Lin Qing handed a cup of medicinal tea to Song Ci.
Song Ci held it with both hands, the faint herbal aroma mixed with the fresh scent of tea was quite pleasant, so she said, "It smells nice. I see the sachets you wear usually have a light medicinal scent as well."
Lin Qing lifted her sachet and said, "They are filled with herbs and flowers to repel mosquitoes. Now that summer has arrived, there are more mosquitoes, so I've changed some of the herbs."
"Then make me a couple to wear as well, with some mint leaves added—a refreshing and pleasant smell that also repels mosquitoes," Song Ci requested unreservedly.
"Madam, you even know mint repels mosquitoes?" Lin Qing was intrigued, as each conversation with this Madam brought her new insights and broadened her perspective.
Song Ci: "Is that so secret? Mint can also be made into oil, and applying a bit after a mosquito bite helps relieve itching. If someone faints, mint oil can help them wake up quickly."
