One

Fengxiangfang is the place where the Shen family specially prepared spices for the royal court.

Nagumo was only dazzled.

Shen Wanjin pointed to a huge cage drawer and said, "This is the first process of making incense. Steam. ”

Nanyun looked curiously at the big cage drawer in front of him: "Steaming? ”

Shen Wanjin said with a smile: "Put the plant raw materials into the cage drawer to steam, heat, and put in the accessories, this method can not only make the incense materials from raw to cooked, but also regulate the medicinal properties and separate the impurities in the incense materials." ”

Nanyun pointed to a steaming cauldron next to him and asked, "What's in there?" ”

Shen Wanjin said: "That pot is used to cook incense materials." ”

Nanyun was surprised: "Isn't that boiled?" ”

Shen Wanjin smiled: "That's a taste of nail incense." It is first boiled in charcoal juice, then in muddy water, and finally in wine. When the water is exhausted, the yellow gas comes out, put it away, and use artillery again to enter the incense. ”

Nanyun was stunned: "So troublesome? ”

Shen Wanjin said: "Incense making is a meticulous job, and there is no room for sloppiness. The reason why my Shen family can stand tall is because of their excellent skills. You'll have to keep it in mind later. ”

Nanyun said modestly: "It's all up to my father-in-law's training." ”

Shen Wanjin said: "This batch of spices is specially prepared for Li Zhaoyi Niangniang of Deqing Palace, you must be careful and never leave." ”

Nagumo nodded.

Du Zhikang came in from outside, and through the hazy heat, he shouted, "Master! ”

Shen Wanjin said: "What's the matter? ”

Du Zhikang looked a little anxious: "Master, the people of the Cai family are looking for something wrong again!" ”

Shen Wanjin frowned: "This scoundrel! I'll take a look. ”

Turning his face to Nanyun and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, you are staring here, and I will come when I go." ”

Nanyun said: "Father-in-law, please rest assured. ”

Shen Wanjin and Du Zhikang hurriedly went out.

Nanyun looked at the steaming heat, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

For the first time in my life, an ancient and mysterious industry is so close.

With great interest, he walked around the spacious square.

Busy workers, repairing, stir-frying, baking, water flying, sweating profusely, working with their heads down, no one cares about his existence.

Around noon, Nagumo was a little tired.

I don't know what happened, but Shen Wanjin still didn't come.

There was a rumbling in the stomach, and the morning meal had already been digested.

But he did not dare to leave. The father-in-law's confession is still in my ears.

Leaning back on an old wicker chair in the workshop, a thin figure stood in front of him and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

Nagumo felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

The man was dressed in an emerald green gown with a wide belt encrusted with precious stones around his waist, and it was evident that he was a dignitary. The weather was already very cold, but he was elegantly holding a folding fan, posing, and shaking it around.

"Don't remember me? Brother-in-law? The man's sharp chin was slightly raised, and there was a bit of flattering smile in his eyes.

Nanyun remembered: "Uncle Zhao." ”

Uncle Zhao Guo laughed: "I finally know my relatives." ”

Nanyun said lightly: "Why do you have time to come here?" ”

Uncle Zhao Guo looked around and said with a smile: "I heard that my father-in-law is here, come and take a look." Why, his old man is not there? ”

Nanyun said perfunctorily: "Something went out." Leave me here on duty. ”

Uncle Zhao Guo sighed: "Brother-in-law is really a believer. It's noon, haven't you eaten yet? Come, let's go out for a drink. He pulled Nagumo's sleeve and walked out.

Nanyun hurriedly said: "No! My father-in-law ordered me to watch here. I'm gone, and I can't explain. ”

Uncle Zhao Guo shouted loudly: "Zhao Er, you are here to watch for your brother-in-law!" ”

A fat man in black immediately ran in outside the door.

Uncle Zhao Guo secretly glanced at him and ordered: "Zhao Er, you are not allowed to leave an inch." ”

Zhao Erha nodded with his waist: "Yes, yes." ”

Uncle Zhao Guo said: "Now you are relieved? We've never eaten together. Come, Drunken Immortal Building, I'm in for a treat! He dragged Nanyun out of Fengxiangfang.

Nanyun couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to go with him.

It's just a meal, and it's not a big deal.

After eating, just hurry back. Besides, it's time for lunch.

Nagumo thought.

Two

Shen Qingluo stood in front of the window, looking at a red maple tree outside, it had been half an hour.

Yuan'er stood aside, a little nervous and nervous.

"Miss," she said timidly, "are you tired?" Would you like to take a break? ”

Shen Qingluo turned a deaf ear, still turned her back to her, and didn't say a word.

The autumn wind blew, and a few leaves fluttered down, and a few even drifted into the open window and landed on the table.

Shen Qingluo gently pinched a leaf and played with it.

"Are you feeling better?" Shen Qingluo suddenly asked.

Yuan'er hurriedly said, "Miss Xie cares." It's already good. ”

Shen Qingluo slowly turned around, stared at her, and said expressionlessly, "Last night, did you sleep well?" ”

Yuan'er panicked: "Okay." Good. ”

Shen Qingluo looked down at the red leaves in her hand, and said lightly: "No matter how red the color is, it is just a leaf, and when autumn comes, it will not be able to stay after all." ”

Yuan'er let out an "oh", but she didn't understand what Shen Qingluo's brainless words meant.

Shen Qingluo's heart turned a thousand times, and suddenly said: "Yuan'er, from now on, you move to the east wing." ”

Yuan'er was shocked: "Miss? You don't want me anymore? ”

Shen Qingluo smiled slightly: "How come?" You have served me for many years, how could I not want you? The east wing is more spacious, and you can live comfortably. ”

Yuan'er was hesitant in her heart, lowered her head, and didn't dare to say anything.

Shen Qingluo pondered for a long time, and asked slowly, "How long has it been?" ”

Yuan'er raised her head sharply and said in a panic: "What? ”

As soon as Shen Qingluo's hand was loosened, the leaves fluttered down at her feet.

"How long are you going to hide it from me?" Shen Qingluo turned around, preferring to look out the window than to look at her more.

Yuan'er knelt on her knees unconsciously: "Miss." ”

Shen Qingluo's body trembled slightly, although Yuan'er couldn't see her face, she could imagine that the young lady must be extremely sad.

Shen Qingluo said in a low voice: "The night he came back, he woke up in the middle of the night, but he was not in my bed. ”

Yuan'er was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer for a while.

That night, after Shen Qingluo sang "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", the husband and wife were affectionate and hugged each other and fell asleep. Shen Qingluo woke up in the middle of the night, only to find that Nanyun was no longer around.

At first, she thought it would be convenient for him to go, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see him come back.

I searched all over the house, but there was no sign of him.

Shen Qingluo found that the door of the house was open, and obviously, he went out.

She wondered. Three watches in the middle of the night, where did he go?

I got up in my clothes, and outside the corridor, I unexpectedly heard a suppressed voice of male and female love from Yuan'er's room next door. In the silence of the night, the sound is especially harsh.

Shen Qingluo was struck by lightning.

She really couldn't imagine that her husband, who was still tender and sweet just now, could fall into the arms of another woman in the blink of an eye.

Although, on the first day she married him, she was so mentally prepared, but when this day really came, she was still deeply shocked.

She leaned back against the wall, and for a moment, tears flowed down her face.

In a flash, she learned about the war between her mother and Aunt Lian for many years in order to compete for her father's favor. It turns out that loving someone is not allowed to be shared.

In the dark night, she leaned against the head of the bed, thinking and thinking.

After some time, she heard the sound of soft footsteps, followed by the sound of the door being pushed.

She quickly lay down, covered herself with the covers, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

He tiptoed to bed and lay down beside her, and soon let out an even snoring sound.

He was tired.

Shen Qingluo opened her eyes and looked at the angular handsome face next to the pillow by the faint moonlight.

How can such an excellent man belong to a woman? Especially an ugly woman.

She leaned over slowly, resting on his thick arms.

Instinctively, he hugged her and muttered, "Sleep." ”

Tears rolled down her eyes.

If you love someone, you should also be tolerant.

What he likes, she should like.

Love, which is humble, is also great.

At that moment, she had already made up her mind.

Therefore, when she faced Yuan'er, she was already a calm woman.

"Yuan'er, as long as you want, I will let him take you as a concubine." Shen Qingluo said calmly.

Yuan'er was a little overjoyed, but she still didn't dare to express her thoughts. "Miss, you don't blame me?" She said with some hesitation.

Shen Qingluo looked at Yuan'er's delicate face, and her mood was very complicated.

"Even if we don't have you today, there will be others in the future. I wish it was you rather than someone else. She smiled slightly, looked at Yuan'er kneeling in the dust, and stretched out her hand: "Get up." ”

Yuan'er didn't dare to get up. She seemed a little incredulous.

Shen Qingluo sighed and said, "It's okay, you have a good home, and I have also calculated a matter of concern." Don't make a noise about this matter for now, so as not to ruin the reputation of the master. Everything is arranged by me. You go down first. ”

Yuan'er couldn't help but feel overjoyed and kowtowed: "Miss Xie." In this life, slaves and maids are all young lady's people, and they will never dare to have the slightest arrogance. ”

Shen Qingluo said lightly: "I only hope that you will be in the future, don't forget today's words." ”

Three

At night, as soon as Nanyun entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Xiaorong, serve tea quickly, I'm dying of thirst!" ”

Shen Qingluo said with a smile: "Dad invited you to eat what delicacies from the mountains and seas, so thirsty." ”

Nanyun drank a big gulp of water and said with a smile: "Just those few cauldrons in the workshop have steamed people to death, can you still not be thirsty?" ”

Shen Qingluo smiled: "It turns out that you went to Fengxiangfang today." Daddy values you. ”

Nanyun was a little proud: "It's not that you are pregnant, my father-in-law is happy, and he takes it with him, and he also likes me." ”

Shen Qingluo glanced at Xiao Rong and stopped talking.

Xiao Rong will also observe the words and looks, and bow down to retire.

Shen Qingluo saw that there was no one else in the house, hesitated for a moment, and said while dressing Nanyun widely: "The concubine is pregnant, and it is quite inconvenient in the boudoir, and the concubine intends to take a concubine room for her husband, do you think it is good?" ”

The smile on Nanyun's face quickly retracted, and he looked at Shen Qingluo's face with some surprise, as if he was discerning her true intentions.

Shen Qingluo put his clothes on the head of the bed and smiled, "Why do you look at the concubine like this?" ”

Nagumo smiled, "I'm just weird. Let's husband and wife, how do you mention this? ”

Shen Qingluo put her hand on her abdomen and said with a little shyness: "The concubine is pregnant, she can't serve her husband, she has lost her wife's way, the concubine intends to be a good wife and share her husband's worries, doesn't the husband want to sit back and enjoy the blessings of all people?" ”

Nanyun laughed: "There may be a scene to play." It's just that taking a concubine is not what she wants, and Mrs. should never mention it again. ”

Shen Qingluo's heart was confused: "But why?" She obviously liked this answer very much, but for some reason, she always had to go to the root cause.

Nanyun hugged her lovingly: "I can't bear to let you down." ”

This gentle word made Shen Qingluo lose herself immediately.

A man may be romantic, but he always cares about his feelings. That's enough.

Shen Qingluo wrapped her arms around his waist and was immersed in happy satisfaction.

She didn't notice that at this time, Nanyun's brows were already tightly furrowed.
