"What else?"

Seeing that the little second brother sent the dishes over, Chen Jintong said while eating: "There is also a reason why I can make myself a "famous flower" so quickly. Chen Jintong told Bai Luoluo about Chen Baixian and Chen Yuying's arrangement.

That Bai Luoluo was originally a jealous and hateful woman, and when she heard this, she suddenly got up and was about to teach Chen Baixian a lesson, Chen Jintong saw Bai Luoluo to the extreme, and grabbed her hand.

"My God, I'm afraid that you won't dare to tell you the truth, and now that Hepan is out, you have to argue with them, the matter has been dealt with by me, let's just wait and see, you don't want to cause trouble."

"Tong'er, I wronged you, I just complained about you, but at this moment, you are indeed pitiful." Bai Luoluo was sympathetic, but Chen Jintong didn't feel that he had anything to be "pitiful" at all, "I have hugged the beauty, what do I have to be pitiful, but then again, in this imperial capital, you also have to keep your eyes open and find a wishful man." ”

"I know, but how easy is that?" If there really was someone who had a heart, she wouldn't come here alone to drink alcohol.

The two chatted for a while, Chen Jintong suddenly twitched his nostrils, got up and said, "Did you smell anything?" ”

"Food, what else can there be?" Bai Luoluo smiled, but seeing Chen Jintong's suddenly tense and solemn expression, she knew that Chen Jintong had captured something incredible, and she suddenly had a sense of crisis and clenched her fists.

Chen Jintong leaned on the window, staring at the traffic below, the ancient buildings are different from the modern high-rise buildings, the height of the ancient buildings is not very exaggerated, he suddenly saw the high-rise carriage and the horse galloping over, probably this mysterious fragrance is the person in the carriage wafting out.

Chen Jintong stood up vigilantly.

"You pay, I'll go first." Bai Luoluo nodded hurriedly, Chen Jintong jumped down from the second floor, chasing the ethereal breath, the smell was in a trance, sometimes rich and sometimes dissipated, after a turn, the carriage was gone, and the breath was gone.

If it weren't for Chen Jintong's real sniff just now, she would even wonder if there was any obstacle to her sense of smell at this moment, she paused at the mouth of the alley, but the slightest wisp of breath did not exist, she could only sigh and retreat.

There was a crude medicine shop in the distance, Chen Jintong saw that there was a cousin busy inside, she stepped in, and her sensitive memory of the breath was still fresh, she needed to identify what the smell was.

If it wasn't a Chinese herbal medicine, it must be some kind of spice, but there were very few wants with the smell of Chinese herbal medicine, she entered the pharmacy, greeted people with a smile, and Chen Jintong took out a tael of silver.

"I'll find a medicinal herb, or a lot, I'll come by myself, you're busy with yours." The cousin was also the one who saw the money and opened his eyes, and motioned to Chen Jintong to take it easy, Chen Jintong tore open the placket and bound his drunken eyes, so that the sight was blocked, and sure enough, the sense of smell was more sensitive than just now, she approached the wooden shelf, and opened one drawer after another to smell.

It was ridiculous to watch, but because she took Chen Jintong's money, she didn't dare to ridicule, Chen Jintong was at a loss, and just when she was about to give up, she suddenly smelled almost the same smell in a drawer.

"That's right! That's it! ”

Chen Jintong took off the blindfold, stared at the powder in the drawer, and grabbed a handful.

"Oops!" Lang Zhong, who was giving people a pulse, bounced, and the big lama approached Chen Jintong, and slapped on Chen Jintong's palm with a snap, "Dead man's bones, who would dare to give you so much mandala powder without the order of the imperial court, what do you little girl want to do with this?" Stop it for me, if you want to buy it, go to the place of household registration where you say you are to open a certificate, and I will sell it to you if you have the county master's nine-fold seal. ”

"Mandala powder?" Chen Jintong muttered, "What is that for?" ”

"Girl, girl, come here, borrow a step to speak!" The person who greeted Chen Jintong before tugged at her sleeve, and the person was good at observing words and feelings, knowing that Chen Jintong didn't really want mandala powder, and his purpose was not here.

Chen Jintong was also very affectionate, knowing that there was no free lunch, the man smiled weirdly, Chen Jintong's one or two pieces of silver had been thrown to the man, "Say, what does this mandala do?" ”

Chen Jintong asked, and the man hurriedly explained that it was mainly used as an analgesic in Zhongjing, but the gas would hallucinate after ignition, and many dignitaries and nobles were so addicted to this that they sniffed so much that they were delirious and killed people.

"Take a step back, this mandala is poisonous, and when it doesn't burn, the fragrance is far clearer, but if you smell too much, it will damage people's respiratory tract, girl." That man gave Chen Jintong a handful of medicine.

Chen Jintong nodded.

Coming out of the pharmacy, Chen Jintong walked back silently, and saw Bai Luoluo from afar, the little county lord was panting like a cow, she thought that Chen Jintong had caught the thief, after all, she was such a person who likes to fight grievances.

"What are you doing, safe?" Bai Luoluo approached Chen Jintong and asked with concern, Chen Jintong forced a smile, "I just smelled a strange smell, this smell often appears, according to my experience, as long as this smell appears, bad things will happen." ”

"Superstition, hahaha." Bai Luoluo saw that Chen Jintong was intact, and naturally relieved, the two walked forward hand in hand, Chen Jintong looked at a wooden sign on the side of the road, what pattern was engraved on it, she pointed, "What does it mean that wooden sign has a carriage painted on it?" ”

"Oh, this!" Bai Luoluo smiled and groaned, "This is Suzaku Street, ordinary people's carriages are not allowed to approach, only the carriages of the royal family can gallop, to the effect that everyone should not exceed the rules." ”

Chen Jintong thought about it for a while, suddenly thought of the carriage he had just seen, and seemed to gradually understand something.

The smell must have come from the palace.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Chen Jintong was still worried, Zhang Fu and Jiuxing both arrived, Zhang Fu's tray was a pencil, which was almost exactly the same as a modern pencil, Zhang Fu smiled, "The nearby stationery stores have entered our pencils for sale, and the young lady in Beijing and the enlightened children like to use this, and the business is very good." ”

Chen Jintong threw away the doubts that lingered in his mind, took the pencil and looked at it, and found that the sample was very good, the stone grinding was compact, the color was jet black, and the appearance was smooth.

"Very good, in the future, you will make steady progress, you step back first." It stands to reason that Chen Jintong should have performed two sentences, but she just nodded on the matter.

That Zhang Fu never longed to be praised by Chen Jintong, he was not arrogant or discouraged, and after mentioning a word, he went early, Chen Jintong saw that Boss Zhang had gone, and waved his hand to Jiuxing, "I have something to do here, you find someone from Mingyue Villa to investigate, and ......"
