Chapter 116: Different
Wang Xi was very happy to receive the incense recipe.
Everyone wants their kindness to be understood.
She looked at it carefully, handed over the incense recipe to Baizhu for safekeeping, and said to Baizhu: "Angelica Angelica is the most ingenious, you are the smartest, there is an incense recipe called 'Cun Jin', it is said that the incense can be condensed but not dispersed after it is burned out, the fragrance is elegant and indifferent, and it can also calm the mind and clear the brain." When we have free time, we might as well try to follow the recipe and see if it is as the book says. If it's really good, you can also use it to give it to relatives and friends or something. ”
There are more than 20 kinds of incense recipes in the incense recipe collection alone, each of which is said to have a different fragrance, Baizhu likes to read, and when he saw Haitao sending someone to send the incense recipe set, he couldn't wait to see it, Wang Xi said this, it was in her arms, how could she not agree.
When Mama Wang and Mrs. Tai agreed, Chang Ke's mother also agreed, and when they were about to leave for Yunju Temple to stay for a few days to cool off, everyone was packing up the cages, but Baizhu hid aside to study the incense recipe. Fortunately, everyone knows her temperament, Wang Xi also connived at her, everyone laughed, while letting Baizhu be lazy, and when they settled in Yunju Temple, Baizhu had prepared the ingredients for making incense, just waiting for Wang Xi's words, you can start making incense.
Wang Xi originally took a fancy to the trees of Yunju Temple, which was cool and quiet, but such places usually have a lot of mosquitoes. Wang Xi is the most afraid of mosquitoes, when Mama Wang took someone to burn mugwort, she studied with Baizhu what incense was more convenient and interesting, she wanted to take advantage of this time in Yunju Temple to find something to do.
Chang Ke is also interested in making incense, and the three of them often sit together to discuss.
Wang Xi likes strange incense, Baizhu likes incense with a lot of ingredients, but Chang Ke has a soft spot for incense recipes that can smoke clothes.
A couple of people bought a whole bunch of spices.
When the big shopkeeper came to deliver spices to Wang Xi, he also told her the news that the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion had not been able to borrow a century-old ginseng from the Qingyun Marquis Mansion, so she begged Jimin Hall. Dr. Feng went to the second wife of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion to check the pulse, and found that she was just because she did not take good care of the postpartum when she was young, and she fell into confinement disease.
Wang Xi laughed when he heard this. When he walked along the path around the guest room in the temple with Chang Ke at night, he talked about it, and even said narrowly: "I don't know if Chang Yan will ask the big shopkeeper in my name." ”
If she really dared to do this, Wang Xi admired her as a heroine, and was willing to find a way to help her get a century-old ginseng to fulfill her wish.
Chang Ke was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and he didn't dare to say uncertainly: "Don't say it, don't look at her usual quiet and gentle appearance, she is really a person who does this kind of thing." ”
Wang Xi was shocked when he heard this, and saw that there was a long stone bench by the side of the grove next to him, so he simply pulled Chang Ke to sit down and urged Chang Ke to tell Chang Yan's story.
"We were young, and my grandfather was still alive." Chang Ke put the gilded hollow chrysanthemum delicate ball prepared by Mama Wang for them to repel mosquitoes, and then said slowly, "Uncle Thirteen's biological mother is my grandfather's favorite concubine. Although he is an elder, he is only three years older than his eldest sister, and he is a boy, relying on his biological mother to be favored, and often bullying us girls. Once, he threw two caterpillars on the big sister's body, which scared her so much that she cried. ”
Speaking of this, she probably thought of the scene at that time, and couldn't help but sigh.
The eldest uncle sued his grandmother, but the grandmother could not be the master, so she had to call the concubine to teach her a lesson. It didn't take long for the news to reach my grandfather's ears. I don't know what the messenger said, but my grandfather suddenly ordered that our sisters should not wander around the garden anymore, saying that girls should be chaste and quiet, and should not run around, and found a grandmother from the palace to teach us the rules.
"Although we were helpless, we didn't dare to say anything.
Who knew that the third sister ran to find her grandfather alone, and said that she had been growing up for a long time, and she actually said that she had moved her grandfather. The grandfather not only took back his fate, but also restrained the boys in the family and did not allow them to play in the back garden. ”
Wang Xi's eyes were shining when he heard this.
Chang Ke sighed: "When we heard that when she went to find her grandfather's theory, our legs trembled with fright, and we couldn't even tell the second aunt clearly, but I didn't expect the third sister to succeed and persuade my grandfather to return to the orchid garden unscathed, we all admired her too much."
"That's why she doesn't talk much, but we don't dare to underestimate her."
Wang Xi touched his chin after listening, thinking about whether to help Chang Ke, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a small head poking out from behind the thick tree not far away.
It was a little boy who was white and soft, dressed in a small blue muslin robe, and looked no more than four or five years old.
Apparently hiding behind a tree to watch them.
Children at this time are especially interesting.
Wang Xi's heart softened when he saw it, he waved at him with a smile, and touched his purse to see what snacks he brought out today.
Who knew that when the little boy saw her beckoning, his head shrank back in fright.
Who can withstand such a well-behaved and shy child?!
Wang Xi immediately opened the purse, looked at the two snow-white pear cakes inside, and said in a loud voice: "Ouch, the delicious pear cake is made of pear juice and glutinous rice flour, which is fragrant and sweet, but unfortunately I have bad teeth and can't eat it." Don't know who you can give it to? ”
The little boy stuck out his head just as Wang Xi thought.
However, unlike the lively and cute little boys Wang Xi knew, he timidly stretched out his head slowly, and after sticking out his head, he bit his index finger greedily, and that cute appearance made Wang Xi's heart crisp.
Chang Ke found Wang Xi's strange appearance, and saw the child by chance, and liked it very much, knowing that Wang Xi was coaxing the child, she also became an accomplice, and also found out her purse, took two pieces of nest silk candy, and said: "I still have delicious sugar here." This sugar is not ordinary sugar, and it is also filled with pine nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, and almonds...... Lots of nuts. I don't usually take it out. ”
The child could not resist the temptation and temptation, and slowly came out from behind the tree, and stood in front of them with a big tilted head and looked at them without speaking.
Only then did Wang Xi realize that this child was surprisingly exquisite.
The hair was jet black, the skin was snow-white, the eyes were actually brownish-black, and the outline was far deeper than that of the average child.
Is this a child of the Yi tribe?
But where are the Yi tribes around here?
Wang Xi remained silent.
Although she had seen the children of the Yi tribe, these children were often ridiculed, ridiculed, and feared as aliens because they looked different.
But their family also does business with the Yi tribe, red hair, green eyes, blue eyes, she has seen them all.
She regarded this child as an ordinary child, smiled and took a piece of pear cake and handed it to him, saying, "If you eat my pear cake, you must be good friends with me!" ”
The child smiled embarrassedly, didn't pick up her pear cake, and turned and ran.
Wang Xi couldn't cry or laugh.
Chang Ke said: "This child is really interesting, and he looks good, but it's a little strange, it seems to be a little different from ordinary children." Is there any illness to recuperate here? I've seen people with skin all over their bodies as if they were stained with paint, and it's very scary. ”
Although this child is not like this, it always makes her feel different from her.
Wang Xi thought that maybe they would meet this child in the future, rather than Chang Ke knowing the frightened gaffe and hurting the child's self-esteem, it was better to tell her as soon as possible, and let her decide whether to contact the child or not, and tell her about the difference of this child.
Chang Ke was very surprised, but he didn't feel particularly bad, and said distressedly: "Maybe someone from the family is curious, and a Yi woman gave birth to this child, but it was regarded as ominous by the family and thrown into the Yunju Temple to fend for itself." It is the adults who do evil, and the children who suffer. ”
She was furious.
Wang Xi smiled, thinking that such Chang Ke was very cute.
Chang Ke also said: "Do we want to inquire whose child it is, if we meet it again in the future, we can take a hand, right?" It's good that he can grow up peacefully. ”
Wang Xi also meant this, and when he went back, he asked Mama Wang to help inquire.
Mama Wang took a lot of effort, but she didn't find out that there was such a child in the temple.
Just as Wang Xi and Chang Ke were about to give up, they met the child again on the walking path.
The child was holding a box, and the box contained a few pieces of Gui Shunzhai's peach cake, and he said to them softly and glutinously: "Sister, I, I will exchange pear cakes with you to eat." ”
Ouch! Ouch!
Wang Xi and Chang Ke were so cute that their voices were a little lighter, and they squatted down to pick up the child's peach cake, and said softly: "What's my brother's name?" We didn't bring pear cake today. Do you want to go with us where you live? In addition to pear cakes, we also have poria cakes, rose cakes, and Wufu cakes...... Whatever you want to eat? ”
I didn't think that the child would take a few steps back when he heard this, looked at them vigilantly, and said, "I, I won't change it!" "After that, I have to run again.
Chang Ke hugged the child and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we also live here, if you don't believe it, you can take us to meet the elders of your family first......"
But before she could finish her sentence, the little child screamed in horror.
Although Wang Xi was a little surprised, he was not surprised.
This child has encountered a lot of things at a glance, if it weren't for their pear cakes that attract him too much, and the two little girls, who don't seem to have any malice, this child would not have been able to exchange pastries with them even if he was greedy.
"Drop him!" Wang Xi was afraid of scaring the child, so he hurriedly said to Chang Ke, "Look at what you have to give to this child." He was afraid that he had been bullied by others in the past. ”
No matter how fast she reacted, she was still a step slower. Before her words fell, a tall man suddenly popped up next to her, snatched the child without saying anything, and kicked Chang Ke fiercely.
