Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 10 Wild Plum Fragrance

The next day, Su Qiang came to see Qin Xiang in a carriage. Su Xiaomiao did not get out of the carriage. Only Su Qiang went in and greeted Su.

Mrs. Su was still frightened when she thought about what happened last time, but she really couldn't help her daughter. She only said that she wanted to go with her, but Qin Xiang said that she had nothing to do and she didn't even want to take Lian'er with her.

Su was really busy preparing things for the wedding, so she sent Qin Xiang into the carriage anxiously, and repeatedly told Su Qiang to take good care of Qin Xiang.

Today, Su Qiang was very polite to his little aunt, nodding repeatedly to promise that he would send his cousin back safely.

When Su Xiaomiao got into the car and sat opposite her, Su Xiaomiao looked away uncomfortably.

"Cousin, I've been sick for so long, why have you never come to see me?" Qin Xiang tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"I" Su Xiaomiao didn't know how to defend herself as soon as I said it.

"Why did my cousin disappear after I fell that day?" Qin Xiang continued to ask innocently.

"Ahem, you went to the wishing fountain that day. I happened to meet my friend and chatted for a while. She happened to ask me to accompany her to burn incense sticks. When I came out, you were gone. Later, I heard that there was a girl After it fell, I realized it was you. No, I was frightened and sick when I got back, and my bones are just fine."

Su Xiaomiao made it more and more smoothly, and after saying it, she felt that this was what happened.

Qin Xiang nodded gently and said softly: "That's it, cousin, don't blame yourself. The railing was a little slippery that day, and I couldn't hold it firmly, so I was squeezed in by the person behind me."

"Oh, I thought my cousin must be a reasonable person after reading so many books. Now it seems that my cousin is indeed a reasonable person."

Qin Xiang covered her lips and smiled softly. As her eyes moved, she already looked like a stunning beauty.

Su Xiaomiao was stunned for a moment and thought to herself: I am attracted to this girl, no wonder Young Master Xiao Hanyang is so seduced by her that he loses his soul.Fortunately, she never went out on weekdays, so no one found out that there was such a beautiful girl in Fushui Town.

Today's Qin Xiang has specially dressed up. She has the experience of her previous life, so it is easy to dress herself up.She put on mountain daisy, lightly swiped makeup, and had a light and fresh fragrance on her body, which was especially noticeable in the carriage.

Su Xiaomiao had already relaxed her vigilance and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of fragrance does my cousin have? It smells really good."

"That's what you mean!" Qin Xi took off the incense stick from her waist and handed it over.

"What is this? Oops, it can still rotate inside." Although Su Xiaomiao lives in the town, she doesn't have much experience. She looked at the hollow metal ball and there was something in the shape of an empty bowl, and as she moved her hand, it Follow the movement, always keeping the mouth of the bowl flat and upward.

"This is called an incense stick, and it has the same effect as a sachet. The only difference is that you can burn incense, or put incense pills and tablets into it to make the breath emit a natural fragrance."

"Cousin, you're welcome. Whatever you take out are good things." Su Xiaomiao couldn't put it down as she played with the incense sticks, so she asked Qin Xiang to give them to her.

"My father gave this to me. I can't give it away, but I still have a porcelain one at home. If my cousin likes it, she can come over to play at home tomorrow and I will find it and give it to you."

"Really, thank you very much, cousin." At this point, Su Xiaomiao reluctantly returned the incense stick.

The town is not big, and within a few words, the carriage stopped outside Xuanmiao Temple. Su Qiang raised the curtain and shouted to the people inside: "Cousin, come down, we are already here."

Su Xiaomiao was the first to jump down and muttered dissatisfiedly to her cousin: "Why do you know how to call me cousin? Your sister is still in there!"

Su Qiang had no patience with Su Xiaomiao and rolled his eyes at her. He turned around and looked at Qin Xiang who was slowly coming out with a smile. He seemed to want to reach out to help her, but Qin Xiang avoided her.Today, the market is still open outside Sanqing Hall, so it is still very lively, but Qin Xiang has not seen Xiao Chenyu, and Xiao Chenyu's stall has not been opened.

Su Xiaomiao was already very affectionate towards Qin Xiang. She took her arm and walked towards Sanqing Hall. Su Qiang followed behind and couldn't take his eyes away from Qin Xiang's curling figure.

Su Qiang was pretty good-looking, and he was the shopkeeper of a teahouse at a young age. Many women were making secret glances at him, and he was naturally proud of it. However, this was the first time he saw a woman like Qin Xiang, and he couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart.

I was even more happy to think that I could get closer to my cousins ​​through their relationship.

Thinking of the unkempt daughter-in-law at home in the countryside, who only knows how to cook, take care of the children, and serve her parents-in-law, how can she have any fun at all?

The three of them burned incense one after another, knelt down and knelt down, and then stood up and came out. Qin Xiang stopped a Taoist priest and asked, "Excuse me, Taoist priest, why didn't the painting seller set up a stall today?"

The only person selling paintings here is Xiao Chenyu, and he lives in Xuanmiao Temple. When asked, the Taoist Master already knew and said with a smile: "He probably hasn't set up a stall these days."

"Why doesn't he set up a stall?" Su Xiaomiao asked abruptly and rudely across Qin Xiang.

The Taoist Master glanced at her, saluted Qin Xiang again, and said, "I say goodbye, poor Taoist!"

Su Xiaomiao wanted to ask more, but Su Qiang scolded her: "Second sister, what do you do if I don't set up a stall?"

Qin Xiang frowned and thought about it. Xiao Chenyu once said that he would be very busy in the past few days and would not be able to visit her. It seemed that he was so busy that he didn't even set up a stall.

After leaving Sanqing Hall, Qin Xiang pointed to the wishing pool and said to Su Xiaomiao: "Cousin, let's go over and fulfill our wish."

Then, he shyly said in Su Xiaomiao's ear: "I made a wish here that day to find the right man, and now it has come true. Do you want to give it a try, cousin?"

Su Xiaomiao, who was originally a little resistant to the wishing pool, listened to Qin Xiang's words for no reason and followed it.

Su Qiang frowned slightly and unconsciously walked closer to the two of them. If one of them fell again, he would not be able to deal with it. Although, if his cousin fell again, he would definitely be willing to go down and pick her up.

Qin Qian had noticed Su Qiang's nervous look and sneered in her heart. Could it be possible that she would push Su Xiaomiao down?

Su Xiaomiao was actually secretly on guard. Nothing happened until she left the wishing pool, and then she relaxed completely. After chatting for a while, Qin Xiang went home, and Su Xiaomiao made an appointment with her to come and play with her tomorrow. Then he happily followed Su Qiang back.

Qin Xiang now spends time in the backyard making incense. After making many incense, it needs to be stored in the cellar and dried in the shade before use. This requires enough time, and it is best not to exchange the things in the cellar for money now.

What she made today was wild plum incense, four liang of real incense, one hip of wax tea, grind the tea into powder, and boil it with a bowl of well flower water and incense that she got up early.

Mrs. Su was sitting aside making clothes, watching her daughter fanning the fire in the yard for a while, and then checking to see if the water was dry. She couldn't help but ask: "Axi, why haven't I seen you playing the piano since you recovered from your illness?" "

Qin Xiang paused for a moment, and then used long chopsticks to poke around the contents of the earthen jar. When she saw that it was dry, she took the earthen jar and poured it into the wooden plate on the desk. She lowered her head and carefully sifted out the wax tea, and ground the true fragrance into Finely grind it, take out the borneol and mix it evenly, then mix it with white honey and knead it into balls the size of a chicken head.

When Su thought her daughter would not answer, Qin Xi turned around and said, "Mom, I don't want to play the piano anymore."

Su wanted to ask why he didn't play?But the moment her daughter looked back, the sadness in her eyes stung Su. She didn't understand where her daughter's sadness came from, but she was already distressed. After a long time, Su managed to smile and said: "That thing shouldn't be eaten or drunk, no. If you don’t play it, don’t play it!”
