"The vine incense will make the heart beat faster, and the blood will circulate faster, which can help force the blood in the body, and at the same time, it will also make people in a psychedelic state. Red Candle explained.

"It also has an aphrodisiac effect. The beggar smiled and added, "That's a good thing." ”

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly asked the red candle: "Where did you get this incense?"

"The master left him in the alchemy pharmacy, and I don't know where he got it. Red Candle shrugged.

Liu Yunxiang sighed, and wanted to ask from Chongming's mouth, which was obviously impossible. But this clue is not broken, and the scholar.

Back in Nanhong Mansion, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to go to the market tomorrow to spy on Lan Niang, and then follow her home, so that he could find the scholar.

Red Candle said that this vine incense will be addictive, and the scholar may buy this incense, so that she can follow the vine and touch the melon, and maybe she can find the vine herb planted by An Hong.

This is Jin An, and she has almost no bargaining chips to negotiate with, so she can sit down and compete with this An Hong when she finds this vine field.

The next evening, Zijin came back and said that he knew where Lan Niang's family lived, but the scholar didn't seem to be at home.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Let's have dinner first, and then I'll go with you to have a look." ”

After dinner, Liu Yunxiang followed Zijin out, turned around along a small alley, and finally came to a relatively dilapidated house.

Remember https://m in a second.

"Girl, over there. ”

Zijin took her around to the outside of the west wall, the courtyard wall was not high, and the two of them could reach the wall by stepping on the adobe bricks. Looking into the courtyard from here, you can see three dilapidated mud huts, and in the courtyard there is a low table with a dim oil lamp burning on it, and the blind old woman sits at the table.

At this time, Lan Niang came out of the east kitchen with dishes and chopsticks, "Mother, you can eat first, so you can go back to the house early to rest." ”

Lan Niang's voice was soft and soft, and when she came over, she saw the broom fall to the ground, and she hurriedly bent down to help her up, and put it in the corner, probably because she was afraid of tripping over her blind mother-in-law.

"I'm not hungry!" the old woman's tone was not very good, "You are not hungry either, the head of the house has not come back yet, and no one can move chopsticks!"

Lan Niang came over and put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and explained softly: "Mother, I mean you eat first, and I will wait for my husband to come back." ”

"Am I the one who is in a hurry?"

Lan Niang sighed helplessly, "You misunderstood me again." ”

"Are you still wronged?" the old woman snorted, "Don't forget, you are the child daughter-in-law of my Chen family, and if there was a famine that year, if my family hadn't adopted you, you would have starved to death." ”

"I remember the Chen family's grace. Lan Niang poured a bowl of water, put it in front of the old woman, and carefully put her hand on the side of the bowl, "I will definitely serve you and your husband well, you can rest assured." ”

"Hmph, it's not an exaggeration to ask you to be a slave and a slave. ”

"Yes, I willingly. ”

Zijin pursed his lips and whispered: "This mother and son, one eats soft rice, and the other relies on the old and sells the old, which are not good things. ”

"Who? who is outside the west wall of my house?" cried the blind old woman with her ears open.

Liu Yunxiang and Zijin hurriedly lowered their bodies, heard footsteps coming, and hurriedly hid in the dark. It's just that at this time, the courtyard door was pushed open with a bang, and someone walked in quickly.

"Husband, why did you come back so late?" Lan Niang turned to Chen Hou and walked towards Chen Hou, "Hey, what's the matter with your face?

Chen Hou's face was pale, and when he saw Lan Niang's concern, he became even more angry.

"It's not because of you!"

"Me?"

"In Nan Mo Zhai, if you are willing to cooperate with me, they are afraid of affecting the business, and they will definitely obediently give me ten taels of silver, so that I can still be beaten if I have money?" Chen Hou said angrily.

"Hou'er, who have you been beaten? Is it serious?" The old woman got up anxiously, followed the voice of Chen Hou, and supported the front with both hands.

Seeing this, Lan Niang hurriedly stepped forward to help the old woman, "Mother, slow down." ”

"I can't fall to death, but my son has a good one, and I can't survive!" said the old woman anxiously.

Chen Hou looked impatient, but he also walked over to support the old woman.

"I'm fine. ”

The old woman hurriedly reached out to touch her son's face, "Where is the injury?"

"Shhh

The old woman touched the wound, and Chen Hou shrank back in pain. It was estimated that he was afraid that the old lady would touch him again, so Chen Hou let go of her and took two steps back.

The old woman couldn't touch her son, so she was a little anxious.

"Hou'er, are you seriously injured?"

Seeing that Chen Hou didn't like to take care of it, Lan Niang replied for him: "It's not serious, it's only scratched skin." ”

"Since the skin is scratched, it must be bleeding, and the bleeding is not serious, why is your heart so hard!" said the old woman and twisted Lan Niang with her backhand.

Lan Niang frowned in pain, but she just endured it and didn't dodge.

"Husband, what the hell is going on, who beat you?"

Chen Hou snorted, "Isn't it because of the ten taels of silver?"

"Why?"

Chen Hou snorted coldly, "The imperial examination has to pay an application fee, ten taels of silver, I don't still want to sign up, people will naturally beat me." ”

"Yo, delay the imperial examination, that's a big deal!" The blind woman was anxious, and grabbed Lan Niang instead, "Give Hou'er money quickly, let him sign up quickly." ”

Lan Niang pursed her lips, "Husband, you said last time that you had already taken ten taels of silver." ”

"When will I ......?"

"Last month eighteen. ”

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, when will the imperial examination have to pay for the registration fee, it is clearly a lie.

Chen Hou coughed dryly, "That is, I have to pay it once, and then I can enter the exam." ”

"How can there be this, why don't I ask tomorrow?" Lan Niang frowned.

"Where are you going to ask? What are you going to ask? People ask for money, but I don't have it, then I can't take the exam, if I can't take the exam, I can't glorify my ancestors, and I can't let my mother live a good life, all of which have been delayed by your mother-in-law!"

"Hou'er doesn't know more than you know, don't give him money soon!" the blind woman urged Lan Niang.

Lan Niang was helpless: "But how can I have ten taels of silver......"

"You go out to sell vegetables and rice cakes every day, why don't you have it, don't you spend it secretly?"

"Mother, I can only earn a few dollars by selling vegetables and rice cakes, the last time I saved ten taels for a year, this time it was ten taels, how can I have it." ”

"If not, hurry up and think about it!" the blind woman pushed Lan Niang.

Lan Niang's face was embarrassed, how could she have a way to get money.

"So when you are in Nanmozhai, you should cooperate with me to say that the inkstone is ten taels of silver, and it will all make you bad!" Chen Houqi gritted his teeth and said.

"But that's a cheat. ”

"If you have money, you can do so much!"

When the blind woman heard this, she frowned, "Hou'er, you can't say that, there is no money, we can borrow it, and we will pay it back when we have money, but we can't deceive people, this scholar ......"

"Okay, don't preach, you can give me ten taels of silver if you have the ability. Chen Hou said irritably.

"Hou'er......" The blind woman looked stunned, she didn't expect her son to talk to her like this.

Chen Hou frowned: "I have studied hard for ten years, I am worthy of the ancestors of the Chen family, worthy of you, in the end, I can't enter the examination room, I can't embark on a career, I can't complain about me, I can only complain that you are useless!"

With that, he rushed into the house in a rage.

The blind woman's tears flowed out, "It's useless to blame me!"

"Mother, husband shouldn't talk to you like this, I ......"

"What are you, don't you want to find money soon!"

Hearing this, Zijin said angrily: "It is worthy of being a mother and son, one is more shameless than the other!"
