Chapter 401 Yin? Want to go too?
They were also paraded through the streets, and Su Xiucai's entire family was despised by everyone. The man he was engaged to was heartbroken and prepared to leave Liuhe Town with his entire family.
Wen Yao and Yinzhen looked at each other after leaving Liuhe Town. Leaving Liuhe Town might not be a bad thing for Yue'er's family. After all, no one can guarantee whether the Lin family will settle the score later.
Yinzhen and Wen Yao and their entourage stayed in a county town for a day or two, walked northeast from the capital and then made a circle back to the capital. They did not go too far, and it took less than half a month in total, until they returned to the palace on the night before August 15th.
That night, Yinzhen wrote down in detail what he had heard and seen along the way in a memorial. It was not written that night, but was just the final compilation that night, and was presented to Kangxi at the morning court the next day.
On the morning of the 15th, Wen Yao went to the Yikun Palace to pay respects. Concubine Yi naturally would not make it difficult for her. Wen Yao prepared a lot of gifts for her. "Gifts for other palaces have also been sent. This is a special gift for mother. Each one is marked with a story encountered in that place. There are food, toys, and some clothes and daily necessities."
"You have plenty of time, so you should be near the capital. However, many of the things you brought here are things I have never seen before. Is this the small wooden sculpture? But it's not carved." Concubine Yi picked up a small piece of wood that was as high as her index finger and as thick as two thumbs.
"That is scented wood. I found it in a town. Various fragrances are extracted into liquids. If you drop them on this wood, it will slowly emit. In fact, most of the time, it is extracted to make mosquito repellent. It is used to repel mosquitoes in summer. I thought my mother could use it." Wen Yao looked at the Fifth Lady on the side. "Fifth sister-in-law, the things for Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law will be delivered to the mansion. There are a lot of things, and it is not convenient for Fifth Sister-in-law to carry them. There is a big box of this scented wood, and the formula for mosquito repellent has also been sent over. Fifth Sister-in-law can have someone prepare it, and it won't be too pungent, but there are a lot of herbs in it, so I have to let the doctor in the mansion take a look."
"Ninth sister-in-law is very thoughtful and has thought of everything for us. Fifth sister-in-law would like to thank ninth sister-in-law here. The aromatherapy wood and mosquito repellent are really useful," Fifth Lady said with a smile. What she said was not wrong. After all, there are many mosquitoes in the summer. You can sleep in a mosquito net, but it is very stuffy with the mosquito net down. If you don't put it down, you will be bitten by mosquitoes.
"Actually, I have a mosquito coil in my shop, but it has a strong smell. It is best to light it before going to bed and extinguish it two quarters to half an hour before going to bed, and there will be fewer mosquitoes in the room," Wen Yao did not hide her secrets and continued to promote her own mosquito coils. The sales of mosquito coils are not very ideal because they have a strong smell. This is not because of the price issue, because ordinary people do not need them and will not waste the money. Occasionally, they will only buy them for their children, and one set can be used for a long time.
Rich people dislike the smell being too strong. They can smell it even when they sleep. If they open the windows for ventilation, it will have little effect.
It has attracted a group of old men who like to put mosquito coils under their feet and enjoy the cool in the evening.
"Mosquito-repellent incense? I remember that the Fifth Master brought some back to the mansion." The Fifth Lady just realized that it could be used in this way. "Mother, Ninth Sister-in-law, you don't know that the Fifth Master and I lit them before going to bed at night, thinking that they were the same as incense. We even lit them all the time during those few days."
"Pfft!" Wen Yao and Concubine Yi laughed out loud at the same time.
Concubine Yi was a little helpless, "Didn't Lao Wu tell you that this was mosquito coil?"
"He said this is incense that can repel mosquitoes. My ninth brother gave it to me, so I thought it was incense, so I just lit it up." The Fifth Lady was also helpless. At this moment, she wanted to laugh at herself, and she did laugh out loud. "If I had asked my ninth brother's wife at that time, it would have been great. I..."
"Fifth sister-in-law, if you have any questions in the future, just ask me directly. Hahahaha... Sorry, I still want to laugh. But many times some people use it this way. Our store will tell the buyers how to use it," Wen Yao laughed out loud, her teeth showing but her eyes not hers. "Fifth sister-in-law, are you afraid that Master Jiu and I will be angry?"
Concubine Yi didn't say anything. She put down the scented wood, picked up the water cup and took a sip, and didn't speak at this time.
Wen Yao is very direct in front of familiar people, while Ruo Xiang is polite to everyone.
There's nothing wrong with either, but if Xiang does this, it will be difficult to distinguish the closeness of the relationship.
The Fifth Lady's face was stiff for a moment. She didn't expect the Ninth Brother's Wife to be so direct. She accepted it after a moment. "I think it's not good to ask like this. If it's used like this, then the Ninth Brother's Wife kindly gave it to the Fifth Master and me. We are not used to it, so we have to ask in person."
"It's nothing. If we don't tell the truth, our relationship will become distant. Fifth sister-in-law can ask me if she has any questions, and Fifth brother can talk to Ninth Master directly," Wen Yao looked at Fifth Lady, "When you go back, bring some mosquito coils with you. I don't have many other types here. This kind of incense and insect repellent incense are all used in this way, but sometimes you have to be careful."
"Okay, I'll go to your shop when I get back and ask for details, then let the court doctor take a look," the Fifth Lady replied with a smile. She had felt embarrassed before but it was okay to say it out loud. She just always thinks too much before things happen.
Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Seeing you two makes me feel younger. You two are the closest to me. If you have anything to say, just tell me. If there is something you can't solve in the mansion, just tell me. I am still here and can support you. If Yinqi and Yinzhen bully you, I will seek justice for you."
"Yes, mother!"
"Yes, Mother."
Wen Yao went back after staying for a short while. She still had a lot of things to do, so it was not until noon that Wen Yao had time to rest. Yinzhen and Yinzhen also returned to the palace, and the princes took a half-day break.
Yin? was full of complaints, "Humph! These things are not enough to make me sad. Ninth brother and sister-in-law, I want to go out and play too. You have to give me a route. I want to go out after the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Yin? refused to do it. Although he did not go out with his ninth brother, he could follow his ninth brother's route!
That's equivalent to going there with Brother Jiu!
"Go, go! I'll sort it out for you later, and you can bring more guards with you then," Yinzhen did not stop him. After all, it was so relaxing to go out for fun without a purpose, and he even liked it!
Yinzhen was very satisfied. He ate fried fish and listened to their stories. When Yinzhen and Wenyao talked about the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Yinzhen thought of Sanguanbao. "Ninth brother and sister-in-law, you may not know that Sanguanbao has found a courtyard house outside the capital and moved in. There is no mistress in the house now, but it is very messy."
"It's a mess?" Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen, "He has become a commoner, but those concubines are still around?"
"If you stay, you can't be left without any money. Ninth brother and sister-in-law, do you know how Yu is doing now?" Yin? said with a sly look on his face.
