Chapter 315 Jingzhou Mansion
Not long after Zhang Min and Xiaodouzi entered, they suddenly let out a scream.
Everyone outside was shocked.
After a while, Zhang Min and Xiaodouzi stepped out of the water, holding two huge peonies in their hands.
"There are actually two flower trees growing in the cave! They are so tall!"
Xiaodouzi was excited and incoherent: "It must be a god appearing! Ahhh! This Shiquan Cave turns out to be the cave of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl!"
Zhang Min was also very excited. He put on his shoes and took two peonies and ran to find the master, regardless of his junior sister calling him from behind.
"Master! Master!" Zhang Min found his master and senior brother at the door, held up the flower branch in his hand and shouted: "Look at this! I found it in the Shiquan Cave!"
Zhou Wuchang was talking to Wu Weng and was startled when he saw the big flower in his apprentice's hand.
He took it over and looked at it, then smelled it and frowned: "It grows in caves?"
"Yeah!" Zhang Min nodded hurriedly: "There are two peony trees as tall as one person growing in the cave, with many flowers in bloom!"
He pointed at the peonies in the master's hand and said: "One tree has bright red flowers, another has pink and white flowers, and its roots are as thick as the mouth of a bowl!"
When Wu Weng heard that there were peony trees growing in the cave, his beard trembled with excitement: "Sure enough, the gods have appeared! It is really the blessing of the Three Pure Ones! Our place will become a blessed place!"
Wherever a miracle occurs, the place will be prosperous even if there is no Taoist temple.
By then, the water in the cave will be hard to find.
Zhou Wuchang didn't quite believe it, so he went to the cave with his second apprentice to take a look, and sure enough, he saw two huge peony trees appearing in the cave.
Looking at the roots of the flower tree, they are firmly planted on the ground, and they don’t look like they were transplanted recently.
Could it be that my little apprentice is the reincarnation of a lucky star?
If not, why did everything she said come true?
With doubts, Zhou Wuchang boarded the carriage and took his three apprentices to Jingzhou City.
Behind the carriage was a donkey cart driven by Wu Yi and his son Xiaodouzi.
There were ten buckets of water in the donkey cart, and a villager was sitting there.
Due to the heavy load, the donkey cart drove a bit slowly, and it didn't arrive at Fucheng until the afternoon.
Zhou Wuchang asked Wu Yi's donkey cart to follow their carriage and came to a quite busy street.
"You just put the donkey cart here, take out the peonies, and shout loudly when you see someone coming. According to what I taught you, don't show cowardice." Yingbao taught Wu Yi and his son step by step how to do business.
She wanted to watch them sell a bucket of water before going to Zhang Min's house with her master.
When Zhang Min saw the door of his house, he was not in a hurry. The old man was staring at Wu Yi and the others to see how they yelled.
Wu Yi and the slender man named Wai Tou started shouting: "We are selling fairy water! Longevity and longevity! Beauty and beauty! It's always a bucket of money! The quantity is limited, come early, get it early, and it will be gone if you are late!"
The two of them were embarrassed at first, but then they saw other vendors were there too, so they let themselves go and even added a few words to shout out.
At first, people were quite surprised when they heard that a bucket of water was worth money. Some even rolled their eyes at them and said they were crazy for thinking about money.
Later, I saw them holding two huge and gorgeous peonies, and I couldn't help but gathered around to watch them curiously.
One person reached out and touched the petals. Seeing that they were real, he asked in surprise: "Does your home have a greenhouse?"
Wu Yi raised the flowers high and said, "This grows in the fairy cave where we live. The water is also the fairy water from the fairy cave. Recently, the gods appeared and two big peony trees grew in the cave."
"Is everything you said true?" one of the onlookers asked.
Wu Yi: "Is it still fake? Look at these peonies. It's September now. Whose greenhouse can make peonies bloom at this time?"
The man seemed moved. He took out one or two taels of small silver ingots from the bud on his waist and handed them to Wu Yi: "Give me two buckets, but you have to help me take them home."
Wu Yi got two taels of silver ingots and was so happy that he felt dizzy and quickly agreed.
Unexpectedly, the fairy water can be sold at a high price in Fucheng. Now their village is saved.
Yingbao saw Wu Yi and a villager named Shouhou driving a donkey cart to deliver goods, so she followed her master and priest to the government office.
Zhang Min's father was the prefect of Jingzhou. When he learned that his son and his master Zhou Wuchang had returned, he hurriedly dropped the official document, ran out of the official house and rushed home.
When Ying Bao arrived at the government office, she followed closely behind her master and senior brother.
Zhang Min hugged his mother, brothers and sisters and cried, and he couldn't come out for a while.
But not long after, Mrs. Zhang sent her mother-in-law to invite Ying Bao to come and talk.
Yingbao had no choice but to come out of the outer living room and follow her mother-in-law to the inner courtyard.
When I came to the flower hall in the inner courtyard, I saw several people sitting here.
The person at the top is Mrs. Zhang.
"Ying Bao, come here quickly and let me take a look. I've heard Min'er mention you a long time ago and I just got to see you today."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and took Ying Bao's hand and asked her to sit next to her.
She then pointed to the ladies next to her and said, "That's Xuehua, my eldest daughter. She should be four years older than you. She's eleven this year. The other two are called Chun Hua and Xia Shi, who are as old as you."
The three little girls smiled at Yingbao together.
Yingbao nodded to them: "Hello, sisters."
The eldest lady Xuehua came over, pulled Yingbao and said, "You are Yingbao. The second brother mentioned you in the letter. We all thought you were as old as me. It turns out you are a little sister."
Yingbao smiled.
The few of them talked for a while, then Xuehua took Yingbao to her room, but did not bring the other two ladies.
Only then did Ying Bao realize that Chun Hua and Xia Shi were concubines, and their biological mother was the concubine of Zhang Min's father.
There are hierarchies among several sisters because of their concubine status.
The eldest girl Xuehua is Zhang's biological child, and her food and clothing expenses are much better than those two. She also has her own small courtyard.
The other two lived with their aunt in a remote hut and did not usually come out to see guests.
But when Zhang Min came home today, the sisters definitely wanted to see him, so they called Chun Hua and the others.
Xuehua asked Yingbao to sit down, "Second brother said that you have built a Taoist temple in a village outside Fucheng. Are you planning to stay there permanently?"
Yingbao shook his head: "No, that Taoist temple was built for the local villagers."
With that house, it is convenient for the villagers to guard the Shiquan Cave.
Because once the water from Shiquan Cave is sold as a commodity, there will definitely be many people with bad intentions fighting for it.
Even if Master has bought that place, if there is no Taoist temple, some people will unscrupulously treat that place as an ownerless land and do whatever they want.
For example, nearby military villages and surrounding squires.
Xuehua felt a little regretful and sighed: "Then you are going back to the south again, right?"
Ying Bao: "Master said that he will stay here for a while. If sister Xuehua wants to see the second senior brother, she can go there and have a look."
Xuehua blinked: "Then when you go back, I'll go and have a look with you. The second brother once said that there is a big cave there, which is very beautiful. I...I haven't seen it yet."
"Okay, you will go back with me then."
Sister Xuehua is also considered a lady in Fucheng. She has lived here for several years, so she must have dated several sisters from similar families.
As long as you take her to see Shiquan and let her see the extraordinary power of the two peony trees, I believe that Zaoshu Village will become famous before long.
By then, villagers will no longer have to go to the city to sell water again and again. Maybe buyers will line up to come to buy water.
hey-hey! Maybe even the incense in the Taoist temple is strong.
