Chapter 113: Happy to see
The jasmine pollen of Baixiang Zhai is white and fine, and as soon as you open the lid, a pleasant fragrance comes to your nose.
Wei Han leaned over and asked, "Is this the case?" ”
Xia Chen wasn't sure, because the smell left on the lock was very light, it was jasmine, but it wasn't necessarily the fragrance of jasmine powder.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with excellent maintenance, who has been in the fat powder pile for a long time, and his behavior and speech have become a little feminine. When he saw that Xia Chen and the others were only interested in jasmine powder, he listened to Wei Han's words, pursed his lips and smiled: "The two sons seem to just want to buy jasmine powder, so it's the right place to come to the shop, the signature of the shop is this kind of jasmine powder, which can make the skin as white as snow and fragrant all over the body after a long time." ”
Wei Han pulled the corners of his mouth: "It really has such a magical effect?" Or are you boasting about yourself? ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "It's not a villain's boast, you can try it if you don't believe it, other jasmine powder is never so white and fine, and the fragrance is never as long-lasting as that of a small shop, and it will not disperse for two or three hours." Seeing that Xia Chen hadn't put down the powder box, he must have been a little tempted, and continued: "Don't say that the daughters in the south of the city like jasmine powder and buy it in a small shop, and the palace has to order dozens of boxes every month." ”
Xia Chen thought for a while: "Tell me which daughters like to use this powder, if you can say it, I will buy ten boxes." As soon as she heard that the powder had a long-lasting fragrance, she felt that she was in the right place, and decided to inquire more carefully, and when looking for clues, anything could be discovered.
The shopkeeper said: "Childe, if you want to buy ten boxes, you really have to wait, the small store only has six boxes left, and it will not be replenished until the third day of the first month of next month." ”
Wei Han said: "This is out of stock?" Is this powder really so good, or maybe you haven't bought much in the first place? ”
The shopkeeper said: "I look at the two sons, I don't think they live in the south of the city, so I haven't heard that the two daughters of General Xia's Mansion are going to leave the cabinet, right?" The two sisters always ask for four boxes of powder every month, and yesterday they sent someone to pick up sixteen boxes. He also said that he would also have sixteen boxes next month. ”
Xia Chen was a little surprised: "If you get married, you will get married, what do you want so many fans for?" Is it finished? "They don't eat it in their faces, do they?
The shopkeeper smiled meaningfully: "Didn't the two sons buy this powder to give to the beauty?" I didn't know that after bathing with this powder, the skin on the whole body would be as white as tofu in less than two months. ”
Xia Chen and Wei Han glanced at each other, and their thoughts were exactly the same-what a luxury! Although this compact is not small, it needs to be wiped all over the body, and it is too much to say that one box can be used two or three times.
And Xia Chen listened to the shopkeeper's words, and thought that this matter was definitely related to Xia Mansion. The daughter of another family is still the imperial concubine in the palace, and the palace master can't fight with himself. She covered the powder box in her hand and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Two boxes and one for me." ”
"Okay. a total of thirty taels of silver. The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Wei Han whispered in Xia Chen's ear: "A small box of powder costs five taels of silver." I have to use several boxes a month, which is really expensive for women. ”
Xia Chen glanced at him: "You have to drink a few dozen taels of flower wine, right?" plus a night of spring * supper, I am afraid that it is not enough to have a hundred and ten taels. Dare to say that women cost money! ”
Wei Han touched his nose: "After all, my money is not for women to spend." ”
"Isn't that what you'd like?"
Wei Han shrugged his shoulders: "I'm just putting on a show." ”
Xia Chen pouted: "Okay, I have already admitted that I am lustful, what is there to be wronged." ”
The shopkeeper handed the wrapped powder box to Xia Chen: "Childe, do you need anything else?" The ...... of the small shop"
"Not at the moment." Xia Chen interrupted him and took out three silver tickets of ten taels and handed them to him.
Leave Baixiang Zhai. Wei Han smiled and asked, "Don't you only have two cousins?" Why did you wrap three copies, is it true that you want to give it to which beauty? ”
Xia Chen's eyes glared: "The lustful person is really hopeless." I can't hold anything else in my mind but a woman. ”
"Ahh Why am I so, are these two boxes of powder you pack for men? Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly say: "Is it Bi Xiao or Jin Se?" Or is it the purple flute? ”
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Xia Chen kicked him in the calf, turned and jumped into the carriage.
Wei Han rubbed his calves and muttered, "The gods are mysterious, really!" "I saw that Xia Chen had let the coachman go. He hurriedly got on his horse and followed: "Where are you going now?" ”
Xia Chen lifted the curtains: "Go to the Gongyuan to pick up Brother Lu, and then go to your friend's residence." ”
"Oh."
When I came to the gate of the Gongyuan, I saw many students discussing something in twos and threes. Everyone looks depressed, obviously not doing well in the exam.
Xia Chen was searching for Lu Qi's figure. But seeing Qin Guijie walking out of the gate with a proud face, Gao Gongzi, who was waiting at the door, immediately greeted him, the two whispered a few words, laughed and got into the carriage and left.
followed by Xia Huaiyong and Xia Huaiying, although these two were not as arrogant as Qin Guijie, they were also happy, and they obviously did well in the exam.
Yueniang glanced at it: "Chen'er, I see that these two brothers seem to have done well in the exam." ”
Xia Chen snorted lightly: "You only saw that they did well in the exam, didn't you notice that everyone else was depressed?" ”
Yueniang looked at it for a while: "Yes, what's going on?" ”
At this time, Xia Chen saw Lu Qi, but seeing that the two brothers of the Xia family had not left yet, she whispered to Wei Han: "Brother Wei, it's the one in the green shirt, you go and pick him up." ”
"Hmm." Wei Han nodded and walked towards Lu Qi, who looked dazed and lost.
Lu Qi got into the carriage and smiled bitterly: "Chen'er, how did you do in the exam?" This time, I am known as Luosun Mountain again. ”
Xia Chen smiled slightly: "I didn't take the exam at all, otherwise I would be the same as Brother Lu." ”
Lu Qi looked surprised: "What?" You didn't take the test? But something was delayed. ”
Xia Chen nodded: "Even if it's it." ”
Lu Qi comforted her and said, "You are still young, and there are still many opportunities. ”
Xia Chen shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I'm not here." Brother Lu doesn't have to worry too much, there may be unexpected changes. ”
Lu Qi was stunned: "Why did Chen'er say this?" ”
Xia Chen said meaningfully: "I guess that no matter the quality of the article in this children's test, there are no more than ten people who can answer the test questions." That's what she's happy to see.
Lu Qi was even more puzzled: "Chen'er, you didn't go to the exam, how can you know?" ”
Xia Chen smiled mysteriously: "The so-called bystander Qing, I see that these students are all full of sadness, I think they didn't answer like Brother Lu, Anyang City is still like this, and other counties can be imagined." "From the infrastructure to the level of Mr., Anyang is definitely better than other places.
She believes that when the list is unveiled three days later, it will be a day when some people are happy and sad. (To be continued) R466
