Pure dust, that is, Wu Mulan has been recuperating in the ancient mansion for three days. She always lies on the bed with her eyes closed most of the time, and although her face is not good, she is steady, breathing steadily, and looks as if she has been sleeping. But, according to common sense, who would sleep all day long? Even a sick person does not sleep for 10 to 11 hours out of 12 hours a day. However, she takes her medicine on time every day, even if she doesn't eat much, she has three meals a day on time.

Now she is very calm, and there has never been anything out of control, but she doesn't mention leaving, so she lives in the ancient mansion. Before she came to the ancient mansion, she originally stayed at the Shiji Inn in the town. She wasn't alone, she was surrounded by a boy named Ah Chen, who looked like she was five or six years old, and a girl named Ah Zhen. When she came to Gufu, she left the two children Ah Chen and Ah Zhen in the inn, and asked the innkeeper to help take care of them for a while. After sobering up, she missed Ah Chen and Ah Zhen very much, and asked Qing Shu if she could bring them to her.

Qing Shu couldn't tell his mentality at that time, so he asked the housekeeper to pick up Ah Chen and Ah Zhen in person. When she realized what she had done, Ah Chen and Ah Zhen were already crying in front of the bed, and her aunt and aunt talked to Jingchen briefly. So, for three days, Jingchen stayed in her house with Ah Chen and Ah Zhen for three days, and no one mentioned leaving.

Qing Shu felt that it was not a way to let Jingchen live in the house like this. But if Jingchen doesn't mention leaving, can she still force people out of the house? In fact, her heart is very conflicted, on the one hand, she wants to be close to Jingchen, and on the other hand, she wants to stay away from Jingchen. wants to be close, nothing more than for Zhou Boyan. I want to stay away, because of the identity of the Pure Dust Traverser and some of the dangerous things on it.

She leaned back in her chair boredly, playing with the secret technique of oil extraction given to her by the clean dust, and her heart turned a thousand times, and for a while she couldn't make up her mind. When Jingchen handed it to her, she said that in order to save her life, she had to make good use of it and make herself an indispensable person. Jingchen also inexplicably warned her that she could not marry Zhou Boyan before the age of nineteen. She has been thinking about the meaning of Jingchen's words for the past few days, and after thinking about it, all she can think of is: someone wants to be unfavorable to her, and the reason is likely to be Zhou Boyan.

Besides, this secret technique of oil extraction is written in detail about the method of oil extraction, but it is not written what oil is used. She wasn't sure if Jingchen was testing her or what. But she clearly knows that this is the method of extracting soybean oil, that is, the method of extracting oil from soybeans. She will know, it's not that she knows how to squeeze soybean oil, or that she knows all the processes of squeezing soybean oil, but that she has read about it on the Internet and has a slight impression of it. Based on this impression alone, coupled with the description in this so-called secret technique, she connected with soybeans after a little pondering, and the answer came out. It's just that even if she knows the answer, she can't admit it, so she can only pretend that she doesn't know anything.

On the morning of the next day, Qingshu decided to go and see Jingchen. Her luck was good, and she did not lie down and sleep today, but was sitting on the bed chanting scriptures. She didn't want to interrupt the Pure Dust Chanting, and she didn't want to turn around and go back, so she chose to sit down and wait.

After about a quarter of an hour, Jingchen finished reciting a scripture and opened his eyes. Seeing Qing Shu sitting in the chair, a shallow smile line appeared on her face, "In the past few days, under the care of Miss Mongolia, the poor nun's body has improved a lot, and there is no obstacle to getting out of bed and walking, and tomorrow I will be able to take Ah Chen and Ah Zhen to continue the cultivation path." ”

Qing Shu was eager to clean the dust and leave, but he didn't know how to do it, and as soon as the words came out, they were contrary to what he thought in his mind, "The doctor said that the master needs to cultivate for more than a month before he can recover." Now that he has only been recuperating for four days, he has not recovered from his illness, how can the master take care of Ah Chen and Ah Zhen with his sick body? Although the house is not as rich and noble as the family, it still has the ability to keep the master to cultivate for a period of time. If the master does not dislike it, it is not too late to continue to recuperate here, after ten days and half a month, and wait for the seven, seven, eight, or eight years to recover. ”

Jingchen listened, stared at Qing Shu for a moment, and whispered, "Since it is Miss Gu's heart, Poor Ni will have to be cheeky to disturb Miss Gu for a few more days." ”

Qing Shu hid the frustration in his heart, "The master is serious. Then he returned the secret technique of oil extraction wrapped in a handkerchief to Jingchen, "Although I can't understand what is written on it, I am sure that it is indeed as valuable as the master said." Such a precious thing, the younger generation does not dare to accept it, please take it back from the master. ”

Jingchen didn't take it, and even said to himself, "Before you, the people and officials of the Da'an Dynasty only fed beans to livestock, but they didn't know that they were edible. Every year, the people of Da'an sell the beans they grow to grain or forage merchants at very low prices. The grain merchants or forage merchants who bought a large number of beans transported nearly one-third of the country's beans to the border and sold them to the Chu State. These merchants thought they had made a fortune from the Chu people, but in fact they were sadly tricked by the Chu people without knowing it. ”

"What kind of trick?" Qing Shu asked with interest.

"You should have heard that the Da'an magnates often eat a kind of oil from the Chu State, and everyone calls it Chu oil."

Qing Shu really knew about this, because there were still two pots of oil like this in her small kitchen. She didn't know what Chu Oil was at first, but out of curiosity, she bought two pots of expensive Chu Oil from Jinyang City and came back. After eating, she only got tomorrow, and the so-called Chu oil was nothing else, soybean oil. She was shocked at the time and didn't understand why the people of Chu would squeeze soybean oil, but the people of Da'an would not squeeze soybean oil. The people of Chu know the value of soybeans, but the people of Da'an don't? She has always been puzzled by this. Now that Jingchen mentioned this topic, she naturally cared, "I've heard of it." ”

"Someone sued me that Chu oil was actually squeezed from soybeans. The Chu people were cunning, and they discovered the secret technique of soybean oil extraction, so they tried their best to hide it. Every year, under the guise of purchasing a large amount of forage, they buy soybeans from Daan merchants at very low prices. Then, they would use the soybeans to extract oil and sell the oil to Daan at a high price. ”

Qing Shu snorted lightly, the people of Chu are really profiteers among profiteers. They actually made huge profits from the Da'an people without knowing it or ghosts, and turned the Da'an people around!

"Chu You's secret technique has never spread to other countries, and this is the reason." Jingchen pointed to the booklet of the secret technique of oil extraction given to Qing Shu, "Even if other countries have obtained the secret technique of oil extraction with all their hearts, I don't know where Chu Oil obtained it, this secret technique of oil extraction will not play its role at all. ”

"This ......"

"Now that you know that Chu oil is squeezed from soybeans, and you have the secret technique of oil extraction in your hand, it is easy for you to make a splash."

"Why should I be a blockbuster?"

"You have to become a hero of Da'an, and you have to become a well-known 'heroine' of Da'an. Only in this way will the superior protect you and ensure the safety of you and your house. ”

"Even if I can't understand the master's words, I still have to say thank you for the master's kindness. In my humble opinion, a blockbuster belongs to the powerful, and ordinary people should be ordinary, otherwise they will die faster. Qing Shu said, put the secret technique of oil extraction in the hand of the clean dust, and then retreated.

Jingchen seemed to think of something, and sighed, "You live better than I do." She pushed back the secret technique of oil extraction, "Transfer it to Bo Yan, keep it or throw it away, let him be." ”

Qing Shu didn't refuse on the spot, thoughtfully picked it up, put it in his sleeve, and turned around to leave.

"Don't go, would you like to talk to me?" Pure dust keeps her.

Qing Shu turned back in confusion.

"Would you like to talk to me? If you don't like to talk, you can listen quietly and I'll tell you a story. Jingchen said with a prayer.

The vicissitudes and loneliness revealed by Jingchen made Qing Shu unbearable, she sat in the chair, looked at Jingchen calmly, and looked like she was listening.

"Jing Fei is the eldest princess and Bo Yan's mother-in-law. Zhou Su is the big girl next to Zhou Qiao. I am a concubine who was abandoned by a famous family. We come from different backgrounds, but we are sisters in private, and we are very good. Jing Fei is smart and domineering, very possessive, she has always been like this, she has not changed, even if she has ...... two lives"

She paused for a moment and frowned, "It's probably a noble relationship, she doesn't understand what women should know such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, and female red, she can only use power." Zhou Su, she is a pastry chef, I always thought she was gentle and kind. It wasn't until that day, when we had a showdown, that I knew I was wrong. It's ridiculous, I was really ridiculous at the time. ”

"I'm good at painting peonies, and that day I sat alone behind the peony bushes and buried my head in painting peonies. Suddenly it rained, and I didn't have time to take shelter from the rain, because I was in such a hurry that I dropped my pen and ink and half-painted paintings on the ground. He came up with an oil-paper umbrella and smiled at me kindly. He gave me the umbrella and squatted down to help me pick up my things. At that time, I didn't understand emotion, and I didn't understand why I blushed and my heart was beating. A few days later, Jing Fei invited me to go on a trip, along with Zhou Su. I only paid attention to the flowers and plants around me, and accidentally got separated from Jing Fei and them, and accidentally broke into the poetry club of the young sons. ”

"I felt embarrassed at the time and recognized him at a glance among the many young boys. I thanked him in public stupidly, causing him to be laughed at by the sons. I was annoyed that I was too stupid and felt sorry for him, so I said that I would paint a peony for him as an apology. The boys laughed louder and louder, and I didn't know what to do. He was not annoyed, smiled and said yes, and called me the peony fairy. At this point, she smiled softly.

"I'm a man of my word, and the third time I met him, I really gave him a peony. He laughed out loud and said that I was a silly girl, but when he saw the painting I gave him, he said, 'You are really a peony fairy,' and then he said, 'If I meet again, I will marry you.'" I couldn't react for a long time. ”

"Half a year later, we met by chance on the street. I suddenly remembered what he had said last time and prepared to steer clear of it. He rushed over and threw me to the ground. I freaked out and slapped him. It was just a misunderstanding, he was a decent man, he didn't mean to insult me, he saved my life from the hooves of a galloping horse. He said to me, 'If we meet again, I will marry you,' and he was serious. I decided to marry him, and he made it clear to his elders that he wanted to marry me. We thought that what awaited us was a happy future, but we didn't want to, and the dream of happiness was shattered in an instant. ”
