When the official of the public post saw Du Chang coming out of the small courtyard with a smile, he knew that his matter was done. For this recommendation, the official received a large sum of money from Du Chang. If the matter was not completed, he would naturally have to return it. It was finally "safe". Even though the chief official was smiling happily, there was something he couldn't understand: "Although the young master's status is noble, she is not as good as the prince after all. Even the governor is just a ghost." Mr. Su has such good intentions, why do you do the opposite?"

"Because I have a unique vision." Du Chang said something enigmatic.

He hummed a tune along the way, twirling his beard and shaking his head. He had become the pride of wealthy businessmen. He was being watched by Xuan Ying without realizing it. Xuan Ying was only responsible for watching. Later, it was Bai Ying who went into battle.

In the blink of an eye, it's evening.

Nanci has come back and is reporting on the "work" situation: "Actually, Fei's daughter is quite helpless. She doesn't want to be a chess piece. She is forced by her father to serve as a last resort. She said that she has no good writing skills." But I knew from a young age that I couldn’t be a matchmaker, so I accepted this fate.”

"Does she have a sweetheart?" Ying Shu asked.

Nanci shook his head: "I also planned to help her, but she said that she didn't. She said that she regarded all men as masters and believed that if she didn't serve her well, she would be beaten severely. With such a mentality, how could she Are you passionate about men?"

Ying Shu didn't say anything. At this time, Bai Ying was already attracted by Qing Shu.

The place where Du Chang currently lives is a small village, and there is no private courtyard to rent out. The couple currently lives in a courtyard. The population of such a courtyard is constantly moving, so it is very suitable for Bai Liu to sneak in. Bai Xi didn't even talk to the landlord. Duo politely said: "My master wants to go to Yiju, and let us rent a temporary residence for slaves in advance. I think your place is quite suitable. My master is willing to pay a high price to rent your property as a temporary residence for slaves and handymen. The price It’s easy to say, but to avoid trouble, I have to check the place of residence of the people living here first.”

There are seven or eight families living in this compound, all of whom live for short periods of time, so the rent cannot be raised. When the landlord heard that a large family had arrived, he was immediately excited and made a rent payment. After receiving the deposit, the landlord He then provided the copied information about his residence and residence to his “future employer.” While patting his chest, he assured: "Xiaomin, this courtyard is an ancestral property. Although it is divided according to the courtyard, it is suitable for temporarily housing followers and slaves. It is convenient to keep. The tenants are all short-term renters. Although The tenancy period is seven days, but Xiaomin also copied the tenants' registration and past residence in accordance with the rules set by the yamen. Every tenant guaranteed to be a good household, and none of them had an unknown origin, and this time it was also waiting for Before the lease expires, we will inform them to find another place to live, and keeping it will not cause any official trouble."

Bai Lao looked through the stack of papers in her hand, stopped, and asked, "Is this Madam Du from Jiankang?"

"She came from Huainan with her husband from Jiankang, but they were not from Jiankang originally. Although the couple have lived here the longest among the recent tenants, they still follow a seven-day lease."

"Which room does she live in? Is she in the room now?"

"Her man went out early in the morning. She should be in the room. She lives in the room to the north of the patio. It is the most spacious room. Her man is very generous." The landlord carefully looked at Bai Xuan's face. , but for a more generous customer who rented the entire yard for three months at double the price, he would have been reluctant to let Du Chang and his wife move out.

"It's like this. My master's mother-in-law is not in good health. Unfortunately, the servant who serves her accidentally twisted her waist and is not suitable to accompany her. The master has told her that it is best to hire a decent servant in Huainan. The master's Fu's mother is from Linxiang, and Mrs. Du happens to be too. It would be best if she could occasionally make some Linxiang-style side dishes." Bai said, "I'll go talk to her."

The landlord originally wanted to persuade Bai Lao to give up the idea, but he was afraid that he would be blamed, so he swallowed his words. After a while, when Bai Lao left with a sullen face, Mrs. Du leaned against the door and spat outside. With one mouthful, he raised his eyebrows and squinted his eyes, a long complaint came out from between his two bright red lips.

"No matter how noble your master is, there is no reason to force good people to be slaves, let alone the master's mother-in-law. Isn't she just an old servant? If you don't take a long look to see who I am, how can I provide for your family? Driven by old servants? My family can also afford to buy servants, but we are just staying in Huainan County temporarily and have no intention of settling down here, so there is no need to buy servants first. Lowly people who are slaves and maids, there are You are so arrogant, you dare to show off in front of me, saying that this yard has been rented by you all. If I don't agree to go to your house as a slave, I have no choice but to move. If you move, move away. We are already here. I planned to rent a single-family house. When I first came to Huainan, I couldn’t find a shabby house like this so I lived in it. Now I have spotted two places and I was planning to move out.”

Bai Lai came out of the miscellaneous courtyard and went straight to the public post office. At this time, she reported to Yingshu what had been discovered today, especially the confrontation between her and the Du family, everything, every word: "Huang Ji" The detailed notes about Du in the book are very similar to those of Du herself. She is of the same age, height, and appearance. The maid looks at her clothes as new and beautiful, but the furnishings in the house are not neatly arranged. The maid has just After telling her the purpose of her visit, she immediately started to argue, saying that the slave girl looked down upon others. Although she was not born into a noble family, her family was wealthy. She was nothing like working as a cow or a horse for others to drive around just to have a full meal and a few new clothes. She is a beautiful woman, with one hand on her thin waist and one hand pointing at the maid. She has nails, which are more than two inches long and dyed bright red.

She laughed at her maidservant, saying that she was like a dog and a horse, relying on being servile and being fed by the nobles with scraps of food. As long as they were really decent and humane, there would be no need to worry about marrying into a wealthy family. She proudly declared that she would marry into a wealthy family and be several levels higher than the servant girl. "

After hearing this, Yingshu explained: "Let Xuanying continue to keep an eye on her and see where she moves to live."

After dealing with this matter for the time being, Yingshu deliberately approached Nanci and made sure that the fragrance on his clothes would be stronger after he came back today. She thought of Nanci's description of Jia's daughter just now and laughed: "Why am I looking at Nanci?" This time you are in this situation, it seems more like you fell into a beauty trap?"

"I don't think Jia's daughter is beautiful." Nanci said seriously: "It's just that she can live in the mud. She said she knew her father's plan and wholeheartedly wanted to offer her as a plaything of the nobles. Isn't she? She was willing, but couldn't help herself. She begged me in turn and asked me what she should do to get out of the predicament. I just thought... Jia Huji is an unforgivable sin, but after all, she is the backbone of their family, the Jia family's daughter. She is the eldest daughter. There is only one younger brother under five years old under her. If she is sent back to Huainan in the future, she may not be able to escape the fate of becoming a plaything.

I just want to discuss it and you are also thinking about it. After all, the master has already accepted many "adopted grandchildren" and "adopted granddaughters". Is it advisable to accept more of the Jia family's daughters so that she can find a shelter at least. "

Yingshu sighed.

"What Jia Huji claimed was that his daughter was born with her own body fragrance, and widely publicized this as a 'difference'. Although I have not seen the woman, but through the fragrance on your clothes, I can guarantee that this is not a natural scent. It's a natural body fragrance, I can even tell which spices are added to create this fragrance, she didn't tell you this secret, right?"

Nanji:……

"I'm going to guess that the way you treated her today must have been courteous and thoughtful without any rudeness at all. This is completely different from other dandies, even Xu Jishi, who has long been fascinated by Jia's female beauty. She thought you were treating him... I was really moved, so I said those words to win more pity from you." Yingshu shook her head: "I don't mean to judge people with malice. What I say is well-founded. Jia Huji is just a person. Is there no doubt that the junior official, because he has a beautiful eldest daughter, intends to offer her to the nobles for profit, but it is impossible to target you?"

Nanci nodded: "If it weren't for tracking Du Chang, we wouldn't have come to Huainan. If we hadn't deliberately announced our identity, Governor Xu wouldn't have invited me to the banquet, intending to treat Jia's daughter as a 'curious item.' Recommendations.”

"Since Governor Xu regards Jia's daughter as a 'curious item', he must be sure of it. If he has never seen this girl before, where does this certainty come from?" Yingshu drank tea, and she did not shy away from it. Speaking of these erotic things, she is not a daughter of a boudoir who has never experienced erotic things. Whether it is a man who is extravagant and lustful, or a woman who is sexually harassing others, she has "seen" it: "If the Jia family's daughter is She was really helpless. For a woman with a noble nature, could Inspector Xu be the one who could save her from the fire? After all, in Huainan County, Inspector Xu could completely suppress Jia Huji.

Of course, there is also a possibility that Jia's daughter believed that Governor Xu was a lustful person who could not defend her and would only bully her, so she did not dare to ask Governor Xu for help. It wasn't until Nanci you appeared that Jia's daughter really hoped for a savior. However, the balm she used when she saw you for the first time was different from the one she uses today. "

"What's the difference?" Nanci couldn't tell the smell of balsam at all.

"The incense she used today was added with musk extracted from okra seeds. This scent will enhance the sense of temptation, but it is not blended into her usual balsam, so its effectiveness is greatly reduced." Yingshu said: "I said To be more straightforward, Nanci, you were not seduced by Jia's daughter's 'body fragrance' last night, which frustrated her greatly, but today you took the initiative to ask her out to play, which made her overjoyed, but you have been treating her The etiquette was thoughtful, but it also made her anxious, so when she accompanied you on the sightseeing tour, she added this okra musk dew. If you use this fragrant dew directly, the fragrance will last for up to two moments before dissipating. However, Nanci, the fragrance on your clothes is still there, so I can conclude that, firstly, the Jia woman used this fragrance excessively, and secondly, she must have used it within two seconds, or in other words , replenishing a large amount of fragrant dew within two moments.

Think about it again, when she confides her heart to you, have you already said goodbye? "

Nanci held her forehead: "Indeed, I had already revealed my intention to return. At that time, she said that she would change clothes first, and only after returning did she say that she couldn't help herself."

"At that time, it was impossible for Jia Huji to force her, right?"

"Jia Huji doesn't have any companions today."

"If she really loves herself, she can just talk about her difficulties. Why add this strange fragrance that she thinks can induce lust? This kind of fragrance is not easy for ordinary people to get. The Jia family's daughters should all have it before today. There is no spare, and I was in a hurry today... I should have asked Jia Huji to ask the fireworks woman directly, and then find a way to deliver it to her hands. She thought that with the help of this kind of fragrance, it could make you confused and infatuated. That was her whim."

Yingshu shook her head: "Nanci, you have never indulged in sensuality. How could you be so dizzy because of this fragrance? You are too soft-hearted, especially for the poor people. You have great compassion and sympathy for the poor. Do you believe her?" If so, it's not because of her appearance, nor because of her natural body fragrance, but because you have sympathy for the weak."

But Yingshu did not have such broad sympathy.
