The late autumn wind blows, with a slight coolness.

Su Jiu sniffed the laurel fragrance in the wind and suddenly smiled.

The nine-year-old girl, wearing a green skirt, looks immature and delicate when she laughs, like a budding green lotus.

Sifeng Yuan was inexplicably uneasy, and asked sharply: "What are you laughing at?!" ”

"Sifeng Yuan, you really didn't see Xu Zizhu today?"

"Of course! I don't even know when she entered the garden! ”

Su Jiu took a sip of tea, "Then you probably don't know what kind of incense the Luo skirt Xu Zizhu is wearing today." ”

Sifengyuan frowned.

She only knew that Xu Zizhu had lost her sense of smell, and a woman who couldn't smell anything, how could she have the heart to incense her dress?

Su Jiu's smile is even bigger:

"Although the deceased is the greatest, but to be honest, Miss Xu is indeed a person who is not very broad-minded. She lost her sense of smell herself, so she also concocted a poisonous incense according to the incense recipe written at the time of yesterday's big competition.

"The poisonous incense is very domineering, and it is even more toxic than the incense pill that Harutaro took out yesterday. In the world, only Xu Zizhu, who has lost her sense of smell, will refine this kind of incense pill that harms her sense of smell regardless of it.

She had smoked the poisoned incense on her dress, and anyone who had been with her, if not lost their sense of smell, would not be able to smell anything for the time being. Sifeng Courtyard, now you, can you smell the laurel fragrance? ”

Sifengyuan's expression changed greatly.

Hua Lao didn't know when he appeared, and stared fiercely at Sifeng Courtyard, "The smell on your body is the same as Zizhu!" You keep saying that you haven't seen her, why are you contaminated with her poisonous fragrance?! ”

The lover was killed, and Hua Lao was furious.

Si Fengyuan's expression gradually became hideous and distorted.

She drew her knife suddenly!

"Su wine, it's all you! I want you dead! ”

The woman roared and rushed towards Su Jiu with a thunderous momentum!

At the last moment,

A silver-white string came in the air!

The strings wrapped around Si Fengyuan's wrist, and blood overflowed!

Huashan Yuan held a luodian red sandalwood five-string pipa in his arms, frowning and blocking in front of Su Jiu, "Sifeng Yuan, what you are doing is too ugly!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Sifengyuan screamed, "This woman is extremely hateful, I have to kill her in order to go further on the incense path!" ”

A young man in white, with a clean appearance.

He nodded apologetically at Su Jiu, "I will give you an explanation, and I will give Daqi an explanation." ”

He turned sideways and raised his hand towards Xiao Tingxiu and Xu Jishui to ask, "This woman will no longer be my Dongying people." The mistakes she makes, she will take them all in. Please. ”

Sifengyuan was almost crazy, "How dare you?!" I'm Kazama-sama's apprentice, and I'm the daughter of a daimyo! Hanayamain, you're just the illegitimate son of the Genji family, how dare you assert yourself?! When I get back to Dongying, I'll kill you!" Huashan Temple, Su Jiu, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you——! ”

The woman screamed arrogantly, and was gagged by Xu Jishui with a rag, before she struggled to be dragged away.

The people who watched the excitement sighed and dispersed.

Xiao Tingxiu and Xu Jishui also returned to the yamen with their own people.

The Lotus Champs finally quieted down.

Huashan Yuan handed over the five-stringed pipa to the next person, and arched his hand towards Su Jiu, "Today's incident has frightened Miss Su." The laurel is blooming well over there, shall we go for a walk? ”

Behind him, Asuka Kosakata also came.

The little girl poked out half of her little face curiously and timidly and looked at Su Jiu.

It just so happened that Su Jiu wanted to ask her about planting plants, so he answered.

The laurel groves are quiet and secluded.

Huashan Yuan said softly: "Miss Su, the people in Dongying are not all like Sifeng Courtyard. If there is a chance in the future, Miss Su must go to Toei and see Sensoji Temple in Edo Castle and the castle tower in Osaka Castle. I can also take you to Kyoto's Noh theater and puppet Joruri theater, and then take you to Izu hot springs to taste a variety of Toei cuisine. ”

Su wine politely praised.

She looked at Kosakata, "Miss Kosakata, your incense is very special. Do you know a lot about plants? ”

Kosakada's cheeks were slightly red, and he nodded shyly, "It's good if you call me Asuka......"

Huashanyuan said with a smile: "The Asuka family has cultivated all kinds of exotic flowers and plants for generations, and you asked her questions about plants, which is the right person." ”

Su Jiu's eyes lit up, "That's right, there is a hundred-year-old laurel tree growing in the alley of my house, but it began to wither, let alone bloom, many years ago. I'd love to revive it, what's your idea? ”
