Chapter 141: The Princess's Summons
"Oh my God, it's really raining?"
"Did you wake up on your own?" Qingqing was combing her hair in front of the mirror, and turned her head in surprise when she heard this, "I originally planned not to call you up, it's not interesting to try incense, it's not bad to sleep a little longer." ”
"I mean, it's raining. I still remember the starry sky at night, and it definitely wasn't going to rain. So isn't that incense from yesterday very effective? Lin Yu casually grabbed his hair a few times, and exclaimed as he walked to the window. Look, it's not a small rain. ”
Seeing Lin Yu's energetic appearance, Qingqing couldn't help but smile, "I didn't expect that legend to be true, I thought it was a lie when I was honest." You know, I actually prepared two pills, one large and one small, the small one is the size of a soybean, and there is nothing abnormal when it burns. ”
"But it smells good." Lin Yu said with a smile, "Prepare a pill for me, I usually carry it with me, it's not bad." ”
"You basically don't bring any flowers and grass on weekdays, even if you don't like this kind of fragrance, you may not be able to like it anywhere, so wait until you're free." Qingqing smiled, but turned a little worried.
"Although I intend to gradually let the Gu family reappear in front of the world, but yesterday I impulsively revealed my identity, and showed the strange fragrance of Xingluoyu, which seems to be a bit high-profile, and I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse. And the current Feng family is the number one spice family, and I have exposed the fact that the young master of the Feng family, Wind Blowing Snow, used phantom incense in violation of regulations, but I am afraid that the Feng family will definitely want to suppress me. ”
"Anyway, it's already happened, and we can only take it one step at a time." Lin Yu is much more optimistic.
"You're right, we're in a good position right now, and it doesn't matter if you want to come for a while." Qingqing's eyebrows and eyes were also relieved.
"By the way, what kind of incense is phantom incense? Is it serious to use phantom incense in violation of the wind and snow? Lin Yu asked curiously.
"If the current rules of the perfume industry have not changed significantly, it should be a very serious matter." Speaking of the wind blowing the snow, Qingqing sighed, and seemed to feel a little regretful.
"Phantom incense does not please others by its fragrance, but by the effect of medicine, which can actually be attributed to poison. In fact, the use of phantom incense is not absolutely impossible, and some medicinal incense that can temporarily relieve severe pain is also achieved through phantom incense, but it must be explained in advance, and the dosage must be strictly controlled. And the worst thing is that the phantom incense is not only poisonous, but also has the potential to make the user addicted to the incense, which is absolutely not allowed. ”
"It seems that the doctor disregards medical ethics and uses drugs indiscriminately, isn't this kid miserable?" Lin Yu was not too surprised when he heard it, Yingsu was actually a poppy, and it was a drug.
In modern China, it is a capital offense to play with drugs. At present, although we have not experienced the pain of drug addicts in modern times, I am afraid that it is impossible to know the role of opium poppy.
"It should be miserable, I remember my mother told me about a case of such a thing in the previous dynasty, where my hands were chopped off. And he was still exposed on such an occasion as the royal incense tasting feast. Qingqing sighed, "He is actually a very talented young man, but I am afraid that he has gone the wrong way for a while." I now regret that I was so excited. ”
Lin Yu didn't have much sympathy for the kid who trafficked drugs, and said while combing his hair, "Not to mention that he is extremely disrespectful to the ancestors of the Gu family. But it's better to expose the use of phantom incense, lest he get a false name because of it, and say it again and again, if he doesn't expose it at that time, will he still endure the poison of phantom incense? ”
"That's the reason, it's just a pity." Qingqing is a perfumer, so naturally she has some special love for talented young perfumers. "Forget it, don't talk about this, since you're up, hurry up and freshen up and let's go to dinner. At this time, Xiaobai is estimated to have gotten up. ”
"Don't worry, I'll be able to freshen up quickly."
"It's fast, I don't know how to comb my hair, but now I can simply pull my hair and comb three simple hairstyles.
Lin Yu bragged and was ruthlessly poked by Qingqing.
"You're just better than me, are you a good groomer?" Not to be outdone, Lin Yu retorted.
Qingqing is indeed not very good at dressing up, only daily, but it is much stronger than Lin Yu, and it is definitely not stronger. Qingqing's strengths are one is to make fragrances, and the other is to deal with housework, rather than dressing up and putting on makeup.
"Let me do it."
Qingqing and Lin Yu were joking over there, and Biqiong, the palace maid who sent the washing water, interjected with a smile. She had a good impression of these two girls who didn't mess with her, but the main reason was that Lin Yu's long hair as bright as a waterfall attracted her, which made her itch a little, after all, she had never seen such good hair in the palace.
After Biqiong entered the palace, the first thing she learned was to comb the hair of those nobles, and at that time she was very fond of the master she served, a nobleman who was being favored. However, the noble man did not last long, and soon fell out of favor for some reasons and was locked up in a cold palace. She was also sent to this place where no nobles came all the year round. However, there are few fights here, and the days are leisurely, which is not difficult
"Don't bother." Lin Yu and Qingqing glanced at each other, smiled and shook their heads, "Actually, we can solve it ourselves." ”
"Why are you two polite? I was originally a palace maid who specializes in combing my hair, but I really want to try my hand when I see this good hair. Biqiong laughed.
Lin Yu himself was impatient to comb his hair in a bun, and he was quite curious about the level of the palace maids in the palace, so he nodded and agreed to Biqiong's help.
This professional is different, Biqiong went into battle, and in just a quarter of an hour, Lin Yu changed to a very beautiful hairstyle, which very set off Lin Yu's face shape, looking beautiful and noble, with a few golden hairpins and beads, it is also quite gorgeous.
After Lin Yu thanked Biqiong, he and Qingqing went downstairs, and as soon as Bai Feiruo saw the two of them coming, he exclaimed again and again, "Sister Qingqing, it's really raining today, and it started to rain on the fourth watch yesterday." ”
"You didn't sleep well at night?" Lin Yu was not surprised by Bai Feiruo's surprise, but was a little surprised by Bai Feiruo's insomnia, "Didn't you boast that you never had insomnia at night?" ”
"This, I changed places temporarily, and insomnia is also normal, isn't it?" Looking at Lin Yu who was looking at him with a pair of innocent eyes, Bai Feiruo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that his qi and blood were floating again, and he hurriedly changed the topic. "Hurry up and eat something, didn't you say you want to try the incense?"
Regarding the strange fragrance of Xingluoyu, people are naturally not the only ones who are surprised, from the palace maids and eunuchs to the perfume masters, as well as the dignitaries and nobles who came to vassal elegance are quite surprised when they all go to bed together.
"Is it really raining? Is this really a sign of rain or a blind cat hitting a dead mouse. The palace maid who served Princess Qinghe said softly,
Princess Qinghe, who was grooming in front of the mirror, smiled slightly, "It's true that I look at it, I'm going to summon the perfumer who is said to be the heir of the Gu family later, it's called Qingqing, right?" It seems that the plain girl has entrusted me with taking care of it. Red Medicine, you call someone to inform me.
"Yes." Hongyao nodded, holding a plate of jewelry, let Princess Qinghe choose, and ordered someone to go. "Pink Jing, you take the two little eunuchs to announce the princess's will."
Princess Qinghe pointed to two jasper steps and a set of pearl jewelry, and then nodded, "I want to ask carefully, if it's true, just ask her to offer the recipe." ”
Hongyao didn't speak, and she knew that Princess Lu Dao didn't want anyone to speak at this time. After finishing her makeup for a while, Princess Qinghe chose a cherry red dress, and Hongyao was serving her to change her clothes, but a little palace maid came over to probe her brain.
"Orchid, what are you looking at?" Princess Qinghe's bright eyebrows and eyes raised slightly, and she asked with a little displeasure.
"The princess is the son of the Feng family, the wind blows the snow and wants to ask to see the princess."
"Wind blowing snow? What did he have to say? Princess Qinghe sank her face, after all, she grew up in the political circle, how could she not see the weakness of the wind and snow?
"He said he wanted to confess his sins to the princess."
"Oh?" Princess Qinghe thought of the prince's words last night, but she thought about it and changed her mind, "Let him come in, hum!" See what he has to say. ”
What the wind blew and snow said, Lin Yu and the others didn't know what to say, but soon everyone was notified that the incense trial was canceled.
"This sister, what the hell is going on?"
Bai Feiruo was handsome and had a sweet mouth, and stuffed a piece of silver to the little palace maid who came to deliver the message. The palace maid smiled and said, "I'm not a princess, how can the palace maid in front of me know the way very clearly." It's just that I heard that it seems to be the princess who Feng Gongzi asked to see, and took the initiative to ask for guilt, and the princess was punished lightly for the sake of the Feng family's face. ”
"Thank you for this sister." Bai Feiruo found out about the situation and thanked him with a smile.
Seeing the palace maid leave, Qingqing Fang breathed a sigh of relief gently, "It's okay to be punished lightly, he is probably confused for a while, and it's not very good-looking to really make trouble with the Feng family." ”
However, Lin Yu remembered that the wind and snow were aggressive at that time, and he was still a little dissatisfied, "Then what should I do with the bet I made with him?" I was expecting to win 3,000 taels of silver. Three thousand taels of silver with white flowers can buy three hundred acres of good land. ”
Looking at her depressed appearance, Bai Feiruo smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be a little money fan, you are not rich with more than three thousand taels now, and you are not poor with less than three thousand taels, as for paying so much attention?" ”
"Do you know what you're worried about? It's your loose view of wealth. Lin Yu blinked, "If you want to get rich, you naturally have to pay baht, but when you should spend money, you have to use it like dirt, which is not something ordinary people can do." What's more, three thousand taels is not three taels thirty two three hundred taels, and I lost three thousand taels for nothing, how can I not feel distressed? ”
Qingqing knew that Lin Yu didn't really take the three thousand taels to heart, Lin Yu always liked to save money and make money, but he didn't take yellow and white things very seriously. It's just because the wind blows the snow that she hates, and she feels a little angry that she didn't let him bleed.
The three of them were jokingly packing up and preparing to go to the banquet, but a palace maid who was quite gorgeously dressed came with two little eunuchs.
"Miss Wen Qingqing, the princess is going to summon you." The palace maid spoke.
"I wonder what Princess Lu Dao commands?" Qingqing stepped forward and asked.
"It seems to have something to do with the Feng family's son, as well as the starfall rain you showed yesterday."
Princess Qinghe's begging for Xingluo rain was also expected by Lin Yu and Qingqing, but what is the matter with the wind and snow here? Didn't that man say something bad?
Lin Yu couldn't help but look at Qingqing with some worry, but Qingqing gave Lin Yu a reassuring look, nodded calmly, and said to the palace maid.
"When the princess summoned her, she naturally didn't dare to disobey her orders, and asked the female officer to lead the way."
Seeing that Qingqing knew etiquette quite well, the palace maid nodded and said with a smile, "Miss Wen, don't worry too much, the princess is the most gentle and reasonable person, how can she embarrass you?" ”
Qingqing nodded, and was about to step over, Lin Yu hurriedly took out an umbrella and handed it to her, "It's raining a lot outside, although there is a verandah all the way, don't forget to bring an umbrella." ”
Hearing Lin Yu's whisper in his ear, Qingqing took the umbrella and smiled slightly, pun intended, "I know it, don't worry." In fact, such a big wind and rain have passed, and I am not afraid of this light rain. ”
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and watched Qingqing leave with the palace maid.
Bai Feiruo asked curiously, "What did you say to Sister Qingqing?" She seemed to be smiling happily all at once. ”
"It's just a little bit of advice." Lin Yu smiled, then turned his head sideways and whispered in his ear, "I'm just worried that she takes the ancestral recipe too seriously." You must know that although these princes and nobles talk about it on weekdays, they really turn their faces and don't recognize them at all. ”
"Do you want me to inquire about it?" Bai Fei didn't think about it so much, but he was a lot nervous when he heard it.
"The princess has strong secret guards around her, although it may not be as good as you, but once it is alarmed, the princess will be furious, and we will not be reasonable, isn't it very unwise?" Lin Yu said softly.
"Besides, according to my inference, as long as Sister Qingqing understands current affairs, Princess Qinghe will not only not be difficult for her, but will also reward her greatly."
The two talked for a while, and then it was time for the banquet. Although it's not time to eat, there are still singing and dancing music performances before the meal.
Lin Yu doesn't know ancient music, he doesn't know whether the road is good or bad, but he just listens to the sound of Lingling, and the sound of rain outside the window is also elegant. Bai Feiruo is proficient in music, and looking at the look of appreciation on his face, it seems that Qin Ji's level is not bad. Although the music is good, but as time passed, Qingqing never came, and Lin Yu gradually became anxious and felt a little upset.
"Xiaobai, I'll go to the verandah to breathe." Lin Yu pushed Bai Feiruo and said.
"Okay, don't go too long." Bai Feiruo also knew that Lin Yu was anxious, nodded and said, "Or I'll accompany you out of the road." ”
"No, I'll just be alone." For such a period of time, because of Yu Wenyi's affairs, it was always difficult for her to calm down.
Lin Yu got up to leave, and just got out of the city, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he bumped into a palace maid, the first one was the pink crystal who went to summon Qingqing.
"It's just right, Miss Lin, the princess has something to ask you for."
"Looking for me?" Lin Yu's eyes widened in disbelief, "I don't know how to make fragrances!" ”
"It's not perfumery, it's something else, don't rub it in, don't let the princess wait."
Before Lin Yu could figure it out, the palace maid urged Lin Yu to leave.
