Chapter 476 Wu Dalang, the Pancake Seller
Wang Xifeng was full of jealousy in her heart, but she showed a smile on her face. She watched the intimate actions between Huang Rong and Zhang Jianjun and felt unhappy in her heart. However, as a smart and cunning woman, she did not show it, but chose to express her dissatisfaction in a tactful way.
She walked up to the two of them, looked Huang Rong up and down, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes. Then, she turned to Zhang Jianjun and said, "This girl looks so beautiful, Prince Wang, you are so lucky! It's really enviable to have such a beautiful woman by your side."
Wang Xifeng's tone was teasing and sarcastic, as if to imply that Zhang Jianjun's good fortune did not come from his own charm, but from his identity and status. In this way, she tried to make Zhang Jianjun feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, and at the same time, she also wanted Huang Rong to realize the gap between them.
However, Huang Rong was not affected by Wang Xifeng's words. She smiled and responded, "Thank you for the compliment, sister. I am just an ordinary woman." Her answer was both modest and generous, leaving Wang Xifeng speechless for a moment.
Zhang Jianjun smiled helplessly. He knew what Wang Xifeng was thinking, but he didn't intend to argue with her. He gently patted Huang Rong's hand, signaling her not to pay attention to Wang Xifeng's words. Then, he said to Wang Xifeng, "Sister Feng, you are too kind. I am just lucky."
Wang Xifeng was even more displeased when she heard this. She thought that her sarcasm would make Zhang Jianjun feel ashamed or angry, but she didn't expect him to be so calm and composed. This made her feel that her plan had failed, and her anger increased. But she still managed to force a smile and said to Zhang Jianjun, "Then you guys continue chatting, I won't disturb you." After that, she turned and left, leaving Zhang Jianjun and Huang Rong to continue their conversation.
At this moment, a loud hawking voice suddenly came from outside: "Cooked cakes, cooked cakes! Freshly baked cooked cakes!" The voice was clearly heard by everyone in the house.
Hearing this familiar hawking voice, Zhang Jianjun could not help but show surprise. He turned to look at Wang Xifeng and said puzzledly: "I didn't expect to hear someone selling pancakes here? It's really surprising!"
Wang Xifeng smiled and explained softly, "This is Yanggu County. People here make a living by selling pancakes, and the most famous one among them is Wu Dalang! The pancakes he makes are sweet and delicious, and are deeply loved by the local people."
Zhang Jianjun nodded to show his understanding, but he was still a little curious. He couldn't help but ask, "Oh? Who is Wu Dalang? Why is he so famous?"
Wang Xifeng smiled and continued, "Wu Dalang was short, only three inches tall, and very ugly. However, what is surprising is that he married a beautiful and graceful wife - Pan Jinlian. Pan Jinlian has a beauty that can shame the moon and flowers. It is incredible that such a beautiful woman married Wu Dalang."
Huang Rong asked curiously: "How could such a strange thing happen?"
Zhang Jianjun sighed, "There are so many things in this world." Huang Rong added, "Wu Dalang is so lucky to have such a beautiful wife. I just wonder if Pan Jinlian is willing to follow him."
Wang Xifeng's eyes flashed with cunning, and she smiled and said, "Pan Jinlian was originally a maid in a wealthy family. Because her master coveted her beauty, the mistress sold her to Wu Dalang."
Huang Rong frowned and said, "It's really pitiful that such a beautiful girl has to suffer such a fate."
Zhang Jianjun also shook his head and sighed. At this time, another voice was heard: "Chuibing, Chuibing!"
The voice faded away. Zhang Jianjun suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to buy some pancakes to try, and take a look at this Wu Dalang."
Huang Rong also stood up and said, "I'll go with you." Seeing this, Wang Xifeng raised the corners of her mouth slightly and thought: This is going to be something interesting to watch.
Zhang Jianjun and Huang Rong walked towards the direction of the hawking sound, and soon saw a short man carrying a load on his shoulder. The man had an ugly face, and just as Wang Xifeng said, he was only three inches tall.
Zhang Jianjun went up to say hello, bought some pancakes, and chatted with Wu Dalang. Wu Dalang was honest and simple, and his words revealed his satisfaction with life.
Huang Rong looked at Wu Dalang and couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart. She whispered to Zhang Jianjun: "Although this man has a terrible appearance, he has a kind heart. If his wife can treat him sincerely, it would be a beautiful marriage." Zhang Jianjun nodded and was about to reply when he suddenly heard a quarrel not far away.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young and handsome man arguing with Pan Jinlian. Pan Jinlian looked excited and tears welled up in her eyes. Zhang Jianjun and Huang Rong looked at each other and decided to go over to see what was going on.
Zhang Jianjun and Huang Rong walked quickly forward and asked what had happened.
When the young man saw someone coming, he pointed at Pan Jinlian and cursed, "You bitch, how dare you cheat on me!"
Pan Jinlian was so angry that she was shaking all over. She retorted: "Don't slander me! I have never done anything to let Dalang down!"
Seeing this, Zhang Jianjun roughly understood what was going on.
He stared at the man and said sternly, "How dare you speak nonsense and slander others in broad daylight!"
The man was frightened by Zhang Jianjun's momentum and was speechless for a while.
Huang Rong advised from the side: "Sir, you must provide evidence for everything and don't speak carelessly."
At this time, many people gathered around to watch the fun, and they all blamed the man.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man left in shame.
Pan Jinlian looked at Zhang Jianjun and Huang Rong with gratitude and burst into tears.
Zhang Jianjun comforted her: "Don't cry, sister-in-law. If someone bullies you again, just tell us."
Huang Rong also nodded in agreement. Wu Dalang rushed over after hearing the news. After learning what had happened, he tightly shook Zhang Jianjun and Huang Rong's hands and thanked them repeatedly.
