Chapter 104: Spice Preparation

A whistle sounded, but no one heard. Several horses suddenly stopped and collided, turned back quickly, and disappeared without a trace before anyone could see clearly, without even seeing a horse's tail.

Chaotic, although the wedding team is very chaotic, but the brides are standing in front of their respective sedan chairs intact, except for the scene just now is a little messy and chaotic, and there is no mistake or omission. King Huai cursed a bad breath, asked the team to be put in order, and continued to move forward. After King Huai left, King Ning took the sedan chair and headed towards King Ning's mansion.

But no one thought that the bride in the sedan chair was no longer the one they each wanted to marry.

After worshipping the church, everything is a certainty, and no one can change it.

That night, Mu Xuefu lay in Jing Rong's arms and slept very peacefully. The gift she had booked early would definitely satisfy King Huai and King Ning.

In the morning, it was still ten miles of red makeup, and Lang was a concubine, and in the evening, the moment the hijab was lifted, I knew what it meant to make people and be powerless to return to the sky.

was originally a good couple, but it became two resentful couples, and now the imperial city is lively. Not only did everyone whisper, but even storytellers adapted this matter into a joke to increase the joy of everyone before and after tea.

The next day, King Huai and King Ning both kept gloomy faces, occasionally glancing at each other, and also exuding unkind eyes.

Mistakenly got on the sedan chair and wasted all their previous plans. King Huai resented King Ning for snatching away the loyal and brave Hou he wanted to woo, and King Ning hated King Huai for giving him a broken flower and a willow.

The raw rice has been cooked and cooked, and each can only settle his destiny, but the enmity between King Huai and King Ning is even if it is settled because of this matter.

Jing Rong came back from the top and told Mu Xuefu about this strange thing, but she didn't want to finish speaking, she just nodded lightly and didn't react.

"Aren't you surprised? Why are you so indifferent? ”

Mu Xuefu was adjusting the incense powder, and when he asked like this, he stopped what he was doing, raised his face outside, and said, "Do you still use you to come back and tell me about it?" Naturally, someone told me about it as if it were a storyteller. It's much more exciting than you, and even the faces of King Ning and King Huai when they lift their hijabs are clearly described. If you want me to say, the two of them are called dumb people who eat Coptis chinensis, and they can't say anything about their suffering. ”

Jing Rong looked up and saw two girls standing under the plum tree, one was wearing purple clothes and the other was wearing red clothes.

Without him asking, Mu Xuefu shouted at the two of them: "Zi Yao, Hong Shao, don't be busy, you don't even know that the prince is coming, and you don't come in to meet the prince." ”

Hearing Mu Xuefu's call, the two of them immediately put down their work and ran in. Zi Yao looked excited, and when she saw Jing Rong, she hurriedly saluted and greeted: "Lord Wang, ten thousand blessings." ”

Jing Rong nodded, "It's good to come back, and I will serve the princess with my heart in the future." ”

Hong Shao was cheerful, although it was the first time he saw King Chen, he was not restrained, he saluted him, and said in a playful voice: "See the prince, the prince is blessed with gold." Without waiting for Jing Rong to ask, he introduced himself like pouring beans, "Lord, the slave is called Hong Shao, red is the red with red light, and Shao is the Shao of the great Shaohua." If the prince has anything to do in the future, just ask Hong Shao for help, don't be embarrassed. ”

Jing Rong was a little overwhelmed by her straightforward temperament, and was slightly stunned, but felt that this temperament was really interesting, and said, "Just serve the princess well." He looked at Mu Xuefu again and asked, "Why didn't you bring it before?" ”

Mu Xuefu waved them away before saying, "Father saw that I had taken Jin Lu away, and he was afraid that there were too few people around me to serve him, so he knew that I intended to let Zi Yao come back, so he assigned her to replace Jin Lu as well." ”

"It's a good temperament, but it's a bit talkative." At the mention of Mu Zhaolin, Jing Rong unconsciously squinted his eyes, and a little vigilance rose in his heart, "Has she been serving Zuo Xiang?" But when I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion several times, why didn't this king see it. ”

Mu Xuefu naturally knew that he was always wary of Mu Zhaolin, as long as it was Mu Zhaolin's person, he would be careful. Mu Xuefu patted the position beside her and said, "Don't worry, the prince just came back from other places, and she has been serving me, and she has nothing to do with her father." ”

was seen through his thoughts, Jing Rong was not angry, but smiled helplessly. He is thinking in his heart many times now, and she can know it without saying it, but he flatly denied it: "This king is afraid that she was arranged by someone with ulterior motives, just like Hanxiang." However, she belongs to your family, so there is nothing to worry about. ”

Mu Xuefu began to tinker with the things in his hand again, but replied to him, "Don't you still believe in my people?" ”

"Believe, naturally believe." Jing Rong sat behind her, hugged her waist, looked at the bottles and cans she was upside down, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you doing?" ”

"Can't you see that?" Mu Xuefu took out the dendrobium soaked in warm water, and then used the stone mortar pestle to make mud, she knocked it again and again, and then changed the way to twist lightly, "I'm making incense." ”

"Make incense? Isn't there anything for sale outside? Why do it yourself? Jing Rong was puzzled, frowned, and looked at her so hard, so he grabbed it directly and helped her do it.

"How can what I sell compare with what I make with my own hands, and besides, I don't have this incense outside." Although Jing Rong helped, Mu Xuefu was not idle, and took out the dipterocarp in a small box and grinded it, "The incense I want to make is called Dingwai, now this incense has been lost, and it can't be sold on the market at all, I still saw it from ancient books, so I got it and gave it a try." ”

Jing Rong crushed the dendrobium into mud in a few clicks, "Dingwai? This name sounds a bit special, does it have any meaning? ”

"Buddhism talks about precepts, concentration, and wisdom, and when meditating and meditating, they all regard meditation as one of the most special realms, and meditation is the beginning of meditation, and there is often a fragrance to accompany it, and this incense is a good friend outside the concentration, so it is called Dingwai." Looking at Jing Rong's puzzled expression, Mu Xuefu handed over the dipterocarp that had not been crushed into fine powder to him again, "The Queen Mother will leave the palace to practice meditation in a few days, I want to make this kind of incense and talk about filial piety." ”

Jing Rong was stunned, not wanting her to make incense so hard for the sake of the imperial grandmother, she was grateful in her heart, and said: "You bothered, the imperial grandmother will be happy to receive this incense." Then let's do it quickly, and send it to the palace as soon as it's done. What's next? ”

Mu Xuefu didn't want him to be a big man and take the initiative to help him do the trivial things that these women do, so he groaned slightly, and then said: "Oh, next, filter out the sticky juice with gauze, mix this agarwood and dipterocarp here, and dry the dendrobium after taking the juice and beat it into a fine powder." Mix these together and steam them three times over a silver container over low heat."

"It's not that hard, is it?" Jing Rong followed the method she said, step by step, and quickly took shape.

"It's not difficult to make incense, it's the heart that matters. If the Queen Mother knew that this incense was made by the two of us, she would be very happy. Ming'er, I will enter the palace and send it to the queen mother and her old man, and you will accompany me. The smart eyes are like stars in the night sky, the moon is bright, Mu Xuefu leaned on Jing Rong's side, with a pleading tone, and said coquettishly: "Lord, I heard that Chong'en Temple is not only full of incense, but also the nearby scenery is picturesque, why don't you wait for the Queen Mother to go back, let's go and play with it for a few days, okay?" Although royal men can't touch Buddhist scriptures and the like, they won't let them go to the temple for a walk. ”

"The Buddha is a place to eat fasting and recite Buddha, how can it be a place for you to play, if you want to play, in a few days, King Xiu Mu will take you to Zhuangzi to live overnight." Jing Rong picked up Mu Xuefu and put it on the soft floor, took off her deep clothes, and lay beside her with only a shirt. Now that I've been with her for a long time, like her, I dress casually when I'm at home. Jing Rong hugged her and kissed Mu Xuefu on the face, "This king has always said that he will take you to Zhuangzi to play, but he didn't go there, but as long as he is free, this king will take you over." ”

In fact, Mu Xuefu didn't want to go to Zhuangzi much, but Jingrong mentioned it many times, which made her a little curious, curious why Jingrong always said to take her there. Is there anything good in Zhuangzi?

She pillowed on Jingrong's shoulder and rubbed her wrist, "What is so special about Zhuangzi that is worthy of the prince recommending to me three times and twice?" ”

"Nature is unique." After a pause, Jing Rong deliberately sold Guan Zi to stop and not speak.

This really caught Mu Xuefu's attention, and she saw that her eyes lit up like flames, staring at the scene with a blank eye, and asked with interest, "What's unique?" Are there countless treasures of gold and silver, silk and silk? "Mu Xuefu has no hobbies, her only interest is in gold and silver jewelry, in her opinion, everything in this world will betray you, only money will not.

Jing Rong looked at her eyes full of pampering, and pinched her nose, "Is that all you seek?" Does my Chenwang Mansion lack your silver flowers, or do you wear short clothes, or do you lack jewelry? ”

As soon as she heard this, Mu Xuefu suddenly lost interest, turned her head to turn her back on him, and said: "The concubine is very vulgar, I only know that these things can be around, and the others are all empty." ”

"You little money fan, why didn't this king find out before?" Jing Rong hugged her from behind, put it in her ear, and whispered, "This is unique"

Before he finished speaking, Zi Yao ran in, and saw the master and the prince hugging each other intimately, first his eyes widened and he forgot what he wanted to say, and then he saw the master's inquiring eyes, and hurriedly said: "Master, Princess Yu is here, and she has brought a lot of gifts, so she went to the front hall when she spoke." ”

Mu Xuefu hesitated, raised her eyebrows and looked at Jingrong, wondering, "Why is she here?" It won't be to find fault with her, I haven't messed with her these days. ”

"No, didn't you hear Zi Yao say that she came with a gift?" Jing Rong was also surprised, but when she thought about it, she didn't dare to do anything here. Standing up, he pulled Mu Xuefu, "Go, look at it, see what moth she has come out of." ”

"Don't go." Mu Xuefu grabbed his hand, "This is a matter between women's back houses, you can't mix." After thinking about it, he stood up and straightened his clothes, "I can handle her myself, you just wait here." ”
