With such an episode, Wang Qin'er was too embarrassed to ask Xie Rongzhao to take her with him.
When they had lunch together, Chen Jiaojiao noticed that Xie Rongzhao was in a bad mood, so she walked with her to eat.
"That Wang Qin'er is too bad. How can she be like this? A fifth-grade official is too young! Huh, I know her reason for coming. She just wants to go to Dingguo Duke's Mansion with me, but... You can't just slander Uncle Wang like this just to achieve your own goals! If I were Uncle Wang, how chilling it would be to hear this."
Wang Jin only had two concubines in total, and the rest were all legitimate children. He had no concubines, and Xu Ruyi did not like to treat the concubines harshly, so the Wang family was quite harmonious.
He probably wouldn't have thought that his eldest concubine would say such chilling words.
Chen Jiaojiao advised: "Forget it, now that you know what kind of person she is, it's good that we don't care about her. For people with such bad conduct, we will have less contact with her in the future."
"Sister-in-law is right, I won't pay attention to people like this from now on. I'll tell the concierge later, and the next time she comes alone, she will say that I went out and was not at home."
Chen Jiaojiao laughed out loud: "You are childish too! Do you want to bring a gift to Miss Wang?"
"Hmm, I have a new set of notebooks, and I plan to give them to her."
The writing pads used by girls are naturally different from those used by scholars.
The ones used by girls are either made of flowers, grass, or various beauties, and the colors are also more gorgeous.
Chen Jiaojiao thinks this gift is okay. They are good friends anyway, and they don't pay attention to these external things in their daily interactions.
"I've made a new incense. If you think it's okay, please take it with you."
Xie Rongzhao's eyes immediately lit up: "Really? What flavor does sister-in-law make? Let's try it now?"
Chen Jiaojiao smiled and agreed, treating her as her sister.
Chen Jiaojiao's newly prepared incense has a little bit of peach sweetness, which is very suitable for little girls to use in their homes.
Xie Rongzhao simply accompanied her to do it, and before the banquet, she got two small boxes.
"What's the name of the fragrance in my sister-in-law's house? It smells like agarwood, and there seems to be a fragrance of tea?"
"You have a sharp nose, and it does smell like tea. However, this fragrance is more troublesome to make. Let's make it together when we have more time in the future."
"OK!"
Only then did Xie Rongzhao remember that his sister-in-law's dowry included a shop specializing in aromatherapy, and it seemed like the business was pretty good.
Wang Yinuo couldn't put it down when he saw the complete set of notes she brought over.
"It's so beautiful. Look at the color. I like it so much! Zhaozhao really understands me best."
Xie Rongzhao raised his chin and said with a proud look on his face: "Does this mean I understand you? Let me show you something good again!"
Chen Xia presented the small box, and Xie Rongzhao opened it, revealing the incense stick inside.
"My sister-in-law and I worked hard to make this together. We only got two small boxes in total. I brought you one box. Am I generous enough?"
"Generous! So generous!"
Even without lighting this incense, you could smell the slightest hint of peach, which made Wang Yinuo even more curious.
"Quick, take this off and let's replace it."
Wang Yinuo's temperament is also somewhat fiery.
When Zhao Ying came over, she smelled this novel and sweet smell as soon as she entered the room.
"What kind of incense is this? It smells so good! Is this new?"
Wang Yinuo said with a proud look on his face: "Not bad, right? This was specially given to me by Zhaozhao. She said that this fragrance is not available on the market yet. She and Sister-in-law Chen came up with it together."
Zhao Ying was unhappy after hearing this.
"Sister Zhao, are you just playing with her and don't you have me in your heart?"
Xie Rongzhao chuckled: "Stop acting like this, this air of being a doormat really doesn't suit you."
After saying this, everyone was happy.
Zhao Ying hugged her directly, holding her arms with both hands and acting coquettishly: "I don't care, Sister Nuo has it, and I want it too!"
"Okay, okay! I still have a box over there. I'll have someone deliver it to you later."
"That won't work. Sister Dezhao will send it to me personally!"
"Can!"
In front of her, Xie Rongzhao felt like a sister.
When the banquet started, there was indeed chrysanthemum porridge and chrysanthemum snacks, which really made Chen Jiaojiao talk about it.
When he finally left, Wang Yinuo also gave Xie Rongzhao a chrysanthemum pillow, saying that it could be used by the elders to help them sleep.
Xie Rongzhao liked this so much.
I heard that my father has been busy with official duties recently. If he had this, I don't know if he would be able to sleep better.
Because of her young age, Zhao Ying was stunned to kidnap two chrysanthemum pillows from Wang Yinuo, which made Xie Rongzhao very amused.
After returning home and delivering the things in the main courtyard, Xie Rongzhao went to find Chen Jiaojiao to make incense together.
"I thought that the dowry shop was just a meal prepared by the Chen family for you, but I didn't expect that my sister-in-law is actually a master at making incense."
"I'm not really an expert, I just like to think about these things. Our daughter's house has a lot of rules, so it's boring to always be busy in the inner courtyard. There are some things to do to pass the time."
"Sister-in-law is right. I still admire your sister-in-law very much. You have such a leisurely attitude, but I can't. I feel that without my sister-in-law's good concentration, I can't be stable."
Chen Jiaojiao smiled. Her mother-in-law also said that Xie Rongzhao had such a temper that he didn't know who to follow and he couldn't sit still.
The aunt and sister-in-law made two more boxes and brought them out, letting Xie Rongzhao take them both away.
"Sister-in-law, will you sell this in your shop?"
"Yes, I will sell them, but not now. I have to wait until next spring. The things in these accessories are relatively rare. They will be easier to get and cheaper in the spring."
"Okay, then we little sisters will help my sister-in-law to promote it. This incense will definitely sell well!"
"Then I'd like to thank Sister Zhao first. It's getting late. Go back and take care of your things. It's time for us to go to mother's place to pay her respects."
"Go right now."
Zhao Ying was naturally very proud to receive the incense sent by Xie Rongzhao personally. The two played together for a while. When they left, Zhao Ying had someone bring Xie Rongzhao a beautiful boat-shaped incense tray, specially for incense sticks. It's used, very delicate, and it still looks new.
"This was given to me by my father before. I dug it out in the warehouse yesterday. I haven't used it even once, so I just gave it to Sister Zhao."
"Then I'll thank Sister Ying. Let's go have a drink at a restaurant outside together some other day!"
"Okay, it feels like I haven't eaten outside in a long time."
On his way back, Xie Rongzhao happened to meet Wang Qin'er.
"Chen Xia, go and see what's going on? I saw that the carriage turned out from Anhe Street."
