In July, the wind was lazy and the clouds were hot, and the top of the tree was chirping layer by layer, adding a touch of heat to Sheng'an City.

When the people who got up early to catch the market carried their burdens through the dusty incense house, they couldn't help but stop, stretched their necks to look into the shop, and inhaled a few mouthfuls of refreshing fragrance before leaving satisfied.

On the second floor of Chenxiangzhai, the begonia carved small window was gently opened, and after the maid iris took a small stick to support the small window, there was a leisurely sigh behind her.

Hearing this sigh, Iris turned around, and as far as the eye could see, she was graceful, with skin like condensation, white jade lotus root arms, red carp cloud brocade, and smoke and satin. Although the gorgeous clothes are dazzling, they can't compare to the starry eyes of the owner of the gorgeous clothes.

The owner of the starry eyes is supporting his chin with his left hand, pinching a spoon with his right hand, and casually circling in the white jade bowl.

Iris took two steps forward and asked softly, "Third girl, is this bowl of broken jade lotus paste soup not to your liking?" ”

"Not ......"

Iris was puzzled: "So, third girl, why are you sighing like that?" ”

Shen Mixiang put down the spoon in her hand, her starry eyes turned slightly to look out the small window, and her tone was slightly anxious: "The newly developed spice is only the last flavor of vanilla." ”

Iris comprehended, covered her lips and smiled: "Girl, don't worry, Uncle Fan has sent someone back two days ago, and it is estimated that the batch of herbs you want will be delivered today." ”

"That being said, it's a real pain to wait."

As she spoke, Shen Mixiang inadvertently glanced out the small window, and saw a person in green clothes on the long street, hurrying up, as if he was in a hurry for eight hundred miles. The man hurried to Chenxiangzhai, dismounted and went straight into the house.

Shen Mixiang got up suddenly, and looked at iris with sparkling eyes: "It must be my vanilla that has arrived." ”

"Miss Shen, Miss Shen!" The man in Tsing Yi ran all the way upstairs, lifted the curtain and shouted out of breath.

Iris quickly stepped forward and blocked the door, and whispered, "Why are you panicking like this!" ”

The man didn't even have time to catch his breath, so he hurriedly shouted to Shen Mixiang in the house: "Third girl, Uncle Fan's goods were robbed at Jinwu Ferry!" ”

"What!" Robbed?!

Iris knew that something was serious, and hurriedly opened the curtain to let the man into the house.

Shen Mixiang's eyes widened in surprise, "What about the vanilla I brought back from Uncle Fan?" ”

"They were robbed too." That's humane.

Shen Mixiang only felt dizzy in front of her eyes, and she almost couldn't stand.

"What the hell is going on!" Shen Mixiang said coldly.

Through the screen, the man took two breaths and hurriedly explained what had happened.

"Originally, our ships had already docked, just waiting to be unloaded. But who would have thought that Duan Dagongzi of the General's Mansion took a group of officers and soldiers, and without saying a word, he directly detained our ship and even the people and goods, not to say that there was a problem with our goods, and said that he would not let the cargo be unloaded. Steward Fan and a group of workers were detained, so I took advantage of the chaos to run out and go back to find the second son, but the second son set off for Minzhou last night to ship. The eldest man went to Zhang Yuanwai's house to eat wine and get drunk last night, and he hasn't come back this morning. The little one is really useless, so I'm here to find the third girl and you have an idea. ”

The man then remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, the third girl, the eldest prince Duan also said that if the second young master can't find him within two hours, he will burn all the goods on our Shen family's ship." ”

Shen Mixiang's heart sank, at this critical moment of burning her brows, her father and second brother were not there, Duan Feibai, was this person deliberately calculated, or did he happen to run into it?
