Making money, taking exams and supporting the family

chapter 44: The Surprise of Zhang Xiu

After agreeing with the Zheng and He couple to help, Lin Ze finally felt relieved.

He Xiangfeng had doubts about his sugar-making skills, but wise people did not speak much. Moreover, as a scholar, Lin Ze understood more than ordinary people. There was a saying in books that “there are words as beautiful as jade,” so he did not think too much about it.

Overall, Lin Ze now focused his thoughts on the right path. Working for Lin Ze paid well and was less dangerous. He Xiangfeng was sensible enough not to pry further.

This was also why Lin Ze was willing to deal with him. It was easier to interact with smart people.

These days, they had been busy one after another, so busy that they slept as soon as night fell. There was no time for emotional exchanges, which made Lin Ze very unhappy. He was in his honeymoon period with Ah Xiu, so no matter how busy he was, he had to make time for love.

Lin Ze felt that he still had a romantic side, so when he heard that Nanyang town was going to hold a temple fair, he immediately decided to take a day off and take Zhang Xiu to join in the fun.

When He Xiangfeng heard that they were going to the temple fair, he also clapped and said he would join them.

He and Luo’s marriage was rather rushed, coinciding with the harvest season. After the marriage, he had been busy with the fields and had not even had a honeymoon. When he heard about the lively temple fair, he naturally wanted to take his wife to join in the fun.

Furthermore, Zheng Xiaoluo and Zhang Xiu got along well. Recently, they had not had much time to meet, so going to the temple fair together was also a happy occasion for them.

And so, these two couples happily made the decision.

The so-called temple fair in Nanyang Town was actually a disguised large-scale blind date couple’s day event. Most of the people who went were either single or married couples.

After the temple fair ended each year, there was a wave of engagements and pregnant women in the surrounding areas of Nanyang Town, showing how much the fair fostered relationships!

On the day of the temple fair, although Lin Ze’s family’s ox cart was considered “rich,” he kept a low profile in terms of clothing.

With their current income, they could afford to dress a bit more extravagantly, but there was no need for that. It would not be appropriate to attract envy in the village, and it was more important not to flaunt one’s wealth. Keeping a low profile while making money was the true path.

So, after earning some silver from selling bread, Lin Ze and his wife only upgraded from linen to cotton clothes, which was not particularly eye-catching.

The original owner of the body had never been to a temple fair, so Lin Ze was even more unfamiliar with such lively events in ancient times. He was very excited from beginning to end, as the variety of goods and dazzling street performances were extremely interesting to him.

Of course, what was even more interesting was watching his own wife’s cheeks puff up as he ate.

At the temple fair, there were many stalls selling snacks and trinkets. The taste was not particularly delicious, but the novelty and rarity of the items made even those who were not gluttons unable to resist trying various snacks.

Lin Ze doted on his wife. Whenever Zhang Xiu glanced at something, he generously bought it for him without hesitation.

While Zhang Xiu felt sweet in his heart, he also had to quickly control his curiosity. Many things were just of passing interest to him, not something he truly wanted. But Lin Ze was completely adamant about this. He felt both distressed and happy!
