Chapter Eighty-Three: Aroma

Because Xiao Mingche was unwilling to help, Li Fengming's purchase of the small building in Dongshi was temporarily put on hold.

In fact, she can grind hard with the owner of the house in Naxia and try to talk about other conditions.

But after all, the owner of Xia Guo and her are strangers who met in Pingshui, unlike Xiao Mingche, who has a relatively close interest relationship with her.

She was afraid that if she said too much, she would lose, and she didn't want to make extraneous branches, so she could only think of another idea first.

So I asked Aunt Jiang to accompany me and went to Yongjing Nanfang to see other houses.

When he was close to applying, Li Fengming, who had been out for most of the day, returned in a huff.

The sun was just right, and the afternoon breeze was warm, so she asked people to fetch some tea fruits, and called Xin Wei and Chun Yudai to sit down at the small stone table in front of the flower wall.

"There is no shop in Nanfang that suits His Highness's wishes?" Chun Yudai was ordered to stay in the morning to help Zhan Kaiyang sort out the papermaking, and did not go out with him.

But when she looked at Li Fengming's listless appearance, she probably guessed the result.

Li Fengming held his cheek with his right hand and served tea with his left hand, so depressed that he didn't want to speak for the time being.

Xin Wei explained to Chun Yudai, "There are two suitable places, but people's business is booming, and they don't mean to sell shops." ”

"So, it has to be that small building in the East Market?"

After Chun Yudai pondered for a while, he cautiously suggested, "Your Highness, in the morning, King Huai asked someone to ask when you will be back, as if you have something to talk about." Perhaps, you can take the opportunity to negotiate with him again? ”

Xin Wei objected in a low voice, "If King Huai refuses again, where will His Highness's face go?" In my opinion, it's better to hold off. It's a big deal to wait for half a year and a year, how can there be a suitable shop to sell, right? ”

The business of Qi is prosperous, in addition to its own merchants, there are many merchants from various countries who come and go in Yongjing City, such as carp crossing the river.

In Xin Wei's opinion, as long as you are patient and willing to spend more time waiting, you can always buy a shop that is satisfactory in all aspects.

It's a pity that Xin Wei hasn't understood too much, Li Fengming can't afford to wait.

She stared at the flower wall and smiled lazily and bitterly, "Xin Wei, guess why I am in a hurry to save money?" ”

"Didn't you say that you would save money to 'patrol' the world's beautiful men? Bluff me? "In a way, Xin Wei is an honest person.

There was no need for Li Fengming to say anything, Chun Yudai had no choice but to look at her.

"Fool. Even if His Highness has three points of playfulness, he will not really just toss around for this little thing. ”

Since they have all come to the point of wanting to save their lives with their relatives, how could Li Fengming not want to have a peaceful birthday?

But she couldn't just look at the peace and comfort in front of her. God knows how long days like this can last.

If the situation in the Wei Dynasty changes, and she is not ready to run away, don't expect the Qi Kingdom to do its best to protect a princess who comes from a foreign country to make peace.

Li Fengming lowered his eyelashes to hide the thoughts at the bottom of his eyes, and drank the hot tea in the cup.

"I'll go and ask Xiao Mingche again. If he still doesn't agree to help today, then I'll ask for another tomorrow. ”

There is nothing important in the world except death. Between face and life, she chooses the latter.

Before coming to Qi, she had taught her grandmother to Li Fengming to "teach her face-to-face", and she herself had read several books similar to "Yinghua Baojian".

So she is not completely ignorant of the "huh-huh" thing between men and women.

Although the accident in the carriage yesterday made her embarrassed, embarrassed, embarrassed, and at a loss, she was not even embarrassed to tell Chun Yudai and Xin Wei.

But now, after one night and half a day, she can forcibly suppress the awkwardness in her heart.

It's not that she's so arrogant, just because the person who met her was Xiao Mingche, it was easier to accept.

After all, when she chose to be married, she came with the tragic mood of "donating her body to save herself".

If Xiao Mingche hadn't happened to be unwilling to be married to her, what should have happened would have happened a long time ago.

Xiao Mingche is not a prodigal son by nature, and he has a shadow on her type of appearance, and he should have just accidentally touched it yesterday.

Li Fengming persuaded himself in his heart as he walked.

Small things, big problems. He is jealous of my appearance, and if he accidentally touches me, he will suffer.

Hmm, I'm pretty happy with his looks, big deal, I'll touch him later?

Although he knew that Xiao Mingche would never let her touch it, but imagining that he was "moving his hands and feet" on his chest, and he was frightened on the spot, Li Fengming was suddenly not embarrassed.

Even a little schadenfreude.

It's a pity that when he arrived in the North Courtyard, Xiao Mingche was not there.

The waiter said, "There is a guest coming to the door in the afternoon, and His Highness should still be in the front hall at this time." If the princess is in a hurry......"

Since Xiao Mingche was entertaining guests in the front hall, Li Fengming couldn't let people urge him indiscriminately.

"Don't worry," she said to the maid who came with her, "Pearl, you stay here." When Your Highness returns, you will go back next door and inform me. ”

Zhu'er Fu should be, "Yes, Niangniang." ”

After explaining, Li Fengming went back to the next door to do his own business.

Chun Yudai took all the recipes according to her instructions, and called Xin Wei.

The three of them brainstormed and roughly screened out a batch of fragrance powder grease formulas that were easy to obtain and suitable for rapid mass production.

"Xin Wei, from tomorrow, you will go to the market every day to find a reliable business that can supply materials for a long time. Chunyu, you ......"

After arranging a few things, Zhu'er came and said that Xiao Mingche had returned to the north courtyard from the front hall.

Li Fengming put down what he was doing, didn't bring any more people, and went to the north courtyard alone.

Xiao Mingche heard that Li Fengming had come to look for him, and saw that Zhu'er had gone to the next door to invite her, so he stayed in the courtyard and waited.

Originally, he could have gone into the study and waited.

But there has always been that fragrance in the study today that makes him impetuous.

He was afraid that if he let Li Fengming into the study later, the fragrance would be even stronger, and maybe it wouldn't be able to disperse until tomorrow.

So he stood in front of the peony bush in the courtyard with his hands in his hands.

Recently, the weather has been warm, and these peonies have been scorching and blooming.

In the past, Xiao Mingche didn't pay much attention to the trivial matters in the house, but at this moment, after taking a closer look, he found that these peonies have different colors and appearances.

Among them, the one known as "drunken scarlet" is the most eye-catching.

The color of this flower is light silver-red, gorgeous and rich, and there is a bit of free and easy flowing wind. When the sun shines on the flowers, it presents a scene of jade smiling pearls.

Strange, how do you look more and more familiar?

Xiao Mingche looked away uncomfortably, and when he looked up, he saw Li Fengming coming to the light.

He felt inexplicably palpitating in his heart, and immediately knew why he felt familiar when he looked at those "drunken scarlets".

The little embarrassment of yesterday immediately floated in his mind, and Xiao Mingche was very uncomfortable and half-lowered his eyes, forcing himself to calm down.

If it is strictly in accordance with the rules of the Qi State, even in the Huai Wang's Mansion, Li Fengming will have to give a wife gift when he sees Xiao Mingche.

But the two were not a normal husband and wife, and Xiao Mingche was weak-hearted, so he waved his hand and nodded to each other, which was considered to have said hello.

"I heard you were looking for me?" After the two of them asked this sentence in unison, they were both stunned.

Li Fengming was the first to come back to his senses: "When I returned home in the afternoon, I heard that you had looked for me in the morning." You were in the lobby when you came. ”

"Lian Zhen returned to Beijing from the south, and sent Zhan Kaiyang's mother and sister by the way." Xiao Mingche had an indifferent face, but when he spoke, he looked at those peonies.

He's actually explaining the reason for his absence? Li Fengming was a little surprised, tilted his head slightly and looked at his side face for a moment, and suddenly felt enlightened.

This is a good opportunity for her to talk about the conditions, because Xiao Mingche is obviously empty because of yesterday's incident, and he doesn't know how to make amends.

Li Fengming couldn't help but smile, bowed his head to show understanding, and put on a businesslike appearance, "Then let me talk about what I'm looking for you first?" ”

"Okay."

"Although you apologized for the incident in the carriage yesterday, the more I thought about it later, the more I lost. But although I am not reconciled, I will not beat you and scold you, right? ”

Li Fengming learned the lesson of the last time, did not joke and frolic, and directly solved the problem seriously.

"The two of us don't look up and look down all day long, and then there are occasions when we need to show up in front of people together, so we can't always be so silent and embarrassed. So, there has to be an end to yesterday's affair. ”

Xiao Mingche thought deeply: "How do you want to end it?" ”

Li Fengming raised his chin slightly, and his tone was calm, "I'll touch you too, this will be even, and the two don't owe each other." After that, no one is allowed to mention yesterday. ”

Xiao Mingche looked back and stared at "......"

Seeing that he was speechless in surprise, Li Fengming asked knowingly, "Why don't you speak?" Do you think this condition is unfair? ”

Logically speaking, the solution she proposed seemed to be fair, but Xiao Mingche felt ridiculous no matter how he heard it.

"You ......," he said in a tumultuous mind, not knowing what to say for a moment, "change conditions." ”

Li Fengming was waiting for his words.

"Then I'll take a step back. If you are willing to take the time to accompany me to the East Market to meet the owner of the Xia Country and help me buy that small building, in this way, we will be even. ”

Although this request is also a little unreasonable, but after her previous absurd solution, it actually seems much more serious in comparison.

Xiao Mingche met her gaze, and the battle between heaven and man began in his heart.

Seeing that he was a little loose, Li Fengming immediately hit the snake and said, "After buying the small building, the return I promised you before will also be fulfilled as promised." Help you teach Zhan Kaiyang to do things and expand the scale of the workshop in Guizixi, I will do what I say. Calculate this account carefully, you only make money and don't lose money. ”

This solution to the problem sounds like a lot more than "I'll touch you too".

"Okay," Xiao Mingche agreed, but he didn't forget to draw the bottom line, "I'm just going to accompany you to see the owner of the house, nothing else." "As for letting His Royal Highness King Huai laugh and accompany wine or something, don't even think about it.

Li Fengming smiled, "Deal!" ”

In fact, the owner of the house has no intention of being frivolous, as long as he is willing to accompany him to show up, there must be room for things to turn around.

"I'm done with what I'm going to say. It's your turn," Li Fengming reminded, "What did you want to say when you came to me in the morning?" ”

Xiao Mingche glanced at the sachet on her waist, "Your very strong incense, I got it again." Is there an immediate way to remove it? ”

"Luo Ji Ye Xiang? How could you possibly get it?! Li Fengming seemed to be alive.

"It's not as domineering as you say, and although it lasts for a long time, it's time-sensitive. I just used it the night before, even if it is stained, the orchid incense I wore yesterday will dissolve most of it, and it can't be provoked by you. ”

Yesterday was to enter the palace to meet the queen of Qi, and it is appropriate to be solemn and elegant.

Because she used Luo Ji night incense the night before, she was afraid that the fragrance would be too strong and would cause the queen to feel uncomfortable, so she specially wore a fragrant orchid that could be slightly dissolved.

Hearing her say this, Xiao Mingche couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

He frowned in confusion, "But I really have a fragrance on my body." It's the same as the previous time. ”

"That time in the palace, it was because you and I were in the tent all night. If you get along normally, the incense will not be easily dyed on others. ”

Li Fengming was puzzled.

"We were only together in the carriage on the way back and forth yesterday, and it was less than an hour and a half combined. Besides, at that time, I was wearing orchid incense, which was not stained with clothes, and it quickly dispersed. ”

She was puzzled, and simply took a half step forward to smell it.

This move shocked Xiao Mingche and retreated, "What are you doing?!" ”

"I didn't smell the fragrance on you," Li Fengming didn't care about his avoidance, only looked at him suspiciously, "You...... Do you want to call a doctor to take a look? ”

She suspected that the poor Huai Wang's sense of smell might have suddenly deteriorated after he had a problem with his sense of taste when he was a child.

Otherwise, the brain is broken. I don't know what strange things I'm thinking.
