Chapter 48: Perfume

Fang Tian inhaled hard, and sure enough, she smelled a faint fragrance, which was very familiar to her, and it was precisely because of this that she would ignore it.

It was the scent of the orchid essential oil she had refined, and for days she had locked herself in a wooden house to study the proportions of the perfume, presumably inadvertently contaminated with it.

"Madam, the scent is indeed my scent, but it is not the smell of powder, but the smell of perfume."

Mrs. Bai has a noble status and has been pampered for many years, what kind of gouache rouge spices have not been seen? But the perfume that Fang Tian said was still the first time she heard it, and when she heard the novelty at first glance, her eyes lit up: "What is this perfume, is it synthesized by mixing spices with water, and where can I buy it?" ”

Women are really very sensitive to things like rouge gouache, whether it is ancient or modern, Fang Tian felt funny in his heart, his face was not dewy, and he said respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, perfume is not something that can be made by mixing spices with water, it needs some recipes to make, just like making spices." ”

Fang Tian stood up straight, and said with some pride between his eyebrows: "There is no place to buy this perfume at the moment. ”

"Oh? Where did the perfume smell come from? ”

"I researched it myself and made it myself, but it's still a semi-finished product, and I haven't made it yet, so I can't buy it on the market."

Madame Bai was obviously very interested in the perfume in Fang Tian's mouth, she looked at Fang Tian, and her figure was reflected in her eyes.

When she left Kyoto, she just wanted to go home to worship her ancestors, but on the way back, she heard that a vision fell from heaven in the nameless temple, and her nephew, who she hadn't seen for a long time, also came to this town, so she changed her mind and made a special trip.

Unexpectedly, in this remote town, a little girl from an ordinary background in this mountain and countryside would give her such a big surprise.

She likes the smell of this perfume very much, especially its uniqueness, since it has not yet been developed, then those noble ladies in the capital must have never seen this kind of chic thing, if she starts to use this perfume, she must have received a lot of amazing eyes.

The more Madame Bai thought about it, the more interesting things became: "The girl is really ingenious, this perfume smells like an orchid, I wonder if its raw material is an orchid?" ”

Fang Tian nodded back: "Exactly." ”

Madame Bai's expression fell in Fang Tian's eyes, she felt that her opportunity seemed to have come, Madame Bai had a noble status, she must have known many ladies with the same noble status in the capital, and the market for this perfume should have been facing them.

Fang Tian's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Madame seems to like the smell of this perfume very much. ”

"Because it's chic, and I love the fragrance of orchids the most in my life, it's elegant and smelly, and I've also heard that the fragrance of orchids can cultivate people's hearts and have a more pleasant effect."

Madame Bai's praise, how could Fang Tian not hear the meaning of her mouth, and said with sincere eyes: "Madame likes it so much, it is the luck of the little woman, the perfume can be prepared in two days, if Madame is still here, I will personally give Madame a bottle." ”

"Then thank you Miss Fang." Madame Bai said with a smile.

The maidservant beside her felt that things were not right, and reminded her in her ear: "Madam, we will leave tomorrow, and the date has been set." ”

Madame Bai frowned and glared at her, and she quickly fell back to her place in silence.

Women always have some attachment to things like spices, even if it is a person of noble status like Madame Bai, it is no exception. She had a smile on her face, thinking to herself, what about delaying her trip for two or three days for that chic thing?

In the study, incense slowly rose from the copper furnace and gradually diffused throughout the room.

In the silence, Zhao Sheng saw through the half-hidden crack in the door that his brother was sitting upright in front of the bookcase at this moment, holding a book in his hand and reading, and from time to time he was writing something on the paper with a pen.

A maidservant girl slowly walked in the direction of the study with hot tea, and saw that the little boy Zhao Sheng was looking inside through the crack in the door, her face was surprised, and she lowered her voice and said, "Little boy, what are you doing here?" ”

The sudden sound startled Zhao Sheng, and he pushed the door with a shake of his hand, so the wooden door made a sound.

Zhao Sheng is not as calm as his brother, because he has been sheltered by his family for many years, he is still a child's temper, he was frightened, quite annoyed, and was about to ask for guilt, when he suddenly heard a voice from the door.

"Obviously, you yourself want to peek outside, and people came to deliver tea, and you blocked the way, kindly reminding you, how can you blame her?"

Zhao Shengtian is not afraid of the ground, he is afraid of his brother who is not smiling. He took the tea from the handmaid's hand and personally brought it to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi's gaze lifted from the scroll and fell on his younger brother.

Zhao Sheng knew what he wanted to ask, and hurriedly said: "It's not that I'm lazy and don't go to class, it's that Mr. heard about the vision of the Nameless Temple and ran to watch it excitedly, so I'm going home now." I left my homework before I left, so I'll do it later. ”

The word vision in his words made Zhao Qi frown slightly: "What vision?" ”

Zhao Qi rarely goes out these days, and the reason why he left the capital is because of his younger brother's study, but he wants to avoid the messy things in the capital and steal a few days of quiet, so Zhao Qi rarely goes out, and the only news that people report on weekdays is all things in the capital.

Therefore, he didn't know anything about the white lotus blooming in the Nameless Temple.

It was rare to have a chance to show himself in front of the omnipotent brother, and Zhao Sheng was overjoyed: "Brother, you don't even know that in the past few days, the matter of the vision of the nameless temple has spread all over the world, and probably even those nobles in the capital know about it." ”

Zhao Qi couldn't help but be curious: "What is it that can still alarm the capital?" ”

"Flowers have their own seasons, you also know, lotus flowers generally bloom in midsummer, and now it is late autumn, but I don't know why, the white lotus planted in the nameless temple has not fallen until this time, but the more it blooms, the more beautiful it is, others say that this is a vision from heaven, so many people have rushed to this place from other places!"

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at his younger brother with complicated eyes: "You know a lot about these things." ”

Zhao Sheng didn't want to think about it, so he showed off: "Then I must be what kind of person I am, unlike those nerds who don't listen to things outside the window and only read sage books, I-"

He was suddenly silent, and his eyes fell timidly back to Zhao Qi's face, with some apprehension on his face: "No, I was all nonsense just now, I am the kind of nerd who doesn't listen to things outside the window and only reads the books of sages. ”

Of course, Zhao Qi couldn't believe him, his eyes were complicated, he groaned slightly, and finally didn't say anything. After all, his younger brother is young, and he has been protected by his family since he was a child, so it is normal to be a little playful.

"Since you think this, then you can just go and take a look, and you don't have to come and tell me in person."

As soon as Zhao Qi's words fell, his eyes fell back on the scroll in his hand, he was not as playful as Zhao Sheng, he was more interested in staying at home and reading books than the so-called vision from heaven, he was the eldest son in the family, and he would definitely take advantage of the title in the future, where would he dare to slack off.

"Don't you really want to see it?" Zhao Sheng frowned, this state of affairs was not his original intention.

Seeing Zhao Qi shake his head slightly, Zhao Sheng's brows became more and more wrinkled. If he just likes this temple fair and wants to go to the Nameless Temple to see what the vision looks like that day, then he can go out by himself, there are so many people in the garden, no one will dare to stop him at all.

But he didn't mean to do so, in the past few days, he has always seen Zhao Qi lock himself in the house, either reading or reading, he looked depressed, afraid that this abnormal life pattern would affect his brother's body, so he used the thing of the vision of the nameless temple to seduce him.

It is clear that his plan has failed.

Zhao Sheng was quite frustrated, so he simply stopped going around the bend, snatched the scroll in Zhao Qi's hand rudely and directly, and then stood straight in his gaze: "Reading at home all day long, I can't help but wonder if you are going to be evil, brother." ”

Zhao Qi knows his younger brother's temperament and temper best, he knows that he is awkwardly concerned, so he was robbed of the book, and he was not angry, and poured himself a cup of tea: "These are all things that you young people should like, isn't it normal that I don't like it, besides, how can it be regarded as an evil spirit?" ”

"You're only two years older than me, so why aren't you young?"

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

Seeing that there was no anger on his face, Zhao Sheng instantly seemed to have borrowed one hundred and twenty guts, and actually began to count them.

"Look at you, after you left Kyoto and came to this town, what did you do, locked yourself in the house all day long and didn't go out, and didn't care about what happened outside, are you going to cultivate immortals so you don't ask about the world? And what's the point of holding a book and reading all day long, Zi said that reading should be a combination of work and rest, what's the use of you reading like this? ”

Zhao Sheng became more and more energetic, and said impassionedly: "What's more, you and I are in a different situation, our family is in the military, you will inherit the title and go to the border to fight in the future, and you will study all day long, what if you are stupid to read?" ”

Zhao Qi took a sip of tea and glanced at his younger brother.

The young man, who was still impassioned, suddenly stopped, like a cat with teeth and claws and shrunk his neck when he saw the fierce tiger: "I...... This is also worried that you will get sick when you are bored in the room, obviously I am the person who reads in our family, why are you more serious and hardworking than me. ”

Suddenly remembered something, the young man's eyes lit up: "And haven't you always wanted to see the prime minister before, I heard that the prime minister's wife left the capital a while ago to return to her hometown to worship her ancestors, her hometown is not far from here, she has always believed in Buddhism, maybe she will change her itinerary to come here to see, you may still be able to see her when you go out, you can't see the prime minister, isn't it okay to meet the prime minister's wife?" ”

When Zhao Qi heard this, he thought for a while and said, "I'll go out and have a look later." ”

"Let's go."

When Zhao Qi said this to Zhao Sheng, who had been waiting outside for a long time, the young man was stunned, staring at him as if he had seen a ghost: "This is leaving, you just go out like this?" ”

Zhao Qi's face was puzzled, at this moment he was wearing a light cyan robe with a high crown, as if he was dressed when he usually went out, he was a little difficult to understand why his younger brother showed such an expression, frowned slightly and said, "But what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Sheng nodded like a chicken pecking rice, obviously having a lot of opinions about Zhao Qi's dress: "You should change into the gorgeous clothes that you will wear when you go to the homes of other dignitaries and nobles, go out like this, what kind of system will it become, don't you know that the temple fair is a good time for young men and women to date?" ”
