Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 778 Yang Chong's Staff

   In the early morning of the second day, the Jiang family and their relatives who had not left the residence gathered in the main hall of the North Courtyard.

   This is the first time I have seen Jiang Liu, and I find it fresh and interesting. Jiang Mujin leaned into her ear and whispered, "Sister-in-law has already received twelve gifts."

  Jiang Liu turned his head and bit his ear with Fifth Sister, "It's okay, she will bring out more greetings later."

   Jiang Mujin's eyes rolled in the crowd, and a small pear vortex appeared at the corner of his mouth. The children brought by cousins, in-laws and relatives from their hometown are not counted. For their brothers and sisters, they need ten gifts from their sister-in-law. However, the greetings given by elders to sister-in-law are definitely different from those given by sister-in-law. What will sister-in-law give them?

   Jiang Mujin is looking forward to it.

   Finally, Brother Dalang and his sister-in-law met with the elders in the room, and it was their turn to come forward.

   Jiang Erlang led five younger brothers, Jiang Muzheng led three younger sisters and cousin Liao Chunling to meet the elder sister-in-law.

  Yue Jinyi has been to Fuzhong many times, and she has known them for a long time. She responded generously and gave them greetings one by one.

   After the ceremony, it’s time to eat. Due to the crowd today, the juniors open two tables alone. The five Jiang sisters and Liao Chunling went to eat in the east wing.

   When Jiang Liu was pinching the purse to guess what was inside, his sister whispered, "This purse must be embroidered by my sister-in-law."

Um? Jiang Liu looked down at the purse embroidered with the dividend purse peony on his hand, how did my sister see it?

   Jiang Muzheng, who is about to get married, is very knowledgeable. "When you get married, the purse must have an intentional image and auspicious meaning. The purse of the sister-in-law is embroidered with peonies and butterflies, which means good luck and wealth."

  A butterfly? Jiang Liu turned the purse over and read it twice, only to find that the butterfly wings on the purse were embroidered in a pattern, which was very similar to a peony in color and style. This embroidery and imagination is absolutely incredible!

  Jiang Muyan turned to discuss with her second sister, "I think this pattern is very beautiful, we will also draw a few according to this pattern and embroider it on the purse and handkerchief."

   "Okay." Jiang Muzheng responded immediately.

  Liao Chunling also joined the discussion, "In addition to flowers and butterflies, deer, frogs, and cicadas can all be added..."

   Jiang Murong, Jiang Mujin, and Jiang Liu, who were not very popular, pretended not to hear anything, and drank their food. After the meal, sister-in-law stayed in the north courtyard to chat with the elders, Jiang Song and Jiang Erye went to the yamen to work, Jiang Ling and Jiang Erlang rushed back to the barracks to continue their training, Sanlang and Shilang went to the academy to study, and the Jiang sisters helped Yazheng and Yan Shi. Put away the wedding supplies, let the maid and old lady wash and put them away, take them out for use when Jiang Muzheng gets married, wash the ones borrowed from other homes and send them home.

   After finishing the trivia, the trio who were interested in the purse rushed to the study to paint, and then went to the sister-in-law for advice. Jiang Murong took her daughter to chat with her new siblings, Jiang Mujin took Jiang Xiaoshu and Xiaoyueer to play with cats in the garden, and Jiang Liu slipped into the main courtyard of Ren's residence.

  Brother took out the memorials and account books hidden in the mezzanine of the Taoist offering table last night, and asked Jiang Liu to find a proper place to put them away. Jiang Liu didn't understand at the time, so he stood on tiptoe and asked in his brother's ear, "Why didn't my brother hide directly?"

   Jiang Ling pursed his lips and whispered, "It's too late, it's too late."

   It was almost midnight when she went to bed last night. My brother had to practice martial arts after his work, so it must be later. Jiang Liu felt distressed and immediately responded.

   She took the maid and the old lady into her brother's room and ordered them to carry her brother's bedding to the yard to dry. She was about to pick up the porcelain pillow that her brother put on the bedside when Shu Qiu was surprised, "This is not the girl's..."

   Nanny Zhao slapped her daughter's back and scolded, "What nonsense! This is clearly the young master's!"

  This porcelain pillow was originally reserved by Jiang, but she was not used to sleeping, so she used the porcelain pillow as a small stool. Later, for some reason, the pillow ran into my brother's room. Jiang Liu skipped the pillow and instructed, "Go and take out the bedding in the wing of the west courtyard to dry."

After the nanny took Qin Qing and Qin Bai out, Jiang Liu asked Shu Qiu to sort out the pen and ink on her brother's desk, while she took out the memorial, three account books and more than ten pages of confessions from the porcelain pillow, and placed them among several books, instructing Said, "Take these books to the West Courtyard."

   "Yes." Shu Qiu picked up the book and rushed to the Western Academy with the girl. There are account books in the study room of the West Court. These things are placed together with the account books and are not conspicuous.

   Jiang Liu looked at the account book for a while, and Tan Liang, the steward of Bantangxiang, came to report the matter, saying that the ambergris that Feng Zijin brought back from overseas had been prepared. In this batch of ambergris, there is a box that is going to be sent to Princess Leyang's mansion, so Jiang Liu will be relieved to see it in person. She ordered, "Bring these account books, let's go to the incense."

   "Yes." When Shu Qiu collected the account book and followed the girl to the front yard, the account book fell into Ya Yin's hands. Jiang Liu didn't take a second look, then got on the carriage first and rushed to Bantangxiang.

  The smelly ambergris blocks taken out of the box have been ground and added with accessories to make incense sticks, incense sticks and incense sticks in the box, giving people a very tall feeling.

   Jiang ordered someone to light one and put it in the incense burner, closing his eyes and tasting it quietly. She has been running a powder shop for several years, and has been in the incense business for almost a year. She is not good at making incense, but she is half an expert in incense tasting.

Ambergris is a delicate and soft animal fragrance, with a fragrance like the beauty of musk, with a slight earthy fragrance, and some like seaweed, wood, and moss. It has a special sweetness and an extremely long-lasting fragrance. Very complex aroma combination. In addition, the longevity of ambergris is nearly thirty times longer than that of musk, and it can last for several months... In short, it is the best incense, and the price is not irrelevant, but gold!

  The corners of Jiang Liuben's smiling mouth slowly raised, opened his eyes and said the word "good", and then ordered, "Uncle Crow, you will send this box of incense to Princess Leyang's house."

Yayin returned from horse trading in Hangzhou. He had already heard Jiang Bai say that the lady in Leyang asked Jiang for incense in the street, so it was not surprising that after the ambergris was made, she would give him a box of Princess Leyang, which made him wonder. The question is why the girl asked him to send it.

  Jiang Liu said with a smile, "You are the most courageous here, and I am most at ease to let you do this."

Right! Yayin, who was born five-year-old and three-thick, with a bandit-like body, grabbed the incense box and walked out with tiger steps. Tan Liang and the others looked at Yayin, and the boulder in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

   The girl didn't let them go to Leyang Princess Mansion to send incense, which is really nice!

After the    incense was made, the price would be set. Jiang Liu ordered, "Uncle Xu sent someone to invite Brother Feng, and Uncle Tan followed me to the study."

  The girl went to the study, and Shu Qiu naturally picked up a stack of account books and followed behind the girl.

   After Feng Zi entered, he and Jiang stayed in the room to discuss for more than an hour before letting everyone disperse. When Shuqiu went to the latrine, Jiang Liu hid his grandfather's memorials, account books and confessions in the middle of the box containing the spice books. Although she was a little superstitious, Jiang Liu just felt that apart from placing these objects in Taoist or Buddhist halls, she could only feel at ease if they were placed in a half-dwelling incense full of spices.

   After Shuqiu came back, Jiang Liu instructed, "Take three small boxes of ambergris and bring them back to the mansion, and give them to uncle, uncle and elder brother."

  Why don't you give it to Daddy? That's because her father is very picky about incense and only uses top-grade Sanyun incense!

  Jiang Liu picked out a few more books about spices, and when Shu Qiu was about to return to Fuzhong, Ya Yin finally came back. This fellow grinned and ran to Jiang Liu's side, bent down and gloated, "Girl, Yang Chong was rewarded with ten sticks by Princess Leyang, and he was dragged down just after being tortured by a stick when he went!"

   Well played! Yang Chong, the head of the guards at Princess Leyang's mansion, is Princess Leyang's number one thug. He also helped Princess Leyang capture her father. Such a dog servant should be killed directly!
