Chapter 1211: Half a Face
Nanyan took a breath of cold air.
She wants to know too!
Originally, from the letter Si Zhongwen, she thought that she had probably figured out her life experience, and then she met the group of liars from Meng Ke and Arislan, which made her think that she was the Nanming county lord of their country, but later she learned that it was not at all.
Her background has once again become a mystery.
Unexpectedly, the relics of Empress Xianchen that Zhu Feng brought up, a small sachet, evoked her even more memories, or feelings.
Now, among the things left by the old grandmother, the same sachet was found.
Even the taste is exactly the same.
Could it be that the sachet of his own, and the sachet left by Queen Xianchen, came from the hand of one person?
Who could it be?
Why did he make a sachet, one would be in the hands of the Empress of Yanguo, and the other would be on his body.
The more Nanyan thought about it, the more he felt like he was in turmoil, he seemed to be trapped in a whirlpool, he thought he could get out, but a storm surged, and he was thrown into the bottom of the water, and he couldn't break free.
She had a faint feeling that she was being tricked by fate and was about to suffocate.
Seeing her frowning and looking solemn, Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly asked again, "Niangniang, are you okay?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Nanyan glanced up at her, then looked at the two sachets in her hand, and reluctantly shook her head: "I'm fine." β
"And thisβ"
"Don't make a noise just yet."
Nanyan said, put the two sachets into the purse, tied the bags, stuffed them into his arms, took out the scattered swaddling clothes, looked at them deeply, folded them and put them back.
She originally wanted to take a look at the other things in the cabinet, but at this time, the voice of the maid came from outside: "Qiqi Guifei Niangniang, the banquet has been prepared, and Madame has invited Niangniang to the banquet." β
ββ¦β¦β
Nanyan glanced back, sighed, and said, "Let's go." β
Ran Xiaoyu nodded, helped her lock the cabinet, and then helped her out.
Sure enough, the banquet has been set up in the lobby, although Gu Tingchun said that it was a "light wine and thin banquet", but after all, it was to entertain the concubine Niangniang, where did he dare to slack off, it was all some delicacies from the mountains and seas, but Nanyan had a heavy heart and no appetite, so he only barely moved two chopsticks, so he deduced that the time was not early, and he wanted to leave.
Gu Tingchun sent her to the door.
Nanyan also told her a few words, let her take good care of her body, and after speaking, she got into the carriage and left the Si family.
After walking out of this street, there is a market in front of you.
In the distance, I heard a lively sound, and some fragrance came from the air, Nanyan frowned subconsciously, reached out and lifted the corner of the curtain to look out.
It turned out that this place was selling some spices.
Vendors on both sides of the street opened sacks full of spices and placed them on the ground, loudly soliciting customers, and many people on the street looked around and bought what they liked.
Very lively.
It's just that the carriage is not easy to pass.
Nanyan thought about it, and then instructed the coachman: "Let's get off here, you go around from the other side and come to the end of the street to pick us up." β
"Yes."
Ran Xiaoyu helped her get out of the car, and the coachman drove the carriage to the other side.
The two of them walked in this crowded market, and of course Ran Xiaoyu knew that she must be trying to find the other spices used in the sachet now, so she also helped her look at it seriously.
As he walked, Nanyan smelled a faint, familiar fragrance in the air.
She walked up to a small vendor and saw several baskets and sacks beside him, including a smaller sack containing half a bag of orange-yellow and lumpy spices of various sizes.
When I smelled it, it was a familiar smell.
Nanyan asked, "Boss, what kind of incense is this?" β
The peddler said, "Madame has eyesight, this is the only one on this street, benzoin." β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
Sure enough, it's benzoin!
Nanyan picked up a piece and put it under her nose and sniffed it, and when she smelled it, the rich smell rushed to the top of her head, so that she couldn't help but sneeze, and she said, "The only one? Is it only you? β
"Of course."
"Why is it so rare? Isn't the spice business booming right now? Why don't other bosses sell this? β
"Sell? It has to be in stock, too. The spice was originally produced in small quantities, and the transportation route was long, and there were so many dangers along the way. Madame, don't look at this little bag, how many people have exchanged their lives for it! β
"Long way? Where did it come from? β
"That's a long way off. We were trading with the merchants over there in the White Dragon City, and they bought them from the merchants further west. β
"White Dragon City?"
Nanyan has words.
The peddler talked for a long time, and said with a smile: "Madam, do you want to buy it?" I don't think others can afford to bid, you are a decent person, that's why I tell you so much. β
Meaning, you've already asked, why don't you buy it?
Nanyan smiled and asked Ran Xiaoyu to give him a piece of silver, and the vendor weighed two taels of benzoin for her with a smile, carefully wrapped it and handed it to her, saying, "Madame, go slowly, next time you want to find any spices, come to me." β
Nanyan smiled: "Okay." β
handed the paper bag to Ran Xiaoyu, and the two turned around and walked forward.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "What White Dragon City? Why haven't I heard of it? β
Nanyan said: "Although these spices come from the countries of the Western Regions, those countries are too far away from our Great Yan Dynasty, and now, the emperor has not completely opened the border barrier, and many caravans have not been able to enter the Central Plains, so some people will rest in the oasis near the water source on the border, and trade by the way." There were more people coming and going, and over time, those oases formed a scale of transactions, and gradually became cities, although there were no owners, but they were much more lively than many places. β
"And like that?"
"I've heard my grandmother mention it before, at that time, we hadn't opened a treaty port here, and we relied on black market transactions to and fro, so it was lively over there."
"I want to see it."
Nanyan smiled: "Maybe, there will be a chance." β
As they spoke, they walked on, and in a short time they came out of the lively street, and when they looked up, they saw a carriage in front of them.
Nanyan said: "The coachman is fast, he arrived so soon." β
After speaking, he was going to take Ran Xiaoyu over.
But just as she took a step, Ran Xiaoyu suddenly grabbed her: "Wait a minute, Niangniang." β
"Huh? What's wrong? β
Nanyan looked at her in surprise, and then looked at the carriage.
Ran Xiaoyu also stared at the carriage, but said, "That's not our carriage!" β
"What?"
Nanyan was startled for a moment, and then carefully identified it, and found that although the carriage was somewhat similar to theirs, and the horses were also black, it was really not one.
I almost confessed my mistake.
And at this moment, the curtain on the carriage opened slightly, ://./8_8242/
