Chapter 228 Green Leaf Agarwood
Chen Afu went to the Zen room. A table of vegetarian food had been placed in the room, and Liao Chen led several children to sit at the table. She sat down at the table and ate the meal together.
After the meal, the children went to take a lunch break, and Chen Afu chatted with Abbot Liao Chen. She heard that Chen's health had not been very good and he often suffered from insomnia, so she took out a piece of swallow-leaf agarwood and gave it to Chen.
When Liao Chen heard that this was Yanye Agarwood, he was so surprised that his eyes widened. He was surprised and said, "Oh my god, is there really such a strange fragrance as swallow-leaf agarwood in this world?" He then replied by himself, "It was given by Master Wu Zhi, it must be true."
She took the incense, smelled it, and then sniffed it again with great enjoyment with her eyes closed. He opened his eyes and said happily, "It's really beautiful and long, elegant and fragrant. It's never been more wonderful."
Seeing her like this, Chen Afu was a little stunned. Yanye agarwood, as the name suggests, contains the leaves of Yanye agarwood. If he didn't take it out himself, the old monk wouldn't be able to make this kind of incense. But after hearing what Chen said, it seemed that there should be Yanye Agarwood in this world, but it was just very scarce.
Then he asked, "Abbot Liaochen, is this swallow-leaf agarwood very scarce?"
Liao Chen smiled and said, "No wonder you don't know how precious this kind of incense is. The poor nun also saw the swallow-leaf agarwood in an ancient book, and said that to make this kind of incense, you must find a tree called agarwood. , and its leaves are used to make incense. However, this kind of tree grows in remote mountains where no one can find it. Before, the poor nun thought that this kind of incense did not exist at all, because no one in this and previous dynasties had ever heard of it. This kind of incense has been produced... Master Wu Zhi is really a great monk. He is so amazing. He actually found this kind of leaves and made this kind of strange fragrance." He took Chen Afu's hand and smiled and said, "Afu, you. You are so valued by the master that he can give you three, you are truly a blessed person."
It turns out that there is such a record in ancient books, and they also cleverly say that Yan Chenxiang grew up in the mountains. In this way, this kind of fragrance will not be so feared by people.
Chen Afu pretended to smile in surprise and said, "It turns out that Yan Ye Agarwood is so precious. Next time, I will definitely send more halogen flavor to Master Wu Zhi to thank him for being so generous."
Liao Chen chuckled and said, "This kind of incense should be used sparingly. If it is wasted, it will be a waste of resources. Ancient books have said that not only does it have a particularly pleasant fragrance, it can also prevent and treat many kinds of diseases, and it is also very useful." It can emit a faint fragrance without burning it. It can be placed in the room to purify the air, or it can be placed in the closet to smoke clothes. The fragrance will gradually disappear after one month, and then it must be lit to release the fragrance. , only break off a small section at a time and use it for more than a month. The rest of the incense should be placed in a sealed copper vessel so that the aroma is not easily distributed..."
It turns out that it is so durable, two sticks of incense can last for a long time.
Abbot Lochen solemnly put the incense into a copper box and closed the lid. Then, he took Chen Afu's hand and talked about home affairs. Her manner was gentle and her tone gentle. Chen Afu was pulled by her to sit on the kang, feeling as if he was being pulled by Mrs. Wang, with a kind of warmth of maternal love inside.
Chen Afu was also moved. He leaned next to her and told all kinds of interesting things about Chu Hanyan, making her laugh. At this time, her smile reached her eyes, as if she was truly happy.
When the children woke up, everyone was going home again. With tears in her eyes, Chu Hanyan pulled the lapel of Chen Chen's clothes and said, "Grandma and sister, please go home. It's so uncomfortable to live alone in this big yard, just like the original sister."
Liao Chen also had red circles under his eyes, and he lowered his head and said to her, "Grandma can't go home with my sister, because grandma is no longer a foreigner and must live in a nunnery."
Chen Afu also gave Miss Chu some words of advice, then picked her up, and they all got on the carriage together.
When the carriage had walked a certain distance and was about to turn down the mountain, Chen Afu opened the curtain and saw Chen standing in front of the nunnery looking at them.
There were only her and two little nuns in the huge mountain gate, which made her even more lonely and helpless.
She had such a powerful husband's and natal family, but she ended up like this just because her husband was coveted.
Chen Afu felt a little sad, and said "Hey" heavily, and his arms around Dabao became a little heavier. I hope Master Wu Zhi can really resolve Dabao's disaster.
Thinking of what Master Wu Zhi said last time, he said that Dabao was among the dragons and phoenixes, and had a strange destiny. He also told him to live in seclusion, not to see people he shouldn't see, and not to leave within a hundred miles of his home for two years...
Chen Afu had long felt that Dabao would not be born into an ordinary family. Now it seems that it is not only unusual, but also very extraordinary, and there must be a deeper reason why he was thrown away than the shady secrets in the inner house.
Such a child, if there is a bloody disaster, will definitely be a life-and-death trouble. Can I, a peasant girl, or the prefect's illegitimate daughter, protect him from harm?
It's easy to handle Jinbao outside, but I'm just worried that something might happen to Jinbao in winter...
Chen Afu was worried and watched the children laughing in silence.
When they arrived at the door of the house, everyone got off the carriage.
Zhuifeng, Wangcai, Qiqi and Huihui were waiting for them at the gate. The children ran over to play with them, and the place immediately became noisy and lively again.
When Mrs. Wang heard that they were back, she came out and said, "I'm going to Luyuan for dinner tonight. I made mutton dumplings today." Then she smiled at Manager Luo and said, "I also invited a few of Sister-in-law Luo to come and eat dumplings with me tonight."
Manager Luo smiled and nodded his thanks.
Chen Afu led the children back to Fuyuan, washed up, and then went to Luyuan.
Chen Afu whispered to Wang about what she had asked the old monk about her uncle. The old monk meant that they could reunite with their uncle, but they didn't know when.
Wang's eyes were red with excitement again. She clasped her hands together and chanted Buddha, saying, "Thank you for the blessing of the Bodhisattva. If mother can really see your uncle again, she can close her eyes even if she dies."
In the evening, Chen Afu asked Xia Yue and Qiu Yue to play with the children, and she hurriedly made a beautiful thumb doll for Jin Yanzi.
At night, she entered the space again and took two mutton dumplings in. There was no gold treasure under the agarwood tree, and it didn't go out, so it must be sleeping in a golden house.
Chen Afu put the plate of dumplings and the thumb doll on the ground and began to pick up the jewelry again. She thought that she would go to Dingzhou Prefecture in a few days, sell the jewelry, and then buy a larger shop as the address of Fuyunlai Business.
Apart from the jewels that Jinbao stole in this world, there was still an emerald, three pearls, three sapphires, and three jadeite and jade stones carved with flowers and birds.
Perhaps because they had stayed in the space for a long time, the luster of these jewels was extremely good, and they were much more valuable than jewels of the same size and quality.
Chen Afu guessed that the pearls and sapphires together could be sold for at least more than 200 taels of silver. And this emerald was even better. The last emerald was sold for 320 taels of silver, and this one could be sold for at least 500 taels of silver.
