    The thick white mist in the bathroom gradually dispersed, and the air became cooler.

    Sandalwood has already looked at Jia Fu several times.  She shrank her whole body and soaked in the camphor bathtub. Her freshly washed hair, half-moistened green hair, was loosely tied with a hairpin at the side of her neck. She leaned her forehead lightly against the wall of the tub, her eyes closed, her eyelashes closed.  Drooped, as if asleep.

    She was afraid that Jiafu would catch a cold, so she couldn't help but urge her softly: "Little lady, wake up."

    Jia Fu slowly opened her eyes, held on to the wet barrel wall, and stood up.

    The skin is smooth and smooth, the jade skin is dazzling, and there are dots of crystal water droplets on it. The body is like a Guerlain in bud.

    Sandalwood wrapped Jiafu's body with a soft big scarf, and Dingxiang handed over the clothes that had been prepared in advance.  Jiafu dried herself, put on her clothes and went out. Several rough ladies came in to clean up. Among them was a woman named Wang. Not long after she arrived, she smelled the aroma emanating from the bath and couldn't help but ask:  "What kind of fragrance does the little lady use every day? It smells so good. My granddaughter is getting married next month. I will go back and buy some to add to her makeup."

    Sandalwood is a friendly person and responded with a smile: "Mother Wang, this is called Jie Boluo Xiang, also called frozen borneol. It is shipped from South India. I heard from the young lady that it was not worth much money there, but  It costs only one tael of silver to be shipped across the ocean to us."

    Mrs. Wang was startled and smacked her tongue: "My mother! This is too expensive. How can I afford it? This little lady adds this to her bath water every day. How much money will it cost after a month? This is not a bath.  The fragrant soup is actually sento!"

    The other woman laughed out loud: "Old Wang, it's up to you to say this. Don't talk nonsense when you go out, so as not to make people laugh. Whose family is this? No matter how expensive the spices are, they will be sold to the owner."  Here, it¡¯s nothing but earth and rubbish. Not to mention one coin or one tael of silver, even if it¡¯s ten taels of silver, if the young lady wants to use it, it¡¯s just a matter of giving orders.¡±

    Quanzhou's maritime trade is prosperous. Countless ships come in and out of the large and small ports outside Nanxunmen and Tumen every day, as close as Champa, Siam, and Sulu, as far away as Dashi, Ma Lin, and Biji. People from all over the world come from all over the world.  There are a wide variety of goods, and spices are one of the major categories.  The Zhen family is a wealthy person in Quanzhou and owns one of the largest fleets. No matter how precious the spices are, they are not rare to the Zhen family. Although this woman's words are a bit boastful, they are not wrong.

    Mrs. Wang nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, and smiled coquettishly: "Yes, yes, I was ignorant and said the wrong thing" She stretched her neck and took another breath of the aroma, and then she carried the water out with the others.

    When the sandalwood came out, he saw Jiafu opening the spice box, taking a jade spoon and picking a spoonful. Knowing that she was going to add it to the crested incense burner, he hurriedly went up to open the lid for her.

    "I can do this. Be careful, little lady, in case you burn your hand."

    Gafo threw the spices into the furnace.  The spices touched the fire and made a pleasant sizzling sound, accompanied by a curl of green smoke. She bent down slightly, raised her hand, fanned the cigarette in her direction a few times, then closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.  One breath.

    Sandalwood looked at it, feeling a little puzzled.

    The young lady never liked incense in the room and only put flowers. But she didn't know why. After returning from Xishan Temple that day, she suddenly changed her preference.  Also add the pounded powder.

    That¡¯s all.  Sandalwood has been in Zhen's family for many years, and with the young lady, I know some of the types and pros and cons of spices.  Frozen borneol is naturally top-grade, with a light and gentle aroma, a sweet aftertaste, and a high price, but it is not considered top-notch among other fat spices in the same category.  The top one is ambergris.  Since the appearance, color and smell of the two spices are similar, non-experts cannot tell them apart. Therefore, unscrupulous merchants often sell frozen borneol as ambergris.

    Although ambergris is rare, the Zhen family does not have no inventory. Since the young lady has switched to incense, why not get ambergris and use this inferior frozen borneol?

    Sandalwood couldn¡¯t help but ask.

    Jia Fu stared at the cloud of green smoke rising from Feng's mouth, and said lightly: "The ambergris is the imperial incense. I don't want to use it."

    Sandalwood suddenly said: "The little lady is still thoughtful."

    "Remember to take it with you when you go out tomorrow. All my clothes must be smoked with this frozen borneol, smoke them for a longer time, and don't need anything else. Don't make a mistake."

    Sandalwood smiled and said, "Don't worry, little lady, I've prepared everything. You can't go wrong."

    "The madam is here!"

    Jiafu turned around and saw her mother Meng and Nanny Liu beside her arriving. She smiled and went to greet them.

    Mrs. Meng took her daughter and sat on the edge of the bed: "How is your health? Are you still in a trance when you sleep?"

    The ninth day of the lunar month is the third anniversary of Jia Fu¡¯s father.  That day, she went to Xishan Temple with her grandmother Hu, mother Mrs. Meng, and brother Zhen Yaoting to perform Daxiang rituals. She stayed in the temple that night, and she slept in the same room as Mrs. Meng.  Early the next morning,She was worried, her eyes were red, but she didn't dare to shed tears, she just smiled and said, "What mother said is true, I think so too."

    The old lady nodded, turned to Jiafu who had been silent next to her, and called her.

    Knowing that she had something to say, Jia Fu knelt on a mat in front of her and said, "Grandma, please give me your instructions."

    "Filial piety is the foundation of all things. You know what is going on in our family. Although people are self-reliant, it is always a good thing for you to marry into the Pei family. I will leave sooner or later, and I will leave this family fortune to your brother.  , if you get ahead in the Pei family in the future, you will inevitably be asked to support him. Did you remember what grandma said? "

    Jia Fu said: "My granddaughter will remember it." Her attitude was very respectful.

    The old lady looked at her with rare tenderness in her eyes, nodded and said: "Get up, go back and rest early, keep up your spirits, we will be on the road tomorrow morning." (Remember this site's website address: www  .hlnovel.com
