It seems that this smell is not something that can be washed off with ordinary soap powder, and you have to use some potion or something to wash it off. Who has such a potion? Madame Blossom may have, but not necessarily, and besides, it is not appropriate to enter the palace now. Divine Doctor Hua Shenzun must have a way? Looking for him? No way! He was about to help him take nude photos of Xiao Zhouhou himself, and he would definitely use this blackmail, and he must not let him know about this matter.

So who to look for?

Flowers without fragrance? Leng Yi's head appeared naughty and cute Hua Wuxiang, and Hua Wuxiang's words just now also came out all of a sudden. Did she mean by this to tell herself that she had a way to get rid of the scent? Otherwise, how could she say that it was fragrant as soon as she came in, and say something like that when she left, as if she knew that she would go to her.

Leng Yi hurriedly got dressed, walked out quickly, and didn't let the attendants follow, and went straight to Hua Wuxiang's residence.

Granny Hua opened the door: "The master is here?" Wuxiang is in the study, this Nizi said that you will definitely come, let me listen to the door, and it really came. ”

Leng Yi smiled awkwardly, didn't dare to get too close to Granny Hua, hurriedly entered the main hall and came to Hua Wuxiang's study. At the door, I heard the sound of Hua Wuxiang reciting poems from inside, all of which were the famous poems of later generations copied by herself. He knocked lightly on the door.

"Who?"

"It's me!"

"Brother!"

The door creaked open, and Hua Wuxiang appeared at the door, looking at him happily: "Old brother, come in!" ”

Leng Yi smiled bitterly: "What old brother, why did you give me such a name?" ”

"You're a master, and you're like my brother, that's why you're called that. ――Is there anything wrong with me? Hua Wuxiang tilted her head and smiled at him.

"You're a ghost, you knowingly asked, can you bring it quickly?"

"What?"

"Wash off the scented potion! Hurry up! I don't have time to rub shoulders with you! ”

Hua Wuxiang's mouth was deflated: "I beg people to be so powerful!" As he spoke, he picked up a porcelain bottle on the table and handed it to Leng Yi: "Just pour two or three drops and make a cup of tea in the bath water, don't pour too much, this potion is very troublesome to prepare." Not much. ”

Leng Yi was very happy to see that she was ready to put it on the table, and took it: "Thank you Miss Wuxiang!" ”

"I've called you brother, can't you call me a girl?"

"Well, well, Doctor Girl!"

"Hey!" Hua Wuxiang agreed, her face was flushed, and her eyes were shining.

Leng Yi was a little weak-hearted, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left, returned to the house, and ordered to change the bath water immediately. Those servants were a little puzzled, why did the master take a bath continuously today? I didn't dare to ask more, so I hurriedly prepared the bath water again.

Leng Yi unplugged the medicine bottle given by Hua Wuxiang and smelled it, but there was no taste. I was a little apprehensive in my heart, can such a potion get rid of this strange fragrance on my body?

I can't say it, so I can only try. He poured two or three drops of the potion into the water and stepped into the bath.

Leng Yi cleaned his body again. After soaking for almost a meal, I got up, wiped it clean, smelled it myself, and sure enough, the strange fragrance was gone. Suddenly, his heart widened, and he picked up the porcelain vase: This is really a treasure!

After putting on his robe, Leng Yi returned to the study, sniffed again, and there was no taste, but he was always a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to write, so he put down his pen, stepped out, and asked the maid under the corridor: "Where is Madame?" ”

"In Mrs. Zheng Guo's house."

Leng Yi walked to the nearby courtyard, which was Mrs. Zheng Guo's courtyard, and when he walked up the steps, he heard the laughter of Zhuo Qiaoniang and Xiao Zhouhou in the house. When the maid under the corridor saw him coming, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Master." ”

Leng Yi nodded slightly. The people in the house had already heard the conversation outside, and they hurriedly came out, and Zhuo Qiaoniang said, "Official, you are here." ”

"Well, what do you say, so happy?"

"After we finished eating, we were talking about naughty things when we were kids."

The second daughter welcomed him into the house and sat down. One left and one right sat next to him.

Xiao Zhouhou's eyes were shining, like stars in the night sky, looking at Leng Yi with a twinkle.

When she came back just now, she told Zhuo Qiaoniang that Leng Yi didn't have any smell on her body, was she mistaken? Zhuo Qiaoniang was not confident, so she also believed her explanation. Now that Leng Yi is here, Zhuo Qiaoniang smelled it again, and sure enough, there was no longer that smell on her husband's body, so she was relieved, and she felt that she was too suspicious, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Leng Yi said: "It's rare that Sister Wenying is so happy, I haven't seen each other for many days, why don't I have a drink?" ”

"Okay!" The two girls clapped their hands almost at the same time. Zhuo Qiaoniang looked at him with concern again: "The official just ate wine in the palace, and if you eat again, you won't get drunk, right?" ”

"No, I was a little tired just now, but after taking a shower, I felt much more refreshed. Just enough to eat a few more glasses. ”

"Good! The concubine instructed the kitchen to stir-fry two side dishes with wine. Zhuo Qiaoniang said happily.

Leng Yi nodded: "By the way, we have the lamb wine rewarded by the queen during the last Lantern Festival in our wine cabinet, take it and taste it." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang agreed and walked out quickly.

Xiao Zhouhou looked at him with a smile and said in a low voice: "You broke up Qiao Niang, do you want to tell me something?" ”

Leng Yi beckoned, Xiao Zhou got up and came over, looking at him with his body.

Leng Yi said softly: "Is there still a taste?" ”

Xiao Zhouhou leaned up, sniffed at Leng Yi's neck and cheeks, shook his head, and said, "He is worthy of being a master of solving the case, there is no trace at all." - I heard that the strange fragrance on Madame Blossom will not dissipate for seven or eight days, how did you do it? ”

"Mountain people have their own tricks!"

"Humph!" Xiao Zhouhou chuckled, "I'm still worried that you won't be able to deal with the official family, it seems that I'm too worried." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, otherwise it would be really troublesome!"

Xiao Zhou said: "You have to really listen to me." - He just didn't listen to me back then, so he ...... Alas! Xiao Zhouhou remembered the past with Li Yu, and couldn't help but feel a deep sadness again, "I don't know how he is now, whether there is anyone to take care of him." ”

Leng Yi said: "Don't worry, there are several former concubines taking care of him, and Prince Qi has already said hello." There should be no problem, don't worry. ”

"Yes," Xiao Zhouhou looked at Leng Yi, "If it weren't for you this time, he wouldn't be able to get what he wanted, and you really can't repay your kindness to our husband and wife." ”

"You said that this is also the outside," Leng Yi smiled: "You also helped me a lot, such as this time, if you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would have caused a big disaster." ”

"No, with your ingenuity, there is no obstacle that you can't pass. But I, an unknown person, live with you, brother, and cause you a lot of trouble. ”

"What's the trouble, being able to see a great beauty like Sister Wenying every day is also something that my brother and I are fortunate to have in my third life, and I can't ask for it."

Xiao Zhouhou's white jade-like face instantly rose two blushes, glanced at Leng Yi, and whispered shyly: "Brother, your love for the little sister, the little sister already knows, it's just that the little sister already belongs in this life, and I only want to ......."

At this moment, I heard the sound of footsteps outside, Zhuo Qiaoniang came back, and Xiao Zhouhou hurriedly turned around to pour tea.

Leng Yi's words just now are just casual words of praise from young people now, such praise, when it is said to women in modern society, it is only a polite joke, at most it is just a thank you, there will be no other ideas, let alone any love already expressed. But in the ears of ancient women, it was either a frivolous word, or a sincere confession. In Xiao Zhouhou's opinion, Leng Yi will naturally not be lighter than her, that is, he really likes her. I can't help but rejoice and sorrow at the same time. I didn't know how to respond, but it happened that Zhuo Qiaoniang came back, so I took the opportunity to turn around and make tea, and I still felt that my face was scarlet.

Zhuo Qiaoniang didn't pay attention to her abnormality, just hugged a small jar of wine and giggled and said to Leng Yi: "Official, you said you want lamb wine, last time the queen gave a lot of wine, but this wine bottle is written in seal style, the concubine can't read a word, and she took it wrong, so she had to call the grass spike, and then she recognized it." It's funny. ”

Lamb wine, also called lamb wine, is a kind of imperial wine in the Song Dynasty, made with rice and mutton, because the mutton with the hot surname is hot, so it is most suitable for drinking in winter. Many literati and writers like this kind of wine, and the great writer Su Dongpo has a poem: "Try Kaiyun Dream Lamb Wine, and quickly Wash the Qiantang Medicine Jade Boat"

Leng Yi took the small jar of wine, patted open the mud seal, and a smell of wine poured out, which made people feel refreshed. Sigh: "Good wine! What an agar jade liquor! Come! Let's drink three glasses first! ”

Xiao Zhouhou turned around, already holding two cups of tea in his hand, and said angrily: "Brother, eat tea first, the snacks haven't been served yet, it's not good to eat wine on an empty stomach!" ”

"Who's on an empty stomach? I've eaten it, and you've just eaten it. And no matter what kind of snacks he has, in the face of such good wine, the wine worm in my stomach will not agree. If you have wine, what kind of tea to drink, bring a wine glass! ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled at Xiao Zhouhou and said, "Just obey him." ”

As soon as she heard this, Xiao Zhouhou's heart couldn't help pounding, as if she had already heard what she had just said. Hurriedly answered, put down the tea, and brought the wine glass and wine cup.

Leng Yi was about to pour the wine glass into the wine jar while holding it, and Xiao Zhouhou slapped him lightly: "Look at you, a Sven person, how can you eat wine and hold the jar and sift wine like a peddler?" And he took the cup, and put it under the mouth of the altar.

Leng Yi smiled, hugged the jar and slowly poured the wine into the wine cup. Then he put down the jar and took the cup and poured it into the glass. But he was lightly beaten by Xiao Zhouhou: "I haven't warmed the wine yet, what's the hurry!" Eating cold wine will hurt the internal organs. ”

Leng Yi said: "What are you doing so much? ”

"Brother, you are close to our sisters if you don't talk about being a pie, but your poetry is famous all over the world, and you will eat wine with that Confucian ink artist in the future, but you don't talk about Sven, but if you want to lose face, your little sister can't look at it. Now you have to change your words and deeds that can't be put on the stage! ”

Leng Yi looked at Zhuo Qiaoniang with a smile. Zhuo Qiaoniang said: "Just listen to my sister, officials are officials in the court, but they can't compare to Yinling County, and you have to talk about what you should put on." My sister used to be a queen, I don't know what kind of pomp and circumstance it is, listen to her. ”

Leng Yi said: "Okay, then listen to the two of you." Warm wine. ”

Xiao Zhou walked to the closet, opened the cabinet, took out an antique bronze wine set, and put it on the table.

This wine warmer is more than a foot high, cast in bronze, with hollowed-out triangular feet on the lower layer, carved into the shape of an ancient beast. The second layer is a small copper box that can be pulled out, which is heated by charcoal fire, and then the upper layer is a deep concave vessel containing water, and various patterns are engraved inside and outside, such as mandarin ducks playing in the water, cranes and auspicious clouds, birds and animals.

Xiao Zhou took out the charcoal box, put a few pieces of charcoal from the charcoal stove and put it in, and then took the kettle and poured hot water into the wine pool above. Then he put two cups full of wine into the hot water and said, "It's done!" ”

Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiaoniang were very surprised, Leng Yi does not use wine warmers in modern society, and drink bottle wine directly, although Zhuo Qiaoniang has seen it, but there have never been many such exquisite and simple wine warmers. The things in this house were all brought from the Southern Tang Dynasty when Li Yu and his wife returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was located in the rich Jiangnan Province, so naturally there were many good things.

Xiao Zhou Hou said: "This bronze wine warmer is an antiquity, it is something from the Shang and Zhou dynasties!" Legend has it that the king of Shang and his concubine Daji used this wine warmer to eat wine in the wine pond meat forest. ”

Leng Yi smiled: "So powerful? I heard that Nadaji was a thousand-year-old fox demon, unparalleled in beauty, and was ordered by Nuwa to bewitch the king of Shang, which eventually led to the demise of the Shang Dynasty. ”

Xiao Zhou Hou said strangely: "Daji is a thousand-year-old fox demon? How I didn't know! ”

Daji really has its own people in history, but before the Song Dynasty, it was not as bad as it was later described, and the legend that Daji was a thousand-year-old fox demon came from the novel "Romance of the Gods" in the Ming Dynasty, and it was naturally impossible for the Song Dynasty to know about it. However, during the Song Dynasty, the fall of the Shang Dynasty had already been blamed on the disaster of Daji. "Romance of the Gods" is just more image and more demonized.

Leng Yi may have had nothing to say in order to hide the embarrassment just now, and said: "This is right, I heard the old man in the village say when I was a child, and said that Daji was later caught by Jiang Ziya, and the executioner on the execution ground held a knife to kill her, but because she was so beautiful, the executioner was so fascinated that he cried bitterly, and would rather wipe his neck and commit suicide than cut off her head." As a last resort, Jiang Ziya used a magic weapon to make her appear, and sacrificed the Immortal Flying Knife to cut off her head. ”

Xiao Zhouhou's eyes widened: "Is there really such a thing?" How I haven't heard of it. - Girl, have you heard of it? Xiao Zhou looked at Zhuo Qiaoniang.

In ancient times, the only way to spread information was books, and word of mouth was nothing more than some folk tales, Zhuo Qiaoniang didn't know much, basically couldn't read smoothly, and didn't read much, and there was no fox woman named Daji in the stories she heard, so she didn't even know who Daji was, so she shook her head busily.
