The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned
Chapter 15 Who is the Poisoned One?
The shop was in a prime location, in the streets and alleys of the southern part of the city. Neighboring it were jewelry shops and embroidery workshops, both of which were popular places for women to visit.
The incense shop is well-equipped, and important tools such as incense chopsticks, incense seals, and feather dusters are free of any dust. The wooden counter of Chenxiangji is used to make and store incense cakes and incense pills.
In the mortal world, if plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo cannot be planted, ink painting can be used instead. The fragrance in the painting is elegant, but it makes people feel as if they are in the green bamboo, ethereal and far away.
It seems that the original shop owner was also a person who loved fragrance.
Meng Xuanhe was satisfied and did not make any further embellishments. In his spare time, he made a few scrolls of ancient bamboo slips, on which he wrote the names of the incense he planned to make, so that customers could buy incense.
"The shop is called Chenxiangji, and the owner is Wei Suanla." Meng Xuanhe tilted his head and thought. Meng is the national surname of the Southern Meng Kingdom, so naturally he cannot use it.
She was really bad at naming, so she just used her previous name. Chen Xiang Ji was the name of her modern incense shop, which was chosen by Meng Sangxi.
Jiarun Jialang was efficient, reliable and prudent. Within three days, he had arranged everything. The deed to the shop was handed over, and the two of them looked at the owner's name and fell into deep thought.
Meng Xuanhe spent the next few days in the mansion. Instead of lying down and enjoying herself, she spent the whole day facing various complicated spices, calming her mind.
The first incense she made was the Four Seasons Pure Fragrance, which was made from fennel, cloves, linden, sandalwood, sweet pine, brain, and a little musk. This incense was used for the four seasons and could be burned in halls, libraries, wine pavilions, and flower pavilions. It was an incense that could remove filth.
It is now February, and people in ancient times believed in these things, so this is a good time to sell this incense.
Meng Xuanhe worked hard day and night. Before opening the shop, he also made several kinds of ancient fragrances such as osmanthus incense, Qingzhen incense, and Spring News.
Jiarun Jialang didn't know that all these incense were made by her, and thought they were the princess's collection, so he didn't ask much. After she finished, the rest of the sales was handed over to Jiarun Jialang.
Meng Xuan and Wan Shi were very cautious. When they opened the shop, they used some makeup to cover up their original appearance. They also randomly added some pockmarks, which made their bright faces look ordinary.
She looked at the two brothers' faces and then let them go with satisfaction.
The new shop opened, and there were discounts and promotions. As expected, they were very busy today.
There were so many people around that Meng Xuanhe didn't plan to join in the fun, so as not to expose her identity. She carried the food box to the West Pavilion. She had been so busy these days that she had forgotten about the male lead.
"Xiao Qi." Her incense shop was finally managed, and she was filled with joy, and even her tone became much more cheerful.
It was not known whether Meng Xuanhe's joy had infected Xie Lin, or whether it was the first time she brought a lunch box to dine with him.
Xie Lin also smiled with her, with a soft arc, like the clear and bright water of a lake.
"Try this sesame, walnut and red date cake." As the saying goes, 30% of medicine is taken, and 70% of conditioning is done. This red date cake not only strengthens the spleen and stomach, but also replenishes qi and blood. Supplement nutrition with meals during the day, and take medicine after nightfall.
With these two approaches, she didn't believe that her vegetables would be stolen this time.
Xie Lin sat on the table, reaching out to feel for the red date cake Meng Xuan was talking about. He took the teapot, cups, and food box stand on the table, but he couldn't get the red date cake.
Meng Xuanhe looked at his actions, feeling sorry for him. He reached out and took a piece of it, feeding it to him.
Xie Lin felt her movements and swallowed it without saying anything. Then he raised his head and looked at Meng Xuanhe innocently, with a wet and pitiful expression.
"Your Highness, I can't get it."
Meng Xuanhe felt as if he was bewitched and fed him one piece after another.
Meng Xuanhe finally came to his senses after he ate the whole plate of sesame, walnut and red date cakes. After eating this whole box of cakes, Xie Lin didn't need to eat for the day.
But why did she reflexively reach out to feed him as soon as he came over?
Who was the one who was poisoned?
She returned to her palace feeling somewhat annoyed. It was impossible for her not to think about the shop.
After all, it was the first time to open a shop in this dynasty, so Meng Xuanhe was a little nervous, but also full of hope. She held the storybook in her hand, but her mind was not on it at all.
She glanced out from time to time, and kept reminding herself. It was only the beginning of the afternoon, and it would take at least 5 p.m. for Jiarun and Jialang to return.
"Princess, it's still early, don't worry too much." Nanny Wen knew about Meng Xuan and the shop, and understood that the princess was planning for her future. She was relieved but distressed at the same time.
"I'd better go and take a look. I'll leave the mansion to you." She couldn't bear it any longer and handed the mess to Nanny Wen. She changed into coarse cloth clothes, put on makeup, and slipped out of the mansion.
When she arrived at Chenxiangji, it was crowded with people. She finally squeezed in and planned to do some public opinion survey.
"Brother, what are you all doing in front of Chenxiangji?" Meng Xuanhe said with a puzzled look on his face.
"This is a newly opened incense shop with affordable prices. The prices at the Jinxiang Pavilion next door are too high. It costs a lot of money to remove filth on a daily basis, not to mention buying some incense to calm the mind and help you sleep." The man replied.
Meng Xuanhe looked at the crowd, among whom there were many common people. She smiled, although the profit was not high, but she was satisfied.
Today, everyone came to try it out for the sake of economic benefits. Tomorrow's sales are the key. Meng Xuanhe has been staying outside Chenxiang Jiji. Jiarun and Jialang are suitable for doing business and have managed the store in an orderly manner.
Before the evening hour, all the incense in the shop had been sold out. Jialang asked them to come back tomorrow. After seeing the guests off, Jiarun saw Meng Xuanhe standing outside the door.
"Sorry, the incense is sold out today." Jiarun said to her.
"It looks pretty good." Meng Xuanhe burst out laughing, unable to hide her smile as she looked at the makeup she had put on herself.
"Madam...Madam Wei, I don't quite understand why there is a daily limit. Wouldn't it be better to sell more?" The two recognized the person and asked in confusion.
"Today's good business is due to the affordable prices. To really last long, we have to look at the quality. Quality is more important than quantity," Meng Xuanhe said with a smile. Making incense requires a calm mind, and she kept Meng Sangxi's words in mind and strived for perfection.
It is better to make a small amount of perfume with high quality than to make it in a hurry. After all, she is the only perfume maker in the perfume shop.
"Let's go home." The three of them took off their makeup in the backyard of the perfume shop, locked the door of the shop, and took a shortcut back home.
This path leads to a secluded place in the princess's mansion, but the three of them can only crawl through a dog hole. Meng Xuanhe didn't care, and neither did Jiarun and Jialang. Back in the mansion, Meng Xuanhe put on his arrogant and cold disguise again, and they were like strangers.
"Your Highness, the person in the West Pavilion seems to be unwell." Wen Zhen bowed when she saw the princess, and was helped up by Meng Xuanhe.
She looked at the three of them together and was not surprised. Although there were rumors in the backyard of the princess's mansion that Meng Xuan was fickle and had thrown his favorite concubines behind.
But Nanny Wen Zhen believed the princess without reason, thinking that the princess must have been doting on the two brothers just to appease the emperor.
Meng Xuanhe's face changed, and he stood up and went straight to the West Pavilion. After the eldest princess left, there were only three of them left. The scene of looking at each other in silence was very awkward, and Jiarun Jialang judged the situation and returned to his own courtyard.
Wen Zhen looked at the two handsome boys walking away and couldn't help but sigh. It seems that only the man in the West Pavilion can occupy the princess' heart for a long time.
