A smell like a fragrance of flowers, and like a smell of grass and trees, has been lingering on the tip of Su Jingye's nose since he entered the door, and it smells inexplicably familiar, the more you go inside, the stronger the smell becomes.

"What kind of smell is this, it smells so good, it feels quite comfortable." It seems that this matter is not Su Jingye's delusion, and several people behind him can also smell it.

"The taste is strange, I can't tell what it is, but it feels familiar." Zhao Ming's words Su Jingye still felt reasonable, but Shi Zhengzhi's words had to make him face it squarely.

"What? Have you ever smelled this similar scent somewhere? Or Mrs. Shi used such a flavor when she was fiddling with spices at home. Su Jingye took a deep breath and walked in the direction where the fragrance came from.

"Lord Wang, this is an overestimation of her, she has always only liked to fiddle with swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and has never been interested in these things," Su Jingye just asked casually, but Shi Zhengzhi couldn't stop talking when he mentioned his wife.

"If it weren't for the fact that I was led by the princess for a few days and cultivated a little elegant atmosphere, as soon as I got home, she would have tried to compete with me, why would I still have the leisure to cook like now, although things are really not very good."

This was originally the private conversation of Su Jingye and Shi Zhengzhi, and Zhao Ming was particularly redundant on the side. But he was not empty, and specially wrote down Shi Zhengzhi's last sentence quietly.

If Shi Zhengzhi dared to choke with himself next time, he would throw this word out as a shield.

Hearing Shi Zheng's praise for Jiang Liuyu in his words, Su Jingye felt very embarrassed for her, grinned and stretched out her right hand to scratch the back of her head, and the look on her face was also a little embarrassed.

"You reminded me of this, I just think this smell is familiar, like the one I often smell around me."

There is nothing special about this room compared to the previous one, and if you really want to talk about it, the corners of the bed are exceptionally clean. Su Jingye smelled the smell until he found the back of the bed, looked down, and saw a sachet embroidered with patterns lying there quietly.

"What is this?" Shi Zhengzhi came forward to greet curiously, Zhao Ming walked beside him, and interjected with a little ruinous atmosphere: "You can see it from the hot light, it must be the spices collected by the woman's family." ”

Hearing this, Shi Zhengzhi only glanced at him lightly, his mouth was closed, and he didn't bother to talk to him.

"Lord Zhao, I'm afraid I guessed wrong." Su Jingye reached out and opened the bag, and took out a small porcelain jar with extremely delicate decoration from inside. When I opened it, I saw that it was full of white paste.

Su Jingye, who was also disappointed, subconsciously opened the jar, and the original smell in it came to his face, making him instantly remember that when he checked and rummaged for clues in the drunken building in the morning, he also smelled a similar smell in the room where the deceased was lying.

Because of the strong smell in the room, and interspersed with the fat powder incense used by the girls in the drunken building, he only felt a little familiar at the time, and didn't pay much attention to it.

"This is something for those girls to take care of their faces, and it feels like it's not much different from what the princess of this king did." Su Jingye stained it a little with his fingertips, and handed the jar to Zhao Ming.

This is deliberately sold in other people's stores to make money, and naturally it is a carefully improved formula, how can others make it if they want to.

Zhao Ming didn't react to what Su Jingye's princess was doing, and thought that he was bragging. After agreeing with a smile, Zhao Ming put the small jar close to the tip of his nose, and the strong smell suddenly stimulated him to sneeze.

"It smells so good!" Zhao Ming smacked his lips and exclaimed, and even his eyes became much brighter because of his sneezing, "This singing girl actually used such a good thing, it can be seen that this opera team is not simple." ”

"If it is my wife's shop, as long as you use a few taels of silver, you can buy something of similar quality, where is the need for Lord Zhao to feel so emotional." Su Jingye saw the stitches, and spared no effort to praise Jiang Liuyu again, and his eyes instructed Shi Zhengzhi to try it too.

Shi Zhengzhi shook his head and said no, the position he was standing now was not far away, and he was already sure that the smell was very familiar, and there was no need to test it again.

"This thing~" The proprietress was outside the door, listening to a few people in the room chattering for a while, but still didn't come out, before poking her head out and looking in from the door.

As soon as she saw the sachet embroidered with orchids in Su Jingye's hand, she couldn't help but exclaim, and only then did she react and hurriedly cover her mouth.

"What does the shopkeeper have to say?" Speaking of which, the proprietress is also a woman who loves beauty, and she may be able to find something. Su Jingye asked, then opened the bag, took the small jar from Zhao Ming's hand and stuffed it back in.

The proprietress leaned on the side of the door and smiled embarrassedly with her handkerchief. "I can't say anything, but I think this smell is particularly good, and when I saw this sachet, I suddenly remembered it."

This kind of packaging is very rare in the capital, and it seems to have just come out in the past few days. The slave family has always been very curious, but they thought that this thing was expensive, so they thought about saving more money and then buying it, not thinking that this girl would have the same thing. ”

"Then you should know where this thing is sold."

Now the troupe in the inn is empty, and there is only one clue in their hands. Shi Zhengzhi hurriedly asked, and at the same time thought that he could find out where the store was, and he could bring one back to Xiang Fanhua.

"I'm really sorry, this thing has just been seen by the slave family in the past few days, I really don't know where it is, and not many people in the city know about it." The proprietress pursed her mouth, a little uncomfortable on her face, as if she was embarrassed by her powerlessness.

Several people in the room retracted their gaze, and their faces couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Seeing this, the proprietress couldn't bear it, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly added another sentence.

"By the way, I remember that there is a fragrant grandmother living in Sweet Water Lane north of Xuanwu Street, as long as she smells the spices, she can say very accurately with her eyes closed."

"In addition, this grandmother has always liked to collect all kinds of spices, I guess she can recognize this thing, why don't the adults ask her."

Several people looked at each other when they heard this, and Su Jingye put away the things with one hand, and asked more in disbelief. "You recognize the scents, but can you know which store they come from?"

"The prince is joking at this, since it is a spice collected from outside, he naturally knows what the fragrance is, and how can he not know the store." The proprietress gave him this question amusedly, and quickly covered her mouth and smiled.

Su Jingye's face was furious, and he coughed, "Sure enough, then thank you for the reminder of the proprietress and ask the proprietress to pay more attention, if someone from the troupe comes to pick up something, you must quickly send someone over to inform Lord Zhao." ”

Zhao Ming was still wandering into the world, and was suddenly called by Su Jingye, and he was so frightened that his body suddenly trembled, and after finding that there was nothing, he patted his chest and put his heart down.

"What's the matter, does Lord Zhao have any other opinions?" Shi Zhengzhi grinned twice, Su Jingye turned his head when he heard the sound, Zhao Ming hurriedly waved his hand, and Shi Zhengzhi was white again.

"Xia Guan just wants to say, then the prince will leave for Sweetwater Lane to find someone now?"

"Otherwise, what else can you do, you can't let the case fall into a bottleneck." Su Jingye sighed, nodded to the proprietress and the remaining two people understood and went out behind them.

The officials were also very polite, and after closing the door of the house, they went out through the side door of the courtyard and ran to the carriage outside to wait.

"There are many interruptions today, and thank you for the cooperation of the boss."

At this time, the shopkeeper who was in charge of the yard finally had to be vacated, and when he saw so many people standing in front of the counter, he was very cramped to grab the apron on his body and wipe his hands clean, and stood side by side with his wife in fear.

After Su Jingye thanked him, he also nodded to the shopkeeper before going out with the two people behind him.

"But even if you know the store, you may not be able to get any results." Zhao Ming was able to hold his breath and endure it until he got into the carriage before he spoke. "It was a few days ago, and the people in the spice shop may not be able to identify who came to buy at the time,"

"It's also a hazy appearance, plus there are no good painters in the yamen, and the picture drawn according to the appearance may not be recognized even if I stand in front of me, so it's not in vain."

Su Jingye and Shi Zhengzhi glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing: "Lord Zhao is powerful now, and he will draw inferences from others, but if you say this, aren't you afraid of affecting your morale?" ”

"What's more, you said that there are no good painters, so the imperial court allocates so much silver every year, isn't it enough for you to find a few more powerful portrait painters? It won't be kept privately by Lord Zhao. ”

Zhao Ming gave Shi Zhengzhi a chill in his back, and he waved his hand and shook his head. "Lord Shi doesn't dare to say this, in front of the prince, you can't speak without concealment."

"Xia Guan is not in some rich official position, how can he dare to swallow this bit of silver, just enough to go up, and he doesn't dare to report it to ask for more, after all, there are people on these things, and Xia Guan doesn't want to be dealt with inexplicably."

Su Jingye listened to his words, and couldn't dare to start where to start, so he had to sigh half-breathlessly, "Lord Zhao is always afraid that many people don't get it, and he also said to be cautious, how can he speak so straightforwardly." ”

"Don't dare to say more, you have said enough in front of this king, but it is not contrary to yourself?"
