369: Correspondence
The countries of the Western Regions are very mysterious to the people of Great Qin, and there are countless strange people there.
But there are only a few people who are known and familiar with the merchants of Great Qin.
The rise of Cinnabar and Nanting was without any warning.
They were able to bring rare medicinal herbs and precious spices from the Western Regions, and then purchased supplies such as silk and salt from Daqin to transport them back to the Western Regions.
Between these comings and goings, the amount of money earned is not the amount that ordinary people can imagine.
Especially in the past few years, the aristocratic wives in the capital have become more low-key than in the past, and they have become more and more fond of comparison. Their clothes were smoked with precious spices, and everywhere they went, they carried a faint fragrance.
However, these spices, a small bottle, can be exchanged for a lot of gold bars.
Cinnabar and Nanting are undoubtedly successful, but if you talk about politics, the most successful is this He Yue who walks in many countries in the Western Regions.
No one knows what he looks like, some people say that his appearance is extremely ugly, which is why he wears a mask. Some people say that his background is actually from the Nissi royal family, but his bloodline is not pure, so he will be discarded by the royal family. He walked in many countries in the Western Regions, just to prepare soldiers and horses, and when the future comes, he can completely conquer the Nixi royal family.
There are many legends about Heyue, but I don't know which one is true.
The only thing that can make Xia Ruan clear is that this He Yue is not an ordinary person.
"Nanting Gongzi, did you fight with He Yue?" Xia Ruan frowned slightly, and in an instant, her eyes were on Nan Ting's body, and her voice was almost inaudible, "Master Hou, have you met him too?" ”
Nanting was stunned. Then I couldn't help but laugh.
"It's a long story." Nan Ting shook his head and began to answer Xia Ruan's question without answering directly, "The matter of Prince Heyue, I think the Hou Ye will sue you in the future." It's just that there are some things I can't say more, and if I say too much, it will be bad. Mrs. Chang'an Hou, I know you are a smart person, so. You shouldn't embarrass me, right? ”
Xia Ruan also laughed. "Okay, I won't ask."
Nanting is not Xiao Jiu, and she won't trust her too much.
So a lot of questions, if she asks too much. Nanting will not answer.
Xia Ruan didn't know how much Nanting would say. So he tested his bottom line again and again.
But what made Xia Ruan suspicious the most was. The South Pavilion appears here.
If her husband was worried about her, he let Nanting fall into the hands of Cinnabar, which was a bit risky.
Although she didn't know Nanting's true identity. But just since Nanting was a businessman who made money every day, he didn't have any reason to take this risk. After all, businessmen always put their interests first, but if there is a conflict between life and interests, then it is natural to save their lives.
Nanting is a smart man, and he understands this better than anyone else.
If they believed He Yue wrong, after being betrayed by He Yue, Nanting fell into the trap of Cinnabar and fell into the hands of Cinnabar. Then Nanting at this moment should not be so calm.
Apparently, he deliberately fell into Cinnabar's hands and then came to see her.
"Nanting Gongzi, you will appear here, it shouldn't be an accident or an accident." Xia Ruan was silent for a long time before he spoke, "So, Nanting Gongzi, can you tell me why you are here?" ”
Nanting smiled slightly, "I will appear here, although it was sent by He Yue, but this matter has nothing to do with him." I wanted to come, so I naturally came, and of course Master Hou also hoped that I could come. However, I don't know if Mrs. has ever heard a sentence called Beauty Pass? ”
Xia Ruan raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but look at the person in front of her again.
The young man's eyes were covered with white silk, and he couldn't see the look in his eyes. But he has outstanding looks and a lot of property, and his every qiē is so eye-catching.
Xia Ruan thought that even if Nanting was blind, then with his elegant and handsome face and his family property, he could still attract the attention of many women.
"If you really like her, cherish her." Xia Ruan lowered her eyes and softened her voice, "She's a good girl." ”
Nanting ate the pastries on the plate, he didn't answer Xia Ruan's words in time, but only after drinking the tea in the teacup, he replied, "Well, I always knew." ”
After finishing speaking, Nanting stood up from the stool, "I'm too tired this way, I'll go find a place to rest, madam, I'll go out first." ”
After Nanting finished speaking, he groped his way towards the outside of the courtyard.
His steps were so slow that if it weren't for the movements of his hands, he would not have been able to tell that he was a blind man.
As soon as Nanting walked outside the courtyard, he heard the sound of 'crackling' in the distance.
The kitchen was close to where he was standing, and he could clearly hear Duran cursing.
The more Nanting thought about it, the more interesting it became, and then slowly walked towards the kitchen.
"This person is simply, the ghost does not go away, the ghost does not go away." Duran cursed hard, put the bowl on the table again, looked at the contents of the pot angrily, and then muttered to himself, "No, I have to hide the food, what if this shameless thing grabs something to eat with Madame?" ”
After Duran finished speaking, as if he had made up his mind, he began to think about how to hide the food that had come out of the pot.
She said it in a small voice, but Nanting still heard it thoroughly.
He subconsciously put his finger to his lips, and there were still crumbs of pastry on the corners of his lips, and after he wiped those crumbs, he felt a little weak for some reason.
He was a glutton, but he wasn't going to fight a woman for food, and he was a pregnant woman.
Nanting shook his head, what kind of person did this Duran think of him.
"Ah......h
When Duran turned to get the kitchen utensils, he saw the South Pavilion leaning on the door frame.
Nanting's hair bun was a little messy, and at this time, the messy hair hung down on his shoulders. His eyes were covered with white silk, and a faint smile hung on his lips, "Miss Duran, what's wrong with this, scared like this?" ”
Duran's face turned blue with anger, "I'm looking at something unclean." ”
After speaking, she took a deep breath and picked up the kitchen utensils that were set aside.
Duran felt a little headache, and she didn't hear any footsteps at all. So there is no defense at all. But as soon as she turned around, she saw a man in crescent-colored clothes standing behind her, and she almost jumped in fright.
When she saw that the door in her lady's room was closed, she thought that Xia Ruan was resting now, and if it weren't for Xia Ruan, she would definitely scold Nan Ting.
Duran swallowed the words that came to his lips again, not wanting to wake Xia Ruan up because of her unhappiness.
It's just that she endured hard work, with a delicate and white little face. It's almost crumpled.
Duran ignored Nanting, who was standing on the side. Instead, I continued to stew the soup and made a few delicious side dishes. When she used to be in the country, she cooked the meals at home by herself. Later, Du Ruo became pregnant, and he would also be picky about food. She was also on the side.
So now. The taste of Xia Ruan. She knew a little bit about it, too.
Xia Ruan will eat more of the meals she cooks.
It's just that this place is too remote. The vegetables and meat sent were not fresh, and the fish that was delivered a few days ago were not known to be fish that had been dead for a few days. That fishy smell is still remembered by Duran to this day.
She asks too much from those people, and those people will not bother to pay attention to her.
Duran felt even more annoyed when he thought of this.
In a few months, Xia Ruan will be in labor, if you can't make up for it properly, how can you survive that terrible day in the future.
"What is Miss Duran thinking?" Seeing that Du Lan didn't speak, Nanting couldn't help but quip, "Are you worried that I will steal the food you cooked?" Tsk, Miss Duran, I'm not that bad. ”
After listening to Nanting's words, Du Lan turned around and sneered, "Also, Nanting's son is used to a life of brocade clothes and jade food, how can he eat these coarse tea and light rice?" Wait a while, someone will personally bring you food to Nanting Gongzi, I hope Nanting Gongzi you have a happy meal. ”
After Duran finished speaking, he continued to turn around and warm up the food.
After Xia Ruan wakes up, these meals will not be cold.
Nanting smelled the aroma of the food, and his stomach was a little hungry.
But for the sake of face, he didn't say this to Duran.
"If Miss Duran doesn't mind, I can share the meal with Miss Duran." Nanting thought about it, if someone brought food, then he really didn't mind giving some food to Duran, after all, Duran was just a little girl, and how much could she eat.
Du Lan and Du Ruo are not similar at all, her appearance is delicate and delicate, and her temperament is even more straightforward. Sometimes, Duran's words can be very mean.
However, Du Ruo will not be like this.
Although Du Ruo and Du Lan are sisters, Du Ruo is more calm, while Du Lan's temperament is more direct.
Duran didn't know what was going on and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Her wrinkled little face finally smiled, as delicate as a hibiscus out of water.
Nanting heard Duran's laughter, and the smile on his lips couldn't help but deepen.
"Thank you Nanting Gongzi for your kindness." As soon as Duran finished speaking, he watched the gate of the small courtyard be opened from the outside. The person who came to deliver the food today is an old mother. After Du Lan saw the person clearly, he pointed and said, "Nanting Gongzi, your meal is here." ”
Nanting was already a little hungry, but when he heard Du Lan's words, he didn't think much about it.
The old mother's face was pale, she saw Nanting groping towards this side, and after thinking about it, she helped Nanting last time and let him sit on the stone bench outside the house.
"Childe, please have a meal." After the old mother finished speaking, she turned and walked out. Her steps were hurried, as if someone was chasing her.
Duran stood in the kitchen and watched Nanting eat, and the smile on his face grew stronger and stronger.
Sure enough, soon, after Nanting took a bite of the meal, he immediately wanted to vomit it, because of the education he received since childhood, he didn't dare to spit things directly on the ground.
A handsome face, revealing an embarrassed look.
"Is it delicious?" Du Lan approached Nanting and looked at the food on the table, "Oh, you dare to eat this fish...... Yes, I forgot, you can't see it. Then Nanting Gongzi, I sue you, the fish you used just now seems to be ......" (to be continued......
