Liu Xin gently opened the lid of the box and then closed it again. At this moment of effort, a seemingly non-existent fragrance floated from the box. This fragrance was not strong, but it gave people a sense of purity and seclusion, and it lingered in the room endlessly, which was endlessly memorable.
Ma Yun and Cai Yan praised in unison: "It smells so good!"
Liu Xin reopened the lid of the box and took out a few square pieces from the inside. This peculiar aroma is emitted from these small squares. In fact, it is a small piece of spice on the outside. I don't know what material it is wrapped in. Even if it was wrapped tightly, the fragrance still exuded, which was much stronger than the moment when Liu Xin opened the lid of the box. Liu Xin held up a few pieces of spices and said, "How about it, are you satisfied with the gift I brought back?"
Ma Yun and the others couldn't wait to grab a small piece of spice from his hand and put it under their noses and kept sniffing.
Liu Xin saw Cai Jue sitting there without moving, but looked at Ma Yun and the others baffledly, so he got up with a small piece of spice and handed it to her, "Miss Cai, this piece is for you."
Cai Jue didn't expect that the gift Liu Xin brought back also belonged to her. He was so excited that he couldn't speak. He grabbed it and pressed it tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid of being snatched by others.
Liu Xin looked at her cautiously and smiled, but when she turned around, she saw Qiao'er staring at the spices in Ma Yun and the others. Liu Yu is now able to sit at the table and eat by herself, and she no longer needs Qiao'er to hold her. Naturally, she has no reason to sit on the table. She is still Liu Xin's woman, but she is still a maid. She is not qualified to get such a precious thing. Although she is greedy, she can only watch it there. If she asks for it, she will never dare. of. Liu Xin felt funny, and said, "Qiaoer, come here, and you have a copy here."
Qiao'er couldn't believe her ears, blurted out, and asked: "Master, you didn't lie to me, there really is mine?"
This time, in Zhang Zi's home, two boxes of this spice were found, and each box contained a whole hundred small pieces. Liu Xin knows that there are no good cosmetics in this era. Perfume can be regarded as a woman's favorite, just like those famous brand perfumes in later generations. He naturally wanted to give such precious spices to his beloved women, so he did not register these two boxes of spices in the register, but took them home directly. Although Qiao'er has no reputation, she has been married to him. No matter how expensive the spice is, she should be given a copy, so Liu Xin smiled and nodded at her, and said affirmatively: "Of course you have a share. , I've done it all."
This sudden happiness had too much impact on Qiao'er. If it hadn't been for the maid beside her to reach out to support her, she would fall.
Liu Xin sat down again, and suddenly saw Liu Rui's nose twitching, she seemed to be sucking the scent in the room vigorously, and then I remembered that after he came back this time, the little girl hadn't stuck to him like before. She couldn't help but feel strange. Asked: "Rui Er, do you want a copy too? Just talk to Daddy if you want."
Liu Rui pursed her mouth and nodded vigorously, but did not speak.
Liu Xin was even more strange, and was about to ask her what's wrong. Ma Yun discovered the abnormality and whispered a few words in his ear.
It turned out that in a blink of an eye, Liu Rui was one year older, and Zhu Qian saw her daughter getting older. Under Liu Xin's connivance, she became more and more crazy. Liu Rui is not Liu Xin's biological person, she will be a big girl in a few years, and it is indeed a bit shameful to always drill into Liu Xin's arms. Zhu Qian didn't dare to tell Liu Xinming, so she told Ma Yun of her thoughts, and with Ma Yun's approval, the discipline of Liu Rui was tightened again. As a result, Liu Rui now sees Liu Xin, his stepfather, who wants to get close and is worried about being reprimanded by his mother, so that she has such a cautious look.
Liu Xin couldn't help but shook his head. This Zhu Qian would really worry about it. He treats Rui'er as his biological daughter. Could it be that she would not be able to eat her! It seems that we have to find a way to help Rui'er find a good in-law's house, otherwise Zhu Qian may not be able to let it go.
Bian Yu saw Liu Xin frowning and shook his head, not knowing what difficult things he encountered. Thinking that today is a reunion day, everyone should be happy, so he said, "Master, Do you know what fragrance this is?"
These two boxes of spices are very secretly hidden in Zhang Zi's home. Even Zhang Zi's wives and concubines do not know that there are such precious spices in the house. When Liu Xin found it, Zhang Zi and several of his trusted minions had been beheaded, and he couldn't find out what these things were called or where they came from. Bian Yu did ask the point this time, but Liu Xin really couldn't answer it, so she shrugged helplessly and said, "I really don't know the name of this Xiang."
Bian Yu smiled and said, "Master, the slave family knows this Xiang's name."
The women who were sniffing the scent all stopped, and Cai Yan urged: "Since Sister Yu knows, let's say it quickly, so that we can all gain insight."
Bian Yu took the incense in his hand under his nose and sniffed vigorously, and said: "This incense is called Feilai incense. I heard that it is a tribute from a foreign country to the court. It is very rare. The advantage of this incense is that it does not require a smoker. The fragrance can last for a long time. If you pull a small piece and put it in the incense burner to ignite, then the fragrance of the whole room can last for more than a month without dissipating. Moreover, this fragrance has its unique effects, which not only refreshes the mind. The brain can also drive away mosquitoes, flies, snakes and insects, so it is more precious."
Everyone didn't expect this spice to have such a weird place. Cai Yan picked up his thumb and boasted: "Unexpectedly, Sister Yu knows so much. He doesn't even know these things."
Bian Yu blushed, and said embarrassedly: "In fact, how do I know what. When I was in Drunk Hongchen, a guest gave me some and boasted to me for a long time, so I remember. I just smelled the fragrance, I felt a bit like it, and after looking at it carefully for a long while, it was confirmed that it was Feilaixiang."
Cai Yan quit, shouting: "Okay, it turns out that Sister Yu has already had it. Such a good thing is hidden and enjoyed alone, huh, you should take this piece in your hand and give it to our sisters."
As soon as she finished speaking, she really started to grab Bian Yu's spice. Bian Yu hurriedly put the spices in his arms, and said: "At that time, it was just as big as a fingernail, and it was not enough for a sister who was close enough to touch it. How can I keep it now."
Liu Xin knew that they were just playing around, but worried that Cai Yan would have a fetal gas again, and quickly said: "Okay, okay, don't fight. There are still in my box, and they will be kept by his wife. Whoever performs well in the future will be rewarded by the wife."
When he said this, Ma Yun unceremoniously grabbed the box into his arms. Her movements were so swift and violent that Liu Xin was caught off guard and was taken aback. The weight of this bronze box was really not light. Fortunately, Ma Yun had exercised since she was a child and had some strength, otherwise it would be strange if she didn't hurt her arm.
When Liu Xin said this, he had already thought about it. This time he regained Jiang Xia and other four counties, but he didn't know what the court would say. This kind of spice is so precious that I left a box of it, and another box seemed to be given to Liu Hong. As long as he is happy and stands on his side, there is nothing to worry about anymore.
After dinner, Liu Xin did not go to the study to deal with official duties as usual, but went directly to Ma Yun's courtyard. The maids are very acquainted and hid in the wing room with Liu Yu and Ma Fan.
Ma Fan was only ten months old and had just been breast-fed. After crawling for a while, he was a little tired and fell asleep after being coaxed by the maids. Liu Yu is different. He can run and talk now, has been arguing to see his parents, and his strength is surprisingly strong. Two or three maids can't hold him back at the four-year-old.
After Liu Xin came in, he heard his noise and led him into Ma Yun's room. No matter how many intimate things his parents had to say, Liu Yuke sat between the two of them carelessly, and a small light bulb illuminated the whole room brightly.
Seeing Liu Xin's helpless look, Ma Yun covered her mouth and "eats" and laughed. This little guy has amazing energy. He has been pestering Liu Xin, telling him to tell a story, and only slowly fell asleep until the third clock.
Ma Yun looked at her son being carried out by the maid, and then he was relieved, and said, "You know how hard I am usually, now it's all done."
Liu Xin smiled slyly, and said: "Who said you're done, the story has just begun!"
His words instantly ignited the passion that the two people had suppressed for a long time. Soon there were bursts of heart-pounding sounds in the room, like flying incense, floating and lingering for a long time...
With Ma Yun's afternoon saying "Follow you at night..." Liu Xin began to act unscrupulously. Although Ma Yun refused to accept the two tricks of "Blowing Yuxiao" and "**Flower", he still promised him to change a few. Poses. In fact, it was useless if she didn't agree. Liu Xin couldn't hold back anymore. After a fierce battle, Ma Yun had already surrendered. She was so weak and weak that she could only act as if she was a prince.
The two went crazy overnight, and it wasn't until the fifth shift that Liu Xin lay down contentedly, while Ma Yun had already been unable to support it, and fell into a deep sleep.
Liu Xin did not sleep, and his physical exertion was very heavy today. It took a long time to regain some energy. Liu Xin sat up and glanced at Ma Yun, who was blushing and still smiling at the corner of her mouth. He pulled the quilt and gently covered her body. This night, it was so crazy, I am afraid that at noon, I don't know if she can get up.
Compared with usual, Liu Xin got up almost half an hour late today. Cai Yan and Zhu Qian, who are also used to getting up early, have been waiting for him in the flower hall for a long time. Other people and children generally get up late. Breakfast is always The three of them ate together. Seeing Liu Xin coming in, both Cai Yan and Zhu Qian showed meaningful smiles.
Liu Xin looked at their unkind smiles, and said fiercely: "How dare you laugh at me! There are you guys who look good at night!"
Zhu Qian quickly lowered her head. Cai Yan was not afraid. He gently stroked his growing belly, and said triumphantly: "Who is afraid of whom!"
Liu Xin suddenly wilted like a frustrated ball.
Halfway through breakfast, a little maid walked in hurriedly and said: "Master, Master Ju is in a hurry to report."
