After Su Xiaoxiao left the palace, she said to Ah Fu, “Ah Fu, do you know where the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion is?”
“I know, I know!” Ah Fu had been wandering around the West Capital these days. He had gone to all the slightly famous places. “Are you going now, Young
Madam?”
“Yes, I’ll go now.” Su Xiaoxiao got into the carriage.
“Alright.” Ah Fu put away the carriage stool and sat in the outer seat. He drove the carriage to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
Su Xiaoxiao was here for Second Master Shen.
She was originally a little worried that it would be difficult for her to see Second Master Shen without a token. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper brought her to the room upstairs without asking.
“Aren’t you going to ask who I am?” Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
The shopkeeper smiled. “My second master said that if a young and beautiful girl comes to look for him, I must respectfully invite her upstairs. That’s his esteemed guest.”
She was young and beautiful. Yes, Second Master Shen was smart.
Su Xiaoxiao was very satisfied.
The shopkeeper served her good tea and snacks and asked her to wait inside. He asked someone to call Second Master Shen.
Second Master Shen was tasting the new wine at a nearby winery. The taste was not much different from before. Second Master Shen kept feeling that there was something missing, but he could not taste it.
“Second Master! Second Master!”
The shop a.s.sistant jogged over. “Shopkeeper Hu wants you to hurry back to the
Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.”
“I haven’t finished tasting this wine.”
“That girl is here for you!” Swoosh!
Second Master Shen disappeared.
The a.s.sistant shuddered and stayed where he was with a dumbfounded expression. What had just happened? Was Second Master around or not?
“Bring the wine!”
Second Master Shen’s shout came from outside the wine cellar. The waiter came back to his senses and hurriedly carried a few wine jars into the carriage.
Second Master Shen rushed to the room on the second floor of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
Su Xiaoxiao sat quietly by the window. There was a cup of steaming Longjing tea in front of her. The sunlight shone diagonally into her head and landed on her beautiful face. She looked at the busy streets, her side profile calm and perfect.
The streets were noisy, but the world she was in was peaceful.
Second Master Shen suddenly calmed down. He walked forward. “Madam Wei.”
Su Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze and smiled at him. “Second Master Shen.” Second Master Shen was dazzled by this smile.
Naturally, it was purely admiration. He did not have any thoughts that he should not have.
He sat down opposite Su Xiaoxiao and the waiter went forward to pour him a cup of tea. He was quite satisfied with the table full of tea and snacks and did not neglect his esteemed guest.
He waved his hand. “Alright, you can leave.”
The clerk withdrew.
Second Master Shen rubbed his hands in embarra.s.sment and said, “The last time I saw Mr. Zhuge I drank too much. When I woke up, it was already dawn. I didn’t lose my composure, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “No.”
Second Master Shen heaved a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, before he could finish, he heard Su Xiaoxiao say, “You only pulled Mr. Zhuge’s sleeve and confessed for the entire night.”
Second Master Shen was so frightened that his face turned pale!
Su Xiaoxiao was amused by his expression.
However, she was telling the truth. After Second Master Shen got drunk, he did grab Zhuge Qing’s sleeve and tirelessly told him about his admiration for Zhuge Qing. All the things about being lucky for three lifetimes and smoking in his ancestral grave came out.
Second Master Shen was about to cry.
It was not easy for him to see Mr. Zhuge, but he had embarra.s.sed himself like this.
Su Xiaoxiao stopped scaring him and returned to the topic. “I came to look for you this time to ask you to help me find two more herbs.”
At the mention of this, Second Master Shen asked, “Ah, did you get the Wei
Nation herbs last time?”
“I got it,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
“That’s good.” Second Master Shen heaved a sigh of relief. “What medicine are you looking for?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Snow Domain Hemp and Snake Bone Flower.”
Second Master Shen shook his head. “I’ve never heard of them.”
Su Xiaoxiao took out two blueprints. Before Sai Huatuo left, he left behind the herbs he had gathered and the blueprints of the other herbs. Su Xiaoxiao copied a few.
“Maybe they have other names,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Second Master Shen took the blueprint and looked at it carefully for a while.
“Can I take it away?
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Of course.”
Second Master Shen carefully put away the blueprint. “Alright, I’ll ask around for you. I’ll inform you immediately if there’s any news. Is it still the Moon Chasing Inn?”
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao sniffed. “Have you been drinking?”
“Ah, I was tasting a new wine just now.” “Sorghum wine?”
“Your nose is very sharp.. You’re an expert!”
