Chapter 143
Aunt Zhou followed Aunt Wang up the mountain.
Recently, the weather has been getting hotter and hotter, and not only the flowers are blooming well on the mountain, but the fruits are also growing well.
"Sister Zhou, you see that there are a lot of jasmine flowers on the mountainside. Aunt Wang helped Aunt Zhou and pointed halfway up the mountain.
Aunt Zhou looked at it intently, and saw that the snowflakes on the mountainside were all jasmine in full bloom.
With a gust of wind blowing in your face, it is full of the fragrance of jasmine flowers.
"Ah, so many flowers, enough to make a lot of balm!" Zhou ran over with a smile.
In addition to the incense pills selling well, the incense paste is also very popular.
A small balm can leave a fragrance on the wrist for three days, and the women in Cheng'an County can't put it down.
Aunt Zhou hurriedly picked it with a basket, "Yesterday I told Bang Chun that the jasmine used to make balm at home was almost exhausted, but I didn't expect to find such a large piece
today!" Aunt Wang smiled and narrowed her eyes into a line, cut the weeds with a sickle, and said while picking the petals: "Yes, it's so timely, Zhou Niangzi, your Bang Chun is really a big lucky star, since she came to our village, she can do anything!"
Aunt Wang said the truth.
Aunt Zhou nodded again and again, "Bang Chun is not only the lucky star of our family, it is the heart of our family."
Aunt Wang smiled: "Speaking of which, fortunately, Bang Chun did not marry the Li County Ling family, you see, what is the Li County Ling family like now, that Li Dagongzi was actually born by Mrs. Li with the housekeeper, it is really embarrassing."
As soon as Aunt Zhou heard about the Li family, she thought of the fact that the Sun family came to buy a shop that day, "The master of the Sun family came to our house yesterday."
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, "What is he doing at your house?"
Aunt Zhou smiled and said with a slightly sad face: "He said that he would use two thousand taels of silver to buy our two incense shops in Cheng'an County, as well as our incense shop."
Hearing this, Aunt Wang immediately threw away the petals she was picking in her hand, and said angrily: "This Master Sun is really good at wishful thinking, and he actually wants to buy your shop for two thousand taels! Now that your shop is doing so well, are you still worried that you won't be able to earn two thousand taels in the future?"
Aunt Zhou nodded heavily, "That's right, we said we wouldn't sell it, but he didn't seem to want to just forget it."
Aunt Wang's face sank, and she took Aunt Zhou's hand and said, "I heard that this Master Sun is very vicious, you look at the shop of Lady Liu, he said to burn it."
Aunt Zhou was taken aback, "He won't come to burn our shop, right?"
Aunt Wang shook her head after pondering, "Probably not, he wants to buy your shop because he wants to make money, and he is probably reluctant to burn your shop."
Aunt Zhou felt that there was some truth, and she looked up and looked around.
Except for a road leading to a neighboring county, the mountains were deserted, and an uneasiness suddenly came over her.
She hurriedly pulled Aunt Wang and said, "Let's pick quickly, and go home early after picking."
Aunt Wang nodded, and then pointed to a path behind the flowers, "There is a path there, that is, go home farther, but generally no one from the countryside knows, I heard from the people in the village that when there were bandits in the village in the past, they all went home from here."
Aunt Zhou looked at the place she was pointing, "Okay, let's be careful, and we'll go back on the trail later."
"Then let's pick it quickly." Aunt Wang rolled up her sleeves and quickly picked flowers.
The two of them took out double the usual speed, and after a while, they picked two large baskets.
Aunt Zhou was not greedy, "These are almost, let's go." Aunt
Wang put the petals in place, "Okay, it's still early, we can wash these petals when we go back."
Aunt Zhou carried a basket of flowers and followed her with a smile.
They were just about to leave.
Three or four men with knives and masked faces secretly came to the path leading to Changliu Village in a neighboring county.
"Big brother, is this the place?" asked a short-looking man at the big tall man in the lead.
Da Gao looked around, "That's right, it's here, I have inquired clearly, the mother-in-law of the Zhou family usually goes to the mountains to pick flowers, and she will take this road to come back." "
There are not many roads in the mountains, and this road is still the main road, but because there are few people, it looks relatively remote.
"Okay, big brother. After hearing this, the short man looked at the road intently, and then said suspiciously: "Big brother, do you know what the mother-in-law of the Zhou family looked like?"
The tall man said: "I heard that it is a peasant girl with a symbol, you can see here, a good-looking peasant woman with flowers in her hand, that is her." The
short man's eyes were sharp, and he saw Aunt Zhou walking down the trail at a glance, and hurriedly pointed towards
the tall man, "Big brother, do you see that?" The tall man looked up and saw the golden hairpin on the top of Aunt Zhou's head, frowned, and scolded: "What is it, where have you seen a peasant woman wearing a golden hairpin!" "
No, she is holding a flower in her hand!" The short man hurriedly looked at Aunt Zhou again.
However, Aunt Zhou had already approached the path with Aunt Wang at this time, and they were blocked by rows of trees, and they couldn't see it.
"yes, why is this man gone?" the short man looked puzzled.
The tall man slapped him on the head, "Don't talk, someone is coming in front!" Not
far ahead, the sister-in-law of the Sun family was carrying a basket of flowers that had just been picked on the side of the road, and walked forward complainingly, "You said this is good, either it was rained, or the carriage broke down! I had to walk to the county, and I would not have come to Cheng'an County if I had known!"
