What is your purpose? (2)

Even if she had brewed wine for so many years, the fried wheat would not be better than Uncle Fu. Of course, there were many ways to make koni during the Republic of China, but it was not limited to speculation, and Zhuo Lian was not familiar with it.

Huan Mother’s brewing koji required three parts of wheat, one part steamed, one part stir-fried, and one raw. These grains were all crushed and mixed together. Although it was not as good as white flour, it only needed to be replaced with suitable medicinal materials. The effect was not much worse.

Thinking of the dowry she was holding in the cage, Zhuo Lian had an idea in her heart and said, “Uncle Fu, you still crush the wheat according to the original method. I will go to the medicinal store and come back later.”

Hearing this, Huan mother wiped her hands with her apron, and said warmly, “Wait first, I’ll get you some silver. The medicinal materials in the city are not cheap.”

Just as Huan Mother went to the next door to withdraw money, Zhuo Lian said a few words to Uncle Fu, and then hurriedly left. When the middle-aged woman returned with her purse, only Uncle Fu was left in the room.

“Where is Lian’niang?”

“She said that she has a lot of money and can’t use your money.”

When he said this, Uncle Fu looked complicated. He held the willow basket in his arms and walked quickly into the courtyard. Huan Mother followed the same step, helping to lift with both hands, pour the wheat into the stone mill, and slowly push the stone mill.

Huan Mother’s complexion was not so good, and she couldn’t help muttering, “Niang Lian is also pitiful. There is a stepmother and a stepfather. When she entered the door, she didn’t get much dowry. If she buys all the medicinal materials, how would she live?”

“If Madam is really uneasy, wait until the koji is prepared, and then I will make up for Lian’Niang.”

Uncle Fu was forty years old, and his body was still strong. Even without the help of huan mother, he could grind the grain to pieces.

Zhuo Lian ran to Huan’s house quickly. Koji-making was a very critical step for wine making. It couldn’t be delayed at all. Therefore, she must buy back the medicinal materials as soon as possible. Divided into categories, there could be no mistakes.

She received the memory of the original body, Zhuo Lian also knew where the dowry was placed. Although the original body’s temper was a bit pungent, she recognized the disposition of the Huan family and knew that this family was very upright and would never be greedy for the bride’s stuff. From the day of marriage, her private money had been kept in the house, and no one had ever touched it.

As Huan Mother said, Zhuo Lian had indeed suffered.

It was obvious that she was also a lady of the Zhuo family, but she had no status at all. Compared with Zhuo Yujin, there was a difference between heaven and earth. After all, Zhuo’s father’s newly-married successor was the Fan family, who were not of a low birth, and gave birth to a pair of children. They had already established a foothold in Zhuo’s family.

There were a hundred taels of silver in the cage. Zhuo Lian took out a silver tael and put it in her sleeve. Then she walked out without raising his head, as she didn’t want to hit a human wall.

The numbness and pain swept over in an instant. She stretched out her hand and rubbed the tip of her slightly reddish nose. Looking at Huan Shen who was close at hand, she had a bit of amazement in her eyes. She took a few breaths to suppress the tears, and asked anxiously, “Uncle, what are you looking for me? The wine shop is busy making koji, I have to buy medicinal materials.”

Blocking Zhuo Lian’s path, Huan Shen’s expression was gloomy, his black eyes seemed to be quenched with ice, and he asked, “What is your purpose in going to the wine shop? You don’t just want to harm me, are you planning to attack your mother?”

Zhuo Lian knew that the Lord Zhen Guo in the script was very suspicious. Because of the arsenic, he was very wary of her, and this kind of guard would not easily dissipate.

In order to prevent this person from doing anything to herself, she could only stay next to Huan’s mother to ensure safety.

After taking care of her thoughts, she patiently explained, “I said earlier that the bowl of medicine was replaced by the pharmacy guy, and Yu Man wanted to harm you, not me. If I really had a murderous heart, wouldn’t I pour the poison down your throat when you were tied and unable to resist?”

Huan Shen obviously thought of this too, his phoenix eyes flickered slightly, and he had guessed the matter for seven or eight minutes.

“You know that there is arsenic cream in the bowl. The reason why you fell to the ground in front of me was because you changed your mind temporarily…”
