Shi Jinxiu's words suddenly poked into Mrs. Ye's heart.

With the mentality of a dead horse being a living doctor, she signed a cooperation contract with Shi Jinxiu: Shi Jinxiu is responsible for making incense products, Xinxiangge is responsible for selling, and the proceeds are divided into fifty and a half after the principal is removed.

With the more than 200 taels of silver tickets that he got from selling Mu Nianhua, Shi Jinxiu first took Du Juan to eat a bowl of wontons in the alley next to East Street, and then bought some decent clothes and jewelry.

Carrying these big bags and small bags, the cuckoo was as happy as the New Year, and his steps were a little frivolous: "Girl, don't we have to look at the faces of the big house and the third room in the future?" ”

"That's where it goes!" Shi Jinxiu glanced at Du Juan, "The little money we earn is not enough for them to stuff their teeth, you must not go out to show off!" ”

The cuckoo let out an "oh" in disappointment, and silently followed Shi Jinxiu back to the house.

Soon it was Cai Xiang'er's birthday, and Cai Xiang'er sent someone to park the carriage outside the Changxing Marquis Mansion early in the morning.

"Actually, you don't have to send someone to pick me up!" As soon as he arrived at the Zheng Guogong Mansion, Shi Jinxiu saw Cai Xiang'er, who was waiting for him at the second gate.

After Cai Xiang'er saw Shi Jinxiu, she greeted her very happily: "I don't know about your family's affairs, if I don't send a car, do you want to rent a car?" ”

Shi Jinxiu smiled bitterly in her heart when she heard this, Cai Xiang'er was right, it was impossible for the eldest aunt to arrange a carriage and horse travel for herself.

"Alright, let's stop here, let's go play in my yard!" Cai Xiang'er took Shi Jinxiu's hand and took her to the courtyard where she lived.

The courtyard where Cai Xiang'er lives is very large, and there is a small three-story attic, which is said to be standing on the small attic, you can overlook the panoramic view of the entire Zheng Guogong Mansion.

But what surprised Shi Jinxiu was not the three-story small attic, but the fragrance of Mu Nianhua wafting from Cai Xiang'er's house.

Seeing Shi Jinxiu's somewhat shocked expression, Cai Xiang'er said proudly: "You also think this fragrance smells good, don't you?" I got it all afternoon at my cousin's soft grinding. ”

"Do you like this incense?" Shi Jinxiu asked tentatively.

Cai Xiang'er nodded like pounding garlic.

Shi Jinxiu took out a brocade box with a sigh of relief: "On your birthday, I don't know what to give, so I made this orange blossom cake." ”

"Orange blossom cake? Is it made from orange blossom? Cai Xiang'er sounded very novel, so she took the brocade box from Shi Jinxiu's hand and couldn't wait to open it.

A refreshing scent of orange blossom wafted out of the brocade box.

"Sister, what's the good thing here? It's so fragrant. Shi Jinxiu, who was about to explain, only heard someone laughing outside the door, and immediately saw a woman in her early twenties walking in.

"Yo, I didn't think my sister would have a guest." The woman smiled at Shi Jinxiu and nodded, and Shi Jinxiu also generously replied with a blessing.

As soon as Cai Xiang'er saw the Huaxin woman, she jumped over with a giggle: "Cousin, we're talking about you!" ”

Cai Xiang'er's cousin? Is it from the Hou Ning family in Jinghai?

In her dream, in addition to having a Duchess Zheng Guo, the Jinghai Hou Ning family also married a daughter to the Three Princes' Mansion as a stepconcubine, but I don't know if it is the one in front of her.

Shi Jinxiu also secretly pondered.

"What are you saying about me again?" Cai Xiang'er's cousin poked Cai Xiang'er's forehead very affectionately, and her eyes swept to the brocade box in Cai Xiang'er's hand.

"What is this?" My cousin asked curiously.

Cai Xiang'er looked proud: "This is a birthday gift from Sister Xiu'er, her homemade orange blossom cake!" ”

As soon as she heard this, her cousin's eyes when she looked at Shi Jinxiu suddenly became a little more hopeful, and her emotions became excited: "Do you know how to make incense?" ”

Shi Jinxiu nodded stunnedly, and looked at Cai Xiang'er inexplicably.

Cai Xianger shook her head at her, saying that she didn't know the reason.

Cai Xiang'er's cousin didn't explain much, but took off a silver sachet with grape flower and bird pattern from her waist: "Please help me see, can you match the hibiscus fragrance in this?" ”

The workmanship of the sachet is very exquisite, and at first glance it is not from the hands of ordinary craftsmen.

Shi Jinxiu took the sachet with both hands and found a few small words on the silver hook of the hanging sachet, "Internal Affairs System".

Although it is in the capital, there are few people who can use the imperial objects of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Don't think about it, this must be a private customized incense, which is commonly known as private incense.

Shi Jinxiu carefully put the silver sachet under her nose and sniffed it, frowning.

"What? Can't you deserve it? As soon as she saw Shi Jinxiu's expression, her cousin asked nervously.

"It's not that I don't deserve ......it," Shi Jinxiu asked after hesitation, "It's just...... You carry this incense with you...... Is it to avoid children? ”

Cai Xiang'er's cousin's face immediately darkened.

Cai Xiang'er secretly pulled Shi Jinxiu's sleeve: "My sister went to Guanyin Temple yesterday to ask for a child, how can she be avoiding a child?" ”

"But this fragrance contains a lot of musk and safflower, if it wasn't for the sake of avoiding children, why would Sister Ling wear it on her body?" Knowing that the other party was not trying to avoid his son, Shi Jinxiu told the truth.

"Musk? Safflower? As soon as she heard this, her cousin's figure began to sway, and she looked at Shi Jinxiu in disbelief, "You say...... Is there musk and safflower in this scent? ”

Shi Jinxiu nodded seriously.

"The musk flavor is strong, and in order to hide the musk smell, a lot of passion seeds are added to this aroma...... Finally, it is necessary to present the fragrance of hibiscus flowers, and the person who makes this incense may have spent a lot of time. Shi Jinxiu sighed.

"How so? How could it be! The cousin's mood almost collapsed, "This incense was rewarded by the palace, and I have always regarded it as a kind of honor and grace, but I didn't expect it to ......"

"Cousin, don't worry......" Cai Xiang'er looked at Shi Jinxiu while comforting her cousin, "My cousin is a dignified third princess!" Is there some misunderstanding in this? ”

Really!

"Shi Jinxiu has seen the three princesses!" Shi Jinxiu took half a step back and made a big salute again.

The third princess, who was almost about to collapse, held Cai Xiang'er's hand and signaled for exemption: "In vain, I went around looking for doctors and medicines, didn't I think that the crux of childlessness was here?" ”

"Not necessarily, but if a woman uses this incense all year round...... The heir will be more difficult than ordinary people......" Shi Jinxiu also enlightened her, "But as long as you stop using this incense and recuperate for a while, you should still be able to conceive a child......"

I didn't think about it, but the third princess smiled bitterly: "No, this incense, I can't leave it, otherwise it will be disrespectful!" ”

"Huh? So what to do? Could it be that you won't have children for the rest of your life, cousin? This time, even Cai Xiang'er exclaimed.
