Qi Yun has read a lot of books about spices, and can recognize it is agarwood, but the quality is not easy to know by just looking at it.
When I took it to someone for identification, the result was better than Qi Yun thought.
This is a top quality agarwood, excellent quality, priceless!
And Qi Yun gave this box to Ye Jiao, which was bought by Jiao Niang, and should be kept by him, and Qi Yun said clearly: "Since it is a good thing, you should use it, otherwise it would be a waste to throw it away."
Ye Jiao blinked: "But I can't, and you said, isn't this price more than gold?"
Since it is more expensive than gold, it seems a bit wasteful to light it so casually.
Qi Yun didn't mind how much this thing was worth, so he smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's the same if you like to burn and play with it."
It's just that Qi Yun didn't know that the little ginseng was entangled with this box for a long time.
In the end, she still said to Qi Yun, "Find me a book."
It was already night, and it was pitch black outside, and there was not much noise.
Xu Bao and Longfengti have already slept, and they slept in the next room, and now there are only the husband and wife in the inner room.
Qi Yun originally wanted to take advantage of this time to tidy up the store account book sent by Steward Song, but after hearing Ye Jiao's words, he immediately threw the account book aside, gathered up his coat, got up and walked to the bedside, supporting it with one hand. The bed frame, then leaned down slightly to look at Ye Jiao and said, "What book do you want?"
Qi Erlang is still thinking about it, each book has its own advantages. Although the previous one has been read a lot, it looks friendly. The new ones I bought later are fresh, although some poses are a bit more difficult. , but it is not impossible to try.
As long as Jiao Niang nodded, he would naturally have nothing to do.
Ye Jiao was soaking her feet at the moment, dangling in the water basin, she heard the words, bit her lower lip, and seemed to have made a big decision before she raised her head and said to Qi Yun, "If you can learn how to mix fragrance, you can do it. ."
Qi Yun: …
Feeling a little different from what he thought, Qi Yun decided to ask more: "Do you want to learn how to make perfume?"
Ye Jiao nodded, her voice soft: "Since it's rare, you have to use it well. Everything is a gift from heaven and earth, and it can't be consumed for nothing."
This is something Ye Jiao has never said before, but it is what Little Ginseng has always insisted on.
In fact, in these thousand years, there are not many insights that can be obtained, and little ginseng is not a person who likes to think. This is probably one of them.
She always cherishes everything she has now, and doesn't want to ignore it at all.
It's just that this answer was obviously different from what Qi Yun thought, but instead of letting Ye Jiao see his disappointment, he took the cloth handkerchief and sat sideways on the low stool, then reached out to help Ye Jiao wipe, and said in his mouth, "Actually, If you want to study carefully, I can find you a lady gentleman."
Ye Jiao thought for a while, but looked at Qi Yun: "Xiang Gong, can you do it?"
In fact, Qi Yun would not, after all, there was no time when Qi Erlang needed spices in his past.
In addition to the smell of medicinal herbs, his body is the aroma of books and ink, and the spices beside him will make him breathless, so naturally he will not use it.
But when his wife asked, he couldn't say no, so he said, "I can study with you."
Ye Jiao smiled, nodded, and said softly, "Then I'll be with you, no need for Mrs. Xianggong, you teach me." In her heart, Qi Yun is omnipotent and can learn everything quickly.
Qi Yun didn't expect to find a job for himself, but with this smiling face, he could accept anything.
It's just that, if you promise an errand, you need to have some benefits.
So when Qi Yun went to pick up an incense scripture, he also picked up another book by the way.
Ye Jiao had never seen this book before, it looked new, but three or four bookmarks had already been added to it.
These bookmarks were made by Ye Jiao, which was flattened and dried with herbal flowers. Although it is not as effective as eating it, it is always good for the body to carry it around.
When Qi Yun got on the bed and the bed curtain fell, Ye Jiao asked him, "Xiang Gong, what is this?"
Qi Yun moved the bed table, put the candles on it, then leaned beside Ye Jiao and said, "This is the incense book, in addition to the types of incense written in it, there are also ways to light incense and burn the incense, take a look and look back. Let's learn together. As for this one, see."
Ye Jiao did not doubt that she had it, so she took the book without a title and opened it.
The next moment, she quickly closed it again, raised her head and looked at Qi Yun: "Xianggong, this book is all pictures, there are no words."
Qi Yun reached out and took her in his arms, and asked softly, "Don't you like it?"
Ye Jiao leaned over and kissed him: "I like it, let's watch it together."
Qi Yun smiled, he was accustomed to Ye Jiao's frank appearance, and found it extra cute.
Afterwards, the two of them looked at each page by the candlelight. I have to say that the food I bought this time is really top-quality, the dishes are fine, and it is like a fine brushwork painting. Every detail is well outlined, but those hidden places are Cleverly use flowers or landscapes to block, looking at some hazy beauty.
Ye Jiao focused on the ones that Qi Yun had bookmarked, and sighed as she looked at it: "Xianggong, you picked really well, this time you looked more carefully than me... Xianggong?"
She responded with a soft kiss on the cheek.
There was a smile in the man's voice: "You have to try it to find out."
Ye Jiao didn't refuse. Instead, she nodded with a spirit of exploration, and wanted to kiss him, but when she got close, she reached out and pressed down, "You've got me."
This is like lighting a fire and burning both of them in.
And when the love was deep, the eyes of the little ginseng were already misty. She turned her head to look at the book that was thrown aside, and the candles on the bed table. The rare ears were red, and she grabbed hard. He rested on the shoulder of the man on his body and said in a low voice, "Xianggong, blow out the candle, it's too bright."
However, Qi Yun pushed forward heavily, his voice was low and there was some smile in his voice: "Once you have agreed to study hard, naturally you need to light up to see clearly."
Ye Jiao could only care about covering her mouth, how could she manage candles
She was so numb and rolled together a few times, Ye Jiao thought vaguely, and finally understood why Qi Yun made the bed so big.
I used to sleep comfortably with my kids, but now I have a bed and candles.
He could see clearly, even a few beads of sweat from this man.
When Ye Jiao was curled up in his arms and gasping for breath, she heard Qi Yun whisper in her ear, "Jiao Niang, will you study in the future?"
In the end, whether to ask about incense or about painting, Qi Yun didn't make it clear, and Little Ginseng didn't bother to ask.
Ye Jiao took a bite on his shoulder and quickly fell asleep.
When it comes to learning to recognize fragrance, Qi Yun is indeed faster than Ye Jiao, Ye Jiao is not in a hurry, but finds a lot of fun. After all, when two people like each other, everything will be interesting.
However, for Qi Yun, this box of agarwood is not just a valuable object.
Maybe the old man who sold the stuff or even his owner didn't know that the box had a mezzanine, but just by looking at the box, you knew that your ancestors should be a rich family.
Seeing that they were still able to linger in the capital without being driven out, they were not the kind of officials who were reprimanded by the emperor.
Rich people are in trouble, if it is really a foundation, helping out may be able to form a good relationship.
In this world, it is always easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow, but if you can pull a hand, it will inevitably not be a help.
So, Qi Yun asked Steward Qin to find this old man these days and talk about his identity.
But steward Qin knew that he almost broke Qi Yun's affairs, and he was worried. Now that he got an errand, he naturally worked extra hard, and used all his contacts to help the owner find it.
Compared with the nervousness of Qi Er and his wife, Qi Ming is more relaxed.
It stands to reason that it is the most important thing for someone like him to start the exam, but Qi Ming is more relaxed when the exam is approaching.
I have recited everything that should be recited on the left and right, and learned everything that should be learned. I can't be in a hurry at this moment.
Moreover, he and his righteous brother Chu Chengyun often met, which also gave Qi Ming a special motivation.
Until the day of the exam, it was not Qi Yun and his wife who sent Qi Ming in a carriage, but Chu Chengyun.
Looking at the third brother who was taken away by Chu Chengyun, Ye Jiao raised her head and asked, "Do you think the third brother will be beaten?"
Qi Yun hugged her shoulders, heard the words, and said slowly: "If you don't hit it, it's all luck, you can't force it," and then his voice paused, "But, if you don't hit it, I'm afraid he won't see him outside the palace again. Here comes this righteous brother."
Chu Chengyun took great pains to guide Qi Ming. If he couldn't see the result, the new emperor, who was still somewhat self-willed, would not bow his head easily. By that time, the fate of his third brother and him would be broken.
Incompetent people will always be abandoned.
However, Qi Yun and Ye Jiao still rode in the carriage, followed behind them, and watched Qi Ming enter the examination room from a distance.
Close the examination room, seal it, and no more entry and exit.
After the examinations began, they had to take three consecutive exams. In the previous court, the exams were taken out to be repaired. However, the imperial examinations of this dynasty were more standardized and strict. As long as they started, they had to finish three exams before they could pass the exams. Live on your own in there.
This is not only a test of knowledge, but also a struggle for physical strength and will.
Every relative who enters the venue and raises a child is apprehensive. When people are in a panic, they like to pray to the illusory gods and Buddhas. Recently, the incense in temples and Taoist temples inside and outside the capital has always been particularly prosperous. Even Ye Jiao received Liu's Instead of her letter, she went to the Taoist temple outside the city to pay her respects.
Liu's reason for choosing a Taoist temple near the capital is that the closer it is, the better the blessing.
In this tense atmosphere, a heavy rain quietly fell on the capital.
