Uncle, look what that is, I've never seen it in Zhaoling. “

Shen Bai pointed to a stall selling fruit on the street and said to Wei Ruzhao.

They are now traveling in disguise, in order not to reveal their identities, Shen Bai and Wei Ruzhao are commensurate with their nephews.

The architecture of Nanxiang and Zhaoling is similar, and the customs are quite similar, but the climate here is more humid, there is more rain, the sunshine hours are longer, and there are naturally more types of fruits than Zhaoling.

Although Wei Ruzhao was not wearing a monk's robe, he was still wearing the string of Buddhist beads on his hand, turning around from time to time, hearing Shen Bai's question, he lifted his eyes to look over there, Murong Xuan's ears were sharp, and when he heard Shen Bai's question, he preemptively replied: "This is our Nanxiang's special fruit, called pineapple, it tastes very sweet, and I haven't eaten it for a long time." “

Pineapple?

Shen Bai remembered that he had seen it on Youzhi, and immediately licked his lips, and said to Zhou Jue: "Why don't you buy one for your uncle and the fifth young master to taste." "It's like calling Zhou Jue as a little servant.

Zhou Jue glared at Shen Bai, his heart was much calmer than before, but he didn't have a verbal dispute with Shen Bai, he walked over and bought a pineapple, the vendor shouted, and helped to peel the skin, seeing that there were four of them, divided into four pieces equally, and strung them with bamboo sticks.

Zhou Jue took it and walked back, he respected Wei Ruzhao very much. didn't dare to give it to Wei Ruzhao directly, so he kept one piece for himself, and handed the remaining three pieces to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai first asked Murong Xuan to choose a piece, and then divided a piece for Wei Ruzhao, Wei Ruzhao didn't look at it, and said lightly: "I don't eat it." “

Shen Bai slammed Wei Ruzhao's arm familiarly, and persuaded half-coquettishly: "Uncle, you can taste it, I can't eat more than two pieces, I bought everything, and if I don't eat it, it will be wasted." “

Buddhists like to purify sentient beings, Wei Ruzhao would try to finish the meal before eating, and when he heard Shen Bai say this, he still reached out and took the pineapple, but he just held it in his hand and did not eat it.

Shen Bai lowered his head and took a bite, and the sweet and juicy flesh immediately exploded on the tip of his tongue.

Shen Bai closed his eyes with satisfaction, Zhou Jue was also surprised, he didn't expect that Nanxiangguo would have such a fruit.

Murong Xuan also missed this bite tightly, and after taking a bite, he leaned in front of Shen Bai and asked, "How is it?" “

Shen Bai swallowed what was in his mouth and praised without hesitation: "It's delicious!" “

Murong Xuan looked at Zhou Jue again, Zhou Jue felt that he was representing the face of Zhaoling at this time, and after thinking about it, he said reservedly: "It's delicious, but we also have a lot of delicious fruits in Zhaoling, but we were too busy before and didn't take the five princes to taste it." “

Murong Xuan shook his head and said firmly: "Zhaoling's fruits are basically available in Nanxiang, but Nanxiang has a lot of fruits that you have never seen. “

Zhou Jue was a little unconvinced, feeling that he had been provoked, and was about to refute, Shen Bai had never seen the world and asked, "Really?" What other fruits are not available in Zhaoling? “

Murong Xuan took them to a relatively large fruit shop in the town.

Along the way, Shen Bai found that there were many fruit stalls in this town, and he entered the fruit shop. The sweet fruit smell came to his nose, not to mention Shen Bai, even Wei Ruzhao's brows were relaxed.

This tastes much better than incense.

In addition to the common oranges, tangerines, and melons in Zhaoling, there are many things that Shen Bai and Zhou Jue have never seen before, Zhou Jue can't pull his face, but Shen Bai's curiosity is very strong, and he keeps asking questions, and Murong Xuan is more active than the boss.

Mango, lychee, longan, passion fruit, papaya, and many more.

Shen Bai asked, and after Murong Xuan answered, the boss pretended to give them one to eat.

These fruits are very sweet, but the papaya smells a little weird, Shen Bai is a little unaccustomed to eating it, Zhou Jue directly frowned and looked disgusted, and he didn't even taste a bite.

Seeing Zhou Jue like this, the boss couldn't help but say: "Papaya is a good thing, don't be ignorant of the goods." “

Shen Bai answered immediately. Asked: "Why did the boss say this?" “

The boss continued: "This papaya is sweet, has the effect of beautifying the face, and the woman eats it, that place will be more plump and magnificent. “

The boss said and gestured exaggeratedly to his chest.

Shen Bai's chest has been swollen recently, and he has grown a lot older than before, and he is worried about this, and when he heard the boss say this, he immediately pushed the plate of papaya in front of him away.

She still didn't want it.

The way to eat passion fruit is a little different, the boss asked people to cut the fruit, dug up the flesh inside, I don't know what to add in it, brewed four cups of water out, Shen Bai opened the lid and smelled it, and a strange and good aroma invaded the spleen and lungs. I tried to take a sip and it tasted surprisingly good.

Shen Bai's eyes lit up and asked, "Boss, is this a fruit specially used to make tea?" “

The boss said: "This is our local way of eating, and I think it is much better to drink it than to eat it directly." “

Shen Bai drank all his cup with relish, and felt that it was not enough, so he called Zhou Jue as a coolie and bought a large handful of passion fruit back.

The fruit was half full, and the group went around the city, Murong Xuan took people into the only restaurant in the town, and missed the meal, and there were not many people in the restaurant at this time.

It's just that there are not many rich people in the town, and they don't want to be elegant and quiet, and there are no private rooms in the restaurant, so they sit in the hall.

Murong Xuan ordered the most characteristic white chopped chicken, salt-baked chicken and shredded chicken in Nanxiangguo.

I had to order something else, but I was stopped by Shen Bai. Anyway, they have to stay in Nanxiang for a long time, and if there is anything delicious, it is not too late to eat slowly, and there is no need to stuff it into their stomachs.

Although Wei Ruzhao is a lay disciple, he has not been touched with any meat in the past ten years, and the wine and meat are very taboo, and the store served him a bowl of white lunch box and a bowl of vegetarian soup.

Shen Bai, Murong Xuan and Zhou Jue broke the chicken next to them and ate very happily, and the people passing by inexplicably felt that Wei Ruzhao was a little abused, how could such a good-looking person not give him delicious food?

But the three of them were so focused on eating that they didn't notice the eyes of the people next to them, and after a while, a small man who looked like a guy respectfully walked up to Wei Ruzhao and said, "This son, my master wants to invite you over to eat." “

Shen Bai ate his hands and mouth full of oil, looked in the direction pointed by the little guy, and found that there was still a table of people sitting in the corner of the window in the lobby.

said that there was a table of people, but in fact, there was only one person sitting at the table, and there were five big men standing next to them.

Crossing the gap in the bodies of these big men, Shen Bai saw that the man was wearing a hat to cover his face tightly, but he was wearing a long vermilion skirt with sequins sewn on his waist for decoration, lining his waist very thin, he should be a woman.

Wei Ruzhao didn't seem to hear it, he sat firmly like a mountain, Shen Bai swallowed what was in his mouth and reminded, "Uncle, people invite you to dinner." “

Wei Ruzhao seemed to be waiting for Shen Bai's words, and looked at her coldly, with a clear meaning: I want to go to you.

People invite you to dinner, what will I say?

Shen Bai raised his head and smiled at the little guy. said: "I'm sorry, my uncle is more introverted and afraid of life, thank you for your kindness for me." “

The little guy was disgusted by a greasy smile, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he went to the table to reply.

He didn't say anything over there, Shen Bai glanced at the woman, leaned in front of Wei Ruzhao, lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, I think this should be a girl, you are not afraid that people will be sad if you refuse people like this?" “

Wei Ruzhao glanced at Shen Bai coldly, Shen Bai sat down obediently, and after a while, the woman left with someone.

When passing by, a fragrance rushed in, and when the people walked away, Shen Bai asked Murong Xuan curiously: "The fragrance on her body smells so good, do you know what kind of incense she uses?" “

Murong Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "This is something that only women use, and I'm not a woman, how can I know?" “

Shen Bai asked again: "This kind of incense is quite special, is your incense-making skill in Nanxiang very good?" “

Murong Xuan's patriotic feelings were bursting, and he immediately nodded and said, "Of course, if you want it, after you get to Nanxi, I can find the best incense maker to tailor it for you." “

It can also be tailor-made, which is a bit of a novelty.

Zhaoling women all love beauty, whether it is a powerful family, or a poor woman, the days can pass a little, they like to buy some rouge gouache, or other decorations, no matter how bad they are, they can pick some flowers and go home to tinker with them, and they can also make some tricks.

After turning all the way around this town, Shen Bai only saw this business opportunity.

Nanxiang is too far away from Zhaoling, even if there are some rare fruits, it will definitely be broken on the way to Zhaoling, if it is chilled with ice, it may be possible to whip it quickly, but the price is too high, the quantity transported over is quite limited, and it can only be used as a rare thing for the royal family to taste, and it is not easy to let ordinary people buy it.

Spices are different, not to mention easy to preserve, but also can be transported in large quantities, if the sales are opened in Zhaoling. That's a lot of demand.

As for the things that Zhaoling can sell to Nanxiangguo, there are countless ones.

Shen Bai pondered in his heart, and the speed of eating slowed down, but Murong Xuan and Zhou Jue ate quickly, and after eating, one of them drank a cup of hot tea, and sat in the inn for a while before walking back to the post station.

The sun in Nanxiangguo is much bigger than Zhaoling, and the four of them are all very arrogant, and they don't think about bringing umbrellas when they go out, and when they arrive at the post station, they all have red faces and sweat on the tip of their noses.

Cha Bai came out with an umbrella, and couldn't help but mutter: "Why don't you go out with such a big day?" It's all sunburned, right? The slave maid brought sunburn medicine, so hurry into the house and wipe it. “

Murong Xuan was born and raised in Nanxiang, and he was not afraid of the sun for a long time, Shen Bai and Zhou Jue were also very skinny, and when they were in Tai Academy, they often skipped school at noon, and they all shook their heads indifferently to say that they didn't need it, but Wei Ruzhao was so sunburned that his face was red, his eyes were misty, less detached and cold, and a little more pyrotechnic, which was a little more attractive.

Cha Bai followed Wei Ruzhao for a few months, and saw that he was uncomfortable at a glance, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, taking care of the rules, through his sleeves, he didn't dare to touch Wei Ruzhao's skin, and said softly: "Son, come into the house and rest for a while, the house has herbal tea to relieve the heat, drink a bowl of it first and then rest." “

Wei Ruzhao nodded, and helped him in by Chabai.

Knowing that the servants are all golden lords, Chabai added a little sugar to the herbal tea, and the tea was iced with well water, which was refreshing to drink, and the aftertaste was sweet, but it was not at all inferior to the passion fruit tea that Shen Bai had just drunk in the fruit shop.

They were young, and they recovered after sitting for a while, but they were also tired of walking, and they went back to their rooms to rest, but Wei Ruzhao had not recovered yet, his face was always red, and his face was sweating continuously.

Cha Bai was a little worried, and took a fan to help Wei Ruzhao fan the wind, Wei Ruzhao was uncomfortable, raised his hand and pulled off his collar, as if he felt a little too stuffy to be bound by his clothes.

His strength was not great, and when the neckline was torn open a little, his slender neck and small patches of skin were smothered white and red.

Cha Bai only glanced at it and looked away as if he was burned. But his slender neck and slightly raised Adam's apple kept coming to mind.

Amitabha.

Cha Bai silently recited a sentence, lowered his head and proposed: "Childe, the weather is too hot, I'll ask someone to fetch some water to bathe Childe." “

Wei Ruzhao nodded, and Cha Bai immediately asked the officers and soldiers of the post station to fetch hot water and send it into Wei Ruzhao's room.

Wei Ruzhao sat for a while before getting up, took two steps but staggered, Cha Bai stepped forward to hold him up, Gu Hengzhou grabbed her wrist, and his palm was amazingly hot.

Cha Bai's heart skipped a beat, and then he breathed chaotically, but fortunately, Wei Ruzhao was uncomfortable at this time, and he didn't notice it at all.

Chabai carefully helped Wei Ruzhao upstairs, and it took a while to regain his senses, and he whispered: "Childe, you seem to be suffering from heat stroke, the slave maid asked the doctor to come and show Childe." “

"Hmm."

Wei Ruzhao responded. The throat that has always been clear is dumb.

Cha Bai's heart hurt slightly, the tip of his nose was a little sour, and he inexplicably felt that Wei Ruzhao had suffered a big crime when he came to Nanxiang this time.

The bathtub in the house was already full of water, and Cha Bai helped Wei Ruzhao into the house and turned around to leave.

Wei Ruzhao led the hair to practice, and if he avoided wine and meat, he would naturally avoid women, and he would not serve him to bathe on weekdays.

However, as soon as she took a step, she heard Wei Ruzhao snort softly, as if she was suffering a great pain, she took a white step, gritted her teeth and turned back.

Wei Ruzhao's eyes were a little fluttery, his face was red, but his lips were pale.

Cha Bai knew that he was feeling the most uncomfortable, so he hurriedly raised his hand to pick up the button of his shirt, and did not forget to say, "Childe, the slave is offended." “

Cha Bai quickly helped Wei Ruzhao unbutton his clothes. Took off his shirt.

Wei Ruzhao was born white, and his clothes were gentle and bookish on weekdays, but when he took off his clothes, he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his muscles were tight, especially the muscles of his waist and abdomen were one by one, and there was no excess fat at all.

His body was also burned red, a piece of sweat, reflecting a fine light, Cha Bai didn't dare to make a mistake, and hurriedly held his arm and let him sit in the bathtub.

The body was soaked in cold water, Wei Ruzhao's brows stretched slightly, and Cha Bai's heart was like numbness, but he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went out to find a doctor.

She walked in such a hurry that she didn't notice a dark shadow speeding by the rooftop, not long before she left. secretly entered Wei Ruzhao's room.

Shen Bai ate a little bit today, and after returning to the room, he lay on the bed and yawned seven or eight times, but he couldn't fall asleep over and over.

A little irritable in his heart, Shen Bai took out the sachet containing Gu Hengzhou's hair and rubbed it slowly.

The soldiers and horses in the Muzhou Lieutenant Battalion are all thorns that have been damaged, and they should not be much better than the people in the Xinhan Battalion led by Zhao Dingyuan before, and I don't know if Brother Gu will be able to suppress those people after he arrives in Muzhou.

He must have made a military order with Emperor Hengde before going to Muzhou on this trip, and they all said that a good general can bring a good soldier no matter what kind of soldiers he brings, but how can training soldiers be as simple as others think?

The injuries on Gu Hengzhou's body in the previous life were not only suffered on the battlefield, but also many during military training.

Shen Bai felt a little uncomfortable thinking about it, Gu Hengzhou didn't worry about her, and he could still put Gu Sangu and Si by her side and watch, but she couldn't do anything for him.

After sighing a few times, Shen Bai jumped up from the bed with a carp.

She wanted to go back to see Brother Gu as soon as possible, but she couldn't just sigh, she had to hurry up to fulfill Emperor Hengde's expectations.

Shen Bai went out. wanted to talk to Wei Ruzhao about the situation this time, but when he arrived at Wei Ruzhao's room, he found that Cha Bai was not guarding outside the door.

Shen Bai raised his hand and knocked on the door, but no one in the house answered, his brows twisted slightly, and Shen Bai knocked twice.

I just came back, Uncle Guo won't go out again, right?

Shen Bai felt that it shouldn't be, hesitated for a moment, raised his foot and kicked the door open.

Stepping in, Cha Bai was not in the room, there was only a bath bucket in it, Wei Ruzhao was sitting naked, and the good-looking collarbone was vaguely visible, he seemed to be woken up by this movement, and looked at Shen Bai with sharp eyes.

If you take a bath in the house, you shouldn't say anything?

Shen Bai slandered. But he turned around and said apologetically: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I thought something was wrong when you didn't respond, and I was worried about your safety for a while, so I kicked the door, don't be angry." “

Wei Ruzhao was still uncomfortable, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and asked in a dumb voice, "What's the matter with you coming here?" “

Shen Bai remembered at this time that he had already worshiped heaven and earth with Gu Hengzhou, and he had to abide by the rules, so he cleared his throat and said seriously: "It's nothing important, I just can't be idle, I want to ask my uncle a few questions, and I'll talk about it when my uncle gets dressed first." “

After Shen Bai finished speaking, Wei Ruzhao didn't respond, but Cha Bai quickly came back with the doctor, and when he saw Shen Bai standing at the door, he asked in surprise: "Why is the young lady here?" “

Shen Bai spoke with her at the same time and asked, "Why did you hire a doctor?" “

Cha Bai replied first, saying, "The son seems to have suffered from heat stroke and is very unwell, so the slave and maid asked the doctor to come and see." “

Just go out and bask in the sun, won't it be so expensive?

Shen Bai didn't believe it, so he still turned sideways and let the doctor in, and Cha Bai also went in to serve.

With so many people watching, Shen Bai thought about it and turned back, and then saw Cha Bai helping Wei Ruzhao out of the bathtub.

Wei Ruzhao was still wearing pants, but his whole body was drenched, and the crystal water droplets scrambled down along the solid texture, lining this body more and more confusingly, the pants were already loose, and they were wet at this time and all stuck to Wei Ruzhao's long legs, tracing the shape of the muscles of his thighs clearly, but this person was uncomfortable, his head was tilted on the tea white shoulder, and he exhaled like an orchid.

Shen Bai swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

Obediently, if I hadn't been devoted to Brother Gu a long time ago, I would have been unswerving, I am afraid that I would have been hooked by Uncle Guo, a lay disciple.

Shen Bai patted his chest, kept silently reciting indecent and disrespectful in his heart, read it twice, his eyes widened, and then rushed to the side of the bed and stared at Wei Ruzhao.

Wei Ruzhao's left collarbone is clearly imprinted with a crimson mark.

Shen Bai has never eaten pork, but he has seen too many pigs running happily, and this mark is clearly sucked out.

Shen Bai subconsciously went to look at Chabai, but saw that Chabai was also shocked, and his face was still a little pale, as if a devout believer found that the Buddha he worshipped every day was defiled.

It's not tea white. Who left such a mark on Wei Ruzhao?

They were all on the road before, and they had just entered the border of Nanxiang, and they had never come into contact with anyone else, except for Chabai, who was accompanied by Shen Bai, who was also a woman.

This mark was not made by them, but by a man?

Shen Bai's eyebrows furrowed, and he asked the doctor to help Wei Ruzhao diagnose and treat him first, pulled Chabai out of the room, and asked in a low voice, "When did that mark on my uncle's collarbone appear?" You've been serving him all the way, don't you see? “

Chabai calmed down at this time, shook his head and said: "The slave maid doesn't know, the slave maid saw that the son was very uncomfortable, so she had the courage to help the son take off his clothes, and the son didn't have that mark on his body at that time." “

Didn't have it just now, where did it come from for a while? Shen Bai didn't see anyone when he entered the door.

Shen Bai frowned, asked Cha Bai to go back to take care of Wei Ruzhao first, turned his head and went to Zhou Jue's room, and didn't knock on the door, just kicked the door in.

Zhou Jue was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, when he heard this movement, he subconsciously jumped up, still holding his saber in his hand, seeing Shen Bai's face clearly, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said angrily: "Can the girl's family be quieter?" Don't know what to knock on? After speaking, he felt that something was wrong and scolded, "If you are a lonely man and a widow, you should not enter my room." “

Shen Bai didn't have the heart to argue with him, and said with a calm face: "Someone just sneaked into the post station and lightened my uncle. “

Who is your uncle, it's really smooth.

Zhou Jue subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to his mouth, he finally came back to his senses, and the hairs all over his body exploded. Stared at Shen Bai with wide eyes and asked, "What did you just say?" Who was thinned? “

Shen Bai gave Zhou Jue a knife with a cold expression, Zhou Jue realized that she was not lying, a cold sweat broke out on her back, and she hurriedly went down to summon someone for interrogation.

This time to escort Murong Xuan back, Emperor Hengde gave Zhou Jue a total of fifty Praetorian Guards, and they were all sleeping, but these Praetorian Guards did not rest.

Zhou Jue learned a lot of methods of arranging troops from Zhou Deshan, fifty Praetorian Guards, divided into three shifts according to his orders, and strictly protected all parts of the post station, Zhou Jue asked one by one, and no one found anything abnormal.

This was expected by Shen Bai, before leaving, Gu Hengzhou said that Emperor Hengde also sent thirty secret guards to protect them in secret, even if these Praetorian Guards were not aware of the nap for a while, it was impossible for the thirty secret guards to be blind and not see people. The person who left that mark on Wei Ruzhao's collarbone must not be an ordinary person.

Zhou Jue asked around, but no one knew what was going on, and sent people away and continued to be on duty.

He grabbed his hair, felt that this thing was a bit evil, and went to Wei Ruzhao's room without believing in evil, the doctor prescribed medicine to relieve the heat and let the tea boil, and smelled a little soothing incense for Wei Ruzhao, Wei Ruzhao had fallen asleep at this time, Shen Bai asked the doctor to stay at the post station first, Zhou Jue lifted the quilt and took a look, the crimson mark at Wei Ruzhao's collarbone had not yet dissipated, and it was very dazzling.

Damn, it's really thin.

Zhou Jue cursed secretly, walked out of the room, and walked around the door irritably.

This was the first time he had been on a solo mission since he was appointed to guard the front with a sword. Before leaving, his father told him a lot, and he noticed everything he should pay attention to, even if he entered the border of Nanxiang, he didn't relax, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, this kind of thing happened under his nose.

That person didn't come to Murong Xuan, and he didn't hurt Wei Ruzhao, but he just left such a mark on Wei Ruzhao, like a prank and a disguised provocation.

If that person wanted to do something to Wei Ruzhao, wouldn't Wei Ruzhao have already turned into a corpse at this time?

The more Zhou Jue thought about it, the more frightened he felt.

If something goes wrong with Uncle Guo in front of him, let alone him, the entire Zhou family will be buried with him.

But he didn't have a clue now, Zhou Jue's chest was surging with anger, and he wanted to be angry, Shen Bai settled down and the doctor came back, walked up to him and asked, "Do you think of any clues?" “

Shen Bai's tone was serious, and he didn't taunt him first like usual, Zhou Jue sighed and said truthfully: "No." “

They just arrived in Nanxiang Kingdom, and they didn't have any enmity, if someone in Hanjing stared at them and followed them all the way here, but it would be too ridiculous to sneak Wei Ruzhao lightly.

After Zhou Jue finished speaking, he squatted against the wall, Shen Bai squatted next to him, thought for a while and said, "I think it's a little suspicious to meet that girl in the inn today." “

Zhou Jue was suspicious and asked, "What girl?" “

Shen Bai said: "It's the girl in red who wants to invite my uncle to dinner, my uncle is very angry when he looks at books on weekdays, but he should have done the work of a sweeping monk in the temple, and his body should not be so weak, and he will suffer from heat stroke when he is exposed to the sun." “

Zhou Jue didn't understand Wei Ruzhao, thought for a while and said: "The sun here is indeed much stronger than Zhaoling's, and we have walked a long way today, and I also feel a little sundry when I come back." “

Shen Bai shook his head. That's not true.

After the death of Emperor Hengde in the previous life, Wei Ruzhao was moved by Zhao Che to revitalize the Wei family, at that time Wei Ruzhao went to Nanxiang alone, and soon opened up the business and trade between Nanxiang and the Wei family, Wei Ruzhao should be very familiar with Nanxiang, and have a good understanding of the business context of the Wei family in its heyday.

Shen Bai still felt that something was wrong, thought about it and said, "I think there may be something wrong with the incense on the woman in red."

Zhou Jue twisted his eyebrows, he still remembered the fragrance, it was indeed a little special, he said: "If there is a problem with the incense, we also smell it, why are we fine?" “

This asked Shen Bai, she is not a detective, how can she know the ins and outs of the matter at once?

Shen Bai pursed his lips and said, "Anyway, this matter is very strange, you first strengthen the guards on your uncle's side, and I'll go see Murong Xuan." “

Zhou Jue had no opinion on this arrangement, and Shen Bai got up to find Murong Xuan.

Murong Xuan is the prince in the end, Shen Bai didn't dare to kick his door, knocked politely, and waited for Murong Xuan to answer before pushing the door in.

Murong Xuan hadn't woken up yet, he was lying on the bed yawning, and when he saw Shen Bai coming in, he sat up and asked, "What are you doing with me when you don't sleep?" “

Shen Bai didn't say that Wei Ruzhao was lightened, but only said: "I still think that the fragrance on that person's body today is very special, have you smelled it on other people before?" Or do you perfumers in Nanxiang make different scents for everyone, so everyone's scent is different? “

Murong Xuan rubbed his eyes, with a ghostly expression, thinking that Shen Bai was full and had nothing to do, so he didn't sleep to ask him this kind of question.

He thought for a while and said: "I never use incense, and neither does the imperial sister-in-law, but those noble ladies in Nanxi like to use a little, and the rules of those incense makers are also different, just ask yourself when you get to Nanxi." “

After Murong Xuan finished speaking, he was about to fall again, and Shen Bai asked, "Except for Nanxi, is there no incense maker in other places?" “

Murong Xuan said: "Do you think that making incense is the same as making incense candles? Nanxi is the capital of our Nanxiang, the population is the most prosperous, and the feng shui is also the best, and the incense makers are naturally gathered there, and they will not stay in this kind of poor country. “

Zhaoling also has spices, although there are also a lot of exquisiteness, but it will not involve feng shui hours, as long as the spices are good enough. If the production technique is fine enough, the incense will be very good.

What Murong Xuan said seemed to be a very harsh sacrifice.

Shen Bai became more and more curious about this matter, but Murong Xuan didn't use incense, so he definitely didn't know much about making incense, and it was useless to spend it with him.

Shen Bai came out of his room, asked him to continue sleeping, changed back into women's clothes, put on a veil, said to Zhou Jue, and took Gu Sangu out again.

There are so many incense makers in Nanxi, even if the women in this town don't use incense, they should know more than Murong Xuan.

When Shen Bai went out, the sun was still quite high, she didn't wander around the city, she went to the restaurant again, ordered a pot of wine and two side dishes, and sat in the window position where the woman in red had sat before, watching the people coming and going outside the town.

In the years since the trade with Zhaoling was cut off, the domestic trade of Nanxiang was very developed, and even this border town had many foreign merchants moving around.

These people come in all shapes and sizes and are running for their livelihoods.

Shen Bai sat patiently for two hours, and when the sun was setting in the west, Shen Bai took Gu Sangu out and walked around, two streets, Shen Bai stopped under a big tree that needed to be hugged by three people, and there was a gray-haired old woman in front of her, and there was a bamboo basket in front of the old woman, and there were still a few clusters of soft white flowers left in it.

Walking closer to smell the light fragrance of flowers emanating from the basket, Shen Bai squatted down in front of her, took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to the old woman, and said, "Old man, I want to buy a cluster of flowers." “

The old woman picked a cluster from the basket and gave it to Shen Bai, and the flowers were saved with needle and thread, and they were just right in their hands. One day after being plucked, the petals were still full and not dehydrated at all.

"It smells so good." Shen Bai praised a sentence, holding the flowers but did not leave, and continued, "The old man should have sold flowers here for many years, he must have been a peerless person when he was young, I want to ask the old man about something, okay?" “

The old woman was quite calm, lifted her eyes and looked at Shen Bai for a while, and said, "I'm just an old woman who hasn't seen much of the world, and the girl is looking for the wrong person." “

Shen Bai smiled and said: "It is said that the master is hidden in the world, the old man is not so modest, I will not ask the old man in vain, what do you want, if I can give it, I will definitely not refuse." “

The old woman lowered her eyes, put away her back basket and stood up slowly, sighed and said, "The girl really recognized the wrong person, and the old woman can't help the girl." “

Shen Bai stood up and said, "The old man can help others, why can't he help me?" “
