Chapter 27: The Story of Incense
After Zeng Yuqi returned to the room, she kept whispering in her mouth.
"I calculated, I have to submit an article in a month, I only have time in the morning and noon, and the subject of this article is not limited, so what type of article should I write, this is a difficult problem. ”
"The host can find some beauty according to some of his daily life. ”
Suddenly the system that had been quiet in Zeng Yuqi's mind for a long time said.
"Oh, you say the same thing. ”
Zeng Yuqi patted his head and said in surprise.
"Uh-huh, come on, host. ”
The system looked at Zeng Yuqi like this, and hurriedly made persistent efforts, saying words to let her cheer.
"Well, I'm sleepy, go to sleep. ”
Zeng Yuqi went directly to the bed and slept until dawn.
At this time, she had already woken up and was walking outside with a parasol.
Oh my God, it's so hot!
Zeng Yuqi fanned it with her hand and found that it didn't work at all.
"Shhh
She reached out and touched the back of her neck, and said strangely, "This...... What was going on just now? Why did it hurt so much? ”
"No, no... I don't know. ”
The system stammered, as if trying to cover something up.
"Hey, system, are you hiding something from me!? ”
How could she not have discovered such an obvious flaw?
"It's okay, the host is thinking too much. The system said weakly.
"Really?"
Zeng Yuqi asked tentatively.
"Not really. The system said firmly.
"Forget it, if you don't, you won't have it. ”
She said indifferently.
Looking around, she still couldn't find the material she was looking for.
Along the way, she walked aimlessly, watching, taking photos, and recording.
"Selling sachets, selling sachets, who will buy them?"
An old but powerful female voice came from a shop at the interchange, successfully attracting Zeng Yuqi's attention.
She followed her voice to an antique shop, and as soon as she walked in, she was greeted by a particularly fragrant aroma.
It's so fragrant, what kind of fragrance is this, it smells so good.
Zeng Yuqi took a deep breath, looking fascinated by this fragrance, and thought she was smoking a big cigarette if she didn't know.
"It's a perfumer's incense that smells special. ”
The system kindly said to her.
"Perfumer?!So amazing?!"
Zeng Yuqi didn't expect that she would be able to meet a living perfumer, in the past, she could always hear others say perfumers, perfumers, but now she can be regarded as seeing real people.
"Little girl, are you here to buy sachets? or are you here to buy incense?"
I saw an old man in a red Tang costume snuggling up to the side of the gang, and it was also very antique on the counter.
"Can I buy both?" Zeng Yu looked curiously at this smiling old woman with a happy face.
"The little girl is really greedy. The old grandmother was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled and said her sincere comment.
"Is that okay with the lady?" Zeng Yuqi asked the old lady very politely.
"Of course, isn't it just for people to buy it here?"
When she heard the word madam, the old lady seemed to think of something, but it was only a fleeting stunned moment.
Then she looked lovingly at the little girl in front of her, and she thought she was very interesting.
"And how much does this sachet cost?"
Zeng Yuqi walked to the counter and saw a sachet full of jasmine flowers and migratory birds, she picked it up very much and played with it in her hand.
"This?"
took the sachet that Zeng Yuqi put in his hand to play with, and looked at the sachet with some reluctance.
This is a token of love given to him by her wife when she was alive, and the jasmine ribbon on it represents her, this migratory bird symbolizes their love like a migratory bird.
And now that his wife has passed away for many years, she has always missed him, so she always carries this sachet with her.
Now it seems that it is time for her to let go.
After touching the migratory bird on it, she put the sachet back into Zeng Yuqi's hand.
"I'll tell you a story, I'll tell you the price of this sachet after listening to it, okay?"
She said that during the war years, there was a young man and a woman who met in the wrong place.
"Comrade Jiang Liqiu, the task given to you by the party this time is to go to Shanghai to find Comrade Gu Lixia and bring us the telegraph back. ”
In 1894, both her parents and relatives died at the hands of little Japan.
The following year, she resolutely abandoned the job she had managed to find and joined the Red Army.
Later, she began to take on tasks, which were successfully completed again and again, and she received the attention of the party.
Then she was plastered to Shanghai to complete the task.
That time, he and she pretended to be husband and wife in order to complete the mission, but what they didn't expect was that they had feelings for each other.
Later, they successfully got married, and they went out on a mission together to complete the task and never failed.
But that time, they never thought that there were spies around them.
The spy revealed their whereabouts, and he shot her in the stomach in order to save her life.
Fortunately, he was rescued at the time, and everyone thought it should be fine.
But after the end of the Liberation War, his old injuries began to recur, and in the later stages they became more and more serious.
Even he had some difficulty speaking every day, and the fatal blow to him was the recurrence of the wound in his abdomen.
He couldn't resist and died.
She was left alone in the world.
Before he joined the party, he was a craftsman, who could mix perfume and embroider sachets.
His perfumery technique was taught by him, and she actually knew how to use this sachet.
Her ancestors were originally from the embroidery generation, but they didn't support the feudal society at that time, and her ancestors who embroidered clothes for the palace nobles would of course be dismissed.
Unfortunately, later her mother was too beautiful, so little Japan saw that she wanted to force her to add her mother, but her mother killed her.
Then the Japanese searched for trouble and painted their whole family, leaving her alone.
Forget it, I'm still a little reluctant, let's keep this for myself.
"Little girl, after listening to this story, you should know that this work is priceless, and I don't want to sell it. ”
"I'm sorry, ma'am, because I reminded you of something sad. ”
After listening to the story of this sachet, Zeng Yuqi was a little touched.
"Little girl, in order to compensate you, shall I give you my secret incense for you?"
"Yes, ma'am, with all due respect, do I have a name for this incense?"
"Hahaha, little girl, this incense is called Li Siqiu, my deceased wife has mixed the incense for me, doesn't it smell good?"
With this fragrance with her, it is like her wife has always been by her side.
"Li Siqiu, this name is very good. ”
