Chapter 179 Buying Clothes
"Baby, baby, are you doing laundry?" Wang Wenzhou walked over quietly and said with a grin.
Zhang Rong looked up and was startled to see Wang Wenzhou. She was about to shout when she saw him.
Wang Wenzhou quickly said, "I am your husband, Wang Wenzhou! This is the backyard of the county government office. Who else but family members can come in?"
When Wang Wenzhou came to the county government office today, Zhang Rong and Zhang Shifang secretly peeked at him. After all, they wanted to know what their future husbands looked like. Of course, they were still somewhat saddened after seeing him. Wang Wenzhou's appearance was indeed not good. Zhang Rong was too flustered to recognize him earlier.
When Zhang Rong saw Wang Wenzhou staring at her from head to toe, her face flushed, and she quickly lowered her head to continue washing clothes.
Wang Wenzhou was quite puzzled. Logically speaking, given Zhang Shifang's family background, why would the young lady wash her own clothes? Wang Wenzhou reached into the wooden basin, picked up a piece of clothing, and smiled slightly. It turned out she was washing her undergarments herself. It seemed his future daughter-in-law was not only quite virtuous but also somewhat of a clean freak.
Although Zhang Rong was Zhang Shifang's personal maid, she was considered half a young lady in the Duke of Ying's mansion. When Zhang Shifang got married, she brought more than a dozen maids with her, so it was definitely not Zhang Rong's turn to wash clothes. The reason she washed clothes herself was exactly as Wang Wenzhou thought: she was a bit of a germaphobe and didn't want others to wash her and Zhang Shifang's undergarments.
Zhang Rong blushed and quickly snatched the clothes from Wang Wenzhou's hands, picked up the wooden basin, and was about to leave.
"Baby, where are we going? I've had too much to drink and I'm not feeling well. Will you stay and chat with me for a while?" Wang Wenzhou said, pulling on Zhang Rong's arm.
"Sir, please don't do this, let go!" Zhang Rong was extremely embarrassed. This was the first time in her life that she had been so close to a man.
"Baby, don't be shy, you're my wife." Wang Wenzhou's expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly, "Do you think I'm ugly and you dislike me?"
Zhang Rong was Zhang Shifang's personal maid who accompanied her during her dowry, so theoretically she was indeed Wang Wenzhou's wife. Therefore, Zhang Rong was not surprised by what Wang Wenzhou said.
"I don't mind!" Zhang Rong quickly explained, biting her lip lightly.
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Then you continue washing clothes and chat with me for a while."
Zhang Rong frowned deeply. She felt that if she left, Wang Wenzhou would really think she disliked him, and her mistress would be heartbroken. After all, Wang Wenzhou was her mistress's future son-in-law, and also her future husband.
Zhang Rong had no choice but to put down the wooden basin in her hand and squat down to continue washing clothes.
Wang Wen sat down on the side and silently watched her for a while. Zhang Rong's face was flushed, and she looked so shy. She was absolutely gorgeous.
Wang Wenzhou tidied Zhang Rong's hair and said softly, "My wife is not only beautiful, but also virtuous. It's truly a blessing from my past life that I was able to marry such a wife."
Zhang Rong was so embarrassed by Wang Wenzhou's sweet words that she didn't dare to look up and just kept washing clothes.
Seeing that Zhang Rong was too shy to speak, Wang Wenzhou asked, "Do the clothes I sent over a few days ago fit?"
Zhang Rong replied softly, "The clothes are very pretty, but they are a little small."
"Oh!" Wang Wenzhou thought it must be because Zhang Rong had big breasts, which made them look small. The truth was that Zhang Shifang was broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, and only "men's clothes" fit her.
Wang Wenzhou casually picked up a piece of clothing, hmm... a pair of shorts, then picked up another, hmm... a bellyband.
Wang Wenzhou frowned. They'd only sent the wedding dress, forgetting the undergarments. Ming Dynasty undergarments were truly hideous.
Wang Wenzhou grasped Zhang Rong's hand, pulled her to her feet, and said, "Come on, I'll take you to pick out some clothes. I forgot to send you some underwear the other day."
Upon hearing the words "underwear," Zhang Rong was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.
Wang Wenzhou pulled Zhang Rong away, but Zhang Rong struggled to shake him off.
Wang Wenzhou felt that he hadn't been able to sleep with Liu Rushi because of his image, which was a result of the setback Liu Rushi had caused him to be hurt.
Wang Wenzhou's expression changed, and he asked in an annoyed tone, "You're my wife, and I'm giving you some clothes, but you don't want them. Tell me, is it because you think I'm ugly?"
"No!" Zhang Rong stamped her feet anxiously.
"Be good, listen to me!" Wang Wenzhou pulled Zhang Rong out of the backyard.
Once inside the sedan chair, Wang Wenzhou instructed, "Get dressed in fine and elegant clothes."
Night had fallen, and the streetlights along the streets were all lit. Wang Wenzhou had lifted the curfew last month. Because Hanshan has a large population, the streets remained bustling with people even at night.
Four oil lamps hung inside the sedan chair.
The blush on Zhang Rong's face, illuminated by the orange light, made her look even more shy and adorable.
Wang Wenzhou was captivated by her beauty and said with a grin, "My wife is just too beautiful. From now on, don't wash clothes yourself. Tell the servants to do it. If you think they're not washing them well, I'll wash them for you. Girls' hands will get ruined from washing clothes all the time."
After saying that, Wang Wenzhou took Zhang Rong's hand and said with concern, "Look, your hands are all white from being soaked. Don't wash your own clothes anymore, listen to me."
Zhang Rong blushed and tried to pull her hand away, but Wang Wenzhou's large hand held it tightly. Several attempts failed.
The county government office was not far from the Tingermei Clothing store.
The sedan chair stopped, and Wang Wenzhou took Zhang Rong's small hand and got out of the sedan chair.
Zhu Yi arrived earlier and sent people to clear the area.
"You look beautiful and strong. It's great to be a woman. Welcome!" Three waitresses in business suits quickly came to greet us.
Ma Panqin, the shop manager, asked, "Lord Wang, what would you like to buy for your wife?"
Wang Qingtian's womanizing ways were common knowledge among the people of Hanshan. Many unmarried young women hoped that one day he would take a liking to them and marry them. Ma Panqin was no exception; she glanced at Zhang Rong with a hint of jealousy. When did Wang Qingtian acquire another wife?
Ma Panqin's mind raced with fantasies: Would Wang Qingtian take a liking to me this time?
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "You help her pick out a few undergarments first."
"Okay!" Ma Panqin nodded and was about to leave.
Wang Wenzhou said softly, "Only a thong is needed for the lower body; nothing else is acceptable."
Ma Panqin blushed. It seems that Wang Qingtian is really a womanizer. Even when he wears a thong, he looks very handsome. Do you want to see?
In a short while, Ma Panqin picked out her clothes and led Zhang Rong into the dressing room.
Wang Wenzhou stood waiting at the entrance of the locker room.
"Wang Qingtian, please have some tea." At this moment, a waiter brought over a teacup.
Wang Wenzhou took the teacup.
Tingermei Clothing was considered a luxury brand during the Ming Dynasty, so its service was excellent.
"Ah!" A scream came from the locker room.
Wang Wenzhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"I won't wear it!" Zhang Rong said, her voice trembling with tears.
Wang Wenzhou laughed and said, "Baby, be good. Underwear is worn inside, so no one can see it. Don't be shy."
“Madam, you must be from out of town. In Hanshan, young women and wives all wear thongs these days,” Ma Panqin said to her in the dressing room.
Wang Wenzhou smiled slightly. This salesperson's business skills were quite good; he estimated that she would break through Zhang Rong's psychological defenses soon.
