Chapter 57: Awakening Dreams
When the proprietress heard this, she immediately smiled, "Of course, my Yanhong Pavilion is the most famous rouge gouache restaurant in Minxian County, if nothing else, if you can't find something satisfactory in me, then there must be no other places." ”
Situ Yimo looked at the rouge gouache that she had smelled in front of her, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked if she thought of something, "Then do you have a kind of rouge or gouache here, such as lipstick, that contains something like envy irise?" ”
"Iris?"
The proprietress frowned and thought about it carefully, "Envy iris, I've heard of it before, it has a good beauty effect, I heard that someone grinds it into powder and applies it to the face, and the face instantly becomes soft, that is, if a fifty-year-old woman paints an envy iris, she can instantly become a teenage girl!"
After speaking, she touched her aging face and sighed softly, "This envy iris is precious, where can I have an envy iris to make rouge gouache." ”
Situ Yimo thought about it, but the smell she smelled was very similar to that of an envy iris, "Is there a very special smell in rouge gouache, which is very similar to the smell of envy irises?" ”
"This ...... Particularly? The proprietress was a little confused, "Every box of rouge gouache in my shop is made by me, and it is very special." ”
"But the smell is very similar to the envy iris, this, I haven't smelled the envy iris, and I don't know its smell, but I heard that it is very faint, and ordinary people can't smell it."
Situ Yimo raised her eyebrows, she rubbed her eyebrows, the previous two also said the same, it seems that it is quite difficult to find the fragrance.
Originally, she thought that the smell was very special and that it should be easy to find, but unexpectedly, she ran to three houses, and still did not smell a similar aroma.
Is it her going in the wrong direction? But the fragrance she smelled was probably the smell of women's cosmetics!
All seven of the deceased had the same scent, which means that they had all seen the same person before they died, and that person was most likely a woman!
Find this woman, there must be a breakthrough in this case!
The proprietress saw that Situ Yimo was disappointed, she didn't want to lose such a big financier, she suddenly thought of something, and said.
"If I want to say that it smells very special, I think of it. In addition to the rouge gouache I made in this shop, there is also a one made by Miss Zhou, waking up from a dream, the rouge has a very special aroma, every time I smell it as if I have entered a dream, it makes people fascinated. ”
"Miss Zhou, wake up?" Situ Yimo frowned, she was a little curious, "Then do you have this waking dream here?" ”
The proprietress shook her head helplessly, "Not now, Miss Zhou only has four boxes of waking dreams every month, and this waking dreams are very popular, and they are sold out as soon as they come out." There should have been three boxes this month, but something happened to her brother, and she didn't have the energy to wake up again. ”
Speaking of her brother, the proprietress couldn't help but gossip, and she was still a little scared when she saw the words, she looked at the door, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so she whispered, "Miss Zhou's brother died a miserable death, and he was taken away by a female ghost!"
"Taken by a female ghost?" Situ Yimo was very surprised.
"Yes, Min County has not been peaceful recently, isn't there something about a female ghost taking her life? This week, Miss's brother was taken away by this female ghost! And that's six dead boys, and by the way, someone died today!" When the proprietress talked about the female ghost, her face was still very scared.
Situ Yimo frowned and asked, "Is the girl Zhou in your mouth the young lady of the Zhou family, and her brother is Zhou Zhijun, the second young master of the Zhou family, a wealthy businessman in Min County?" ”
"Yes, Miss Zhou and Young Master Tuesday are both concubines, although the two are not siblings, but the relationship between the two is better than that of brother and sister. I often see the young master buying jewelry and snacks for Miss Zhou on Tuesday!" The proprietress is still a little envious, she doesn't have such a good brother?
Zhou Zhijun's sister? I remember that this week Zhijun also had a marriage contract with Zhang Manlan, the daughter of the county magistrate of Minxian County, and the two people she met in Baiyan Temple last time, Zhang Manlan and Zhang Yuren, they were just to return the marriage line to Zhou Zhijun.
"I'm very interested in Miss Zhou's waking dream, if the proprietress can take the waking dream, I'll buy it at double the price." Situ Yimo is now confirming whether Miss Zhou's waking dream is the fragrance she is looking for.
"Double?" The proprietress had a golden glint in her eyes, a box of waking dreams costs forty taels, and that double costs eighty taels!
"Double is eighty taels!"
"Money is easy to say, if the proprietress can wake me up in these two days, I will pay a hundred taels."
"One, one hundred taels?" The hostess was surprised and delighted.
"Hmm."
"Okay, I'll wake up the girl tomorrow!"
"Okay, this is a deposit of fifty taels, and I will pay another fifty taels when I get awake tomorrow."
"Okay, don't worry, girl, I will wake you up tomorrow!"
Situ Yimo took out five ingots of silver and gave them to the proprietress, and when she saw that she looked like she loved money, she smiled at the corner of her eyebrows. After the matter was done, she went to the Qin Ji Teahouse.
Since the death of the owner of the Qin Ji Teahouse, the business of the teahouse has plummeted, and the three sons are busy fighting for property, and no one takes care of the business of the teahouse, resulting in the teahouse is now closing.
When Situ Yimo arrived at the Qin Ji Teahouse, there was only one small servant sitting at the counter napping, Situ Yimo looked at the teahouse that was about to form spider webs, she shook her head helplessly, it has only been a few days, and the teahouse that was thriving before has become the miserable appearance it is now.
She walked over and knocked on the door, and when she saw the little girl open her eyes and look at her, she walked in.
"This girl is here for tea? Would you like to move somewhere else? We're going to be closed in a few days, and it's no longer open to customers. The little guy yawned.
"Not doing business anymore? This Qin Ji teahouse is the best teahouse in Min County? Why don't you do it? Situ Yimo was surprised and puzzled.
The little guy glanced at Situ Yimo a few times, saw that she was dressed richly, and when she looked at her eyes, she knew that she was a foreigner, and kindly explained a few words.
"The girl looks like she is from out of town, something happened to our host, and a few young masters don't care, this teahouse can't be opened."
As soon as the words fell, he said, "If the girl wants to drink tea, you can go to the Li Ji Teahouse on the street in front, and their tea there is also very famous in our Min County." ”
Situ Yimo smiled, "But I've been walking all the way, and I'm tired, you see if you can let me have a cup of tea, money is not a problem." ”
The little guy was a little entangled, he thought for a while and said, "Girl, we don't have any good tea here, they have all been moved away by several young masters, and there are only some unknown small teas, and the taste is not so good." ”
"It's okay, I'm just quenching my thirst."
Seeing that Situ Yimo seemed to be really thirsty, the little maid wiped the table and stool clean, and went to the tearoom to make a pot of tea. It wasn't long before he came over with a pot of tea.
Situ Yimo tasted it, it was indeed not a good tea, it was not a little different from the tea she drank on weekdays, although the tea did not suit her appetite, but she did not show it on her face, but drank a big sip very heartily, because she walked all the way, and she was indeed thirsty.
"I've been hearing about female ghosts killing people on the way here, is this true or false?" Situ Yimo looked very curious.
When the little four guys heard the female ghost, they became interested, "During this time, we have been discussing this matter in Minxian County, and several people have died." If you want to say that it is not a female ghost who kills people, how can there be such a thin rope in this world that can strangle people to death! We all say that the marks on the necks of those people are caused by the hair of the female ghost. ”
"Female ghost hair?"
"Not really!"
"I saw with my own eyes the strangulation marks on our master's neck, so thin, it must be the hair of a female ghost!" The little girl couldn't help but shudder at the thought of their master's corpse.
"Your master was also captured by a female ghost?"
The little girl nodded and shook his head, looked up at the door, and saw that there was no one, so he whispered, "I think it's because our master has done too many bad things that he was robbed of his soul by a female ghost!" Our lord doesn't ask about business all day long, and he commemorates the place of fireworks every day, in my opinion, our lord is too obsessed with women to be targeted by female ghosts!"
Situ Yimo looked at the little guy's extremely honest face, smiled, and thought that this little guy was really big-hearted, and even dared to say this kind of slander to the master in front of her, an outsider.
"Before, our lord liked the green girl in the drunken Red Mansion, and he brought her home! Later, we were driven away by our young lady, and within a few days, the green girl died at the mouth of Lewei Alley, and as a result, our master also died at the mouth of Lewei Alley! We all said that it was the green girl who took the soul of our master. ”
Situ Yimo was slightly surprised, there was still this matter, why was it not written in the file? "The green girl died at the mouth of Lewei Alley? When did this happen? ”
The little girl thought for a while and said, "It was two months ago, and I remember that day was our young lady's birthday!" ”
"Why haven't I heard of this? can be liked by your master, then the green girl should be regarded as the top brand of the drunken red mansion, right? Dead top card, why don't you see anyone talking? Didn't you see the yamen to investigate the cause of Miss Green's death? ”
When the little girl heard Situ Yimo's words, he glanced at Situ Yimo suspiciously, thought about it and said, "What if the green girl is the top brand?" After all, she was such a woman, and she died a disgraceful death, and the boss of the drunken Red Mansion said that she was sick and died, and the yamen naturally didn't care. ”
Situ Yimo thought about it, the women of Fengchen are not good citizens, their deeds of sale are in the hands of others, if the boss of the drunken red mansion does not want to pursue it, the yamen will naturally not accept the case.
It's just that the green girl also died at the mouth of Lewei Alley? Is this just a coincidence? Or is Miss Green's death related to the murder?
"You just said that the Green Girl died a disgraceful death? Do you know how she died? ”
The little girl looked at Situ Yimo in surprise and surprise, how could there be a girl's family who kept asking about the dead? This girl is too curious, isn't she?
