Chapter 248

So, early the next morning, Qin Jiu visited the Duan Wang Mansion again.

“Xiao Jiu.” As soon as Duan Wang Fei Duan saw Qin Jiu, she just smiled happily and asked her to have tea and snacks.

Qin Jiu smilingly answered “yes” and ate whatever Wangfei told her to eat at the same time, she also looked at Duan Wang Fei calmly and found that her complexion was much better than last time and was secretly relieved.

Qin Jiu asked not battling an eyelid, “Wangfei, are you feeling better?”

“I’m much better.” Duan Wang Fei said with a smile, feeling very flattered by her future daughter-in-law’s concern.

Qin Jiu smiled, “That’s good.”

Wang momo on the side couldn’t help but interfere.

“The physician from Jishitang really lives up to his name, the medicine he prescribed is very effective. Wangfei was fine after she drink it in a few days.”

As if joking, Wangs momo continued to grumble and complain.

“Those imperial physicians only prescribe medications that stabilize wangfei but did not dare use permanent solutions causing wangfei’s illness to prolong instead.”

Seeing that their wangfei was already in good health, the servants serving wangfei in her courtyard were relieved, and all of them were in good spirits

Qin Jiu took a sip of tea, smiled, and said, “Duan Wang Fei, I was reading the Imperial Incense Manual recently, it is said there that many incenses have the effect of calming the mind, particularly Jiuhe incense. So, I used it for several days, and felt that I slept better at night.”

Speaking of this topic, Duan Wang Fei Duan became enthusiastic.

“This Jiuhe incense was obtained by a monk from the state of Bogo whom I met occasionally when I went to offer incense once in September. Once upon a time, I had only heard of its name but never used it, and it was only by chance that I got three boxes.”

“This incense is fresh and exquisite. I also like it so much that I lit it day after day.”

Qin Jiu was momentarily stunned, and then mentally estimated how many sticks were in a box.

If Duan Wang Fei Duan had previously used it day after day, then that means one of the three boxes of Jiuhe incense had already been used, and only two boxes were left.

And since wangfei gave the remaining two boxes to her, that means in the past few days wangfei should have used fewer sticks in a day or none at all.

The smile on Qin Jiu’s face deepened.

She continued to chat with Duan Wang Fei, talking about some well-known incense, and later even patted her chest and promised Duan Wang Fei that she would let her try her handmade incense next time.

Since her golden thigh said he would handle this, then she could rest assured!!

As they spoke, the two had arrived at the entrance to the garden of the Duan residence.

Once in the garden, a plum forest appeared at the end of the cobblestone path, and a large continuous white plum, pink plum, and red plum stood wafting the surrounding with plum fragrance, there were also blossoming pink-carved jade-like flowers on both sides of the path.

“The plum blossoms in wangfu’s mansion are blooming so well!” Qin Jiu praised sincerely.

The plum forest of the Duan Wangfu was at least twice as big as the Qin family’s plum forest, reflecting the small lake next to it and the surrounding snow-capped mountains that were as beautiful as a painting.

Qin Jiu stepped forward in two to three steps and stood on tiptoe as she raised her hand to grasp the red plum on the branch, and her little face leaned up slightly as if to take a whiff.

However——

“Crack.”

She snapped the red plum branch off neatly.

Her movements affected the entire branch causing the snow that was covering the branch rustled down, and the blossoming red plums on the branch trembled slightly as if shivering in the cold wind.

Gu Zezhi: “....”

Du Ruo: “....”

Du Ruo looked at Qin Jiu from afar and could hardly bear to see Gu Zezhi’s expression at the moment.

Young Miss how can you pick plum blossom like that, you destroyed the whole branch!

“Brother, are these plum blossoms blooming well?”

Qin Jiu plucked a red plum twig and gave it to Gu Zezhi, thinking that even if it couldn’t be used for tea, it would be good to put it in a vase.

“Well, it’s blooming well.”

Gu Zezhi nodded with a smile and took the red plum, coincidentally the wind blew, and the faint scent of plum burrowed into his nose.

Qin Jiu smiled even more cheerfully, feeling as if she had been praised, and happily carried her little basket and continued to pick plum blossoms.

She picked the flowers to her liking, and when she saw the plum branch that looked good with its flowers she would carefully break the branch into smaller ones, so after breaking five to six branches her basket was already full.

The two returned to the house.
