Chapter 1208 The fragrance is exactly the same!
"My Lady"
"For example, the swaddling clothes I was wrapped in, or some of the things I was wearing."
“…”
After hearing Nan Yan's words, Gu Tingchun hesitated for a moment.
After a while, he smiled and said, "Well, I'm afraid we have to go to Xirong Hall to check it out."
"oh."
Nan Yan listened and nodded with a smile.
Of course she knew that Gu Tingchun had hated her since childhood, and of course it was impossible for him to keep the things she had carried with her since childhood. If she had the final say, she would probably not only throw away the things she had brought with her, but she would also be thrown out by her.
However, at that time, it was the grandmother who made the decision.
The old grandmother kept the letter left by Si Zhongwen for so long, maybe she would keep her own things as well; and when the old grandmother passed away, she was already a noble concubine, so Gu Tingchun certainly didn't dare to touch those things, so there might be some clues left behind.
So Nan Yan said, "Then let's go to Xirong Hall and take a look."
"yes."
Gu Tingchun responded, then accompanied her and left the ancestral hall.
After a while, we arrived at Xirong Hall.
This was Tong Yuhua's residence before her death. After she passed away, Gu Tingchun cleaned the place up and kept it tidy, arranging everything according to the way it was when she lived there.
However, when I opened the door, I still smelled a cool scent.
After all, the person is gone.
Even if everything is the same as before, some things are different and will never come back.
Nan Yan felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart, and her eyes turned slightly red. Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing beside her, immediately sensed her emotions and supported her, whispering, "My Lady, are you okay?"
"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. Is there anything you need from me?"
"Oh, no thanks."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's a rare trip back home. I want to stay here alone for a while because I miss my grandmother. Mother is very tired today, so go and rest for a while."
"yes."
After saying that, Gu Tingchun took Si Mulan and the others and left Xirong Hall.
As soon as they left, Ran Xiaoyu went over and closed the door.
Then he turned around and said, "My Lady?"
Nan Yan said, "Open the cabinet first and take a look. Be careful not to mess things up."
"Don't worry, Madam."
As she spoke, Ran Xiaoyu walked over and first opened the wardrobe and some wooden boxes in the corner, which were neatly stacked with clothes that Old Madam Si had worn in the past. Gu Tingchun was also very careful and even put a bag of angelica root in it to prevent insects from eating it.
After searching for a while, I didn't find anything related to the children.
At this time, Nan Yan turned around and saw a cabinet on the other side.
The cabinet was made of mahogany, with exquisite carvings, copper-covered corners, and a lock. It was obviously used to store valuable items.
Ran Xiaoyu also saw it, walked over to take a look, but said in annoyance: "Madam, there is no key."
Nan Yan thought about it, walked to the other side of the bed, reached out and touched the pillow and bedding, but there was nothing. She picked up the pillow again, rummaged through it, and sure enough, found a key inside.
Ran Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You are truly amazing, my lady."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Old people are often like this."
As she spoke, she walked over, carefully opened the lock on the cabinet, opened the cabinet and took a look. Her expression suddenly became solemn.
Sure enough, there was a swaddling cloth made of floral cloth in the cabinet.
However, she only took one look and realized something was wrong.
The pattern on the swaddling clothes was different from the ones they usually saw, and the shape was strange and quite exotic.
If according to the letter left by Si Zhongwen, I was brought back from the Kingdom of Dian, then these things should also be from the Kingdom of Dian.
But now it seems that it is not the case at all.
Instead, it looks a bit like something from the Western Regions.
However, more than 20 years ago, there was no trade between Yan State and the Western Regions, and the Silk Road was cut off by Neng State. It was not surprising that Si Zhongwen returned to Yan State via Neng State.
But this just means that before he returned to Yan State, he was not in Neng State, but somewhere in the Western Regions.
Nan Yan held the swaddling clothes in her hands, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
Ran Xiaoyu stood beside her, looking at these things, and seeing her frown, she did not disturb her, but only carefully looked through the other things in the cabinet.
While she was searching, she accidentally knocked the swaddling clothes apart.
Suddenly, something fell from inside.
"Huh?"
Ran Xiaoyu was stunned and looked down: "This is——"
Nan Yan's thoughts were interrupted by her and she lowered her head, but saw a small sachet fallen in a corner of the cabinet. She hurriedly reached out and picked up the sachet.
One look and she was so shocked she was speechless.
Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing by, was also shocked. The two of them were silent for a long time before she broke the silence and said, "Your Majesty, I—Isn't this what I saw wrong?"
“…”
"This sachet, this sachet and the one the emperor brought—"
Nan Yan didn't say anything. She reached into her arms with her other hand, trembling slightly, took out the purse prepared by Ran Xiaoyu, and took out the sachet inside.
Put it in the palm of your hand and compare it——
Surprisingly, exactly the same.
The style, color, and knot are exactly the same.
She brought the sachet she had just found under her nose, took a deep breath, and suddenly, she felt suffocated.
Ran Xiaoyu was so anxious that she ignored the rules and went straight over to take a deep sniff of the scent in her hand.
His eyes widened in surprise: "My Lady, the scent of these two sachets is exactly the same!"
“…”
certainly.
Exactly the same!
No wonder, no wonder when I first smelled the scent of the sachet that Zhu Feng brought, I had a strange feeling in my heart, but I couldn’t explain it, and I wasn’t even sure if I was familiar with that smell.
Thinking about it now, that feeling should be a kind of - strange familiarity.
Because this sachet was in my cradle, which means that I was surrounded by this fragrance when I was unconscious.
After being brought back to the Si family by Si Zhongwen, she was not sure if she had smelled this scent again, but she should have had it. It was just that maybe she was too young at that time, and after more than ten or twenty years, she could not remember it clearly.
Otherwise, no one would really be obsessed with the smell they smelled in the cradle.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her complicated expression and couldn't help but said, "My lady, what on earth is going on?"
Nan Yan gasped.
She wants to know too!
