Chapter 11 Sachet
"Are they the sisters from the Qiu family?" Feng Caixing was young, with a pair of bright eyes and a smile, and said hello crisply.
Changchun Marquis Mansion and Yongqing Bo Mansion had little contact. This was the first time that the Qiu sisters were invited to a banquet at Changchun Marquis Mansion. They thought they would be accommodated quietly, but Feng Caixing's enthusiasm surprised and delighted the sisters.
"This is Miss Qiu Er..." Someone familiar with both parties introduced her.
"Hey, Miss Qiu Liu isn't here?" Feng Caixing asked after they got to know each other one by one.
The second girl, Qiu Xuan, vaguely understood that the second girl Feng's enthusiasm turned out to be her curiosity about the sixth sister, and said politely: "The sixth sister came home after a long journey, and she was a little tired. My grandmother felt sorry for her and asked her to take good care of herself before going out. ”
"That's it." Feng Caixing's eyes flashed with disappointment, and his enthusiasm was gone. Of course, he was not rude and ordered someone to arrange for Qiu Xuan and the others.
Looking at Feng Caixing's leaving figure, Qiu Fu bit her lip: "What do you mean? If Qiu Heng doesn't come, we won't be counted as guests?"
Qiu Xuan knew that the fourth sister was spoiled and was afraid of losing her temper on such occasions, so she hurriedly comforted her: "It is thanks to Mrs. Changchun that the sixth sister was found. Miss Feng must have heard her mother mention it. It is human nature to be curious about the sixth sister." ”
"So we can come because we are taking advantage of Sixth Sister?" Qiu Fu felt even more unhappy.
Even though Qiu Xuan has a good temper, she wants to roll her eyes.
Mrs. Changchun Hou is the biological sister of the Princess of Kangjun, and she does not frequent the Yongqing Bofu. They were invited by the Feng sisters' post, if not because of the Sixth Sister, who else could it be because of?
I just don’t know if this curiosity is kind or malicious.
Qiu Xuan thought so because many noble ladies soon came over and couldn't help but ask Qiu Heng.
"What is Miss Qiuliu's name?"
"I heard that Miss Qiuliu was adopted and raised by a family of mountain people in the south. Are you used to living in the house?"
"Is Miss Qiuliu as good-looking as some of my sisters?"
……
These ladies had good tone of voice, but Qiu Xuan frowned secretly.
No matter how hard you try to hide it, you can't hide your contempt for the sixth sister. You have to know that if you respect a person, you won't open your mouth to ask this or that.
Qiu Xuan gradually fell silent, and it was Qiu Yun, the third girl, who answered.
Feng Caixing returned to her sister and whispered, "It's a pity that I didn't see Miss Qiu Liu."
Feng Caiyue glanced at her sister: "Stop your curiosity and don't let the girls of the Qiu family have any ideas in their minds."
Feng Caixing raised his chin in the direction of Qiu Xuan and the others: "Sister, don't talk about me, you are so curious."
He was found after being lost for ten years. He was found only after his mother met him by chance. How could he not be curious?
Feng Caiyue looked at the noisy scene and shook her head slightly, then walked over.
"So lively."
"Sister Feng." The ladies greeted Feng Caiyue.
Feng Caiyue nodded in response and met Qiu Xuan sisters one by one: "There are a lot of sisters here today, so we didn't greet them well."
"Miss Feng is too polite." Qiu Xuan greeted her.
A noble lady asked: "Didn't the Lord of Jiayi County come today?"
The head of Jiayi County is the daughter of Prince Kang and the cousin of Feng Caiyue.
Feng Caixing pursed her lips and smiled: "My cousin is at a critical moment in researching Yixiang and has no time to go out."
The Lord of Jiayi County is obsessed with incense and is also famous in the circle.
This kind of obsession would not be criticized, but would be considered a good thing.
In the garden where the banquet was held, various incense burners were placed on high tables in every corner, emitting a lingering aroma.
When it comes to incense, Feng Caiyue sniffed it gently and took Qiu Xuan's hand: "Where did the incense come from that is so elegant and quiet? It turned out to be brought by Miss Qiu Er. What kind of incense did Miss Qiu Er use?" Qiu Xuan What he is wearing is the sachet given by Qiu Heng.
She was curious about the special fragrance, but she didn't expect that Miss Feng would notice it.
This seems to be an opportunity to make a name for the sixth sister.
Qiu Xuan's heart moved slightly, and she took off the sachet and showed it to the girls: "Today I only wear the sachet given by my sixth sister."
Feng Caiyue looked surprised: "Miss Qiu Liu did it?"
"Well, Sixth Sister's adoptive parents make a living by picking incense."
"Can you smell it carefully for me?"
Qiu Xuan handed the sachet to Feng Caiyue without hesitation.
Feng Caiyue reached out and took it, not caring about the rough fabric of the sachet, and brought it to her nose to sniff it.
After a while, she handed back the sachet and said sincerely: "This fragrance is blended very well. Miss Qiu Liu has extraordinary attainments in the fragrance industry."
"No way. It's not difficult for ordinary people to prepare incense ingredients. Can you be a master in making and blending incense?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The girls were in disbelief.
It’s not that they look down on others, incense masters need to be familiar with the characteristics of various spices and constantly try to improve their fragrance-making skills. And many spices are expensive, so ordinary people can't use them to practice.
"After all, there is heaven outside the world, and there are people outside the world." Feng Caiyue, as the master, stopped the question and came up with an idea.
If Miss Qiu Liu really has such attainments, she may be able to help her cousin solve the problems she encounters, saving her from being so crazy about the fragrance that she doesn't even leave the house.
"Hey, the fragrance of Miss Qiu Wu is also delicious, just like Miss Qiu Er." Feng Caixing said suddenly.
Qiu Ying suddenly blushed and hesitated: "I also wore the sachet given by my sixth sister." But she quietly lowered her hand and blocked the sachet hanging on her waist with her sleeves.
On the way back home, Qiu Fu, who was full of anger, sneered: "The fifth sister wants to wear the sachet given by the sixth sister. She is as upright as the second sister. Why did she change the skin of the sachet?"
I saw that the sachet deliberately covered by Qiu Ying at the flower banquet was made of fine silk, a material commonly used by noble ladies.
Qiu Ying was embarrassed and couldn't help but said: "The sachet given by the sixth sister really smells good."
She couldn't bear the unique fragrance, and felt that wearing the sachet would make people uncomfortable, so she changed it to a sachet.
Originally this was nothing, but in front of everyone, compared with the second sister who calmly wore the sachet given by the sixth sister, her behavior seemed ugly.
"A sachet is worth so much effort. Have you never seen anything good?"
Qiu Yun listened to the fourth sister's squeeze on the fifth sister, and silently moved away from Qiu Fu.
In fact, she also wore the sachet given by her sixth sister, but she was afraid that her fourth sister would see it and be unhappy, so she placed it close to her body in the innermost part, so that the fragrance was not obvious.
Qiu Xuan, who had always been gentle, lowered her tone: "Sixth Sister's sachet was praised even by the eldest girl in the Changchun Marquis Mansion, so why isn't it a good thing? People outside heard that Sixth Sister came from the countryside and were waiting to see what was strange. Fourth sister is not happy that sixth sister is capable. Do you want those people to see the joke in our house? "
Qiu Fu's words made her angry, but she couldn't argue with her.
"Where are you going, second sister?" Qiu Ying asked when she saw Qiu Xuan turning around and walking in the other direction.
"Go to Lengxiangju and say thank you to Sixth Sister."
Qiu Ying hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth: "Third sister, fourth sister, I haven't been to Lengxiangju yet, so I just want to go with my second sister."
Seeing the two of them leaving, Qiu Yun looked at Qiu Fu.
Qiu Fu covered her face with frost, rolled up her sleeves and left, heading in the direction of Lengxiangju.
Ah Heng did not appear, but it was an important foreshadowing.
