I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

"Why do you smell like bamboo today, Brother Mei?"

Zhao Zhirun arrived early and greeted Mei Zhanhui who was already sitting in his seat looking at yesterday's homework.

"Come to think of it, I've never smelled anything other than the scent of cold plums on Brother Mei."

Mei Zhanhui paused while turning the pages of the book and said in surprise, "I met my aunt by chance in Xiangshan yesterday. I smelled it and asked her for it."

When Zhao Zhirun heard that it was obtained from the eldest lady, he immediately said, "It must have been made by my sister. She loves to mix perfumes, and most of the spices used in the house are mixed by her."

After a few words, Zhao Zhihuai came over, exuding the same bamboo scent as Mei Zhanhui.

Zhao Zhirun covered his head and wailed, "How come you both have them? Where's mine? Did your fourth sister forget that you have a second brother like me?"

Zhao Zhihuai kicked Zhao Zhirun and said, "My mother sent it here yesterday evening. Who can I blame for not seeing it?"

He has really become stupid from reading so much that he says whatever he wants.

Zhao Zhirun soon realized that something was wrong, and the two brothers laughed and changed the topic to studying. Mei Zhanhui didn't notice and joined in reciting the book.

Just smelling the fragrance of green bamboo made her think of the scent ball that he had hidden in his sleeve and wanted to take the opportunity to return it to her.

Unexpectedly, the bold girl who had dared to comment on his appearance in person before behaved so calmly in private. For a moment, Mei Zhanhui couldn't tell which one was the real Zhao Fangyu.

But he laughed again the next second, laughing at himself for why he had to figure out what kind of person Zhao Fangyu was.

It had nothing to do with him anyway, so he just had to return the scent ball to her.

Mei Zhanhui's idea was simple. Zhao Fangyu was completely unaware of it and was still discussing the newly popular perfume with the eldest lady.

In autumn, small countries around the country came to pay tribute one after another, and a foreign offering called rose water became popular. It had a long-lasting fragrance, and when applied on the hair, there would be a pleasant fragrance while walking, sitting or lying down, without any trace, just like a woman's natural body odor, and was very popular.

The eldest lady thought that Zhao Fangyu liked to play with these things every day, so she gave her a set of tools for making perfumed dew.

Zhao Fangyu was very happy, and said with a smile: "It is best to make sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance dew in autumn. There are many flowers, and there is no need to worry about failures. I can empty the yard at home."

Zhao Fangyu was just feeling happy, but the next second, the eldest lady dropped some disappointing news.

"Your third sister is coming out."

"After all, I'm old enough, and it's time to meet someone else."

Zhao Minshan just wanted to lock up Zhao Fanglan to prevent her from causing trouble, but he had no intention of supporting her for the rest of her life.

The eldest lady was also annoyed. Who knew what evil intentions Zhao Fanglan had? She should get married as soon as possible, so as not to drag down her Mo'er.

Zhao Fangyu knew that the eldest lady would not lock up Zhao Fanglan for life just because Zhao Fanglan had provoked her, so it was only a matter of time before Zhao Fanglan came out.

But Zhao Fangyu still lowered his head and pretended to be disappointed: "It's good that the third sister came out."

The eldest lady wanted to comfort him. After all, the conflicts between Zhao Fanglan and Zhao Fangyu were too numerous to be ignored. Especially since it was Zhao Fanglan who took the initiative to provoke them both times. There was really no solution.

"It's okay. I've already picked out a place for your third sister to live. It's in Cherry House, which is the farthest from you. All her things were moved there intact from the old lady's place. She also has Buddhist scriptures to study on weekdays, so she doesn't have much free time."

What this means is that even if the person came out, Zhao Fanglan would not have the time to cause trouble for Zhao Fangyu.

Zhao Fangyu nodded and agreed reluctantly, thus revealing the truth.

After Zhao Fanglan moved out of Shou'an Hall, Zhao Fangyu saw her several times. She had grown taller, her figure had become more prominent, and her temperament had become more quiet and steady.

After following the old lady and being taught by her for several years, the superficial literary temperament was suppressed, and instead there was a certain indescribable charm.

Zhao Fanglan set up a small banquet in the Cherry Pavilion. All the share of the years was given to her without a penny less. She lived in the old lady's yard, ate the old lady's food, lived in the old lady's house, and could not go out. She had no place to spend the money, so she saved a lot.

At the banquet, Zhao Fanglan also toasted Zhao Fangyu.

"I was young and ignorant at the time, and committed many sins. Today I apologize to Fourth Sister, and I beg for her forgiveness. From now on, I will treat Fourth Sister like my own sister."

Zhao Fangjin imitated Zhao Fanglan's behavior, and then said with disdain: "Do you believe what she said?"

Without waiting for Zhao Fangyu to answer, he said, "Anyway, I don't believe it."

Zhao Fangyu laughed, but also agreed with what Zhao Fangjin said.

Zhao Fanglan has always been like a venomous snake, lying in wait before striking with one strike.

After being oppressed by the old lady for several years, she must be feeling aggrieved, and being aggrieved would lead to resentment. She didn't dare to confront the eldest lady, and the person she would vent her anger on would definitely be the weak target.

Today's Zhao Fangyu is no longer the baby she used to be. No one can get into her own hut. Even if the eldest lady wants to know the news in her courtyard, it will be difficult.

However, the eldest lady was not the kind of person who had a strong desire for control. After confirming that Zhao Fangyu was harmless, she allowed him to develop freely.

"Speaking of which, has your sister's marriage been decided?"

Zhao Fangyu was curious about the real-life blind date in ancient times and felt it was impressive.

Zhao Fangjin was so embarrassed that he pretended to twist Zhao Fangyu's mouth. His whole face turned red, and soon even his neck and ears turned red.

"You're going to kill me! You ask all kinds of questions. You have such a busy brain, why don't you let the wolf take it away and taste it!"

Zhao Fangyu was unmoved, and even had the heart to tickle the itchy spot on Zhao Fangjin's waist. The two sisters played together on the couch until noon. After eating milk cakes and waking up and dressing up, Chunshao came over and said, "Miss, the bottle of perfume you got last time, I see today, there is something in it."

Zhao Fangjin followed curiously: "What good stuff did you get?"

Zhao Fangyu didn't answer, but took her mysteriously to a small shed in the backyard.

There was a large low table under the pergola, on which were placed a number of odd-looking glass objects, pieced together into strange shapes. At the end was a small crystal bottle with some transparent liquid in it.

Zhao Fangjin picked it up and smelled it. A strong sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance came to his face. It was rich and pure, and it was simply overbearing!

She originally had peony scent pills on her body, but now after being washed away by the sweet osmanthus scent, there was nothing left.

Zhao Fangjin looked at the crystal bottle, his eyes instantly lit up: "What is this? Why does it look a bit like rose water?"

Zhao Fangyu smiled without saying a word. He dripped some water from the bottle and poured it on his fingertips. Then he curled up his fingers and spread them open forcefully. The sweet-scented osmanthus dew on them was evenly sprinkled on Zhao Fangjin's hair.

"Xun Yue! Come quickly!"

Zhao Fangjin happily asked Xunyue to come over, and then slowly walked past Xunyue.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus scent on the girl is sweet, not strong, but just nice!"

Zhao Fangjin smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He immediately took Pingzi and Zhao Fangyu to see the eldest lady.

"Let's open a shop together and split the profits every month! If you can exchange such good things for silver, you can save up a dowry for yourself!"
