Chapter 24: Selling Herbs

In fact, Li Yanpin is still quite good-looking, with a round face, slender eyebrows, a pair of apricot eyes, and fair skin. There is always a gentle and humble light expression on his face, which always gives people a feeling of being approachable and easy to get close to.

Gu Lan didn't understand, why didn't Mrs. Gu treat Li Yanpin with such a good personality? Instead, he got close to the bitter Chen Zhilan.

"Mingzhu, it's dawn, didn't you say you were going to the market? If you don't get up, it's too late, why don't I tell Uncle Zhao about it, let's take Uncle Zhao's ox cart today. Li Yanpin stood beside Gu Lan's bed, bent over, took Gu Lan's hand and said.

"Ahh I almost forgot. Gu Lan got up from the bed with a bone. Washed up in a hurry, picked up a comb, and casually combed a ponytail.

"Mom, are the herbs ready?" Gu Lan asked Li Yanpin while cleaning up himself.

"It's all done, and it's still open!" Li Yanpin picked up the bamboo basket and replied.

"Let's go!" It was the first time for Gu Lan to go to the market, and he was inevitably a little looking forward to it, so he pulled Li Yanpin and walked out.

"Why don't you have breakfast before you leave?"

"No, let's go to the market and eat." Thinking about the porridge, she had no appetite at all.

"Eat at the bazaar? Very expensive. Li Yanpin was a little hesitant, she always went to the market after breakfast at home, and never ate breakfast at the market.

"Let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late. Gu Lan saw Li Yanpin's hesitation, and pulled her and walked out, being a man, the most important thing is to have fun in time.

When the two of them rushed to Uncle Zhao's ox cart, there were already some people sitting on the ox cart, all of them women, including Gu Lan's aunt Chen Zhilan.

When he saw Chen Zhilan, Gu Lan secretly screamed bad luck, and he could meet together in a hurry.

When Chen Zhilan saw Gu Lan and Li Yanpin, she glared at her, pouted, turned her head and went to talk to the others, ignoring Li Yanpin and Gu Lan.

Gu Lan didn't bother to greet her, and pulled Li Yanpin to sit down on the ox cart, Uncle Zhao's ox cart was not wide but long, and could seat seven or eight people.

After Li Yanpin and Gu Lan sat up, the ox cart was full.

"Sit down, let's go." When Uncle Zhao saw that the ox cart was full, he waved his whip and drove the ox cart away.

Li Yanpin told Gu Lan that each person paid three cents to ride the ox cart, and only Uncle Zhao and the landlord's family had cattle in the village, and the landlord's family would not drive the ox cart out for people to ride.

Zhengning Village is three or four miles away from the market, and it is actually possible to walk there. But it takes too much time, and it doesn't cost much money to take the ox cart, so the people in the village still take the ox cart back and forth.

Gu Lan thought in his heart, this Uncle Zhao is still quite flexible, and he also has to use ox carts to catch the market, and by the way, he can make money by piggybacking some people, killing two birds with one stone.

Although the money is not much, it is an income accumulated in a year.

There are all women in the car, so naturally they will talk about some short words of the parents, whose sow has given birth and how many have it? Who's family lost the old hen a few days ago and scolded in the village for a long time...... and so on, a series of complicated little things can be said for a long time.

There were a few spicy sisters-in-law in the car, telling some meat jokes between men, talking about wonderful things, and laughing back and forth. There is also a man in the car, Uncle Zhao, who is not shy about it.

Gu Landu's face turned red when he heard this, and he secretly glanced at Uncle Zhao, and saw Uncle Zhao holding a dry tobacco pipe in his mouth, driving the ox cart unhurriedly. It can be seen that I am used to it.

Finally arrived at the market, and the people in the car got out of the car one after another, and after saying hello, they went about their own business.

Gu Lan helped Li Yan get out of the ox cart, and as soon as he landed, he heard a bitter voice sound, "Oops! Isn't this a sibling? The second brother is still lying in bed, and the younger brother and sister have the leisure to dress up and come to this market to be coquettish, and they are not afraid of being scolded by others. ”

As soon as Gu Lan heard it, he knew that it was Chen Zhilan's voice, and he saw that she hadn't found ballast in the ox cart before, and he thought that he could finally settle down. Didn't expect to wait here?

Every time they meet, she doesn't give up without sarcastically saying a few words about Li Yanpin.

"Oh! It's the second aunt! It seems that the second aunt is more coquettish than my mother, so who is the second aunt trying to seduc? Gu Lan didn't think about it, so he went back.

Indeed, Li Yanpin only wears plain clothes and light makeup, while Chen Zhilan has heavy makeup and bright dresses.

The comparison between the two is clear at a glance.

The onlookers all looked at Chen Zhilan with disdain. She shouted too loudly just now, and many people had already gathered around to watch the excitement.

Chen Zhilan was trembling with anger by Gu Lan's words, but she didn't expect that the sarcasm would not succeed, and she would make a fuss.

You, you little, how do you talk to your elders?" Chen Zhilan was extremely angry, and raised his hand to hit Gu Lan.

Gu Lan didn't plan to endure it anymore, he took a staggered step, raised his foot and kicked at Chen Zhilan's leg, although this body was thin, Gu Lan's modern body skills were still there, and this kick still had some strength.

Chen Zhilan and Gu Chunhua are really not a mother and daughter, and after a few words of discord, they began to do it. In the past, the original owner was slapped by Chen Zhilan, but because Chen Zhilan was an elder, he couldn't fight back and didn't dare to fight back.

Gu Lan is a person who has traveled over, and he has no family affection for Chen Zhilan? She was also fed up with the rudeness of the big house. How can you manage so much? I returned it right away.

"Little, dare to kick the old lady, see how the old lady cleans you up today?" Chen Zhilan hugged the leg that was kicked and hurt, screamed, and pounced on Gu Lan again

It's just that before she pounced in front of Gu Lan, she was blocked by Li Yanpin, "Sister, Mingzhu is not sensible, what do you care about with her child?" If we make noise in this market, if we let the lord and wife know, we will be punished for the reputation of the third child. ”

"But that little slut kicked me, so that's it?" Chen Zhilan listened to Li Yanpin's words, and her heart was a little shaken, if it really affected the reputation of the third child, Master Gu would definitely not spare him.

But let Gu Lan go like this, she was a little unwilling.

Gu Lan looked at her coldly and didn't say anything. She knew that it would not be good for her reputation to make a big fuss in the bazaar.

"Sister Chen, when you are older, don't worry about children. This market is full of people, don't let people laugh at it. ”

Uncle Zhao had just set up the ox cart, and he saw the scene in front of him, after all, it was from a village, and he came by his ox cart, so he naturally didn't want the two parties to fight each other, so he hurriedly stepped forward to be a peacemaker.

At this time, the sky has been brightened, today is a hot set, people come and go, see that there is a lively to see here, naturally do not want to miss, after a while, it is three circles inside and three circles outside the three circles are crowded with people.

Chen Zhilan also knew that she would not be able to get good if she continued to make trouble, so she got off the donkey down the slope, scolded a few words angrily, and left.

Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the crowd dispersed again, and went to do their own things.

Uncle Zhao turned his head to Li Yanpin and said, "Your sister is a nonsense, what are you doing with her?" Just ignore her. ”

"Yes, that's what Brother Zhao said." Li Yanpin replied respectfully.
