Chapter 53: Marriage
"Jin'er...... Jin'er .................." Yao Shixing walked into the hall in the dust, shaking the snow on his body while shouting loudly.
"Old man......" helped Zijuan out of the back hall, Yao took the towel in the maid's hand, and personally cleaned the snow on his body, "Jin'er hasn't gotten up yet, you are so busy shouting, carefully startling the child......"
"Didn't get up?" Yao Shixing's eyes stood up, and he pointed out the window, "The sun is on three poles, and she can't get up yet" and said, "There are several pots of spices in the workshop, and she is still sleeping."
"Master, isn't it snowing...... "While giving the maid a look to call Yao Jin, Yao smiled and took the Tieguanyin handed by the maid, "It's snowing outside, the master will drink tea first to warm up......"
Originally, he was angry in his belly, but accompanied by a soft smile, Yao Shixing couldn't send it out if he wanted to, sat on the chair with his ass, waved at Zijuan, "Go, call it up......" turned again, and said seriously, "Jin'er is older, and when she gets married in the future, she will have to settle down in the morning and dusk, and she can't be so dependent on her temperament, it's time to teach her the rules......"
"Concubine ......" Yao's eyes turned red, "The concubine is such a daughter, I always hope that she can enjoy a few more days of happiness in front of the concubine......" Yu Guang saw Yao Shixing's face darkened, and Yao changed the topic, "...... The master is in such a hurry to call her, is there something? ”
"Li Da arrived in Shuoyang early in the morning, and he is rushing here from the set......" frowning, Yao Shixing said patiently.
“…… Li Yao was in high spirits for a while, "He really came in person?" Then he asked, "You didn't get to the door, and you went straight to the market?" ”
"I'm afraid you want to explore the market, right? There are not a lot of words" The competition in Xiangshi is getting more and more fierce, thinking that Li Jun's whereabouts are strange, and he sent a few passers-by to find out, Yao Shixing's eyes showed a trace of worry, "Let Jin'er quickly freshen up and meet the guests......" The tone was full of impatience.
“…… Does the master want Jin'er to marry the Li family? The slightly trembling voice was faintly excited.
The relationship between Yao Li's two families has been maintained so far, relying not only on the quality and reputation of spices, but also on marriage, most of which are married by the Yao family.
"With our family background, even if Li Da takes a fancy to Jin'er, I am afraid that he can only be a ......concubine," Yao Shixing sighed.
"Master......" Yao whispered, his tone faintly resentful.
Not to mention that the Yao family is a big family belonging to Shuoyang, it is a small family, and no one is willing to let their daughter be a concubine
"Why don't you ......" Hearing the reluctance in his voice, Yao Shixing hesitated for a while, "Just let Fang'er go?" ”
Yao Fang was born to the second aunt, one year younger than Yao Jin, but she was also exquisite, and after weighing it in her heart for a long time, Yao Shixing felt that although Yao Fang was a concubine, she couldn't be wronged by the Li family with her appearance.
"This ......" lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Let's let Jin'er go." ”
Even if she is a concubine, it is a supreme honor to be able to climb to the next generation of the Li family, the future head of the perfume industry, three times more majestic than the wife of the ordinary family, how can such a good opportunity be cheaper than others
……
“…… The virtuous nephew actually went to the market in person? Taking the big red robe from the maid, Yao Shixing personally poured a cup for Li Jun, and his tone was full of complaints, "Inform me, the old man should personally send someone to escort him, so as not to have a mistaken ...... nephew."
"Good tea ......" took a sip of the tea, Li Jun nodded and praised, "Thank you uncle for your concern, I just walked around, I never thought that Shuoyang's incense collection would be so lively......"
"The virtuous nephew doesn't know, this is this year's new big red robe, harvested from the steep cliff of Longyi, with narcissus, cinnamon fried ......" Listening to Li Jun's praise of tea, Yao Shixing was not good at picking up the topic just now and continued to complain about Li Jun's intentions, and then changed the topic, "This is the last episode of the New Year, and people from ten miles and eight towns are rushing to sell old goods, so it is naturally ......lively," and laughed, "...... After shopping, can the virtuous nephew have eye-catching goods? ”
I wasn't sure if the strange fragrance came from Yao Ji, and after a little hesitation, Li Jun turned to ask, "Didn't see my uncle's people go to the market?" ”
"I ......" Yao Shixing laughed out loud, "The virtuous nephew hasn't shipped yet, how dare the old man's spices be sold in the market?" ”
Could it be that incense is not Yao Ji's new product?
Li Jun frowned, "...... Is there any change in my uncle's sample this year? ”
"Virtuous nephew look at ......," Yao Shixing clapped his hands towards the door.
With a squeak, a slender and beautiful-looking and luxuriously dressed girl pushed the door in, followed by a row of little maids, dressed in green, each carrying a wooden carved tray covered with brocade.
"This is a little girl, her name is Yao Jin...... "is not a close relative, and it is rare to introduce her daughter's name to the outside world, after hearing this, Li Jun was slightly stunned, Yao Shixing has turned to Yao Jin, "Jin'er, hurry up and meet Li ......"
"Li An......" The willow waist is light, Yao Jinjiao said timidly, the afterglow fell on Li Jun, who was dressed in white and elegant like an immortal, her face was suddenly crimson, and she was stupid for a while.
"Miss Yao, ......" Li Jun stretched out his hand to help.
"Jin'er also sits ......" Seeing his daughter's gaffe, Yao Shixing coughed lightly.
Ignoring their father and daughter, Li Jun's eyes fell on the wooden carved trailer in front of him that had been removed from the brocade cover.
"This is the ...... used to make charcoal incense" Seeing Li Jun's eyes fall on a plate of sandalwood slices, Yao Jin took the opportunity to introduce, "The cut sandalwood slices are first soaked in wax tea overnight, and then mixed with dense wine and soaked overnight, and finally dried over slow fire...... Yao Jin chattered for a long time, and finally reached out and picked up a piece and handed it to Li Jun's nose, "You smell it, Master Lu's craftsmanship is absolutely top-grade......"
Sucking lightly, Li Jun nodded.
The same spice is used for different purposes, and the processing methods are also different, from the use to the processing, it can be said so thoroughly, this little girl also has a bit of spirituality, while thinking, Li Jun glanced at Yao Jin more.
Yao Jinyan smiled, revealing two sweet dimples, "...... Is what Jin'er said right? The tone was crisp and vivid, with the appearance of a child, only a pair of bright eyes without a hint of smile, but full of ambition.
This man's body is shiny and flowing, leisurely like a god, elegant like a fairy, she is going to settle
"Miss Yao is not bad...... I don't know what to do, seeing these eyes full of **, Li Jun subconsciously remembered Mu Wanqiu's big eyes that were clear and ethereal from no smile, he nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on another plate of agarwood.
"Jin'er learned incense at the age of three, and passed the three-pole perfumer at the age of seven......" Legend has it that Li Jun never pretended, it was not easy for him to have such an evaluation of Yao Jin, Yao Shixing took the opportunity to say, "She is quite spiritual about perfumery, she has applied for a second-level perfumer, and she is ready to go to the great cause exam, and I hope to have the opportunity to introduce one or two ...... to Master Gu."
Shuoyang Incense Guild also has the qualification to organize the examination of second-level perfumers, only perfumers above the first level must go to the Daye examination, but Yao Shixing insisted on asking her to go to Daye in the name of Yao Jin's second-level examination, and begged Li Jun to introduce Master Gu Qingu, in other words, he wanted Li Jun to take Yao Jin with him.
The heart of marriage is obvious
With his cheeks crimson, Yao Jin looked directly at Li Jun bravely.
His brows moved, and Li Jun's gaze fell back on Yao Jin, "...... Miss Yao really wants to worship Master Gu as a teacher? ”
"Being her apprentice is Jin'er's glory"
"Hmm......" Li Jun nodded, "Master Gu has a lonely and weird personality, and if you are not a spiritual enlightener, you won't be able to be her master ...... easily."
So to say that is a refusal?
"......" Yao Jin cried timidly, and there was mist in his charming eyes.
"If Miss Yao's Douxiang next year will be able to enter the top 30, I may be able to recommend one or two ......"
According to the past practice, those who can be seen and accepted as apprentices by Gu Qin are at least the top five in the Douxiang Club, and it depends on Gu Qin's mood.
"Jin'er ......" changed slightly, and Yao Shixing immediately laughed, "Thank you Li yet"
Not to mention the top 30, with Yao Jin's talent, it is not a problem to enter the top ten
With Li Jun's words, it was only a matter of time before Yao Jin went to Daye and stayed by his side.
“…… A gentleman said, it is difficult to chase the horse" The willow shoulders straightened, and Yao Jin said coquettishly.
Li Jun frowned.
“…… Jin'er is presumptuous," Yao Shixing feigned anger and said, "Li's person with a golden jade heart has promised you, how can he break his promise?" And he said, "Don't retreat yet."
Her eyes were immediately overflowing with mist, Yao Jin looked at Li Jun timidly, and continued to look at the spices with an indifferent expression, she pursed her lips vigorously, she was slightly blessed, and quietly retreated.
Without Yao Jin's noise in his ears, Li Jun quickly checked all the spice samples, and there was no cypress leaf incense he was looking for, he sighed secretly and selected more than a dozen spice samples, "That's all, the dosage is still the same as last time...... "There was a moment of silence, "It's still the old rule, each piece must be opened and sampled......
“…… Okay" Seeing that he picked up as many samples as before, the hanging heart suddenly let go, Yao Shixing responded briskly, "The old man will arrange for someone to count the ......shipments," he remembered, and asked, "Have you brought someone to inspect it?" ”
"Li Fan is waiting outside the hall, and the rest of the matter is that the uncle is looking for him, and there is ......" Yao Shixing turned around and ordered people to go out, but was stopped by Li Jun again, and pulled out a list from his sleeve, "I also took a good look at some spices on the set, and I trouble my uncle to call someone to load it......"
came to Shuoyang to buy goods, the Li family has never crossed the Yao family, and directly bought spices from other spices, even if it happened that the Yao family had no goods, they were all led by the Yao family.
Does Li Jun's doing this mean that the Li family is ready to break the pattern of Yao Ji's exclusive supply that has remained unchanged for many years?
Cultivating another supplier?
Taking the list from Li Jun's hand, Yao Shixing's fingers trembled slightly, he took a breath secretly, and he forced a calm smile, "Okay, okay, the old man will send someone to decorate the ......" and handed the list to the little guy behind him, "...... Is there anything else to do with the virtuous nephew? ”
Playing with the tea lid, after a long time, Li Jun coughed lightly, "I smelled a strange fragrance in the market today......" The voice paused, and he pondered and asked.
Yes By].
