The girl who wears fast

Chapter 17 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (17)

"By the way, what kind of incense was lit in Madam's room just now?" Luo Changqing remembered that after he smelled the fragrance there just now, he relaxed and fell asleep unconsciously. He felt that the fragrance was quiet and elegant, and it smelled good. It is also very relaxing and has a top-notch sleep aid, which he likes very much.

"Um... I don't know." Shuqi lowered his head and replied, "Madam probably made the incense herself." He knew that Xu Shichu had a spice shop and he knew how to mix it himself.

"Then ask me tomorrow, and replace my sleeping incense with this." Luo Changqing said, he fell asleep very easily after smelling this fragrance, and when he woke up, he didn't feel dizzy and uncomfortable. Instead, he was relaxed and very energetic , much better than the incense he usually used.

He has a high position and authority, is busy with work, and has a lot of time to manage. He is over-thinking during the day and prone to insomnia at night. Even if he is very tired, it is difficult to fall asleep, so he can hardly fall asleep without sleeping incense every day.

"Okay, I'll ask Madam tomorrow." Shu Qi replied.

The next day, Shu Qi really begged to see Xu Shichu in person and asked her about sleeping incense.

"The incense is called 'Walking into Dreams'. The recipe was researched by myself. If you want it, you can buy it in my Zuixiang Pavilion. As for the spice recipe, I can't give it to you." Xu Shichu said lightly.

"That's natural. Master Xiang only wants to make good incense, and he's not interested in the recipe." Shu Qi replied quickly, for fear that Xu Shichu might misunderstand that Luo Changqing was coveting her recipe.

Of course Xu Shichu didn't think that the dignified prime minister would covet her spice recipes with such shallow eyelids, she just didn't want to leak the recipe, and if Xiang Luorui or Luo Yaqing smelled good, who would know Luo Chang Will Qing just give them the house?

It is always good to make this kind of matter of interests clear in advance.

This day, Xu Shichu went to patrol the store according to her usual habits. It's a bit shabby, after all, she only has two stores, but fortunately, she has revitalized both of them during this period of time, and her business has flourished. paved.

It is said that it is to patrol the store, but in fact, she does not need to be busy, she just took this opportunity to come out to have fun.

Now she travels in the style of a noble lady, the carriage is magnificent, it looks like it belongs to a rich family, and there are quite a few people traveling with her, no one dares to mess with her on the street.

Xu Shichu lifted the curtain of the car to look out, and suddenly felt a strong and curious gaze. She looked there, and saw a gentle and handsome young man holding a chubby child, and beside him was a young woman who looked like It is a family of three.

The young man met her gaze and nodded at her.

Xu Shichu was a little strange, because she didn't know this man, but this man acted as if he knew her, and even greeted her silently, and there was no humility or fear in his eyes when he met her, who was obviously an unusual person. color.

They just looked at each other and there was no follow-up, and Xu Shichu didn't take this matter to heart.

"Husband, do you know that lady?" the young man's wife asked curiously.

"We know each other, right? There are some relatives in our ancestors, but now we have no contact, and their status and status are far different from ours. We don't plan to seek relatives." The young man said.

"So that's how it is." The little wife was stunned, and then said in amazement, "That lady is so beautiful, like a fairy in the sky! She is so beautiful and noble, she should be living in a honey pot Is it the same?"

"Not necessarily..." the young man said, "Every family has a difficult scripture to recite. Who knows if her life is bright on the outside, but unspeakable on the inside."

"No way? She is the wife of a high official." The little wife retorted in disbelief.

The young man chuckled. He knew the wife of a high official. Before she got married, she was unknown. After she got married, she often showed her face outside, so she gradually became known.

But it shouldn't be a simple person. After all, Zuixiangge, the spice shop most visited by dignitaries and dignitaries, and Houji Bookstore, the favorite of scholars, are all from her hands.

When Xu Shichu arrived at the Zuixiang Pavilion, there were indeed many customers inside, but everything was in order, the guys and the wives and ladies were endlessly selling various kinds of incense, and the guests were either watching or asking or trying to hear it, and no one made trouble.

"Mother, are you here too?" Xu Shichu was interrupted by an exclamation.

When Xu Shichu saw it, it was actually Luo Yaqing, who was looking at him in surprise, holding a sachet in her hand.

Xu Shichu nodded at her, and said with a smile: "I came to inspect the store, but I didn't expect you to be here too. What kind of incense do you like and tell the clerk, I will give it to you, and the same goes for your little sister."

"This is your shop?!" Luo Yaqing was even more shocked. She was indifferent to Xu Shichu, so naturally she didn't know that Zuixiang Pavilion was Xu Shichu's shop.

"Yes, you don't have to be polite, just take whatever you fancy." Xu Shichu said generously.

"No, no, it's so embarrassing, I will pay the bill." Luo Yaqing quickly waved her hand and refused.

"What's the point? Speaking of which, I haven't given any presents to you brothers and sisters since I've been in the mansion. This time, I'll treat it as a supplementary gift." Xu Shichu was happy to use these spices to save face for his stepchildren, "That's it. , don't refuse!"

Luo Yaqing had no choice but to accept, Xu Shichu said a few more words to her before going to talk to the shopkeeper.

"Yaqing, is this your father's wife?" A round-faced girl beside Luo Yaqing asked curiously as she looked at Xu Shichu's back.

"Yes." Luo Yaqing replied.

"Then she seems to be easy to get along with, and she is also generous. The spices here are not cheap, and she let us choose whatever we want!" the round-faced girl said excitedly.

"You are so naive!" Another girl with a long face snorted and said, "They just bought you with some trivial things, and you fell into the trap! Let me tell you, these stepmothers She is the best at acting, believe it or not, Yaqing really took something here and didn't pay for it, and when she turns around and goes back, she will hint to Prime Minister Luo that Yaqing is greedy for petty gains..."

The round-faced girl's eyes widened: "No way? She doesn't look like that."

"Why not? Isn't that what my stepmother is like? She acts so generous to me in front of outsiders, and tells my father that I am unruly and self-willed, with vicious thoughts!" the long-faced girl was angry. Said unfairly.

Luo Yaqing pondered for a while, and found that Xu Shichu didn't seem to be playing tricks on her and her brother, but what if?So she decided not to give Xu Shichu a free gift, but to buy the incense here only after paying.

Xu Shichu didn't know that his stepdaughter was so guarded against his casual care, but even if he knew, it wouldn't matter.
