Shen Rong lives a really leisurely life. She even sleeps in the house in broad daylight. No wonder she looks so good!

She is nothing like her. She just came back from the county town and was busy with things inside and outside the house. She had no time to rest. In order to outshine Shen Sanniang, she changed into new clothes and put on rouge before coming. But she was still outdone by her. It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others!

Shen Rong heard everything Shen Yuan said and knew that she was here to feel superior as before, but her face remained expressionless.

In the yard, Shen Yuan was sitting on a small stool while Sixth Grandma was busy collecting herbs.

The voice she heard just now was the voice of Shen Yuan and Sixth Grandma talking.

Sixth Grandma just said that Shen Rong was sleeping and planned to send Shen Yuan away.

She didn't like this girl whose eyes were full of calculations.

She didn't expect Sanniang to come out so soon, so she didn't know what to say. She just picked up the herbs in the winnowing basket in silence.

"I heard that you went to the county town. When will you return to the village?" Shen Rong walked over and said to Shen Yuan while helping to pick up the herbs.

Sure enough, as soon as she asked this question, before Shen Yuan could answer, his inner voice reached Shen Rong's ears again:

Shen Sanniang must be envious of her for going to the county town, right?

If she knew that Gu Zhaoming was studying in the county, I wonder if she would be jealous of her?

However, she could never have imagined that Gu Zhaoming had already entered the county school, and that she would be able to go to the county town frequently in the future.

When Shen Rong heard this, her heart sank.

"I came back at noon today." Shen Yuan said with a little pride.

In order to hear more of Shen Yuan's thoughts, Shen Rong said with envy, "A county town! I've never been to a county town in my life!"

Shen Rong was not exaggerating. No matter in this life or the previous one, she was always an authentic country girl. Although she could read and write, she had never traveled far. She didn't even know which direction the gate of the county town faced.

Shen Yuan was immediately excited when he saw Shen Rong like this, "The county town! The county town is much bigger than the town, with a high city gate, many shops inside, and lots of delicious food and fun things to do..."

Now Gu Zhaoming is studying in the county. When she earns some more money, she will be able to buy a small courtyard in the county town, and then move into the city and become a city dweller in the future, Shen Yuan thought.

Shen Rong's hand holding the handkerchief tightened, and her heart sank suddenly. She was planning to go to the county town, it seemed that she should have a lot of money in her hands!

"Really? I'll go to the county if I get a chance." Shen Rong forced a smile.

Sixth Grandma glanced at Shen Rong and said nothing. She just took the packaged herbs and went into the pharmacy in the winter house.

Shen Yuan became more proud when he saw Shen Rong's appearance.

In fact, her trip to the county town to sell soap recipes was not smooth.

She went to the county town to sell a house. She originally planned to compare prices from three different shops before getting a good price. Unexpectedly, she found a rouge shop that was doing a booming business selling soaps, which were even more exquisitely made than the one she had taken.

That shop was naturally Zhang’s rouge shop, also Zhang Liuniang’s shop.

The reason why she was willing to buy the house from Shen Rong at a high price was naturally because it was not just a shop selling goods.

She knew that more than one person knew the recipe, so she adjusted it without delay and asked a carpenter to make a number of carved molds. The pancreas she made was not only fragrant and colorful, but also had flowers on it, which was completely different from the ones sold in the town before.

In the end, Shen Yuan had no choice but to find a shop smaller than the rouge shop to sell the recipe.

Because the shop was not big, and it was not an exclusive secret recipe, and the pancreas that Shen Yuan took was worse than the ones sold in the county, the price was naturally not high, and he sold it for one hundred taels of silver.

Shen Yuan knew that although the soap was made by her, she thought that since someone else had already made it, she was afraid that the method of making the soap would be known to others sooner or later. When she saw that the price was right, she quickly sold the recipe.

Although one hundred taels of silver is a lot of money, Gu Zhaoming's studies cost a lot, and it is unknown how long this money can last. Even though Shen Yuan really wanted to buy a small courtyard in the county town, he had to give up the idea.

After Gu Zhaoming found a suitable academy, he took Shen Yuan to buy a lot of things, including clothes, jewelry, and food...

She bought a bunch of things here and there and spent a lot of money.

As a result, as soon as she came back, Shen Yuan was scolded by Liu.

This time, Gu Zhaoming was not here, but Liu did not restrain herself at all, and Shen Yuan was almost mad with anger!

Shen Yuan was in a bad mood, so while Liu was out visiting friends, she changed into new clothes and went straight to Shen Rong's house.

Seeing that Shen Rong looked a little unhappy at this moment, she couldn't help but put a smile on her face.

Although Shen Rong knew what Shen Yuan had encountered in the county town from Shen Yuan's inner voice.

But he still felt a little uneasy, because that was one hundred taels of silver, and if he spent it frugally, it would be enough for Gu Zhaoming to study for a few years.

Shen Yuan admired the forced smile on Shen Rong's face, and felt relieved. He said hypocritically, "Sanniang, if you want to bring anything, I'll bring it for you next time I go to the county town."

However, she will not go to the county town in the short term. The next time she goes there will be when she finishes making the lipstick. When she makes enough money, she will buy a house in the county town and move into it. She is really tired of living in this kind of mud house in the countryside.

However, this lipstick is not easy to make, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to go to the county town for a while.

Shen Rong was stunned. What is lipstick? Is it lip balm?

As she pondered, she said vaguely, "Let's talk about it next time!"

Shen Yuan wanted to show off, but at this moment, Changsheng ran in from outside, "Sanniang, I'm back!"

No one knew where he came from. His clothes were torn, his hair was disheveled, and his face was covered in mud, making him look like a big tabby cat.

"Changsheng, where have you been?" Shen Rong's face darkened when she saw Changsheng's appearance.

In the past, Changsheng was often covered in dirt. After Shen Rong came into the house, Changsheng seldom followed those kids around, and his clothes became better.

Unexpectedly, while Shen Rong was taking a nap, Changsheng went out again and came back covered in dust. I don’t know if he went to those dangerous places.

Changsheng saw that Shen Rong looked unhappy and knew that she was angry. He put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and stared at his toes without saying a word.

Shen Rong frowned and looked at Changsheng without saying anything.

Shen Yuan smiled and advised: "Hey, Sanniang, don't be angry with Changsheng for being like this. Okay, quickly help Changsheng change his clothes! I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

Having said that, Shen Yuan stood up and prepared to leave, almost laughing out loud in his heart.

This fool is so funny. Shen Sanniang can only be with a fool in this life.

Even though Shen Rong knew that Shen Yuan was laughing at her, there was nothing she could do.

After Shen Yuan left, Shen Rong walked to Changsheng. She pulled Changsheng's sleeve, sighed and said, "Let's go. I'll boil some water for you to wash and change your clothes."

"Oh." Changsheng followed Shen Rong into the kitchen sullenly.

"What did you do just now?" Shen Rong asked as she scooped a ladle of water into the pot.

Changsheng sat in front of the stove, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Shen Rong looked at Changsheng and asked, "You're not going to fight with anyone, are you?"

Doesn’t he look like he’s fighting with someone?

Changsheng lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing this, Shen Rong didn't know how to ask any more questions, so she had to change the way she asked.

"Are you injured?"

Changsheng finally reacted this time. He shook his head and said in a muffled voice, "No."

Seeing that Changsheng did not suffer any loss, Shen Rong did not say anything more.
