Chapter 272: Glass Mirror
Due to the sufficient supply of Yan agarwood and the regular examination and dressing change by the good doctor, Chen Dabao's leg recovered very well. After mid-August, I didn't feel pain when I threw away crutches and walked, and I was able to run and jump. But Chen Afu didn't allow him to walk casually, hurting his muscles and bones for a hundred days, and still let the three of them move freely in the future.
On the evening of August 22, Chu Lingxuan, who had not been seen for many days, finally returned. It was late when he came, and the old marquis had already returned to Tangyuan with Chu Hanyan and Chu Lingzhi, Dabao was writing big characters under the lamp, and Chen Afu was sitting beside him doing needlework.
Chu Lingxuan walked in wearing a purple robe and wearing wet hair. He gave Dabao a few oil paper packets, which are special snacks in Liaocheng, including pine nut candy, pine nut cake, and sesame strips.
Dabao said politely, "Thank you, Daddy." ”
Chen Afu got up and said with a smile, "Uncle hasn't eaten yet, has he?" ”
Chu Lingxuan nodded and said with a smile, "No, I've been holding back and want to eat the wontons you made." ”
Chen Afu smiled, "Uncle sit down for a while, I'll prepare." Today, Steward Luo just bought some live shrimp, and I still keep them, and I'll make you seafood wontons. ”
Chen Dabao hurriedly said, "Mother, my son also wants to eat seafood wontons." ”
Chen Afu said, "Okay, let's do it for Dabao too." ”
She called Aunt Zeng to the kitchen to make wontons, and Chu Lingxuan checked Dabao's schoolwork in the room.
Wontons are not delicious just filled with shrimp, and they are delicious when filled with pork. She chopped half a catty of pork, and then chopped about a tael of shrimp, added soy sauce, salt, chives, and cooking wine to stir, but unfortunately there is no oyster sauce in this era, otherwise the taste will be more delicious. There is just half a pot of chicken soup left, and the wontons are cooked in chicken soup to be fragrant.
After a short time, the wontons were ready, and he scooped two large bowls first, and wanted to give Chu Huai a bowl. I scooped two more wontons in a small bowl and filled half a bowl of soup.
Brought two bowls of wontons, one large and one small, to the restaurant on a tray, and Chu Lingxuan came over with Dabao in his arms.
Both shouted "delicious, delicious". Dabao still wanted it after eating, but Chen Afu didn't agree and said, "You can't eat too much at night, it's not easy to restrain yourself." ”
Dabao watched Chu Lingxuan eat with a blank eye.
Chu Lingxuan raised his head and said, "Daddy also has to listen to your mother's words." She said you can't eat anymore, you can't eat it. ”
Dabao let out an "oh", and was afraid that he would be driven away, so he moved to Chu Lingxuan's side and said, "I haven't seen my father for a long time, and I want to talk to my father more." ”
After eating and talking for a while, Dabao accompanied him throughout the whole process, which made Chu Lingxuan very helpless. He had thought about her for so long, not to mention holding hands, but it was inconvenient to say anything in his heart.
After a few people talked for a while, Chu Lingxuan was leaving. Chen Afu got up to see him off, Dabao still wanted to follow him on crutches, but Chen Afu didn't agree, saying that he was afraid that he would fall when it was dark.
Dabao wants to say that if I'm afraid I'll fall, my mother can hug me. But seeing that the mother didn't mean that, she seemed to be a little unhappy, and she didn't dare to say this, and watched them walk out of the house.
Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan walked out of the courtyard, and Chu Huai followed.
Chu Huai saw that his master was standing in front of the courtyard gate and did not move, so he walked forward by himself with the sight and price.
Chu Lingxuan saw that Chu Huai had gone away, so he took out a palm-sized diamond-shaped mirror from his arms and handed it to Chen Afu, and said with a smile, "This is the glass mirror that I asked someone to buy in the hands of Fanren and give it to you." ”
There are very few glass mirrors in this era, and they are priceless and have nowhere to buy them. Chen Afu has traveled over for so long, and he has only seen it twice, once in the room of the little girl Chu in the General's Mansion, and once in the room of the Jiang family.
Hearing that it was a glass mirror, Chen Afu happily took it, and said with a smile, "Thank you, uncle." ”
Just wanted to take a look, but Chu Lingxuan held down the small mirror. "You can't look in the mirror at night and look at it tomorrow," he said. ”
Also, in the previous life, many people were taboo to look in the mirror at night, not to mention feudal antiquity. Chen Afu smiled and nodded, and lowered the hand holding the mirror.
The smile is like a flower, more moving than the bright moon in the sky. Chu Ling looked at her fixedly and muttered, "The moon is shining, and the best people are shining." Shu Jiao is entangled, and the labor is quiet......"
Although this master was like a junior high school student when he fell in love, Chen Afu was still moved. Bowing his head slightly, he listened to him praise himself twice, and then reminded, "Uncle, it's time to go back." ”
Chu Lingxuan seemed to have just come to his senses, this is outside the gate, not a place to say such things. Moreover, a man and a woman have been in the dark light for a long time, and they are easy to be criticized. His face was slightly hot, why did he mess up when he saw Ah Fu, and he spoke and acted like a hairy boy.
Busy said, "Okay, I'll go back, you can go back too." I'll be going to the barracks again tomorrow morning, and I'll be back in a few days. ”
Chen Afu nodded, saw him go, put the mirror into his arms, and turned back to the courtyard.
The next day, Dabao got up and saw a glass mirror on the table, and played with it very curiously for a while. As if thinking of something, he put down the mirror and asked, "Mother, did your father give you this mirror yesterday?" ”
Chen Afu replied, "Well, yes." ”
Dabao said, "Daddy is very good, and he knows that women love beauty, so he bought this lovely little mirror for his mother." When my son has a chance in the future, I will definitely buy a bigger one for my mother. ”
"Okay, mom waits." Chen Afu said with a smile.
A few days later, the corn harvest in Wangshan Village was also abundant. Although the taste did not change much, the production increased significantly, and Chen Shiying personally took a few officials there again.
It was the end of the 26th, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the autumn breeze was cool, and the climate was suitable. Chu Hanyan took Luo Mei and a few other girls to play in the children's park, and Qiqi, Gray and Gray and chasing the wind and sassy fun, and the giggles spread far away.
The sound of laughter and dog howling reached Luyuan, and Cai Wang barked wildly in anger.
Chen Afu made cucumber masks for Wang and himself in the upper room Westinghouse.
She used to use a watermelon peel mask, which also added egg whites and honey. The golden swallow who was coaxed by Chen Afu would occasionally give some swallow agarwood leaves, although it was really as small as its eyes, but with this leaf, the quality was raised by dozens of grades.
Now that the watermelon is gone, and the cucumber is almost over, Chen Afu gritted his teeth and began to use his own few cucumbers to make a mask.
Maybe it's the relationship between the addition of agarwood leaves, or maybe the watermelon and cucumber themselves are good products, and the mask effect is very good. Chen Afu even felt that it was better than those high-end brands of facial masks in his previous life.
They applied it every five days for more than two months, and now Wang's skin is much better. There are fewer wrinkles and dark spots, and they are much whiter, and although the skin is still rougher, it is much stronger than before, and it looks like it is several years younger.
Chen Afu's skin is even better, delicate and white, it can be broken by blowing, and it seems to be glowing.
The two washed their faces, and Wang said, "Ah Fu, don't use these things to make any masks in the future, wasting so much delicious food, my mother can't sleep well at night, and her heart hurts." ”
