Chapter 39: Fragrance

  In fact, Ning Fengbi was intentional.

  Yuanshi holds the power in the mansion, but she is still not satisfied and wants to suppress Yushi at every opportunity. This makes her very dissatisfied. Her mother can tolerate it for the time being because of the difference in treatment and the interests of the third house, but she is just a child and doesn't need to worry about so much. Moreover, today is also the day when Old Lady Jiang asked about her studying medicine, and she only mentioned it then, not bringing it up herself. In this way, even her mother's suspicion has been removed. Of course, Yuanshi may not believe it, but if she wants to suspect, that's fine. If she lets her bully like this every day, life will be unbearable.

  After a few more days, the weather gradually became hot, and everyone changed into summer clothes. The lives of the girls in the mansion remained the same - going to school, chatting, and morning and evening studies. Ning Fengbi was still the same as before, whenever she had some free time, she would go to Xinglin Garden.

  That afternoon, Ning Rong went to Lao Zhongtou's place to play chess. In Xinglin Garden, only Ning Fenbi was reading medical books. This time she was reading about the epidemics that had occurred over the years and the prescriptions for preventing and treating them. Just as she was engrossed in her reading, she heard a commotion outside and looked up at Yuer and said: "Go take a look who's here? It sounds like several people."

  Yu'er responded with a "yes" and went out. Before long, she came back to say: "Miss, it's the Second Master, Third Master, Fourth Master, and Shen San Gongzi who have arrived."

  "Is it them?" Ning Fengbi furrowed her brow, she hadn't seen Shen Qianshan for some days and didn't know why he had come here again today. Since he appeared, where was Bai Caiqi? She remembered that in the previous life, Shen Qianshan's visits to the Earl's residence were countable on one hand, but whenever he came, Bai Caiqi always had a reason to appear before him, and this life shouldn't be an exception either.

  Just then, Ning Che Zhuo, Ning Che An and Ning Che Bao accompanied Shen Qian Shan in. Ning Che Zhuo looked around and asked in confusion: "Huh? Where's Third Grandfather? Why is Sixth Sister alone here?"

  Ning Feng stood up and said: "Third Grandfather has gone to the garden to play chess with someone, what's the matter with you brothers?" Without even looking at Shen Qianshan.

  Shen Qianshan knew he had never been quite right with this Sixth Young Lady, although he himself didn't know where he had offended her.

  At this time, he hurriedly smiled and said: "The last time Mr. Ning left, my father mentioned that our grandmother was very intolerant of the heat. At that time, Mr. Ning said that when he came back, he would prepare a cooling medicine for his grandmother. Now it has been seven or eight days since then, I think, probably this medicine is already ready? Mr. Ning said before that all the medicinal materials are readily available."

  This matter was known to Ning Fengbi, but she didn't know that the heat-clearing medicine pills were made for Grand Princess Daliang. She thought they were prepared by Ning Derong because the hottest days of summer were approaching and the family members would need them too. Now that she knew they were actually prepared for Shen Qianshan, she felt a little unhappy.

  But thinking again, Ning De Rong is also a clever and enthusiastic person. The fact that the wise king's palace can be linked to some relationship is very beneficial to his own family. He was moved by his sister-in-law's care, although it may not be rare to stay in this earl's mansion, but after all, it was his sister-in-law's care. In addition, treating the eldest princess was also a good deed. Sending some cooling medicine to the other party is both a favor and a doctor's benevolence, really nothing to complain about.

  Unfortunately, it was Shen Qianshan again. Can't the other two princes of the Imperial Palace see people? Why is it always this guy who comes over? Ning Fenbi felt a sense of disgust in her heart and lazily got up to take out two bottles of medicine from the cabinet, putting them on the table: "That's all, Prince, you can take them away."

  Shen Qianshan saw her expression was dull, and thought it was just a lazy summer day, so he intentionally smiled and teased her, saying: "How come there's only this little? Are you only giving some to your grandmother at home? Don't we get any share?"

  Ning Xi furrowed her brow, saying irritably: "Does the Wang Fu not have a specialized pharmacy for making medicine? Cooling medicines are something that all the estates in the capital prepare every year. Not to mention the Prince's estate, even our Earl's estate is the same. Third Master only went to such great lengths to specially make this cooling medicine because of the Eldest Princess's delicate health, so when did he become someone who makes medicine for your Wang Fu?"

  Shen Qianshan scratched his head, knowing he had made a mistake. In fact, the summer heat-relieving medicine in the Wang Mansion was obtained early this year. He just wanted to tease Ning Fengbi into speaking, but seeing her bad mood now, he became even more convinced that it was due to the hot weather.

  He took out a bottle from his bag and threw it on the table, saying: "At such a young age, how can you have such a big temper? I just said one more sentence. Humph, don't say that I took your Third Grandfather's medicine for nothing, this bottle of Liuzi is for you, it's best to drink with water and relieve fire." After finishing speaking, he took two bottles of medicine and turned around to leave, accompanied by the three Ning brothers.

  Here, Ning Feng stared blankly at the bottle, which was Shen Qianshan's thing. According to her thoughts, she would never leave it behind, even if she didn't want it and threw it away. Last time, the sachet of fragrant medicine in the pouch was thrown away by her, but the pouch itself was kept because it was embroidered by a young lady from the Wang Manor, thinking that she would return it to its owner someday.

  However, this time she stared at the bottle on the table and was stunned for a long time. She picked it up and gently stroked it, her facial expression changing unpredictably, with a mixture of confusion and astonishment.

  Glass... This is a glass bottle, although it's just a small one, but... Has glass already appeared in this era? If there's glass, then... the things I want, can't I start collecting them now? As long as I have those tools, as long as I have them...

  Ning Feng's expression suddenly became agitated, she clenched the small glass bottle tightly in her palm, turned around and stood still for a while before calming down.

  Shancha and Yuer returned from seeing off the guests, and when they saw the young lady's appearance, they both felt that something was a bit strange. However, Ning Fengbi had always been introverted and sometimes would inexplicably become happy or sad, so the two of them didn't pay much attention to it.

  "Miss, what did Third Master give you? It looks exquisite and must be something valuable."

  Ning Feng placed the glass bottle on the table and said lightly, "It's nothing much, probably just perfume." She recalled what Shen Qianshan had said before he left, if it was a露子 (a type of Chinese herb), then it should be perfume. In "Dream of the Red Chamber", when Xiangling was feeling unwell, she would drink water mixed with perfume, and that perfume was something from Baoyu's room. According to the description in the book, it was quite precious.

  In this era, there were glass bottles and in "Dream of the Red Chamber", there was also a glass dressing mirror. I wonder if this era would have large pieces of glass too? Can they make glassware? Ning Fengbi racked her brains to recall the limited times she went out in her previous life, but it was either going to temples or escaping the heat in the countryside, and she had never walked on the streets at all.

  Cough, the emergence of glass is probably just laying some groundwork for making simple antibiotics. But that day I suddenly thought, if we're going to make culture media and bacterial strains, don't we need a microscope? I searched online and it seems like we don't need one, but cultivating bacteria is still quite troublesome. In short, please don't worry too much about this aspect, because when it comes to this stuff, I'm just a useless piece of trash, OTZ
