Chen Ahfu went to the meditation room, where a vegetarian meal was already set up. Liaochen and a few children sat at the table. She sat at the table and ate the vegetarian meal together.
After the meal, the children went to take a nap, and Chen Afu chatted with Abbot Liaochen. She heard that Liaochen's health had not been good and he often suffered from insomnia, so she took out a piece of swallow leaf agarwood and gave it to Liaochen.
When Liaochen heard that this was Yanye Agarwood, he was so surprised that his eyes widened. He was surprised and said, "Oh my God, is there really such a strange fragrance as Yanye Agarwood in the world?" Then he answered himself, "It was given by Master Wuzhi, it must be real."
She took the incense, smelled it, and then smelled it again with her eyes closed, enjoying it very much. She opened her eyes and said happily, "It is really beautiful, long-lasting, elegant and fragrant. It is so wonderful that I have never experienced it before."
Seeing her like this, Chen Ahfu was a little stunned. Swallow Leaf Agarwood, as the name suggests, contains the leaves of Swallow Agarwood. If he hadn't taken it out himself, the old monk wouldn't have been able to make this kind of incense. But after listening to Chen's words, it seemed that there should be Swallow Leaf Agarwood in this world, but it was very rare.
So he asked, "Abbot Liaochen, is this swallow leaf agarwood very rare?"
Liaochen smiled and said, "It's no wonder that you don't know how precious this kind of incense is. I also saw Yanye Agarwood in an ancient book, which said that to make this kind of incense, you must find a tree called Yanye Agarwood and use its leaves as incense. But this tree grows in deep mountains where few people go, and ordinary people can't find it at all. Before, I thought that this kind of incense didn't exist at all, because I had never heard of anyone making this kind of incense in this dynasty or the previous dynasty... Master Wuzhi is really an accomplished monk, so amazing that he actually found this kind of leaf and made this kind of wonderful incense." He took Chen Afu's hand and smiled, "Afu, you are valued by the master, and he actually gave you three sticks. You are really a blessed person."
It turns out that there is such a record in ancient books, and they also cleverly say that Yan Chenxiang grows in the deep mountains. In this way, this kind of incense will not be so feared by people.
Chen Ahfu smiled in mock surprise and said, "It turns out that Yanye Agarwood is so precious. Next time, I will definitely send more Halogen to Master Wuzhi to thank him for being so generous."
Liaochen laughed and said, "This kind of incense should be used sparingly. If it is wasted, it would be a waste of nature's gift. Ancient books say that it not only has a special and pleasant fragrance, but can also prevent and treat many diseases and is very durable. It can emit a faint fragrance even without being lit. It can be placed in the house to purify the air, or in the closet to fumigate clothes. After a month, the fragrance will slowly disappear, and then it must be lit to emit the fragrance. Therefore, only a small section should be broken off each time, which can be used for more than a month. The rest of the incense should be placed in a sealed copper container so that the fragrance is not easily dissipated..."
It turns out that it is so durable. Two sticks of incense can be used for several days.
Abbot Liaochen solemnly put the incense into a copper box and closed the lid. Then, she took Chen Afu's hand and started talking about family matters. Her attitude was gentle and her tone was soft. Chen Afu was pulled by her to sit on the kang, and he felt like he was being pulled by Wang, with a kind of motherly warmth in it.
Chen Afu was also moved, leaning beside her and telling her all kinds of interesting stories about Chu Hanyan, making her laugh. At this time, her smile reached her eyes, as if she was truly happy.
When the children woke up, everyone went home again. Chu Hanyan held onto Luchen's clothes with tears in her eyes and said, "Grandma and Sister, please go home. It's so uncomfortable to live alone in this big yard, just like Sister did before."
Liaochen's eyes also turned red, and he leaned down to say to her, "Grandma can't go home with me, because you are already a hermit and must live in the nunnery."
Chen Afu also persuaded Miss Chu for a few words, picked her up again, and they all got on the carriage together.
When the carriage had traveled for some distance and was about to turn down the mountain, Chen Afu lifted the curtain and saw Chen still standing in front of the nunnery looking at them.
In the huge mountain gate, there were only her and two little nuns' frail figures, making her seem even more lonely and helpless.
She had such powerful husband's family and her own family, but she ended up like this just because her husband was coveted by someone.
Chen Ahfu felt a little sad, and sighed heavily, hugging Dabao even tighter. I hope Master Wuzhi can really resolve Dabao's disaster.
Thinking of what Master Wuzhi said last time, he said that Dabao was a rare talent with a unique destiny, and asked him to stay at home, not to see people he shouldn't see, and not to leave his home within a hundred miles for two years...
Chen Ahfu had long felt that Dabao would not be born in an ordinary family. Now it seemed that he was not only extraordinary, but also very extraordinary. Moreover, there must be a deeper reason for him being thrown away than the shady secrets of the inner house.
If such a child were to encounter a bloody disaster, it would definitely be a life-or-death situation. Could a peasant girl like me, or the illegitimate daughter of the prefect, protect him from harm?
It's easy to deal with Jinbao outside, but I'm afraid something will happen to Jinbao during the winter...
Chen Afu was preoccupied with something and watched the children laughing and playing in silence.
When they arrived at the door of the house, everyone got off the carriage.
Zhuifeng, Wangcai, Qiqi and Huihui were standing at the gate waiting for them. The children ran over to play with them, and the place immediately became noisy and lively.
When Wang heard them coming back, she came out and said, "We're going to Luyuan for dinner tonight. We made mutton dumplings today." She smiled at Manager Luo and said, "I've also invited Sister Luo and a few others to come to my house to eat dumplings tonight."
Manager Luo smiled and nodded to express his gratitude.
Chen Afu took the children back to Fuyuan, washed up, and then went to Luyuan.
Chen Afu whispered to Wang about what she had asked the old monk about her uncle. The old monk meant that they could be reunited with their uncle, but they didn't know when.
Wang was so excited that her eyes were red. She clasped her hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, saying, "Thank you for the blessing of the Bodhisattva. If I could really see your uncle again, I would be able to close my eyes even in death."
In the evening, Chen Afu asked Xia Yue and Qiu Yue to play with the children, while she hurriedly made a beautiful thumb doll for Jin Yanzi.
At night, she entered the space again and took two mutton dumplings in. There was no gold treasure under the agarwood tree, and it didn't go out, so it must be sleeping in some golden house.
Chen Ahfu put the plate of dumplings and the thumb doll on the ground and began to pick up the jewelry. She thought that she would go to Dingzhou Prefecture in a few days, sell the jewelry, and then buy a larger shop to be the address of Fuyunlai Commercial Bank.
Apart from the jewels that Jinbao stole in this world, there were still an emerald, three pearls, three sapphires, and three pieces of jadeite and jade carved with flowers and birds.
Perhaps because they have been in the space for so long, these jewels have an excellent luster and are much more valuable than jewels of the same size and quality.
Chen Ahfu guessed that the pearl and sapphire together could be sold for at least 200 taels of silver. And this emerald was even better. The last emerald was sold for 320 taels of silver, so this one could be sold for at least 500 taels of silver.
