Chapter 115 The group sits and hears the new fragrance
There are curls of green smoke rising from the white porcelain lotus incense burner, and the clear fragrance spreads in the study room.
Jiang Ming sat in front of the incense burner, with a solemn expression on his face, as if he was about to pick up the incense burner and throw it out at the next moment.
Li Minglou poured out all the incense blocks in the box, but found no letter paper. After confirming that this was really just a box for incense and not an envelope, she picked up the incense blocks again and looked at them.
Incense is a daily thing, used when sitting, lying down, and walking. To her, it is like tea. She has no special hobby and uses whatever she has.
"Can incense be made so quickly?" she asked curiously, "It doesn't mean that it takes many years to collect the materials, or even more than ten years."
Jiang Ming said that Wu Ya'er did it, and he saw it with his own eyes, which happened not long ago.
Yuanji, who was summoned by Jiang Ming, laughed when he heard this and said tactfully: "The eldest lady uses different ones."
People are different, so incense and incense are naturally different. The incense used by Li Minglou is selected from famous materials and produced by famous hands, which is of course extremely rare.
Li Minglou smiled and stopped asking.
"Uncle Ming, please stop looking." She looked at Jiang Ming who was staring nervously at the incense burner, "There will be no problem."
There were footsteps and the sound of kumquats chirping outside.
"Madam lives with me," Li Ming said, smiling at the door. The curtain opened and the blind woman walked in, supported by Jin Ju.
As soon as she entered the room, she sniffed lightly and said, "The scent has been changed."
Yes, when the madam and the young madam are together, they will smell the incense. Wu Yaer will never harm his mother, so this is just a gift. Jiang Ming touched his chin and his expression was still solemn. So what does this gift mean?
"You are really confused." Yuanji shook his head, "Of course this is a thank you."
Do you want to say thank you? Jiang Ming looked at him.
"If it weren't for your help, they wouldn't have been able to cross the river so smoothly to rescue Lingzhou." Yuan Ji said, "The ten of you saved them from hundreds, even thousands, of casualties. This is our sincere help, and of course we must treat
Madam, thank you."
Jiang Ming suddenly realized, laughed, and his expression finally relaxed: "Yes, I have thought too much about such a simple matter." He shook his head again, "No wonder I have thought too much. This person should be called the Governor now. It's really weird.
He is powerful, able to raise troops and make good use of them, and his mind is sharp and adaptable."
In the Zhenwu Army, he couldn't help but think that if this person was his opponent, he really couldn't guarantee the chance of victory, so he unconsciously became vigilant.
The two of them were talking, and the women over there were also talking.
"Do you like this fragrance, madam?" Jin Jue asked.
The woman sat in front of the incense burner and shook her head slightly, letting the aroma spread in front of her: "This incense is very simple."
She didn't say whether she liked it or not, but it was very simple. Li Minglou asked curiously: "Can Madam do it?"
A slight smile appeared on the woman's face: "Yes, when the weather is bad, you should smoke it. Children are delicate and will sleep peacefully with the fragrance. There are too many salted fish drying next door, so don't argue with them."
Her voice was calm, but her words were confusing. They should be fragments of life scenes in her memories. Li Minglou nodded along with her words. Although he was confused, he still answered the question. She can make incense.
Li Minglou smiled, pointed to Jiang Ming and Yuan Ji at the incense on the table, and then pointed at the woman: "The craftsmanship is passed down from mother to son."
Jiang Ming and Yuan Ji also laughed.
"Making incense is not easy." Yuan Ji said, "He is determined."
There is no shortage of gold and silver in Li Minglou, and there are no rare treasures. Being valuable is his heart, and making things with his own hands is also his heart. Wu Ya'er couldn't give away anything valuable, so he gave it away with his heart.
Li Minglou tilted his head and thought: "So this person is really good, he is thoughtful and clear in his work. What should I give him as a gift?"
There are too many ways for her to express her feelings, and doing things herself is the least necessary one, so she won't do anything by herself.
Yuanji smiled: "Miss's concern is the greatest consideration."
Li Minglou smiled and stood up and called Jin Jue: "Where are all our things?"
Li Minglou has never taken the initiative to ask for anything. He doesn’t choose food or clothing. He chooses kumquats. He doesn’t reject gold and silver, and he doesn’t reject tatters and simplicity. The young lady has an excellent temperament, but this
It is also sad that girls of average age live a life of pure and stoic life.
Hearing Li Minglou's words, Jin Jue was surprised and happy: "What does the lady want?"
Li Minglou said: "I don't know."
In the past, she always gave others what they wanted. This was the first time she took the initiative to give others what she wanted.
"Then let's go choose." Jin Jue clapped his hands happily and helped the blind woman up, "Madam, let's go together."
The woman never objected to what Jin Jue and Li Minglou asked her to do, and she said yes.
"There are a lot of things in the warehouse." Jin Jue twirled his fingers, "Gold, silver, cloth, ornaments and supplements, some brought from home, some bought later." He called Yuan Ji again, "Master Yuan, there is still a warehouse over there in Dou County.
What about?"
Yuanji nodded: "I'll prepare a car to take you there."
Jin Jue happily led Li Minglou and the woman outside.
"....Miss, let's look at the jewelry first?"
"....Men don't need jewelry, right?"
"...You can just take a look at it. Anyway, I've seen it all. I don't need it, but the young lady can use it, and the madam can also use it."
"Winter clothes are just picked out and made."
"Young Madam, the bed has been used for several months, so it's time to change it."
The three women walked out, and the sound of kumquats chirping could not be stopped.
Yuanji stood in the corridor and watched: "It seems that the eldest lady will be carefully selected for a few days."
Jiang Ming is very experienced: "If women start choosing things, it will be endless."
"Young lady has never been like this." A smile appeared on Yuan Ji's dull face, and his eyes were a little sad. It was true before, but after getting married and returning to the Li family, the young lady became even more wantless and lived like a dead tree.
, "You have to forget that she is still a little girl."
Yuanji glanced at the room. The incense on the table was placed back into the small box. The small box was placed neatly on the map that he often looked at at his desk.
Therefore, it is good for the young lady to have a playmate, and this playmate is also really good.
Jiang Ming looked at the smile on Yuan Ji's wooden face, and then listened to the women's chatter and laughter from the usually quiet back house. His expression became solemn again, and he reached out and pinched his chin: "A box of earthy incense... that's it?
"
How did this Wu Yaer know that the lady likes incense? He even made the incense himself and sent it to her.
"So, he is really powerful." Jiang Ming nodded and concluded, "We have to guard against him."
...
...
The night lamp was lit, and a hand stretched out from the large robe. The small round nails that used to be plain white were bright red. There was also a jade bracelet on the wrist, which exuded soft light, making this hand soft and charming.
He picked up the small wooden box and put it aside, unfolding the map. The hand he took back was covered by his sleeve.
Yuanji's eyes also returned to the table and fell on the map. He stretched out his hand and clicked: "At present, there are not many places to respond to the new emperor Lingwu, such as here and here, but they have not submitted to Ankang Mountain either.
.”
Li Minglou didn't think it was strange: "Everyone has his own thoughts. Without the late emperor, people's hearts are still scattered."
Although today's troubles originated from the late Emperor, the fall of the late Emperor's big tree with rotten roots still caused the world to shake and spread panic.
"Master Han has been picked up by the eldest son." Yuan Ji said, "The eldest son asked whether we should go back to Jiannan Road together or stay in Shannan?"
Li Minglou said: "Of course I will stay in Shannan. Master Han must be very willing to help Shannan stabilize the military situation."
Yuanji understood the response and thought of something: "Miss, as you said before, Qishan has borrowed troops from our Jiannan Road."
