When Du Wanchun saw Liu Lanzhi, he was a little surprised, then recovered and smiled: "This incense shop is run by my family, so of course I am here."
Liu Lanzhi opened her eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief, "You said this shop was opened by your family? How is that possible? Your husband's family is extremely poor. How is it possible that there is still money to open a shop?"
Du Wanchun didn't want to explain too much to her, so he ignored her and asked Mrs. Li on the side: "Madam, do you still want to buy fragrance today?"
Mrs. Li pushed Liu Lanzhi away with a look of disgust, walked into the shop, looked at the incense on the shelf, and said, "The sandalwood tower incense you gave me that day was pretty good. I'll buy another box."
Du Wanchun smiled quickly and went to the shelf to get a small wooden box and handed it to Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li took it in her hand, opened it and looked at it, then asked her, "How much is this box of incense?"
Du Wanchun smiled slowly and said: "Madam, each of the pagoda incense we incense costs seventy cents, and this box contains fifteen pieces, which is about one tael of silver and fifty cents. Forget the fifty cents, give me one tael Just silver."
Mrs. Li nodded lightly and slowly closed the box, "Yes, I bought it."
After saying that, he asked the maid next to him to take out a tael of silver and give it to Du Wanchun.
Du Wanchun smiled and took it in his hand, turned around and gave Zhou Feng the account. ?.?????.???
Although Mrs. Li looked down on Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou at first, the Taxiang that Du Wanchun sold to her last time was really useful. County Magistrate Li, who usually suffered from headaches, felt refreshed after using it. She praised him repeatedly.
This made her convinced from the bottom of her heart, so when she saw Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou again, her whole person was different, and her attitude was much gentler than usual.
When she looked at her daughter-in-law, she even wondered if what the fortune teller said was true. Could this child really be a lucky star?
Unfortunately, Mrs. Li didn't quite believe in these rumors about ghosts and gods. After putting away the incense, she turned around and left the shop.
Liu Lanzhi stood outside the door, still looking horrified. She never thought that the stupid step-sister in front of her, whom she had bullied since childhood, could start a business with such ease, and earn a tael of silver from a box of tower incense.
This is more than her monthly salary in Li Mansion for a month.
Liu Lanzhi was suddenly filled with jealousy, especially when she saw Du Wanchun's smiling face, she became even more angry.
She was obviously the one who married into Magistrate Li's family, and it was also she who flew up the branch and turned into a phoenix.
How could she live better than herself?
Liu Lanzhi seemed to be trapped in an endless loop, hating everything about Du Wanchun, and her teeth were chattering unknowingly.
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Mrs. Li turned around and yelled at her: "Come here quickly!"
Liu Lanzhi was startled by her shout, and everything in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
When Mrs. Li saw it, her face was filled with anger. She quickly ran over, pointed at her forehead, and cursed angrily: "You can't even pick up anything. It's such a useless thing! Look at the Zhou family. Wife, I’m not better than you in any way!”
Du Wanchun heard the sound and looked towards the door, only to see Liu Lanzhi being scolded by Mrs. Li, standing outside the door with her head lowered and a pale face, not daring to say a word.
Mrs. Li got more and more angry as she scolded her. She completely forgot about her identity as the county magistrate's wife. She pinched her ears and yanked her, "Why don't you pick up the things on the ground? Don't embarrass me here!"
Liu Lanzhi let out a cry of pain, glanced at Du Wanchun, then gritted her teeth, turned her face away in a hurry, and picked up the things on the ground in a panic.
Du Wanchun sighed as he looked at her. Fortunately, she didn't marry into the Li family, otherwise she would be the one standing on the street being scolded today.
She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Zhou on the side also saw what happened outside, stepped forward to hold her hand, and whispered to comfort her: "Let's go home."
"Yeah." Du Wanchun raised his eyes and responded with a smile.
Zhou Ruiyuan happened to have brought the carriage back at this time, strode forward and took his wife's hand, carefully helped her onto the carriage, then turned around and helped Aunt Zhou up as well.
Zhou Zhao sat in front, holding the reins of the carriage, and slowly drove the carriage.
After returning to Changliu Village, they returned the carriage to the Wang family at the village gate, and also gave them some copper coins.
The family then returned home to light a fire and cook.
Du Wanchun was washing vegetables, Aunt Zhou was cooking, Zhou Ruiyuan was making a fire, and Zhou Zhao was feeding chickens in the back yard.
The family was busy until dusk, and finally had a delicious dinner.
In Magistrate Li's Mansion in Cheng'an County, although Liu Lanzhi does not have to cook, she is responsible for serving the dishes.
Magistrate Li and Mrs. Li were sitting at the dinner table eating, and she had to stand beside them with chopsticks to pick up their food.
Let her pick up whatever she wants to eat.
Liu Lanzhi was hungry and drooled as she looked at the dishes on the table.
Young Master Li didn't care about this matter, and said while eating: "Mom, how is the concubine thing going? If it's later, the girl's belly will get bigger."
