Chapter 675: The message delivered by Rouge
Yan Feixue looked at it carefully.
Lou Yun said: "I've checked this, it's just an ordinary box of rouge. ”
Yan Feixue played with the rouge box unhurriedly, she smiled and said, "This is not ordinary rouge, this is a top-grade Hangzhou product." Lin girl, Xiaoyun doesn't know it, you can't see it as a girl. ”
Lin Luoyao said: "I don't usually use these things, even if I dress up, my maid helps me." Wait, wait, Sister Yan, let's get away again. Is this a message after all? ”
Yan Feixue said with a smile: "Naturally, but the method of transmitting news in each place of the Lianhua Society is different from the codeword." Each place has a different codeword. This code word is this box of rouge. That's right, in the eyes of outsiders, it's just an ordinary box of rouge. Even if it was snatched away, it was just a box of rouge. I don't know if I know that Lianhua will whisper, and I can't decipher the information contained in it. ”
Yan Feixue held the rouge in the palm of her hand and said, "Look at this powder box." ”
Lou Yun, Lin Luoyao, and Nangong Li got together, and looked at it carefully, they naturally couldn't see anything.
Yan Feixue prompted: "Look at the carvings on this box." ”
Nangong Li said: "This should be a peach blossom." ”
Yan Feixue said: "It's still my junior sister who is smart, and she is indeed a peach blossom." The twelve incense flowers of the Mercy Flower Society all have their own flower names, such as I am a rose, Ah Xuan is a plum blossom, and a heart lotus is a lotus. And each flower represents a month. For example, the heart lotus represents June, Ah Xuan represents December, and the other side flower of the owner represents July. And the peach blossom on this represents March. ”
"March?"
Yan Feixue nodded and said, "That's right, the things I asked are all on this small box of rouge, and I asked Tanhua what time and where the Exotic Treasure Banquet of the Star Picking Tower is." And this box is carved with peach blossoms, which proves to be in March. ”
Lin Luoyao asked, "What day is the whole thirty days of March? And what if it's a leap month?"
Yan Feixue said: "If there is a leap month, then engrave two." Don't worry, let's take a look below. ”
Lin Luoyao asked again: "I have one more thing, if the engraving on it represents the month, then what about the specific date? There are thirty days in a month, how do we know which day it is." ”
Yan Feixue turned the box over, and then there was a delicate hibiscus and a lotus flower engraved underneath. Two flowers stand side by side.
Nangong Li looked at it and said, "This flower seems to be a hibiscus, and that one is a lotus." ”
Yan Feixue smiled: "How do you understand?"
The two girls shook their heads, but Lou Yun said, "I understand that this representative should be sixteen." ”
Yan Feixue said: "Well, Xiaoyun is still smart, that's right, twelve months in a year, each month is a kind of flower, and the twelve kinds of flowers represent the first twelve days of a month." The remaining days are put together with two flowers, for example, the hibiscus represents October, which is the number ten, and the lotus flower that blooms in June, which represents the number six. ”
"This compact box has peach blossoms on top and hibiscus and lotus flowers on the bottom. This tells us that the beginning of the feast is March 16. ”
Lin Luoyao said: "Then where is it held? We can't go all over the world to inquire." ”
Yan Feixue opened the rouge box, twisted up a little bit of rouge, and put it in front of everyone's eyes.
Yan Feixue said: "Come and smell." ”
Lin Luoyao sniffed, although it was very fragrant, it was still sneezing.
Yan Feixue said, "I just told you. This box of rouge is a first-class Hangzhou goods. ”
Lin Luoyao rubbed her nose and said, "So, the place where the Exotic Treasure Banquet was held is in Hangzhou?"
Yan Feixue shook her head, she said: "I don't know much about this, I only know that Hangzhou is the last piece of information, maybe the strange treasure banquet is held in Hangzhou, maybe it is there to answer." Although I don't know what the hell Epiphany is doing, it is certain that this strange treasure banquet is related to Hangzhou City. Maybe it's inconvenient for Tanhua to reveal too much to us, since she asked us to go to Hangzhou, let's go. ”
Lin Luoyao thought to herself: "Hangzhou, it is actually under the nose of the Tianying Society. ”
Nangong Li took this box of rouge, then looked at it and said, "I didn't expect this small box of rouge to hide so much information." ”
Yan Feixue said: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with a woman buying something like rouge, and it will not be ostentatious." And like carving some flowers on the compact, there's nothing, it's just ordinary rouge sold in stores, and it's available to everyone, nothing special. This is also the clever place, every box is the same, any box can be sent out to deliver the message, even if it is stolen by someone, it doesn't matter if it is snatched, it is a big deal to change a box. ”
Lin Luoyao said: "If outsiders know about this method, wouldn't it be easy for the news of the Lianhua Society to leak?"
Yan Feixue said: "This, the color of the message is not fixed, and the agreement set by Zhao Tanhua is to change it every half a month. And it's different every time, and there is more than one kind of flower that blooms in each season. And sometimes you don't look at the color, but look at the date of the rouge. For example, whether the rouge is new and when it arrives, or when the rouge expires, or what season the flower is used to make the rouge, and even the weight of the powder box and rouge, the purchase price and selling price of rouge can all convey the message. Specifically, how to interpret the notice that you want to wait for the epiphany. It's a cumbersome order. ”
"Hey~!My head is going to explode when I remember these all day, but there is no way, who made me one of the twelve spiced flowers. Sometimes I'm really tired. ”
Lin Luoyao sympathized with her, and sometimes she was quite tired.
Lou Yun asked, "Then what should we do?"
Yan Feixue shook her head and said, "Let's clean up this mess in Bashu first, and then we will go back to the northwest first, and I will report the progress of the investigation of this matter to the prince." If you can really participate in the Exotic Treasure Banquet, you still need to build money, if I look for it in the warehouse, as for the rest...... It's nothing. But girl, Lin, I want to ask you a word. ”
Lin Luoyao asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Feixue asked seriously, "Can you still help this time?"
Lou Yun said, "Why is Sister Yan asking that?"
Yan Feixue took out the letter Murong Xuan had sent her from her arms before, and she handed it to the two of them.
Lin Luoyao didn't open it.
Yan Feixue said: "Meihua told me in the letter, she detained Miss Qiu and wanted you to help." Although things in Bashu did not go as smoothly as imagined this time, they were not so bad. At least we got some useful news. Perhaps this Strange Treasure Banquet is the breakthrough of this matter. After speaking, Yan Feixue stood up and bowed to Lou Yun, Nangong Li, and Lin Luoyao.
