Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

"Four and six." Zhiyuan did not insist. There was more than one Taoist temple in Shun County. The areas where he was most active were all to the west and north of the county seat.

Don't even think about him asking to help sell things unless you have twenty taels.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lingzhu on the opposite side said: "Deal, it would be best if we could sell a hundred or so in a month or two.

Then I'll give you another one of the same quality."

Moreover, she very quickly designated where the rune should be drawn, and Zhiyuan instantly felt like he had lost money.

In contrast, Shen Lingzhu was very happy and was particularly active and enthusiastic when seeing him off.

She proudly relayed the deal to her family, then looked up and was tapped on the forehead by her senior sister: "Carving characters is just a gimmick. Just one or two will do for show. But you and Taoist Zhiyuan just talked a few words and wanted to carve talismans. You even agreed to carve over a hundred. Do you know how many strokes are needed?"

"Just expand it a little."

"I can't trace it. Runes require precision."

"Aunt, help me." Shen Lingzhu dodged her senior sister's finger Zen.

Hu Shi reached out to help her out, and Shen Miaozhu said, "Aunt, you have to teach her the principle of taking every step carefully.

It's really too much of a stretch to find a carpenter who can carve."

"Uncle said yesterday that he could carve it." Shen Lingzhu asked Shen Huai for help again.

Shen Huai didn't help her this time: "I can carve a few words, but I can't carve symbols."

“Besides, the box board is thin, and if you carve it carelessly, you will lose a piece.

Even if my uncle can carve, does he have so much energy to do just this?

We'll cover all the costs. They only offer one talisman. If I'd known you wanted this, I would have drawn two for you." "Senior Sister really knows how to draw talismans."

Shen Lingzhu knew that her senior sister could use talismans, but she argued, "I don't want to use talismans, I want to use the reputation of the Seven Stars Temple. I've heard from others that the Taoist priests are also saying that the bellows are useful. When they promote it everywhere, it will definitely spread to many people.

Besides, it's impossible to sell hundreds of them at once, so we'll just make two or three to try and sell them first. If they don't work out, we'll split up. We verbally agreed that no one would take anything from the other."

"Quibbling, can you change things that have been agreed upon with others at will?

Wait a minute, you almost led me astray. We are not only talking about engraving a hundred runes, but also about you making decisions on your own without informing anyone.

I thought you were only going to sell the bellows to Qixingguan, but I didn't know you'd go through so much trouble. Why didn't you call someone in before you made the decision? " Shen Miaozhu snorted at her, telling her to stop hiding.

Shen Lingzhu wanted to argue again, but Hu pulled her over and said to her senior sister, "It's not a big deal this time. You can try carving one later. There's no need to rush.

Come, let's mix the small change and copper coins, and you brothers and sisters can go and deliver them to each family."

As she spoke, she gave Shen Huai a look, asking him to go find someone to accompany him.

He also asked his son and Xia Wang to go to the village to buy some hemp ropes to string the copper coins again.

After sending all three men out of the house, Mrs. Hu became serious and said to Shen Lingzhu, "It's not easy to borrow reputation. Xiaozhuzi is not very cautious this time.

Tomorrow, I will personally go to the Seven Stars Temple and cancel this verbal agreement with Taoist Zhiyuan."

"Aunt..." She had never expected to be criticized or supported.

Mrs. Hu turned to her eldest niece and said, "Miaozhu, if she does something wrong again, we should teach her in private. You can't teach her in front of others.

Especially in front of Xia Wang, you must not lecture your sister. He is following your orders. If you hurt Xiao Zhuzi's reputation, she will lose her authority in the future."

"What my aunt is saying is that I just overlooked Xia Wang." Shen Miaozhu finally understood that in her aunt's mind, the Xia family were tenant farmers and capable people, not equal partners.

Mrs. Hu put the two children's hands together and said, "Don't be anxious or impatient. Making money is secondary. As long as we work together, our family will be fine."

Shen Lingzhu and her senior sister nodded in unison. They were indeed a little anxious because Beigou Village was a bit remote and they could only buy what they needed at Shenquan Market, where the prices were relatively high.

Without further ado, let’s talk about how the three siblings of the Shen family delivered money to each household without stopping from morning to afternoon. Finally, in the evening, they collected all the bills that Mr. Chi had signed for the villagers.

Then magical things began to happen. From before going to bed at night to early the next morning, villagers kept coming to visit Mrs. Hu with eggs.

As a result, the planned trip to Qixing Temple could not be fulfilled, and the planned trip to Dahuangzhuang was postponed for the time being.

Following his mother's instructions, Shen Xianzhu recorded the amount of gifts sent to each household in a book.

Shen Lingzhu sighed, it was really simple, as long as the money was paid back, everyone would still be good neighbors.

But just after noon, Shen Huai was drawing ink lines on a wooden board with a few children when a middle-aged couple came in and knelt down without saying anything.

Shen Lingzhu, who was kneeling beside his uncle, jumped away instantly: "Don't shorten my life."

"Who are you?" Shen Miaozhu signaled her elder brother and Xia Wang to lift the man, while she and her junior sister lifted the woman.

But the moment the two were held up, the woman screamed, "Mr. Shen and Mrs. Hu, you are the kindest of you. Please save my Bao'er! The screen..."

"What are you yelling about! My aunt just took medicine and went to bed." Shen Miaozhu gritted her teeth and stopped her, having already determined her identity.

Shen Huai retreated to one side and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't yell."

The woman was about to howl louder, but Shen Miaozhu quickly covered her mouth: "If you scream any louder, don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman felt something cold on her neck. It was the chisel that Shen Lingzhu had just held.

The woman stopped talking instantly and her body trembled. The man beside her was also panicked and stood up following the actions of the two young men.

Although Shen Huai did not agree with Shen Lingzhu's radicalism, this was not the time to blame her, so he moved out of the door.

The middle-aged couple behind him were also taken out by several half-grown children.

Shen Huai said, "No matter what, the screen and seal stone must be returned."

The middle-aged man leaned forward and said, "Master Shen, the screen has been given to my father-in-law.

We are willing to compensate for a few wears and tear on it, but we have never seen these seal stones before.

But my father-in-law didn't believe it and insisted on kidnapping Bao Ge'er and taking him to the county government office."

"Has Third Grandpa already set off for the county town?" Shen Lingzhu couldn't help but ask.

The middle-aged man said: "Not yet. He is tied up and thrown in the kitchen."

"Haha," Shen Lingzhu laughed, "Uncle, maybe Third Grandpa had no intention of going to the county town at all, but just wanted them to come to him so that he could explain the whole story."

If Shen Xianzhu and Xia Wang had not flanked the middle-aged man on both sides, he would have wanted to applaud his sister's cleverness.

When the middle-aged couple heard this, they both looked at Shen Huai. Seeing him nod slightly, they realized that their father-in-law had set a circle for them to jump into.

But no matter how angry they were, it was not the right time. They wanted to find Shen Desheng as soon as possible, provided they had explained everything clearly.

After listening carefully, Shen Lingzhu realized that their son Baoger was trying to please a girl's father in the hope that he would agree to propose to the girl, so he instigated Shen Jianxuan to take a screen to please his father, who was a carpenter.

As a result, when the girl's father saw the screen, he knew that it was not something Baoger could have, so he coaxed Baoger to pull the screen back.

When the couple found out about it, they beat their son and were planning to find a suitable time to return the screen, but they didn't expect their in-laws to show up at their doorstep just to get their things back.

"Uncle, do those seal stones have pre-engraved seals?" Shen Lingzhu was curious.
