Jade Without Fragrance

Green bricks and green tiles, flowers bloom by the path, their fragrance staining clothes; vermilion gates and purple halls, delicate hands pluck stars, making neon into garments.

Chapter 239 Luck

Chapter 239 Luck

Two days after Kou Wan said this, Du Ying came to the Wuxiang Flower Dew Shop.

Unlike the last time when a person came quietly to buy the unique perfume, this time several noble ladies came together, surrounding Du Ying in the middle, like the moon surrounded by stars.

"It's a coincidence that I meet Miss Lin Er again." Du Ying spoke first, with a high-spirited look in her eyes and eyebrows.

Lin Hao smiled slightly: "It's my own shop, so I'm always here."

"I didn't expect Miss Lin Er to be interested in business." A noble lady suddenly interrupted.

It is normal for wealthy families to have industries, but if their children like to do business, people will feel that it is not decent.

Although the lady spoke with a smile, the meaning behind her words was not very friendly.

Lin Hao glanced at her and said casually, "That shouldn't be hard to guess. If I'm not interested, this is still Lin's Powder Shop."

The lady hesitated.

Is Miss Lin Er just throwing in the towel?

Even more unpleasant words came to her tongue, but she swallowed them silently.

No matter what, Lin Hao is the future princess consort of Prince Jing. She sarcastically said that she just needs to be nice to Miss Du and there is no need to offend her.

"Everyone, take a look. We have just released a new perfume. It has a fruity scent and a refreshing taste." Lin Hao introduced it with a smile, seemingly unaware of the subtle atmosphere.

She really didn't care about this kind of little girl's show of force. These noble ladies were proud of their status and would never throw a tantrum. At most, they would make sarcastic remarks, which had almost no harm to her.

When Du Ying heard that there was a new fragrant dew, anger flashed in her eyes.

She thought she could see Lin Er's regret this time, regretting not seizing the opportunity to make friends with her, but she didn't expect it to be a provocation.

She came to ask her to make new flower dew but was rejected, but she turned around and made new flower dew.

"The last time I came, Miss Lin Er said that developing flower dew required inspiration."

Lin Hao nodded: "The fragrance of fruits and vegetables in autumn just happened to bring inspiration to me."

Du Ying chuckled: "Miss Lin's inspiration is really illusory."

What inspiration? It was clearly a deliberate rejection of her.

Seeing Du Ying's displeasure, a noble lady chuckled softly, "Inspiration is like luck, both illusory. Some people lack luck and have to give up their good positions. Sister Du, don't you agree?"

Lin Hao's eyes turned cold.

It's okay to show off your power by running up to her, but it's not okay to make sarcastic remarks to her elder sister.

Du Ying's eyes fell on Lin Hao's face, and she curved her lips into a smile: "Who said it wasn't?"

If Miss Lin hadn't fallen seriously ill and called off the engagement, how could she have become the Crown Princess now?

In fact, ever since the crown prince was deposed, there has been a saying that Miss Lin is unlucky. Now that the King of Wei has become the crown prince and is choosing a crown princess, this saying has become even more popular.

As the Duke of England's family had produced a Crown Princess, although they didn't say it, they couldn't help but feel proud in their hearts.

Who doesn't want to be called lucky?

Lin Hao looked at Du Ying deeply and suddenly smiled: "It's true that luck is hard to predict. Otherwise, why is there the old saying that if you lose something in one place, you will gain something in another?"

Du Ying's smile faded: "What do you mean, Miss Lin Er?"

How dare she curse her!

"It means exactly what it says. Don't think too much about it, Miss Du. If you like any floral water, please ask the shop assistants to try it. Excuse me for a moment." After Lin Hao finished speaking, he walked slowly to the back.

Du Ying stared at the slender figure with a straight back, her lips tightly pursed.

"Don't be angry, Sister Du. Some people just feel jealous when they see others doing well."

"that is."

Amidst the comforting voices, Du Ying raised her fair chin slightly, looking nonchalant: "I don't need to be so angry. Qing'er, go tell the waiter that I want a bottle of each kind of floral dew."

Seeing that Du Ying bought the flower dew, everyone else also bought something.

After these people left, Chunni ran to the back and told Lin Hao what these noble ladies had said: "They also said that you were jealous. Bah, it's obviously them who are bored and looking for trouble."

The girls have a lot to do, such as developing perfume, expanding their business, and helping people in need. How can they have the time to feel jealous of them?

Seeing the little girl's pout, Lin Hao couldn't help but smile: "Did they buy flower dew?"

"I bought it. I bought at least one bottle."

"That'll do."

Lin Hao didn't show his emotions at Hualu Shop, but when he returned to the General's Mansion, he couldn't help but go to Lin Chan.

The sweet fragrance of osmanthus filled the air in Jiaoyueju, and Lin Chan was sitting under a osmanthus tree, embroidering intently.

"What are you embroidering, sister?" Lin Hao walked over.

Lin Chan picked up the fine cloth beside her and covered the embroidery frame: "I'm embroidering a pillowcase for my second sister. It's not finished yet."

"Let me see."

"No, wait until the embroidery is finished before you see it." Lin Chan smiled and pulled her sister, "Go sit inside."

"Just sit here. There's sunshine, but it's not too hot and it's bright and spacious."

So Lin Chan ordered the maid: "Go and bring a stool for the second young lady."

Lianxiang quickly brought over an embroidered cushion and said, "Second Miss, please sit down."

Lin Hao sat down next to Lin Chan and said softly, "Sister, don't do needlework all the time. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."

Lin Chan smiled softly: "I'll embroider for a while when the light is good. I've already moved the embroidery frame to the yard."

"Tomorrow, big sister and I will go to the flower dew shop to take a look."

Lin Chan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

It had been rumored for a while that Miss Lin was gradually improving, so if she was well now, it wouldn't arouse suspicion. Lin Hao felt sorry for her elder sister, who had been holed up in the small courtyard, and when she nodded, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

The two sisters did not speak for a while, and drank the chrysanthemum tea quietly. An autumn wind blew the osmanthus flowers down, quietly scenting their clothes.

"Second sister." Lin Chan's voice sounded softly.

Lin Hao looked up at his sister.

A bare hand reached out and straightened her hair that had fallen down mischievously. "Did you encounter something unhappy outside?"

Lin Hao immediately denied it: "No."

Lin Chan looked at her, her slightly brown pupils appearing gentle and calm. "If this is about me, Second Sister, don't be upset by those rumors. I'm fine."

"Big sister—"

Lin Chan put her arm around Lin Hao's shoulders and said, "Becoming a Crown Princess is certainly glorious, but it's not suitable for me. Second sister knows that."

"Yeah." Lin Hao nodded slightly and leaned on her sister.

She knew it, so she didn't say a word to her sister, she just felt a little distressed.

"Silly girl, I have my grandmother, mother, you and my elder brother. I won't be bad even if I don't get married."

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Cheng Shu jumped into the lake to save the deposed prince and was promoted again. Considering his age, he seemed to have a promising future. In addition, his character was reliable, so in the eyes of the world, he could indeed be regarded as a support for the Lin sisters.

"Second sister, let's study the plum blossom dew later. I like the plum fragrance the most."

"OK."

At this time, a dispute broke out in the Han family of Shangshu Mansion.

"You still want to marry Miss Lin?" Han's mother's face darkened after hearing her son's words. "No."

Han Baocheng blushed a little, but he didn't back down in the face of his mother's refusal: "Mother, Miss Lin is well again."

Mother Han was furious: "Is this because of her health?"
