The flowers were so beautiful that they could be used as a decoration.

Auntie Zhou put the stems and roots of the purple flowers in the basket and said with a smile: "This thing is called sweet pine. The stems and roots can be dried and made into spices."

Auntie Wang suddenly realized and hurried to help dig together. "I didn't expect that there are so many knowledges in making incense. Even the stems and roots of this weed can be made into spices."

Auntie Zhou nodded and said: "Yes, it can not only make incense, but also be used as a medicinal material. The stems and roots of sweet pine are dried and ground into powder, and then mixed with cyperus and agarwood to make incense pills. Not only is it fragrant and refreshing, but it can also cure diseases."

"So magical?" Auntie Wang looked at the small stems and leaves with a look of surprise on her face.

Aunt Zhou dug a little more with a small hoe, then picked a small stem and handed it to her, saying, "This sweet pine can not only make incense, but also remove the bad smell in the mouth. Usually, just take a small piece and chew it in your mouth and swallow it, and there will be no bad smell in your mouth all day."

This method is often used by many concubines and maids in the palace, especially the maids who serve the emperor. They are afraid that the smell in their mouths will fumigate the emperor.

Farmers don't pay so much attention to it.

It was the first time that Aunt Wang heard of it. She took the stems and leaves in her hand and chewed them in her mouth.

The newly picked stems and leaves would be a little bitter. Aunt Wang closed her eyes and swallowed the sweet pine stems, and then blew towards her palm.

There was a faint fragrance in the breath she exhaled.

She laughed and said, "Oh, it's really fragrant!"

Aunt Zhou chewed one herself, "Let's pick some back quickly, otherwise we won't be able to find it next time."

"Okay." Aunt Wang smiled and responded, and she was immediately full of energy.

The two of them got busy with their small hoes.

While they were busy here, the sister-in-law of the Sun family suffered a lot.

The sister-in-law of the Sun family woke up from her coma and saw that her hands and feet were tied. She hurriedly shouted outside: "Who are you? How dare you tie me up!"

The bandits outside the ruined temple heard the voice inside and frowned impatiently, "How come this peasant woman woke up so quickly?"

The tall boss said: "Go, tell her to shut up. She is shouting too loudly, so as not to attract the attention of passers-by."

"Okay, big brother." The two bandits on the side responded quickly, and then rolled up their sleeves and walked into the room where the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family was imprisoned.

Mrs. Sun saw someone coming in and quickly scolded them: "Who are you? Why are you tying me up?!"

The bandits didn't answer her, but came up and stuffed a smelly rag into her mouth.

Mrs. Sun struggled desperately, with a pair of fierce eyes, and she couldn't wait to rush up and fight with the bandits.

After the bandits stuffed their mouths, they clapped their hands and said, "Why did they tie you up? It's your fault for not selling the shop! If you had sold it earlier, would the master of the Sun family have been able to do so many things?"

Mrs. Sun was shocked when she heard this, and she used her throat to make a sound and asked, "Did Master Sun send you here?"

However, the sound coming out of her throat was not clear, and the bandits could not hear a word clearly. They raised their feet and kicked Mrs. Sun, "Don't look at me like that, what? Do you want to do it?"

He kicked Mrs. Sun in the stomach.

Mrs. Sun cried out in pain and fell to the ground, holding her stomach and rolling.

At this time, the bandit next to him advised: "Okay, we are just after money, don't hit anyone."

The bandit squatted on the ground, looked at Mrs. Sun and smiled: "Mr. Sun didn't say we can't hit anyone. Look how arrogant this peasant woman is. I can't get rid of my anger if I don't hit her twice."

Mrs. Sun stared with her eyes, looking like a vicious dog, and she wanted to curse his ancestors for eighteen generations.

A discerning person can see it at a glance.

The other bandit who advised him stopped talking and left directly. Before leaving, he told him: "Don't kill anyone after you get the money!"

The bandit turned around and smiled: "Don't worry, no matter what we do, we are not as cruel as Master Sun. The Liu family's shop was burned down at will. I heard that a woman was burned to death in it."

The bandit who left paused, "We are also involved in this matter. Be careful with your words."

"Okay, be careful with your words!" The bandit was a little impatient. He looked at Mrs. Sun and kicked again, "I heard that the Zhou family used to be a farming family. How come they opened a shop?"

The bandit who was about to leave rolled his eyes at him, "You just watch the people honestly, why do you care so much?!"

After that, he turned around and left.

Mrs. Sun, who was lying on the ground, immediately understood what the Zhou family meant when she heard about it. It seemed that these bandits had kidnapped the wrong person. She quickly sat up and went to

The bandit shouted, "I am not a member of the Zhou family, you have tied the wrong person!"

However, something was stuffed in her mouth, so she could only make a whimpering sound.

Seeing her so excited, the bandit thought she was cursing again, so he stood up and slapped her, angrily saying, "You are such a dishonest woman, I will beat you to death!"

Mrs. Sun was stunned by the slap, and continued to whimper while covering her face.

The bandit could not hear a word and kicked her several times.

In the end, Mrs. Sun was beaten so hard that she could not say a word and fell to the ground struggling in pain.

In the Sun Mansion, the eldest brother of the Sun family was smiling and said happily, "Great, keep a close eye on them and force them to pay two thousand taels of silver."

The bandit who came to report the news bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

Master Sun smiled and walked back and forth in the room, "Let me see if the Zhou family is still stubborn!"

The servant beside him laughed and said, "Master, don't worry, I guess they will come to beg you in less than a day."

Master Sun took the tea beside him and drank it in big gulps, with a smug smile on his face, "When they come to beg me, I won't pay two thousand taels."

Perhaps because he was still swallowing the tea while speaking, he started coughing violently as soon as he finished speaking.

"Cough cough cough! Cough cough!"

The servant patted him on the back, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
