"Young lady means—"
"For example, the swaddling clothes wrapped in Ben Gong, or some things worn by Ben Gong."
"..."
Hearing Nanyan's words, Gu Tingchun hesitated for a moment.
After a while, he said with a smile, "Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have a look at Xirong Hall."
"oh."
Nan Yan listened and nodded with a smile.
Of course she knows that Gu Tingchun has hated herself since she was a child, and of course it is impossible to keep the things she carried with her when she was a child. If she can make up her mind, she might not only throw out the things she brought, but she might also throw out herself. up.
However, at that time it was the old grandmother who made the decision.
The old grandmother even kept the letter left by Si Zhongwen for so long, maybe she will keep her own things; and when the old grandmother passed away, she was already a noble concubine, so of course Gu Tingchun didn't dare to mess with those things. So, there might still be some clues left.
So Nan Yan said: "Then let's go to Xirong Hall to have a look."
"yes."
Gu Tingchun responded, and then accompanied her to turn around and leave the ancestral hall.
After a while, we arrived at Xirong Hall.
This is Tong Yuhua's former residence, after she left, Gu Tingchun also cleaned up the place, tidy and tidy, and arranged everything according to the way she lived there before.
However, when the door was opened, there was still a cool smell.
After all, people have left.
Even if everything is the same as before, some things are different and will not come back.
An inexplicable soreness rose in Nan Yan's heart, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red. Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing beside him, immediately felt her emotion, supported her and said softly, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Nan Yan forced a smile and shook her head.
Gu Tingchun walked in, and said to Nan Yan: "Madam, all the old lady's things are here, what is Madam looking for, do you need a woman to do it?"
"Oh, no need."
Nan Yan smiled and said: "It's rare to come back, I also want to stay here alone for a while, and miss my old grandmother. Mother is already very tired today, so let's go and rest for a while."
"yes."
After speaking, Gu Tingchun took Simu Lan and the others away from Xirong Hall.
As soon as they left, Ran Xiaoyu went over and closed the door.
Then she turned around and said, "Your Majesty?"
Nan Yan said: "Open the cabinet first and take a look, be careful, don't mess things up."
"Don't worry, ma'am."
After saying that, Ran Xiaoyu walked over, first opened the wardrobe, and some wooden boxes in the corner, inside which were neatly stacked the clothes Mrs. Si had worn in the past. Herb sachets to keep moths away.
After searching for a while, I couldn't find any children's things.
At this moment, Nan Yan turned her head and saw a cabinet on the other side.
The cabinet was made of mahogany, with exquisite carvings, and the four corners were covered with copper skin, and it was also locked. It was obviously used to store more expensive things.
Ran Xiaoyu also saw it, walked over to have a look, but said annoyedly: "Your Majesty, there is no key."
Nan Yan thought for a while, walked to the other side of the bed, reached out to touch the pillow and bedding, but there was nothing, she picked up the pillow again, rummaged around, and found a key from inside.
Ran Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are really amazing."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Old people often do this."
As she said that, she walked over by herself, and carefully unlocked the cabinet. When she opened the cabinet, her expression suddenly became solemn.
In the cabinet, there was indeed a swaddle made of a piece of floral cloth.
However, she only took one look and realized something was wrong.
The color of the swaddling clothes was different from the ones they often saw. The shape was weird and quite exotic.
If according to the letter Si Zhongwen left behind, he brought it back from the country of Tan, then these things should also belong to the country of Tan.
But looking at it now, it's not at all.
On the contrary, it is a bit like something from the Western Regions.
However, more than 20 years ago, there was no trade between Yan Kingdom and the Western Regions, and the passage of the Silk Road was cut off by Tan Kingdom. It is not surprising that Si Zhongwen returned to Yan Kingdom by way of Tan Kingdom.
It just means that before he returned to Yan Kingdom, he was not in Tan Kingdom, but somewhere in the Western Regions.
Nanyan held the swaddle in her hand, full of thoughts.
Ran Xiaoyu stood beside her, looking at these things, and at the way her brows were furrowed, and didn't bother her, just carefully looking at other things in the cabinet.
When she was looking for it, she accidentally knocked the swaddle apart.
Suddenly, something fell from inside.
"Huh?"
Ran Xiaoyu was taken aback, then looked down: "This is—"
Nan Yan's thoughts were interrupted by her, and she also lowered her head, only to see a small sachet left in a corner of the cabinet, she hurriedly reached out to pick up the sachet.
Just looking at it, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Ran Xiaoyu on the side was also shocked, the two of them were silent for a long while, but she broke the silence and said: "Your Majesty, slave-servant is right."
"..."
"This sachet, this sachet and the one brought by the emperor—"
Nan Yan didn't speak, but stretched out her other hand into her bosom slightly trembling, took out the pouch that Ran Xiaoyu had prepared, and took out the sachet inside.
Put it in the palm of your hand and compare—
It turned out to be exactly the same.
Style, color, knot, exactly the same.
She put the sachet she had just found under her nose again, took a deep breath, and suddenly, her breath was suffocated.
Ran Xiaoyu was already in a hurry, at this time, regardless of the rules, she went directly to her and sniffed deeply in her hand.
His eyes widened in surprise: "Ma'am, the scents of these two sachets are exactly the same!"
"..."
certainly.
exactly the same!
No wonder, no wonder, when I smelled the sachet that Zhu Feng brought for the first time, I had a strange feeling in my heart, but I couldn't tell, and I couldn't even be sure if I was familiar with that smell.
Thinking about it now, that feeling should be a strange familiarity.
Because this sachet was in my infancy, that is to say, I was surrounded by this fragrance when I was unconscious.
After being brought back to Si's house by Si Zhongwen, she wasn't sure if she had smelled this smell again, but she should have, but maybe she was young at that time, after so many years Ten years, I don't remember clearly.
Otherwise, no one will really remember the smell they smelled in swaddling babies.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her complicated expression, couldn't help but said again: "Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Nanyan gasped.
She also wants to know!
