Hagi Niang and Li's mother hurried back to Sixun Hall, and saw Zheng Yan sitting in the hall resting with a sip of tea and pastries, and a few incense boxes were stacked high beside her.

Hagi Niang rolled her eyes, yes, this is on her own head and has to pay for herself.

I met with Zheng Yan and said some excuses that I and Li's mother thought that there were still some things that I hadn't bought, so Hagi Niang went to ask the shopkeeper to settle the bill, who knew that the shopkeeper repeatedly refused to ask for silver, just said that the master asked the girl to meet, just ask a word.

Hagi Niang was willing to take strangers' things for nothing, so she asked Li's mother to take out the money and pay the bill, but seeing that the owner was very sincere, she agreed to meet with her.

Who knows that this owner doesn't appreciate it, and he must ask Hagi Niang to go into the inner room alone to meet. Hagi Niang only thinks that this person is so rude. The shopkeeper laughed again and again, but he didn't kneel down and kowtow, only saying that his owner's identity was sensitive and he didn't want people to see it, so he asked the girl to be considerate.

Li's mother is outside the hall, Sang Hu is at the entrance of the alley, this store is probably not a black store, after thinking about it again, Hagi Niang entered the inner room.

The decoration in the house is as simple, only a waist shrinking three-screen bib Arhat bed, on the side is a bronze carved square tripod type aromatherapy stove, faint smoke, not strong fragrance spread out, smell only feel very elegant.

A man with a long jade body and hair like deep ink, holding a chess game in one hand and a chess piece in the other, is playing music for recreation. He raised his head when he heard the movement, and looked at Hagi Niang with a smile, his red lips were as delicate as hibiscus flowers, and his red phoenix eyes looked particularly affectionate.

Unexpectedly, Hagi Niang remembered someone...... However, she felt that this "owner" who was hiding his head and tail everywhere might not want others to guess his identity, so she just saluted respectfully and greeted politely: "The little girl has seen Gongzi, you are much younger than I thought." ”

The man couldn't help but show a funny look, who would have thought that he was the beautiful man Nanjun Gonghuan Xuan who Zheng Yan wanted to mention from time to time outside.

To be able to "create" a secluded place in a bustling downtown like Suzaku Street, you can understand that it must be that the surrounding shops and houses have been taken down by him, so that he can "take care of the quiet", such a big deal, it can never be an ordinary person.

A man with a noble status and a gorgeous appearance, these two conditions together can only be him.

Huan Xuan looked seriously at the woman who came into the house. She has a light step, a graceful figure, although she is too short, it should be a relationship between young people and young teeth; The head is refreshing and refreshing, with two small plum blossom hairpins respectively, starry eyes and bright teeth, and eyebrows are very delicate.

When Hagi Niang saluted, Huan Xuan had already seen it clearly, and what she was wearing on her hand was the red sandalwood bead string that Xie Shi Yanlang often wore and cherished.

After listening to the shopkeeper of his own house, Huan Xuan couldn't believe it for a while, how could the little-known sister-in-law of Danyang Zang's family have Xie Yan's things in her hands, and it is not enough to say that this woman is a slave and a maid by Xie Yan's side. When he saw it with his own eyes, he really had to believe that before people approached, the incense came first, and it was impossible to smell this noble and upright sandalwood.

What is their relationship?

Why did Xie Yan give away the things he valued but didn't admit her into the house?

The Huan family and the Xie family are both top families in the eyes of the people of the time, but the Huan family has been in charge of the army in Jiangdong for generations, and the Xie family is the northern wang clan who came from the south. Once a family can command the civil and military generals separately, it will not be far from usurping the throne. Huan Xuan will not consider the possibility of "the Xie family has no intention of usurping the throne", this kind of thing must be prepared for a rainy day. His father intended to usurp the throne back then, and his greatest wish was for his son to inherit his father's business, and he was never embarrassed.

After the battle of Weishui, Xie Xuan and Xie Yan are currently the most promising candidates to succeed the next head of the Xie family.

If you can master the Chen Jun Xie clan, it will really ...... It's so exciting.

Huan Xuan quickly sorted out his thoughts.

Hagi Niang showed a blank look, what did this person call me for?

Directly asked "How did you get your bracelet" and "What is the relationship between you and Xie Yan", people probably refused to answer...... Huan Xuan frowned and meditated.

"In Xia Zhang Xuan, the shopkeeper of the shop talked to Xuan about the girl, and it is said that the girl likes the spices of the store very much, so Xuan specially invited the girl to taste the new fragrance."

Hearing the word "Xuan", Hagi Niang confirmed her guess, and she smiled clearly: "Okay." ”

The two sat opposite each other, saying that they were sitting but were actually half-kneeling on the seat, on the delicate carved low table, the small incense burner carved from the whole piece of white jade was small and cute. Huan Xuan took out a secret color porcelain bottle without a label from the bottles and cans on the side, put it in front of Hagi Niang, and said with a smile: "I'm ashamed to say that this incense is made by Xiao Ke himself, and the materials are very particular, but the fragrance is a little messy, so it has not yet been named." ”

He opened another small wooden box very calmly, took out a lotus-shaped pure gold seal mold with his jade hand, and held it in the palm of his hand to signal Hagi Niang: "Girls should like flowers, I don't like seals, it's too complicated and not good-looking, this box of four seasons flowers is specially created by me, and you will take it back to play when you go back." ”

As he spoke, he calmly began to play the seal, the jade hand and the jade furnace were almost contending, and the slender fingers were like flowing water, which was refreshing, and Hagi Niang couldn't help but be stunned.

Lighting the incense powder, he raised his head, and saw Hagi Niang's stupid look, blinked the pair of cynical peach blossom eyes proudly, and pretended to be affectionate: "Does the girl like this incense?" Hyun likes it very much......"

This man is too flowery.

Hagi closed her eyes and didn't look at him, catching the faint fragrance that filled the air in the dark.

The high-grade incense is so indifferent, different from those inferior temple incense, which does not consider people's feelings at all, anyway, you can smell the fragrance, strong and smoky, love to smell it, and deserve to die.

The slightly better craftsmen use a variety of spices, even flowers, vegetables, and fruits, and occasionally heirlooms, which are blended and the rate at which the various materials burn to create a long, complex fragrance that is layered on top of each other. Among them, there are also many famous fragrances that have been lost in later generations, because even if there is a fragrance spectrum, the strength of different people's hands is different, and the slightest mistake is thousands of miles.

And this fragrance ......

At the beginning of the nose is an undoubted fragrance of grass, as if it is the first sunny day after the rain, slowly walk into the garden, occasionally the fragrance of one or two flowers comes, do not have to deliberately pursue, just stroll and encounter it is very interesting, there is a very leisurely and casual sense of leisure.

The garden grew larger, the trees grew taller, the sunlight became no longer bright, and the dark woods could not accommodate the growth of flowers, so there was no longer the fragrance of flowers, and with it came the tall pine cypress, full of greenery, and the high canopy of the trees could only be looked up.

It should be a very positive fragrance, but Hagi Niang remembered some of her unpleasant experiences in the original world, she thought not of the lush forest, but the pines and cypresses around the cold bluestone, the breathless depressing atmosphere and the endless steps, it was raining slightly that day, cold and damp, there was no sunlight, and even if there were, it couldn't wear through the bottomless branches and leaves.

She shook her head, shook off the cold memories, and opened her eyes, only to find that there were tears in their sockets.

Huan Xuan saw that her eyes were slightly red, and hurriedly asked, "But this fragrance makes you uncomfortable?" He picked up the porcelain jar and was about to smash it on the ground, hating: "What kind of broken incense, I will never do it again!" ”

Hagi Niang hurriedly grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "No, I just remembered my late mother." As he spoke, he suddenly realized his faux pas, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and blushed slightly embarrassedly.

Huan Xuan's 10,000-year-old smile was slightly surprised, he was also a lover of incense in the past, and Si Xuntang was his pastime after making incense. This flavor is made by his own hands, take fresh cypress seeds, soak them in boiling water, and then soak them in wine with flowers and plants, seal them for seven days, and then take out the cypress seeds to dry, called "cypress fragrance". This is Su Dongpo's ancient recipe, which has not yet appeared in this dynasty, and it is not sold in stores.

When he smelled this incense before, he felt that he didn't seem to have made the true charm of "cypress", so he was not embarrassed to borrow the reputation of later generations, so as not to laugh at it.

Unlike Hagi Niang, the environment that Huan Xuan wore was much harsher, with a complex big family and ill-intentioned forces, which was really difficult for a five-year-old child. All kinds of hardships in the past have made today's Huan Xuan, he has completely integrated into the ancient environment, and even his thoughts have been assimilated.

When he smelled his newly made incense, he only felt that the heavens and the earth were long, all things were bleak, all kinds of past were unbearable, and all kinds of bitter memories were like streams, slowly flowing through his heart.

I have gone through thousands of sails, and my heart is like an ancient tree, and this young sister-in-law will have similar feelings, which is really surprising.

He slowly sat up straight, put away his contempt for this woman, too, what kind of family is the Xie family of Chenjun, Xie Yan admires this sister-in-law from afar but does not climb at will, it can be seen that she must have something extraordinary, it is not just empty beauty.

In his position, he has long practiced the ability to not be surprised and be happy and angry. Huan Xuan showed an undisguised expression of appreciation, and said: "The girl really has a unique perception of spices, this fragrance is not yet famous, can the girl have a favorite name?" ”

Hagi Niang clasped her hands and rubbed it, thought about it carefully and said: "This fragrance is faint, but the incense is close to the cypress pine wind, and it is elegant and quiet, so it is better to use the name of 'cypress'." The little girl is humble and doesn't laugh. ”

Huan Xuan was moved again, thinking to himself Is history really irrevocable, even the name of a small spice is the same as the original name.

Thinking of the history that he didn't remember very clearly, and thinking of his possible tragic end, a sense of anger appeared on his face: "What the girl said is very good, Xuan worships it." Suppressing his emotions, he smiled and served tea to the guests.

Hagi Niang didn't know why, so she politely blessed her body and said goodbye and left.
