Chapter 78

Not to mention Fu Changxi's complicated entanglement at the moment, let's rewind the time.

That day, because of the delay in Fu Changxi's Xishan Courtyard, it was already late when Zhen Tingyun returned to the women's school by car. But, because of Fu Changxi's affairs, she entered the room and couldn't help sitting on the couch in a daze.

Of course, unlike Fu Changxi, she immediately thought of the dowry as soon as she confessed. But she couldn't help but repeatedly think of what Fu Changxi had done and said with her.

Recalling that he once pressed her forehead and said to her word by word, "If you don't like him, you don't like this marriage. Then don't marry."

Thinking of him holding her hand gently, he asked her softly, "Tingyun, do you like me?"

Remembering that he looked up at her and asked earnestly, "Then, if I go to the mansion to propose marriage, would you like it?"

And before parting, his sentence: "Think about it, don't make me wait too long."

 …

After waiting until Du Qingqing, who was in the same room, also came back, Zhen Tingyun was awakened by the sound of the door opening, and woke up from his own thoughts. For a moment, she felt that her face was about to burn red, and she subconsciously covered her somewhat hot cheeks with her hands.

Thanks to Du Qingqing's big heart, he didn't pay attention to this. Instead, he asked Zhen Tingyun: "Have you had dinner?"

Zhen Tingyun shook her head, her reaction was a little slow at this time, and she realized after a while: Ah, when she came back from Xishan Courtyard, she sat beside the couch in a daze, and in a blink of an eye, it was already time for dinner. She was a little shy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just said: "If you want to eat, let's go to the dining hall together?"

Du Qingqing nodded naturally.

So, Zhen Tingyun got up as if nothing had happened and went out with Du Qingqing to go to the girls' school cafeteria to have dinner together.

During the meal, the two of them also exchanged their knowledge of each other on this Mid-Yuan Festival.

Du Qingqing heard that Zhen Tingyun went to Yanwang's mansion to attend the lotus feast, and couldn't help but ask again and again.

Zhen Tingyun started talking to her, but he couldn't help but think of the wishful thinking that Princess Yan had given him, and then he thought of Fu Changxi - although the husband said at the time that he would retire for her in the marriage, but it was Prince Yan's mansion, sir, he How can get out of the marriage?

In such a trance, when Zhen Tingyun reacted again, Du Qingqing, who was on the opposite side, had almost stripped all the food in front of him, and he couldn't hide his concern: "Are you on your mind, I see that you seem to be very distracted today. "

"Really?" Zhen Tingyun only felt that his face was hot, and subconsciously reached out to stroke his cheek, then lowered his head to eat again, "Probably a little tired."

Du Qingqing is more hearty, so he didn't doubt it when he heard the words, but he said very loyally: "I see that you seem to be carrying a lot of baggage today. Since you are tired, then I will wait for you to pack up together?"

Zhen Tingyun hurriedly thanked her, and then he remembered that he hadn't had time to pack up until now, and then he thought about the class tomorrow... Where is there any time to worry about Fu Changxi, Zhen Tingyun suddenly accelerated the cooking Action, the dinner was solved in no time.

So, Du Qingqing and Zhen Tingyun hurried back to the house and packed up together.

Compared with the simple and thin luggage before, this time, because of Prince Yan's residence, Mrs. Pei specially packed some things for Zhen Tingyun. It was Du Qingqing who helped pack up, and couldn't help but say, "You really have a lot of luggage this time..."

Zhen Tingyun didn't want to talk more about family matters. In fact, she even felt that Pei's behavior like making up for it was meaningless-could it be possible that Pei's would be fooled by taking her as the three melons and two dates. Little girl, are you thinking of using these things to show your mother's heart and bribe her? This is too beautiful to think, right?

Therefore, Zhen Tingyun changed the subject casually: "How can you have more - I see that every time you go home, your parents are not allowed to ask someone to move the whole house for you."

Du Qingqing was made to laugh, but he didn't bother to ask about Zhen Yiyun's family affairs, but instead talked about his own family affairs with a smile, showing off his parents who prioritized women over men.

The two talked and laughed, and they were not slow to pack their things. Because they were going to school tomorrow, the two of them washed up early and rested.

Du Qingqing has always been big-hearted, but today she is a little tired again, and she fell asleep with the quilt in her arms.

On the contrary, it was Zhen Tingyun. She was lying on the bed, feeling as if she had remembered a lot of things and as if she had not remembered anything. She tossed and turned on the couch alone and couldn't fall asleep.

Du Qingqing slept on the bed opposite Zhen Tingyun. She slept in a daze, vaguely listening to these movements, and asked vaguely, "Tingyun, are you still asleep?"

Zhen Tingyun: "...It's just a little hot, so I'm going to sleep now."

Du Qingqing only listened to a general idea, then turned over and went to sleep.

In the incense making class on the second day, Zhen Tingyun took the spices that Fu Changxi had prepared for her, and inevitably thought of him again.

Because it has been more than a month since the school started, Mr. Yu has taught the female students in the class to recognize most of the spices, and now he has begun to exercise the sensitivity of everyone's nose to aroma, so that they can start from smelling and debating incense, and also A more detailed and in-depth understanding of the aroma of various spices.

Therefore, in this incense control class, the female students are all in pairs, each holding an incense burner.

One adds spices to the furnace, the other smells the incense and debates the incense, and then announces the name of the incense.

From time to time, the clear and pleasant debating voices of the female students would be heard in the room——

"clove"

"Arborvitae"

"Su He"

"lily"

"Dragon Brain"

There are also female students who made a soft begging sound after guessing wrong, and the fragrance mist lingered in the room for a while, which was like a mist in the clouds and mountains.

Zhen Tingyun and Yang Qionghua both took the course of incense making, so naturally they each held the incense burner and kept each other company.

Compared to Yang Qionghua, who has some basic knowledge and experience, Zhen Tingyun's nose is indeed dull enough, and he even misidentified several things.

Fortunately, Yang Qionghua was also a little absent-minded, but he didn't particularly care that Zhen Tingyun made a mistake, but instead used a small jade spoon to scoop a spoonful of ground dried ginger into the incense burner, and winked at Zhen Tingyun: "Come on. Come, come and sniff this!"

The aroma rose from the incense burner, and there was a faint fragrance mist.

Zhen Tingyun leaned forward knowingly, used his hand as a fan, and fanned the fragrant mist gently. Then, she smelled the spicy smell of ginger, and couldn't help sneezing, almost shedding tears, she couldn't help but stare at Yang Qionghua: "You're the only one to blame!"

Yang Qionghua smiled: "You have been arguing so much, your nose is going to be blunt, the more you argue, the more wrong you are. I'm here to wake up your nose!"

In fact, Zhen Tingyun also knew that Yang Qionghua had good intentions - he was too nervous, and the more nervous he was, the more likely he would make mistakes, and after sniffing for a long time, it was really easy to tell the difference in fragrance, and he needed some stimulation.

Although he thought so, Zhen Tingyun still couldn't hold back, and added a little bit of asarum into the incense burner like Yang Qionghua.

This time, it was Yang Qionghua who choked her nose.

The two had a scuffle, but they alarmed Mr. Yu who was sitting on the top.

Mr. Yu got off the stage, walked to their case, closed his eyes and sniffed and guessed: "This is, Asarum? Um...and ginger..."

Zhen Tingyun: "..."

Yang Qionghua: "..."

Mr. Yu was angry and funny: "You guys really know how to choose!"

Zhen Tingyun and Yang Qionghua quickly bowed their heads.

Mr. Yu said, but he got a sense of it. He took a step and returned to the upper position. He raised his hand and knocked on the table: "Stop for a while."

The room fell silent for a while, and the needles could be heard.

Mr. Yu cleared his throat, and then continued: "I told you earlier that this incense-making process has a long history and is extensive and profound. Spices can not only add fragrance to you, but also have various medicinal uses. A female student smelled ginger and asarum, but just happened to think of a fragrant recipe, which can be used to teach you all. You can write it down. If you make fragrant cakes according to this fragrant recipe after class, you can also share it with me. Reward, discuss one or two..."

Everyone was a little unhappy when they were interrupted. They were all very happy when they heard the words. They all stood up and bowed to thank the gentleman. You must know that, except for some well-known incense recipes, each family has its own secret recipe, and it has always been bad. Sweep Zizhen, keep secret. Now that Mr. Yu is willing to teach them a fragrant recipe, it can be seen that he really treats them as disciples and really cares about them.

Mr. Yu looked around the room, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "The incense recipe I taught you is called Qingxin Cake. This incense is used to refresh the mind and clear the mind. After making the incense cake, put it into the furnace to burn incense, and the incense will enter Nose, can clear the heart and lungs, clear the heart and refresh the brain. The main ingredients of this Qingxin cake are: agarwood, asarum, Shu pepper, white peony, dipterocarp, saffron, white striment, cinnamon..."

When talking about "Xixin", Mr. Yu looked at Zhen Tingyun unintentionally.

Zhen Tingyun: "..."

Mr. Yu didn't say much, just repeated the method of making the incense cake from the beginning, and then said: "People say that incense is used to make tea, this incense is suitable for burning tea in the morning, a pot of tea, a stove Fragrance can refresh the mind and refresh the mind, and a clear day starts from here."

Everyone was taught, and they carefully wrote down this idea. Others thought about going back and making this pure heart cake, so that they could ask Mr. Yu for advice next time in class.

In this way, this incense-making class is here.

Zhen Tingyun and other students all got up and saluted Mr. Yu to leave. Only then did he start to pack his things and prepare to eat in the dining hall.

Zhen Tingyun and Yang Qionghua were left behind, and the two were talking quietly.

Yang Qionghua asked, "I heard someone say that Princess Yan sent someone to send Lingzhi Ruyi to your home the day before yesterday?"

Zhen Tingyun nodded slightly.

When Yang Qionghua wanted to come, Princess Yan didn't treat Zhen Tingyun any favors when she was enjoying the lotus banquet that day, obviously she didn't like Zhen Tingyun. But she sent Ruyi over afterwards, and someone must have said good things to Zhen Tingyun. And speaking in front of Princess Yan is so weighty, and even changing Princess Yan's decision... It must be the regent!

Thinking about it this way, Yang Qionghua also has a new understanding of what happened when he met Zhen Tingyun and the Prince Regent on the Qixi Festival: Maybe, Zhen Tingyun and the Prince Regent are simply a teacher-student relationship, and the Prince Regent is actually trying to match his nephew and students. , that day was actually for Fu Nianjia's own nephew? Thinking about it this way, it seems that Fu Nianjia, the prince of Yan's prince, left early that day.

Yang Qionghua thought he saw through the mystery, and he breathed a sigh of relief for a while. Naturally, he was also very happy for Zhen Tingyun. He held her hand and said, "Tingyun, you are rich and noble, don't forget!"

Zhen Tingyun was not very willing to this marriage, and remembering that Fu Changxi had said that he would help her quit the marriage, at this time, he naturally couldn't admit the matter of the Yan Wangfu, so he shook his head: "...don't do this, maybe the princess It's just a reward for me, nothing else."

Having said that, Zhen Tingyun hurried to Yang Qionghua again and asked her, "I woke up in the morning and saw that you were not in your mind. Is there something wrong?"

Yang Qionghua looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he said to Zhen Tingyun in a muffled voice, "My father found out the things that Rong Ziming gave me."

This is a bit of information.

Zhen Tingyun couldn't help but ask again, "What is Rong Ziming doing to give you something?"

"Not yet..." Not because of you and the Regent!

Halfway through these words, Yang Qionghua swallowed them again, almost not swallowing them to death. Because of this, Yang Qionghua even angered the useless Rong Ziming, and responded very quickly and added: "It's not that Rong Ziming is sick!"

Zhen Tingyun: "..."

Yang Qionghua quickly thought about it: "Forget it, anyway, my father is angry, so he's going to beat up Rong Ziming, what's the matter with me?" She waved her hand and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria, or we'll have nothing to do with it. Vegetables."

Having said that, when the two of them hurried to the dining hall, it was still a little late.

However, there are also small moon cakes in the dining hall, and each person can only take one.

Yang Qionghua looked at the exquisite and small moon cakes, and couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that the palace only started making moon cakes in August, but I didn't expect our girls to start making them right now?"

Zhen Tingyun poured cold water on the side: "I heard that for the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the cooking class has already started teaching female students to make moon cakes. What you eat may be the finished product made by them."

Hearing this, Yang Qionghua immediately stopped looking at the small moon cake, and said something else: "By the way, the fifteenth day of the eighth month is the Queen Mother's birthday, although I don't know if it will be a big one, but the palace banquet will definitely be held. Since Yan Yan The princess gave you Lingzhi Ruyi, you have to be prepared here..."

Yang Qionghua was thinking that Princess Yan might have been ventilated with the palace, and then the Queen Mother Zheng's palace banquet will also invite Zhen Tingyun over.

Zhen Tingyun had natural trust in Fu Changxi, thinking that Fu Changxi had promised to retire her relatives, maybe he could really retire.Therefore, she is not sensitive to the palace banquet, and only perfunctorily said: "Let's talk about it when the time comes."

Maybe, when the relatives are gone, Gong Yan will naturally not look for her.
