Qixiangzi

Chapter 1

"The poem says: Clothes and brocades are still bright, and the writings of his writing are also hated. Therefore, the way of a gentleman is eclipsed by the day; the way of a villain is lost by the sun..."

The refreshing sound of reciting books adds a touch of charm to the rural fields full of spring.The sound of the poem seemed to have magical powers, and the villagers passing by couldn't help but stop and listen carefully, even though they couldn't understand it, they still wanted to absorb that bit of elegance.I don't know if they are listening to the book or the voice.

"Qilun, are you working hard again?" The village woman carrying a load of water appeared in sight, put down the burden on her shoulders, wiped off the sweat, and called out kindly to the person who was studying on the thatched roof of her house, "Should I Take a rest, go to aunt's back room and have a meal, Qi Lun."

The sound of books suddenly stopped.

"Don't worry, Aunt Wang, I've already eaten." After speaking, a delicate figure fell from the thatched roof, and landed heavily on the ground, splashing a lot of plaster.

The landed boy has delicate features and a faint fragrance from his body; if it weren't for the civilian clothes on his body that showed his status as a commoner, people who saw him might have thought that he was a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

Aunt Wang covered her mouth to cover some dust, frowned and said, "You are not old or young, how many times have I told you, don't jump down like this, if you accidentally drop your arms and hands, that's terrible." How amazing!"

"Qi Lun is so big, he can withstand falling." Qi Lun's joke made Aunt Wang helpless.Aunt Wang looked at the boy in front of her carefully, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.He is obviously a boy, but he has a delicate face like a woman, and the one with thin arms and legs looks weaker than a woman; what makes women jealous most is Qi Lun's natural fragrance.Sometimes it is the strong fragrance of hundreds of flowers, and sometimes it is the fragrance of hundreds of herbs, which is always fascinating.Much more intoxicating than those rouge vulgar fans.

Aunt Wang is a farmer's wife with little knowledge, but she also loves fragrance.

The incense carried by Qi Lun seems to be a living sign. There are many plants in this mountain, it is Qi Lun's paradise.He can use the fragrance of flowers and plants to make natural rouge powder, and then entrust it to Aunt Wang to sell in the lanes of those brothels and teahouses, which is very profitable.Since selling incense, I don't know how many women have come to ask for incense, but they have been turned away repeatedly.

The reason is simple, Qi Lun wants to study and has no time.

Aunt Wang sold Qi Lun's rouge powder and made money, so she wanted to support this ancestor.He is also buying books, making clothes and delivering meals for him, and he will never let Qi Lun stand next to him in the cold.

"By the way, Aunt Wang, have you sold out the rouge powder I gave you last time?" Qi Lun rolled up the book in his hand and stuffed it around his waist, rubbing his hands together and asked.

Aunt Wang nodded, reached out and took out a bag of money from her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Miss Ling and the others like it very much, and said that since you put on the incense made by you, more guests have come."

Qi Lun smiled, his immature face seemed to bloom.

"These are scraps of silver, keep them." Aunt Wang stuffed the money bag into Qi Lun's hands, and Qi Lun hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, saying, "Aunt Wang, you really are, this is your money in the first place."

"Joke, where would the money come from without your incense. Every time you hand over the money you earned, I feel embarrassed, and I really dare not take more." Aunt Wang and Qi Lun pushed and shoved.

Qi Lun pushed the money bag back to Aunt Wang, and said anxiously: "Aunt Wang, you really are, you have provided me with food and drink all these years, and I don't know how to repay you. You, you are making me hard to be a man !"

Qi Lun's words made Aunt Wang speechless for a while, feeling a little guilty.Isn't it just for money that I sacrificed to this ancestor? Ren Qilun seemed a little embarrassed when he said this.

Arguing without words, Aunt Wang could only purse her lips and put away her purse, feeling secretly embarrassed.

Qi Lun smiled "hehe", turned around and picked up the basket at the door, put it in front of Aunt Wang, stretched out his finger and said, "This is the rouge powder I just made, it's already packed, please go there in a few days Send it to them."

Aunt Wang nodded, and bent slightly to lift up the white gauze in the basket, wanting to see the finished product.

As soon as it was opened, a burst of intoxicating mellow fragrance came to the nostrils, so that Aunt Wang couldn't help but close her eyes, and greedily took a few more mouthfuls to enjoy.

The rouge box in the basket is simple but elegant, and it is very suitable for decorating rouge.

These exquisite boxes were all made by Aunt Wang and her eldest daughter-in-law, for the sake of incense and a stack of money.

"Aunt Wang, here are two boxes for you and sister-in-law." Qi Lun pointed to two of the boxes in the basket.Aunt Wang covered the white gauze with a smile, covered her mouth and said cheerfully, "It's really hard for you."

"That's what it should be, by the way, Aunt Wang. My family's books are almost finished, and please go to the city to help me bring back a few copies." Qi Lun rubbed his head and begged with a smile.Aunt Wang waved her hand with a look of "no problem".

Qi Lun breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "The rouge box will trouble you and sister-in-law, I should go back now."

Aunt Wang nodded with a smile, her eyes were like crescent moons, and her eyes could hardly be separated from the rouge in the basket.Qi Lun left quickly with disapproval.

This hut is Aunt Wang's house, Qilun's house, on the mountain.

It was a very simple house, which was originally built by Aunt Wang's husband, Wang Shi, as a temporary shelter in case of rain or other emergencies when going up the mountain to cut firewood.Because Qi Lun liked it, he made it into a Xiaojia and gave it to Qi Lun.

Speaking of the story of Qi Lun and Wang Shi, it was also a few years ago...

Qi Lun is a broken child picked up by Wang Shi.

On that day, Wang Shi still got up early and went up the mountain to cut firewood and grab some medicinal herbs to buy and sell. When he was about to go down the mountain in the evening, he suddenly saw a broken child squatting under a tree in a daze on the mountain path, with a blank expression on his face.

Asked him that he didn't know anything, he only knew that his name was Qi Lun.This made Wang Shi feel very strange, and what made Wang Shi feel even more strange was that the child was filthy, but there was a strange fragrance floating on his body, which made people's hearts flutter.

Wang Shi, who was suspicious, guessed that maybe a girl from a brothel in the city accidentally gave birth to a child, and threw it away after several years of raising her.And that aroma is probably brought by living in the brothel for a long time.

Wang Shiben was a soft-hearted and honest man, and he liked children, so he couldn't bear to see him alone in this cold weather, so he took him home, but was beaten by Aunt Wang. scolded.

It's not that there is no money to pay for it, it's just that Aunt Wang finds it troublesome.

The fragrance on Qi Lun's body always accompanied him all the time, which disgusted Aunt Wang.In addition, Qi Lun has been ignorant, like a depressed child who can't speak, which is really annoying.Later, Qi Lun learned how to make rouge from somewhere, and made some rouge for Aunt Wang.The rouge made by Qi Lun is very fragrant and high-end, which makes Aunt Wang treat him a little better.

One day, Qi Lun suddenly said that he was going up the mountain, saying that there were many flowers and plants on the mountain, and he thought that he could use those flowers and plants to make rouge powder to make money.This is a risky idea, there are many snakes, scorpions and ferocious beasts on the mountain, Wang Shi naturally disagrees.But Aunt Wang agreed very much, and persuaded him to live on the mountain, where there happened to be a hut.Qi Lun readily agreed, but Wang Shi had no choice but to repair a broken hut he made on the mountainside a few times and pack it up for Qi Lun to live in.

After staying here, Qi Lun really made rouge in the mountains, and entrusted it to Aunt Wang to sell it in the city, making a lot of money.The girls love the fragrant rouge powder very much, and they are vying to buy it.As a result, the rouge powder made by Qi Lun will be sold out immediately, making those colleagues' teeth itch with anger.

Qi Lun has no worries about food and clothing in the mountains, and he is very leisurely. He reads, writes, and cultivates flowers and plants in his free time.A small house is full of exotic flowers and plants, and the people in the village can't help but sigh: no one in this world loves flowers and plants more than Qi Lun.
