Chapter 3 Agarwood crumbs

The aroma in the room was too strong, and she was a little out of breath, so Mu Tianxiang had to find a handkerchief placed next to the pillow to cover her mouth and nose, got out of bed and walked to the table tremblingly.

It's just that as soon as she approached the incense burner, the thick and rich agarwood rushed to her face, and even if she covered her veil, she still couldn't resist the fragrance, which immediately made her feel dizzy.

Because of the weakness of his body and the compelling aroma, Mu Tianxiang's body shook, and with a bang, she fell heavily on the chair.

Her heart was beating unusually in a panic, and she breathed slowly, and it took a while to come to her senses.

Reaching out and moving the incense burner in front of him, he stared intently at the agarwood crumbs that were about to burn out in the furnace.

After a while, Mu Tianxiang's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly sneered.

There was a hint of sarcasm and bitterness in that smile.

In her previous life, for the research and development of new perfumes, she spent three months making up more than 100 ancient books about fragrances, and was more familiar with about nearly 5,000 kinds of natural plant fragrances, so she would smell that there was something wrong with this agarwood as soon as she woke up.

If it is pure Qi Nan agarwood, the smell of smoke should be sometimes sweet and clear, sometimes fragrant and fragrant, although complex and changeable, but it is inseparable from the quiet and elegant, warm and introverted feeling, the fragrance lingers, has the effect of refreshing people's spleen and soothing people's hearts. It's not as rich and choking and disturbing as it is now.

Looking at the incense ashes now, people who don't know incense may not see what is wrong, but she can see that the ashes after the incense powder is burned, the color is a little different, and the gray and white are mixed with scattered black spots.

The better the quality of the agarwood, the closer the color of the incense ash after burning, the closer to the white, and the black impurities in it, Mu Tianxiang does not think that this is inferior agarwood ash at this time, there must be other spices mixed in.

She couldn't tell which one it was from the incense ash alone, so she fell on the jade incense box on the side.

Picked up the incense spoon and fiddled with the agarwood crumbs in the incense box, in today's technology is far less than modern, but the workmanship of this box of agarwood crumbs is fine, first of all, as a modern person, she was a little shocked.

Carefully observe this incense crumbs, dark green with a slight yellow, soft texture and bright color, it can be seen that the oil content is abundant, raise your hand and gently fan the face, the fragrance is fresh and refreshing.

Mu Tianxiang couldn't help but marvel again, although he knew that this shogunate was rich, he didn't expect that this box of agarwood crumbs alone would be of such high quality.

I remember reading ancient incense books before, introducing this Qi Nan agarwood, which is more expensive than gold, which was regarded as a royal spice in ancient times, and only the royal family and nobles had the opportunity to enjoy one or two, but she didn't expect that a merchant in the shogunate would also have the ability to use such a good incense.

Without forgetting her purpose, Mu Tianxiang stared at these incense crumbs carefully, and was finally discovered by her sharp eyes, among these incense crumbs, there were a few relatively small chips.

Taking out these crumbs and putting them on the table, Mu Tianxiang took a closer look, and felt that the smell was heavier, the aroma of different agarwood, faintly able to smell some stinky smell, faintly not strong, but slightly familiar.

Her head was a little dizzy, she couldn't remember when she had smelled it, and she couldn't see the reason for it for a long time, so she had to sit up straight and sigh.

Her three-month evil supplement is completely useless here, if this thing in front of her is what it is, she may be able to guess what it is, but now these crumbs, let her think about it, she doesn't know what it is.

Habitually biting her nails, Mu Tianxiang wanted to find a good way to identify what it was, thinking about it, she suddenly felt a slight spicy stinging pain on the tip of her tongue.

She looked at her fingers differently, and her eyes suddenly lit up, why did she forget this method of arguing incense?

In addition to the four most common ways of seeing, touching, smelling, and burning, there is also a kind of incense that is not respected, that is, tasting.

As for why it is not respected, think about the famous doctor Li Shizhen, you can know.

Although he was not used as a basis in earlier dynasties, there were no longer a few people who died of poisoning.

Spices are originally extracted from plants, and plants are poisonous and non-toxic.

Biting her lip, because she didn't know if this thing was harmful, Mu Tianxiang just gently picked up the smallest one, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly.

At first, there was no taste, but then Mu Tianxiang felt a hint of spicy and slight itching.

I saw her suddenly jump up from her chair as if frightened, and spit out the contents of her mouth with a few clicks.

Ma Fei, it is actually Ma Fei.

Mu Tianxiang stared at the crumbs on the table with wide eyes, looking incredulous.

Ma fern, that is, the bract of large hemp or its husk, although it can be used as medicine to relieve pain, but it is addictive, and long-term overdose will make people anxious hysteria and delirious.

The reason why she is familiar with this hemp is that three years ago, her younger brother was deceived into eating it by mistake while studying abroad and almost died, so that he suffered in a drug rehabilitation center for a period of time.

During that time, she hated this thing.

Mu Tianxiang exhaled heavily, panicking, and from the moment she knew the true face of this thing, her heart became uneasy.

I don't want to hurt others, but others hurt my heart.

Mu Tianxiang suddenly realized at this time that it was so dangerous for him to be reborn in Mu Tianxiang, and he suddenly became upset.

Her eyes were dry from the smoke in the room, and she sniffed, Mu Tianxiang raised her head and blinked her eyes to force back the tears swirling in her eyes.

She herself couldn't tell whether the tears were smoked, or because she was sad at the thought of being helpless next.

Sighing, Mu Tianxiang adjusted his feelings to the most calm state, glanced at the incense burner and incense box on the table, and threw the incense burner and the jade incense box into the basin in his heart.

Seeing the half-floating and half-sinking agarwood crumbs in the basin, Mu Tianxiang pulled the corners of his mouth and felt a little distressed, such a box of high-quality agarwood, I don't know how much silver it would cost to buy it.

It's just that she is distressed, and when her eyes fall on the numb crumbs that are all floating, she suddenly feels that her life is important.

Turning around and glancing around the room, she opened all the windows in the room, and in an instant the coolness invaded the whole room.

Mu Tianxiang was standing in front of the window with only a single dress at this time, and the cool breeze that suddenly poured in made her shiver.

Because she had been asleep since she came here, and did not know what time it was, until she saw a half-human-high peach tree in the garden, there were scattered three or two peach blossoms in full bloom, and she knew that it was early spring in March.

Now that the house is full of wind, blowing away the choking aroma, the air instantly becomes fresh, and Mu Tianxiang's dull and irritable heart due to the fragrance is now feeling a little happier.

Thinking of what she will face if she wants to continue to live in the shogunate as Mu Tianxiang next, if she wants to live, she needs to be cautious and take every step, otherwise if she is not careful, she will fall into the trap of others and be framed.
