Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

"After all, she is a heroine and she is also a woman. It is normal to have two replacement hairpins."

"But rouge and gouache..."

Wang Xiaohua frowned and said, "I think the rouge and gouache may be a bit too much."

"Jewelry is a must. Without hairpins, we can't fix our hair."

…………

"But rouge and gouache, to be honest... I almost don't use it."

"After all, this rouge powder has a smell, and what I do is dangerous, and sometimes it needs to be done secretly. If I am discovered because of this rouge gouache, then am I not asking for death?"

"So, I won't use rouge and gouache."

"And if you use rouge gouache for a long time, even if you don't use it for a while, there will still be some faint smell left on your body."

"Naturally, don't use this thing if you can. Otherwise, the smell won't be removed for a while, and it will be completely troublesome."

"For various reasons, I really don't think... these rouge and gouache should appear in Empress Beidou's bedroom."

After Wang Xiaohua finished speaking, his eyes suddenly flashed and he said: "So what you are saying is that... there is something wrong with this rouge and gouache?"

But whether it is obvious logic or implicit logic, it must conform to the entire logical chain.

Fortunately, there was a female thief beside him who was very knowledgeable about many things.

Qin Wenyuan listened quietly to Wang Xiaohua's story.

Does this mean that... Empress Beidou deliberately left this behind?

"And Lady Beidou is a stronger chivalrous woman than me."

Wang Xiaohua lightly touched a little with her fingertips, and then sniffed it gently.

But it appears again.

Putting this rouge and powder here really feels out of place.

Therefore, on these similarities, Qin Wenyuan believes that the two of them will have many similarities in some things.

Wang Xiaohua thought for a while, then nodded cautiously.

She said: "If it were me, these rouge and gouache would bring me trouble, and people like me don't need to use my beauty to attract men."

In his opinion, everything in this world exists logically.

Both of them want to be heroines!

Wang Xiaohua heard Qin Wenyuan's words and looked at Qin Wenyuan's encouraging eyes to believe in her, and she felt more and more confident.

Both are facing the same danger.

After Wang Xiaohua finished speaking, she looked at the young master nervously and said, "Master, what I said are all my speculations. You can refer to them, but don't believe them completely. I'm afraid it will affect the young master's judgment."

"Moreover, Empress Beidou is now supported and loved by the people, and her own status is so high, so naturally there is no one worthy of her putting on makeup to please."

Both of them did what they thought was right in their own way.

"Because these things are not only useless to me, but will affect my image and my safety."

So...if these rouge and gouache shouldn't be here.

He agreed with Wang Xiaohua's inference to a large extent.

Qin Wenyuan looked at these rouge gouache and said, "Xiaohua, are these rouge gouache very common or uncommon?"

"What you said is very good and your analysis is very reasonable. It has inspired me a lot."

"What she did was a more dangerous act of chivalry than me."

Some logic is more obscure.

She said: "I think about it from my standpoint. I'm not sure whether Beidou Empress is the same."

The identity of Beidou Empress is destined to be followed in her actions.

"Therefore, I don't think Lady Beidou doesn't know the dangers of rouge and gouache."

"As for Beidou Empress... what she wants to do is much more dangerous than mine, so I really don't think Beidou Empress can use rouge and gouache."

Although Qin Wenyuan is smart enough, women's things like rouge and gouache touch his knowledge blind spot...

"So, in this case, I would just stay away from rouge and gouache."

Qin Wenyuan looked at the rouge and gouache in the drawer, and his eyes narrowed at this moment.

It's just that some of the logic is very obvious.

When Wang Xiaohua heard this, her eyes became even brighter.

Qin Wenyuan said: "It doesn't matter, just tell us your own situation, and I will make a separate judgment based on your situation and that of Beidou Empress."

Qin Wenyuan pays more attention to logic when deciding the case.

Wang Xiaohua is very similar to Beidou Empress in many things.

Qin Wenyuan smiled softly.

Both of them hated evil as much as they hated each other.

After thinking for a moment, she said: "This is something from Yuchundang."

"Yuchuntang?"

Qin Wenyuan said: "What?"

Wang Xiaohua's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "You can see that the young master has never given rouge to women."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't know about Yuchuntang."

"This Yuchuntang is the most famous rouge shop in the Tang Dynasty. There are hundreds of shops in the entire Tang Dynasty."

"Their rouge gouache is of excellent quality, but it's also very expensive, so ordinary people can't afford it."

"I used to rob some from the rich and give to the poor, but I thought it was useless, let alone ordinary people, so I threw them away."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed.

Rouge gouache from the most famous rouge shop in the Tang Dynasty.

You must be rich or expensive to use it!
But Beidou Empress has a set that is almost never used.

Does this mean anything?
Did someone give it to Empress Beidou?
Or did Empress Beidou stay here on purpose to have a hidden meaning?

"Yuchuntang..."

Qin Wenyuan thought for a while and said: "It seems that after returning to Datang, I really have a lot of things to investigate."

No matter the rouge from Yuchuntang.

Or the truth about my father’s trip to Nanzhao.

Many things need to be investigated.

And Qin Wenyuan had a hunch that maybe when he found out everything clearly, he might be able to see Empress Beidou.

Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath and suppressed these thoughts for the time being.

He said to Wang Xiaohua: "Besides, do you think there is anything wrong with this rouge gouache?"

Wang Xiaohua thought for a while and asked, "What is the problem the young master mentioned?"

Qin Wenyuan said: "There are various possible problems, such as color depth, quality, authenticity, in short... it is even slightly different from the real Yuchuntang rouge gouache you have seen. ”

Wang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you think too highly of me."

"As someone who has never used rouge and gouache, I can recognize that this is Yuchundang's rouge and gouache. It's extraordinary. If you ask me to identify these, I really can't."

"If you give me some gold bars, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and ask me to distinguish between true and false, I can still do it."

"But rouge and gouache are really beyond my capabilities."

"Not to mention that these rouge gouache are more than ten years old and have obviously deteriorated. They are caked in many places and are completely unusable. It is even more difficult to identify whether there is a problem."

Qin Wenyuan listened to Wang Xiaohua's words. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "I didn't think carefully. You are right. This rouge gouache is not something else. It has already expired after more than ten years."

"Shelf life? What is this?" Wang Xiaohua asked doubtfully.

Qin Wenyuan shook his head: "That's how long this rouge gouache can be used."

"That's it. It's enough to know where this rouge and gouache comes from."

Wang Xiaohua suddenly thought of something. She quickly lowered her head and took a closer look at the box of rouge and gouache.

Then, with bright eyes, she said, "Master, I found something."

"What?" Qin Wenyuan asked hurriedly.

Wang Xiaohua said: "Master, please look here."

Qin Wenyuan looked around hurriedly.

Then I saw a line of small words on this box.

"Twenty-nine plum blossoms."

Qin Wenyuan asked: "What is this?"

Wang Xiaohua said: "In order to ensure the quality of its rouge gouache, Yuchundang puts a number on each box."

"Yuchuntang promises that once they find quality problems with their rouge gouache, they can go to them with the serial number. Based on the serial number, they can trace the product back to the store from which it was purchased, and even know who is responsible for the production. "

"So, these twenty-nine plum blossoms are the number."

"According to Yuchuntang, if the young master goes to them with the serial number, they may be able to find out where the young master purchased the rouge and gouache from."

"but……"

Wang Xiaohua added: "This happened more than ten years ago. The time span is quite long. I am not sure whether Yuchuntang can find it."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed.

He laughed directly and said: "Xiaohua, no matter whether Yuchuntang can find out or not, you will make a great contribution to me."

"I will definitely be rewarded heavily."

Qin Wenyuan was really happy.

Qin Wenyuan didn't understand these things at all.

So Wang Xiaohua almost opened up a path for him.

No matter what the result is, at least Qin Wenyuan will have the opportunity to find out.

Maybe, this is the clue left by Empress Beidou?

Perhaps, Beidou Empress deliberately left these rouge gouache because she knew the traceability of Yuchundang's rouge gouache.

The purpose is to allow later people to find the clues she left based on this rouge and gouache?

Qin Wenyuan felt that this probability was extremely high.

Otherwise, even with his wisdom, it would be difficult to find any valuable clues from the rouge and gouache that should not exist here.

Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath and memorized the number of Plum Blossom Twenty Nine.

After returning to the Tang Dynasty, he must go to Yuchuntang in person.

At this time, Qin Wenyuan's ears twitched.

He heard footsteps approaching.

Qin Wenyuan winked directly at Wang Xiaohua.

Wang Xiaohua quickly closed the drawer.

The two looked around casually.

At this time, the door was opened.

The old woman, who had finished praying for her grandson, opened the door and walked in.

"You are all in here."

The old woman smiled and said: "I didn't see you after praying, so I thought you had left."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "This is my first time here, so I wanted to see more, but we are also preparing to leave. We will go to the sixth floor to have a look later."

"Sixth floor?"

The old woman shook her head and said, "You can't go up."

"Can't go up?"

When Qin Wenyuan heard this, his eyes flashed suddenly.

He looked directly at the old woman and asked, "Why do you say that? Is it because you are not allowed to go up to the sixth floor?"

The old woman shook her head: "The entire Beidou Tower, except for the ninth floor, is allowed for believers to go up."

"But you also know that Beidou Tower is about fate. If you don't have fate, you can't go up."

Qin Wenyuan asked: "You mean... we can't go to the sixth floor because we have no fate?"

The old woman said: "Actually, I also want to go to the sixth floor. After all, the higher you go, the closer you are to Lady Beidou, and the easier it is for Lady Beidou to hear your prayers."

"So I just asked the Taoist priest outside if he could go up to the sixth floor. The Taoist priest told me that the Taoist priest in charge of the sixth floor was out for something today and was not in Beidou Temple, so we couldn't go in. ”

"This is not..."

The old woman spread her hands and said, "It seems that today's fate can only end here."

When Wang Xiaohua heard this, she couldn't help but said: "Is there no other way?"

She knew that the young master wanted to go to a higher level to look for clues.

But now that we can't go up to the sixth floor, we can only stop here.

The old woman sighed: "I want to go up there too, but Beidou Tower is all about fate. If fate fails, there is nothing anyone can do about it."

Wang Xiaohua wanted to say something more, but Qin Wenyuan shook his head.

Qin Wenyuan said: "In this case, it seems that we can only go here today."

“But for us, we’re lucky to be here.”

"After all, this is our first time to come to Beidou Temple. We learned a lot about Beidou Empress in Beidou Tower, and we are very satisfied to see with our own eyes the house where Beidou Empress once lived."

Wang Xiaohua blinked her eyes, and when she saw the young master saying this, she rolled her eyes and agreed: "Yes, yes, we are very lucky to be here, and we are very satisfied."

The old woman smiled and said: "You have a good mentality and are contented. Unlike me, I am a little disappointed because I can't go up. It seems that I am too greedy."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "You are also thinking about your grandson. This is your love for your grandson. It cannot be called greedy."

When the old woman heard this, she immediately smiled and nodded again.

She said: "I like what you said, but you can't go to my house if you have something to do. Otherwise, I really want you to go to my house and sit there."

Qin Wenyuan thought for a while and said, "I wonder where the old man lives?"

The old woman didn't even think about it and said, "It's in the north of the city, next to an intersection. My house has a small yard. It's easy to find."

Qin Wenyuan looked at the old woman, carefully thought about the details of the old woman's answer to his question, and made sure that the old woman did not hesitate or hesitate. He smiled slightly and said, "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely bother you."

The old woman smiled and said, "That would be great."

Several people left the room while talking.

While the old woman was talking to the Taoist, Qin Wenyuan lowered his voice and said: "When we go back, look for the place the old woman said to see if it is what the old woman said."

A strange color flashed through Wang Xiaohua's beautiful eyes, and she quickly asked: "Sir, do you doubt her?"

Qin Wenyuan said: "I didn't notice anything unusual, but it was such a coincidence that she and I met three times in a row today, and I always felt a little strange."
