The next day, Aunt Sang went to Xuanmiaoguan to deliver bath beans, and then went to find her nephew and daughter-in-law.

Aunt Sang's nephew and daughter-in-law, Zhou, had just come back from washing her clothes and was drying clothes in the yard.

Aunt Sang looked at the yard, cleaned it up, nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "What about the two children?" ”

"The eldest took his sister to set up a stall in Xuanmiaoguan, and he sold some fruits, cakes and so on."

Zhou poured a bowl of water, and just wanted to put some sugar in it, but was stopped by Aunt Sang: "Don't put those Laoshzi things, I'm thirsty, just give me some white water." ”

Zhou brought white water over and said a little sneeringly: "There is not even tea foam at home." ”

In fact, there is only a little bit of sugar, and the family never dares to eat it, it is a hospitality thing.

"You, the man has been gone for three years, and you have no intention of remarrying, so it's good to keep the child to live like this."

In fact, Zhou's was stronger than Aunt Sang's at the beginning, and she stayed up for a few years and relaxed when the child was older.

Afterwards, Aunt Sang put the wrapped bath beans on the table, and the dark brown bath beans gave off a good fragrance.

"What is this?" Zhou Shi picked up one in surprise and looked at it, she naturally recognized it as a bath bean, which was sold in the grocery store in the town, saying that it was something from the county seat, but it was very expensive, she had seen it but had never used it.

"The girl in my family gave it to me, and she said that she could give it away or use it for herself." Aunt Sang smiled a little proudly, it is not easy to meet such a master when she goes out to help, if it weren't for Qin Xun's mother and daughter giving her something from time to time to supplement her nephew and daughter-in-law, the life of the mother and son has not been so easy in the past few years.

Although the Qin family had a difficult time because of Qin Coward's illness, it was much better than many others.

"Auntie, you can use it yourself, isn't it a waste of good things to give it to me? Besides, your nephew is gone, and I'm still making it smelly, which is going to be poked in the back. ”

Rumors can really kill people, and even Qin Coriander was said to have to marry his relatives hastily. And Aunt Sang has experienced it, so she naturally knows how difficult it is for widows.

"You're a dead eye, too." Aunt Sang glared at her nephew and daughter-in-law, and said patiently: "The next time you catch the market, you let the kid take it to Fulin Town and sell it, this is a good thing, I saw the girl add a lot of spices, I smell much stronger than what is sold in the shop, do you smell it, is it fragrant?" ”

As long as it was said that Qin Coriander was talking, Aunt Sang had a smug light in her eyes, and Zhou leaned over to smell it good-naturedly, nodding and saying that it was really fragrant, and Aunt Sang smiled contentedly.

Then, she said: "I came to discuss something with you today, that is, my girl is going to get married, and there is no maid by her side, if I follow her, what will my wife do?" ”

Zhou blinked and didn't understand what Aunt Sang meant.

"What I mean, if you are willing, send Lian'er to follow the girl, the girl is a learned person, everything is very good, Lian'er can learn something with her, let's not talk about how much salary, at least you can eat and dress warmly."

Zhou lowered her head and didn't speak, Aunt Sang knew that she was reluctant, and persuaded again: "Lian'er is ten years old, even if you stay, you can't stay for a few years, it's better to let her learn something from the girl, and she can marry a better family in the future." ”

"Auntie, I'll ask Lian'er later, if she doesn't want to, I'm afraid she will hate me." Zhou's eyes were red, and the family couldn't sustain her by doing some purses and sewing and mending at all, but fortunately, her aunt made up some silver money every month, and her son was also obedient, looking for money outside every day, and wanted to be a pillar at a young age.

Aunt Sang nodded and said, "This is my idea, I haven't told my wife yet, but last night, my wife talked to me, saying that she wanted to buy a girl for the girl, and I remembered our Lian'er." ”

"I understand my aunt's kindness, so my aunt is waiting for my news." Zhou still insisted on asking his daughter if she was willing?

Aunt Sang was not unhappy, and hurriedly said a few more words.

It was already a little late when Aunt Sang bought vegetables and came home, so she hurriedly went into the kitchen to cook, and Su Shi also came in to help.

The Su family never put out his wife's score, and the work at home is done with Aunt Sang, and the two talk together, and time passes faster.

Aunt Sang told Su about Lian'er, and Su hesitated: "It's only ten years old, isn't it a little younger?" ”

"It's a little smaller, but it's very capable, and her temperament is like her mother, soft as dough." Aunt Sang's speech does not affect the work in her hands, and she is very neat.

"Otherwise, I'll go talk to Xun'er and see what she means!" Su Shi is not a person who can call the shots, so he simply went to Qin Xun.

Qin Coriander was busy making incense in the backyard.

She made balls from more than a dozen kinds of incense powders such as agarwood, musk, and white sandalwood together with refining honey.

Su Shi came in, looked at the sycamore-sized balls with some surprise, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"This is a ten-incense pill, washing your face in the morning and evening can make your skin smooth, and you can have a fragrance all day long without bringing sachets or powder." Qin Xun said with a smile: "When the time comes, my mother will take some and use it, my mother will definitely like it." ”

"Well, I'm going to see how good it works." Su Shi smiled and agreed.

After asking how to do it, I also sat down to help, and then told the little girl about it.

Qin Xun thought for a while and said, "Aunt Sang wants to help her nephew and daughter-in-law, our family is indeed short of people, so it is better to call Lian'er to the house to work with Aunt Sang, and hire like Aunt Sang." As for my girl, let's go buy one, fifteen or fifteen years old. ”

Qin Xun didn't expect to get a heartfelt, but at least a more reassuring person to stay by his side.

"Well, I also think Lian'er is too small." Su Shi nodded, and said, "I'll go out to ask in the afternoon, this may not be suitable." ”

Qin Coward's dowry had been prepared a few years earlier, and it was not much worse; Even the wedding dress has been entrusted to the town to embroider the building, but the money to be paid when I go to pick it up has not yet been paid.

Seeing that Su Shi frowned, Qin Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, after these ten incense pills are ready, ask someone to send them to the county seat to sell them to the incense shop or fat powder shop, and you can get back a sum of silver." Wouldn't it be more convenient to buy a girl in the county seat when the time comes? ”

"This Ten Incense Pill is so valuable?" Su Shi looked at the balls in front of him in disbelief.

"Of course, you may not be able to get all the spices in it, but these are all good things that Mr. has accumulated over the years."

When the money comes back to solve the family's urgent needs, Qin Xun will be able to spare time to collect the shop.

After experiencing too much, she understands a truth: things are urgent, urgency is easy to cause chaos, and chaos leads to sadness. Do it slowly, one thing at a time, and don't rush.

In the afternoon, Xiao Chenyu came again, he came to give the money from selling bath beans in the morning.

Qin Xun saw that it was more than double the amount of money set before, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Xiao Chenyu smiled lightly, but in fact, he was quite proud: "I enshrined the bath beans in front of the ancestor of the Sanqing Hall for an hour, shouldn't this fragrant bath beans be sold at double the price?" Sure enough, as soon as it came out, it was asked for by several girls who came to Shangxiang to play. ”

Girl?

Qin Xun was a little speechless, these girls are so generous, is it because of Xiao Chenyu's polite appearance or because of the reason that the bath beans have been worshipped?

A bath bean walks around the Sanqing Palace, and its value doubles?

Qin Xun divided the silver into two and gave half of it to Xiao Chenyu: "This is what you deserve, and now you want to prepare for marriage, you should also need it." ”

"It's really in urgent need of money, so I won't shirk it."

Seeing that Xiao Chenyu quickly put away the silver, Qin Xun felt that it was quite easy to talk to this person.

Then, he took out the ten incense pills he made today, put a large box of ten incense pills in front of Xiao Chenyu, and said, "I want to trouble you to help me send them to the county to sell, if you can, can you help me buy a maid?" ”

Xiao Chenyu looked at the Ten Incense Pill and pondered for a moment and said, "I can sell things, but I may not be able to look at people." ”

Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Qin Xun and made an invitation: "Or, Ming'er, you will go to the county seat with me?" ”
