Chapter 19 Liu's Incense
Gu Jiaoxiang's "small" finger made the two of them think about it, but they didn't think that it was something she had already planned, just waiting for the two to take the bait, they just thought that this girl was negotiating terms with them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Negotiate conditions?
The two of them were a little angry in their hearts, obviously dissatisfied with Gu Jiaoxiang's greedy attitude towards what they wanted.
It was obviously the crisis of the Gu Clan, and it was clear that she, as a member of the Gu Mansion, had the obligation to help the Gu Clan win a turnaround, but now she was actually negotiating conditions with them.
But when they thought that the current turning point of the ancient mansion was only on this girl, they had to place high hopes on him.
"You want benefits?" Gu Deyuan's tone was a little serious.
"What do you want?" Gu Changfeng looked curious.
Gu Jiaoxiang glanced at the two of them, and was amused by the expressions of the two of them who were afraid that she would open her mouth, but she still looked up, and opened her mouth with a hint of uneasiness and temptation: "My daughter just wants to ask her father for a few books to read, Luo Xiangyuan has few people, and it is cold and tight on weekdays, and I don't know what I can do to help my mother, I want to ask, but I am afraid that my mother will be in charge, so I want to read some books to pass the time, and my daughter knows that her father's study has the most complete books, so she dares to speak......"
Gu Jiaoxiang raised her head and glanced at Gu Deyuan, her steamy black eyes were filled with respect and a hint of expectation.
"Hey, I'm going to do something big!" Gu Changfeng listened to Gu Jiaoxiang's words, but he felt that the more he looked at this girl, the more he liked it, and he was also relaxed at this time.
God knows that he just thought that this girl was planning to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, climb up the pole, ask for some money and something, although it seems to be greedy for a little baby, but what if there is any embarrassing request.
Gu Deyuan was not what he thought, from the moment he saw the incense recipe she wrote with Xiao Seal just now, he was puzzled.
Gu Changfeng didn't know about the house in the house, but he knew very well, since this girl moved to that courtyard five years ago, he didn't pay much attention to it, and because of Zhang's reasons, there has not been much contact with that courtyard, as for the enlightened teacher who was hired when he was five years old, he has only taught for less than three years, to say that a child has only learned to read and practice calligraphy for three years, and he will never write such neat and temperamental words, but she wrote it in front of them.
"You might understand?" Gu Deyuan asked in a more roundabout way.
"Mother...... My aunt left me two books on spices and herbs, and I took them out and flipped through them when I had nothing to do in the past few years. Gu Jiaoxiang replied.
"Oh, Xiangshu? Which two? Gu Deyuan's eyes flashed, and he asked as if he didn't care.
"It's just that my aunt took the books in the study and read them in her spare time, and transcribed the two little incense books." Gu Jiaoxiang clenched her fists and bowed her head and replied.
Gu Deyuan suddenly felt a little regretful, he still wanted to ask something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back.
Gu Jiaoxiang saw his expression in her eyes, and knew that if he asked, she probably wanted to find out the whereabouts of the "Liu's Fragrance Dictionary" from her.
Liu's incense book is the general manager of the incense recipe passed down from generation to generation by her maternal grandfather's family, bringing together Liu's exclusive secret incense recipe for a hundred years. Later, the Liu family suffered a tragedy, and the incense book was burned in front of the eldest master of the Liu family, her maternal grandfather, in front of many officers and soldiers who raided the house.
As a result, in the last life, Gu Deyuan relied on the incense recipe in this incense classic, and developed Gu's incense shop to the capital step by step, he remembered that it was after the death of her mother, only a year later, Gu Deyuan personally went to Beijing to buy a house and open an incense shop.
As for her knowing the "Liu's Fragrance Dictionary", she later got it from Gu Deyuan by virtue of her identity as the wife of the owner of the Xiangge Pavilion and the need of Mu Yi to ascend to the throne, but what she got from Gu Deyuan at that time was not the original, but a booklet written by her mother.
She knows that her mother has the ability to never forget, every time she reads a book, she can write it down silently with her memory, and she also has the habit of transcribing books on weekdays.
But she felt that before the Liu family's accident, her mother would never casually transcribe this exclusive secret recipe, not to mention that the Liu family still has the rule of passing on the ability to pass on the male to the female
Now seeing Gu Deyuan secretly probing, he probably suspects that although the "Liu's Incense Dictionary" was originally burned out, what if the Liu family left a way back and handed over the incense recipe to her mother.
With his urgent thoughts, Gu Jiaoxiang was extremely frightened after thinking carefully, and suddenly had some new thoughts about the death of his mother in the previous life.
It's just that this thought only flashed in his mind, and he was interrupted by Gu Changfeng's next words.
"It's just that I want to read books, I'll be in charge of such trivial matters, the books in this study, you can take them and read them if you want to!" Gu Changfeng shook his hand and looked at Gu Jiaoxiang seriously: "But right now, you can read the book at will, but the premise is that you must concoct this incense lamp within eight hours." ”
If you want to talk about conditions, you naturally have the ability to talk about conditions, and this truth goes without saying that Gu Jiaoxiang understands it.
Gu Jiaoxiang nodded in understanding, and then looked at Gu Deyuan, although the ancestor spoke, but if his father disagreed, it would be in vain.
The old ancestors had spoken, and Gu Deyuan was not easy to refute in person, and shook his hand at Gu Jiaoxiang: "That's it, after today's incense lamp is completed, what book do you want to read, tell Changsheng, and someone will send it to you." ”
The implication is that she can't just enter this study.
Gu Jiaoxiang didn't care, anyway, the purpose of her trip was not really to read these books. However, looking at Gu Deyuan's attitude towards her, I think she still has a tough battle to fight.
"Now tell me, what you need, how to do it, you have made it clear, I will send someone to prepare, when you are ready, you can go to the incense room with me, don't delay the time."
Gu Deyuan has now turned his mind back to the matter of the Changming incense lamp, which shows that he has nothing to do now, and as for other thoughts, he can only put it aside for the time being.
Gu Jiaoxiang nodded again, thought for a while, and directly asked for the raw materials and incense utensils needed to concoct the incense recipe, because the most important replacement raw materials are not ready-made, so they can only send people to collect and purchase, but fortunately, they are all common, although the New Year is approaching, it should not be very difficult to acquire these things, so far, when all the things are fully equipped, it is already an hour later.
This time happened to be in Gu Jiaoxiang's calculations, and it was noon at this time, but looking at the appearance of Gu Changfeng and Gu Deyuan, it seemed that they had long forgotten that it was time for lunch dinner, and when they learned that the materials were ready, they immediately arranged manpower and took Gu Jiaoxiang's master and servant to go directly to Gu's Xiangfang.
As for the Zhang family, who sent someone to invite Gu Deyuan to dinner, but to no avail, he lost his temper after learning about this.
