Chapter 253: Wen Ruyue falls into a trap
"Ruyue knows that mother loves Ruyue the most." Wen Ruyue snuggled into Jiang Xinkui's arms and acted coquettishly, but there was a flash of annoyance and calculation in her eyes.
Wen Ruyue was also very worried about this incense.
Not only did he try to make perfume himself, he also found a famous perfumer in the city to develop it together.
The final incense is still slightly different from the one you bought.
Wen Ruyue was very dissatisfied.
But she sent people out to look for the sister who sold spices, but there was no news.
Concubine Lan in the palace was urging her to do something, so she had no choice but to pick out the closest fragrance and send it to the palace.
There was no need to light it. Concubine Lan just opened the box and smelled it, and found that the smell was wrong.
She immediately became furious and sent the senior palace maid to scold Wen Ruyue in person, and gave her a deadline to hand over the same spices, otherwise she would be rude to her.
When Wen Ruyue was at her wit's end, she suddenly remembered her previous life. Wen Yan's incense-making skills were well-known far and wide, and he even opened a spice shop that made a fortune every day.
Several types of fragrance were loved by the nobles in the palace, and one of them was particularly favored by Concubine Lan.
She smelled 90% similar to Xilanxiang.
This is also the reason why she bought this fragrance without hesitation on the street that day.
Now that Wen Yan refuses to make the perfume, how should he explain this to Concubine Lan?
If I had known this earlier, I should have bought the recipe that day.
It’s all my fault for being too careless, thinking that Concubine Lan might not like it.
But the result is...
Now I'm afraid that instead of trying to please her, I might even annoy Concubine Lan.
Not only will it cause trouble for the Huo family, it will probably also implicate the Wen family.
Wen Ruyue became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it, and she smelled a fishy stench in her nose.
After wiping it with a handkerchief, Wen Ruyue felt dizzy: "Blood..."
She was so anxious that her nose bled.
no.
She insisted on asking Wen Yan to mix the spices.
Since she refused to accept the toast, don't blame her for using force.
**
Wen Yan stayed at home for three days, and Ying Zhilin completely let himself go and became very clingy to her.
Before going out, I must talk to her for a while before leaving.
When he came home from school, he would always bring her a bunch of wild flowers and fruits.
After dinner, he would go out to enjoy the cool air with Wen Yan.
Let Wen Yan check his injuries and apply ointment.
In short.
As long as he is at home, as soon as Wen Yan is free, he will definitely come over to make his presence felt.
Even if Wen Yan was busy, he would sit next to her and read quietly.
Wen Yan bought twenty pieces of calligraphy and paintings from the students of the academy through him.
Wutong Academy only considers a person's character and knowledge, regardless of his or her family background or wealth.
Therefore, there are many poor students in the academy.
Wen Yan's price was fair, so they were happy to sell the painting to him.
That night, Ying Zhilin brought back twenty-two paintings.
The other two paintings were secretly mixed into Ying Zhilin's own works.
Wen Yan looked at them one by one and was very satisfied with them all.
You should know that what Lin Yan selected couldn’t possibly be inferior!
Ying Zhilin puffed out his chest proudly and said, "My wife praised me!"
Brother Chen Qi on the side: "..."
Ying Zhilin was so disgusting that it was unbearable to look at him.
After Wen Yan got the painting, he would return to the capital to inspect the renovation results of the new shop.
As usual, we set off in the morning.
early morning.
Ying Zhilin silently helped Wen Yan move the luggage onto the carriage. He lowered his eyebrows, pressed his beautiful lips into a straight line, and glanced at Wen Yan accusingly from time to time.
When putting down the last piece of luggage, Wen Yan grabbed his sleeve and said, "I will definitely come back to accompany you before the Autumn Examination."
After attending the lotus viewing banquet of Concubine Gong, I can rush back to prepare for the autumn examination of Ying Zhilin.
A smile finally appeared on Ying Zhilin's face.
Wen Yan gave Xiao Hai, Brother Chen Qi and Uncle Kang some instructions, and then Pei'er set off in the carriage.
On the way, she passed by a carriage going to Jiangxinkui.
Jiang Xinkui came back empty-handed in Songshan Village.
Jiang Xinkui didn't believe it and thought Wen Yan was deliberately avoiding her, so she insisted on sending people to search the house.
I didn’t find anyone, so I have to wait here for Wen Yan.
Until Brother Chen Qi appeared in front of Jiang Xinkui with a cane.
In the past, when Wen Yan went to the Meng family to play, it was usually Brother Chen Qi who escorted her home.
Therefore, Jiang Xinkui knew Brother Chen Qi and also knew the relationship between Brother Chen Qi and the Meng family.
Jiang Xinkui didn't dare to act rashly in front of Brother Chen Qi, so he had to return to the capital in disgrace.
After Wen Ruyue learned that she hadn't even met Wen Yan, she comforted Jiang Xinkui with her mouth, but in her heart she scolded her for being as stupid as a pig and not being able to control a village woman.
Now it seems that I can only take action myself.
Wen Ruyue was very anxious.
She had no patience, so she appealed to Wen Yan's emotions and reasoned with her.
Wen Yan is a tough nut to crack. Unless her back is broken, she won't obey you.
Wen Ruyue sent people out to look for Wen Yan's whereabouts, and soon learned that she lived in "Yidianmo".
Wen Ruyue immediately went to find Huo Yaoxing and asked him for a few guards with high martial arts skills to help at the critical moment.
certainly.
Wen Ruyue would not sit idly by and pin all her hopes on spices.
She has been trying hard to remember her past life recently.
She vaguely remembered that not long after the Autumn Examination, there was Concubine Lan's birthday banquet.
At the birthday banquet, the family of a fifth-rank official presented a pot of orchid called "Suguan Heding".
Concubine Lan couldn't let go of the 'Suguan Lotus Ding' pot.
The fifth-rank official also had a successful career.
The prince will win the first place in the autumn examination.
He then presented the 'Suguan Lotus Ding' as a gift.
Concubine Lan was very pleased. Not only would she not pursue the matter of spices, she would also promote the Crown Prince.
So, Wen Ruyue gave another order.
While searching for spices, go to major flower markets and flower gardens to look for 'Suguan Heding'.
Wen Ruyue had no idea that she had already stepped into the trap set by Wen Yan.
**
Wen Yan's inspection of the new shop went quite smoothly. There were only two things that needed to be modified, and he was very satisfied with the rest.
Then, other arrangements and decorations were made.
Screens, gauze curtains, hanging paintings, and vases.
Every table, chair and bench is exquisitely crafted.
Of course, there is no time to order these large pieces of furniture.
Fortunately, her stepmother, Mrs. Bai, solved this problem for her.
Mrs. Bai has many vacant houses.
There are a lot of ready-made furniture in each house.
Wen Yan went from house to house and found quite a few treasures.
There is even a set of rosewood tables, chairs, couches and beds.
Wen Yan immediately sent it to the General's Mansion: "This set of rosewood furniture is very valuable. Put it in my stepmother's storehouse and give it to Sister Chi Fei as a dowry in the future."
Mrs. Bai disagreed and sent the items back to the shop: "Since we are making money from those officials' wives, we should also be able to take out the furniture."
She had a house paved with many fake jade bricks made of old clay, with very exquisite patterns.
She also asked a craftsman to pry it off and send it to Wen Yan.
Wen Yan looked at the fake jade brick, feeling both amused and helpless.
It was also because she interacted with people from the general's mansion all day long.
Wen Ruyue's people never found an opportunity to take action.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was the day before Concubine Gong's lotus viewing banquet.
Both the Jinping Marquisate and the Wen family received invitations.
The invitation from Marquis Jinping specifically stated that the Crown Prince's wife was invited to attend as well.
Although the Wen family is a fourth-rank official, they are not always invited to such royal banquets.
What's more, this lotus viewing banquet was hosted by Concubine Gong herself.
Jiang Xinkui was overjoyed, but Wen Fu felt uneasy, with a faint sense of foreboding lingering in his heart.
Jiang Xinkui glared at him coquettishly: "Look at your character. You must have invited us for Ruyue's sake."
