Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

Wang Qing'er yawned as she entered the wooden house. She was so sleepy that she quickly washed up, applied peach blossom hydrosol all over her body, got dressed, and went back to her room.

Mu Nan wasn't there; she probably went to another bathroom to take a shower.

Wang Qing'er fell asleep shortly after lying in bed. When Mu Nan returned and saw her sleeping soundly, he gently kissed her face and then fell asleep in his arms with his sweet and soft wife.

Wang Qing'er carried a sack to pick soapberries. "There are so many soapberries, they're everywhere on the mountainside, I can't pick them all up no matter how hard I try."

Just as she was picking them up, she heard Mu Nan call out to her, "Qing'er, come quick, there are so many orchids."

She then abandoned the soapberry trees to pick orchids, picking and picking orchids one by one.

Muqin called to her again, "Sister-in-law, come quickly, there are so many flowers here, they smell so good!"

She ran to find Muqin again, and there were so many flowers: jasmine, camellias, gardenias...

"Haha... I'm rich now, haha..." She ran wildly through the flowers, her silvery laughter echoing throughout the sea of ​​blossoms!

“Haha, haha, haha…”

"Qing'er, Qing'er, wake up?" Mu Nan gently shook his wife, who was smiling foolishly with her eyes closed.

"Oh dear! Brother Mu Nan, I'm so sleepy!" Wang Qing'er murmured sleepily.

"Are you dreaming?"

"Mmm, what a beautiful dream!"

Do you dream about me?

"..." Wang Qing'er was speechless for a moment, "Uh, maybe!"

Mu Nan pulled her into his arms and asked, "What sweet dream did you have? Can you tell me?"

"Wait, this embrace... it feels so familiar! Could it be that she's not dreaming every night, but actually lying in his arms?" Wang Qing'er had been feeling herself in a warm embrace every night recently, and she thought she was dreaming, but it turned out to be real! "Brother Mu Nan, what time is it?"

"It's still early, sleep a little longer!" Mu Nan didn't press her further when she saw that she didn't want to talk about it, but just hugged her tighter.

Wang Qing'er felt uncomfortable being held like this by him while she was awake, and she struggled to push him away.

"Qing'er, go to sleep!"

"I'm not used to you holding me like this, I can't sleep."

"Then let's do something else?"

"Huh? What..."

Mu Nan rolled over and pinned her beneath him, followed by a gentle, tender kiss.

Wang Qing'er thoroughly enjoyed his gentle kisses; this must be the taste of love. But every time she was dazed by his kisses, Mu Nan would suddenly let go of her, and this time was no different.

"You sleep a little longer, I'm getting up first!" Mu Nan rolled out of bed, got dressed, and left the room.

"You jerk! You always flirt and then run away! Next time, I'll show you how I'll seduce you, I guarantee you won't be able to resist." Wang Qing'er cursed inwardly, determined to win him back.

Wang Qing'er tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Seeing that it was already slightly dawn, she had no choice but to get up and wash up.

She wanted to try the orchid hydrosol she had extracted yesterday, and as soon as she opened the bottle, she smelled a faint fragrance.

Pour some into your palm, apply it evenly to your face, and gently pat to promote skin absorption.

Previously, peach blossom hydrosol was used to whiten skin, remove blemishes, promote circulation, and make skin rosy and firm.

The effects of orchid hydrosol are similar, but the fragrance of orchid hydrosol is stronger, which she prefers.

She changed into clothes suitable for going up the mountain, then picked up a basket and headed towards the back of the mountain to pick mint to extract hydrosol.

I extracted a few bottles last night. They smell nice, and they feel cool and refreshing on the skin. I guess it's okay to drink them directly? Uh, I'd better not drink them; poisoning would be a real problem.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to the mountains?" Mu Qin called out to Wang Qing'er from behind as she reached the back gate.

"Muqin, why are you up so early too?"

"I get up at this time every day. Sister-in-law, wait for me a moment, I'll go with you." After saying that, Mu Qin ran towards the front yard. Not long after, she came running back, panting, carrying a basket on her back and another basket in her hand.

"Muqin, slow down, you don't need to run," Wang Qing'er instructed her.

The two women quickly finished picking all the mint by the river and filled two large baskets to the brim.

They placed the mint under a big tree and then took their bamboo baskets to go find orchids.

"Sister-in-law, can we extract hydrosol from magnolia flowers?"

"Magnolia flowers? Where can I find them?" Wang Qing'er asked excitedly.

"There are several trees on the front hill. They just bloomed a few days ago, but the trees are quite tall, and we can't reach them."

"The front mountain?"

"Yes, there are many wildflowers in the area on the front hill."

"Muqin, take me to see it now."

"Huh? Now? Aren't you looking for orchids anymore?"

"Let's not look for it yet."

"Oh, okay!" Mu Qin thought to herself that her sister-in-law really had a fiery personality.

The two carried the mint leaves and quickly went down the mountain back home.

Zhou was peeling bamboo shoots in the front yard when she saw two people carrying baskets walking hurriedly, as if someone was chasing them. "You two went up the mountain so early in the morning? Why are you walking so fast?"

"Grandma, we're going to take a look at the front of the mountain." Wang Qing'er said as she put her basket on the ground and helped Mu Qin take off her basket as well.

Zhou glanced at the two large baskets full of mint leaves and asked, "Are you going to use these to extract hydrosol?"

"Yes, Grandma."

"Then go take a look at the front of the mountain. Remember to come back quickly for breakfast. I'll get you some mint."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Grandma. Please help me dry half a basket of mint leaves, and keep the other half for other uses." Wang Qing'er poured all the mint leaves into the bamboo sieve and spread them out evenly.

"it is good."

The two of them picked up their baskets again and went out. Wang Qing'er saw a wooden A-frame ladder at the gate.

Just now Muqin said the tree was a bit tall, right? We should at least have to climb it, so she picked up the ladder and headed out.

Mu Qin asked with some confusion, "Sister-in-law, are you planning to climb the tree?"

Wang Qing'er said, "Take it with you first; you might need it."

Mu Qin caught up and said, "Sister-in-law, let us carry it!"

The wooden ladder was quite heavy, and Wang Qing'er was indeed finding it difficult to carry for a while, so she agreed.

The two of them carried the wooden ladder and climbed up the mountain with great effort. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Mu Qin stopped and pointed to a patch of white magnolia trees not far away. "Sister-in-law, this is it."

Looking at the large grove of magnolia trees in front of her, Wang Qing'er said, "Muqin, is this just a few trees? This is such a big grove."

"Hehe, I wanted to give my sister-in-law a surprise," Mu Qin said with a smile.

"Qin'er, your sister-in-law likes this surprise. Are there any other surprises?"

"there is none left!"

"Really no more?"

"Okay, there's another peach orchard over there, but it hasn't bloomed yet. That peach orchard always blooms late every year."

“Many wildflowers bloom over there every year, but I don’t know their names. I’ll take my sister-in-law to see them when they bloom,” Mu Qin said, pointing in another direction.

"Muqin, your sister-in-law loves you to death! Haha." Wang Qing'er excitedly hugged Muqin and kissed her hard on the face several times.
