chapter 219

A small door that only allowed women and children to pass through was opened, and Jiang Wu and the two Rong lowered their heads and got in.After entering, the nose is immediately seized by various smells, such as agarwood, musk, benzoin, styrax, black ash, turmeric, as well as prepared Ersu Jiuju, goose pear tent middle incense and so on.

Out of the ruins, there is gold and jade in it.The floor is covered with Persian carpets, and the walls are covered with glass lamps unique to the West.This kind of glass lamp is very rare. In the previous life, Shen Fu once gave Jiang Wu a glass lamp. It was made in the form of a palace lantern, and Jiang Wu's sitting, lying and walking were painted on each side.The glass lamps in this shop are fixed on the wall, full of exotic features. The oval body has a circular arc tail, and the outer wall is like a wave of curly flowers.This incense shop is probably worth a hundred gold!Jiang Wu remembered that the last time she saw such a material texture was when Wang Miaoyan entertained the wives.Even a small incense shop in West Market can be compared with the Duke's Mansion.

Yue Rong was careful, and quietly called the little girl aside, "How did you know him?"

The man who opened the door was blind in one eye, so it was gray.He didn't look young, about forty, with wrinkles all over his face.

The little girl smiled sweetly, "He is my cousin from the countryside. The servants came to the capital to see my cousin, but I was deceived by the people from Xiaomanshan. After all these years, my cousin has been in the capital You came to find me, and you only found me after you entered the Duke's mansion. Don't look at him as scary, he is very nice."

As she said that, the little girl turned her head and asked, "Cousin, we want some agarwood. I heard from Sister Yuerong that the agarwood sold outside is not very good. You know this best, can you choose some for us?" OK."

The man looked at Jiang Wu expressionlessly, and his gaze made Jiang Wu uncomfortable. She was stared naked by this gaze, as if her clothes had been stripped off and she was completely naked.

He wasn't looking at adultery either, it was just that his eyes were too aggressive and indifferent.

"Agarwood is divided into origins, which one do you want?" The man turned around and took out several kinds, with the paper under his head, the ink was still wet, and the order was "Xiangzhou agar, Wanxiang, Xiangshanxiang...", even Jiang Wu and Fangrong and Yuerong who had served in the palace were stunned.

"Xiangzhou agar was used as a tribute, also known as Shilixiang. Wanxiang is also called Chenshuixiang, and the one that can sink to the bottom of the water is the top grade." The man placed one of the agarwoods in the still water beside him, and the agarwood gradually sank to the bottom of the water , it seems to be the best of the best.

"Not only agarwood, but we also need styrax and benzoin. We also need some borneol." Jiang Wu put down a heavy ingot of gold, "This is a deposit, you just send it to the Duke's mansion, and someone will give it to you, how much money."

I am afraid that such a good incense will never be found in the whole capital.

The man's hands and feet were quick, and he quickly put Chen Xiang on Jiang Wu.

The night was dim, and the three of them hurried to the Duke's Mansion with some of their belongings. Fortunately, they didn't meet any officers and soldiers along the way.

"It's back, it's done so quickly?" Sister Yunhua looked at Yuerong's things wrapped in a small handkerchief in shock.

The veil was opened, and inside was agarwood the size of a baby's fist, which would last half a year.Sister Yunhua quickly took out the tool for burning incense, and first scraped off a layer of powder from the top, and her expression immediately changed, "Master, this is not agarwood!"

"Look, the inside of the agarwood will never be this color. And this fragrance, like, seems to be floating on the surface." Sister Yunhua put a little powdered agarwood under Jiang Wu's nose. The idea powder smells and tastes wrong.

When I was in Xiangfang, there were all kinds of smells, and Jiang Wu's nose was not as sensitive as it is now.

After a while, she let out a long breath, "I was deceived, it's Baimu."

It is easy for peddlers to pretend to be normal agarwood with white wood mixed spices, or to wax the sub-certain agarwood to make it look perfect.

"Impossible! How could my cousin lie to me?" The little girl wanted to cry.

"It's really strange. He didn't get in touch with you a long time ago, and he didn't get in touch with you at night. Why did it happen after you entered the Duke's Mansion? Besides, if he was really good for you, he wouldn't teach you to go out late at night." Yue Rong It was immediately obvious that this little girl must have been taught by others to leave the house late at night, otherwise, according to this girl's character and ability, she would never be able to think of avoiding the patrolling officers and soldiers.

Sister Yunhua put away the fake agarwood, "The monk can't escape the temple if he can run away. Let's go find someone at dawn."

The deposit has already been two ingots of gold, so naturally this loss cannot be taken.

When the sky was bright and the night ban was lifted, Sister Yunhua put on her clothes and took the girl straight to the West Market.

In the early morning, the West Market was not yet lively, and the servants of the Changmo Academy were all focused on venting their anger for the little girl, and grabbed the buddy aggressively. "Who sold the fake incense yesterday? Come out to me! She is a little girl with no relatives, no reason, no support, and you can still think of pretending to be her cousin to deceive people, right?"

"Cheating? It's impossible!" Xiao Er categorically denied, "Our shop has been open for several years. Who in the capital doesn't know that our shop has the best incense. It was the first to close yesterday. Did you admit that it's another shop?"

"No, it's your place." The little girl's eyes were red, and until now she still refused to believe that she was cheated, sobbing: "His surname is Yang, only one super character."

"Brother Yang?" The guy's face was not very good-looking, and he quickly brought him in.

The incense shop in the daytime looks different from the nighttime one. The door is fully open, and the shop looks small, but deep.Walking inside, there are several rooms in total, and there are gradually faint sounds of beatings.Sister Yunhua stood still, looked at Jiang Wu and refused to enter.

"Hey, don't worry, we are not businessmen with black hearts. This is the first time to beat someone, and the store is very angry." The waiter opened the door forward, and inside was a bloody man who was hung upside down, with both hands inserted into his long hair. The thin needle, the man next to him was still angry, and kicked the man's head with his foot, "Bah! Damn bastard, he still wants to steal things out. You are born with a low life, then Chen Xiang, your dog's life is worthless." I can't change it back!"

Yang Chao had only one breath left, and another mouthful of blood came out from the shopkeeper's kick, facing Jiang Wu.With blood on her cheeks, she stared blankly at this scene.

"I made the honored guests laugh, and I just realized that this bastard is cheating and selling fake agarwood to you, and then this morning he wanted to run away with such a big piece of agarwood." The shopkeeper gestured at the agarwood, but It is as big as a small table.

He took the handkerchief and handed it to Jiang Wu, "Guest, there is blood on your face."

After Jiang Wu wiped off the blood on his face, the man beckoned the waiter to wrap the aloes.

"It will be delivered to the Duke's mansion later, the honored guest can rest assured."
