Listening to Zhou Liniang's concerned greetings and looking at some of the herbs she brought, Gu Bainiang even felt that she might be a villain.

Of course, there are people in this world who help and don't help relatives, but Zhou Liniang will be this kind of person?

"By the way, Eighteen Niang, in a few days it will be the big medicine meeting in Hezhong County, do you know?"

After chatting, Zhou Liniang suddenly said, which shocked Gu Bainiang's spirits.

"I heard." She nodded and replied, her eyes falling on Zhou Liniang's face.

After all, she was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and her emotions were still exposed, and the eagerness in her eyes was particularly obvious.

"Are you going or not?" Zhou Liniang asked hurriedly.

Gu Bainiang looked at her, a little puzzled in her heart, more curious, it seems that there is more than one person who wants to go to the big medicine club by herself.

"I'm not going," she said, "I'm going to collect medicine... Besides, what am I going to do there. ”

"Oh, it's lively there, a lot of pharmacists and pharmacists will come, Eighteen Niang, your medicine is so good..."A trace of disappointment flashed on Zhou Liniang's face, and then sat down next to her and said sincerely, ".. Let more people know that your medicine is not better to sell? Naturally, the money you make will be more... Let's take a look, let's go see..."

She shook Gu Banniang's arm affectionately, "I'll go too, my father said let me also learn medicine.....

"Your dad asked you to learn medicine?" Gu Bainiang was really a little surprised, looking at Zhou Liniang.

Zhou Liniang seemed a little embarrassed, after all, a girl learning this is a bit self-defeating, and she can't get along and has to support her family.....

But now in front of this girl who needs to support her family and surrenders her identity, she still uses this to get closer to the relationship.

"yes.." Zhou Liniang nodded, "Eighteen Niang... Although I grew up in a pharmacy, I don't know as much as you, so you can go with me..."

Her voice was a little coquettish, and her original humble words were a bit of a show-off and a little bit of sarcasm.

Gu Banniang remained silent, and she didn't seem to be able to hear it.

“.. But...Eighteen Niang, do you think it's a loss of identity to go to that kind of place? Zhou Liniang's eyes rolled, and she said in a low voice, then sighed again and nodded, "Exactly, that kind of place is all merchants like us, and officials like you shouldn't go.....

Gu Banniang couldn't help but smile.

"Eighteen Niang, do you look down on me?" Zhou Liniang showed a hint of timidity and loss on her face because of her smile, stretched out her hand and shook her arm, and said softly.

Her demeanor is very intimate, it seems that they are friends who have played since they were children and have a quarrel with their youngest daughter, and for a moment Gu Bainiang also thinks so, and her heart is a little gloomy.

If they really did this, how good would it be, why should people have festivals with each other?

Gu Bainiang even had some impulses, wanting to talk to her frankly and unfairly, they actually didn't have any hatred for each other.

"Can't you really come with me?" Zhou Liniang couldn't help but feel a little impatient when she couldn't get her answer, this girl just wanted to make money, maybe she really insisted on going up the mountain to collect medicine instead of going to the big medicine fair, so how could the drama they arranged?

Looking at the eagerness that Zhou Liniang couldn't hide in her eyes, Gu Bainiang's heart was cold, and her mind returned to clarity.

"Alright then, I'll go." She nodded.

Sending away Zhou Liniang, who was smiling, Gu Bainiang also had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and now this time the big medicine meeting, even if someone wants to stop her, she can't be stopped.

Go, she must go, she must see, what they are going to do with her, and she also wants to know what her little down-and-out daughter can have to calculate for them.

In the next few days, Gu Bainiang began to concoct all scorpions, after all, she only watched it a few times "back then", and when it came to specific operations, there were all kinds of details to pay attention to, and when Gu Hai noticed what his mother and sister were busy with, the dried scorpions on the stove were already three or four catties.

"Actually, I caught more scorpions than this, but I didn't make it, and it was at least ten catties..."

"Eighteen Niang, what do you think of this time?" Cao picked up a dried scorpion from the stove and handed it to Gu Banniang.

Gu Hai almost fainted, not to mention these insects and snakes, ordinary women were scared when they saw it, even when he saw so many in front of him at this time, he also felt numb in his heart.

Cao Shi is actually afraid, she has lived for almost thirty years, and it is the first time to catch scorpions and cook scorpions, this kind of thing has never been dreamed of before, but as a mother, she can't show this in front of her daughter, as long as she is in one day, she will stand in front of her daughter, and she will be the first to taste the bitter soup of poison and fire in the sword mountain.

Gu Bainiang looked at the scorpion handed by her slightly trembling hand, lowered her head to hide the red circles under her eyes, in her previous life, she not only hid behind her family, but also hid in her own world, if it wasn't for the rework this time, she didn't know that the weak and almost incompetent mother in her original impression could be so bold.

The person is still the same person, and the environment is still the same environment, but in her eyes, everything is different from the impression.

She raised her head, took the scorpion and looked at it, then put it in her mouth and tasted it, Gu Hai on the side only felt her heart churning.

"Well, this time it's the same as the color and taste of the fire, and there are no impurities...."Gu Banniang said, seeing Gu Hai's face, she couldn't help but smile.

Back then, when I watched the concoction master do this, I couldn't compare to my brother's concentration, and at that time, I bent over and vomited.

"Whether it's good or not, I'll find out when the time comes." She clapped her hands and said.

It's just that I don't know if there will be a chance to meet the famous Master Dong at that time.

On the first day of August, it was cloudy, and there was no scorching sun, everyone felt refreshed, and Cao sent his son and daughter out of the house, not forgetting to stuff each of them with an umbrella.

"Brother Hai, remember to have lunch....."

"Eighteen Niang, give you money....."

Gu Banniang shook her head, "No, I don't need money..."

"There will be a lot of people at the meeting, buy some if you like...."Cao said with some sadness, since she recovered from her illness, her daughter not only did not take care of her body well, but worked hard day and night, and people saw that she had lost a lot of weight.

Gu Banniang shook her head, she is not a child, what are those pastime things bought for? What is the use of it except for wasting money.

Cao sighed, she has also figured out her daughter's temper these days, that is, one is one, and she is very stubborn.

She didn't insist, she took the money back, and when the time came, she would buy it for her daughter, and she had already thought about it, this time she sold firewood, and she must cut a little meat to make up for her son and daughter.

While the mother and daughter of the Gu family were talking, the shopkeeper Zhou in the Qianjin Hall was impatiently waiting for his daughter to freshen up and go out.

"Let's see, why hasn't Miss come out yet? An hour has passed." Shopkeeper Zhou said a little impatiently.

A little girl was busy responding, Zhou Liniang came in at this time, she was obviously carefully dressed, holding the sideburns of ingots, inserting beaded flowers, wearing a newly made emerald green shirt, cardamom is in her prime, bright and lovely.
