Gu Qiang was never used to having incense around her, so she always smelled of tea and medicine. According to Huai'an's care, it was probably like pickled vegetables.
It's not that Gu Qiang doesn't like the smell, it actually smells very comfortable to her. However, Gu Huaian is a doctor, and he has always been a little skeptical about this kind of spice with special effects, so Gu Huaian Qiang often regards these as a very unnatural external intervention, and has never regarded them as something that can be relied on.
"Ah sneeze!"
Gu Qiang sniffed it and suddenly sneezed loudly, startling Shen Qianshan next to him.
"Did you catch a cold?"
Seeing Gu Qiang hesitate to use too much force, Shen Qianshan became a little confused. Suddenly he felt a little funny and almost laughed out loud. Shen Qianshan was able to hold it in, but the girl beside him Su Liangke didn't have that much determination anymore, so he laughed directly.
"As expected of you, even when you sneeze you are so powerful."
"I don't!"
Gu Qiang turned his head and looked at the spice in Shen Qianshan's hand, "Where did you get this thing from? The smell is much stronger than what I usually smell, and I can't get used to it for a while. You What the hell is this?"
At first, Gu Qiang thought that this fragrance was similar to the one used by the girls in Yuhua Tower, but when she came to her senses, she realized that it was quite different. The fragrance used by the girls in Yuhua Tower was lighter than this one. Duo, when I smelled it at first, I thought it was quite normal, but my mother felt it was so weird that she couldn't stand it.
"Isn't this box different from the ones used by the girls in Yuhualou?"
Shen Qianshan originally thought that this matter would be settled, but he didn't expect that Gu Qiang's sneeze would actually involve these things, which really surprised him.
"Okay, you don't have to embarrass Gu Qiang. I know the origin of this spice."
Chu Tiankuo, who had been sitting aside, had smelled the spice just now. His memory was relatively better, so after smelling the spice, he began to carefully recall where he had smelled it. smell.
What Gu Qiang said at the beginning was indeed a bit misleading. He also thought that this spice was actually the kind of fragrance commonly seen among the girls in Yuhualou, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was wrong.
The girls in Huayuhualou smoke incense to help them sleep, but when they go downstairs, they don't carry this kind of incense with them, because Yuhualou is a brothel after all, and it always wants to attract customers. .
So Gu Qiang smelled those smells mostly during the day, but those girls had no way of entering the palace.
And after smelling it carefully, you will notice the difference between this incense and the requiem they usually use.
"Huh? You feel something is different too, don't you?"
Gusu Liang took the piece of spice and smelled it over and over again in front of his nose, "How did your nose grow? Why can't I feel any difference?"
"There is an incense shop in the capital, which makes all kinds of incense, and one of them is this one."
Chu Tiankuo couldn't sleep a while ago. It was already late at night, but he still couldn't fall asleep. In order not to make his spirit look bad and make everyone worry, he once went there secretly. That incense shop.
I bought a piece of spice that can calm the nerves. Although it is not the same kind as this one, I have smelled that smell accidentally, so I still have some memories of it.
Chu Tiankuo remembered clearly at that time that he got the piece of spice and used it that night. He slept peacefully all night and did not wake up even in the middle of the night. He woke up the next morning. I felt refreshed when I was there.
Gu Huaian studied beside him for a long time, and suddenly heard Chu Tiankuo say these words, and immediately became wary, "Why are you going to that incense shop? Many of the raw materials for spices there are medicinal materials, in case there is anything If the medicinal materials conflict with what I use for you, the medicinal effects will be offset."
Gu Huaian was also afraid that something would happen to Chu Tiankuo's physical condition, so he was so nervous. However, Chu Tiankuo felt that there was no big problem in this matter, so he just smiled and said, "There shouldn't be any problem. I I think that spice is quite useful.”
Since Chu Tiankuo took the medicine, his sleep has been extremely unstable. He really had no choice but to use spices, thinking that there wouldn't be any big problems, so he used them. Unexpectedly, Gu Huaian's reaction was still So big.
"If that's the case, it seems we have to go there."
Shen Qianshan didn't think this matter was groundless. Since Chu Tiankuo had already mentioned it, it meant that even he felt that there was something wrong with it. If he didn't go and take a look, he would never know it in his life. Know the truth.
Shen Qianshan took Gu Qiang and Gu Huaian there together. This incense shop had just opened its doors, but its business was booming. Who among those who came in and out didn't come here because of its reputation? It’s all about the spice here.
Looking at the people coming in and out, Gu Qiang also felt very impressed. After all, everyone has different aesthetics. Not everyone will like the same spice, but the perfumer of this family can prepare it according to everyone's preferences. Corresponding spices, this is what I admire.
Although this is an incense shop, I didn't smell any unpleasant smell when I first entered the lobby. Could they really preserve the spices so well? No flavor at all.
Although he didn't know much about spices, Shen Qianshan felt a little strange when he walked in.
The owner of this place will not show up directly, but everyone will line up to go in. In this case, they will not be able to go in together. If they find anything, it will not be very convenient to communicate later. This actually made him a little worried.
Because Gu Huaian was a little curious about this perfume maker, he chose to be the first to walk in. After stating his request, he waited quietly.
The people outside didn't seem to be in a hurry, and they were waiting for the next person to come in after the last person came out. However, there was no movement for a long time, and Shen Qianshan and Gu Qiang were still a little worried. , I don’t know what kind of person is in this room.
The last time Chu Tiankuo came over, he just stated his request and took away a piece of spice. It was already so easy to use. It was really hard to imagine what kind of person was hiding behind this screen
After a long time, Gu Huaian came out from behind the screen, with a very relaxed expression on his face. It seemed that the people inside did not make him wary, but on the contrary, they were a little trusting.
"Did you get something?"
Gu Huaian smiled and nodded, "That's it. It tastes pretty good. Maybe starting from today, I will change my impression of these perfumers."
This incense maker is indeed quite capable. He made a piece of spice casually, and even Gu Huai'an thought it smelled really good. He had always been very picky about this kind of thing. If he could say a good word, It’s really not easy.
"Brother, are you sure there is nothing wrong with this thing?"
Gu Qiang happened to catch a cold, and her nose couldn't smell anything at the moment. There was no way to evaluate the ability of this perfume maker. However, the expression on 2's face now looked really extraordinary. Could it be that this Is something really so attractive
"There are just some ordinary spices in it. Don't you believe my nose? There is indeed nothing wrong with it, but I can vaguely feel that there seems to be something addictive in it."
Gu Huaian is also a doctor to some extent. He understands very well that there is definitely something wrong with smells that make people smell ordinary but addictive. Although he thinks this kind of smell is good, it does not mean that he has no doubts at all. Next, They had to wait until the two of them went in and then came out to get the spices, so that they could be sure whether there were any things in there that shouldn't be there.
"And the person inside was the one I entered, but he didn't show his face during the entire period. He was sitting so close, and he was hugging her so tightly that I couldn't see his face at all. I couldn't tell whether he was a boy or a girl. "
Gu Huaian was very purposeful when he first entered the door. Perhaps because of this, the other party began to think that there was something wrong with Gu Huaian, so he was more wary.
However, Gu Huaian knows that if there is something addictive in spices, it will definitely make people's health worse and worse. There must be something wrong with the taste that everyone likes. He is still very sober. .
Shen Qianshan was afraid that something unexpected would happen after entering, so he simply changed his original plan and went in by himself while Gu Qiang and Gu Huaian stayed outside waiting.
If something happens to him, Gu Huaian can still take care of him outside and take Gu Qiang away in time. The person behind the screen is really a bit too mysterious. I don't know if he can do it when he goes in later. Getting some more precise information is not an easy matter.
Shen Qianshan walked in a little uneasily. The furnishings inside were indeed very simple. It was just a table with a wrapper on the back. The people were so tight that Gu Huaian couldn't tell whether they were men or women, and Shen Qianshan couldn't tell. With such a great ability, after entering the room, he did not focus all his attention on the person opposite, but quietly looked at the table in front of him.
