Chapter 167: Secret Incense (Part 3)
The Guangping Marquis Mansion in the first month is very lively, and there are many New Year's gifts and prayers, although it is not as full of friends as other powerful people's mansions, but it is also a gathering of distant relatives and neighbors, and the house is so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, and even the Chen family, who was sent to take care of Sister Ping, has come out to take care of Sister Ping, only Shen Ruohua's Qiongbi courtyard is clear and quiet, and no one dares to disturb.

Mama Xia came in with a gift slip and sent it to Shen Ruohua: "Lady, this is a New Year's gift from Xu Yanshi's Mansion in Xizhi Hutong, saying that she will invite her to sit in the house in a few days." ”
Shen Ruohua counted the time, and it was time to send medicine to Xu Liu's family, because of her medication these days, Xu Liu's chest paralysis has been greatly improved, originally the imperial doctor said that he was afraid that he would not be able to survive the winter, but now he is fine, I am afraid that there will be nothing important this year, and it is no wonder that Xu Liu's house is always thinking about his side.
She smiled and looked at the list in her hand, which was not shabby, with gold silk inlaid with treasure dots and cui shuangluan heads, a pair of black jade paperweights, and a set of Hetian jasper ornaments...... This can be regarded as a valuable thing even in the Guangping Marquis Mansion, but Xu Mian actually took it as a New Year's gift to her, which shows that he didn't take it to heart. Shen Ruohua closed the gift list, shook his head and chuckled, Jinyiwei is really powerful, and a small four-grade person is afraid that he has already made a fortune, and even a princely family like the Guangping Marquis Mansion can't compare, not to mention that Jinyiwei is the commander of such a status, I'm afraid it's even more unbelievable.
She has been in the palace for so many years, so she naturally knows what kind of people Jinyiwei is, but she is willing to cooperate with Xu Mian, not only because she knows Xu Liu's illness, but also because Xu Mian is a bit bloody and conscientious compared to other Jinyiwei officials. Maybe there will be more things for him to do in the future, and it would be good to move around a lot for now.
Shen Ruohua smiled: "Go and halve this list, prepare a New Year's gift for me and send it to Xu Yanshi's mansion." They know to be grateful, and she will not be rude.
She remembered it and asked Mama Xia: "Wang Fusheng hasn't come to the house these days, the pharmacy has been arranged, when can it open?" ”
Mama Xia said with a smile: "I heard that everything is in order, I bought medicinal materials according to the list given by the lady, and the shop is all cleaned up, just waiting for the New Year to open." She frowned, "It's just...... Is there really no need to invite Lang Zhong to sit in the hall? Shen Ruohua only instructed people to buy medicinal materials, clean up the pharmacy, and selected a few servants from Zhuangzi to be medicine boys, but he didn't tell Lang Zhong to be invited, how could the pharmacy be opened without Lang Zhong sitting in the hall?
Shen Ruohua shook her head and pursed her lips and smiled: "No need." "Her pharmacy is different from others, specializing in treating incurable diseases, and this Langzhong is naturally herself.
Xia Mama didn't know, she looked at her lady in a daze, shook her head, and didn't ask again, she didn't dare to ask more in the past, but now she feels that she doesn't need to ask, what the lady said must not be wrong, these many times are not called the lady's right?
Yao Tao came in with bird's nest soup, and saw that Shen Ruohua was looking at the medicine book, and gently put the bowl in front of her: "Lady use it while it's hot." "Shen Ruohua's body has already recovered, the decoction has stopped, and he only uses some nourishing things to nourish his body.
Shen Ruohua nodded, reached out to take the bowl of bird's nest, picked it up and scooped a small spoonful and was about to send it to his mouth, but he suddenly frowned and said, "What does this smell like?" ”
Her face was a little solemn, and she was startled, and hurriedly took the bowl and looked at it carefully: "Is this bowl of bird's nest soup right?" "Since Fang Xing's affair was made, Qingmei and Yao Tao have been making noise all day long, and they are afraid that someone will do something to Shen Ruohua's food and use under their noses.
It's just that where she can see something, she is even more anxious, and hurriedly turns around to leave: "The maid went to ask Liu Er's house!" "If there are still people who do anything, then the small kitchen can't get rid of it.
Shen Ruohua shook her head and called her: "It's not bird's nest soup, it's the aroma, this aroma is not quite right." She stared at the outside room outside the hanging bead curtain and frowned: "But the spices have changed?" "Usually she used benzoin, but the fragrance on the outside was not a quiet benzoin fragrance, but instead a sweet fragrance, which made people feel a little stuffy after smelling it for a long time.
Yao Tao was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered, and hurriedly said: "It's the mother-in-law who went to buy today, saying that the strange thing that sells foreign things has been bought out of benzoin yesterday, and there is no inventory, and it just so happens that the Hou Mansion sent some Baohe incense, which was used." She understood, and hurriedly opened the curtain and went outside, "It must be that this incense is wrong, and the maid will pour it out." ”
Shen Ruohua walked out and watched Yao Tao open the incense burner, inside was a small part of the incense tower that had just been burned, it was really not the benzoin she used in the past, these incense towers looked dark brown in color, and when she approached and asked, the sweet and greasy taste was even heavier, which made people frown, the fragrance was too strong, and it was a little unusual.
She leaned over to carefully inspect the remaining incense pagoda and the incense ashes that fell into the incense burner, smelled the fragrance again, and suddenly her face changed slightly, and she instructed Yao Tao: "Pour water on this lit incense pagoda and bury it." Seeing her serious face, Yao Tao didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly went out with the incense burner.
Mama Xia and Qingmei listened to Yao Tao's words, and hurriedly entered the side room, and said with anxious faces: "Lady, this is ...... But what do some people want to do? ”
Shen Ruohua sneered and pointed to the Baohe incense sent by the Hou Mansion on the table: "This is the Baohe incense sent by the Hou Mansion today, do you see what's wrong?" ”
Xia Mama and Qingmei looked at it carefully for a while, but they couldn't see anything, they all looked up at Shen Ruohua with a puzzled face, Shen Ruohua said lightly: "It's not strange if you can't see it, this incense tower is very good, if it weren't for the fragrance that is a little wrong after lighting it, I can't see any clues." "If it weren't for the fact that she was familiar with all kinds of medicinal materials when she was in the palace, in order to prevent those private things in the palace, she also knew all kinds of spices well, but I am afraid that this time she would have been tricked.
Seeing her ugly face, Mama Xia was also startled, and hurriedly said, "Lady, what's wrong with this spice?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with spices," Shen Ruohua said coldly, "It's just that there are other personal things in it, and it still harms my life." "The spice is mixed with a secret fragrance, the most sweet and greasy, even drunk after a long time, often used as a powder, if swallowed more five stone powder general psychedelic effect, but if this fragrance smells for a long time, but it is extremely alive blood, if there is a small hole on the body, it will bleed more than half drunk and half awake and lose his life, so this secret fragrance has an elegant name "drunk dream". Unexpectedly, someone mixed this secret incense into the incense tower of Baohe incense and sent it to her room.
