Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 199 Sachet
Actually, Shen Li found this sachet at a polo match at the Yongchang Earl's mansion.

At that time, Sheng Changquan was in a hurry because he had to cooperate with Minglan to snatch Yu Yanran's hairpin. He was so focused on the competition that he forgot about his personal belongings, and as a result, he accidentally dropped the sachet.

Fortunately, Shen Li, who was standing next to him, happened to see this and picked it up.

Otherwise, if this sachet falls into the wrong hands, it will inevitably cause some hidden dangers.

If it's just an ordinary person who finds it, it's fine and there's no big deal. But if it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, then things could get complicated!
After all, sachets, being private and highly personal items, can indeed, to some extent, represent the identity of their owners.

This is especially true in matters of the heart.

Shen Li originally intended to return the sachet directly, but because the competition was so exciting, he forgot about it for a while. It wasn't until the competition ended and Sheng Changquan and the others had gone back that he remembered.

The timing was unfortunate, and he also noticed that the sachet was somewhat old. Therefore, Shen Li changed his mind and decided to make a new sachet to send back as a return gift for the ride Sheng Changquan had given him earlier.

At the same time, this opportunity can also be used to deepen the relationship between the two parties and make their friendship more solid.

After all, friends need to stay in touch to deepen their relationship.

However, making this sachet proved difficult for Shen Li.

After all, he doesn't know anything about needlework.

So, Shen Li initially planned to have the embroiderer in his household make a new one. However, after the embroiderer took the sachet and examined it carefully, she suddenly ran over to Shen Li to apologize, saying that she was not skilled enough to make an identical sachet!

Shen Li was taken aback and questioned her carefully, finally learning that the embroiderer had given up the task because she couldn't find out the ingredients in the sachet.

It was precisely because of this that Shen Li noticed the difference in Sheng Changquan's sachet.

Originally intending to give his brother a gift, he consulted the embroiderer repeatedly and finally realized the predicament. In the end, he had no choice but to hand the sachet to Shen Jun, hoping she could solve the problem.

Because Shen Jun was highly skilled in making sachets, and in terms of needlework, she was undoubtedly the number one in the Shen family. Even Madam Shen and the embroiderers hired by the Shen family were far inferior to her.

That's why Shen Li was so confident that her older sister could decipher the ingredients of the fragrance.

"Actually, I've had this sachet for about two days now."

Shen Jun looked at the object in her hand and shook her head: "However, in these past few days, I have only discovered one or two of the ingredients in this spice blend. I have no way of knowing the exact proportions of the ingredients!"

Shen Jun sighed, feeling somewhat frustrated.

"Hmm? Miss!"

"Is this thing something special?"

Xiaoqi only knew that this thing smelled very pleasant, but she didn't know how precious it was.

"hehe!"

"Little Seven, this sachet is naturally extremely precious!"

Shen Jun smiled and explained softly to her maid, "Although the fabric of this sachet is not particularly precious, the spices inside are extremely rare and special!"

"Not only does it have a unique fragrance, but its medicinal effects are also excellent, making it a top-quality product!"

As she spoke, Shen Jun's face showed a rare expression of admiration: "Originally, I didn't know who made this sachet, and I only thought that Young Master Sheng obtained it from somewhere else." "However, after meeting Young Master Sheng this time, I understand now that he is the one who prepared this fragrance!"

Shen Jun's words were so certain that Xiao Qi, who was standing to the side, was puzzled: "Miss, I can understand why you say that this guy is Young Master Sheng because of the fragrance on him, but what makes you say that he made this sachet himself?"

Xiaoqi pouted, unconvinced, and retorted, "Maybe he bought it from outside, or maybe someone gave it to him as a gift?"

"Hehe, Xiao Qi, you don't understand!"

Shen Jun looked in the direction Sheng Changquan had left and patiently explained, "This young master Sheng not only has the fragrance of this sachet, but more importantly, he also has a special mixed herbal scent."

"Mixed? Herbs?"

Xiao Qi was taken aback, and immediately looked up, trying hard to smell the scent in the air, attempting to find the mixed herbal smell that Shen Jun had mentioned.

Unfortunately, after sniffing for a long time, she couldn't find anything. In the end, she could only ask with a doubtful look, "Miss, is there really such a herbal smell?"

"Why didn't I smell it?"

Shen Jun shook her head, looking at Xiao Qi with a wry smile, and said, "Xiao Qi, the person has been gone for most of the day, how could you still smell anything?"

Because Madam Shen's health had always been somewhat poor, the Shen family would often invite renowned doctors to diagnose her. As this happened, Shen Jun would frequently consult these doctors and learn a great deal from them.

After all, Shen Jun personally prepared all of Madam Shen's medicine.

Of course, she may not be an expert in medicine, but she is extremely skilled in decocting herbs. Therefore, she is also somewhat sensitive to the smell of herbs, which is why she was able to detect the herbal scent on Sheng Changquan immediately.

That herbal scent is something only people who frequently deal with herbs would acquire, and that's why Shen Jun was certain that the sachet was made by Sheng Changquan himself.

"In short, I'm absolutely certain!"

Shen Jun didn't want to explain further to Xiao Qi, after all, the little girl didn't understand the underlying principles, and she couldn't explain it clearly in a short time.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing her daughter's explanation, Xiao Qi simply stopped talking and nodded blankly, believing Shen Jun's statement.

Seeing that Xiao Qi had finally quieted down, Shen Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this little girl doesn't understand anything, but she's naturally curious and likes to keep asking him all sorts of strange questions, leaving him exhausted from dealing with them.

Looking in the direction Sheng Changquan had left, Shen Jun suddenly let out a cold snort in her heart!
"Humph!"

"I can't break the fragrance in your sachet, but the fragrance I make might not be any worse than yours!"

Shen Jun suddenly felt a surge of competitive spirit. She decided to make a sachet herself and have Shen Li give it to Sheng Changquan to see if he could decipher her design.

After all, she couldn't crack Sheng Changquan's sachet, but the other party might not be able to crack her sachet either!

In that case, Shen Jun wouldn't be considered to have lost.
