Chapter 79 Earning Money with My Husband
In the early morning of March, just as dawn was breaking, the birds outside began to chirp and chatter.
The Zhou family had already gotten up early.
Du Wanchun was carrying the newly made mint-scented dew outside.
Zhou Ruiyuan drove the carriage to the door, jumped down quickly, and took the fragrant dew from her hand.
This time, the rose hydrosol is much smaller than the previous rose hydrosol, packaged in small porcelain bottles and neatly arranged in a small wooden box. It looks like a lot, but it's not heavy.
Aunt Zhou followed behind Du Wanchun and also carried over a small box.
After putting the box away, Zhou Ruiyuan immediately took the box from her hands.
Aunt Zhou wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. "Ruiyuan, you go with Wanchun to deliver goods today. I'll stay home and wait for He Quanyi to arrive so we can tidy up the things."
He Quanyi will be bringing people over to demolish the house later.
Aunt Zhou needs to tidy up the things here in advance.
They built a simple thatched hut next to their land. Although it was a bit shabby, it was enough for the family to live in. Fortunately, the house they were building this time was not big and would be completed soon.
Zhou Ruiyuan jumped onto the carriage and replied, "Okay, Mother, don't worry, we will definitely deliver the goods."
Aunt Zhou smiled and nodded, then turned and went into the house.
After arranging the items inside the carriage, Du Wanchun sat outside the carriage with Zhou Ruiyuan.
Zhou Ruiyuan held the reins and urged the horse forward.
As the carriage slowly started moving, Du Wanchun rested her head on Zhou Ruiyuan's shoulder.
Zhou Ruiyuan has broad and sturdy shoulders, which gives people a great sense of security.
Du Wanchun closed her eyes slightly, took his arm, and smiled happily. Before long, she became drowsy.
As Zhou Ruiyuan urged the horse on, he secretly glanced at her. "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
A blush immediately appeared on Du Wanchun's face. He didn't know if she had slept well.
She genuinely felt that her husband had too much stamina, and that if this continued, he would wear himself out.
She leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and smiled, "No, it's just a little..."
Zhou Ruiyuan looked up and asked with concern, "Is there something wrong?"
Du Wanchun lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and after hesitating for a long time, she said with some difficulty, "I'm a little tired..."
Zhou Ruiyuan instantly understood. He put aside his earlier worries, looked ahead, and smiled smugly, "Alright, I'll be gentle tonight..."
Du Wanchun suddenly felt like she was on fire, her cheeks burning, and she quickly buried her face in his shoulder.
In the gentle spring breeze of March, birds sang and flowers bloomed along the way. The two snuggled together, and for a moment even the wind smelled sweet.
Before she knew it, Du Wanchun had fallen asleep on his shoulder. When she woke up again, the carriage had already stopped in front of Zhou's incense shop.
Du Wanchun rubbed her eyes and got off the carriage.
Zhou Ruiyuan helped her up, then turned around and carried the perfume bottle out.
He was quite strong; he carried Xianglu with one hand and supported Du Wanchun with the other, and the two of them entered the room like this.
When Zhou Feng, who was sitting at the counter, saw them arrive, he quickly welcomed them inside.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you've come at just the right time."
Du Wanchun asked him, "What's wrong, Second Brother?"
Zhou Feng said with a smile, "Today, Prefect Zheng sent someone to say that he wants to buy twenty catties of sandalwood incense from us."
"Twenty catties?" Du Wanchun was slightly surprised; this was no small amount. "Why does Prefect Zheng suddenly want to buy so much?"
Zhou Feng shook his head, then looked up and said, "I heard from the second young lady of the Zheng family that her eldest brother really likes our incense."
Du Wanchun listened, only half understanding. She glanced at the sandalwood incense sticks in the shop and said, "We only have less than ten catties of incense at most right now. When we get back, I'll ask Mother to make some more."
Zhou Feng nodded. Then he noticed the box Zhou Ruiyuan had just brought in and walked over to ask, "Is this the new perfume?"
Du Wanchun took out a bottle from inside and handed it to him, "Take a look, this perfume can relieve itching and swelling, and prevent mosquito bites."
"So amazing!" Zhou Feng immediately took it and smelled it.
The mint-scented balm has a milder scent than regular balms, with a light floral fragrance that is refreshing and cool. Zhou Feng's nose twitched slightly, and then he poured a little on his hands.
He had a red, swollen patch on his hand from an insect bite the night before, and after applying the ointment, it really felt much better.
Zhou Feng was overjoyed, "This fragrant dew is indeed excellent."
Du Wanchun continued, "Yes, Mother plans to turn this mint dew into mint balm once she has earned some more money, so it will be more convenient to use."
Zhou Feng wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, ordinary people prefer balm."
As soon as he finished speaking, he placed the new perfume on the counter.
Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan did not rush to leave, but helped to arrange the fragrant dew together.
Not long after, a guest arrived—the daughter of the butcher across the street.
