Chapter 20 Reporting
Author: Jiji’s Qiqi
Luo Wushuang was lying on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
I don't know whether it was because the bed was too hard or because I felt uneasy. I tossed and turned for a long time but still couldn't sleep.
I don’t know if His Highness King Yan is back...
Lele said that he has cold syndrome and needs to take a bath with cooked perilla water every day even in summer.
How could someone at such a young age suffer from such a disease?
So Luo Wushuang took advantage of Lele to prepare the bath water and secretly added some ginger essence into the water. Hehe, this is a good thing, specially used to treat cold and wind pain.
But as soon as she added it, she was discovered by Lele. She was scared to death and asked what it was. She even wanted to replace the large bucket of water that had been prepared, for fear that it would not suit King Yan.
So after some explanations, Luo Wushuang wasted half a year of spitting. Finally, she promised Lele that if King Yan blamed her, Luo Wushuang would bear the responsibility alone, and she passed the test.
I hope that His Highness King Yan, seeing how hard he has worked so hard to make him feel better, can get someone to send him away in time tomorrow!
In a daze, I heard someone knocking on the door. When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was still dark outside. Just as I was hesitating, I heard someone outside say: "It's time for the girl to get up. Brother Liang has ordered the girl to be sent to Tianxiang Pavilion early this morning."
When Luo Wushuang heard about Tianxiang Pavilion, she jumped up and secretly felt lucky that the people in the palace were still trustworthy, but this schedule was really hard to adapt to.
Regardless, it is appropriate for apprentices to report earlier on their first day.
When Luo Wushuang had packed up and was about to get on the carriage, he saw Guard Liang running towards him.
"Is this guy here to see me off?" Luo Wushuang shook his head and immediately rejected this unrealistic idea.
"Girl, please come with me." Guard Liang made a "please" gesture without saying much. Luo Wushuang thought to himself that this palace was really troublesome and he would let people leave.
"Brother guard, what's the matter?"
"We'll know when we get there."
Luo Wushuang followed him through the screen wall and saw Mu Junze standing with his hands behind his back in the front hall from a distance. There was another person kneeling in the hall. Who else could it be if it wasn't Lele?
Seeing Luo Wushuang coming, Lele's eyes were a little dodgeful, and she simply lowered her head and remained silent.
Mu Junze did not turn around and asked coldly: "Yesterday, what did you add to the cooked perilla water that I used for bathing?"
Luo Wushuang probably expected this to be the case, so he explained in detail: "Reporting to Your Highness, I... this slave once read in a book of incense that adding ginger juice to the bath in summer can remove the winter accumulated in the body.
The cold air can help strengthen the body. So I added some on my own initiative. If His Highness doesn't like it, please don't blame Lele, it was all my idea."
"Where's the ginger juice?" Mu Junze turned around, with an indifferent aura around him that made people afraid to look directly at him.
It has to be said that King Yan really lived up to his reputation, and he immediately grasped the key - no one in the palace prepared ginger juice yesterday.
However, Luo Wushuang was not a vegetarian. She had already thought about it and replied calmly: "I have loved the unique aroma of ginger since I was a child, so I often filter the ginger juice and carry it with me in a small porcelain bottle. I used it yesterday.
Yes, it's in this little porcelain vase." Luo Wushuang said as he took out an exquisite little porcelain vase and presented it with both hands.
Mu Junze took one look and waved her hand to let her go down.
Luo Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, His Highness Prince Yan did not pick up the bottle and take a closer look. Otherwise, he would have discovered that the porcelain bottle contained frankincense instead of ginger. The ginger essence was in a glass bottle, which he had never seen before in this continent.
It's better not to take out glass products and cause trouble.
Lele, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't know what to do when he heard King Yan say lightly: "Get up." Seeing that the prince would no longer pursue the issue, Lele quickly got up and left, but then heard the prince's instructions: "Start today and take a bath.
Add some ginger juice to both!”
Lele was shocked, and then she promised repeatedly. It turned out that the prince liked this ginger water, and she suddenly became frustrated and unwilling. If she had known better, she would not have brought that girl Luo Wushuang out, and she would have been given an advantage!
When Luo Wushuang arrived at Tianxiang Pavilion, it was already broad daylight. There were several girls sweeping and moving things at the door. The boy did not see A Xi, so he asked a girl who was pruning flowers and trees where he should go on his first day.
Side reports.
"You are Sister Luo who won the Xiang Competition, right?" The little girl frowned and said, "On the first day you come, you go to the Fragrance Affairs Office to wait for arrangements. I will take you there."
"Okay, thank you!" Luo Wushuang saw that this girl was smart and articulate, and she was secretly happy: "This Tianxiang Pavilion is indeed extraordinary, even the little girl is so powerful."
After passing through a small piece of herb field at the door, bypassing the inner screen wall, we arrived at the inner courtyard. The inside is more spacious than what you see from the outside, with white walls and blue tiles, fresh and elegant.
The little girl stopped at the door, pointed inside, and did not go in. Luo Wushuang learned that the Fragrance Office was the two-story building facing south when entering, so he thanked the little girl and walked inside alone.
Before he stepped into the door of the Incense Affairs Office, he saw a thin old man walking out. Luo Wushuang recognized that it was Deacon Yan who presided over the incense conference yesterday, and immediately stepped forward and knelt down: "Deacon Yan is well, Luo Wushuang
Wushuang came to report."
Seeing Luo Wushuang, a slight smile appeared on Deacon Yan's usually serious face. He ordered a woman in blue next to him to take Luo Wushuang to get uniform clothes, bedding and other items, and took Luo Wushuang to the incense making building to become an apprentice.
.
Although Tianxiang Pavilion is just an incense shop, it is different from ordinary incense shops. This is not only reflected in the fact that its scale is much larger than ordinary shops, but also in the strict management, with a series of levels, further training, and a mentoring and mentoring system.
All the disciples in the pavilion wear uniform clothes when walking in the pavilion during the day. The clothes are different according to the grade. The incense boy wears gray clothes, the incense disciple wears blue clothes, the incense scholar wears green clothes, and the incense master wears white clothes. And each grade is different.
It is divided into elementary, middle and high levels, and the collars are decorated with black, dark blue and gold piping respectively.
The woman in blue who led Luo Wushuang was named Huang Yaner. She looked thin and small, but she was very efficient when doing things.
She took Luo Wushuang to the side room to get some clothes while explaining the rules of Tianxiang Pavilion to her. Luo Wushuang secretly marveled at this. This was not a place that just sold spices. It was more organized than a modern boarding school.
Taking a closer look, Yan'er's collar also had a circle of dark blue piping, and Luo Wushuang knew that she was an intermediate scent disciple.
Picking up a set of blue clothes with black piping, Luo Wushuang followed Huang Yan'er to the incense-making building. Along the way, he met some incense boys and incense disciples in gray and blue. Tsing Yi was not common, let alone incense masters in white.
.
After walking a few more steps, they saw a courtyard. The main building was a two-story attic. On the plaque were three gilt characters "Incense Making Building". Before Luo Wushuang could get closer, he heard a burst of hearty laughter.
: "Sister Yan'er, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Looking for the sound, I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl walking quickly. She was wearing an ingot bun, and the strands of hair on her temples were almost flying.
Seeing her joyful look, Luo Wushuang and Huang Yan'er seemed to be infected, and the corners of their mouths curved upward in a beautiful arc.
