Chapter 33: Scented Sachet

Translator: Vicky_

The carriage set off with a clatter. The rear compartment was hot and stuffy, and there were mosquitoes. Su Qingluo lifted the curtain, took out a scented sachet from her small basket to repel insects and mosquitoes, and hung it on the neck of the baby.

She was afraid that the tender flesh of the little baby would attract mosquitoes, and he would get bitten.

“Yuyu, do you still have one of those refreshing scented sachets? Can I have one?”

Su Ziqin glanced at the little baby’s scented sachet, and a trace of envy flashed across her eyes.

Su Qingluo’s self-made scented sachet had wonderful uses. She wanted the kind that could refresh her brain and improve her memory when she smelt it while studying, allowing her to achieve twice the results with half the effort.

“Okay, I’ll give it to you anytime if you want.”

Su Qingluo raised her small face, smiled sweetly, took a scented sachet from the small basket, and handed it to her.

“Sister, I also want one.”

Su Zixuan curiously looked at Su Qingluo’s small basket, eager to open the lid to see what treasures were contained inside.

“Brother, here.” Su Qingluo’s pink hand reached into the basket, took out another sachet, and handed it to him.

“It smells really good!”

Su Zixuan took the scented sachet, raised it to the tip of his nose, and inhaled hard, praising loudly, “The scented capsule made by Sister smells so good. It is even better than the one made by the embroiderer in the clothes-making workshop.”

“Mother made the scented sachet, and I just added a few herbs.”

Su Qingluo spoke in a sweet voice and rubbed Li Xiu’e’s arm affectionately. “Mother is so amazing, and she can embroider beautiful flowers with her dexterous hands.”

“And you are amazing with your words. You’re always used to making people happy.”

Li Xiu’e was so happy to hear this that she joyfully stretched out her arms and took Qingluo’s soft little body into her arms.

Su Qingluo’s arms were also holding a soft little baby, who was squeezed in the middle and struggled very uncomfortably, his two eyes wrapped in a puddle of aggrieved tears, starting to cry.

“Xuan’er, good boy. Don’t cry. I’ll give you something delicious.”

Seeing that he wanted to cry again, Su Qingluo hurriedly broke free from Li Xiu’e’s arms, took a piece of nail-sized, soft, dried sweet potato from the small basket, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The dried potato was soft and sweet, suitable for feeding the baby. It was a favorite snack of the little kingfisher.

Su Qingluo’s small basket was always stocked with dried sweet potatoes. So now was a good time to use them, just right to plug the little baby’s grinning mouth.

“Slurp, slurp, slurp…”

The little baby sucked on the sweet taste of dried potatoes happily.

“Sister, what other treasures are in your little basket? Let me take a look.” Su Zixuan finally couldn’t resist, curiously peeking over the small basket and surveying it.

“Brother, come and have a look if you want.” Su Qingluo smiled sweetly and pushed the little blue basket toward him.

“Good, yeah!”

Su Zixuan got what he wanted, smiling from ear to ear.

The lid of the small basket was opened. Not only was Su Zixuan curious, but Li Xiu’e and Su Ziqin also stretched their necks to look over.

The small basket contained a dagger, a pack of silver needles, a small roll of bandages, and three small boxes containing ointment to stop bleeding, all of which were collected when saving people.

There were also three scented sachets, a packet of needle and thread, a small packet of dried sweet potatoes, and two pouches—one containing medicine pills, one containing silver. The most eye-catching was a straight piece of emerald bamboo with an engraved hole. It was as thick as a thumb and as long as a baby’s small arm.

“Wow, Sister, your little basket is full of treasure!” Su Zixuan was stunned by the complete variety of items inside the small basket and could not help but exclaim aloud.

“Yuyu, is this a bamboo flute?”

Su Ziqin was attracted to the bamboo. She took it out of the small basket and played with it lovingly in her hand.
