"Aunt Lan sent me to give Miss Seven a box of agarwood, saying that Miss Seven should be able to use incense. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Cha Xiang handed the box in his hand, which was about seven or eight inches long, to Qiushui.

Bai Qiyu knew in his heart that Aunt Lan was showing goodwill, as for why, it was still unknown, but without touching his own interests and bottom line, Bai Qiyu was happy to see it. After all, there is always a priority in things, and when the truth of the matter has not yet been figured out, Bai Qiyu will naturally not tear up anything and expose anything, if the matter is stabbed to Mrs. Bai, himself, Bai Liuyun and the people around him will be terrible.

Therefore, Bai Qiyu felt that Aunt Lan's move was quite appropriate, and immediately said, "This is just right, I still lack agarwood here, this thing is too rare." ”

Bai Qiyu smiled and took the box and said to Cha Xiang, "Go back and thank Aunt Lan for me, just say that she sent it in a timely manner, which solved my urgent need." ”

In fact, this is not an exaggeration, agarwood is indeed a rare thing, and there are basically very few genuine goods sold on the market, so Bai Qiyu has always asked for it, and now someone has sent such a box, which is really a lot of money.

Cha Xiang saluted, and smiled obediently, "Miss Seventh can use it, and the slave will go back to her life." ”

Bai Qiyu nodded and called Qiu Ling, "Send me tea." ”

"No, it's so troublesome......" Cha Xiang was polite for a while, and Qiu Ling sent it out until the gate of the courtyard.

Qiushui looked at a palm-sized piece of agarwood in the box, and grew his mouth in surprise, "Miss!

Bai Qiyu looked at the agarwood, but remembered that when he first watched Zhang Ailing's "Agarwood Crumbs", the story was not very clear, but he only remembered the first few sentences -- "Please find the moldy green copper incense burner handed down by the family, light a furnace of agarwood crumbs, and listen to me tell a story about Hong Kong before the war." When you're done lighting up this agarwood crumb, my story should be over. ”

Bai Qiyu imagined that in such an era, such a woman, dressed in a delicate cheongsam, sat gracefully in front of the openwork window with a book, and the ancient wood-carved pavilion contained a sweet and steady fragrance, and there was a slow smoke......

But such beauty, in the end, has become a story in the wisps of agarwood. No one is gloomy.

Thinking of this, Bai Qiyu's interest faded a lot.

I took the agarwood in the box and looked at it carefully, it was less than a piece of palm-size, black-brown with golden yellow texture, with a soft luster, and the quality was good.

"This time, with agarwood, I can mix many different fragrances. Qiushui said happily.

Because of following Bai Qiyu's side and helping to help, Qiushui and Qiuling are also very interested in these things, and often listen to Bai Qiyu talk about the selection of spices, the refining of essential oils, the proportion of fragrance and so on, but he can also be regarded as a decent perfumer assistant.

This reminded Bai Qiyu of the appearance of having just become an assistant perfumer, although they are two completely different eras, but this does not prevent the commonalities between fellow practitioners.

"You're more of a perfumer than I am. Bai Qiyu laughed and teased her.

Qiushui also smiled, "The slave also remembers that Miss you said that agarwood is an excellent spice, but a good agarwood is not only expensive, but also extremely rare, so I have always felt a pity, but I remember it clearly......"

Bai Qiyu pinched the piece of agarwood and sniffed it gently, "You're right, so, Aunt Lan's move is ...... It seems to be trying to ease our relationship, and it is also to warn me to calm down and not to act rashly......"

And Qiushui obviously didn't expect so much, and was surprised when he heard this, "That's what you mean?"

"I don't know, I'm just guessing, I hope I'm right......"

When he asked for peace the next day, Bai Qiyu told Mrs. Bai about it, "...... My mother also knew that I would do the same, so when I gave Aunt Lan Changmingxiang, she mentioned agarwood, and Aunt Lan just gave it to me when she had some...... After a while, a new incense came out, and I sent it to my mother......

Madame Bai actually had a clear expression, and said with a smile, "I mentioned it when she came to me yesterday to run the Buddha beads, and you know that this is a good thing." ”

Bai Qiyu couldn't help but be shocked, she thought that she had arranged it more thoughtfully, not to mention all the courtyards, at least she still knew who came and went in Mrs. Bai's courtyard every day, but she didn't know when Aunt Lan came......

Fortunately, she didn't say anything wrong, but she didn't know what Aunt Lan told her for what purpose...... Bai Qiyu felt annoyed when he thought of these curved roads.

I only heard Mrs. Bai say again, "I don't know sandalwood, Qingmu incense, Ruixiang, you can use it?"

Bai Qiyu immediately rejoiced, "If you have it, it is the best, you can make a lot of incense, such as incense, incense powder, and balsam." ”

Madame Bai smiled, "These are quite common, I still have some in the storehouse, I'll ask Yun Ying to send you some later." ”

"Thank you, Mother!" these things should not be in vain, but save your own money.

"By the way, Mother, do you have honey every day?"

"Occasionally, I drink warm water, what's wrong?" Madame Bai is very sensitive to these topics related to appearance.

Bai Qiyu hurriedly said, "It's not wrong, my daughter sees that her mother's complexion is a little yellowish, if you mix a small amount of honey with pearl powder into a paste and put it on your face, it is excellent for the skin, and your mother can try it." ”

This kind of method, Bai Qiyu is more than that, to deal with a rich woman like Mrs. Bai, who cherishes her appearance comparable to life, this trick is very good, but it should also be used when it should be used, at least Mrs. Bai can still rely on her and have needs, and when the time comes, she can also be merciful to her, so as not to bring her a lot of trouble.

Honey and pearl powder are both edible and mild, and Madame Bai naturally knows the benefits of both, but she just applies them to her face.......

Madame Bai hesitated, "Isn't it weird to put it on your face......"

"My mother was too worried, so she put it on before going to bed at night, and washed it off after a quarter of an hour, once every three days, and after a few times, it will definitely work. ”

Madam Bai nodded suspiciously, "You can tell Wen Huizi and let her prepare it for me." ”

"The mother can rest assured, and the daughter can save it. ”

Bai Jiuxiang on the side also listened seriously, but he was also very interested in these.

After several other ladies also came to ask for peace, Mrs. Bai said, "Your father will go to Tongzhou tomorrow, please be safe, let's have dinner here today." ”

This is just after the Lantern Festival......

Not only Bai Qiyu was puzzled, but others were also secretly suspicious, of course, no one would be stupid to ask, but they each paid attention.

At night, Bai Qiyu finished washing, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and kept tossing and turning.

Qiu Ling, who slept on the kang for the night, said, "Miss, what are you thinking?"

Bai Qiyu was silent for a long time, and just when Qiu Ling thought she was asleep, she only heard her speak, "Qiu Ling, do you think there is anything wrong today?"

Qiu Ling turned in the dark and turned in the direction of Bai Qiyu and asked, "Miss, what did you find again?"

"It's not that I found anything, I just think it's wrong...... You see, just a few days after the Lantern Festival, my father hurried to Tongzhou, doesn't Tongzhou have our business? You say, rush over in such a hurry...... Could it be that something is wrong with the business?" Bai Qiyu propped up his elbows from the bed and looked in the direction of Qiu Ling, who couldn't see clearly.

After a pause, he said, "Moreover, I remember that the fifth sister seemed to mention it when she came once, saying that the marriage with the Wei family seems to be related to business......"

Qiu Ling hadn't studied these in depth, so naturally she didn't know much about it, so she was only slightly puzzled at this time, "This, it doesn't mean that there is a business problem, right?"

Bai Qiyu said again, "Then tell me, when does my father leave the house every year?"

"In previous years, it was usually more than a month after the New Year...... It seems that except for this year, there is no exception......" Qiu Ling also began to beat the drum in his heart.

"And I hadn't gone far outside the curtain today when I vaguely heard what my mother was saying...... The second sister wrote again and asked her father what he thought about it...... Doesn't that feel unusual...... Could it be something related to the second sister?" Bai Qiyu pondered.

Qiu Ling's eyes suddenly widened in the darkness and said, "Miss! Second Miss's husband's family is a court scholar!"

Bai Shuangyu, the second lady of Baifu, married Ding Lanqi, the second son of Ding Wenchang, the secretary of the dynasty, is said to have always been harmonious and beautiful, because of the Bai family's deceased Bai master, Bai Shuangyu is also more popular in the Ding family.

"The second sister's letter should be related to the affairs of her husband's family, and this matter must be more tricky, so my mother will solemnly ask my father......" Bai Qiyu analyzed it while thinking about it.

Qiu Ling said casually, "The letter at this time, Zuo is just related to this trip to the capital, after all, whether it is Shangshu, the prince, or the general, they are all powerful people in the dynasty, and they must be implicated......

Bai Qiyu immediately rejoiced, "That's right what you said, I'm also thinking about what it has to do with it, but Sister Yousu is in the capital, so we don't have to worry too much......

Thinking of this, Bai Qiyu remembered about the shop again, "Before leaving, we have to send the inventory to the shop first, so that Xu Zhixing can get ready, and then, half a month later than us, let's set off to Linfeng City, at that time, Sister Su will probably take care of the shop almost, and we can also arrange the arrangements first." ”

Qiu Ling smiled, "Miss, you are really thoughtful. ”

"Sleep, I'm going to make a lotion tomorrow, it's not a light task. Bai Qiyu turned over and found a comfortable position to sleep with confidence.

Qiu Ling responded and closed her eyes in the dark.

A peaceful night.
