Chapter 53: Aroma

Because he set a trip to Jixiangan tomorrow and went to the book market of Dabaoguo Temple, Qin Hanzhen was in a good mood. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info she had lunch in the Qingfeng Pavilion, and then took Qingxing back to Mingyuewu, and she didn't even sleep in the afternoon, so the master and servant opened the wardrobe and wardbox, and went to pick out the clothes to wear when they went out tomorrow.

Xia Qing rushed to help, and when she heard that they were going out of the house tomorrow to Jixiang Nunnery, she was also very envious. She is the son of the Hou Mansion, and she has lived in the servants' courtyard since she was a child, and she can't go out when she is idle. When I was a child, I could still run and play in the small street behind the house, and when I got older, I could only circle around the master when I entered the Hou Mansion. If she hadn't been sent to the northwest last year, she wouldn't even have been out of the capital.

Xia Qing has also heard about the reputation of Jixiangan, and she is very yearning for it. There is only one doubt about it: Jixiang Nunnery is also famous for the peach blossom forest, and the peach blossoms are almost exhausted in April, so don't you feel disappointed when you go there to enjoy the flowers again? There are still other good scenery in Beijing, so why don't you make an appointment to another place? There are several temples and Taoist temples nearby, and there are more tourists and more lively.

Qin Hanzhen said: "This is set by my grandfather's friend, whatever, let's just go out for a day." My grandfather said that he would take us to the Dabaoguo Temple to listen to the Dharma and visit the book market. ”

Xia Qing said with a smile: "I see! Jixiang Nunnery is close to Dabaoguo Temple, there are several big temples nearby, even the royal temple is in that area, and there is also a Nianhui Nunnery, which is also near the left, which is the place where the tablet of our queen is enshrined, but it doesn't accept pilgrims, but it's okay." Tomorrow is the Buddha's birthday, and every temple has a consecration ceremony, which must be very lively. The friend of the third master is about to be in Jixiangan, but he can speak quietly. After speaking, there are places outside to play, which are very cheap. Saying that, she felt envious again, and she really wanted to go out with Qin Hanzhen. But Qin Han really didn't say it, and she couldn't open this mouth.

Qin Hanzhen thought of his grandfather's mysterious appearance, and estimated that tomorrow Jixiangan would be in his party, and the identity of the old man he wanted to see was more special. Just in case, she still didn't take Xia Qing with her, but she had to appease the other party first. So she said to Xia Qing: "Ming'er, I'll take Qingxing to Jixiang Nunnery first." I'll take you with me next time I have a chance to go out, how about it?"

Qing Xing smiled and held Xia Qing's hand: "Good sister, you let me take the lead first." When I was a child, I also went to Jixiangan, and I still remember how to go from Xiangtang to Peach Blossom Forest. The girl said that she had asked me to be a guide, and that was why she had taken me there. If I have the opportunity to go out next time, I won't fight with my sister. ”

Xia Qing smiled: "Since you know the way, the girl asked you to be a guide, of course you have to go." Don't say anything about arguing, let's just wait for a good girl. The girl likes to take any one out of the house. I stayed at home, and I could still help take care of the house, and I didn't have to save the little girls from making a fuss when they saw the girl wasn't there. "The regret in my heart is a little less. She has never been to Jixiang Nunnery, so naturally she can't compare to the green apricots she has visited. Qin Hanzhen took Qingxing without her, which was also a proper move.

Xia Qing was appeased, and also helped to pick out clothes, listened to Qin Hanzhen's request, and helped choose a moon-white jacket, with a blue-gray skirt, which was also neat, but it was too simple, Xia Qing was a little disgusted: "If the girl doesn't like to wear those clothes embroidered with silver threads, I have made half of the new clothes I made for the girl, and I will be able to finish it tonight, so I can get it tomorrow, why bother wearing this old clothes again?" She persuaded Qin Hanzhen bitterly: "If the girl is asked to go out in her old clothes again, Mrs. and the second grandmother will know about it, and they will blame me for not waiting well." ”

Qin Han really thought about it, and said, "You don't have to work too hard, just do your best." If I can really make new clothes tonight, I'll wear new clothes tomorrow. ”

Xia Qing was overjoyed and hurriedly went back to the house to do needlework.

Qin Hanzhen asked Qingxing in a low voice: "You just said that you went to Jixiang Nunnery when you were a child, is it true, or did you coax Xia Qing?"

Qingxing paused: "It's true, I was young at the time, and I can't remember many details, but I remember the way from Xiangtang to Peach Blossom Forest." Even after leaving the nunnery, I can probably remember how to get to the nearby Dahokokuji Temple. I can really be a guide for the girl, and the girl can rest assured. ”

Qin Hanzhen was not afraid that she would lie, and said with a smile: "Then I will rely on you to lead the way tomorrow." When you were a child, you seemed to have been to many places in the capital. What do you do at home? What other relatives do you have? If you have someone you know in the capital, you might as well look for it. ”

Qingxing lowered her head: "When I was a child, my family also had some family background, but I fell later...... All our relatives are dead, and those who are not dead will not be able to recognize us. My brother and I did not pity us when we were in trouble, and now that we are doing well, why should we go to them? ”

Qin Hanzhen heard her pitiful, so he comforted her and said, "It's okay, you still have us." We are together as a family, and we are similar to our relatives. Your brother is waiting for his cousin in Longfu Temple, and he can't come back when he is free. If you miss him, I can also give you leave to visit him. ”

The corners of Qingxing's mouth curved and smiled: "Then I'll thank the girl." But my brother is outside, just to do things for the master and Wu Ye, so I won't bother him. When he's done and comes back, I'll be able to see him, so there's no need to rush. ”

As he was talking, Qin Jinhua from the main house came over: "Third sister is back, what is the box in this place?"

Qin Hanzhen told her about going out tomorrow, and Qin Jinhua looked envious: "It's so good, I can go out." I also wanted to go out and play, but unfortunately my mother couldn't agree. That is, when my grandmother, mother, and aunt occasionally go out to make incense, I can still follow it to breathe. However, I haven't been to Keika-an, but I've only heard that the peach blossoms there are famous. Good sister, you went to see the peach blossoms tomorrow, fold a branch and come back to me, okay?"

Qin Han said honestly: "If there is no one in the nunnery who can't pick flowers, I will break a branch and come back." However, after we left the nunnery, we had to go to the book market and the meeting, and when we got home, the flowers were still fresh or not, so I couldn't guarantee it. ”

Qin Jinhua said with a smile: "Forget it, if the second sister buys something good at the book market, just give me a play." If there's something delicious, that's even better. ”

Qin Hanzhen agreed, and Qin Jinhua happily took her to sit at the end of the study and discussed with her about the famous snacks and snacks in the capital. Jixiang'an is outside the Xuanwu Gate, what are some famous dim sum shops in that area? Although Qin Jinhua's little girl rarely goes out, she often asks her brother Qin Jian, so she is also very familiar with the situation.

Qingxing went to clean up her things, and Qin Hanzhen chatted with Qin Jinhua, chatted for a while, and then asked about homework. She will go to school in two days, and she may have a lot to learn from scratch, and she is a little uncertain. But Qin Jinhua still looked naΓ―ve: "It's okay, if you don't understand something, just ask Mr." Sir will teach you from the beginning, he couldn't be more careful. When I couldn't learn before, my husband even came to Mingyuewu to guide me. ”

When Qin Hanzhen heard this, he could only laugh dryly.

While chatting, Yao came over with the girl. She feels sorry for her daughter, and she has to come at least once a day, so Qin Hanzhen and her are also common.

Yao came over today and brought two small bottles: "It's getting warmer and warmer this day, and there are water and flowers in this courtyard, so it is inevitable that there will be mosquitoes." Your little girl's skin is tender, if you ask mosquitoes to stare at it, it can be red and swollen for several days, itchy and painful, in case of scarring, I don't know how long it will take to disappear. There is a kind of incense powder in my bottle, which is specially matched, and you only need to put a small spoon in the incense burner, and burn it slowly, so that no half mosquito dares to approach in the whole room. This incense does not hurt the body, the taste is very pleasant, and it has the effect of calming the nerves, you can light a little when you are at home, and you can also light it when you sleep at night, so you don't have to worry about mosquitoes disturbing each other. ”

Qin Jinhua hurriedly took a bottle, pulled out the stopper and sniffed it, and said happily: "Mother, is this a newly changed recipe? Yao smiled and nodded: "You always said that the previous incense smelled too heavy, so I asked someone to readjust the recipe, how does this taste like?" Qin Jinhua smiled and bent his eyes, and nodded again and again.

Qin Hanzhen took another bottle and sniffed it as well, and it was really fragrant. It just so happened that when she was picking out her clothes just now, she felt that there seemed to be mosquitoes in the house, so she simply lit them. She called Baiqiao to come, took a small incense burner from the treasure shelf, because there was no other tool, simply pinched a small pinch of incense powder, put it in the furnace, Baiqiao carefully lit the incense, covered the stove, a wisp of green smoke floated out, and after a while, the room was full of fragrance.

It's just that there seems to be a little spicy fragrance in this aroma.

Qin Jinhua sniffed: "Why is there something wrong with this smell?" She lowered her head and sniffed the incense powder in her bottle, "Aren't these two bottles of incense the same taste?"

Yao smelled it, and he was also puzzled in his heart. Yulan on the side looked at Qin Hanzhen's hand, held it and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "What kind of incense is on the hands of the third girl? ”

Qin Hanzhen then remembered that he had just been in the Qingfeng Pavilion, holding his grandfather Qin Bai's post for a long time, reading it before eating, reading it again after eating, and discussing with Zhao Mo who sent it, what kind of incense it was smoked, and after that, he didn't wash his hands, and there would be fragrance left on his hands, which was really normal.

She smiled and said, "Someone sent a post to my grandfather, but there was no signature on it, and I only asked my grandfather to meet him at the nunnery in the outer city." I was curious, so I took a few more looks, and it must have been the fragrance on the post that stained my hands. ”

Yulan smiled: "This is strange, the fragrance on the hands of the third girl smells like the smell of Angelica Angelica, and it is really rare to take this incense post on weekdays." I don't know who is so ingenious. ”

How did Qin Hanzhen know whose house it was? But for some reason, Yao's face suddenly changed, and he grabbed Qin Hanzhen and asked, "Which nunnery is Third Uncle Ming'er going to?"

Qin Hanzhen was stunned: "It's Jixiang Nunnery." Aunt Ertang, what's wrong with you?"

"Jixiang'an?" Yao Shi blinked, didn't it turn out that Nian Hui'an? She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face again: "It's okay, I made a mistake." (To be continued.) )
