The new war version of "Jobs" magazine made Xiaoxiao busy and almost all the time outside of school was given to the magazine. Only the rare leisure time in the evening was used to accompany his parents.

Shan Niang has been pregnant for nearly five months. Her abdomen looks similar to ordinary pregnant women. Xiaoxiao gently strokes her mother's belly like a child: "There are really two babies here?"

"The doctor said he was a twin child when he was taking the pulse." Ci Gu said with a smile.

"The doctor is so amazing. He can actually tell the twins!" Xiaoxiao put his ear on Shanniang's abdomen and listened carefully. "Hey? I seemed to hear the sound of a string of blisters, which slid over in a gurgling manner."

Shan Niang smiled: "This is the initial fetal movement, and you were the same when you were a child."

"Like a little fish, swimming in the belly~" Xiaoxiao happily thought of the two younger brothers swimming in amniotic fluid, "The doctor is so powerful, can I diagnose boys and girls?"

"It's hard to say, and the doctor dares not make any promises." After saying this, Ci Gu quietly leaned closer to Xiaoxiao and said, "It's said there is at least one brother."

Xiaoxiao nodded, it would be even better if it were twins.

Except for the bulge of her abdomen, Shan Niang did not appear plump due to pregnancy, and her complexion was much rosy than the previous two months.

The yard was planted with plum blossoms. It was the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. Two wintersweet trees at the corner of the yard were in full bloom. The fragrance floated under the eaves, and the entire corridor was dyed with the fragrance of wintersweet.

"These two wax plums in our house are Bing Xin and the other ones are Sandalwood. The two smells are really nice to mix." Xiaoxiao looked at the vase of flowers on the mother's kang table. It was a horizontal branch of Bing Xin wax plums, accompanied by a short branch of Sandalwood wax plums, which were inserted in a black glaze plum vase. Shan Niang has the talent for flower arrangement, and she would feel very artistic when she put the flowers casually.

"Although this wax plum is a purple sandalwood flower heart, it is not a sandalwood plum, but a tiger's hoof plum." Shan Niang patiently explained flower knowledge to her daughter. "Tiger hoof plum is slightly smaller than Qingkou plum, and the inner petals have red sandalwood stripes, just like tiger's hoof, so it is named."

"Oh~ So that's it." Xiaoxiao nodded, and once again gained knowledge from her mother. Her eyes stopped on the wax plum bottle, and then turned to the crystal flower bag on the flower table in the west. There were more than a dozen long-legged red-cheek roses. Because the red color on the petals was as deep as the rouge on the beauty's cheek, it was named "red cheeks".

Xiaoxiao said: "It is rare that roses have my mother's blue eyes, and they are actually offered up in bottles."

Shan Niang smiled: "The sparse and thin plump plum, the chrysanthemums, and the simple and natural wild flowers and grass, can all be put into the bottle. I only see the beautiful and pleasant color of this red cheek rose, unlike other red roses."

"It's easy to say. When spring comes, our family will plant some in the yard."

"The third master of the Wen family is intent and will send some flowers in a while, especially red roses." Ci Gu said with a smile.

"It's because my flower shop wants to stock up flowers from the Wen family, so I beg Brother Wen San to send it to me as soon as possible if I have a new product!" Xiaoxiao held two little Taoqi with coral yellow stamens on his head, and then paired with a bunch of coral-colored velvet tassels. "This red-cheek rose is very popular and has a long flowering period. Many families want to use it as the New Year's flowers this year!"

"When it comes to the New Year flowers, why don't your wife choose from the Wen family's flower bureau? It is said that only his family sells southern snow willows in the flower bureau in Kyoto." Ci Gu said.

Shan Niang was also interested when she heard this: "Now that she has a firm place in the fetus, it's time to go out and leave."

"Then I will accompany my mother!" Xiaoxiao saw that her mother rarely went out, so she naturally had to accompany her.

"Xiaoxiao has been coming and going these days, so she always has no time to relax. She just takes the opportunity to relax." Shan Niang also wanted her daughter to take the opportunity to take a break.

"Tomorrow's third day of the twelfth lunar month is the day to rest at school. I'll spend half a day with my mother!" Xiaoxiao said this, and couldn't let go of the magazine's work, so he decided to work overtime to review some manuscripts tonight, "Then I'll go to rest early! Let's go to Huajuzi tomorrow!"

Ci Gu sent Xiaoxiao out of the house, looked at him and walked away, then returned to the house and whispered to Shanniang: "It seems that it is not that Master Wen San."

Shan Niang also whispered: "I have only met those young masters in the Wen family, and I still can't tell who is who. How old is that Mr. Wen this year?"

"It is said that he is twenty-six or twenty-seven years old."

Shan Niang said half-opened her mouth, "This... is too much different from Xiaoxiao."

"Looking at the girl's appearance just now, it doesn't look like this Master Wen San." Ci Gu was a little guilty in her tone, "? "? Talking about pong meals? Praise the wall emu? Cherry? Shouting the gun and the mace, Nan is Xie's hard emblem? The glaze is Nan is Hao Xun's cow? The glaze is also a skill. The locust is instantly ox? The emperor's squid is quick to squid? The squid is closed? Lu Chuan Sang? Coriander vinegar mung?

"This is nothing, I believe Xiaoxiao's eyes are on people." Shan Niang stood in front of the window and saw Tang Qifan walking into the courtyard at dusk. She smiled unconsciously: "Xiaoxiao is only thirteen years old, so we are worried about these things."

"It's getting late, and it's time to get a hairpin in more than a year!" Ci Gu has always been a worrying life. "Who has an excellent brother in the family, we should also inquire about it quietly. When the girl is over fourteen years old, she should attend the flower banquet."

Shan Niang frowned slightly: "So, Xiaoxiao will get married in a few years? This... she feels like a big piece of her heart is empty."

"So you have to find a closet, and you can go back to your parents' home after two streets!" Ci Gu saw Qifan walking in, but she did not stop. "No matter what, you have to stay in Kyoto, just like our eldest young lady, you can go back to your parents' home every month, that's great!"

"Yes." Qifan actually nodded seriously.

...

Xiaoxiao returned to his room and smelled a fresh fruity fragrance as soon as he entered the door. He saw a large plate of fresh apples on the table. Ranbi stood beside the table with a pout, and for some reason he was unhappy.

"This apple smells good!" Xiaoxiao praised first, and then asked, "It's not the New Year and the festival. It's a few days before you arrive in Laba. Could it be that the kitchen asked you to help peel Laba's garlic so spicy that your eyes were so spicy?"

Ranbi saw that the girl came to persuade her in person, but she dared not get angry anymore, so she told the reason: "After the afternoon today, a group of Lingnan wine fruits were arrived in the mansion. The second and fifth houses received the letter first, and picked up all the Buddha-hand oranges. When the servants rushed over, only these local apples were left."

"Apples have their own fragrance, I like it very much." Xiaoxiao was too lazy to get angry with other house leaders, which was really not worth it.

"It is said that there are also some fruits sold in the Huaju. The girl will just choose some tomorrow." Xiao Dier also persuaded him.

Several people were talking in the room, and Eli lifted the thick curtains and came in, holding a long string of citrons with a smile: "Miss Wen sent someone to deliver it. I walked all the way through the yard, and everyone said it was fragrant!"

Indeed, when Goose Li walked into the door, he carried an extremely fresh and pleasant fragrance.

This is the first time Xiaoxiao saw the citrons mentioned in the book. He saw nine golden citrons in total, all of which were evenly shaped like oranges. They were wrapped with big red silk ropes, and long ears were tied under them, which were both fragrant and pleasant.

Ranbi and Xiao Dier also sniffed deeply: "It's both fragrant and sweet, and it smells better than those flowers!" Ranbi also said: "Who is on the night today? I'm blessed to be able to fall asleep by smelling such a fragrance!"

After Ranbi's reminder, Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Yes, hang this citron vein next to the bed tent. The smell is particularly sweet, and maybe it can help you sleep!"

Eli smiled and took out a letter: "This is a letter from Miss Wen to the girl. There is also a small wooden box here." After Xiaoxiao took the letter and the box, Eli went to the west with Ranbi to hang the citron, and the fragrance of fruit floated along the way.

Xiaoxiao looked at the letter from Xizi in her hand and saw a pair of fat goldfish with orange rose petals pressed on the envelope, which was particularly cute and funny.

When I met every day, I even wrote a letter to me. Xizi was becoming more and more romantic.

Unexpectedly, there was a small envelope in the big envelope. The small envelope was snow-white and only the four words "Yingyuan Qinqi" were written on it. The font was simple and indifferent, and it was the word Wen Xixiu.

Xiaoxiao didn't look at it immediately, but walked from the main room to the study room in the east and saw a bunch of wax plum blossom branches inserted into the blue and white porcelain vase on the desk. He couldn't help but ask, "Who is this flower here?"

Xiao Dier didn't know why the girl asked this question for a while, so she said bluntly: "It was because the goose pear blossomed so well that she thought the girl would like it..."

"I like it very much, I appreciate her." Xiaoxiao sat at the desk with the envelope. Seeing that Bing Xin Waxmei was inserted in the vase, she couldn't help but smile slightly, accompanied by the fragrance, and then spread the letter paper in her hand.

The letter was written very thickly, and he talked about the fragrance and smelling along the way. The language was plain and concise, as if Wen Xixiu was sitting in front of him, wearing plain clothes, and talking lightly.

More than two months have passed since the third day of September to today.

From late autumn to the middle of winter, Wen Xixiu's pen still dyed various fragrances from the chrysanthemums in the ancient temple of Jindi, to the pomegranates in Chang'an City, from the wild lilies in the mountains of Ningxia, to the fragrance of the Western Regions to the surprising Turkic roses... and even the distant atmosphere emitted by the poplar forest when it is covered with white snow.

Wen Xixiu and his two apprentices searched for fragrance all the way, made fragrance all the way, and carried simple distilled vessels with them, constantly exploring and studying the flavors worth retaining.

Xiaoxiao opened the small wooden box, which was neatly arranged in rows of small glass bottles, each with small labels on it: wild lilies, Turkic roses, poplar in the snow, ice grapes, jujube orchard after the rain, and a cloak dyed with the smell of baked walnuts...

Through the transparent bottle, you can smell all kinds of natural breaths there, whether it is the fragrance of flowers, fruits, or the smell obtained through perception.

It seemed as if the perfumer had suddenly broken through the shackles of many years and reached the other side of the true meaning of the smell.

The bottle that Xiaoxiao chose was "the window lattice of the temple in the morning". First, the faint morning dew breath hit the tip of his nose, and then the fresh air of ancient cypresses. Soon a lingering incense aura rose, and the familiar smell of Canaan fragrant beads that had always accompanied all the canaanite fragrance. It should be the incense beads that Wen Xixiu wore all year round, and he did not forget to add this smell.
