since you are willing to admit defeat, then I will mercifully tell you. Do you know what "three points into the wood" means?"

In one second, no, just a blink of an eye, Gu Xuanyan had instilled this sentence into Zhang San's mind. It was really difficult for her to speak well.

Although Zhang San despised her behavior, the four words "penetrating into the wood" attracted all his attention.

In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Huaiguan's "Book Judgment: Wang Xizhi" says, "When the Emperor of Jin offered sacrifices to the northern suburbs, he changed the tablets and the workers carved them. The pen went three inches into the wood."

In Zhang San's memory palace, this should be the earliest description of "penetrating into the wood three points deep". As a very practical idiom, it also refers to a deep and thorough understanding of an article or thing.

However, considering the Gu family's status, I think they should prefer the literal meaning.

With the blessing of the memory palace, Zhang San's thinking speed is as fast as a computer. Gu Xuanyan only pointed out a word, but Zhang San had already completed the preliminary modeling in his mind.

I don’t know what he thought of, but his eyes, which were originally a little doubtful, suddenly flashed with a light. If that was the case, then everything made sense!

"Is that thing big? Since it's worth your time and effort to come here, I think it should be quite big!"

Even though Gu Xuanyan was very good at cultivating her qi, she couldn't help but feel a little angry at this moment. Does this guy know what propriety is? If you talk like this, you will easily lose friends! "You... forget it. It's really boring to talk to someone like you. It seems that if you want to live together, you have to train your skills as a supporting actor."

"Actually, it's usually other people who make fun of me."

"How can I be the same as others? I am your wife, do you know what it means to respect each other as equals? Do you know what it means to support each other in times of adversity? Do you know... I am not familiar with these words, so you can supplement them and train your supporting skills at the same time."

"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately? I wonder if this counts as..."

"Hey, I've changed my mind. You'd better stop practicing supporting roles in the future, or I'll get wrinkles every day!"

Before Zhang San finished speaking, Gu Xuanyan's originally calm mood suddenly fell to the bottom. At this moment, she even lost the mood to argue with Zhang San.

"That thing is indeed quite big. Just as recorded in the ancient books of the Gu family, it is made of Huanghuali wood from Qiongzhou Prefecture. The wood is fine and warm. It is considered a family heirloom even now.

Based on what I had found out before, that thing should be in Wu Yingyuan's study. Just from the location, even without testing the waters, one can tell that Grandpa Wu likes it very much.

Moreover, if they really did rob, it would be too conspicuous and would arouse suspicion. If discovered by someone with ulterior motives, it would even backfire.

So it's probably not an easy thing to get it out without anyone noticing. So, does my husband have any tricks?"

"Don't worry about this matter, I'll take care of it!"

Perhaps it was to make amends, or perhaps simply for the sake of merit, after listening to Gu Xuanyan's explanation of the whole incident, Zhang San agreed without even hesitation.

But before he could elaborate on his plan, the voice that seemed like his nemesis came again. The difference was that this time his hand failed to successfully rest on Zhang San's shoulder!

The daily plot is transitioning. Is anyone curious about the transformation of a dragon? It is coming soon.
