"It turns out to be Mr. Xiu Cai!"

"No problem, no problem, sir, just take it!"

"Remember to bring the money over tomorrow and give it to the villain!"

The store owner noticed from the beginning that Huang Tinghui's temperament was extraordinary.

Such a scholar would obviously not ruin his reputation with twenty essays.

What's more, the store owner is a very sharp-eyed guy. He naturally knows that the bracelet given by Huang Tinghui is worth a lot, far more than this horn comb.

Handing this worthless horn comb to a scholar like Huang Tinghui was considered a favor.

Therefore, the store owner readily agreed.

"Thank you, boss!" Huang Tinghui bowed his hands to the little boss. He picked up the horn comb, opened the oil-paper umbrella and walked out.

"What a good man!" Looking at Huang Tinghui's retreating figure, the shop owner's wife walked out from behind the curtain.

These days, women cannot be too public when doing business.

As for Shen Rou, it was a complete surprise.

"Why do you see my wife?" Hearing his wife say this, the shop owner was stunned and asked curiously.

"The bracelet that the young master gave you is definitely not worth less than one tael of silver."

"Judging from the appearance of this bracelet, it seems that this bracelet is often played with by the young master. It can be said that he loves it very much."

"And this young man, for a horn comb, gave you this bracelet without any hesitation!"

"Why do men need this horn comb? It's not mostly used by women. Usually, the people who buy this horn comb are women!"

"It just so happens that today there is a young man who is willing to trade a bracelet worth a few taels of silver for your twenty-cent ox-horn comb."

"Of course this is for the person you love."

"So, isn't he a good and infatuated man?"

Women have delicate minds, and they can guess the whole story just by thinking about it.

Even the store owner couldn't find anything illogical.

"According to what my wife said, it seems to be true!" the shop owner continued his wife's words.

These days, it’s rare to see a man like this who would risk something he cherishes just for a horn comb to give to the person he loves.

This little brother can be called a good and infatuated man.

Huang Tinghui naturally didn't know about the conversation between the shop owner and his wife, so he walked towards the examination room holding an oil-paper umbrella.

At this time, a carriage came from a distance.

The wheels of the carriage crushed the ground, and curtains of water splashed up.

It forms a really beautiful "water flower".

Sitting in the carriage were Chen Qiuniang and Wu Feilian, who had returned from praying at Chong'en Temple.

"Madam, Miss Wu, go some distance forward, the carriage cannot pass!"

"Today is a big day for the county examination. The county master has explicitly prohibited carriages and ox-carts from passing near the examination room."

"So as not to disturb the candidates who are taking the exam!"

"Take away the disobedient and forty rods to serve as a warning to others!"

In ancient times, don’t underestimate the punishment of forty rods.

Punishment with the rod began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but its "debut" was in the Dasheng Dynasty.

There is no other reason. The founding king of the Great Sheng Dynasty was most fond of the responsibilities of the staff.

The wooden stick used to perform the duties of the cane is not a simple small wooden stick.

This kind of wooden stick is usually made of chestnut wood.

It is the wood made from the tree that can grow chestnuts.

The biggest feature of this kind of wood is that it is strong and durable, making it especially suitable for making furniture.

The staff is a stick used to hit people. The end of the stick used to hit people is cut into a mallet shape and covered with iron sheets.

And there are barbs on the iron sheet!

Therefore, if the stick is struck down and the person executing the stick pulls it, the sharp undercut will tear off a large piece of the victim's flesh.

Therefore, generally speaking, if you use the cane ten times, you will basically have to lie face down in bed for several months.

And if the stick is thirty, you may not be able to take care of yourself in the future.

As for the eighty-year-old stick, it’s time to go see the King of Hell.

The punishment of forty canes imposed by the county master Chen Sizhi is definitely not something ordinary people can violate.

Therefore, the coachman reminded Chen Qiuniang and Wu Feilian.

"This weather, the rain won't stop!"

"How can we walk through such heavy rain!" Chen Qiuniang complained.

"Sister Lian'er, why don't we go home and wait?" Chen Qiuniang suggested.

However, after hearing Chen Qiuniang's words, Wu Feilian's little head shook like a rattle.

"no!"

"Sister Qiuniang, Lian'er made an appointment with her husband!"

The little girl's eyes were firm, and what she determined in her heart was something that even eight cows couldn't pull back.

What's more, this matter has something to do with my husband.

Therefore, the little girl will never accept Chen Qiuniang's suggestion.

"Sister Qiuniang, you are pregnant and it is raining so heavily. You should go back in a carriage!"

"Lian'er just holds the umbrella and goes down. After picking up her husband, the two of us can go home together!"

Wu Feilian said to Chen Qiuniang in a firm tone.

"You, you!"

"You are so smart about everything except meeting your husband."

"You've become like a muscle, you're too shabby!"

Chen Qiuniang said helplessly, but she knew Wu Feilian's character, so she just complained.

"You are not allowed to get wet!"

"Hold the umbrella carefully. After you get down, I will ask the coachman to take me home."

"If I come home late, my parents-in-law will definitely complain!"

"It's getting late now, so I won't watch you and your wife show off your affection!"

After Chen Qiuniang finished speaking, she handed the oil-paper umbrella prepared in the carriage to Wu Feilian.

"Sister Qiuniang!"

"Thank you!" Wu Feilian whispered to Chen Qiuniang.

"You and I are two sisters, and you are also the godmother of the child in my belly!"

"Don't be so polite!" Chen Qiuniang and Wu Feilian said.

"Yes!" The little girl nodded vigorously.

Then, she opened the car curtain, opened the oil-paper umbrella and got out of the carriage.

The rain was pouring down, and a series of water droplets hit the ground, causing a lot of splashes.

Wu Feilian rolled up her skirt and walked quickly towards the examination room.

Perhaps because she was worried about missing Huang Tinghui when he left the examination room, the little girl felt a little anxious.

Her steps were very fast, and it was precisely because she was too anxious.

The embroidered shoes that were originally worn on the little girl's feet actually fell off.

The little girl was wearing cloth socks and stood in the rain curtain in utter embarrassment.

Some people noticed Wu Feilian in the rain curtain and laughed for a while.

After all, there are not many people with empathy in this world.

The embarrassment of others is very funny to them.

The anxious little girl's face was red and embarrassed.

She lowered her little head and walked back in a hurry. As she walked, the little girl complained that she was so useless that she even lost her shoes.

At this moment, a figure appeared not far away.

The man bent down naturally and picked up the embroidered shoe.

The man walked towards Wu Feilian with a smile and gently scratched Wu Feilian's nose. The man smiled and said, "My wife is always so cute!"

"All the women in the world are not one ten thousandth as good as my wife!"

Her voice was extremely gentle, and her smile melted Wu Feilian's body and mind.
