Chapter IX Four Kinds of Medicines(1/2)

On the carriage, Lin Feiwan pinched someone to wake him up.

Dongqing opened her slightly red and swollen eyes and looked at her carefully from top to bottom. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, her eyes suddenly changed.

"Miss, your clothes..."

A daughter who has not yet left the palace goes to a man's house and comes out wearing new clothes. There are too many plots that can be imagined.

It was just that the royal prince was not flirtatious with women and Lin Feiwan looked calm, which made her particularly confused.

Lin Feiwan's eyes flashed with approval and she took out a bill from her sleeve. It was only when she changed her clothes that she realized that the secret guard was so attentive.

"If someone asks me about it in the future, do you know how to respond?"

Dongqing took the bill and bowed her head respectfully: "Miss, I bought the clothes at Linglong Pavilion when I was shopping."

"Um."

Lin Feiwan opened the curtain, and not far away was the busiest West Market. Next, she planned to check on the woman Cao Jian mentioned. The only clue was the osmanthus-flavored powder.

Fragrance powder is divided into main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients. Due to different auxiliary ingredients, the same main fragrance will produce different kinds of flavors.

The scent of osmanthus she smelled on Cao Jian's body had a hint of aster in the main note. This flower usually grows around cemeteries, but it is a good medicine for coughs.

"Hollywood, you often went out to buy things. Do you know how many fragrant powder shops there are in the capital?"

Dongqing thought for a while and said eloquently: "The largest fragrant powder shops are all in the West Market, which are the favorite places for official ladies to shop. There are also many in the East Market, but most of the people who buy them are common people.

To be fair to you, miss, this slave uses fragrant powder from Liu’s family in the East Market. Although the price is cheaper, the taste and variety are no worse than the big stores in the West Market.”

"Have you ever smelled osmanthus-flavored powder?"

"Miss, why did you ask about that smell?"

Dongqing's face turned red, "You rarely go out and you don't use spices, so of course you don't know that the scent of osmanthus has become exclusive to Goulan, and only girls from good families don't use it."

"Why is this?"

"Two years ago, there was an oiran in the capital who loved osmanthus. Her clothes and makeup were all related to osmanthus. Later, women in Goulan followed suit..."

"What about the current Oiran?"

"It was suddenly ransomed a year ago. It is said that it was hidden by a certain big shot. In addition, the original bustard suddenly died suddenly. The whereabouts of the oiran have become even more mysterious."

"What's her name?"

"It seems to be called Dangui."

"Dangui."

Lin Feiwan recited silently several times and opened the car curtain, "Uncle Li, make a U-turn and go to Dongshi."

"Okay, let's drive!"

"Miss, aren't you going to the West Market?"

"Since osmanthus scented powder is only used by those women, it will definitely not be available in the West Market."

Dongqing burst into tears, "You're not going to buy it, are you?"

"Don't worry, I'm just going for a walk."

"It's fine if you don't buy it, it's fine if you don't buy it."

Holly patted her chest in fear. If the madam knew that she took the young lady to buy osmanthus powder, she would be betrayed.

Compared to the luxurious and prosperous West Market, the East Market seems much simpler.

"Miss, it's the one in front. Please put on your curtain first."

"Um."

Lin Feiwan nodded, she had this intention, but she didn't expect Dongqing to speak first, becoming more and more satisfied with this girl.

"You two, please come in quickly. We have all the cosmetics and powders in our store. You are guaranteed to be satisfied."

As soon as they got out of the car, a smart boy came over and invited them into the house.

Although the decoration is simple on the outside, it is unique on the inside. All kinds of cosmetics are made into small samples and placed on the display cabinet. The shopkeeper does not need to introduce them one by one, and customers can choose by themselves.

"Huh? There's no osmanthus powder here."

Lin Feiwan asked in a low voice. Just as Dongqing was wondering, several people dressed as maids suddenly cast disdainful glances.

“It’s really unlucky to shop with this kind of person!”

"The thought of using the same powder as them makes me sick."

"Shopkeeper, we don't want to buy it."

Several maids wiped their hands in disgust and whispered a few words to the waiter who came over. The waiter had a bad look on his face and walked up to Lin Feiwan and the others with a sullen expression.

"Boy, this is not the place you should come to. If you want to buy osmanthus fragrant powder, please enter through the side door."

"Side door?"

Lin Feiwan raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced in the direction of his finger. Sure enough, she saw several women with heavy makeup entering through the small door.

"See, that's where you should go."

The maid just now looked disdainful, and Dongqing was so angry that she wanted to retaliate.

Knowing that those people had misunderstood, Lin Feiwan didn't want to cause trouble and caught her in time.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

"Miss……"

Holly was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but thinking that the young lady was not a weakling, she must have had other plans, so she glared at those people hatefully.

Entering the side door, the layout inside is similar to that of the hall, and the person in charge is an elderly woman.

The women were happily choosing, occasionally joking with her, and they were obviously regular customers.

Lin Feiwan also imitated their example, trying out scents one by one among the fragrant powders whose main ingredient was osmanthus, but after trying more than a dozen styles, he still couldn't find any.

"Shopkeeper, is this all the osmanthus-flavored powder?"

Aunt Liu looked at the two of them from beginning to end, her kind face showing a bit of shrewdness.

"Looking at the young lady's eyes, she must have just entered the industry not long ago. Our store's osmanthus-flavored powder is the most authentic and has the most variety. The oiran Osmanthus Osmanthus was a frequent customer of our store back then."

When she spoke, she waved her handkerchief out of habit. Lin Feiwan caught the faint smell, and the corners of her lips under her hat were slightly raised.

"I wonder which one is commonly used in Dangui?"

This question made Aunt Liu's expression change, and she soon returned to her previous shrewdness.

"I haven't made that flavor for a long time. Miss, I'll pick it up again. Other styles in our house are also very popular."

"Pity."

Lin Feiwan lowered his head and wiped the remaining powder on his hands with a handkerchief, then turned around and left the store with Dongqing.

"Miss, there are a few shops nearby, do you want to check them out?"

"No need, go to Huo's house and buy two rock candy elbows and take them back home."

She had been out for a long time, so she couldn't go back empty-handed. I remembered that the original owner's mother liked to eat rock sugar elbows, but she stopped eating them after her health continued to deteriorate and the doctor asked her to avoid greasy food.

Now that she is here, her mother's body will definitely recover, but her own body...

Lin Feiwan sighed secretly. The poison of "Zi Mu Yin" in his body needs to be collected from four kinds of medicine: Ice Fire Vine, Bodhi Meat, Glazed Fruit and Holy Blood Lotus, plus the help of white lotus, ginseng and other precious medicines.

.

But the four kinds of medicine are hard to find. Before she was killed, she often looked for precious medicinal materials everywhere. She almost bought ice fire vine and Bodhi meat, but unfortunately those two things were finally bought by a mysterious man from the Northern Snow Country.

Now that several months have passed, I wonder if that person still keeps the medicinal materials, and even if he does, it is unknown whether he will be willing to give up his love.

At present, she only knows that the royal family of Nanfeng Kingdom has the Holy Blood Lotus, but she only has about half a year to live, which is really a trick of fate.

"Miss, we're here."

Arriving home as his thoughts were racing, Lin Feiwan whispered a few words to Li Fang before entering.

Because Zhou Mei was ill, Lin Ran and Lin Yang did not come over for dinner.

Looking at the rock sugar elbows on the table, Yu Qingyun's eyes immediately turned red when she thought that Lin Mi was still there the last time she ate this dish.

"Mother, my father is alive in heaven and he definitely hopes that we will be well."

"Well, Wan'er is right. Don't worry, I'm strong."

Yu Qingyun wiped away her tears and ate so deliciously that the corners of her mouth were stained with sugar without realizing it.

Lin Feiwan took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped it off for her. Yu Qingyun paused for a moment and resumed her smile, but she tasted a bit of bitterness from that smile.

But my mother didn't say anything, nor did she ask.

When the two of them finished their meal and took a walk, Zhang's mother brought over a bowl of medicine and a cup of tonic soup.

Lin Feiwan glanced at Xia Zhu and Qiu Shuang, saw them nodding, then picked up the soup cup and handed it to her mother, then picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all.

Seeing how cooperative she was, Zhang's mother almost stomped her feet in excitement.
