Chapter 266: The Mystery Revealed

Shen Ruoxiao was picking up a box of incense and putting it on the tip of his nose, sniffing it gently, and couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes full of amazement.

"You're the proprietress here?"

The proprietress stroked the green silk of her ears and temples, twisted her waist, stepped forward, and stretched out her hand to put it on Shen Ruoxiao's shoulder.

"The girl is really discerning, do you fancy any incense you want?"

As she spoke, the proprietress had already picked up the box of incense in front of Shen Ruoxiao and fanned it with her hand.

"Girl, you can take a look, these samples are the same as the original, if you like it, I'll help you get a new one."

Shen Ruoxiao smiled lightly, and looked at the several incense incense recommended by the woman, but the afterglow never left the woman's body for a moment.

This woman has a beautiful face, but she has a smell of wind and dust, and it seems that she is also a person with a story!

Suddenly, the proprietress winked at Shen Ruoxiao, playfully hooking the corners of her mouth.

"Girl, pick slowly, I'll go and greet other guests first."

After speaking, she twisted her slender waist and went to beckon the other guests, Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but squint the corners of her eyes.

In such an era of male superiority and inferiority, this proprietress has some courage and brains to be able to support such a hot business alone!

"The hostess is amazing! It's really admirable that a female streamer runs the shop so properly! ”

Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but praise a few words, and looked at the proprietress with respect in her eyes.

Seeing the woman turn around and smile, Shen Ruoxiao's heart trembled suddenly, slightly surprised.

This woman is charming, but she is not natural, she is really an unpredictable person!

She hooked her mouth mysteriously, and then she buried her head in the Xiangshe and searched seriously, but her eyes glanced at the proprietress from time to time.

After looking for a while, Shen Ruoxiao rubbed his nose a little tiredly and moved his sore arm.

She has seen almost every box of incense here, and she has found no harmful condiments!

And none of them are the same as the ones Yuluo bought before, which is really strange!

So how much is true and how false is what Yuluo said?

Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but get entangled, her long eyebrows frowned slightly, she then picked out a box of fresh and elegant incense, and walked to the proprietress side.

"Boss, you have a complete range of spices, I still think this one is more suitable for me."

As he spoke, Shen Ruoxiao took the incense she had selected in her hand and shook it in front of the proprietress, deliberately pretending to be a happy look unique to her daughter's family.

The proprietress had a pair of peach blossom eyes bent like a crescent moon, and she smiled and pushed Shen Ruoxiao, "The girl is really good-looking, this butterfly lady is similar to the girl's temperament, and it is very compatible!" ”

As she spoke, she skillfully took out a box of brand-new incense, carefully packed it, and casually took a pair of incense candles and handed them to Shen Ruoxiao.

Shen Ruoxiao looked surprised, she pointed to the incense candle and frowned slightly, "Old bridesmaid, I only buy incense, and the incense candle is not what I want." ”

Hearing this, the old bridesmaid smiled and deliberately stuffed the incense candle into Shen Ruoxiao's hand alone, "This is my gift to the girl." ”

Shen Ruoxiao looked down at the pair of red candles in his hand, his eyes immediately lit up, and his hands couldn't help but tighten.

Could it be that the problem lies with the incense candles?

Just thinking about it, she pretended to be very happy and took the incense candle close and smelled it, "It's so fragrant!" The candles in the incense house are different from ordinary ones. ”

As she spoke, she asked carefully about the smell of the incense candles, and after a moment, her eyes were confused.

This incense candle is very ordinary, but some ordinary spices are added when making it, there is nothing wrong with it!

Seeing that the situation was clueless, Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but frown, and after paying the money, she went all the way to the Chunju Building with a heavy heart.

Mei Niang is well-informed, and the girls in the building use incense a lot, see if you can find out something!

In thought, her footsteps had stopped in front of the door of the Chunju Building, and after hesitating for a moment, she still entered.

After entering, she went straight to the backyard, found a girl who was practicing Xiaoqu and asked, "Do you see Mei Niang?" ”

As soon as the girl saw Shen Ruoxiao coming, she hurriedly put down the dulcimer in her hand and owed her body very respectfully.

"Miss Shen is here, Mei Niang is now training the girls in the back dance room!"

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao didn't say a word, and walked directly towards the dance room, and the incense and incense candles were tightly held in the palm of her hand.

The proprietress of this incense house is similar to the feeling of this spring house, the same red dust.

When he arrived at the dance room, the sound of silk and bamboo wind music inside was endless, until the music stopped abruptly, and Shen Ruoxiao raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Is Mei Niang here?"

Mei Niang was correcting a girl's posture in the room, and when she heard the sound, she immediately stood up and waved at the girls.

"Let's rest for a while!" Wonderful Pen Court

After saying that, she straightened up her clothes, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door.

"Miss Shen, why are you here?"

As she spoke, she hurriedly welcomed Shen Ruoxiao into the door, and sat down in the tea house that led the dance room.

Shen Ruoxiao smiled lightly, and did not beat around the bush, and directly reached out to put the incense and incense candles in front of Mei Niang.

"Mei Niang can recognize this?"

Mei Niang looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be a little confused, she picked up the incense and smelled it, "Isn't this just ordinary incense and incense candles?" Is there anything special? ”

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao deliberately pointed out the signs on the incense and incense candles to Mei Niang, "Mei Niang, look at this mark, do you know the owner of this shop?" ”

Seeing this, Mei Niang opened her eyes and looked at the bottom of the incense box and the bottom of the incense candle, and couldn't help grinning: "Oh...... It turned out to be their family's stuff! ”

Hearing Mei Niang say this, Shen Ruoxiao immediately became vigilant, she hurriedly pulled Mei Niang over and interrogated her carefully.

"Mei Niang, in this way, you know the boss of this incense house!"

"It's more than recognition," Mei Niang raised the corners of her eyes, looking proud, "The owner of this incense house is named Gu Yingying, and it was the top brand of our Spring Residence Building back then!" ”

Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but be surprised, and then nodded clearly, she rubbed her chin with a thoughtful look.

I see, no wonder she always feels that Gu Yingying has a smell of wind and dust!

Shen Ruoxiao took Mei Niang's hand and looked back and forth on the incense box, "Mei Niang, tell me about the past of the boss of this incense house!" ”

Mei Niang didn't think much about it, her originally proud face was immediately covered with a layer of sadness, and she sighed.

"This Gu Yingying is also a person with a hard life!"

Saying that, she returned the incense to Shen Ruoxiao as it was, and continued with a sad face: "Back then, she was a smash hit in this spring residence building, and her worth was many times higher than the current spring peach, but it's a pity that she is not ladylike!" ”

After saying a few words, Meiniang frowned, sighed incessantly, and became sadder than sad, as if immersed in a thick fog of sorrow.

If she had known this at that time, she would not have let Gu Yingying be ransomed easily!

Seeing this, Shen Ruoxiao became more and more curious, she reached out and snapped her fingers in front of Mei Niang's eyes, instantly pulling back Mei Niang's sorrow.

"Mei Niang, what kind of person did Gu Yingying meet? Makes you sigh like that. ”

Mei Niang came back to her senses, the crow's feet on her sideburns were a little deeper, and she glanced at the girls who were resting and playing on the side of the stage.

"Gu Yingying back then was also as young and beautiful as them, yearning for unswerving love, and one day she met a rich man, and the old man redeemed her and took her away."

"Isn't that great?" Shen Ruoxiao was a little puzzled, she frowned slightly.

Did you meet the rumored Chen Shimei?

Sure enough, Mei Niang was angry all of a sudden, and she patted the chair and stood up suddenly, "Okay? What is good, the rich old man is not a good thing, seeing that Gu Yingying can't give birth, he abandoned her like a shoe. ”

"Can't have children?" Shen Ruoxiao instantly smelled a hint of something strange, and she hurriedly grabbed the angry Meiniang, "Meiniang, you said that Gu Yingying can't have children, why is this?" ”

Shen Ruoxiao's words suddenly poked Mei Niang's tears, and she sat down on the chair with grief and anger, "It's no wonder who does our business, we have to take some drugs that hurt the body all year round to avoid accidentally getting pregnant with the guest's child, Gu Yingying was popular all over the capital back then, and there were naturally countless benefactors who came to her, and her dosage was much more than that of ordinary people, so her body was damaged and she couldn't give birth." ”

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao also sighed with some sympathy, "Alas...... It's all poor people, so how did she start a business again after being abandoned? ”

Mei Niang just recovered from the sorrow just now, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her eyes were slightly shining.

"Don't say it, Gu Yingying is really different from ordinary women, she didn't cry, make trouble and hang herself after being abandoned, but opened a spice shop with her only remaining silver, don't you say that this girl is really this piece of material, and the business is getting better and better."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao looked unimpressed, she stared at her eyebrows, and her fingertips kept rubbing the incense box.

I'm afraid that her experience in the Fengyue place made her familiar with the preferences of men, so that she could concoct spices that are popular with women!

After all, women are the ones who please themselves, and most women use incense only to attract the opposite sex or to please the man they like.

Suddenly, Shen Ruoxiao seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up, and she immediately grabbed Mei Niang's palm.

"Mei Niang, is the man who ransomed Gu Yingying's surname Zhu?"

Hearing this, Mei Niang looked surprised, she quickly nodded, "It's surnamed Zhu, how do you know Miss Shen?" ”

Mei Niang's reply was like a slap in the face, Shen Ruoxiao suddenly understood, and her deeply locked brows instantly relaxed.

That makes sense!

It must have been the man surnamed Zhu at that time who provoked Gu Yingying, and Shanmenghai swore to deceive Yingying, and after helping her redeem her, he abandoned her because she couldn't have children.

So Gu Yingying held a grudge and kept waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, and this incense became a tool for her revenge.

The housemother of the Zhu family is the pond fish that has been affected, and she has been wronged for so many years and cannot have children.

Yuluo is just a big wrongdoer, and she doesn't know the rights and wrongs of this, so she is abusive.

"Everything is right!" Shen Ruoxiao squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.
