Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 178
Two men and two women sat at the same dining table, and the frequency of eating was different. Jia Mingyun and Gu Lingqing were talking about some things, but they did not shy away from the presence of the two women.

However, the two of them drank and ate at a very slow pace. Zhao Min was full after eating for a while, and sat on the stool boredly, listening to the two talking about some topics that he didn't understand at all. I feel a little bored.

And Wang Zimo at the side noticed Zhao Min's mood, winked at her, leaned over her and said softly: "Let's go to that side, I'll show you something."

"Okay." Zhao Min immediately agreed, and the two went to sit down at the next table.

At this time, Wang Zimo took out a few wooden boxes from his sleeve and put them in front of Zhao Min: "This is the incense I just mixed, how do you smell it?"

Zhao Min looked at the three wooden boxes in front of him, and after smelling them one by one, he clicked on the second one: "This fragrance smells the best, it has a faint jasmine fragrance, and it doesn't give people a sense of smell. Aggressive, very gentle."

While Zhao Min was talking, Wang Zimo couldn't stop nodding, and agreed with what she said: "That's right, this is my main product for these fragrances this time, and you still know what to buy."

No matter how careless Zhao Min usually is, she is a girl after all, and she cannot refuse something full of fragrance after all.

"Since you like this fragrance, I'll give it to you as a gift." Wang Zimo is very generous, and she is not at all worried that Zhao Min will give her this item in advance to enter the market.

"No, no, no, absolutely not, this is not yet in the market, how can I accept it?" Zhao Min was a little flattered.

Wang Zimo directly picked up the wooden box from the table and stuffed it into Zhao Min's hands: "It's okay, I trust you."

Looking at the trust in Wang Zimo's eyes, Zhao Min couldn't help feeling a little moved, but he couldn't say no more: "Okay, then I'll accept it, thank you."

Then Wang Zimo enthusiastically introduced to her some short stories about his own fragrances, and Zhao Min was also very fascinated.

After telling some short stories, Wang Zimo sighed heavily, looking at the three wooden boxes in front of him, there was a trace of melancholy between his brows.

After the conversation just now, Zhao Min felt that the two of them were very compatible, and had already regarded her as his friend. Seeing the troubled look on her face, she asked, "What's the matter? Is there anything troublesome?" ?”

"To be honest." A trace of loneliness flashed across Wang Zimo's face, "Recently, I have reached a bottleneck, and I have tried many new varieties of incense, but I can't find the one that makes a new kind of incense. I have lost my sense of excitement and accomplishment, and I always feel that it is not what I want.”

Zhao Min opened the box in the middle again, stuck a little bit out, put it under his nose, and sniffed it carefully: "I think it's very good, aren't you a little self-deprecating?"

Wang Zimo stared at her hand: "I developed this fragrance half a year ago, but I just planned to release it recently."

"Don't mention these unhappy things. What did the princess call you to do that day? Tell me, I'm very curious." Wang Zimo quickly changed the subject, and it can be seen that she is also a very cheerful person. Optimistic girl.

The girls were chatting their own private words over there, but the atmosphere on Jia Mingyun and Gu Lingqing's side was not very good.

"Ten days later, it will be the annual archery competition. During the last autumn hunt, Gu Zixing couldn't hold back his shot at you. There may be some accidents in this archery competition."

Thinking of Gu Lingqing's injury during the last autumn hunt, Jia Mingyun still feels lingering fear. If the prince's sword had been more deflected, it would have pierced into his heart. Even if his master was present, he might not be able to recover.

Mentioning this competition, Gu Lingqing also had a solemn expression on his face. At that time, the prince and the sons of the court ministers will participate in the archery competition. I am afraid that I will be forgotten by the emperor or not asked to play, but this is just a fear, and Gu Zixing will be among them To spoil the situation, Gu Lingqing believed that he would definitely appear on the competition list.

It's just that the current Gu Lingqing still doesn't know what Gu Zixing's intentions are. If he is only injured, it will be fine, but he is afraid that he designed himself to cause the sons of other important officials in the court to be injured. It's not that simple.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of it and try not to hurt myself, let alone you? I still want to see you show off in the arena!" Gu Lingqing said pretending to be relaxed.

As Jia Mingyun's beloved disciple of the Imperial Physician, the legitimate son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials naturally also wanted to participate.

However, Jia Mingyun has studied medical skills since he was a child, but he is not very good at these martial arts. Seeing that Gu Lingqing is still in the mood to joke, he can't help but glared at him.

"No matter what the prince's idea is, you can be careful when the time comes, and you will never make a mistake." Jia Mingyun was no less calm than Gu Lingqing. He was full of worries and always felt that something big would happen.

"Well, I will pay attention." Gu Lingqing picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it down, the haze flashed in her eyes.

After drinking and eating, the four parted at the door of the restaurant.

Just when the four said goodbye to each other and were about to part, Zhao Min suddenly looked at Wang Zimo and said, "What about Yaoxiang?"

Wang Zimo was taken aback: "Yaoxiang?" Obviously he didn't understand what Zhao Min's sudden words meant.

"Every medicine has its own unique smell. The world only knows that most of the medicinal materials are bitter and unpleasant, but there are also a large number of medicinal materials that exude their own unique medicinal fragrance, which is refreshing and good for the body. , if it is possible to adjust the smell of some medicinal materials into incense?" Zhao Min patiently explained to Wang Zimo the meaning of what he said just now.

As soon as Zhao Min finished speaking, even Wang Zimo's brows that were a little sad just now were relaxed.

"You're right, thank you, Zhao Min." The gratitude in Wang Zimo's eyes was very real. After hearing what Zhao Min said just now, he suddenly felt the troubles that had been troubling him all the time, and suddenly realized.

"You're welcome." Zhao Min was very happy to be able to help Wang Zimo, "I also know a little about medicinal materials. If you need to ask me any questions, I am always here."

"Okay, it's a deal."

The two looked at each other and smiled. In fact, sometimes, the friendship between two girls is not that complicated.
