Chapter 20 Someone Makes a Move
The maid looked flustered, and it seemed that something really happened to her. Guan Qingyue followed Ning Xianglan and sat on the soft Jiao, and soon came to Dongyuan.
Before he entered the inner room, he heard the voice of the woman crying inside. Guan Qingyue frowned, always feeling a bad premonition.
Mrs. Zhang fell on the tea table and wept bitterly, the broken hair on her forehead scattered on both sides of her cheeks, completely devoid of the brilliance of the previous days.
The old lady sat on the main seat with a gloomy face and didn't say a word, the fragments of the teacup in the middle of the ground were everywhere, Ning Xianglan looked at the mess in the place, covered her nose with a handkerchief, looked at Mrs. Zhang, and asked, "Mother-in-law, what's the important matter to let me come over so urgently?" Lang Zhong said that I need to recuperate now..."
"You still have the face to say!" The old lady scolded.
Ning Xianglan said unhappily: "What happened? ”
Mrs. Zhang rushed up and pointed at Guan Qingyue with hatred: "It's this maid, there is a problem with the incense powder used for me!" ”
When Mrs. Zhang got up, there was also a peculiar smell, which was so bad that almost the whole room could smell it.
Guan Qingyue immediately understood, and she stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Zhang, did you use the perfume I made to cause the smell?" ”
Mrs. Zhang was out of breath crying, and almost fainted, her maid hurriedly helped her to sit down, angrily took out the bottle of perfume from her arms, and asked: "Our wife used this bottle of perfume, and the smell only appeared at the flower banquet, what else do you have to say!" ”
Mrs. Zhang thought that at the flower viewing banquet that day, all the noblewomen praised her for her bright and beautiful today, but after a while, a bad and pungent smell came from her, which caused the noblewomen to exclaim and dislike, and the concubine felt that the smell on her body affected their flower appreciation, so she had to give her an eviction order. Soon this matter became the laughing stock of the Yecheng ladies chatting after dinner, such a shameful shame, Mrs. Zhang had the idea of suicide.
Guan Qingyue took the perfume and sniffed it towards the mouth of the bottle, but she didn't notice anything unusual, she sprayed a little more into the air, it was still a faint fragrance of osmanthus, and there was no unpleasant smell on Mrs. Zhang's body.
Guan Qingyue came to Mrs. Zhang and said softly, "Mrs. Zhang, can you show me where you have sprayed this perfume?" ”
Mrs. Zhang slowly raised her head, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked at Guan Qingyue as if she was looking at an enemy, and actually raised her hand and gave Guan Qingyue a slap.
The force of this slap was not small, Guan Qingyue almost fell to the ground, Qingyue covered her cheeks, her eyes were subconsciously moist, and she said in a firm tone: "Mrs. Zhang, I have suffered this slap, but let's make things clear first, I specially tried it for you when you were in the store, but you didn't have any adverse reactions at that time, and you didn't have allergies after you went back, and everyone saw it." And I guarantee that there is absolutely nothing in the perfume I make that is not good for you. ”
Mrs. Zhang sneered, "According to what you say, it's all mine, isn't it?" Could it be that I made myself like this? ”
Guan Qingyue hurriedly said: "Mrs. Zhang, I didn't mean that, but right now I have to see if there are any bad symptoms on your perfumed skin to know what is wrong." You've been sad like this, it's not a way, is it? ”
Mrs. Zhang glared at Guan Qingyue, stretched out her wrist, and said, "I want to see what tricks you can play, if you can't say anything, I will definitely send you to the government today!" You Yuan family don't want to have another business in Yecheng! ”
When the old lady next to her heard this, she yelled at Ning Xianglan angrily: "It's all a good thing you did!" I thought you had grown a lot, but the mud still couldn't hold up the wall! ”
Ning Xianglan retorted: "What does this matter to me? I didn't make this powder, so how do I know that? ”
"You! How dare you say it! The old lady propped up the low table with one hand, leaned forward, and glared at Ning Xianglan.
Ning Xianglan held her head and pinched her voice and said, "I have a headache very much.... The stomach is also uncomfortable.... Oops...."She glanced at Old Madam Yuan with a pair of charming eyes, and pretended to be weak and said: "Mama Yang, I bother you to invite me to invite a Lang Zhong.... I'm really sick...."
Mama Yang looked at the old lady hesitantly, and the old lady snorted coldly, "Don't pretend, your set will work in front of Annan!" ”
Guan Qingyue looked carefully at the skin on Mrs. Zhang's wrist, she found that the smell was not all over the body, mainly distributed in the armpits, palms, and other parts of the body that are prone to sweating, she asked the maid standing next to her to find a clean utensil, and poured the perfume part into the vessel, Qingyue looked at the perfume in the vessel, and muttered: "I didn't add Suhe to it...."
"Are you still finished? I think it's because you're not skilled enough to make the perfume go wrong! Mrs. Zhang said.
Guan Qingyue said: "Mrs. Zhang, I already know what went wrong, someone must have taken advantage of my inattention, moved his hands and feet inside, and added Su He to it." ”
"Suhe?" Everyone looked at Guan Qingyue suspiciously.
Guan Qingyue nodded, "Suhe is a precious spice, if used alone, it is no different from ordinary spices, but it is not suitable for smearing or spraying on human skin, because once Suhe is fused with sweat, it will emit a pungent smell. ”
