Chapter 208 Carrion
She got up and went outside.

Kang Kunlun and Ah Wu sat together outside, and when they saw her come out, they both got up quickly.

Kang Kunlun frowned: "Why did you sleep and still look so bad?"

Ye Qingluan shook her head: "Didn't sleep well."

Kang Kunlun was really taken aback: "Didn't sleep well? ... What's wrong?"

Ye Qingluan heard a sigh in his heart.

She deliberately said: "I was handling a case in Dali Temple before. A person died and the murderer was caught, but the body was gone. As a result, every night I dreamed, the little lady came to me and asked me to help her."

She spread her hands: "Just now she came again."

She looked at Ah Wu pitifully: "...I was wondering, this house is built in the architectural style of your barbarians, the little lady should not dare to come in; even if she does, she would have to get lost. But How could she be so tenacious and still follow in?"

Ah Wu didn't speak, she just raised her eyes to look at Kang Kunlun.

Kang Kunlun frowned: "It shouldn't be."

Ye Qingluan sighed, "Hey, don't worry about her, I don't owe her anything anyway."

She said and went to the door: "I'll go back first."

Kang Kunlun caught up in three steps and two steps: "Where are you going? Didn't you promise me that you can stay here?"

Ye Qingluan blinked her eyes: "But my things are still in Cui's house. If I come to you now, then I don't even have a change of clothes. I can't go to Cui's house to get my luggage?"

Hearing what she said, Kang Kunlun finally showed a long-lost smile: "So...you didn't tell me earlier, if you told me earlier, then I'll ask someone to fetch it for you."

Ye Qingluan shook her head: "I need to go back, not just to pick up my luggage. Don't forget that I am still an official in Dali Temple, and Cui Shaoqing and I have business matters to tell."

Kang Kunlun hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Alright."

"This errand in Dali Temple...you are actually happy when you do it."

Ye Qingluan then laughed: "Of course I am happy. This is an official of the court! Although I am only a ninth rank, I am also considered a high rank person, not much better than walking in the market and being a bride! "

Kang Kunlun smiled helplessly: "Yes."

Ye Qingluan raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Then I'll be leaving."

Kang Kunlun followed immediately: "I'll accompany you."

Ye Qingluan sighed: "Don't bother. They are the Qinghe Cui family, and the most important thing is etiquette. If you go, they won't be able to treat you seriously? Now the old patriarch is not at home. The old lady has to come forward. The old lady is old, and I can't bear the old lady to make such a fuss."

What Kang Kunlun wanted to say was stopped by Ye Qingluan.

Ye Qingluan smiled and said: "If you really don't mind me going back alone, then I will borrow Xiaotan from Madam Awu? Let Xiaotan accompany me to go back."

Kang Kunlun turned his head immediately.

Ye Qingluan was still polite to Ah Wu: "Mr. Ah Wu, I will borrow your maid for a while. Will Teacher Ah Wu give up?"

Ah Wu also looked back at Kang Kunlun.

Kang Kunlun frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Tan, why are you still hesitating?"
.
Kang Kunlun sent a carriage to send Ye Qingluan.

When Ye Qingluan returned to Cui's mansion, he saw Qian Yue at the door.

Qian Yue saw Ye Qingluan and followed immediately.

Ye Qingluan sighed; he reached out to stop him.

She knew that she had experienced so much last night, and that she had disappeared suddenly, and the whole Cui family probably wanted to ask her a lot.

But now is not the time to answer questions, not to mention that she is still at a loss in some situations.

When she returned to Qian's yard, both father and son Cui Zhong and Cui Na followed.

When Cui Min arrived, Ye Qingluan knew that Cui Qian was not far away.

It's just that the people in Cui's house were too discerning, and when they saw that there was someone beside her, and she was an orchid, they didn't ask anything directly, but just followed her silently, carefully sizing her up from the side. look.

While turning around, she gave Cui Na a thumbs up, indicating that their attitude was wrong.

When she was ready to pack her things, she nodded and called Cui Wei: "...I left something in the outer study. It's in the drawer on the third shelf of the bookshelf. Please bring it for me."

Cui Na was taken aback for a moment, but then he seemed to think of something, just nodded and followed her orders.

Not long after, Cui Min brought what Ye Qingluan asked for—it was the small bag of white sandalwood that she gave Cui Qian at the beginning.

It's just that Cui Qian was not willing to use it all the time, and he simply put it on the bookshelf in the outer study as a treasure at the bottom of the box after he came back.

After coming out of Cui's mansion, Ye Qingluan didn't avoid Xiaotan, and said with a smile: "This is the white sandalwood incense that you Mr. Zhengzheng bought for me back then. It smells good, you can smell it."

Xiao Tan was unprepared, and when the pouch came, he sent it to his nose.

Ye Qingluan quietly observed Xiaotan's reaction.

Sure enough, Xiao Tan's expression was so strange that she even couldn't help smiling.

Ye Qingluan said: "Oh, what a coincidence, Xiao Tan, you are called 'Xiao Tan', and this 'Tan' is the 'Tan' of White Sandalwood!"

"If you asked me to guess, I would guess that Xiaotan, your family is in the spice business, or that you originally planted spices in the Western Regions. Anyway, you must have a close relationship with spices, especially sandalwood, so you would choose this a name."

"So this sandalwood, Xiaotan, you must be the one who knows the best. Perhaps, you will be more knowledgeable than your Mr. Zhengzheng."

Ye Qingluan deliberately lowered her voice as she spoke: "...Frankly speaking, when I bought this spice last time, I thought that Hu merchant seemed a little vain. But you, Mr. Zhengzheng, insisted on rushing to pay me , he didn’t carefully identify the grade of this white sandalwood, I’m worried that he spent a lot of money but didn’t get a good spice worth the price.”

Xiao Tan finally smiled: "Young lady is really sharp. Is this sandalwood... Well, how should I put it, it is considered sandalwood, but if Hu Shang said it was white sandalwood, it would be a bit pretentious."

Ye Qingluan clapped her hands together: "Look, I feel something is wrong."

She approached Xiao Tan: "Xiao Tan, tell me, why is this different?"

Xiao Tan sniffed it carefully again: "This is sandalwood, but not white sandalwood, it should be more similar to green sandalwood."

Ye Qingluan's head exploded slightly: Sure enough, the spice is different!
She didn't show it on her face, she just asked: "Aren't they all called sandalwood, what's the difference between white sandalwood and green sandalwood?"

Xiao Tan cautiously said: "...the green sandalwood smells like rotten flesh."

"Also, green sandalwood is poisonous."

Ye Qingluan was startled, but she still smiled all over her face: "It's normal if it's poisonous, people say 'the medicine is three-point poison'."

"It's the smell of carrion, so what's the point?"

Xiao Tan sighed slightly, "My lady, think about it, what in this world loves the smell of carrion?"
