Chapter 1741 Incense
Xining has a lot of doubts about the Lord God: "Do all Lord Gods do tasks like me?"
Yichen thought for a while and then replied: "That's not necessarily true, but there are relatively few people who work hard on their own."
"Can the system remind me?" He glared at the dark system around him bitterly. With so many tasks, the number of reminders could only be counted on one hand.
"The more reminders the system gives, the fewer points you will get." Yi Chen took her hand and walked to a place: "It's very nice inside. Come and sit with me for a while."
Looking up, there is a plaque hanging above an antique building that reads "Pinxiang Pavilion". The shops here follow the customs of the ancient Han Dynasty. The storefronts may be simple and easy to understand, or elegant and refined, but generally you can tell what they sell at a glance. Naturally, this building is either a teahouse or a fragrance path.
But at present, her body is unable to eat or drink anything, so this building should not be for tea tasting, but for real fragrance tasting. The rich aroma emanating from it also confirmed the suspicion.
The price of tasting incense here must not be cheap, but it was not her turn to refuse, Yi Chen had already dragged her in.
There are no male waiters here, and all the maids who look exactly the same, with snake-like faces and melon-seed faces, stand on both sides behind the door. Wearing a Wei-Jin style gauze skirt that exposes her shoulders, her long black hair is tied up, but there are always strands here and there hanging down randomly, making her look different and enchanting.
The leading maid came over, put her hands on her belly and saluted: "Master Yun." The maids at the back all stepped forward, as if they were queuing up, waiting for new guests to arrive.
"Same as usual." Yi Chen's words showed that he was a regular customer.
"Yes, please~" The maid, with her hair tied into a bun on the right side of her head and a strand of long hair hanging on the left side, showed a humble posture very much like that of a woman from the Great Chrysanthemum Dynasty. She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, turning sideways to make a greeting gesture, leading the way. .
It is in a square shape, with a waterside courtyard building with a lotus pond in the middle. There are nine small private rooms in each direction, and there should be 27 private rooms in a circle, all with bamboo curtains. The curtain can be opened or lowered. If there is no one in the private room, the curtain must be open. Some of them have private rooms for guests, but the curtains are open, so you can see what's going on inside.
In each private room, there are sofa-like soft chairs, some soft, elegant and antique-style decoration, and good-smelling incense. It is a good place to relax and have a rest.
In most private rooms that can be seen, guests sit and lie down normally, chatting and resting. When passing by, they would stop involuntarily and look over with some curiosity.
I know what they are curious about, how could a short and weak person be tied up with a great god like Yi Chen. But Xi Ning's face has long been thickened, so just watch it if you like, it doesn't matter.
After walking past a room, there was a private room in which a man had his arms around two women, having sex together. Judging from the confused expressions of the disheveled three people, the incense burned in this room was probably not a serious one. .
Even after so much, Xining couldn't help but take another look. This is too open. Can you restrain it?
But Zhou Rui looked at Yichen and saw that the corners of Yichen's mouth were slightly pursed, with a bit of a smile.
The private room we entered was very nice, and we could just see a blooming lotus in the courtyard. The lotus was as big as a pot, and there were some dewdrops on the petals. It was like the best photography, very beautiful.
Yi Chen pulled her to sit on a soft chair like a sofa. The other maids who came in from outside carried plates, walked to both sides, knelt on the straw mats on the floor, and placed two cups of tea on the mahogany coffee table in front of them. There are also four plates of dried fruit preserves.
Yichen said to Zhou Rui: "Take Mo Ming to have a rest."
Zhou Rui, who was standing at the door, looked at Mo Ming, and Mo Ming followed Zhou Rui and left.
She was startled and a little panicked.
Yi Chen saw this in his eyes and smiled: "After all, it is your system. Do you feel flustered after leaving? They are right next door. They will come over if you call." Her ears felt a little hot after seeing through her thoughts. .
Another maid came in, knelt down and sat aside, opened the incense burner, poured the powder into it, and then used a clip to take out the burning charcoal from the charcoal box that came with it and put it in.
The two maids who had placed the refreshments stood up, slowly lowered the bamboo curtain in front, and turned the small stick on the side to adjust the gap in the middle to cover the private room. The private room became a little dark like evening.
When the carbon touches the powder, it immediately and slowly ignites the incense ash and powder together. After closing the lid of the incense burner, the green smoke inside rises with fragrance.
The incense here also uses the ancient method. Just a pinch of incense is often made from a truck of flower petals or wood. All you order is money!
She sniffed: "It smells like sandalwood, very good."
"Sandalwood can calm the mind and soothe the mind. The sandalwood here is mellow and not pungent. Compared with other incense, I prefer this fragrance. It is also good for you." The dust-suppressing sound is more soothing and reassuring than sandalwood.
The maids finished their work and then left silently.
Although this private room seems to be very closed, there are only a few bamboo curtains separating it from the walkway outside. Needless to say, Yichen chose the place to give her peace of mind.
I soon discovered that the aroma here was just like the food and wine in the restaurant, and it also had spiritual energy. Whenever you inhale it, your body seems to feel relaxed and your energy is slowly being replenished.
If possible, I would like to rush forward, hold the incense burner and suck hard. But she still wanted to lose face. She really couldn't do such a scandal.
Yi Chen was sitting next to her, still holding her hand, leaning back and closing his eyes. In the dim environment, the outline of a handsome face became blurred and softer.
I couldn't bear to take my hand out and just let him hold it gently. Xi Ning couldn't help but sigh secretly, how could she have such an affair just because she was Mo Ming's main god?
A maid gently opened the bamboo curtain and walked in. Seeing Yichen leaning back with her eyes closed, she hesitated for a moment and said in a gentle voice: "Master Yun, someone wants to see you,"
Yichen didn't open his eyes, still leaning on him: "Who?"
"As the guest has asked, please let Mr. Yun know after he leaves." The maid lowered her head: "We are an old friend."
"When will I have an old friend?" Yi Chen seemed a little dissatisfied: "Zhou Rui will go and see first."
A voice came from Zhou Rui next door: "I've gone to see you. I didn't dare to disturb you just now. I'd better ask the master to go there once."
It seemed that he was really an important person, so Yi Chen opened his eyes and had to let go of her hand. After standing up, he took the pillow next to him and placed it on the end of the soft chair: "You can lie down. , close your eyes and take a good rest, I’ll come as soon as I can.”
Xining nodded and watched Yichen walk to the bamboo curtain. The maid held up the bamboo curtain in a charming manner, so that Yichen could walk out without having to lower his head.
Yi Chen is very tall, so a maid who is about the same height as her needs to raise her arms to lift the bamboo curtain to a suitable height. The wide tulle fell down, revealing pink lotus-like arms, but Yi Chen walked out without even looking at them.
