Dad once said that the patient's mood is also very important. A good mood can sometimes even cure people's diseases better than medicine and stones.

As Xiu Yi had been ill for so many years, perhaps it was because the family was so busy that they left him in that palm-sized room every day, leaving him to fend for himself.

No, after she got married, she talked to him every morning and evening, and his illness healed quickly.

"Okay, you can sit in the front if you want, but you have to listen to me."

Qin Muxiu never thought that the price of sitting in the front would be to wear his wife's flower headscarf...

Zhao Jin'er used her scarf to tie up his mouth and nose. She was very proud and said, "This way he won't be tricked."

In order to reach the county as quickly as possible, the two of them traveled non-stop, stopping only twice along the way, once to drink water and once to eat dry food.

When it was getting dark, we finally arrived before the city gate closed.

After growing up, this was the first time for Zhao Jin'er to come to the county. He saw the tall city wall, which was elegant and simple, with three big characters on the top.

"Quanzhou County."

The vermilion pine-clad iron door is two thick and there are two rows of guards standing at the door, dutifully checking the luggage and packages of people coming and going, and charging entry fees for carriages and horses.

You need to pay two copper coins for the donkey cart. Zhao Jin'er was heartbroken and muttered in a low voice, "Why do you still charge money?"

Qin Muxiu explained gently, "It costs money to build city walls and gates. If we don't charge money, where will this cost come from?"

Zhao Jin'er just had little knowledge, but was very perceptive, so he reacted immediately.

"Yes, I still remember when I was a child, many uncles from the village came to the county to repair the city wall. They were responsible for food and drink every day, and were paid ten cents in wages. The repairs lasted several years, and it cost a lot to think about."

"That's the truth."

"Axiu, I also grew up in the village, and you also grew up in the village. Why do I understand nothing, but you understand everything?"

This...this is a soul torture.

"I read a lot."

"Then you teach me to read later. When I know more characters, I will also read."

"OK."

The corridors in the city are narrow, with shops on both sides. There are often small vendors stacked in front of the shops, and people come and go. It is really inconvenient to drive the donkey cart. Zhao Jin'er is afraid of bumping into people, so he grits his teeth and pays five cents to drive the donkey cart.

Leave it at the inn.

The young couple walked to find the carpenter's shop where Qin Peng was.

After searching for about half an hour, I finally found the shop, but unexpectedly it was closed.

"It shouldn't be. The county is no better than the countryside. It's so lively right now. All the shops on the street are open. Why did this shop close so early?"

After asking the proprietress of the dry goods shop next door, it turned out that there was a new carpentry shop opened in the next street. In order to grab business, that shop offered lower prices for both finished products and materials than this shop. It had only been open for a few days, and the business here was completely destroyed.

Stealed most of it.

"The shop was open at night to burn fuel and wasted money. The cost was huge, so Master Zhou took his apprentices back to rest."

The couple looked at each other: Qin Peng was beaten to a bloody head, could it be related to the newly opened shop?

It is normal for business people to fight for business.

Qin Muxiu asked again, "Sister, do you know where Master Zhou and his apprentices live?"

The landlady was in her thirties, and she was more than capable of being Qin Muxiu's mother. But when such a handsome and polite young man called her "big sister", she immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"It's in the back street courtyard. Just walk straight from here and turn a corner. Many people who come to work from the countryside live there."

"Thank you, sis."
