Chapter 105 Fire

"Get out of here! Get out of here! Get out! Get out of here!" The lady suddenly cursed hoarsely. While scolding, she got up and picked up Zhou Ke's clothes. She rushed out of the door barefoot, pointed to the door and shouted at Zhou Ke, "Get out of here. I don't want to see you in my life! Get out of here!"

Zhou Ke was stunned, but then he grabbed Zhou Ke's hair with one hand. The little man was furious and pointed to Zhou Ke's nose and scolded, "My aunt asked you to get out of here. Why don't you get out of here?" Do you still want to stay here for dinner? You old boy, I think you are impatient!" After saying that, the little guy slapped Zhou Ke twice, pulled his hair, and pulled Zhou Ke to the door.

Then, the little guy kicked Zhou Ke's buttocks and kicked him out of the door. Poor Zhou Ke, bare and trembling in autumn mourning.

He touched his clothes tremblingly and quickly tore them and put them on. In a panic, he put on the opposite clothes and the wrong sleeves. It took him half a day to put on his clothes. I looked around and saw that there was no one around, so I quickly found a way out.

In the door, the little guy saw Zhou Ke leaving through the crack of the door. She sneered twice, and by this time, the ugly woman had already changed her clothes. She picked up Zhou Ke's purse and thought about it carefully.

"Fifteen taels of silver!" The girl said happily.

"You take three taels, your sister-in-law three taels. The rest is mine!" The little guy said.

The ugly woman was immediately unhappy and retorted, "We all worked hard. You just pulled people in!"

The little man stretched out his hand to beat him and scolded, "You are nagging me to sell you to the kiln, believe it!"

The ugly woman only whitened her brother's eyes and said nothing.

When Zhou Ke was jumped by a fairy, Fang Shaowen had already led Song Keren to the home of a tea farmer in the suburbs. It's just the next season of autumn tea, and the freshly picked tea leaves are placed all over the yard by tea farmers.

As soon as I entered the yard, a clear fragrance of tea came to my face. In this small yard, the tea with low earth walls is refreshing.

Fang Shaowen took Song Keren to several such tea farmers, and the price of tea was not high at all. However, most of them have been booked by local tea merchants, and few are left.

Fang Shaowen said that if you sell ordinary Longjing tea, you can only earn ten or eight taels of silver at most. In the local area, there is a special incense slice called daughter incense.

Legend has it that on the first dew day when the tea was ripe, a ten-year-old girl went up the mountain with a bamboo basket on her back. They did not wash. After arriving at the mountain, they put the tea into the bamboo basket with their mouths. After going back, make this tea into fragrant slices. When your daughter gets married, it is necessary to dow this kind of incense. And this kind of fragrance can only be enjoyed by the son-in-law of tea farmers.

However, this kind of incense tablet was sold in Lin'an City, and at its highest time, it was once fried to a taels of silver. Although this price is not the highest in its class, this fragrance is very popular and sells better than those teas that are more expensive than its.

"Can't that be fake?" Song Keren asked.

Fang Shaowen smiled and continued to explain, "It is said that the taste of this fragrance is very special. If it's fake, you can smell it at a glance. Think about it, put aside the matter of your daughter's mouth. Generally, the daughters here are married at the age of 16 or 17 and have been aged for six or seven years. Can the taste be compared with ordinary incense?

Song Keyen nodded, and then she thought of another question.

Didn't you say that only their husbands can be blessed to drink this kind of tea? Then it should not be sold, right? Song Keren asked.

Fang Shaowen nodded with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Yes, this is the most troublesome place." He replied.

The tea farmers here have a big gap between the rich and the poor. If you look for poor tea farmers, it is not impossible. Otherwise, this thing would not appear on the tea table of the rich merchants in Beijing Zhaocheng.

Fang Shaowen and Song Keren walked through several tea farmers in a row. Every time they mentioned their daughter's fragrance, these tea farmers immediately showed a repulsive expression on their faces.

The two finally returned without success. According to Fang Shaowen's conservative prediction, the selling price of this thing in the hands of tea farmers is only five taels of silver per catty at most. When you arrive at Jingzhao, you can double it immediately, and you don't have to worry about selling it. It's easier to sell than Longjing tea!

Fang Shaowen saw that the two could not buy his daughter's fragrance from the tea farmer, so he ordered the local attendant to pay attention and find a way to get some. After ordering this matter, the two returned to the inn together.

The little man has sent the cloth back, and Fang Shaowen came to persuade Song Keren to make clothes in Lin'an City. However, the time is a little rushed, and Song Keren plans to go back in these three or five days.

Zhou Ke came back when the two were discussing the issue of silk and satin.

Zhou Ke hurried to the room and was found by Song Keren, who quickly stopped his uncle.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Panic?" Song Keren asked.

Zhou Ke immediately said in a panic, "No, it's nothing!"

Song Keren felt that something was wrong with Zhou Ke and looked at it carefully. Why did he wear his clothes? Song Keren quickly said, "Brother, I have something to discuss with you."

"Ah, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Zhou Ke said.

"Brother, it's a business matter. I'm going to get some tea. We still have 70 taels of silver on hand? Song Keren asked.

Zhou Ke's face suddenly seemed to have been punched. He was aggrieved for half a day before he said, "When I first went out, I lost fifteen taels of silver!"

"Ah..." Song Keyen shouted and took a step back, his heart was like a knife.

Fifteen taels of silver is almost equal to all the profits of the goods they sold!

When Song Keren was trembling with Zhou Ke's anger, she couldn't imagine that a big event had happened in Jingzhao City thousands of miles away.

That night, when dusk came, almost all the Zhou family fell asleep. In the middle of the night, you can still hear Zhou Guangyi's thunderous snoring.

Suddenly, a dazzling firelight in the east rushed straight to the sky. Then, there was only an exclamation: "Come on, let's go, let's go!"

Everyone woke up. After a second or two was at a loss, the crowd fled.

Thanks to everyone running fast, no one was injured in the fire.

Zhou Yong, Zhou Heng and Zhou Mao rushed into the backyard and carried a bucket out of the door. Zhou Tang immediately returned to his room and snatched out his jewelry box. Zhou Duoduo was so scared that he cried, and the cry was particularly sad in the middle of the night.

The burning is the firewood house of the neighbor next door. The fire burst into the sky, and the crackling sound was really loud. Zhou Tang ordered the women in the family to wait closely to avoid the fire burning their home.

Zhou Yong and others went to help. A gust of wind blew, and the flames went straight to the main room of the Zhou family. Zhou Guangyi went to battle in person. Zhou Zhang hurried to the neighbor's house and called the three brothers back. Everyone didn't care much and quickly put out the fire.

After tossing around in the middle of the night, a wall still collapsed.

Zhou Tang was decadent, but he had no choice but to tell everyone to go to rest quickly.

The next morning, you can hear people talking on the street.

A beggar claimed that he saw a sneaky figure thrown into the house in the middle of the night last night with his arms. The beggar followed him, but he looked at the figure in the bright place. That person is not someone else, it's Zhou Ke. The beggar heard that the young master of the Zhou family went out to do business?

Thinking of this, I went back to rest. Unexpectedly, as soon as I fell asleep, I heard the news of walking...

It is said that Zhou Ke was stimulated by his daughter-in-law's cheating, so it is not uncommon to do something out of line. However, he also said that Zhou Keming went out of town to do business. When he left, his neighbors saw it, so it couldn't be him.

I can't believe the beggar's words. How many times has he seen Zhou Ke? Zhou Kechang is not very special. He has one nose and two eyes. It is normal for him to recognize the wrong person blindly.

Therefore, another saying immediately became a hot topic in the streets and alleys.

You said that the neighbor's house has been unoccupied for three or four years, and there is nothing in the woodshed. Why is it burning? This is not a festival, and there are no children to set off fire. Unless someone deliberately set fire, how can it burns?

For a while, Zhou's fire became the most fashionable topic in Beijing Zhaocheng. Neighbors met. First of all, did you guess?

Zhou Tang was also calm when he arrived. The next morning, he went to the teahouse as usual. The landlord only received an extra month's money as compensation for seeing that it was a natural disaster.

In addition, we need to find a craftsman to build the wall this morning.

"Mom, do you think this fire is a little strange?" Fang Fang said while working in the gap.

Zhou Zhang glanced at Fang Fang and said angrily, "No one treats you as a mute if you don't talk!"

Fang Fang said aggrievedly, "Do people think the fire is burning strange!"

"It's strange, strange, you know it's strange!" Zhou Zhang took a white look at Fang Fang.

Fang Fang put the jar in her hand on the table and turned around and said, "Mom, when I said something from the bottom of my heart, you didn't find that nothing has gone smoothly in our family since Chu Chu came to our house? I think she's the one who defeated our family!"

Zhou Zhang's shoulder suddenly trembled, and she glanced at Fang Fang. This Fangfang is really open-mouthed. However, he said something on his mind.

When the fire broke out last night, Zhou Zhang immediately thought of Chu's hard life. I don't know if it has anything to do with this matter.

If this is the case, Chu Chu really can't stay.

Zhou Zhangshi recalled her dead husband again. Before she passed the door, she died. It seems that... Thinking of this, Zhou Zhangshi had a cold war.

At this moment, I saw a person floating in like a float. Zhou Zhang looked at the figure and was stunned at first, and then smiled awkwardly.

said, "Chu Chu, are you here?"
