Jade spy border

Chapter 4 Mystery

The sky was so blue that after looking at it for a long time, my eyes felt a little sour. After closing my eyes and looking back, Zou Jingzhi found that there were many puzzling things in Mi Yuyan's memory.

The Mi family has always lived in a small place like Jin'er County. Jin'er County is rich in flowers and spices. I don't know when the people here have been engaged in businesses related to flowers and spices.

The geographical location of Linnan Prefecture is very special. It can be said that it is the first state city after entering the Dayun Kingdom from the southwest. It also strangles the chokepoint from the southwest to the west. Going north over the Qinlu Mountains is the hinterland of the Central Plains. To the east is the hinterland of the Central Plains. Cities in Shu.

About a few decades ago, I don’t know which capable officials the imperial court sent to govern Linnan Prefecture. Since then, Linnan Prefecture’s special geographical location has gradually transformed from a military fortress to a product distribution center. Jin’er has also changed from there. Since then, it has been called the Capital of Flowers.

This area of ​​Jin'er County used to worship the God of Flowers in March. From then on, it became the Hundred Flowers Festival.

With the prosperity of the trade routes and the conscious guidance and publicity of capable officials, for example, the price of spices and flowers ordered on this day can be more than [-]% cheaper than on normal days; after the Hundred Flowers Festival, this year Unable to order news about Jin'er spices, dried flowers, fragrant dew, etc., this festival was spread throughout Dayun by businessmen from all walks of life, and even to many surrounding countries.

Jin'er's original wild picking can no longer meet the demand for large orders, and farmers have begun to grow flowers and spices.But no matter how good the business is, it still depends on the weather. The business of supplying these raw materials is basically to make a living. There are still some families around Jin'er County who have been making incense for unknown generations, such as rice. clan.

In Mi Yuyan's memory, an important condition for the Mi family to stand proudly is that the Mi family has fragrant roots.The so-called incense root refers to people who are particularly good at making incense or extremely talented. They can creatively create incense that has never existed before.

Incense roots have existed in this land since ancient times, but they have been intermittent due to various reasons. It is unknown in which house they appear and when they will continue.

It was Mi Yuyan's grandfather, Mi Fuping, who renewed the incense root for Mi family.

Some things are completely different in the eyes of the original owner, a ten-year-old girl, and in the eyes of an adult general like Zou Jingzhi.For example, after Zou Jingzhi analyzed every bit of Mi Yuyan's memory, she was able to determine that her grandfather Mi Fuping did not become famous at a young age. Instead, he gradually became famous after marrying his grandmother Nie.

People in the clan say that Mi Fuping truly established his career after getting married. This special case has become the underlying reason why the clan members marry their children early.However, there has never been another incense-making genius in the clan.

It is probably for this reason that Mi Yuyan can deeply feel that her grandmother is highly respected in the clan. Of course, this is not only because her grandfather later added fragrant roots to the clan, but also because her grandmother He helped the clan come up with many ideas at critical times, allowing the Mi family to stand out among the many incense-making families in Jin'er and surrounding areas, and even have a certain say in the county.Mi Yuyan clearly remembers that over the years, even though her grandfather is no longer here, her grandmother has taken her widow to live in Linnan Prefecture City. When her uncle who will be the clan leader occasionally encounters difficulties, he will come to consult with her grandmother for advice.

Of course, Mi's fragrant root has been continued because of the existence of her grandmother. Not to mention her father Mi Huairen, even her younger brother Mi Kuan and her Mi Yuyan grew up under the guidance of their grandmother. Although Mi Kuan He grew up in front of his grandmother. At the age of five, he was sent to Linnan Prefecture by his father. Together with her, he taught Mongolian literacy, incense and medicine. It was not until he was seven that he returned to the clan and learned to make incense from his father.

No matter how you think about it, this thing seems unusual.According to Mi Yuyan's memory, the Mi family is better than the ordinary Shannon family. Not many of the children in the family are literate, let alone serious readers.Seriously speaking, except for the patriarch's branch, that is, Mi Yuyan's family allows the children to read and write.

Mi Yuyan's family is even more weird. Grandmother Nie seems to be just an ordinary old lady with a kind-hearted face. Not to mention her family background, Mi Yuyan is with the old lady every day, and she has never seen anything wrong with her. Regarding relatives, Mrs. Nie never mentioned her natal family. She seemed to be a person who fell from the sky. She had no father, no mother, no relatives, no family, and she still liked to read books on weekdays.

When she was a child, her grandmother read to Mi Yuyan. After she became literate, her grandmother's eyes were no longer as good as before, so it was Mi Yuyan who read to her grandmother. After she finished reading, her grandmother told her the truth and allusions.This kind of reading scene happens every day in that small courtyard.

In the past, Mi Yuyan was used to all this, as if it should be like this, but now when Zou Jingzhi thinks about it, she feels very strange, because those books can only be read by serious scholars.There are only a few girls from ordinary families who can read and read. Even some girls from elite families can only read the Thousand-Character Classics of Hundred Family Surnames or Women's Training. If they can read and calculate accounts, it is good.

Most of those who can read those books as thoroughly as Mi Yuyan's grandmother Nie did are from scholarly families or noble ladies. In the future, they will marry out to be the matron of the family, take charge of the household, and raise children and grandchildren.How could such a woman marry an ordinary Shannon kid?

Mi Yuyan couldn't help but take out the purse that Doctor Qin gave her, and took out the mutton-fat jade chain. That piece of Wuxi brand was oily and fine. It was definitely not something that an ordinary family could afford. It was a piece of jade. She had no choice but to change her courtyard, but her grandmother Nie was willing to take her to live in a small courtyard next to the warehouse, living in the smell of spices every day.

Compared with the weirdness of her grandmother's identity, Zou Jingzhi even felt that Mi Yuyan's own identity was even more unpredictable.

Mi Yuyan recalled every moment she spent with her parents, and always felt that the way they, especially Aunt Wang, looked at her brother Mi Kuan was different from the way she looked at her.She used to think that A-niang, like the other women in the clan, preferred her younger brother, which was a matter of course, but now that she thought about it, she just felt that it was different.

After breaking it apart and thinking about it, Mi Yuyan felt that she couldn't understand it. The more her thoughts wandered around, she even wondered if it was because of these things that God allowed her to be reborn in this place and live in such a little girl. What are you still confused about?
So, where should we open a hole to solve these mysteries?
