Chapter 113 Master Qiu
Xin Youran finally felt relieved. It turned out that Xiahou Rui knew Master Qiu!
That would be much easier. She was confident that her ointment would win Master Qiu's favor.
The three of them followed Master Qiu and his followers into the Zen room he mentioned.
The scent of sandalwood lingered throughout the room.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Xin'er, serve the tea."
"Yes, Master."
Xin Youran: ???
Master?
She was very surprised when she saw him for the first time. This Master Qiu was completely different from what she had imagined before. She thought he would be an old man.
I didn’t expect that it was a young man. What a talent he must have!
This reminded Xin Youran of the saying "Heroes have always emerged from youth", and today she had learned something new.
Only after she sat down did she take a closer look at Master Qiu. He had a slender figure and his clothes were made of fine ice-blue silk. The snow-white piping embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns complemented the mutton-fat jade hairpin on his head.
He is truly a modest gentleman, gentle as jade!
She was so absorbed in watching that she felt an elbow strike on her left arm.
She looked at the man in confusion, and Leng Yue's cold face came into her sight, which made her sober up instantly.
She quickly stood up and saluted Master Qiu. "Hello, Master Qiu. I'm Xin Qiji. I've recently made some gardenia ointment. I wonder if Master Qiu would be so kind as to help me test it. I'd be very grateful for your guidance!"
Xiahou Rui originally wanted to introduce the two of them, but unexpectedly Xin Youran volunteered and got straight to the point.
He was still worried about how to introduce Ye Bufan, the son of the Minister of Revenue!
Xin Youran's actions actually made him tell fewer lies.
Ye Bufan understood, it turned out that he wanted to ask his uncle for help.
King Ning was smart enough to know that his uncle was not someone who would be easily invited.
He really found the right person, who can definitely help. What he is curious about now is who this Xin Qiji is?
It can also allow His Royal Highness Prince Ning to come forward in person.
"May I ask where your master came from?"
This question left Xin Youran stumped. Do I need a master to guide me in making a perfume?
This made her feel even more uneasy. This Master Qiu must have seen many masters. What if the ointment she made really didn't meet his standards?
But now that it's come to this, I can only tell the truth.
"I'm not very talented. I learned how to make the ointment on my own and didn't learn from a master..."
She couldn't possibly say that she learned all this from the videos of the handicraft blogger she used to follow, right?
No, I can't be scared off like this. Her perfume is really good. Even Manager Guo of Ningxiang Pavilion, the largest perfume shop in the capital, has taken a fancy to it. There is no reason why it wouldn't catch the eye of Master Qiu.
She then pulled out a jar of gardenia ointment from her sleeve and presented it to him with both hands, "Master Qiu, this is the gardenia ointment I made. You can try the scent."
At this time, "Master Qiu's" follower came forward, took the ointment from her hand, and presented it to "Master Qiu".
Although Ye Bufan didn't know how to make any ointment, he was very familiar with this thing. It was also a necessity for him to use every day.
He took the ointment and opened the lid. A fresh scent of gardenia filled his nose, as if he were standing in a gardenia field...
He had never tasted this scent before!
At this moment, Xin Youran was so nervous that her palms were sweating and her heart was in her throat!
She stared at Master Qiu for a long time before she took out some ointment and applied it on her wrist. Then she closed her eyes and said nothing.
At this moment, the Zen room is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.
It was the first time for everyone to smell this kind of perfume, and it even covered up the original sandalwood scent in the room.
"Can I take this ointment with me and savor it when I get home?"
Master Qiu finally spoke, but did not offer any suggestions or comments.
This did frustrate Xin Youran, but she still smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, I'll give you this ointment. If you like it, I have plenty more."
When Ye Bufan heard this, he thought, "Is there still a lot left?" Then he would definitely get a can for his mother and sisters!
Seeing this, Xia Hou Rui hurriedly stood up and said, "It's getting late. Master Qiu must have other things to do. We will wait for your good news."
"Goodbye."
As he said this, he gestured to Xin Youran, indicating him to retreat quickly.
Although she didn't know why, she still said goodbye with a smile.
After she walked out of Jingxinzhai and returned to Xiahou Rui's carriage, she asked, "Brother Xiahou, does Master Qiu dislike my ointment?"
“Why do you want to go back for tasting?”
"Isn't this a polite way of saying no?"
Xia Hou Rui didn't want to discourage her. He was the only one who knew the reasons. With Ye Bufan's dead look, there was no way he could appreciate the product. He must have taken it back to his uncle for appreciation.
The shameless guy actually wanted to take a few more bottles of ointment, he must be asking for his mother and sister!
Still want to eat for free? No way!
However, the purpose of his trip has been achieved.
As long as he gives it to the real Master Qiu, Brother Xin will have done his best to help.
"Be more confident. Maybe he's a very cautious person. The reason he wanted to take it back for tasting is because he liked the ointment you made. Otherwise, he would have rejected it on the spot."
She felt that what Xia Hourui said made some sense.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will strive for it.
"Xiao Yueyue, did you see it just now?"
"That Master Qiu looks so young! He looks like a refined gentleman. Doesn't he make your heart flutter?"
"He's already been called a master at such a young age, which shows how gifted he is!"
"I just don't know if they're married, but I guess there are probably quite a few young ladies pursuing him."
Leng Yue didn't want to pay any attention to her at all. This guy forgot himself when he got excited.
You have to understand that you are a man now. If you praise another man so openly, others will think you are a homosexual!
Considering that this remark might cause unnecessary trouble if heard by Xia Hou Rui, she still spoke up to remind him appropriately: "Ahem, you are the most beautiful man I have ever seen. Other men are just average."
Xia Hou Rui:?!?
Just talk, why does it feel like he is also being blamed?
Is he average?!
You might as well ask around, but Prince Ning is famous for his handsomeness!
How is he worse than Brother Xin and Ye Bufan!
The three of them quickly returned to Yuemanlou, but Xiahou Rui did not get off the carriage. He was in a hurry to go to the Dali Temple to complete the task assigned to him by his second brother.
So I said goodbye to Xin Youran and Leng Yue.
Xin Youran stood there watching Xia Hourui's carriage drive away, then asked Leng Yue softly, "Xiao Yueyue, who do you think this Xia Hourui is?"
"I actually know the incense master."
