Chapter 753 Satisfied
"Satisfactory."
In Duke Wei’s mansion in Pingkangfang, the steward called for Xin, looked him up and down several times, “Go take a bath and change your clothes, San Lang told you to play the flute.”
Looking at the smile in the eyes of the burly steward, the young man could not help but feel angry, and his face blushed suddenly. He knew that there were bad rumors about him in the mansion, and some people even secretly called him Heart lady.
"I remember you have a fragrant cicada with a dragon's brain?" the steward asked.
It was after Xinxin was transferred from Taichang Temple to the East Palace, because it was a reward for the good prince who played the flute. It was a tribute from Lin Yiguo. It was carved into a cicada shape with the incense in the heart of the knot of the old dragon's brain tree. It is small and exquisite. Like mica, the color is like ice and snow, when worn as clothing, it is both shiny and fragrant, which can be described as very precious and exquisite.
Satisfaction has always been regarded as a treasure, but it is not worth wearing lightly at ordinary times.
"Ruilongnaobingchan is a gift from the crown prince seeing my kindness, and he keeps transferring his satisfaction to others." Xin thought that the steward wanted to covet his Ruilongnaochan, so she hurriedly said.
The steward heard that he got this gift because he played the flute well for the prince, and he really looked like that. The steward is the steward of the Duke of Wei's mansion, and he has seen the world. Although this kind of Ruilongnaochan is small, it can at least be worth a hundred. It is even more valuable if it is given by the prince, not to mention it is a gift from the prince.
"It's not the **** you thought, it's just blowjob..." Yixin hurriedly defended.
The steward chuckled, "I understand, I understand, it's just an ordinary jade flute, hurry up and take a bath, Saburo is waiting for you to play the flute, of course it's just an ordinary flute, remember to bring your Ruilongnaochan."
After finishing speaking, the steward patted Xin on the shoulder in a serious manner, "San Lang appreciates it and serves you well, but don't be arrogant about pampering us. There are many rules in our house. Also, remember not to yell around casually." ,Understand?"
Xing Xin's face turned red and then turned white, turned white and turned green again.
Teeth are almost broken.
The steward walked away with a smile, leaving Xin Xin with a twitching expression on his face. In Duke Wei's mansion, everyone treated him specially.
"I'm really just a **** boy!"
Yingxin almost wants to yell loudly for the whole house to hear, but in fact, facing all kinds of rumors, especially the hidden benefits brought by these rumors, sometimes she enjoys it quite a bit.
I even fantasized about it for more than one night, if Sanlang really favored him, it would not be bad, and then he would become a real pleasing lady, and he would have his own separate courtyard in Duke Wei's mansion, and there would also be rough envoys. Wash and cook for him, there are young maids serving tea and water for him, and there may even be carriages and horses for traveling.
Such a life seems to be good.
Saburo is so tall and handsome, so majestic...
Thinking about it, Xinxin's face turned red again.
Maybe Saburo really wants to spoil himself?
Xingxin came to the bathroom, scrubbed her whole body vigorously, a layer of skin was removed by brushing, and the skin was red when rubbed, and even her hair was washed carefully.
He also picked out a new set of clothes that the crown prince gave him when he was in the East Palace, and finally buckled the Rui diptero cicada on the clothes, looked at the bronze mirror for a long time, and finally smeared a little rouge on his face , put some lipstick on her lips.
Study room.
Qin Lang's study is actually a courtyard with five entrances. This is not only his study, but also his library, and he often even meets the stewards here.
I am about to leave Beijing, and there are still many things to explain.
Because the crown prince mentioned Xinxin, it made him who had almost forgotten about him think of this beautiful boy again.
After he asked the crown prince for Xinxin, he stayed in the mansion. The prince later rewarded him with the entire music group that Xinxin had originally. Therefore, it is good for Xinxin and the others to practice music at ordinary times. If there are distinguished guests, they will invite them to play. .
Qin Lang would let them play occasionally when he was free, usually solo, to enhance the atmosphere of the meal or something.
Xinxin's flute is really good, and she also has an excellent voice. She is best at singing female tunes, a bit like Tsing Yi in later operas. Especially when she sings, she often puts on female makeup. Ladies in disguise, cross-dressing beauties.
However, Qin Lang only admired his musical talent, and was not particularly fond of others.
"Xinxin met Saburo!"
Qin Lang raised his head, a scent came over his face, the unique scent of Rui dipterocarp.
Xingxin walked in slowly and stood at the door.
Qin Lang realized that he didn't change his clothes today, but he also put on light makeup, giving him a coquettish look, so he frowned.
"I called you here to tell you that after the new year, I will go to Beijing to tour the province by order. You should also prepare and come with me."
Happily responding.
"Okay, you go down."
Xing Xin froze.
"Xing Xin wishes to play the xiao for Saburo!" After hesitating for a while, she still mustered up the courage to say that she has to fight for her own happiness. Anyway, all kinds of rumors have been spread outside, so it's better to just sit on it.
"I still have something to do, let's listen to it another day."
"Sanlang, would you like to play the flute for Sanlang?"
Qin Lang raised his head again, and took a few glances at Xin Xin, unexpectedly, he was a pretty bitch.
"Have you played before?"
"No, but my wish is for Saburo!"
Qin Lang waved his hand, a little disgusted, "I'm not a shit-stirring stick, it's disgusting to listen to, don't mention it again in the future, I just think you are smart when I take you with me, I take you by my side to be a book boy, compared to those outside The soldiers and servants should be more careful, but I haven't thought about anything else."
"You don't have to mention this again in the future, and don't use this crooked brain. If you have this idea again, I will send you to Longyou to reclaim wasteland."
Blushing with satisfaction and embarrassment, he couldn't imagine the courage he had finally mustered up, but in the end he threw the wrong wink?
"I don't dare to be satisfied anymore."
"Okay, let's forget it this time, let's go down, and it's nothing to put on women's clothes when you usually sing, but what's the point of painting your eyebrows and red in private? Don't do these messes in the future, and, I know the government There are some bad rumors here, remember to clarify when you hear it, don’t deliberately acquiesce with an ambiguous attitude, and make things unclear.”
Seeing Qin Lang get angry, Yixin knelt down on the ground in fright.
He is just a lowly Le Tong, and his real status in the mansion is that of a Le Slave. The owner of the house is his god. If you appreciate him today, he can live and eat better than ordinary small landlords. But if he is annoyed, he may really just Can be sent to the barn to shovel manure.
Usually ten fingers are slender and do not touch Yangchun water. If you want to shovel horse manure and chop firewood, it will be terrible to think about it.
"Go down!"
The wind picked up again outside.
A bodhisattva came in, cut the wicks of the candles in the study, and turned the incense sticks in the jade tripod. This maidservant has a tall bun, and her face is full of exotic style, very much like those female Bodhisattvas in Buddhist temples in the past, so this kind of female slaves who came from the south have now become slave brands that Chang'an nobles are vying to buy, known as Bodhisattva barbarians. , tied with Silla maids and Kunlun slaves, and even ranked in front of Bosiji.
The real top Bodhisattva Man, it is hard to find a maidservant in Chang'an now, not just a random female slave from Tiannan, who can be called a Bodhisattva Man with a tall bun, it has to be a country called the Nv Man Country in Myanmar and Thailand in later generations The woman must be a noble woman with a higher background.
The Nvbarbarian Kingdom is a country that believes in Buddhism. Everyone of them believes in Buddhism, and the noble heads even build temples in their families. Like a Bodhisattva.
These women are young and beautiful. They have practiced worshiping Buddha since they were young. After they were taken captive and enslaved for various reasons, they had to go through special training to teach them Chinese, etiquette, etc., and finally they could be regarded as qualified Bodhisattvas. The price is naturally Extremely high and very rare.
Now there are quite a few bodhisattvas in Chang'an who are actually not real aristocratic women in the female barbarian country, not even from the female barbarian country, some counterfeit goods.
Qin Lang is regarded as the owner of a powerful spice trader in Datang, so the spices used at home are naturally high-quality, not like Lao Cheng who was slaughtered, and the second-grade agarwood is the top. The censer used in Qin Lang's study was a jade tripod, inside which was placed a dice-sized piece of top-quality agarwood, processed and cut into a dice-sized agarwood in a square shape, burning such a small piece of agarwood could fill the room with fragrance.
Bodhisattva took out a hairpin from the bun on his head, turned the incense over to let it be evenly roasted.
"Sanlang, it's snowing heavily outside, there are so big snowflakes, like goose feathers."
Qin Lang smiled, the hometown of these Bodhisattvas had never seen snow in their entire lives. Although Guangzhou had occasional heavy snowfall during the Tang Dynasty, the Indo-China Peninsula farther south still had no snow.
"Auspicious snow heralds a good year, so it's good if the snow is big." Qin Lang told Bodhisattva Man, "These agarwoods are the top spices, and they don't need to be turned over, and they won't be burnt and smoked."
Ordinary spices need to be turned around to avoid smoke like a charcoal fire. Really good spices are not needed at all, and can be burned all the time without any smoke.
"It's cold and dry, let's change it to toilet water for steaming, it can also humidify and reduce dryness." Qin Lang confessed.
"Then use Persian flower dew and rose water, or is it produced by our Qin family?" Bodhisattva asked quite.
"Then do you think the rose dew tributed by Persia is better, or the perfume produced by our Qin family?" Qin Lang asked with great interest.
Flower dew is the name of the perfume distilled from fresh flowers by the Tang people. This kind of perfume is most famous for the rose perfume brought by the Sassanian Dynasty in Western Regions. It is packaged in glass bottles and is expensive.
But in comparison, Qin's perfumes are bottled in glass bottles, which have various beautiful shapes and are more crystal clear. Highly distilled alcohol is used for volatilization, and ambergris and other high-end fixatives are used to fix the fragrance. Therefore, the Qin family's perfume is actually more popular now, and it is synonymous with the most high-end perfume.
Flower dew is a synonym for the next-level perfume products. Some people in Datang began to imitate perfumes, but the ones they produced were generally worse than Persian floral dew.
“Of course, our own perfume is better, but it’s also more expensive.”
Qin's perfume is synonymous with high-end, and ordinary people can't afford it. A small bottle can be sold for thousands of dollars. It is said that the price of the tribute to the queen is 8,888. A bottle, a set of 188,000 In fact, the fragrance of each bottle is different, even the bottle is unique and customized, and there is a number on the bottle, which is the only set in the world.
The cheapest Qin's perfumes are all 18 sticks. At this price, you can buy four cows or a good horse.
In fact, with the current production capacity of Qin's perfume, it is completely possible to increase production capacity and lower the price, so as to benefit more women or men. The Qin family has already started producing men's perfume.
It's just that Qin Lang personally vetoed the proposal, so why cut the price? Qin's perfume is to be made into a high-end product that 99.999% of the people in the world can't afford.
Price cut? If everyone uses it, the brand is worthless.
Perfume, from ancient times to the present, is a luxury product, and there is never such a thing as high volume and high price!
