186: You need to practice, so provoking is the best strategy 186: You guys need to practice, so provoking is the best strategy

Before the person came closer, he asked about the strong aroma of rouge. Although the aroma was strong, it was not vulgar. Zi Jin knew that it was ground with fine spices. Girls from high-ranking families all had a layer of spices.

After layers of sifting, it is finally ground. Just like Zijin, although the fragrance on its body is very light, it does not dissipate. If you smell it carefully, you will always have that faint fragrance. This is what the best spices can make.

The price is naturally extremely expensive. The price of a box of spices can be worth an average person's chewing for half a year.

With a slight sniff in Zijin's nose, he knew it was Princess Shouyang's plum blossom fragrance, seven liang of agarwood, five liang of stacked incense, four liang of chicken tongue, two liang each of sandalwood and musk, six qian of patchouli, and four liang of tong incense.

Qian, two qian of armor incense (made by law), and a little bit of dipterocarp incense. Pound the powder into fine powder, refine the honey and mix well, and make the balls as big as beans. Such a strong plum blossom fragrance should be smoked on the clothes with spices on the smoker.

Then he put a sachet on his body. Zi Jin looked over casually, and sure enough he saw a sachet covered with red peonies and brocade on the strange woman. Standing next to the girl was Luo Jue, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and the one from last time.

Yan Ci, who got angry, didn't have to think twice to guess that this person was Sun Jinhua. He was not very beautiful, but his eyes were very seductive and charming.

"I didn't expect Third Young Madam and Miss Qin to be here. What a coincidence. We were also looking for a place to enjoy the lotus. Sister Yan said that this place is the best place to enjoy the scenery." Luo Jue looked at it with a smile.

Qin Suxue said to Zi Jin.

Zi Jin looked at Luo Jue's happy face, and never thought that she was so calm at this time. Luo Jue was always a very stable person, but now that she has an evil mother-in-law suppressing her after getting married, she may have become more stable.

Zi Jin stood up and said with a smile: "Mrs. Qi, long time no see. Speaking of which, we are also old acquaintances. How are you doing recently?"

Yan Ci, who was on the side, replied without waiting for Luo Jue to answer: "It seems that we all love the scenery. If Sister Qin and the Third Young Lady don't mind us being noisy, would you be willing to enjoy the scenery together?"

Yan Ci is the host. After all, she has to be courteous and considerate on the surface and cannot be pinched by others. Zi Jin smiled and said: "It's up to you to do as you please. We are guests. Miss Yan is the host. Just make your own decisions. I

It’s okay.”

Qin Suxue also smiled lightly and said: "It's better to meet by chance than to invite me. It's really fate. Please sit down."

Everyone slowly sat down. Zi Jin sat on the south railing, his arms gently resting on the guardrail, with a faint smile on his lips, his eyes on the lotus pond, as if he was really there.

Enjoy the scenery.

Luo Jue sat on the east railing closest to Zi Jin, and the distance between them was only an arm's length away. Sun Jinhua had a grudge against Yan Ci and sat next to Luo Jue. Yan Ci saw that only

There was no one around Qin Suxue and Zi Jin, but to be by Zi Jin's side would block Qin Suxue's view of the lotus. So she had no choice but to sit next to Qin Suxue. The five of them were speechless for a while, which was a bit embarrassing.

, Yan Ci called over his maid to serve tea.

The girls were flowing in an endless stream. After finishing their work, Yan Ci smiled and said, "What a coincidence. This is the lotus tea made by my mother. Can you still taste it after you try it?"

When Yan Ci said this, Sun Jinhua immediately smiled and said: "The things my aunt made are naturally excellent. I still remember the plum blossom tea she made last time."

Luo Jue took a sip and smiled lightly: "The taste is mellow, and the tea has the fragrance of lotus leaves. It is most suitable to drink this kind of tea in summer. Auntie's craftsmanship is as good as ever."

Zi Jin and Qin Suxue glanced at each other, then they both gently picked up the tea cup, put it to their lips and took a sip. Zi Jin was very careful, and just touched his lips slightly to make a drinking gesture. After putting down the tea cup, he also took a sip.

He took out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his lips, thus wiping away the water stains on his lips.

Zi Jin didn't dare to use the things brought by this group of people. Who knows if there might be something inappropriate in it. It is only proper to sail a ten thousand year boat with caution. Putting down the tea cup, Zi Jin smiled and said: "I

I’m not proficient in tea ceremony, but it’s a little different from ordinary tea when I drink it. It has a lotus fragrance and a novel taste.”

Qin Suxue also echoed: "I didn't expect Mrs. Anshun Hou to have such a skill. It is really an excellent thing. The lotus leaf clears fire. It is best to use it at this time."

Yan Ci was slightly proud and said: "My mother likes tea the most, and she also likes to make some scented tea with her own taste. It's okay to change the taste occasionally."

The breeze was refreshing and the lotus fields were fragrant. Such a beautiful scenery was unfortunately surrounded by a group of people like this. Zi Jin felt it was a pity, and it would be rude not to get up and leave. At this time, he was looking forward to Mr. Chu or Mr. Shen coming to take care of him.

It's a pity that one of the two people must be with his natal sister-in-law, and the other must be hiding out like himself. If it is really unrealistic to expect them to fish him out, Zi Jin is determined.

I made up my mind to talk less and speak less. I stared at the lotus pond more and more fascinated. I even noticed that there was an ant circling back and forth on the lotus leaf. I just didn’t know what happened to this ant.

When I arrived at this flower pond, I felt a little fascinated for a while.

Zi Jin wanted to hide quietly, but she was afraid that some people would not want to sit like this. The first person who couldn't help it was Sun Qing's biological sister, Sun Jinhua, who had just been beaten by Ye Mingxuan and couldn't get out of bed for three days.

"I heard that the third young lady was attacked on the day she returned home. I wonder if it is true? When I heard the news at that time, I was really frightened. I didn't expect that there would be such a bold and arrogant person at the feet of the emperor, the most virtuous place.

The third young lady is not shocked, right?" Sun Jinhua looked at Zi Jin's pretty face that contrasted with the lotus flowers in the distance, and the expression on his face was a little cold.

Zi Jin slowly came back to his senses, raised his eyes and looked at Sun Jinhua gently, his eyes were very light, as if Sun Jinhua was as unweighted as the dust suspended in the air. Everyone in the pavilion looked at Zi Jin at this time,

Zi Jin was being watched by everyone, and for a moment he had a strange feeling in his heart. Zi Jin didn't seem to be looking at Sun Jinhua, but as if he was looking at some unimportant object. But this couldn't be criticized.

But the vague feeling of contempt can still be felt deeply.

From birth to growing up, Sun Jinhua was always held in the palm of someone's hand and pampered and raised. When did someone look at her with such contemptuous eyes? She was so angry that her face turned green for a while, but she couldn't have an attack. She had an attack on her own.

It's like it's confirmed something.

Zi Jin looked at Sun Jinhua's livid face, still expressionless with a faint smile, but said in her heart, Girl, your Taoism is still shallow, do you know what this is called? This is aura, my aunt didn't say a word,

Just a look can make you furious. You want to show off your skills to make yourself look embarrassed. Luo Jue is much smarter than you. He already knows how to use a trick with me first to hide his sword in a smile. Learn from it.

After about five or six breaths, Zi Jin broke the somewhat stiff silence and said slowly: "What Miss Sun said is exactly what she said. It's really shocking that such a thing can happen at the foot of the emperor, the most virtuous place."

People are horrified. But Miss Sun should ask Brother Ling about this matter."

Sun Jinhua's direct brother Sun Qing, the one who was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed, was the deputy commander of the Wucheng Bingma Division. What did the Wucheng Bingma Division do? He was responsible for the security of Kyoto, the fire ban and the

Cleaning the canals and streets, etc., so the kidnapping in Kyoto was a major public security case. Sun Jinhua actually ridiculed Zi Jin like this, but he didn't know that this was his brother's jurisdiction. He did not humiliate Zi Jin, but

She threw her brother into the pit, and then was kicked hard by Zi Jin, who climbed up from the bottom of the pit to the edge.

She was trying to make Zi Jin look bad, but Zi Jin got in the way. Sun Jinhua suddenly became angry and was about to speak, but she heard Luo Jue come to her rescue and said: "Mrs. Third Young Master may not know.

That day, Young Master Sun was sleeping at home, so even if he had the intention, he would not be able to support him."

Luo Jue was extremely smart. He changed the topic and traveled thousands of miles away, completely brushing off Sun Qing. This ability was indeed much higher than that of Sun Jinhua.

But... Zi Jin looked at Luo Jue and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Yongshun's mansion is on good terms with Liang Guogong's mansion, but I didn't expect that after Mrs. Qi got married, she would still know about the day when the young master Sun rested.

Mu is at home, she really has a good relationship with the whole family, and she even knows this."

Luo Jue's expression changed instantly, and Zi Jin almost didn't say, you two must have some dirty secrets, otherwise how would you, a married young woman, know about a man who has not yet married.

Luo Jue calmed down in the blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "Just as the third young lady said, we are the best of the family. Besides, if there is no accident for the official Xiu Mu, life will basically not change, so I

It’s not surprising to know.”

Zi Jin nodded and said meaningfully: "I see, Mrs. Qi has such a good memory that she actually knows that the day I will return home is the same day as Master Sun's break."

This makes people even more suspicious. Everyone knows that Luo Jue likes Ye Mingxuan. Sun Jinhua provokes the first, and Luo Jue saves Sun Jinhua's face later. Luo Jue's reaction is indeed fast, but Zi Jin's counterattack is even higher.

This is asking Luo Jue, are you unable to let go of Ye Mingxuan, so you know the day when our couple will return home, or are you concerned about Sun Qing remembering this day so well?

No matter which answer he gave, Luo Jue would be misunderstood.

Zi Jin has never been an easy clay doll to pinch. If you want to pinch me, don't blame me for having thorns on my body. So if I prick you, you asked for it.

Luo Jue frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, Zi Jin became more and more difficult to deal with. Sun Jinhua and Yan Ci were both shocked. Although they had heard Luo Jue say that Yao Zijin was an extremely sharp-tongued person, they did not let it go.

In my heart, I just said a few words to attract others. Before the brick hit the ground, Zi Jin threw it back ten times and hit them hard. This agile skill and full strength

, which really shocked Sun Jinhua and Yan Ci.

Yan Ci recalled the last time she was at Princess Xuanhe's mansion. She originally thought that Zi Jin might have been instructed by the eldest princess to be able to rescue the enemy in such a decent manner. But now it seems that she was really wrong.

The three of them looked at each other and felt shocked.

Qin Suxue was also startled, and felt a little admiration for Zi Jin. Every time they met, there was a surprise, and the smile on her face couldn't help spreading. Although it was faint, it was for Zi Jin.

Cheers.

Luo Jue regained his composure, looked at Zi Jin and said, "It's not that I have a good memory, but everyone knows about the robbery of the Third Young Madam. Whenever I mention that day, even if I forget something, I will remember it."

This statement is not acceptable, but... Zi Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, with a layer of frost on his face, and he stared at Luo Jue and said: "Is it possible that Mrs. Qi didn't have a good rest last night? Since you said it was an important

Today, such an important thing happened again, you must know the truth of the matter, right?"

Luo Jue stared at Zi Jin and said with a smile: "Everyone knows this in the streets and alleys."

"In this case, Mrs. Qi knew that the person who was kidnapped was my maid, could it be that she made an unintentional mistake and said it was me, and she didn't know what her intentions were? If this is the case, this unintentional mistake is really hard to agree with.

Mrs. Qi can't remember such a simple thing. From now on, Mrs. Qi will entrust you with the Zhongzhi. She really has to think about it." Zi Jin sneered, and only then did she feel deeply that those two girls

Her actions that day really benefited her a lot. Shui Rong, don't worry, I will find a good in-law for you and I will never wrong you.

"The third young lady is so excited. Could it be that the rumors are true and that the one who was kidnapped was not a maid..." Before Sun Jinhua could finish her words, Zi Jin picked up the tea cup in front of her and threw it at Sun Jinhua's feet without thinking.

, staining her and her exquisite embroidered shoes and skirt.

Sun Jinhua jumped up suddenly, trembling with anger, pointed at Zi Jin and said angrily: "What are you doing? You are really an uncultured concubine, you actually do such unruly things in public."

"It's such a pity. I shouldn't have been so soft and poured a cup of tea on the ground. I should have poured it directly into your mouth and asked you to rinse your mouth before you spoke." Zi Jin said softly, putting the tea away.

Putting it down, he added: "Miss Sun is already sixteen years old this year, and she still refuses to get married. It turns out that I never believed that Miss Sun had a secret love, but now it seems that it is true."

"You...what are you talking about?" Sun Jinhua's face turned red, and the fingers pointing at Zi Jin were shaking.

"What nonsense? How could it be possible? Miss Sun didn't say that the rumors were true just now. Where did I say something wrong?" Zi Jin narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Sun Jinhua was so angry that she couldn't speak. The rumor she was talking about was referring to Zi Jin's robbery. What does it have to do with her? And how could she have a private relationship with anyone... Thinking of this, Sun Jinhua said angrily: "You

You ruined my reputation. If you don't apologize to me today, I will never end it with you. Tell me, where did you hear...heard...such nonsense!"

After all, she is a girl who has not yet left the court. How can she talk about such dirty words as having an affair? Sun Jinhua’s face turned red as blood, but she still stared at Zi Jin. She couldn’t help but chop Zi Jin into pieces and feed them to the fish.

, with a ferocious expression on his face.

Zi Jin was not in a hurry, his face was as gentle as ever, he raised his eyes, and then said: "Why don't you, Miss Sun, explain where you heard the rumors from, and make it clear who was the witness of being raped.
