345, Western Fragrance
Wen Xixiu will go to Wenjia Xiangshang at a fixed time every day. Today we arrived earlier. We went up to the second floor and saw Wen Zhi? We were introducing the latest style of "Goddess of the Sea" Xianglu to several female guests.
A young girl smiled mischievously: "After talking, is it better to have a cold fragrance or a warm fragrance?"
Wen Zhi? Smile: "The cold fragrance is clear and far away, and the warm fragrance is pleasant."
A girl carefully smelt two pieces of incense test paper: "I think it's better to have a cold fragrance, it smells like a fairy girl who is out of reach."
Another girl hesitated a little: "Is it too cold to use this in autumn?"
"This is called alienation Gao Yuan!" The girl smiled faintly, "I want a big bottle."
Wen Zhi? Instructed the guy to pack it carefully for the girl and give her a small bottle of warm fragrance trial package.
Another girl looked at Wen Zhi?: "I just want to ask Mr. Wen, which one is more suitable for me?"
"I dare not take it if I ask for advice. If I want to recommend it," Wen Zhi looked at the girl in front of me and thought about it carefully: "It is better to pity the person in front of me to be cold-resistant."
The girl thought about this sentence carefully and laughed: "Then I will buy a bottle of warm fragrance!" Looking back at Wen Xixiu standing beside her, she hurriedly pulled another girl beside her, "Aren't you just waiting to listen to him telling you?"
The girl's face turned red. She wanted to ask Wen Xixiu but it was difficult to speak.
Wen Zhi? Just laugh without saying a word.
Seeing this, Wen Xixiu walked over and answered seriously: "Whether cold or warm fragrance, their main flowers are blue roses, and other auxiliary flowers are basically similar, except that the cold fragrance has more mint and dogwood flowers, while the warm fragrance has more Buddha hand wood. It is precisely because of the difference between these two ingredients that the two fragrances of the same flower fragrance have a staggered height. The cold fragrance has a high smell, especially the initial cold feeling, and even a little cold. The warm fragrance is caused by the participation of woody fragrance, which makes the fragrance become low and gentle, making people more likely to get close to it." Wen Xixiu looked at the three girls who were listening attentively, with a cool and warm look: "Whether cold or cold, the final smell is sandalwood."
After saying this, the girl immediately asked for two big bottles of cold and warm: "Although you know the cold and warm, the fragrance can be used on your body, so that others can feel the cold and warmth of your home."
"When the fire is gathered in winter, it will be better to smell with these warm fragrances!" Another girl smiled.
After the three girls left with a smile, Wen Zhi praised: "I have been talking for more than half an hour, but it is not as good as your words."
Wen Xixiu looked at the crowd of Xianglu on the counter: "I didn't expect them to listen."
"That scorer." Wen Zhi? Smiled secretly.
The guy went downstairs to see off the guests, and there were only two people in the upper hall.
"You haven't been to draw the painting these two days?" Wen Xixiu took out several fragrant dews that were usually sold less often, intending to go back and study the reasons for their unpopularity.
"Well... I'm busy in the shop these days." Wen Zhi said perfunctorily.
"It's rare to pick up the brush again, it's not good to give up halfway." Wen Xixiu said.
Wen Zhi? He tilted his head, knowing that Xixiu didn't know the whole story, so he looked around and said, "I have something I have always wanted to tell you."
"What's the matter?"
"Are you really going to the spice conference alone?" Wen Zhi asked seriously.
"It is said that someone discovered the fragrance of Yinxiang." Speaking of this spice, Wen Xixiu's expression became serious. "My grandfather had been looking for this fragrance back then, but he never found it when he visited the Western Regions. This fragrance was mentioned many times in the incense recipes he passed down from ancestral areas."
Wen Zhi’s expression gradually became solemn: “I haven’t heard you mention these before.”
"Because the fragrance of the scent alone is lacking, those fragrances cannot be prepared successfully." When talking about this spice, Wen Xixiu's eyes shone brightly like cold stars.
"I think that's just a legendary spice."
"The fragrance of Zishu Yuelin is also said to be a legend. Haven't you found it one by one over the years? Why can't the fragrance of Yinxiang be?" Wen Xixiu asked back.
Wen Zhi? I have never seen such an aggressive Wen Xixiu. I know that he must go this time: "If you go to the Western Regions alone, your uncle and aunt will probably worry, so why don't I go with you."
Wen Xixiu said: "I have been to the Western Regions, there is nothing to worry about. Besides, the shop cannot do without you."
Although it was only a few words lightly, Wen Zhi? He knew that he could not resist him, so he could only shake his head and sigh: "You are so fragrant! You just take the words of the two monks seriously."
"At the spice conference every ten years, there will always be strange fragrances." Wen Xixiu remembered the scene when he followed his father to the spice conference ten years ago, which was like opening another door to the world.
"After all, the spice conference will be held in April next year, why are you in such a hurry?"
"If I could find Yinxixiang in advance, it would be better."
"You are simply obsessed with the fragrance of Yinxiu!" Wen Zhi shook his head, "There are no clear historical records about this spice. Only in the "Shiyi Ji" mentioned: "The people of Lingdi Palace use Yinxiu to cook soup and bathe hair. We don't know whether this fragrance comes from flowers, plants or divine beasts."
"It is because it is unknown that it makes people yearn for it."
"But, "Shi Yi Ji" is a book like a monster, and it talks about strange powers and gods, which are not worthy of trust." Wen Zhi? believes that these ethereal things are made up to coax people.
"If I hadn't mentioned Yinxiang in the ancient prescriptions of my ancestors, I wouldn't have been so persistent."
Wen Zhi? I want to say something, but because of the single-passing rules of the prescriptions of the prescriptions of the ancestors of the Wen family, I am not qualified to see these prescriptions, so I cannot discuss them too deeply.
Wen Xixiu's fingertips touched the cold glass bottles: "You will know when the fragrance is made."
Wen Zhi frowned: "Did uncle and aunt agree?"
"They want me to go later, hoping to spend the New Year at home." Wen Xixiu's tone seemed to be in a hurry.
"Xiaowan and the others will be back in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Can you still spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with us?"
“…I haven’t thought about it yet.”
...
"The letter is here, the letter is here!" Ruicai greeted the group members happily, "The things that the family brought to us have also arrived!"
Xiaoxiao was the first to run out of the house: "Have my oven arrived?! I specially sent a message to Ruiniang and asked her to bring me an oven!"
Xizi also ran out: "There is also my bed tent! I specially asked them to bring a big gauze tent embroidered by grass insects!"
Even Ni Jie came out: "And my box of books."
Youqing: "I also let me bring a lot of things!"
"Everyone is there!" Ruicai said with a smile, "and the glass-embedded window lattice I asked my family to bring here!"
After hearing this, Youqing was touched by her thoughts again, her expression became dark, and then she smiled and said, "Now we have a glass window! That's great!"
Ruicai smiled and said, "These things are secondary. The key is that the family has sent us letters!" As he said that, he distributed the letters in his hands to each of them: "This letter is from Youqing! These two letters are for students! There is also one from Yingyuan~ the rest are from Xizi! Good guy, Xizi has five or six letters! And there are two very thick ones!"
Everyone couldn't help but read Xizi's letters. In addition to two or three normally thick envelopes, there were actually two extremely fat and thick envelopes, which were almost cracked.
Xiaoxiao then thought of the thick and fat roujiamo I had eaten in his previous life... "Your brothers can really write..."
Xizi looked at the cover, first put away the fat letter from Wen Zhi?, and then went to see another fat letter: "This... is my fourth brother's?! He actually wrote so thickly?! He has never said so much to me in his life!!"
Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Youqing also listened on the side, not in a hurry to open the letter from her parents to him.
Ni Jie looked at the two letters in her hand, one written by her mother and the other written by Tang Shuyan, and smiled slightly: "We are not in a hurry to read the letter, so let's take the things on the carriage first!"
Those things were actually filled with two carriages. In addition to the pane, oven, bed and tent, there were also many food, clothing, and fun. Ruicai's father actually asked someone to bring a dressing table!
Aunt Gui looked at the yard with amazement: "What are these for? There is also a large mirror on this table! It's not a bronze mirror, is it... the diorama that people in the town call it?"
Aunt Gui walked to the mirror carefully, but was still shocked by her own too real image: "Mom, I'm scared to death! There is a person here!!"
"Yes, this is you, Aunt Gui!" Ruicai said, and also leaned over to look in the mirror.
Aunt Gui saw the real Ruicai in the mirror and felt relieved. Curiously, she touched the cold mirror: "I look like this, not much like the one in the bronze mirror... Looking at the fine lines on my face, such a clear mirror will only make people ugly!"
Xiaoxiao came over to comfort Aunt Gui: "I will apply makeup tomorrow to my aunt and dress up well! This mirror is not bullying. It looks good, and it looks good no matter how you look at it!"
"Don't dress me up as an old fairy!" Aunt Gui said.
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
After dinner, everyone opened the letter and read the letter. Ni Jie Ruicai lit a glass lamp in the main hall. Xizi and Youqing leaned on the kang and watched Xiaoxiao had already finished reading the letter. The letter was written by his father and brought all the greetings from the whole family. In addition to encouraging his daughter, he also asked him to bring some braised pork back...
Xizi held a thick stack of letter paper, frowned and smiled, and then blushed and smiled in a daze.
Xiaoxiao was not curious, so she also got on the kang and leaned over and said, "Who wrote the letter so interesting?"
Xizi panicked and covered the letter: "It's just that my brothers wrote some interesting things about the family..."
"Oh?" Xiaoxiao didn't believe it, but she didn't ask again.
Seeing someone around, Xizi put away the letter first and opened another thick letter: "Or what my fourth brother has written?"
Hearing this, Youqing also stopped his hand and was eagerly hoping that Xizi would recite his letter.
Chapter completed!
