I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man
Chapter 41: First meet
Qin Nuo was shocked and looked at it. Isn't the center of the crowd, Baijizhai, his own fragrance shop?
He simply got out of the carriage, and as soon as he got off, there was a fragrant smell. It was the smell of toilet water that he was most familiar with, but it was too strong!
Qin Nuo lifted his feet and walked to the shop. Zhang Juyi dispelled the crowd in front of him. He soon arrived at the shop door, only to find out where the aroma came from.
On the ground, there are various glazed bottles on the ground, and the fragrance inside flows freely. The fragrance of pear flowers, lilies, and osmanthus ... overlaps into an almost pungent aroma.
Qin Nuo frowned. No wonder so many people have gathered here.
His eyes fell on the initiator of the incident. He was a young girl with a jade appearance. She looked only 13 or 14 years old. She was born with sakura lips and nose, sweet and cute, with a thin red halo on her cheek, like a sweet Delicious red apple.
Although the difference between men and women in this era is not particularly rigorous, but the ladies of famous aristocrats often wear curtain hats when they go out. In front of the girl, she was luxuriously dressed and obviously of extraordinary origin, but in the face of so many people, she had no intention of covering up.
She was embracing her hands, she said angrily: "I said that your shop is deceiving, this fragrance can't attract butterflies at all."
The manager of Baijizhai shouted injustice: "Miss, don't blame us, but the store has never said that this fragrance can attract butterflies!"
Because of Huo Youchan's good show, Xianglu of Baijizhai became famous. Of course, Miss Biejia will definitely not be able to recruit butterflies, but she will be the first one to come into trouble because of such things.
"Why do people in your shop say that everyone in Beijing says that this fragrance is magical, and I have seen it with my own eyes. Otherwise, why would you come to your side to customize so many goods." The girl was rushing and authentic. "At yesterday's banquet, I assured everyone that there would be good shows, because your perfume was messed up. How can you compensate me?"
Baijizhai's manager twitched his cheeks. What does it matter to us? Just looking at the rich or expensive, the girl can only continue to persuade, "Miss forgive me, the shop really does not have this magical fragrance. Maybe it is the peers who love and exaggerate, but our shop has never been so boastful. Yes, Miss, please read it. "
The maid next to the girl looked anxiously and persuaded, "Miss, it's late, we should go home."
The young girl was stubborn, "No, I must find what I want today. Is it because you hid the real famous products and tried to deal with things that are not influential. I have so much silver. If I do n’t Give up the real orphan, and I will ... "The girl's words paused.
Qin Nuo first turned around and ordered Li Wan to say a few words, then walked out of the crowd and asked, "What about the lady?"
The girl snorted coldly, "I just smashed this shop!" After speaking, she could see Qin Nuo's face clearly and couldn't help but stun it.
For a moment, the two stood opposite each other, and there was a laughter around them, watching the lively crowd shouting.
"Shit, it's not a real man if you don't hit it!"
"Just say you don't practice fake skills."
...
Qin Nuo frowned, "Miss forgive, the effect of Xianglu varies from person to person. The so-called butterfly can only be obtained occasionally by people with a relationship with Xianglu."
The young girl's face sank. "What do you say is that I am inferior to others? Which lady is the one who attracted the butterflies, it seems to be Huo's daughter, hum, a betrayal."
Anyone who sees his or her efforts ruined will be very angry, and the other person's words even involve his fiancee, and they will be even more angry.
There was still a little hesitation, and there was no scruples at this time. Qin Nuo asked coldly, "As long as this fragrance can attract things, will the lady no longer care?"
"Of course." The girl nodded.
"Miss, don't worry, if it's too late today, maybe it's just that the bee butterfly came later." Qin Nuo said indifferently, the voice did not fall, and a hum came suddenly from a distance. As the voice got closer, someone in the crowd began to exclaim.
"It's a bee!"
"A swarm of bees, run away!"
In a blink of an eye, a large swarm of bees, like a dark cloud, rushed head-to-head and covered their faces. The crowd fled, busy hiding their heads and covering their faces.
Qin Nuo stepped back, and Zhang Juzhang immediately brought the guard to protect him.
Looking at the other side, the girl from the bee colony seemed to be stunned and didn't even know how to avoid it.
Qin Nuo slightly hesitated and reminded: "Not yet running!"
Although he had the intention to scare each other, it was also a trouble for such a famous lady to be bitten.
The girl returned to God, but instead of following him back, she went straight up. I don't know where to find a dagger, cold light, waving fiber hand, silver light passing, and a dozen bees fell to the ground at once.
Qin Nuo was stunned, and the maid next to the girl turned out to be martial arts. I didn't know where to find a pair of Emei spines, wielded a spot in her hand, and every time I swiped, a bee body fell like rain.
The crowd had almost retreated, and there were only two scum girls. The maid was obviously better at martial arts. Emei's thorns turned up and down, but they couldn't resist more and more bees.
Can't help but shouted, "Miss, there are too many bees, which can't be resisted by slaves. Please hurry back to the store."
The girl grunted coldly, but stubbornly refused to give in. The bee colony was provoked by the two men and rushed to attack.
At this time, Qin Nuo was no longer a rookie who was new to martial arts. It was quickly seen that the girl looked at the flowers with a short sword. In fact, the effort was mediocre. If it were not for the maid to take care of it, it would have been exposed.
Even so, the maid was gradually unable to support it. An oversight, a bee got into the girl's sleeve and bit a bite.
The girl immediately screamed, threw the short sword on the ground, and jumped up holding her hands.
At this moment, the middle door opened, and the bees surged in like a wave. The maid exclaimed, and as soon as the moment came, a black curtain fell from the sky.
It was Qin Nuo who was helpless at the back. She took off her cloak to show off, covered the girl from head to toe, and then pulled her.
Zhang Juyi and Emei's maid were guarding behind, and the group retreated to the shop.
The shopkeeper immediately closed the store door. The original crowded place was empty, leaving only the strong fragrance and the bee colony lingering.
The girl's eyes were dark, she couldn't tell the direction, and bumped into Qin Nuo's arms.
Qin Nuo took a step back and lifted the cloak above her head.
"What are you doing?" The young girl was so angry and angry that her eyes were sobbing and she was holding her bitten arm.
Qin Nuo didn't bother to pay attention to her, but he didn't want to make things happen. The shopkeeper quickly took the ointment for swelling and stasis, and the maid thanked her, then smeared her own lady.
Qin Nuo next ordered the shopkeeper: "Things are ready. Pour out immediately."
The shopkeeper's order led the two guys, pushed the door open, and poured two pots of milky water out of the door.
The water moistened the ground and mixed with the fragrance of the fragrance. The strange fragrance disappeared instantly. Without Xianglu's attraction, the bee colony circled for a moment and flew away quickly. Only left a mess in front of the store.
The girl next to her was still holding her arms and grinning, and she was puzzled by the sight.
Didn't you say that this fragrance is long-lasting? Why don't you pour a basin of water? She stared at the copper basin in the shop's hands. "What's in it?"
The shopkeeper Dou took a look at Qin Nuo and laughed twice: "Miss forgive me, this is the secret recipe of the ancestral family of the shop, can not be disclosed."
In fact, it was a kind of lye that could neutralize the fragrance alcohol when Qin Nuo did the experiment before. He extracted some powder and put it in the store, waiting for the next research. I did not expect it would come in handy at this time.
The shopkeeper Dou also said: "Miss just said, as long as you can attract things, the fragrance of the shop is qualified, presumably Miss can be satisfied. It is late today, the store is not good for customers, please come back." The boss came, and the shopkeeper of Dou felt that his waist was straight up a lot.
How could it be satisfied. The girl jumped up, "Don't you say good butterflies? Why are bees attracted?"
Qin Nuo laughed next to him: "The bee and butterfly are all of the same genus, maybe these bees live closer together."
The girl glared at him in disappointment, and was about to speak, and suddenly held her back. "You ..." She pointed to Qin Nuo, "Isn't that the man I saw on the surface with Miss Huo that night? ? "
How could she recognize herself? Presumably it was one of the ships staying nearby.
The young girl blinked, "So you are the owner of this shop? You saved Miss Huo again ... oh!" The young girl felt intuitively that something was wrong inside.
Qin Nuo is a little embarrassed. Fortunately, in this era, the advertising industry is not so developed, and presumably girls will not associate too much.
He interrupted the girl's thoughts and laughed: "It just happened, maybe it's fate here, so I met the lady today."
The girl stayed for a moment and suddenly clapped her hands and said, "No wonder I couldn't attract butterflies with so many fragrances before, but it was you who really attracted butterflies and bees? It wasn't Miss Huo. You are so beautiful, no wonder butterfly bees like it. "
Looking at the other person's expression of sudden realization, Qin Nuo's smile was a little stiff. This was a deliberate satire on the part of me, or the girl in front of me was really natural.
The shopkeeper and the guy beside him couldn't help but want to laugh, but they didn't dare to pretend in front of the host.
The maid next to the girl took her placket and whispered, "Miss, it's inappropriate to say so."
The girl froze, didn't speak, and looked up at Qin Nuo again. The handsome face with a kind smile, she said sincerely: "You look so good, if I am a bee, I like you too."
Such outspoken words are truly shocking in the noble female circles of Beijing.
The maid was frightened, and quickly held the maiden's placket: "Miss, don't say any more."
He bowed and saluted at Qin Nuo again, and said with a grin: "My son forgive me, my lady has a better temperament. If it is not early today, we should leave. The fragrant dew today will be sent tomorrow to settle again."
"There is no need to settle. Today, because of Xianglu, Miss Gui's arm was injured, but a few bottles of Xianglu were a gift." Qin Nuo responded indifferently.
The maid should know her identity, otherwise she would not be so careful. I just do n’t know where the girl is. Take a closer look. She has exquisite facial features, fair complexion, and so outstanding looks, she should be a little famous in the noble female circle in Beijing.
After saying goodbye, the maid helped the host and hurried out of the shop.
On the carriage, the girl pursed her lips. "I didn't show rudeness. I just praised him for being good-looking. I used to say it in northern Xinjiang."
The waitress accompanied and laughed: "Miss said that it is just that Beijing is more strict, and that the son is also a noble."
"What a noble?" The girl asked.
"It should be Lord Brother Chun, who is today's brother." The maid reminded that in the capital, the King likes the shops that often come from home.
"King Chun, oh, I remember you said before, King Chun is a fool."
"Uh, that's what it said in the capital before, maybe it was passed on by a concubine." The maid also hesitated.
The girl gave a low hum, and immediately shook her sleeves boringly: "It's really annoying to Beijing, it would be better to stay in northern Xinjiang if I knew it." After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, "I just spoke rudely, Isn't he angry? "
"Probably not. It is said that Prince Chun is of a good-natured temperament, and he is rarely punished."
"That's good." The girl reassured.
The maid consoled again: "Even if you are angry, you are not afraid. Who is the lady? Why worry about a leisure king, just don't offend and blame without cause."
At Baijizhai, after confirming that the girl had left, Li Wan probed out from behind. His face was swollen, and three or four big purses were very conspicuous.
"Gonggong Li just took the person to the hive picked from the tree in the back. It was really hard." Dou Tzu explained to Qin Nuo.
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Qin Nuo sighed. Most of the anger that had risen because of his criticism of Huo Youchan dissipated.
Just now, when he saw the girl making trouble at the store entrance, he ordered Li Wan to go to the tree in the backyard and fetch the hive there. When I was approaching, I poured a bottle of honey dew on the ground. The aroma of honey dew was indistinguishable, but I couldn't hide the smell of the bees. There was a farce behind.
Qin Nuo was also angry for a while, and afterwards, it was ridiculous to think about this. He was too naive to be angry with a young girl. So he even confiscated the girl's compensation money and let them go.
"Apply the medicine first, wait for me to pick something from the Songshan store, then follow the carriage and go back." Qin Nuo said indifferently.
This is to forgive him for his disrespect. Li Maru was overjoyed and said quickly: "The slaves only knew."
**********************
The night was dark, golden lights sprinkled on the snow, and the entire garden seemed to envelope a layer of extravagant floating light.
Huo Donglai, wearing a dark blue owl, walked along the path of the garden with a small owl holding a lantern beside him.
Walk through the deep plum forest, walk across a pontoon, and finally stop in front of a loft made of green bamboo.
Don't wait for Xiaoyan to step forward to buckle the door. The courtyard door creaked and was pushed open.
"My grandfather finally came. The old man has been waiting for you for a long time."
Huo Donglai stepped into the room quickly, and a rush of hot air mixed with the fragrance of the plum blossoms smelt.
He took off his uncle and handed it to the servant, and then fell to the ground in front of the tall, thin figure standing at the window: "Father."
The last patriarch of the Huo family, the top gatekeeper of Da Zhou, is an old man who is now too old. His hair was white, but his eyebrows were clear and bright, shining with wisdom.
Those who come to this small courtyard for the first time are hard to believe that Huo Changyang, who was a veteran of the Three Zhou Dynasty and an emperor of the two Dynasties, is now so simple and humble in his life at home.
It is completely different from the extravagant enjoyment in the aristocratic circle. Huo Changyang daily clothed blue shirt, bamboo house courtyard. Even a small vegetable field was opened in the backyard with some fruits and vegetables.
Mei's wife, Hezi, is leisurely and comfortable, all the wind and rain outside seem to have nothing to do with him. Even before the death of Emperor Jing Yao and the new emperor ascended to the throne, he continued to fall ill at home without showing up.
She didn't show up because Zhizhu was holding it, she knew the big picture, but today things are different.
With a long sigh, Huo Changyang sat down in a chair with a weary expression and asked, "Are you sure?"
"The queen mother is still blocking the news, but the Taiyuan Hospital Meiyuan was secretly sending the news yesterday. It should be true." Huo Donglai looked dignified.
Qin Cong's illness today began after he received Qin Jian's killing ring in a hot spring villa. Suddenly, he passed out because of severe pain in his heart. After that, he was treated promptly by the doctor, and when he woke up, he was always weak and unbearable.
I thought I could recover slowly after taking a rest, but who would have expected it to go down sharply. What made him even more displeased was that Queen Mother Huo even wanted to hide them.
"It's not easy for your sister to be in the palace. The previous things were not smooth, so she was in a hurry." Huo Changyang understood what his son was anxious about. Do something trivial. "
"The son didn't care about it, it was the queen mother. She was too late to ignore it." Huo Dong came to sigh injustice. Although he was distressed by Huo Youchan, he nodded in agreement with the previous plan. For the sake of the overall situation, he was already used to abandoning certain things.
Huo Changyang shook his head: "Did you say how much time is left?"
"Mei Yuanzheng means that it can support up to about half a year. But I heard that the Queen Mother has secretly dispatched manpower to go to the south to find a hidden doctor."
"Well, she's really getting more confused. At that time you can help her clean it up, don't leak the news because of this."
"The son has sent someone to follow." Huo Donglai frowned. "I'm afraid Pei Yan will also get news over there."
"After all, it can't be hidden. Just how long can it be delayed." Huo Changyang smiled bitterly.
Originally thought that when the new emperor ascended the throne, the Huo family could maintain stability for at least 20 years. With the old opponent Pei Yi, they can slowly grind. Who can imagine a sudden change in the situation.
"There seems to be a concubine in the palace who is pregnant?"
"I'm going to give birth in the next few days, but I don't know about men and women. But even a son, I'm afraid ..." Huo Dong didn't take it for granted. Even if he gave birth to a male child, what can a half-year-old baby do? How long to live. Nowadays, even aristocratic homes, baby deaths are common. Qin Cong died of a boy when he was a prince.
"After all, it is better than nothing. There is also the one in Huangling who can also be contacted."
In the dark bamboo shed, the two whispered and talked about the most secret thing in the world. Every sentence was related to the fate of this huge empire.
**********************
Under the bright candlelight, Qin Nuo turned over and looked at the jade material in his hands. This is what he just picked from the Songshan shop, a good piece of pure white jade.
A simple process has been carried out by the master in the shop, and basically it looks like a small beast, but how it is done depends on the craftsmanship.
Recalling that when she received the little snowman during the day, she rejoiced slightly with regret, and Qin Nuo took the initiative and began to craft a special gift.
The feeling of wishing her a smile, this is the feeling of love.
When the night was quiet, Qin Nuo also thought carefully about Huo Youchan's feelings. It is undeniable that he liked her very much. Is it because of his looks, his emotions, or his talents, or his love, or his pity, or his love ... These things are not clear to him, but in the face of a girl, the feeling of heartbeat is very clear.
A kitten carved by myself, although the knife is rough and the cat is terrible, it is still his own heart. The white jade material is pure and flawless, and it will not dissipate as easily as Xin Xue. Qin Nuo also thoughtfully used a red ribbon to tie a neckband to this newly baked little thing, and then sent someone to the Yinguo Mansion.
I don't know how Huo Youchan will feel after receiving the gift given to her. Qin Nuo looks forward to seeing him next time.
