Chapter 385: Teach Her to Blend Perfume
When Ji Yanning heard Pearl say this, he looked at Rong Che with some surprise.
Rong Che said: "I think you won't be able to return to Chang'an so soon, so I plan to let her wait here first, after all, it is your maid, and it is more convenient to use it on weekdays." ”
In fact, he didn't expect that Ying'er next to Ji Yanning would stay in Laizhou City at first, but he just thought that with Ji Yanning's temperament, he would definitely not trust others easily, so he thought about letting a maid come over.
Now that I see it, it was a really good decision.
Pearl looked around, but did not find Ying'er's shadow, and asked puzzledly, "Why is Ying'er not here?"
Ji Yanning said: "She stayed in Laizhou City." ”
"Why did the young lady leave her in Laizhou City?" Pearl was slightly stunned, a little puzzled.
Rong Che said: "It's a long story, let's talk about it in the house first, after such a long journey, Yan Ning should also rest." ”
From Laizhou to Qianzhou, the road was bumpy, the terrain of Qianzhou was complicated, and the mountain roads were rugged and difficult to walk, although sometimes Ji Yanning sat in the carriage, he still felt tired.
Hearing Rong Che's words, Pearl stopped talking and hurriedly welcomed them into the house.
Ji Yanning really felt tired, the weather had not warmed up, and he had been traveling for nearly two months in a row, and now that he had finally arrived at his destination, he naturally had to take a good rest and make other plans.
Pearl prepared a hot bath for her, Ji Yanning soaked for nearly an hour before she felt much more comfortable, and fell asleep groggily after lunch.
Looking at the eldest lady's tired appearance, Pearl felt distressed.
With the courtyard and pearls arranged by Rong Che, Ji Yanning didn't intend to disturb such a Baochang Ji steward.
When Ji Yanning woke up, it was already the morning of the second day.
After sleeping for a night, his spirit was much better, but it was raining continuously outside, and it was pouring down, which made Ji Yanning feel a little gloomy.
The land is wet and cold, and there is little snow in winter and spring, but it is difficult to stop the rain.
But Ji Yanning was somewhat glad that he was able to arrive in time in time yesterday, if he encountered this rainy weather, he was afraid that he would add a lot of trouble to the road.
The weather was rainy and cold, wet and cold, so most of the rooms were placed with carbon fires, Ji Yanning didn't feel how cold it was, but she felt that the incense in this room made her a little uncomfortable.
Pearl waited for her to wash up, and asked her servants to prepare the meal.
Ji Yanning's mind became more sober after washing, put the hand towel aside, and said to the pearl: "Change this incense for me." ”
Pearl was slightly stunned, and then said, "Miss, don't you like this incense?"
"Where did this incense come from?" asked Ji Yanning.
Pearl shook her head and said, "It was given by the housekeeper in this house, and it should be purchased by the next person, and the slave thought that this spice smelled good, so she used it." ”
Ji Yanning Zhengse said: "You follow me to study medicine, and you also know a lot of medicinal materials, in fact, the way of perfume and dispensing have the same thing, this spice is used in the right place, with the right person, it can make people feel comfortable physically and mentally, but at the same time it can kill people and be invisible." ”
Hearing the eldest lady say this, Pearl's face changed slightly, her eyes looked at the incense, and she said curtly: "Did the slave choose the wrong spice?"
She recalled that when the eldest lady first arrived in Chang'an, she was plotted once in Liufu, and that time she used fragrance and food, which made the eldest lady poisoned, and was almost misunderstood as crazy.
Thinking of this, Pearl hurriedly replaced the incense, took out the small incense burner, and soaked it directly with rainwater.
Ji Yanning said: "You don't have to be too nervous, in fact, this fragrance is not so poisonous that it will make people poisoned, but I don't like it." ”
Pearl bowed her head and said, "Since the eldest lady doesn't like it, then don't use this incense." ”
Ji Yanning chuckled lightly and said, "Anyway, it's very idle when it rains, I'll teach you how to mix fragrances, and you'll know what spices to use in the future." ”
Hearing that the eldest lady said that she wanted to teach herself, Pearl was in a very good mood, so she responded happily.
Ji Yanning wrote a list and asked her to select spices according to the above, and after a while, the pearl came back.
Pearl has been living in this city for half a month, for this Qianzhou city has a lot of understanding, it has always been convenient to run errands on weekdays, although such a small thing as buying things can be done by people, but this spice is the eldest lady wants, naturally to pick some good ones.
For medicinal herbs and other things that the eldest lady eats, pearls have always been more careful, and most of them have to handle them themselves.
Pearl bought all the spices he needed, and Ji Yanning asked with some curiosity, "Why haven't you seen Rong Che?"
"The prince was found by the prefect early this morning. Pearl replied, "It seems to be about the case." ”
Ji Yanning narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Isn't it an old case, why are you in such a hurry?"
She remembered that Rong Che had told her that he had taken on an old case that was a little tricky, so even if he couldn't solve the case, it didn't matter.
Pearl shook her head: "This slave doesn't know. ”
Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't ask any more, lowered his head and began to check the spices that Pearl bought, and then explained to her in detail, and prepared it while explaining, which made Pearl more impressive.
Pearl hadn't seen Ji Yanning for almost half a year, and she was extra focused when she asked Ji Yanning to teach herself again.
It's just that perfumery is not so easy to learn well, and Ji Yanning has always been demanding, so he can only strive for excellence.
Ji Yanning took out a spice and used it first, and asked the pearl to change it to Rong Che's room, and don't use the previous spice.
"That's right. Pearl seemed to have thought of something, and turned her head to look at Ji Yanning, "Miss, you haven't said why Ying'er stayed in Laizhou City?"
Ji Yanning chuckled lightly and said, "Because she met someone she loved in Laizhou, she stayed there to live, which is understandable." ”
Pearl's eyes widened in surprise, a little puzzled.
Ji Yanning said: "This matter is a long story, in short, it is a gratifying thing to see, it should be congratulated on her." ”
She naturally could see Rong Fangyu's love for Ying'er, the path was chosen by themselves, and she had no right to stop it.
Pearl said, "But she can't let the eldest lady go by herself, and there is no one on the road to do this?"
Those guards are all big men, how can any maid come intimately.
Ji Yanning chuckled and said, "Isn't this you?"
Pearl nodded and said, "Fortunately, the slave maid came, in fact, Ziyu also wanted to come with her, but she fell once when she was learning to ride a horse, but she didn't dare to touch the horse again." ”
