After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

"Almost hot?" Qin'er repeated.

Shen Ruoyan did not answer immediately, but analyzed eloquently: "It is spring now, and most of the spices in the Western Regions have strong smells, so I guess that Su Xihe and the others will choose the fragrance of flowers and use various spices to show the blooming of spring flowers. The grand scene.”

Qin'er nodded in agreement, which was indeed in line with the flamboyant personality of the young lady from the Su family.

Shen Ruoyan continued: "But she forgot that such delicate flowers cannot bloom without the nourishment of roots, stems and leaves, so for this fragrance tasting, I plan to use a deep woody fragrance.

In contrast to the beauty of a hundred flowers blooming, the fragrance of the trees is long-lasting and meaningful, which can better interpret the melodious charm of endless life.

As the saying goes, fresh fragrance and no dirt.

When we burn incense, we appreciate more than just the fragrance. The purpose is to mobilize the inner spirituality in a pleasant atmosphere, regulate the breath, clear the nose, and open the mind, both tangible and intangible, so that the body and mind can reach a state of peace and tranquility. .

People from the Western Regions naturally don’t understand these principles. "

After hearing this, Qin'er showed an expression of sudden realization. She remembered what Shen Ruoyan said and asked, "But you said there is still some heat missing. What exactly is missing?"

Mentioning this, Shen Ruoyan pursed her lips, "I always feel that this fragrance lacks an eye-catching surprise.

This flavor should neither be too overt, lest it overwhelm the original woody aroma, nor be too low-key, making it appear featureless. "

Thinking of this headache, Shen Ruoyan exhaled helplessly.

Qin'er became even more anxious after hearing this, "There will be a fragrance tasting party in a few days. Miss, do you have any clues?"

"I think the taste of ginseng is the most suitable. I tried adding some just now. Maybe the bottle of ginseng powder I have is not old enough and the taste is completely masked by other spices, unable to achieve the eye-catching effect." Shen Ruoyan was helpless. road.

"Then miss, think of other ways quickly and see if you can find other suitable materials." Qin'er also frowned and advised.

Neither of them went: Since the ginseng Shen Ruoyan had was not old enough, why not buy some older ginseng?

Because both of them knew that the Shen family seemed to have a big business, but actually it was very tight inside. How could they spend such money on a fragrance competition?

Seeing the little girl thinking hard in front of a group of bottles and jars, Lu Yan began to think uncontrollably. If they dug out a thousand-year-old ginseng in the courtyard, would they become suspicious?

When I returned to my residence, the housekeeper took the initiative to greet me.

Lu Yan thought about how he could deliver ginseng to the little girl without anyone noticing. When he saw the housekeeper, he blurted out: "Did we bring ginseng with us when we came to the capital this time?"

Before the butler could speak, Lu Yan added: "It's best if it's older."

The housekeeper was stunned and secretly looked at Lu Yan.

The Young Pavilion Master didn't look like he was injured, so why did he suddenly ask about ginseng to nourish the body?

It is also specified to be older.

"Back to Young Pavilion Master, I only have two older ginsengs on hand at the moment, one is nearly a hundred years old and the other is 300 years old." The steward replied.

Lu Yan held his forehead with one hand, wondering whether this 300-year-old ginseng met the little girl's requirements.

Recalling that stubborn and energetic face, the corners of Lu Yan's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

The housekeeper looked like he had seen a ghost. You must know that their young master had always been overjoyed, but now he was staring at the air and grinning inexplicably. He didn't know which family in the capital was going to be unlucky again.

Realizing that the butler was staring directly at him, Lu Yan coughed unnaturally and said, "Send someone to fetch the thousand-year-old ginseng from the pavilion."

It's not that Lu Yan is extravagant and wasteful, it's just that this is the capital. Ginseng that is hundreds of years old may be a treasure outside, but in the eyes of those high-ranking families, it is just an ordinary thing.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan added: "Remember to ask for the oldest one."

The butler took the order and left. Looking at his confused back, Lu Yan shook his head mockingly.

He must have heard that the little girl was fighting for the honor of Daning this time. As a fellow Daning person, he naturally wanted to help if he could. It was definitely not because he was reluctant to see her disappointed expression.

Not long after, his subordinates brought over the Thousand-Year Ginseng.

The butler held a wooden box in both hands and handed it to Lu Yan solemnly, "Young Pavilion Master, this ginseng is the oldest ginseng in our pavilion."

Lu Yan took out the ginseng from the box, put it to his nose, smelled it, and asked, "Why does this ginseng taste so weak?"

The steward responded: "The young master of the pavilion does not know that in order to ensure that this thousand-year-old ginseng does not deteriorate, it is usually stored in special plant ash.

Over time, the outside of the ginseng became extremely dry, and the smell was all locked inside. It was impossible to smell anything like this. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yan clamped the ginseng between his two fingers, and with a little force, he broke the thousand-year-old ginseng.

The unique scent of ginseng filled the entire room.

Lu Yan nodded with satisfaction.

The butler had a distressed expression on his face. For such a rare treasure, even breaking a root would be considered a sin. Why did the Young Pavilion Master break the ginseng so easily?

This is a thousand-year-old ginseng, not a radish just pulled out of the ground!

Ignoring the butler's eyes as big as copper bells, Lu Yan put the broken piece of old ginseng into his sleeve and walked out happily.

After Shen Ruochuan came home that day, he ran into his sister's yard and said, "Ayan, look what brother found for you?"

As he spoke, he raised the cloth bag in his hand as if offering a treasure.

Seeing that the date of the incense tasting was getting closer, Shen Ruoyan had not prepared a satisfactory incense yet. She was so anxious that she wished she could turn into a puppy. She couldn't help but grab something wherever she passed and put it to the tip of her nose to smell it. the smell.

"What is it?" Seeing her brother's arrogant expression, Shen Ruoyan stepped out of the row of bottles and jars and asked Shen Ruochuan.

Shen Ruochuan deliberately showed off, "Didn't your brother and I train a little bird recently? I took him for a walk today, and the uncle took a fancy to me and insisted on buying my little bird.

At first I refused to agree, but then he gritted his teeth and offered to exchange this with me, and I exchanged it with him without saying a word. "

Shen Ruoyan has also seen Shen Ruochuan's little bird. It has bright fur and a melodious cry. More importantly, it is spiritual. It is not afraid of people at all. If you give it some food, it will stand on your shoulder and call to you. .

Shen Ruochuan usually cherishes this little bird. Mr. Shen criticized him several times for losing his ambition when playing with toys. He secretly kept it in his house despite the pressure from his father. How could he exchange this little bird so easily?
