Not far outside the palace courtyard, there is a mansion with a very large area.
The courtyards and pavilions in the mansion are staggered and intertwined, reflecting the extraordinary status of the residents.
This mansion is the residence of Qin Shubao, the current protector of the Tang Dynasty.
The girl in red rode her horse and rushed into the mansion.
The maids and servants came forward early and took the horses away to take care of them. Then the girl walked non-stop, leading the way to a hall.
"Second Miss, the master said...Second Miss, are you okay?"
"I see."
"Second Miss, the madam said...Second Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"I understand, you go and do your work first..."
The girl's face was extremely flushed, she looked alluring, but also a little scary, and she quickly walked into the hall with staggering steps.
The moment he entered, although his eyes were dim, he saw what was going on inside.
My heart suddenly thumped.
There was a table full of dishes, but not a single bite was touched. The glass of wine offered to my father was also untouched.
Qin Qiong closed her eyes and rested, obviously waiting for her daughter to come back.
Qin Ruochan's heart was racing and she whispered, "Dad...I, I'm back..."
"Well, I know I've made some progress since I came back."
…
Qin Qiong still closed her eyes to rest her mind, but her words were clearly angry!
"Dad, my daughter today..."
"I know, I just went out to have a good time with my friends. But I didn't come back until this time..."
"Dad, my daughter seems...unsteady on her feet..."
"Um?!"
Qin Qiong opened her eyes in confusion, and then saw her daughter Qin Ruochan, whose face was as red as blood.
Holding on to the chair, I finally sat down slowly, and then...
I just lay down on the table and fell asleep...
Smelling of alcohol!
…
Qin Qiong was stunned, "My dear daughter, what happened? Why do you... smell of alcohol?"
At this time, Qin Qiong's wife, Mrs. Li, walked in, "You, today is your birthday, why are you angry with your daughter again... Ruochan, what's wrong with you?!"
In an instant, the parents gathered together, but Qin Ruochan couldn't even salute. She was thankful to God that she could ride back.
Qin Ruochan really didn't expect that the pot of wine was so strong!
Qin Qiong was simply stupid.
My daughter ran out to play and disappeared. When she came back, she smelled of alcohol.
This is absolutely unacceptable to any father.
"You kid..."
Qin Qiong was worried and angry at the same time.
"You are already sixteen, so you are about to get married, and you still have no rules! If you get married in the future, will you have to fool around every day?"
"...Dad...my daughter accidentally fell down today, please...please dad don't worry, tomorrow..."
"Tomorrow my daughter will definitely find the place in person... in person..."
After saying that, he lay down and stopped moving.
Qin Qiong directly covered her face.
Qin Huaiyu is useless in raising a son by himself, so his daughter is just like that, even wilder than his son.
Can I still live this life?
If he knew who got his daughter drunk, he would literally skin that person alive.
Ms. Li had no choice but to keep comforting her husband.
…
Early next morning.
Qin Ruochan wiped her face and finally woke up.
Looking at the girl in the dressing table, I felt a wave of fear in my heart.
I usually drink with my female companions,
Looking at the whole of Chang'an, it is also an invincible existence.
I usually practice swordsmanship, archery and horse training, and my martial arts skills are even better than those of my brother Qin Huaiyu, but my physical strength is not comparable to that of a group of young ladies.
Only a little worse than his father Qin Qiong!
But yesterday I had a glass of wine...
For the first time in my life, I truly experienced what it means to live in a state of drunkenness and dream of death...
If that person has evil intentions, he might lose his virginity yesterday...
How could she not be afraid?
I don’t know what kind of craftsmanship this person used to brew his wine...
Based on this, it seems that this man’s drinking capacity is worse than his father’s?
In the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as an alcohol lamp.
Alcohol, or things containing alcohol, can only be regarded as a drink in this era.
Qin Ruochan's heart suddenly surged with infinite curiosity!
Bang!
"Yesterday I was unprepared, but I fell into this man's trap... No, I have to find my place no matter what I say today!"
Qin Ruochan quickly packed up and prepared to go out.
But at this moment, the maid ran into the room and said, "Second Miss, Duke E Guo..."
"I see."
Qin Ruochan took another breath and remembered that today...it seems like she's not free yet.
A group of little sisters went out to play with me.
In this case... let's talk about it another day!
Soon, he left the room.
…
"Perfume? What is perfume?"
"I don't know, but Sister Chai bought a few bottles this morning and gave me one as a gift. Ruochan, you will know after you smell it!"
Qin Ruochan took a small porcelain vase from her female companion.
This small porcelain bottle was somewhat similar to a wine jar. Qin Ruochan pulled out the cork and brought it to her nose to smell it.
When she went out that day, she planned to go on an outing with a group of female companions.
After all, winter has only passed half a month, the sun is shining brightly on this day, and the scenery is not to be missed.
But when I smelled this perfume, I was suddenly surprised.
"What is this? It smells so good!"
"It smells good, doesn't it? This perfume is more fragrant than the Royal Garden where sister Changle lives!"
"It's really...god."
It's not that Qin Ruochan has never seen spices. In fact, this kind of thing has been popular in China since the Warring States Period.
The smoke is slanting and the fog is horizontal, and the peppers and orchids are burning!
Qin Ruochan was born in the Duke Protector's Palace, so naturally there were similar things in the palace.
But it was the first time she smelled such a fragrant fragrance, like orchid and musk deer.
This fragrance is simply far superior to the ambergris in the palace.
"Where did you buy this? Why don't we go and have a look too?"
"Sister Chai said that a shop opened in the west of the city this morning, and they sell this perfume. I'm going out for an outing today, why not go to the west of the city to take a look?"
"...Okay, let's go right now!"
Qin Ruochan had a strange feeling.
Yesterday's liquor again, today's perfume again.
I don’t know when Chang’an started to become more and more prosperous?
…
"Don't move this box here yet. Give them the goods over there. Young Master, help move this..."
Shop in the west of the city.
The name of the shop is Zicheng Zhai!
This is exactly the shop Li Sheng sent Ying'er to open in Chang'an.
In this store, the top product sold is perfume. There are no more Li Sheng's other works on the shelves for the time being.
But even if it's just perfume, its quality is far superior to any aromatherapy product available today.
As the saying goes, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, let alone a perfume that specializes in "smell".
As soon as it opened this early in the morning, Zichengzhai was immediately packed!
It opened less than 10 minutes ago, and at first only a few women stopped curiously.
But the backlog quickly built up, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a huge crowd of people.
Only then did Li Sheng realize that Ying'er had deliberately chosen the first day of the new year to open the business, which was also a day when the Tang Dynasty's daughters would go shopping.
This made Li Sheng keenly feel that it was better to leave specific matters to the natives of this time and space...
At this time, Qin Ruochan also came to the gate of Zichengzhai.
