Chapter 141 Fragrant Recipes

The windows in the house are closed, the curtains are hung low, and the furnishings are simple, with one couch, one desk and one chair.

There was a candle lamp hanging on the wall, and its dim light reflected a woman huddled in the corner of the bed. She was dressed in white, lying on her side with her head turned inward, motionless.

A man in rich clothes walked into the house and was shocked by the scene. He walked quickly in front of her and reached out to grab her shoulders.

The woman suddenly opened her eyes, raised her hand to press against his neck, and struck out with her other hand like lightning, hooking his eyes with her five fingers.

At the critical moment, the woman in black behind the man in rich clothes took a step forward, raised her hand and grabbed the wrist of the woman in blood, and threw her off the bed with a strong force.

The man in rich clothes touched his neck and sneered in a hoarse voice: "Jiang Ruyan, after your magic has been ruined, you are still so rampant. Do you think you can escape by blinding me?"

Jiang Ruyan fell to the ground and slowly sat up when she heard his voice, her back straightened.

She is thin and has a haggard face, but she still looks pretty and graceful, especially her eyes, which are slightly raised at the corners and sparkling.

A sharp smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she said coldly: "People like you who sell their souls to monsters will one day be doomed."

The man in rich clothes laughed loudly when he heard this, took a few steps back, sat on a chair, held his chin in his hand and looked at Jiang Ruyan, with an unconcerned look on his face.

"Jiang Ruyan, do you know who I saw in the West Market two days ago?"

Jiang Ruyan raised her pale face, glanced at him coldly, and said angrily: "Who you met has anything to do with me?"

The man in rich clothes smiled, narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, you will know if it matters after I finish speaking."

He turned around and asked the woman in black next to him: "Who is she?"

The woman in black reported: "She is the daughter of Zheng Zhongshu Ling's family, her maiden name is Hua Jiao. However, her surname is not Zheng, but Jiang."

The man in rich clothes looked at Jiang Ruyan and asked, "Did you hear that, Jiang Huajiao?"

Jiang Ruyan's face remained as usual, and his tone remained calm: "What's wrong with Jiang Huajiao? What does it have to do with me?"

"Does it have nothing to do with you? I'm afraid Jiang Huajiao doesn't think so." The man in rich clothes glanced at Jiang Ruyan's slowly clenched hand, pointed at the woman in black next to him, and said, "I ordered her to drop your jade pendant.

I was picked up by Jiang Huajiao in the West Market, and she chased her all the way, and she still called her sister."

Jiang Ruyan was unmoved, raised her head and asked, "Is this what you came here to say?"

As if he had just remembered, the man in black told the woman in black: "By the way, her rice." After saying this, he motioned the woman in black to go out, bring in the lunch box, and place it in front of Jiang Ruyan.

Jiang Ruyan opened the lunch box and started eating.

The man in black sighed, stood up and said: "Since you said Jiang Huajiao has nothing to do with you, then I will order someone to capture her. No, she is a young lady with status, so we can only send someone to kill her secretly

Already."

Jiang Ruyan hesitated for a moment, the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, and her face turned a little pale.

The man in black continued: "She seems to be able to do magic, so I can only send powerful ones..."

Jiang Ruyan suddenly changed color, put down the chopsticks in her hand, closed her eyes, and after a moment opened her eyes to look at the man in the rich clothes: "I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Huajiao sat on the couch near the window, took out cousin Jiang Ruyan's ring-shaped jade pendant, and looked at it carefully in the sunlight.

My cousin never leaves her body with this jade pendant, so why did it fall next to her that night? If it was dropped on purpose, why did my cousin not recognize me at that time? There is only one explanation. The woman in plain clothes is not my cousin, but someone else pretending to be her. So.

, my cousin fell into someone’s hands.

If her cousin was in confinement and she searched like this, she might not be able to find her for a while.

Huajiao stood up and walked slowly around the house.

Xue Xiu didn't know what she was worried about, so she asked her carefully: "Madam, do you want to make incense?"

Huajiao waved her hand. Although she had been obsessed with making incense these days, she was obviously not in the mood at the moment.

Aunt Lin walked in, waving a round fan, and said: "Yu Dujian has only been away for a few days, and you are already like this. When Yu Dujian comes back, I will urge him to marry you as soon as possible."

As she spoke, Aunt Lin ordered Xuexiu to put out the newly purchased spices and said, "Let's make incense. This can relieve the pain of lovesickness."

Hua Jiao didn't know how to refute for a moment.

"What's the meaning of lovesickness..." Before he could finish his words, Aunt Lin interrupted him, "Don't believe it, my sister said that incense is a mysterious thing."

Hua Jiao was slightly startled, realizing that the sister in Aunt Lin's mouth was referring to his own mother-in-law.

Hua Jiao suddenly raised his eyes and asked: "Granny Lin, did Aniang still say that burning can communicate with ghosts and gods? You said you were making up nonsense about ghosts and gods, so what did Aniang originally say mean that burning can communicate with ghosts and gods?

Remember?"

"It's been so long, how can I remember?" Aunt Lin mentioned the scale and started weighing the spices.

Huajiao stepped forward, grabbed the small scale, and asked: "Aunt Lin, think about it again, this is very important to me."

Lin Gu frowned and thought: "I really can't remember it, otherwise I wouldn't have made such nonsense that it was a ghost."

"But Yunxu?"

Lin Gu was stunned for a moment, then patted the table and said, "It seems to be some kind of ruins. I didn't understand what it was at that time, but your mother-in-law smiled at me and said I don't need to understand. How did you know?"

The character's expression changed slightly.

So, does the fragrant pill that opens the door to Yunxu really come from the Puyi clan? Could it be that when the clan members were killed, monsters came to steal the incense?

"Lin Gu, have you ever mentioned the fragrance of wet dreams?" Huajiao asked.

This time it was Lin Gu's turn to be surprised. She looked at the corner of the painting and said in a trembling voice: "Little lady, are you looking for a scent like Wet Dream?"

Huajiao nodded.

Lin Gu sighed: "Sister left you a recipe for incense and asked me to teach you how to make incense. She also said that when you ask about the incense like Wet Dream, I will give you the recipe."

Hua Jiao suddenly stood up, grabbed Lin Gu's wrist, and said, "Lin Gu, where is the Xiang Fang?"

Lin Gu was startled. She had never seen Huajiao so excited.

"No, you don't like making incense very much, don't you? How come a fragrant recipe makes you so excited? Can you calm down and make incense now? If not, I can't just give you the fragrant recipe." Aunt Lin

While chattering, he went to get the incense recipe.

After a while, Aunt Lin held a carved wooden box and handed it to Huajiao.

The wooden box seemed to fit perfectly, and there was no lock. Even if ordinary people got the wooden box, they would not be able to open it.

Hua Jiao's mother-in-law once taught Hua Jiao how to use magic to open locks, and she used magic to open the wooden box.

What I saw inside was not only the incense recipe, but also a letter written by Aniang to her. In addition, there was also a map made of parchment.
