Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Hearing Ye Changyan's request to keep it a secret, Wang Xinkuan looked at Mr. Cai with some confusion, but saw Mr. Cai nodding with a smile, so Wang Xinkuan did not continue to ask.

But then Zhao Mubai's wife Liao spoke.

"Junior brother, you have just arrived in Shengjing, so you may not know that it is not an exaggeration to say that these pure dew and perfume are hard to come by at a great price."

The women present at the scene all knew to some extent how precious these hydrosols and perfumes were.

"A close cousin of mine married into the Duke of Yan's mansion. Last month, I took Guangdi to attend the first birthday party for her youngest son. The Duke of Yan's mansion's wife was busy organizing the banquet. As soon as I arrived at the Duke's mansion, I smelled a refreshing orchid fragrance emanating from the wife."

When Liao said this, she could still clearly remember the rich fragrance she had never smelled before. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Liao looked at Ye Changyan who was smiling.

"During the banquet, a noble lady who was familiar with the prince asked the prince's wife about the origin of the fragrance on her body. The prince's wife said that it was the mysterious yellow jasmine perfume, which the prince bought from an acquaintance for two hundred taels."

Hearing what Liao said, the other women were a little shocked, and Li, who was pregnant, couldn't help but sigh.

"The Duke of Yan's Mansion is indeed very wealthy. The Crown Prince dotes on his Crown Princess and spent two hundred taels on a bottle of perfume."

Ye Changyan thought that he was not cruel enough and should write a letter to tell Huang Huamin about this, but then he heard Liao continue.

"The prince found an acquaintance and spent two hundred taels to buy this. If someone else offered two hundred taels, they might not even get in. Nowadays, the price of this perfume has long been hyped up to a sky-high price, especially this mysterious yellow jasmine perfume. The real thing is hard to come by at a fortune."

Ye Changyan and his fellow brothers rarely came into contact with the circle of noble ladies in Beijing. When they heard what Liao said, they were all very curious about what kind of thing could be sold at such a high price.

"Junior brother, please open your eyes to me. What kind of magic power does this perfume that costs only 200 taels have?"

Although Wang Xinkuan is the fourth senior brother, he is three years younger than the fifth senior brother Lu Ge'ang. This is because Wang Xinkuan joined the sect half a year earlier than Lu Ge'ang. The two even fought over the senior brother's order of seniority.

Lu Geang said that if they were to count based on the time of entry, Zhao Mubai and Ji Yunting would have to call Liang Jingcheng "Second Senior Brother".

In the end, no one knew what trick Wang Xinkuan used that made Mr. Cai speak and affirm Wang Xinkuan's status as the fourth senior brother. Only then did Wang Xinkuan secure his position as the fourth senior brother.

However, Wang Xinkuan and Lu Ge'ang often argued over various things, and Wang Xinkuan would often drag Lu Ge'ang into a bet, and the other brothers would often be dragged into it. Although they had their wins and losses, Wang Xinkuan had a greater chance of winning overall, just like this time, when Wang Xinkuan and Lu Ge'ang made a bet on when Mr. Cai and his party would come back.

Hearing Wang Xinkuan's question, Ye Changyan looked up at his sisters-in-law. Seeing that everyone nodded, and the other senior brothers on the side also looked at him eagerly, Ye Changyan took out the Huangjuelan perfume from the box.

"My fellow brothers and sisters-in-law, this bottle is the yellow jasmine perfume."

Everyone was looking at the palm-sized white porcelain bottle in Ye Changyan's hand.

"It's just a small bottle, but the prince spent two hundred taels, or was it a price paid by favor?"

Although Wang Xinkuan also came from a wealthy family, he felt that the value of the thing in front of him was not worth it no matter what.

"Whether it's worth it or not, Junior Brother, open it and let us see it, and we'll know."

Ji Yunting saw that his daughter Furong, who was always proud, couldn't help but move her feet and move closer to Ye Changyan. Ji Yunting thought that the attraction of these rouge fragrances to women was really regardless of age.

Seeing that even his daughter couldn't resist the temptation, Ji Yunting spoke up and asked Ye Changyan to open it for everyone to see.

Seeing that everyone was staring at the white porcelain bottle in his hand, Ye Changyan took out a scraper from the box, gently scraped open the wax seal on the mouth of the white porcelain bottle, carefully removed the bottle cap, and then gently fanned the bottle mouth twice with his hand.

Furong and Wang Xinkuan, who were close to it, could smell a rich fragrance.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Furong smelled the fragrance and burst into praise.

Immediately, everyone in the main hall smelled the fragrance, which was indeed a refreshing orchid scent, but it was a little different from the ordinary orchid scent and seemed to smell even sweeter.

"Yes, it is this fragrance. This is the fragrance that the Crown Prince's wife exudes."

Liao still remembers that scent clearly, it is exactly the same as the one he smells now.

Not to mention the women at the scene, even the grown men like Zhu Yuchun, Zhao Mubai and Ji Yunting were intoxicated by the refreshing fragrance of orchids.

Wang Xinkuan carefully took the white porcelain bottle from Ye Changyan's hand, leaned in to sniff it, with an intoxicated look on his face, then picked up the lid and covered the bottle.

"I'm treating you to dinner at Fanlou tonight, so this bottle of perfume is mine."

As he spoke, Wang Xinkuan put the white porcelain bottle into his arms. Everyone who had just come to their senses was stunned.

Lu Ge'ang and Wang Xinkuan had argued a lot, and Li naturally helped her husband from time to time. Seeing that Wang Xinkuan was so shameless, she couldn't help but retort.

"Brother Wang, even though my husband calls you Brother, we are older than you anyway. Besides, the eldest, second, and third sisters-in-law are all here, and they haven't spoken yet, so it's not your turn. Besides, you are a grown man, do you really have to learn from the girls to put on makeup?"

When everyone heard Li teasing Wang Xinkuan, they all grinned, but Ye Changyan was a little shocked. Wang Xinkuan's behavior really surprised him.

"Fifth sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. You all go out in pairs. Do you think I have to be single for the rest of my life? Can I only use this perfume for myself? Can't I give it to others? Big sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, you won't watch me alone in my twenties, will you?"

Wang Xinkuan's words made everyone's eyes light up, and Mr. Cai was even more delighted.

"Si'er, have you finally come to your senses? Your parents have arranged so many girls for you, but none of them caught your eye. Whose girl is this that can make you, a hard-working person, want to bloom?"

Mr. Cai’s words immediately caused everyone at the scene to burst into laughter.

Wang Xinkuan actually has a good psychological quality and doesn't blush at all.

"Teacher, it's hard to say whether this will be successful or not. I'll give this bottle of perfume to the owner and then I'll come back to you. I just don't know if you sisters-in-law are willing to give me this batch of perfume."

Everyone found it funny to see Wang Xinkuan, who was already in his twenties, acting like a naughty child. Ma, Liao and He all had smiles on their faces and nodded at the same time.

Then, Li, who was pregnant with a big belly, spoke.

"Here you go, here you go. Don't let the girl dislike you and blame us."
