Chapter 170 Nancheng
Tong Jie smiled but said nothing. He just asked them to bring it into the house and put it on the table. Then he said with a smile, "Miss Nanyan, please take a look. If you like it, it will be worth my effort."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left.
Nan Yan felt something was wrong and hurried in.
He opened one brocade box, looked inside, and then opened another.
After opening several of them in a row, she was stunned.
The hairpin from the Colorful Butterfly Pavilion, two rolls of silk from the silk shop, a pair of jade bracelets, and a box of rouge...
These things were nothing special at first, but what really surprised her was that these were things she had just glanced at while shopping today.
Tong Jie actually wrote them all down and immediately had someone buy them for her.
She couldn't help but frown, sitting in the middle of this pile of things, unable to recover for a long time.
Tong Jie, what does this mean?

For the next few days, Nan Yan was unable to see the emperor.
In fact, not many people in Prince Jing's Mansion could see him.
Because, early in the morning every day, Zhu Feng would go out for fun with Prince Jing Zhu Yan, and would not return until the evening. But returning was not enough, as he would hold a grand banquet in Prince Jing's mansion and have fun every night.
And these days, Tong Jie comes to see her almost every day.
It was indeed to see her, just to sit and chat for a while, or to accompany her for a walk. There was nothing presumptuous about it. However, when Nan Yan wanted to return the things from that day to him, he refused to accept them. He just smiled and repeated the same sentence -
A wonderful person like Miss Nan Yan deserves all the good things in the world to be presented to you.
Nan Yan felt as if she was stepping on a ball of cotton, which was so soft that it was difficult for her to get out. However, she didn't know what was under the ball of cotton.
She could only seal up all those things and pile them up in the house, waiting for an opportunity to tell the emperor. After all, besides being his slave, she was also a female official in the imperial court. Such a thing was not very common.
On this day, Nan Yan got up very early.
However, she still failed to stop Zhu Feng. She heard that he went out with Prince Jing before dawn, supposedly to go hunting. She was dejected and left Prince Jing's mansion alone, strolling quietly on the street.
As we walked, we got farther and farther away.
She remembered that she had only wandered around the northern part of the city yesterday and had never been to the southern part of the city, so she slowly walked south along a street.
The streets that were once bustling and bustling gradually became deserted.
Those rich and well-dressed people are almost nowhere to be seen in this place. All that can be seen are two words - devastation.
The houses here are very low and dilapidated, and some have even been destroyed. Homeless people sit under the broken walls, their faces covered with soot and their eyes dull.
This is what it looks like after the war.
But they had never seen it before.
Nan Yan frowned, looking at the devastation around him and the city wall in the distance. It was different from what they had seen before. The city wall here was also broken, with some charred marks left, obviously damaged during the attack.
Nan Yan frowned, feeling a pang of sadness as she watched all this. At this moment, she saw a familiar figure flash by at the end of the long, dark street ahead. It seemed to be—
She hurriedly raised her feet to catch up: "Jane——"
Before she could open her mouth, the figure had already flashed by and could no longer be seen. Nan Yan was a little stunned and looked around hurriedly.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind and patted her shoulder.
