I survived as a female assassin

This carriage wasn't as stable as the ones she saw in those costume dramas. After sitting for a while, her butt was so bumpy that she wanted to stand up...

It’s strange, how did the man in black opposite him manage to remain motionless?

"Ahem, bro, what's your name?"

He remained motionless, as if he couldn't hear her.

This person is really strange, is he deaf and dumb?

Xin Youran still didn't give up and asked, "Are you going to the capital too?"

Well, most likely he is deaf and dumb.

Xin Youran also followed his example and closed her eyes to rest, but she actually fell asleep while doing so.

In the end, it was Lao Li who woke her up.

Xin Youran looked at Old Li in front of her in a daze. Then, she came to her senses and asked excitedly, "Have we arrived in the capital?"

“Get out of the car now!”

"Okay~"

She got off the carriage, straightened her clothes, and was about to give Lao Li some money, only to find that he had already driven away in his carriage.

Why are all the people she met today weird? And the man in black sitting opposite her, when did he get off the car?

Xin Youran shook her head and decided not to think about it anymore. She decided to go around the capital first to see if there were any business opportunities.

It’s true that this capital city is huge, and it’s bustling with people coming and going, with all kinds of shops and stalls, and the constant sounds of hawking.

It would take half a day to walk through this street, right?

Time was running out, so the first stop was of course a shop selling perfume. After asking around, she finally found the largest perfume shop in the capital. The name was quite appropriate, called Ningxiang Pavilion.

Before I even reached Ningxiang Pavilion, I could already smell the aroma emanating from it from afar. Looking at the men and women coming and going, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, they all had plenty of money, their faces brimming with smiles. Who could possibly understand the joy of shopping?

Xin Youran strode in, and soon a beautiful woman came forward, "Sir, is there anything you need?"

"I want a certain ointment. Could you take me to see it?"

This woman was probably new here. She said shyly, "Sir, please follow me."

Then Xin Youran followed the woman and soon arrived at the counter full of ointments.

"Sir, please feel free to call me if you need anything."

"My name is Chuntao."

Xin Youran saw the young lady being so shy when she saw her, so she wanted to tease her. "Thank you, Chuntao."

As soon as the girl called out "Chun Tao", her face quickly turned red.

Business was more important. Xin Youran pretended to look at the ointments herself. After she finished, she sighed repeatedly, "It shouldn't be like this. How could I not find it..."

Her sigh happened to be heard by the young lady named Chuntao, who hurriedly walked over to her side and asked, "Sir, do you have anyone you like?"

"Well, to be honest, I came here to buy perfume for the woman I love, but I've searched everywhere and can't find the perfume she likes."

"Isn't your Ningxiang Pavilion the shop with the largest variety of perfumes in the entire capital?"

Xin Youran's question stumped the woman. "Our Ningxiang Pavilion is indeed just as you said. Apart from those used in the palace, all kinds of perfumes used by women in the world are here."

Xin Youran then pulled out the homemade ointment she had prepared in advance from her sleeve. "My crush was afraid I might have made a mistake, so she gave me the ointment her best friend was using."

The woman took the ointment from Xin Youran's hand, saw her smooth and delicate back of the hand, paused for a moment, then opened the lid and smelled it.

She frowned slightly, sniffed it again, but her brows didn't relax.

"You can use it as you wish."

In fact, while they were talking, Xin Youran deliberately spoke louder, and by then many guests had gathered around.

The woman became even more nervous. With trembling hands, she took out some ointment, applied it on the back of her hand and began to smell it.

At this time, some people in the crowd had already spoken up.

"Wow, what kind of ointment is this? The fragrance is so strong!"

"Yes, yes. Speaking of strong but not pungent, this fragrance is mild."

"Why does it smell a little sweet?"

“Why have I never smelled this aroma before?”

Suddenly, a loud female voice excitedly said, "I know! This is the scent of gardenia!"

"Gardenia?"

At this time, people in the crowd began to whisper about what kind of flower the gardenia is and what its fragrance is like...

With such a big commotion, the owner of Ningxiang Pavilion should come out, right?

Xin Youran was thinking about it in her mind, and sure enough, a few moments later, someone in the crowd started shouting, "It's Shopkeeper Guo!"

"Manager Guo is here!"

A path naturally made way for them in the crowd, and Xin Youran spotted the "Shopkeeper Guo" they were talking about in the crowd at a glance.

This is not just a matter of looking at you a little more in the crowd, but this "Manager Guo" really stands out from the crowd.

He was wearing a light pink round-necked brocade robe, had a tall figure, and wore makeup...

The handsome man is personified, he is really beautiful!

It is said that if this man becomes handsome, there will be no place for women.

The woman who had just received Xin Youran had unexpectedly alarmed the shopkeeper. She called out tremblingly, "Shopkeeper..."

Shopkeeper Guo just smiled gently and said comfortingly, "Chun Tao, this is none of your business. Go and get busy."

Chuntao nodded gratefully and quickly walked out of the crowd.

"Sir, may I have a word with you?"

This person is not only good-looking, but also speaks gently, with rosy lips and white teeth, and is considerate to others. So, discussing things should be much easier.

Xin Youran nodded and followed him to the inner room of the shop.

Someone was still curious about the scent of the ointment they had just smelled, and asked, "Sir, what kind of ointment did you just take? Can you let us take a look?"

"Yeah, yeah."

It seemed that the curiosity of the women in the capital had been aroused. Xin Youran pretended to turn around and say a few words to everyone, but unexpectedly, Manager Guo got there first.

"Everyone, this ointment is our special ointment. After those young ladies and gentlemen have tried it, if it receives unanimous praise, we will produce it in large quantities. I believe it will soon appear in our Ningxiang Pavilion for everyone to choose from."

Shopkeeper Guo seemed very persuasive. After he said that, everyone stopped asking about the ointment. "Since Shopkeeper Guo has promised that we can definitely buy it, then we can definitely buy it. Don't worry, we will be notified when the time comes."

"Go away, go away."

Xin Youran secretly rejoiced, hehe, this battle is almost won!

Manager Guo took her to a side hall, which should be the reception room. As soon as the two of them sat down, someone came to serve tea.

"Master, please have tea."

Xin Youran discovered that even the tea-serving girl here looked very standard and had exquisite makeup.

After the tea-serving woman left, she and Shopkeeper Guo were the only ones left in the reception room.

Shopkeeper Guo then spoke softly, "Young lady, are you going to drink tea wearing a hat and veil?"
