Nobody thought Ling Wei’s words were wrong.
This perfu is sothing novel, and it’s said that other than a small amount in the Capital City, there’s none anywhere else in Great Chu.
This distant niece of Lady Wu, no matter how well she’s dressed or accessorized, everyone could figure out, with a little thought, the sa conclusion as Yan Pei—she’s from a fallen family.
Yun Jiao glanced at Ling Wei, "I don’t really use perfu, let alone incense or anything like that."
Yan Pei chuckled, "Miss Gu sure knows how to talk. Just admit it if you’ve never seen perfu. Your accent clearly shows you’re from elsewhere, so even if you’re lacking so knowledge, we won’t laugh at you."
Yun Jiao raised an eyebrow at her. This Miss Yan had eagerly pulled her over to sit down, making her think she wanted to be friends, only to find out she brought her over specifically to mock her?
The official language of the Great Chu Dynasty is sowhat similar to the dialect of Huai North from her ti and space, which Yun Jiao can mostly understand but can’t speak.
She hadn’t been speaking the dialect from Xiang City either, as it’s a bit hard to understand.
She spoke standard Mandarin, which belongs to the northern language group along with the Huai North dialect, making it easier for others to understand.
Yun Jiao chuckled softly. She always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile, having seen too many examples of ostentation ending badly.
In the countryside before, she’d always kept a low profile, even when Mrs. Zhou scolded her, she couldn’t be bothered to respond.
But here, it’s different. If she allowed them to bully and mock her, it would only bring disgrace to the Duke Mansion.
"I truly don’t use much perfu."
"I have Jasmine Flower Perfu, Gardenia Perfu, Magnolia Perfu, Rose Perfu, and even Osmanthus Perfu, almost unused."
Ling Wei suddenly burst into laughter, "Oh really, boasting without fear of biting your tongue."
"There’s only one bottle of Jasmine Flower Perfu in the world, gifted to the Empress by Princess Consort Yun when she entered the capital. I asked at Qingbao Studio, and they said Jasmine Flower Perfu can only be made in the spring when jasmine blooms."
Yan Pei also laughed, "And what about Magnolia Perfu, Rose Perfu, we’ve never heard of them. You’re quite the storyteller."
Just as Yun Jiao was about to speak, a round-faced girl stood and ca over, having a maid move a chair to sit beside Yun Jiao, "You all are just bullies."
"What’s so great about using or not using so perfu? You won’t grow an extra piece of flesh just by using it!"
She smiled at Yun Jiao, "Let’s not pay them any attention."
Ling Wei snorted, "You don’t even use costics, so talking about this to you is just like playing music to a cow."
The round-faced girl widened her eyes further, "Ling Wei, who are you calling a cow?"
Ling Wei laughed, "Oh, why are you so worked up? It’s just a taphor."
The round-faced girl opened her mouth, about to say sothing, when Yun Jiao gently patted her back, speaking unhurriedly, "If you hadn’t ntioned it, I almost forgot. I actually brought two bottles of perfu today, planning to give them to the Princess. Oh, where’s my box?"
From behind Yun Jiao, Hui Xiang spoke, "Miss, the box is with ."
She’s now Yun Jiao’s maid, naturally feeling indignant upon hearing how these people mocked her mistress.
She smiled as she opened the small bag she was carrying, revealing a delicate small box inside.
Yan Pei sneered, "Oh, is it real? Why not open it up for us to see?"
Hui Xiang stepped forward, opening the small box, where two exquisite crystal bottles lay quietly on the white silk inside.
