Chapter Eighty-Five: Youth
She went out today to go to the eastern suburbs to relax, who would have thought that the road was blocked by someone, "Let's take a detour." ”
Ma Yan'er thought about it and decided to make a detour, but before the carriage turned around, she heard Zhang Guihua's cry.
"I'm really miserable, my mother-in-law was beaten to death, my husband left early, I didn't even leave a son and a half daughter, and finally a concubine gave birth to a daughter, and that daughter is also vicious, and she refuses to be a flower for me, a big uncle, and it was in vain that my eldest aunt pulled her big with a handful of and urine, this Mu Qingqing is really a white-eyed wolf."
Hearing Zhang Guihua shout Mu Qingqing's name, Ma Yan'er's eyes were startled, and she hurriedly asked the maid to stop the carriage, and walked off the carriage in three steps and two steps, Ma Yan'er pushed away the people around Zhang Guihua, looked inside, and saw the fat and somewhat arrogant Zhang Guihua, Ma Yan'er rolled her eyes and had a plan in her heart.
"Do you know Mu Qingqing?" Ma Yan'er asked Zhang Guihua.
As soon as Zhang Guihua looked up and saw that it was a well-dressed rich lady who was asking, her demeanor immediately became respectful, and she replied to Ma Yan'er, "Yes, I am Mu Qingqing's eldest aunt." ”
Ma Yan'er nodded when she heard this, and then glanced at the bleeding Wang clan on the ground, and then ordered the official to leave.
"I also know her, and it is fate to meet her, this mother-in-law's illness, I spent money to treat her, if there is a shortage of silver in the future, just come to me." After Ma Yan'er said this, she untied the purse and threw it to Zhang Guihua, who hurriedly took the purse, which was heavy, and there were more than 20 taels of silver in it.
"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss, you are simply a living Bodhisattva!" Looking at the white silver, Zhang Guihua only felt that it was pie in the sky.
"I am friends with Mu Qingqing, and it is also appropriate to help her aunt, if you have needs in the future, just come to the Taishi Mansion to find me." Ma Yan'er dropped these words and got into the carriage again.
The carriage drove slowly all the way, and on the way, the maid asked Ma Yan'er in confusion, "Miss, what are you doing here?" Why give them silver? Don't you have a bad relationship with Mu Qingqing? ”
Hearing this, Ma Yan'er sneered, and a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes, "Didn't you see it?" Mu Qingqing's eldest aunt doesn't deal with her, as long as her eldest aunt is alive, she will keep making trouble with her, this is what I want to see. ”
The maid nodded knowingly, and the young lady was really shrewd.
After Zhang Guihua left, Zhou Liuyun's expression was still not very good, Mu Qingqing looked at such a mother, and felt a little uncomfortable, she gently patted Zhou Liuyun's back a few times and comforted, "Mother, don't worry, even if Zhang Guihua doesn't know the general situation, she doesn't dare to be rude in front of the county order." As for the crime that they burned down our house, they didn't care about it anyway. ”
After listening to Mu Qingqing's words, Zhou Liuyun nodded slightly, but no matter how she said it, she was also the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and not honoring her parents was enough to make her soak in the pig cage.
Looking at Zhou Liuyun like this, Mu Qingqing also understood her difficulties in her heart, and it seemed that she had to clear up the relationship with the Wang family as soon as possible, otherwise, no matter how good their life was, this piece of dog skin plaster would not be able to get rid of it.
It's just that the most critical thing at the moment is the fragrance assessment.
Within a few days, the notice of the township assessment was sent, and the location of the assessment was next to the bachelor's mansion.
After Mu Qingqing entered, he saw Weng Feiran, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "How could it be you?" ”
A smile rose at the corner of Weng Feiran's mouth and narrowed his eyes, "This matter was proposed by me to the imperial brother, so naturally I have full authority to handle it." ”
The questions in the assessment are all set by his uncle who borrowed from various records about spices, and the first level is relatively simple, which is to recognize and recognize fragrance.
"Behave well, with your ability, you will definitely win the championship." Weng Feiran patted Mu Qingqing's head, with a touch of tenderness in his expression.
Mu Qingqing nodded and didn't say anything more, the written test was about to start, she was going to prepare, but she didn't think that when she entered the courtyard, she saw a familiar figure, that person was none other than Caiping.
Caiping wore a red skirt, and the whole person was dressed up extremely conspicuously, and she walked in with her head held high, her expression full of disdain.
Seeing the color screen again, Mu Qingqing's expression was still a little surprised, after all, according to Ma Yan'er's revenge temperament, the color screen should not be able to come back alive from her hands.
Caiping took two steps and found that someone was blocking his way, so he couldn't help frowning, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the person was Mu Qingqing, and there was a touch of hatred in his expression.
"Why, are you surprised to see that I'm still alive? Mu Qingqing, I will definitely pay you back all the harm you have done to me. Suddenly bumped into Mu Qingqing, the color screen's expression became more and more difficult to see, she clenched her fists tightly, eager to tear Mu Qingqing into two pieces now.
Hearing Caiping's words, Mu Qingqing smiled helplessly, and a touch of mockery flashed in his eyes, "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, your current fate has nothing to do with me, but I don't know when Miss Ma was so kind-hearted and would let you go." ”
"The person who offended Miss Ma is you Mu Qingqing, not me, Mu Qingqing, you wait well, your retribution is still ahead, the first place in today's preliminary examination must be me!" Caiping said lightly, glared at Mu Qingqing, and walked into the inner hall.
Looking at her back, Mu Qingqing sighed helplessly, the key to perfume is to have a good character, although it is said that there are two brushes on the color screen, but such a character is not good.
Walking into the examination room, Mu Qingqing raised his eyes and looked around, most of the people who came here were women, some of them were wearing good silk, some were dressed in tatters, and there was a teenager in the corner.
The clothes on the boy's body were not very good, there were several patches sewn, the whole person was weak and small, his face was yellow and thin, and he was really inconspicuous in the corner.
But the color screen stood beside him, covering the boy at once.
Mu Qingqing's position was not far from the young man, and she quietly observed the young man for a while. Weng Feiran walked in, Weng Feiran was followed by a group of maids, the maids were holding a tray in their hands, and all kinds of spices were placed in the tray, Weng Feiran clapped his hands, and those maids put these spices on each candidate's table in turn.
After all this was arranged, Weng Feiran coughed lightly, "The content of this exam is to recognize incense, write the names of various spices on rice paper in turn, and which two incense can't be mixed together, also write on the paper." ”
To become a qualified perfumer, these are the basics.
After listening to Weng Feiran's instructions, everyone picked up a brush and wrote on rice paper.
