Chapter 75: One Hot and One Cold
"Hehehe...... Mr. Ning smiled, "I don't believe this." Presumably you don't believe it yourself. β
Bai Mei sneered and said no more.
β¦β¦
Out of the source cabinet, A-Ning was still a little itchy in his heart. She wanted to take the pulse for Mr. Ning, but several times she wanted to ask questions, but they were inadvertently interrupted by Bai Mei. She was a little annoyed in her heart, so she had to comfort herself that it was a bit rude to rashly ask about other people's conditions, since no one asked you to see a doctor, you rushed to ask about people's conditions in case it caused embarrassment.
What's more, the surname Ning doesn't seem to have a loud voice, but in fact, his stillness, movement, words and deeds are full of arrogance in his own way.
Ji Mo was silent all the way.
Ji Shu and Su Cardamom walked side by side. Su Cardamom wanted to speak and stopped: "Perhaps...... Mr. Ning's identity, I can guess a thing or two. β
Ji Shu said: "What? β
Mr. Ning's words are full of incomprehensible intentions.
He said that he was interested in Bai Mei's reaction speed and calculation ability, but Bai Mei didn't promise him anything in the end.
He wasn't annoyed either. A confident look.
"Don't worry, learn from me, you won't lose." Mr. Ning said to Bai Mei in an indifferent tone, "I have always had a good eye. β
Bai Mei was almost speechless.
Bai Mei said secretly: Daddy, I really don't want to learn any gambling skills, how many times do I have to say it?
For the first time, he was extremely depressed to find that the gambling house had not yet come out, and in the same room, under the common breath, he understood the meaning of other people's words, but others actually couldn't understand his words.
There is a kind of chicken and duck that talk about powerlessness.
Ji Shu thought of Bai Mei's chagrin, which was a little funny.
Su Cardamom said slowly: "His room is burning with 'salient incense'!" β
Ji Shu didn't understand what "sentient incense" was, so he humbly asked Su Cardamom for advice: "'Sentient incense? 'Isn't it special?' β
Su Cardamom smiled: "There are a lot of particularities in making spices, but the basic spices generally do not make major changes, and the reason why many fragrances are different is often because of one or two of the most important ingredients." The name is nothing special, and it is even a little cheesy, but there is an ingredient in it that is very precious and rare. 'Born in the dark night, fragrant and quiet'. When Su Cardamom muttered the last few words, there was an inexplicable ethereal in her voice, and after she finished speaking, she was stunned, and she sighed dreamily, "Alas! This girl had never seen such a magical 'dark night'. - It's a pity that everyone is in such a high-level incense and doesn't know it, it's a bit tyrannical! β
"Really?" Ji Shu suddenly felt a little incredible, "So...... It's not a 'violent thing', some regrets are true, but it's a pity that I didn't take a few more puffs! β
Su Cardamom pouted.
Ji Shu was secretly surprised by the name "Dark Night", and sure enough, the incense products of the Agarwood Pavilion are rich, and there is a full truth in inheriting them for a hundred years. Before he met Su Cardamom, he had the most contact with all kinds of flowers in Jijiabao's Xiaozhi Garden, and such a high-level name as "Dark Night" was unheard of.
Therefore, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the interlacing is like a mountain.
It's still a towering mountain that is hard to reach.
"Incense of all beings, aren't you easily recognizable?" Ji Shu was surprised, "How can you say that you haven't seen it?" β
"I haven't seen it!" Su Cardamom smiled skillfully, and asked Ji Shu mischievously, "Ji Zhenming, how do you feel under the influence of 'sentient beings'?" β
"It's nothing if you don't say it, you remind me," Ji Shu thought for a moment and replied seriously, "It's been this hour, but I haven't felt tired, but I feel light." β
"That's right!" There was an obvious pride in Su Cardamom's expression, "The fragrance of 'All Living Beings' is far away and elegant, and the main fragrance is 'Dark Night Fuyu', which is a fairly rare small insect ......"
"What?" As soon as Ji Shu heard Su Cardamom say "little worm", he was like a child driven by curiosity, he did not hide his ignorance, and his tone became enthusiastic - since they met, Su Cardamom has never said anything about "incense", so in Ji Shu's impression, the so-called "incense" is just a tool for women's makeup, and even more advanced, it is probably just spices with different names and different uses burned in the smokers of dignitaries.
When he came back from the Northwest Battlefield, he was much more mature, and he didn't have so many naughty words and pranks, he deliberately made himself appear more stable. On the battlefield, for many nights he repeatedly dreamed of blood and fire, severed arms and stumps, dreamed of a woman's voice calling "Ah Xiu-", he was afraid, feared, and yearned, he told himself to grow up and mature quickly, and unravel the unknown that he had forgotten in his heart, which he did not dare to nor could recall.
However, at this moment, Ji Shu didn't care whether he was stable or mature, after all, he was still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who was hovering between maturity and naivety.
At this moment, he is defenseless and regains his former self: smart, occasionally mischievous, thoughtful, and a little cunning.
Su Cardamom glanced at Ji Shu softly: "It's a small worm, that's right." This small insect is the size of a small bean, with a dark green glow, and only appears on starry or moonlit nights, which is extremely rare, and it is very fast to catch. This small insect itself does not have a fragrance, but after it is dried and crushed, it will emit a high-end, long-lasting and elegant fragrance, which is restrained, long-lasting and charming, refreshing and invigorating. A little bit of gold can be sold at a price, no, there is no price at all. - I saw all of this in books, and I confirmed it to my father. We also have very few of these small insects in the Agarwood Pavilion. The incense of sentient beings, I was only fortunate enough to smell it once at the general's place. β
Ji Shu said: "This is too amazing...... So, Mr. Ning's identity ......"
"It's worth playing." Ji Mo didn't know when his steps slowed down, and he walked almost side by side with them.
Sue Cardamom ......
"There are only a few people who can afford to use 'Dark Night', and this person calls himself 'Mr. Ning', which makes it difficult for people to guess."
"Among the emperor's relatives and relatives, the one surnamed Ning has this strength...... Ji Shu's heart jumped suddenly, and he glanced at Ji Mo and Su Cardamom.
Who else is there besides Empress Kamibuchi Kunining? When the biological mother of General Li Zhun Lee!
Mr. Ning must be a descendant of the Ning family! In terms of age, he must be Uncle Ning's important and proud son-in-law.
However, the concubine of the dignified uncle's mansion was actually gray-headed, and he kept saying that he was the best at gambling, and it was difficult to find a defeat, and he was full of burning cynicism in his arrogance.
Why?
"Come on, Sister Su!" A-Ning walked ahead and waved to Su Cardamom.
"Okay, here we go!" Su Cardamom said to Ji Mo and Ji Shu, "I'll talk about it when I go back." β
Source Cabinet Casino. Second floor.
Mr. Ning seemed to be very tired, leaning on the brocade cushion of the soft couch and closing his eyes to recuperate.
The man who had just led them upstairs stood respectfully beside the soft couch at this moment, and reported slowly: "Sir, according to your instructions, our people followed them to the vicinity of the Thousand Faces Pavilion and found that a few of them had entered the back door of the Thousand Faces Pavilion. Didn't come out again. β
Mr. Ning laughed lightly: "Sure enough." β
After being quiet for a while, he pinched the base of his nose with his good-looking fingers and did not open his eyes. After pinching a few times, the last index finger and middle finger are together, and a light gesture - stand down!
The person who reported it was probably accustomed to this kind of strange master, and quietly retreated.
Senmian Pavilion...... White shopkeeper...... It turned out to be a cub of "a thousand faces and stones"!
"No wonder." Mr. Ning muttered slowly in his mouth, "I heard that Bai Jingshi has a son who has eaten all over the royal city. Hey, that kid's love of food almost perfectly obscures his computing talent,ββ Lao Bai is relieved of this son. It's a shame that my eyes are like torches, Lao Bai, Lao Bai, what should I do if I fall in love with your son? He finished talking to himself, and laughed for a while, as if it was not him who had just spoken, but someone had told him a nice joke in his ear.
"But," Mr. Ning frowned, "Bai Jingshi is not ugly, how did he give birth to an ugly son?" No, I can't ask for such a person. The thought immediately crossed his mind as soon as he finished laughing.
"That's not right," he immediately denied the idea just now, "Bai Jingshi's son often goes in and out of the market, and there are many people who have seen him, and I heard that he is a rather handsome person, and someone should recognize him when he appears in the casino today!" ββThat mediocre-looking kid was able to enter and exit the backyard of the Thousand Faces Pavilion, and whether he was Bai Jingshi's son or not, he must have a close relationship with Bai Jingshi, or ...... That kid with a mask? β
ββ
Bai Mei and the others returned to the backyard of the Thousand Faces Pavilion, took off the human skin mask on their faces, and breathed a few sighs of relief.
Want to take this son as an apprentice? He figured it out! Bai Mei exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his chest was still like half a high wall, "There are no doors!" β
A Ning said: "Brother Mei, I don't think Mr. Ning's identity is simple, and it's not humiliating to fancy you!" β
Bai Mei: "It's not humiliating, it's just difficult for a strong man." β
Su Cardamom smiled: "This is called blue-eyed." β
Ji Shu echoed: "Don't talk about anything else, what if you are a gambling idiot to be your master?" β
Bai Mei's eyes widened: "What? Is he a gambler? β
Jimo: "It's not impossible...... Quite possibly! β
Source cabinet on the second floor.
After struggling for a long time, Mr. Ning finally made up his mind.
"It doesn't matter if you're ugly, it's rare to be talented. It's a big deal, Mr. Ben paid for a thousand faces to make a good mask for him. β
At the same time, there was a rapid slapping sound outside the gate of the Thousand Faces Pavilion, and the guy on duty who had already fallen asleep jumped up from the bed, and he first dared to ask, "Who!" The portrait outside the door was burned by the fire, and hurriedly pulled his throat: "Call our eldest lady quickly, the master has an accident!" β
The guy on duty reacted quickly, and he replied urgently, "Wait! So he ran to the back and called for someoneβhe knew that the shopkeeper's son was in the backyard.
Ji Shu and they haven't stopped yet, and Su Cardamom and A Ning have a lot to say, so they stay.
After listening to the report, Bai Mei was surprised, Ji Shu went to Aning Courtyard to summon Su Cardamom, and without waiting for Bai Mei to finish speaking, she had a "gluck" in her heart, and she didn't care about asking anything else, so she rushed out with a "swish"!
