The wrong marriage: the arrogant husband comes to farm

Chapter 139 It's Not Intention

However, Mrs. Nan always felt that going up and down was not very reliable. If that person missed her appointment tomorrow, then Nan Chengyan's life would be in danger. However, all the property in her hands was no more than 2000 taels of silver at most. The original intention was that 3000 taels of silver would never be sold, but the people in the city shook their heads when they heard that, no matter how much it was, it was only at the price of 2000 taels.Although Mrs. Nan still has some dowry gold and silver ornaments in her hands that can be used to pay for some silver taels, but compared to it, it is a drop in the bucket. Even though she sold it for 500 taels, she still felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, Nan Chengyan walked towards the lobby on crutches again, looked at Mrs. Nan with a deep expression and asked, "Then Liu Hu can make a bid to buy Shitouji?"

"Yan'er, it's important for you to take good care of your health. Why do you care about these things?" Mrs. Nan looked distressed, and helped her son to sit on the padded chair. Seeing that Nan Chengyan insisted on asking, she sighed He said in a tone: "The shopkeeper Liu just paid 50 taels as a deposit first, and the specific transaction will have to wait until tomorrow. Don't worry, mother will never let those people take you away!"

"Mother, I've been thinking for the past two days why those people suddenly came up with an IOU with my signature on it. I just realized today that my son was framed!" Nan Chengyan's face suddenly fell, "At the beginning, my son The beating was instigated by this person, so he went to Hutouzhuang to gamble with others. The son wanted to earn back the money with interest before borrowing money from the people in the gambling shop. Someone chased the debt to the house. I didn't expect this person to have the face to make a deal with us today, but I want to see what he can do if we don't give him the stone!"

"Then you just said that that person helped you today, so mother agreed to sell the stone record to him, why do you go back on it now?" Mrs. Nan raised her eyebrows, but saw her son leaning over with a smile on her face Whisper a few words in the ear.

For several days in a row, Nan Cheng Mo always felt restless and inexplicably flustered, but when he looked around the whole courtyard, he saw that the seedlings were neatly arranged and everything was in order, and the courtyard door was tightly closed, and there was no abnormality.

Although a small green snake appeared at the gate of the courtyard two days ago, causing Qin Mengyao to scream, the rest of the time inside and outside the courtyard was surprisingly quiet, but the more quiet it was, the more uneasy Nancheng felt, and besides, he stayed at home every day Even if he had nothing to do, he would get sick from boredom, so he pretended to be bored and picked up those flowers and plants with Qin Mengyao.

The rose seedlings moved from Shita Village have long adapted to the environment here, the temperature is mild and suitable, and they are constantly jumping up the poles at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye every day. Qin Mengyao is happy to see it and naturally cares a lot. For some unknown reason, the buds and buds formed ahead of time, and there were signs of opening steadily at the tips, which really surprised Qin Mengyao.

It has been more than half a month since Fang Yuan and Aunt Li came together last time, and under the guidance of Qin Mengyao, the three people in the courtyard tended the flower seedlings during the day, and opened a vegetable bed in the corner to grow some vegetables and beans that they eat every day Watering and fertilizing are all time-consuming physical tasks, so I don’t feel too leisurely. At night, I listen to Liu Ma telling some fairy tales handed down by the older generation, and 20 days have passed in a flash.

However, Qin Mengyao was secretly worried. The April snow that was full of trees should have withered long ago, but during this period of time, she never got the flowers picked by Liu Laoer, and naturally she had no raw materials to extract essential oils. Shita Village was far away, even if she wanted to go to fetch flowers, she was afraid that she would encounter wild wolves on the road and would not be able to return, so she could only worry about it alone, and after a few days, an ulcer developed on the corner of her mouth.

Although Nan Chengmo knew that Qin Mengyao had something on his mind, he didn't know it for a while, so he simply didn't ask, and lived day by day.

Suddenly one day, there was a knocking sound at the door. Nan Chengmo was instructed by Fang Yuan not to open the door easily. He only looked through the crack of the door, but he was a tall and thick strange man, pulling an ox cart behind him. Nan Cheng Mo Xinsheng hesitated and worried that the other party was someone sent by Nanfu, so he stood behind the door and did not answer.

And Qin Mengyao and Liu Ma have been busy for most of the day. At the moment, they are drinking tea, resting and chatting in the room. Cheng Mo didn't know when he was already leaning on the wall with two big flower pots, and holding a long wooden pole like a pole in his hand.

"What are you doing, come down quickly!" Qin Mengyao was furious when he saw that his beloved potted plant was being used as a stepping stone. He pulled it back, and pointing at the door meaningfully with a twist of the corner of his mouth.Mama Liu has lived in Nan's house for many years, and her experience is naturally different from ordinary people. Qin Mengyao calmed down, walked to the door quietly, glanced through the crack of the door, and immediately smiled.

With a "squeak", the door opened wide.This action frightened Nan Cheng Mo so that he fell from the flowerpot directly, and hit the center of his forehead with the pole without crookedness, and immediately a straight red mark was reflected in the center of his face.

"Oh, Mrs. Nan, it's really hard to find your place. I searched here for several days before I found it," the visitor immediately rubbed his hands happily when he saw Qin Mengyao, turned around and got out of the bullock cart behind him. Move down two big sacks.

"Second Uncle, you have worked hard all the way. Come in and take a rest. Mama Liu, please make a pot of hot tea and prepare some food. Second Uncle must be exhausted from Shita Village," Qin Mengyao hurriedly told Liu Lao The second man walked into the room, ignoring Nan Chengmo who was lying on the ground moaning at the moment, Liu Laoer smiled honestly, and carried a sack directly to the courtyard in one hand.

"These are some flowers I picked these days. I don't think anyone has come to pick them up. I put them in the bag for fear of mold and delaying Mrs. Nan's affairs, so I asked Zhong'er and his mother to find them. It's really too big here." But, Zhong'er's mother only remembers the general location, but can't tell where it is, so I found it bit by bit, and I didn't expect to find it." Liu Laoer was obviously very excited this time, and he was very reticent at first. The person in question made such a big conversation all of a sudden, and they were completely different from Qin Mengyao when they met for the first time.

"Why did you come here today, Uncle Liu, by yourself, why didn't Aunt Li come with you?"

"Hey, she came with her the first day, but she couldn't find a place after walking all day. Instead, she was tired and caught the wind and cold, so I found it by myself." Liu Lao Er sighed slightly after speaking, and continued. : "I didn't expect Nan Niangzi to leave Shita Village so soon. I thought Nan Niangzi would not count what she said, but Zhong'er's mother said that Nan Niangzi kept her word, so I insisted on picking flowers every day...Thanks Mistress Nan, my baby is only able to enter the school," said Liu Lao Er, who was about to kneel on the ground, but was grabbed by Qin Mengyao.

"I can't help it, Second Uncle, aren't you killing me?" Qin Mengyao pushed Liu Laoer on the chair, but he was slightly puzzled, and found out that the last time Fangyuan went to Shita Village to settle the settlement in advance The wages of the two were even several times higher than what Qin Mengyao promised to give, no wonder Liu Lao Er was so grateful and excited.

After leaving Liu Lao Er for lunch and sending him away, Qin Mengyao opened the two sacks erected in the courtyard, only to see that they were densely packed with flowers of April Xue, but unfortunately one of the sacks was stored for too long. Most of them had emitted a rotten smell, which made Qin Mengyao regretful. Fortunately, there was still more than half of one bag available. Qin Mengyao counted, although the number was much smaller, it was almost enough to collect two and a half vials.

So they picked out most of them and lit a fire in the courtyard. Seeing this, Nan Chengmo recalled how she and Aunt Li had a big fireworks display in Shita Village, and couldn't help hiding in the room with her head covered, but Mama Liu became interested. Followed Qin Mengyao's instructions to continue the fire and boil water, and asked questions, which was similar to Aunt Li's situation that day.

In more than half a day, he collected another porcelain basin full of condensed water. However, Qin Mengyao realized at this time that he only had one porcelain bottle left, and some essential oils had been collected in it. Although the amount extracted today is not bad, But since there is no porcelain bottle to place, wouldn't it be a waste.Barely filling the porcelain bottle, Qin Mengyao could vaguely see a small amount of oil floating on the transparent liquid. Qin Mengyao felt distressed for a while. After finally refining the essential oil, he could only waste it in vain. The heart is more like being twisted by a knife.

Although some clear water and pure dew were inevitably mixed into the porcelain bottle during the process of collecting the oily fragrance, it was already rare for Qin Mengyao to extract such purity under these conditions. Pour it out and collect it again, not to mention that the aromatic substance is extremely volatile, even if you collect it yourself, it is difficult to guarantee that you can get a whole bottle of essential oil again, so after comprehensive consideration, you can only give up the small one and take care of the big one. Those, had to let it evaporate.

Although Mama Liu never lacked rouge dew in Nanfu, it was the first time she had seen the flower water extracted from flowers with her own eyes, so she lay down beside the basin and smelled it curiously, and an elegant fragrance came to her nostrils. It is no different from the fragrance of flowers, even if she is well-informed, she can't help being amazed.Seeing that Qin Mengyao fetched a small white porcelain bottle and collected the perfume directly into the bottle, his eyes widened even more.

But before Mama Liu recovered from her surprise, Qin Mengyao gently stroked the surface of the water with her fingers, and then daubed it behind Mama Liu's ears and on her wrists, and Mama Liu felt a refreshing feeling in an instant. It penetrates the skin, and when you lower your head to smell it, even your hands have a faint fragrance.

"Mengyao, what is this? Why is it so fragrant? It's the first time I've smelled it at such an advanced age. The rouge ointment I used before always felt that the fragrance was too strong and gave me headaches. I didn't expect this fragrance to smell so good. ," Mama Liu happily held her wrist and sniffed it again and again.

"This is the essence extracted from flowers. If you think it smells good, I will give you a bottle when I make it again." Qin Mengyao saw that Liu Ma was so happy, and brought a clean clay pot with a smile. Pour all the remaining pure dew into the jar, cover it and put it in front of Mama Liu, "Mama Liu, this water has beauty benefits, you can take it and apply it to your face every day, it is guaranteed that you will be five or six years younger in a few months." !"
