In Mrs. Myew's building.

As soon as Ji Yao walked in, she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose.

"The incense in this lady's house is very strong. Ji Yao said casually.

"This spice was just brought yesterday, and it is naturally more fragrant than that old fragrance. The maidservant on one side said.

"Oh, is it the incense sent by Changji Temple?" Ji Yao asked the maidservant.

"Yes, Changji Temple has always sent some offerings to the house to ensure safety. ”

"Hehe, I always thought that there would only be sandalwood in this temple, but I didn't expect there to be such spices. Ji Yao leaned over to the fragrant incense burner and looked at it.

"This spice was purchased by the Ping housekeeper, and when Mrs. Miaofu smelled it and liked it, she asked people to send it to Changji Temple for offering, and it will be sent every once in a while. The maidservant replied.

"That's right. Ji Yao nodded, walked to the table to check Mrs. Miaofu's food.

Butler Ping, it's really comprehensive.

"No problem, send it to Lady Miaofu. Ji Yao asked the maids to bring the food, "Oh, by the way, I like this spice when I smell it, can I ask Madame for some." ”

The maid saw that Ji Yao also wanted this spice, so she went upstairs to ask Mrs. Miaofu what she meant, and of course Mrs. Miaofu agreed, saying that she would send it to Ji Yao's residence later.

Ji Yao thanked Mrs. Miaofu and returned to Miss Nian's residence.

That year, the young lady sat at the table, waiting for Ji Yao.

"Let Miss wait like this, it's really ...... below" Ji Yao arched her watch apologetically.

"Don't worry about Ji Gongzi, this meal has just been served, and it is Yi Lan's honor that Ji Gongzi can accompany Yi Lan to eat this meal. ”

"Hehe, what about the third lady and the fourth lady?" Ji Yao looked around and didn't see the two ladies.

"The third and fourth aunts went back. Yilan got up and personally poured wine for Ji Yao.

"I don't know how much Ji Gongzi drinks, this wine is a newly brewed fruit wine, it is not strong, but it is very sweet, Ji Gongzi tastes it, but he still likes it. ”

Ji Yao picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Yes, fruity, not strong but sweet, I don't drink much in the next place, but this wine is just right for me. Ji Yao took another sip, but it was very delicious, the usual wine was too spicy for her, this fruit wine was sweet and refreshing, and it was comfortable to drink.

"This wine is made by my young lady. The maid beside Miss Nian was busy.

"Really?" Ji Yao looked at Miss Nian with wide eyes.

Miss Nian blushed: "I just tried the fruit according to the method of winemaking, but I didn't expect it to taste good, so I took it out for Ji Gongzi to taste, and I was ugly." ”

"No, no, Miss Nian is modest, I like this fruit wine very much, I don't know if Miss Nian has anything else, can I ask for a little below." ”

"Of course you can, it's rare that Ji Gongzi likes it, next time I'll prepare more for Ji Gongzi. Miss Nian was very happy to see that Ji Yao liked this wine.

"It's not just me, Miss Nian can send some to Master Nian and a few ladies, I think they will like it too. Ji Yao smelled the aroma of wine in the wine glass and said.

Good wine, good wine, hehe, Miss Nian......

"In addition to myself, this wine is the second to be tasted by Ji Gongzi, since Gongzi said so, I will take some to my aunt and send them, but this Aunt Miaofu, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to be pregnant, right?"

"No, no, you can send some to Mrs. Miaofu, and I will tell her that this wine can not be drunk, but smelling it is still good for the body. ”

Hearing this, Miss Nian was a little confused.

"Smell it, it's good for your body, Ji Gongzi, this ......"

"Hehe, this wine is sterilized and disinfected. Seeing that Miss Nian was even more confused, she hurriedly said: "Miss Nian don't worry, your wine is excellent, and it is most suitable for Mrs. Miaofu's current situation. Ji Yao changed her mind and threw the question to the helpless Lao Tzu who was far away in the sky.

"That's right, I've heard that those talented people always think differently from ordinary people. Miss Nian nodded.

A meal, eating very slowly, Ji Yao doesn't care, it's more similar to this year's young lady, and it is also a good way to understand the situation of the Nianfu.

No, at the time of a meal, she knew something about Butler Ping.

This Ping housekeeper has been in the Nian family for more than ten years, according to Miss Nian, the Ping housekeeper came to the Nian family after she was born, and he was a person who was rescued on the road when the old man Nian went out.

When Steward Ping first came to the Nian Mansion, he was just an ordinary rough servant in the outer courtyard, and he was in charge of the flowers and trees of the Nian Mansion on weekdays.

Later, when the old man saw that he was serious and responsible in his work, he was promoted little by little, until now, he has become the chief housekeeper of the Nian Mansion.

The big housekeeper Ping is rigorous, and he thinks about all the things in this year's house, and he has won the heart of the old man, so basically everything in the year's house is also responsible for this Ping housekeeper.

Miss Nian also mentioned one thing, which was after the second lady Gu had a slippery tire.

At that time, the old lady of the old family was still there, and after the second lady slipped the tire, the old lady was so angry that she became seriously ill. At that time, in order to treat the old lady, the Ping housekeeper, who was not of high status, trekked through mountains and rivers, and went to great lengths to find famous doctors and medicines to extend the life of the old lady.

The hard work paid off, Steward Ping really found a life-saving medicine, and the old lady gradually got better after taking the medicine, and was promoted by the old man at that time. It's a pity that the old lady still didn't wait for the birth of his grandson and died.

Butler Ping, hehe, the winner of life's counterattack.

Ji Yao returned to the guest room, and after a while, the maidservant beside Mrs. Miaofu brought the spice.

"Thank you, Lady Miaofu. Ji Yao said to the maidservant.

After the maidservant left, Ji Yao took the spices and went to the next room.

"Come, help me see the spice. Ji Yao swaggered in, ignoring Mu Fan's frowning.

Mu Fan walked to the table and looked down at the spices on the table. turned around, took a bamboo skewer and picked it up a little and looked at it.

"This spice is from Madame Namuff's room. Mu Fan said, seeing the tone.

"Yes, I smelled faint that day, but I didn't notice anything, but today I went to Mrs. Miaofu's house, and the fragrance was strong, and I said that I had brought it newly. Ji Yao sat on the side, poured a cup of tea, and drank it to herself.

"Where did this incense come from?" Mu Fan asked.

"It is said that the spices purchased by the Ping housekeeper were sent to the Changji Temple for worship and then sent to the house. ”

"Are you free tomorrow?" Mu Fan suddenly asked after listening.

"Eh, you're free, what's wrong?" Ji Yao looked at Mu Fan puzzled.

"Tomorrow, let's go to the Changji Temple. ”

After listening, Ji Yao knew that Mu Fan must have discovered something.

She didn't know much about this spice, but as a doctor, she still felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out, so she could only ask Mu Fan for help. Since he said where to go to Changji Temple tomorrow, the problem must be in that Changji Temple.

"Okay, I'll go to Changji Temple tomorrow. Ji Yao nodded in response.

"You don't have to tell the people of the Nian family first. Mu Fan said.

Oh, a surprise, lest someone be in the dark.

Ji Yao smiled and drank the tea in the cup.
