The butcher's family was relatively wealthy in the county, and they had no worries about food and drink, but the butcher's daughter, Zhang, was too plump and had not married yet.

Some time ago, she spent a lot of money to buy a bottle of rose fragrance here. After using it for a few days, she said that she had engaged the youngest son of the Liu family in the next county and would get married on the sixth day of next month.

Zhang attributed all the credit to this bottle of fragrance, so she was very grateful to Zhou's incense shop. On weekdays, whenever she had spare money, she would come here to buy some incense, which was considered to help their family do business.

Who came in today, and brought a piece of meat?

"Shopkeeper Zhou, you have received new perfume." She looked at the things on the shelf and asked happily.

Zhou Fengying said: "Yes, my eldest brother and sister-in-law just brought it. It is very effective against mosquito bites. You can try it."

After that, he handed her the bottle that he had opened.

After Zhang took it, she turned around and stuffed the knife in her hand into Du Wanchun's hand, "Sister Du, you take it."

Du Wanchun originally wanted to refuse, but she really couldn't resist her.

Zhang was not only majestic, but also very strong. She swung the knife and put it in her arms before she could react.

When she looked up again, Zhang had already applied the mint perfume and smelled it carefully. After a long time, she laughed loudly and said, "This thing is good. The place where I was bitten by the stink bug yesterday is no longer itchy! My father usually kills pigs, and there are many flies and mosquitoes. This is just right for him."

Then he asked Zhou Feng, "How much silver is this bottle?"

Zhou Feng listened and looked up at Du Wanchun.

Du Wanchun smiled and said, "This, twenty cents a bottle."

Twenty cents can buy a lot of things in the village, but compared with the perfume that costs several taels of silver, it is already very cheap.

For those vendors in the county, it is still affordable.

Zhang quickly took out forty cents from her bosom and handed it to Du Wan'anchun, "I'll buy two bottles."

"Okay, Miss Zhang." Du Wanchun smiled and took the copper coins from Zhang's hand, turned around and took out two bottles from the shelf and handed them to her.

Zhang couldn't let it go in her hand, and walked out with a smile.

Although Zhang was plain-looking, she was very kind and knew all the neighbors on this street.

Not long after she left the house, people came to the tailor shop, teahouse, wine shop, pawnshop, and noodle shop on the street.

When they heard that there was such a good scented dew, they rushed into the shop without thinking.

Zhou's incense shop suddenly became lively.

Gradually, the shop was full of people. Because there were so many people, it naturally attracted a lot of onlookers.

Ordinary people who were shopping on the street followed to watch the excitement and went in to watch.

They usually couldn't afford to buy rose scented dew, but something more practical like mint scented dew was not as pungent as ointment, but it had the effect of ointment, so they gritted their teeth and bought it.

Some people couldn't afford it for 20 cents, so they bought a bottle together, so that they only needed a few cents.

Not long after, the mint scented dew that had just been delivered was sold out.

Zhou Feng couldn't count the copper coins, and his face was full of smiles.

Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan were not in a hurry to leave, and helped to collect copper coins and take goods.

After the guests left, it was almost dusk.

After Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan had dinner in Zhou Feng's shop, they went to the market to buy some things.

For example, beeswax and sesame oil for making ointments, some shoes and cloth, and candles.

Before, their family used oil lamps, which were too dim and easy to produce smoke. Candles were brighter.

The couple held the things they bought and prepared to get on the carriage.

At this time, an old fortune teller suddenly saw Du Wanchun and said, "This girl is so lucky, do you want to tell your fortune?"

The old man looked gray-haired and skinny, and he must have lived a poor life.

Du Wanchun stopped and asked him, "Sir, what can you calculate?"

The old man looked up at Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Calculate marriage, calculate offspring, everything."

Zhou Ruiyuan's eyes sank slightly, and he said seriously, "Then calculate marriage and offspring."

Du Wanchun also nodded, and then wrote down his birth date on the paper.

After reading the eight characters, the old man was stunned at first, and then closed the eight characters with a smile on his face, "The girl and the young man are a match made in heaven, with a three-life marriage, and in this life, they are in harmony and have a deep affection."

He said

He pinched his fingers, touched his beard and said, "You two are destined to have three sons and one daughter, a large family, and a long and healthy life!"

"Three sons... one daughter?!" Du Wanchun was a little stunned. This was more than she had imagined.

The old man touched his beard and nodded, "Yes, you two have many descendants."

After that, he pinched his fingers again, "Soon, soon."

"What soon?" Du Wanchun asked again.

The old man half-closed his eyes, smiled and did not answer.

Du Wanchun half understood and wanted to continue asking, but was stopped by Zhou Ruiyuan.

Zhou Ruiyuan took out a few copper coins and threw them to the old man generously, "Thank you, sir."

He looked a little happy.

Regardless of whether the old man's words were true or not, Zhou Ruiyuan was very useful, and now he was very happy.

If he was still in the palace now, he would definitely reward him with ten thousand taels of gold.

The old man took the copper coin and said with a smile, "Have a nice day, both of you."
