There was a loud bang.

Liu Shengyuan's forehead was broken and he fell to the ground.

The blood was flowing, and it didn't take long for him to gradually recover from the dizziness. He lay on the ground and looked up at the top of the tree.

I saw a very large hornet's nest on the top of the tree. ?.?????.???

The hornet's nest was shaken by the impact he had just made, and fell directly onto his chest.

Liu Shengyuan was stunned. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was open. He was so shocked that he couldn't move for a while.

Until the wasps poked their heads out one by one.

"ah!"

Liu Shengyuan pushed away the hornet's nest on his chest, screamed and got up, running forward like crazy.

This time, he did not return to the big tree and ran all the way towards Chengyang County.

However, a swarm of thousands of hornets followed behind.

The hornets surrounded him and pricked his head, butt, and neck.

The pain made Yagyu Shengyuan stomp his feet, and his screams could be heard on the originally quiet path.

If anyone heard it, they would definitely get goosebumps.

The hornet stung Liu Shengyuan all the way.

When he returned to Mo's house, his whole face turned into a big pig's head, and he fell on the threshold of Mo's house in pain.

Early the next morning, Du Wanchun followed Zhou Feng and Zhang Qiuhe back to the shop.

Zhang Qiuhe opened the door of the shop, counted the incense in the shop, and then prepared to do business.

There have always been many women doing business in Cheng'an County. For example, in the teahouse next door, the proprietress Xu Niang is also a woman, and the shopkeeper Li of the jewelry shop on the street is also a woman.

Xu Shi, because they were both women, sympathized with each other, took great care of Du Wanchun's business, and felt very sorry for a poor woman like Zhang Qiuhe.

No, when Madam Xu from the teahouse saw Zhou Jiaxiang Shop opening, she immediately handed two big meat buns to Zhang Qiuhe, "Sister Qiuhe, come here, give this to little Yao'er."

Zhang Qiuhe quickly declined and said, "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Xu. Our youngest son and I have had breakfast."

Xu Niang knew that she was being polite, so she directly stuffed the bun into her hand and said with a smile: "After you have eaten, you must eat more. Look at you and Yao'er being so skinny!"

After saying that, he didn't forget to say hello to Du Wanchun in the shop, "Sister Wanchun, are you still feeling happy lately?"

Du Wanchun came over and said, "No, I can eat anything these days."

Xu Niang looked at her belly, which had not yet bulged, with eyes filled with anticipation, "That's good, you have to take good care of yourself. I made a bet with Shopkeeper Li."

"A bet? What bet?" Zhang Qiuhe asked quickly.

Xu Niang was wearing orange-red clothes and smiled brightly. "I'll bet ten taels of silver that the child in Wanchun's belly will be a boy."

As she spoke, she glanced at the jewelry store nearby, "Shopkeeper Li offered me 20 taels to bet that the baby in her belly is a girl! If it's a girl, I have to give 40 taels to Shopkeeper Li. If it's a boy, Shopkeeper Li has to give me 40 taels." I’m twenty taels.”

Zhang Qiuhe understood now, "Shopkeeper Xu, how can you be so sure that the baby in Sister Du's belly is a boy?"

As she spoke, she looked towards Du Wanchun beside her.

Xu Niang fanned the fan in her hand and said with a smile: "This is not easy, you are sour and spicy!"

Zhang Qiuhe suddenly realized, "Yes, when I was pregnant with my daughter, I also liked to eat sour food."

Du Wanchun laughed quickly and said: "This doesn't seem to be accurate. I heard my mother said that she liked spicy food when she was pregnant with my husband-in-law!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu almost hesitated, but she quickly said firmly: "No, it must be a boy. I still won't change it."

Zhang Qiuhe chatted with them, his face was obviously much better, and he smiled and said: "Don't worry, sister Du will give birth in a few months. We won't know after she gives birth."

Xu Niang waved the fan in her hand, "That's right, then we will wait patiently."

After she finished speaking, she did not forget to reach out and touch Du Wanchun's belly through her clothes.

Du Wanchun looked down, his eyebrows curved, saying, as long as the child is healthy, it doesn't matter whether it is a boy or a girl.

Xu Niang turned around and said goodbye to them, returned to her shop, and was ready to open the door for business.

Not long after this lady left, the first customer came to the Zhou family shop.

The customer, with a bulging belly, slowly walked towards the shelves where the fragrant pills were stacked, "Shopkeeper, can you use the fragrant pills for pregnant women?"

"It's available, it's available. Our shopkeeper is also pregnant, so the incense made in the shop will not harm the fetus." Zhang Qiuhe explained while looking towards the visitor.

I saw that this pregnant woman happened to be the woman who came with Liu Shengyuan that day, the second young lady of General Mo's family.
