Chapter 214: Guilty of Petitioning

Xie Jinlan glanced at the guy up and down, with a bit of suspicion on his face: "How can anyone who buys flowers not say that they are fragrant with flowers?" How do you prove that the spices in your shop are harmless? ”

The guy choked up when he heard this, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them were dressed and talked and behaved well, he would have thought that they had come to find fault on purpose.

But in an instant, the guy gathered his thoughts and said with a smile:

"Not to mention our 'Xiangfang' in Xinlin County, even in Lingzhou, it is also somewhat famous. If the two sons don't believe what the little one says, they can go out and inquire. ”

Ruan Yezhen on the side gently tugged at the corner of Xie Jinlan's clothes, and then smiled at the guy: "Little brother, don't mind, my brother hasn't slept well in the past few days, so it's like this between words." ”

The guy shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't take it to heart: "The little one understands." ”

He's met all kinds of customers in the store, and he's met a hundred times more difficult than ever.

After a pause, the man continued: "If you can't sleep well, we have a soothing incense here that sells very well." ”

Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen exchanged a look, and Ruan Yezhen asked curiously: "Oh? Can you give us a look? ”

The guy replied, "It's natural." ”

After welcoming the two of them together, the man took out a palm-sized wooden box from the shelf, opened it, took out the crescent-white sachet inside and handed it to the two: "This is it." ”

Just as Ruan Yezhen raised her hand to take it, Xie Jinlan took a quick step and took it directly from the man's hand, and then put it under his nose and sniffed it gently. Then he looked at the guy with a slight frown:

"There's lavender here?"

The guy was not surprised that Xie Jinlan could find this, and nodded affirmatively:

"Childe's words are true, there is indeed lavender in it. Lavender relieves tension, calms the mind and calms the mind. Therefore, the spices we have here are basically mixed with lavender. ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Can lavender be compatible with other spices? ”

The guy didn't understand why Xie Jinlan had this question, but he still answered truthfully:

"The most taboo thing for us spice shops is to mix spices that can't be mixed together. However, lavender does not compete with other spices, so Childe can rest assured. ”

Xie Jinlan groaned slightly, and then said: "What is the mixture of lavender with that will cause people to fall asleep unconsciously?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the guy's eyes when he looked at Xie Jinlan suddenly became a little vigilant.

Ruan Yezhen knew that he had misunderstood, so she explained: "My brother means that he is worried that he will accidentally mix this spice with something, so he asked. ”

The man breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes moved slightly, recalling the attention to lavender that the shopkeeper had said earlier.

Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen were not in a hurry, and waited quietly.

After a while, the guy patted his hands lightly and said suddenly:

"The shopkeeper once mentioned to us that we should not eat milk when wearing spices containing lavender. But it smelled so bad that we didn't drink it here, and I almost forgot about it. ”

Xie Jinlan's eyes quickly crossed a trace of deep meaning, and said, "What if it is mixed?" ”

The guy waved his hand lightly and said, "It's not a big deal." As Childe said before, he was just asleep for about five hours. ”

Xie Jinlan's hand holding the sachet tightened slightly, and his face did not show dark color.

Ruan Yezhen also quickly collected the strangeness in her eyes, and smiled at the guy: "Thank you little brother for the reminder." We will ask for five of these sachets for the time being, and if the effect is good, we will take care of them again. ”

When the guy heard this, he suddenly smiled more sincerely: "The two sons wait a minute, and the younger one will be fetched." ”

Before the words fell, he turned around and walked quickly towards the place covered by the curtain behind him.

After leaving the incense shop, the two went directly to the county office.

When he received a report from his subordinates that the prefect of Lingzhou was visiting, Jiang Yingyu had just learned that his youngest son had offended him, and he was asking Steward Yan to come over to discuss how to make amends.

In the flower hall, Jiang Yingyu glared at Jiang Xingqi on the side: "Look at the good things you have done!" Don't you know to inquire about the identity of the other party before you make trouble? Now I want Lao Tzu to wipe your ass! ”

Although Jiang Xingqi looks arrogant and domineering outside, he is the most obedient in front of Jiang Yingyu.

Jiang Yingyu loves him, not only because he is a son, but also because of his sweet mouth.

Seeing Jiang Yingyu's anxious and annoyed look, Jiang Xingqi lowered his head very interestingly: "Dad, it's mine, it's not mine, you can punish me however you want, just don't be angry." ”

When Jiang Yingyu heard this, most of the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he shook his head and sighed deeply.

As soon as Steward Yan entered the flower hall, he saw Jiang Yingyu with a sad face, and Jiang Xingqi who was standing obediently with his head down.

Hearing the movement, Jiang Yingyu hurriedly asked Steward Yan to come in, and after telling Jiang Xingqi how he provoked Xie Jinlan, he couldn't wait to ask:

"Steward Yan, what do you say this official should do? Just now, someone came to report the visit, and I'm afraid I'm about to arrive in the hall at this moment, and I don't know if he is looking for this official Xingshi to ask for guilt. ”

Steward Yan stroked his short beard thoughtfully, and said:

"Don't worry, my lord, according to the old slave, if Lord Xie wanted to ask the teacher for sin, he would not let the young master leave at that time in the wine shop. Coming here at this moment, I'm afraid there is something else important. ”

When Jiang Yingyu heard this, he nodded very approvingly:

"What Steward Yan said is reasonable. It's just that even if Master Xie doesn't mention it, this official can't be regarded as if it didn't happen. In your opinion, how can the official make amends so that he can appear sincere? ”

Steward Yan frowned and pondered for a moment, then glanced at Jiang Xingqi without saying anything.

Jiang Yingyu suddenly said: "If Steward Yan has any idea, just say it." ”

Steward Yan said: "Please also forgive the old slave." The old slave thought that Lord Xie's father was the head of the imperial merchants, and there was no shortage of gold, silver and jade, and if the Lord gave those, Lord Xie might not be able to see it. Why don't you ......"

Steward Yan paused, and before Jiang Yingyu opened his mouth to urge, he continued: "Why don't you follow the example of the ancients and let the little boy take the blame." ”

When Jiang Xingqi heard this, he immediately raised his head in shock: "Steward Yan, are you serious?" ”

Steward Yan said: "Naturally, I didn't let the little boy take off his shirt and put thorns on his back to ask for guilt." It's just that it's inevitable that the little boy will suffer something. ”

Jiang Yingyu immediately understood what Steward Yan meant: "You mean to say, bitter meat tricks?" ”

Steward Yan bowed slightly: "Yes, Master Xie is not short of those external objects now, and only this method can let him see the sincerity of the apology." ”
