Chapter 10 The Fragrance of Orchids
In Jiang Yichen's mind, the fragmented information seems to have found a series point, the old master's behavior and the behavior and demeanor of Bao Inquiring after the map was robbed are almost the same, in this way, Bao Inquiring grabbed the other party's chest, only to expect that the other party was a woman, and combined with Bao Inquire's words, the woman is also likely to be the girl in the Qinglou, and isn't this exactly where the Qinglou is?
The more I thought about it, the more shocked I became, Lan Xiang Lanxiang, the courtyard of the orchid I saw in the alley just now, the style of the building, it seems to be the same as here, if it is the same place, it is not impossible.
The woman in purple was the woman who grabbed the picture that day!
The relationship between the proprietress of Yunbo Inn and the woman in purple is extraordinary, and she seems to be quite attentive to herself, is it out of a concern or for another purpose? The woman in purple is tracking and protecting herself? By the way, the proprietress looked at herself, it seems to be the same as the eyes of Liu Qi looking at herself that day, could it be that the innkeeper is also an uncle!?
When Jiang Yichen fell into deep thought, the golden cup of jade wine was only a millimeter away from his mouth, but there was no reaction. The woman in pink who pulled him in thought that the young chick was stupid and ashamed, and was about to pour him a few glasses first, so that he could let go of the shackles of the young man, but when she handed the wine glass to the young man's mouth, she was stopped by a white jade hand.
"Sister Xin, this child is my distant cousin, don't bully him, give him to me. The words of the command, however, have a pleading tone, which makes people listen to them well.
Although the woman in pink who was called Sister Xin knew that what the person said was not true, she had no choice but to fly away like this with a few taels of silver that was about to arrive, but she dared not to refuse, but said happily: "Then Sister Xiaolan will have to thank her sister another day!"
The woman who cut off her beard halfway was the purple-clothed woman who snatched the map from Bao Inquiry's hand, had a close relationship with the proprietress of Yunbo Inn, and had a face-to-face with Jiang Yichen in the alley, one of the eight red cards of Yichun Courtyard, Ruolan.
Jiang Yichen was dragged away again in a trance, and this time after the hustle and bustle of the road, he was dragged into a secluded room.
The moment he was dragged away, the fragrance of Youlan rushed in, and immediately, Jiang Yichen already knew who the woman who was pulling him was.
Lonely men and widows are in the same room, however, the atmosphere is not as embarrassing as imagined, Jiang Yichen is full of questions and is about to be solved, just in time to find the exact answer from Ruolan, and Ruolan is annoyed by Jiang Yichen's inexplicable behavior today, and is also trying to scold a few words to vent her anger.
"You?" "You!" the two of them spoke almost at the same time, "What are you doing here!Do you know what kind of place this is!?" Ruolan grabbed Jiang Yichen before he spoke.
"I, I, this, I don't know, isn't this Yichun Courtyard, aren't you, also here. Jiang Yichen's voice became smaller and quieter the more he spoke.
Over there, Ruolan was already glaring angrily, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and squeezed out the words from between her teeth: "The old lady is one of the eight red cards of this Yichun Courtyard! Why can't you ?!!! here?"
"Ahh......h
"Ahhh!!h
"Sister, sister, it hurts, don't screw it anymore. Jiang Yichen begged, feeling that his ears were about to be screwed off.
"Whoever is your sister, don't be ashamed. Although she said this, Ruolan was quite comfortable listening to it in her heart, so she slowly relaxed her strength and let go of the stinky boy in front of her.
"Say!Why did you come here?" Ruolan Zhengse asked, scolding in her heart, stinky boy, I didn't know the inspection when I just got out of the island, I came to this place, I have to report to Sister Ling.
"I, I don't know, when I passed by the gate, I was dragged in by the sister just now. Jiang Yichen replied honestly.
Seeing Ruolan's eyes round again, she was about to twist her ears again, and she didn't know where she answered badly, so she quickly protected her ears, shrank up, and said, "That's the case, I don't know why I walked into the alley in the morning, and then I accidentally smelled the orchid, so I wanted to find out where the scent of orchids came from, and then climbed to the wall, and then was seen by my sister, and then ......."
Jiang Yichen said that he didn't dare to continue, did he want to say, "My sister is very good-looking, I'm stupid"?
Who knew that Ruolan had already seen through Jiang Yichen's mental activities, and helped Jiang Yichen receive "And then, my sister is very good-looking, you are stupid, and when you are glared at by your sister, you will collide with a little girl like a deer who has not left the boudoir, and you are so ashamed that you don't know what to do, so you ran to the street in a daze, and unconsciously walked to the gate of our Yichun Courtyard, and was dragged in by my sisters when I was confused." I'm right. ”
Ruolan looked at Jiang Yichen's surprised expression, thinking that this stinky boy was really easy to guess, and couldn't help but smile proudly. And she had already taken off her veil in her room, and this smile made Jiang Yichen look stupid, and sure enough, she was pulled out of her ears again.
"Stinky boy, he didn't learn well when he first came out of the island, he always stared at women in such a daze, and sooner or later someone would gouge out his eyeballs. Ruolan reprimanded.
This time, Jiang Yichen didn't answer Ruolan's words, and quickly reacted from the words, and his guess was really not bad: "My sister is really also an uncle's person, and so is the innkeeper?"
"Uh......" Ruolan was stunned for a moment, but then came to her senses, and said that it was nothing to leak her mouth, "Hey, stinky boy, why did you suddenly become smarter." Yes, Uncle Ling is Sister Ling and my great benefactor, and we make a living here, so we are here to help the Daoyi League collect some information. ”
All the picture scenes and clues have been strung together into a complete vein in his mind, and Jiang Yichen answered with affirmation, "The person who took the map of Jiangning County from Bao Diwen's hand yesterday is also my sister." ”
"Yes!" Ruolan didn't want to hide it, just wanted to see how stupid this kid could be, and whether it was possible to complete a simple exploration task, now it seems that although the reaction loop is a little slower, it still turns a corner, and the children can be taught, and the children can be taught~
Subsequently, Ruolan very, very, and quite patiently mother-in-law carried out various "adjustments" to Jiang Yichen on all kinds of common sense and rules, thinking that she had completed the task of "teaching him more when you have time" explained by Shen Xinling.
Who would have thought that one of the eight red cards of Yichun Courtyard, which is gentle and elegant in front of ordinary people, would be so profligate behind closed doors, fortunately, Jiang Yichen is not a person who can speak well, but he is a good listener, and he actually listened to it as it was, as for how much he can understand, how much he can understand, and how much he can memorize, he has to ask himself.
It is also thanks to Ruolan, as one of the eight red cards of Yichun Courtyard, that she has considerable freedom, and the third aunt of the old bustard did not think too much about it after seeing Ruolan pull a young man to her room, nor did she let the guests disturb her.
It wasn't until the night that Ruolan took him to Shen Xinling after "training" and "entertaining" Jiang Yichen.
The three of them summed up the information they had obtained recently, and it was expected that the Qianzhulin Wine Workshop would have nothing to do with the Cardinal Sect, and they would definitely take action against the Daoyi League or directly against Juyuan in the near future. Shen Xinling made detailed arrangements for the task of exploring the Qianzhulin Wine Workshop and handed it to Jiang Yichen.
......
(Majiayi, Jiangning County)
After giving the task that night, the next day, Jiang Yichen went all the way to the west non-stop, and after two days of running, he finally entered the boundary of Jiangning County, and stored his bags and small brown horses in Majiayi, and after a short rest, he found the direction drawn on the map and touched the thousand bamboo forests opposite Majiayi.
That map was naturally the map of Jiangning County that Ruolan snatched from Bao Inquiry.
In this mission, Jiang Yichen also did his homework with the help of Shen Xinling and Ruolan, although it was easy for the two of them to complete, but for Jiang Yichen, who had no experience in the rivers and lakes, if any emergency situation was not handled properly, it would inevitably be life-threatening, and the two of them were also very attentive to Jiang Yichen.
Although the sense of direction is not very good, fortunately, Jiang Yichen took advantage of the general direction marked on the map, and before he could stun himself, he went around to the back of the side of the wine shop where the snake and scorpion girl Hongyue of the Thousand Bamboo Forest was stationed.
The brewery has been in existence for five years in the Thousand Bamboo Forest, mainly harvesting and brewing bamboo sake, and also producing bamboo leaf green and burning knives. It is also well-known in Jiangning County, and has won the trust of the people of Taoyuan Town a year ago, and has been supplying bamboo wine for a long time.
The address of the winery is naturally marked in detail on the map, but unless it is to buy wine, the winery is mostly to send wine, and there are few merchants coming and going. Jiang Yichen is here to secretly investigate the situation, and he can't go directly and blatantly and completely expose himself to the other party's eyelids, so this operation is completely a latent investigation operation.
Jiang Yichen crouched on the small hill and overlooked, and the general situation of the winery was already in full view.
Just like Shen Xinling's mark on the map, the winery is located in a large courtyard fenced with bamboo fences, and the three houses are distributed in a concave shape, one is the residence of Hongyue and Yu Tao, one is the residence of those guys, and the largest one is the wine cellar. Outside the house, there are large and small wine tanks and wine jars.
The most important goal of this trip is the wine cellar.
