Chapter Eighty-Eight: Scattering (I)

"Well, I met the third brother and said a few words and delayed for a while."

Huaxi found a place to sit down next to Youlan. He Ze sat next to Tian Ruyu, and he didn't know what to say.

Huaxi listened to Yun Lin and a few of them talking with a tea cup, only to realize that Yun Lin was angry just now, and ran to find Cheng Xiaoxuan's theory, but Cheng Xiaoxuan didn't even apologize, and left under the pretext that a guest was throwing his sleeves away.

Seeing that the person who clings to himself on weekdays suddenly doesn't care about himself, and this thing that belongs to him is suddenly lost, can you not be sad? Yun Lin was thin-skinned, and was squeezed by Cheng Xiaoxuan, so she cried angrily, but fortunately, Wanlan and the others were relieved on the side, so it was better.

Wanlan took the handkerchief to wipe Yun Lin's tears, "Okay, Brother Xuan is a child's temper, and he can't pull back eight horses when he is in trouble, why do you have to meet him in general." Don't be sad, my aunt will see it later, and she will say who bullied you. ”

"Brother Xuan treats his sister very well on weekdays, and his sister shouldn't shake her face to show him at every turn. He was angry today, too. If you occasionally say a soft word, he won't be so ......" Yun Ning said that he was persuading Yun Lin, and the Tao was more like speaking for Brother Xuan, and it was not Yun Lin's number.

Yun Lin raised her eyebrows and glanced at Yun Ning, "I want you to take care of his affairs, don't think I don't understand your mind... Don't think you can do something? Not to mention that it's useless for you to think about it."

Yun Ning was deflated and closed her mouth stupidly.

After a while, Mu Xiangqing came with Lin Ge'er in his arms, and symbolically asked Lin Ge'er to greet the sisters of the family, and the sisters stuffed gifts into Lin Ge'er's arms, all of which were gold and silver locks, zodiac signs and other small objects. Brother Lin made a lot of money, and when she couldn't hold it, she called Huaxi to stuff it into her arms, causing Huaxi to be teased by others, and finally made a big red face.

Everyone laughed a little, but forgot the unhappiness just now.

Mu Xiangqing asked the nurse to take Brother Lin away, and greeted a group of little girls for dinner.

After finishing the meal, everyone sat down for a while and chatted with Mu Xiangqing before getting up to say goodbye.

Before going out, Mu Xiangqing's eyes kept wandering over Huaxi and Mu Xiuyuan, Huaxi said goodbye to her and got into the car quietly, Mu Xiuyuan didn't look at her, and after talking to Cheng Xiaoxuan, he got on the horse, Mu Xiangqing withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and told them a few words to let them leave.

The day after returning home, Huaxi received a large round box of red peonies sent by Zong Wanlan, which was wrapped in a row of more than a dozen white incense blocks that were round and large like thumbs in oiled paper and flannel.

Huaxi recognized at a glance that this was smoked land incense, that is, frankincense. Frankincense can not only be used for fragrance, but also for medicine, and has many effects. In the previous life, Huaxi saw the information that recorded that the smoked land incense was produced in the deep mountains and valleys of the south of the Great Food Country, and its trees were similar to pine trees. People use axes to cut through the bark of trees, so that the resin overflows, condenses into incense, gathers into pieces, and then transports them by elephants to the Great Food Country, and then loads them on ships and transports them to various places.

Frankincense is divided into high-grade incense according to grade, and these are all incense picks sent by Zong Wanlan this time.

The next product is called bottle milk, the color is slightly yellow, and the second product is called bottle incense, which means that when collecting, measure the weight and put it into the bottle, and the bottle fragrance is divided into three grades; Another product is called bag incense, and when the same bottle of incense is collected, the meaning of placing the bag is also divided into three grades.

The second is the milk collapse, which melts on the surface of the ship, so there are impurities of sand and gravel; Then there is the black collapse and the wet black collapse, because the transportation process is soaked with water, the aroma has changed. The worst is the quality mixed with the broken nitrate of the incense and the tangled incense that kicks up dust foam in the wind.

In this world, there is no big food country, only Xiyue and unknown small countries west of Xiyue make this thing, and Xiyue is the largest producer of smoked land incense. Because of the frequent wars with Xiyue for many years, the incense incense in Shangjing is transported from the west of Xiyue by some businessmen, so there are mostly bottles of incense in Shangjing, and only the rich and noble can afford to use bottle milk, as for the high-grade incense, the price is higher in Dahua.

This box of smoked land incense is worth a lot of money, and it is impossible to find so many roots in Mufu, and it is more than enough to exchange it for the five water porcelain inkstones.

Huaxi thought to herself, it seems that the inkstone is really important to Zong Xuyang. However, this person really did what he said, he just returned the deed paper yesterday, and today he asked someone to send the incense in the name of Wanlan, and the action was really fast.

Holding this box of smoked incense, Huaxi really felt a little reluctant to get these things from Zong Xuyang's hands without work. It was a well-intentioned concession to make it as if she owed someone else in the end, and she thought about going back and making some incense products to return to the Zong family.

Huaxi had just asked Mu Xi to put away a box of frankincense, and Cui Ming came in and reported that the old lady had invited the girl to the Lotus Courtyard.

When she arrived at the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, the old lady beckoned her to sit on the couch with a smile. Huaxi was a little surprised, and saluted and sat down next to the old lady.

"I went to see the princess of Nanping County today, and I happened to meet Princess Luoxi. The princess said that she liked the incense you made, so I promised to make some for you and help her make some more. The princess was happy, and said that the eldest princess would hold a flower viewing party in Qionglin Garden in Xishan a few days ago, and invited you sisters to go together. ”

When she heard Princess Luoxi mention herself, and the old lady promised that she would make her own incense, Huaxi couldn't help but think of Ouyang Zheng.

Huaxi was stunned on the side, and the old lady thought that she didn't understand the difference between the Qionglin Garden flower viewing party, and explained: "The eldest princess's flower viewing party is not large, and generally only the royal family is invited, at least the family members of the prince and the first product can go." This is an opportunity that no one else can look forward to. ”

Hearing the old lady say this, Huaxi naturally understood, isn't this just like the salon of the upper class, not everyone can go, and the status of the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion is not qualified to participate, no wonder people like the old lady are also a little "flattered".

"Hmm." Huaxi didn't show too much expectation, but her face was slightly red and seemed a little embarrassed, and she said shyly, "I just made some light and elegant incense products before my head, and it will be good to make them for more than ten days, just give them to the princess." As for the flower viewing party in Qionglin Garden, let's let the sisters go. ”

"Well, you child, the princess has indicated that she wants you to go. Besides, your sisters are also naked...... It's not a day and a half that you learn etiquette from your grandmothers, and you act steadily on weekdays, which is better than your sisters. Prepare your incense for the princess. As for the flower viewing party, the princess will send someone to deliver the post in advance. ”

Huaxi nodded in agreement, and the old lady told her to have more snacks before letting her go.

Along the way, after thinking about it, Huaxi always felt that Princess Luoxi's mention of incense making was Ouyang Zheng's meaning, was he looking for a reasonable explanation for his incense making? Thinking of that grim face, Huaxi still didn't believe that he would be so careful, maybe it was just a coincidence... But this thing invisibly helped me, saving myself from preaching again......

Thinking of this, Hua Xi hooked the corners of her lips and laughed at herself, because of the strange emotions that Ouyang Zheng had just now, and because of thinking about what might happen in the future, it disappeared.

After hearing that Princess Luoxi invited the girls of the Mu family to Qionglin Garden to enjoy the flowers because she liked the incense of Huaxi, Yun Lin and Yun Ning had different thoughts, but the two of them went to Qixia Garden to thank them.

When Yun Lin and Yun Ning arrived, Huaxi was still in the incense room, and when she heard that the two were coming, she asked Cui Ming to invite the two of them into the east room to sit, and went back to the house to change her clothes. When Huaxi arrived in the east room, Yun Lin and Yun Ning were sitting quietly in the house eating tea.

"Why did the sisters come together today?"

Yun Ning excitedly took Huaxi's hand, "Our sisters can go to the eldest princess's flower viewing party with your blessing, why don't you come over early to thank Engong?" ”

Huaxi smiled and said: "Seventh sister said that she was laughing, why should your sisters be polite." This matter was also mentioned by Princess Rossi when she met the old lady, and if you want me to say that it is Princess Rossi who looks at the old lady's face. ”

Although Yun Lin is not angry about Huaxi's light, this kind of opportunity is hard to find in the world, and Huaxi's eyes are much better than before, "You don't have to be humble, if there is no incense from you, how can Princess Luoxi invite our sisters to go." ”

Huaxi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Where is it because of my incense?" To tell my sisters the truth, I had already agreed to Ouyang Shi some time ago about making incense for Princess Luoxi, so the matter of the flower viewing party was the princess giving the old lady face, and it was really not because of me. ”

Yun Lin and Yun Ning were stunned.

Cui Ming, who was waiting in the house, changed her face slightly, and she looked at Huaxi vigorously, but Huaxi didn't realize it, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip, which made Cui Ming anxious but couldn't interject.

Yun Lin was full of thoughts, and couldn't help but glance at Huaxi, who was drinking tea with his head down, and scolded in his heart, this little slut has good luck and good means, just with his incense-making skills, and that seductive appearance to attract a Chengjun king's heart, and now he hooked up with Ouyang Shi again. The vixen is the vixen.,Hmph, if this flower viewing party is the meaning of the world and not the princess.,Then ...... No, you have to think of a way to do it......

Yun Ning also lowered her head and pondered, Princess Luoxi knew that the incense was given by the Mu family, and she didn't necessarily care who made it, it must have been Ouyang Shi who told the princess. I really didn't see it, Huaxi usually doesn't show mountains and water, when did he climb Ouyang Shi again?

Yun Ning thought about it, then raised his head and asked, "Hey, Ouyang Shixun's sister makes incense?" My sister rarely goes out on weekdays, when did she see Ouyang Shi? ”

Huaxi replied: "It's the time of the Shangsi Qinghu Poetry Meeting." Cui Ming and I got lost in the bamboo forest, and happened to meet the king of Shihe Chengjun, and later sent Huaxi to Xinghuawu. Huaxi thanked the world for sending it, and the world mentioned that she wanted to make incense for the princess. Huaxi didn't have any other skills, so he should have gone down at that time. ”

"Oh" Yun Ning responded, pulling the corners of her lips and smiling dryly, her eyes flashed with ridicule, if it is said that King Chengjun is interested in Huaxi, but now that Mrs. Yu is pregnant, Huaxi probably has no hope of entering the county king's mansion. Unexpectedly, she actually fell into Ouyang Shi's eyes again. Although Ouyang Shi was born handsome, he was a cold-faced person, and since the death of the concubine, many noble girls wanted to marry into the Ouyang family, but he refused. Ouyang Shi, who has rarely taken the initiative to talk to people, would ask Huaxi to make incense, which is really unusual?

Yun Ning couldn't figure it out, how could the "Hades" look down on Huaxi, a wild species who didn't even know who his father was?

At this time, Yun Lin and Yun Ning were jealous and hateful, Hua Xi looked at the two of them coldly, and they didn't care, but talked about the incense she wanted to make for the princess. Where can the two people with their own thoughts still listen, and they didn't sit for a moment before they got up and said goodbye under the pretext of something. ()
