Chapter 162: Hot Springs
Zhu Fang and Pu Jia comfortably soaked in the hot spring water and chatted, and the two little maids knelt on the edge of the pool and pinched their shoulders. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When she first entered the water, she was very unaccustomed to it, and sat in the hot spring pool with her hands and feet, leaning against the pool wall with her back straight, looking very restrained.
"Let's just soak for a while, Miss still needs to wait." She said to Pick Fang.
Chu Fang lay on her back, her head resting on the brocade cushion by the pool, and said disapprerovitically: "It's okay, there is a little maid guarding by the young lady's side, so we don't have to wait." Our young lady likes to soak in hot springs, and she won't come out for most of the hour, so let's just go back to serve the young lady to change her clothes when we see the time. As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of fresh flower petals from the bamboo basket on the low table by the pool and sprinkled them into the water.
Seeing this, Pu Jia couldn't help but wonder: "Where do you get so many flowers in the winter?" ”
"It's raised in a greenhouse!" Chu Fang said casually, scooping up the flower-scented hot spring water with a jade scoop and pouring it on her arm, squinting her eyes comfortably.
Pu Jia's eyes showed an unconcealable surprise.
Flowers like this are very precious, and it is rare for someone with a head and face in Beijing to be able to put two pots in the house, let alone tear off the petals and take a bath, which is really a luxury!
She looked at Chu Fang's nonchalant expression, and a little envy welled up in her heart.
is also a slave, and the maids around Miss Li are better than others.
Seeing her staring at herself, she grabbed a handful of petals and sprinkled them on the water surface of her chest, and said with a smile: "This flower is even more fragrant when it is soaked in hot spring water, you smell it!" ”
Is it?
Pu Jia slightly carefully twisted a petal to the tip of her nose and sniffed, and the damp fragrance of flowers penetrated into her nose, making her involuntarily close her eyes, and the tense nerves slowly eased.
"Comfortable, right?" She stretched her long legs, kicked the water on her toes, and smiled lazily.
Pu Jia nodded, leaning back on the edge of the pool as she learned to pick up Fang, her cheeks fumigated by the hot mist, and she sighed comfortably.
After soaking for a while, Chu Fang called two little maids to come in and pinch their shoulders.
"Why didn't you see any flower petals on Miss's side just now?" Pu Jia asked her.
Chu Fang closed her eyes, looked very enjoyable, and said softly: "Our young lady doesn't like to bathe with flower petals, she only likes to use perfume." ”
"Why is that?"
"I don't know, anyway, our young lady has only used perfume since she was a child, rose perfume for bathing, gardenia perfume for washing hair, and jasmine perfume for washing face...... When I'm in the mood, I'll try other scents, but I don't need flowers anyway. ”
Even the fragrance dew is so particular, Pu Jia couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Then don't you have a lot of fragrance in your house?" ”
"Yes, our family not only has a lot of fragrance, because the young lady likes to pour these things, and she also opened two shops on East Street. But then the young lady found it troublesome to make these things, and she couldn't make a lot of money, so she sold the shop......"
Young and beautiful daughters like to discuss this kind of dressing up, and Pu Jia is no exception, while letting the little girl pinch her shoulders, she listens to Zhu Fang with relish, and before you know it, an hour has passed.
A mother-in-law reported outside the door that the young lady was about to get up, so they hurriedly changed their clothes and rushed over.
When they arrived, Li Guan and Wang Manqing had already put on their middle clothes under the service of the little maid.
Seeing them come in, Li Guan smiled and quipped: "I'm finally back!" I thought you two had fallen into the spring, and I was going to have someone catch you! ”
Chu Fang smiled and came to Li Guan's side to help her tie her clothes: "This is not a blessing for you and Miss Six, the slave maid and Pu Jia can steal a while and be lazy!" ”
Li Guan nodded her forehead indulgently.
But Pu Jia was not so calm, while taking the little jacket handed by the little maid to serve Wang Manqing to dress, she said in a low voice: "It's the slave who is playful, and the young lady forgives her sins." ”
“…… Yes? What the? Wang Manqing looked a little absent-minded.
Pu Jia was worried in her heart, and didn't notice her strange appearance, thinking that she was unhappy because she returned late, so she hurriedly confessed: "The slave knows that she is wrong, and she will never do it again next time." ”
Wang Manqing reacted to what she was talking about this time, and said "um" lightly.
When she came back from the hot spring villa, Wang Manqing said that she was a little tired and lay down in bed without dinner.
Bai Lu looked a little wrong, and asked Pu Jia, "Is the Hot Spring Mountain Villa fun?" Why doesn't Miss seem to be very happy? ”
Pu Jia also felt that Wang Manqing was a little uneasy on the way back, and hesitated: "It should be okay, Miss has been talking and laughing with Miss Li, and she looks very happy......"
Could it be because she and Chu Fang have been soaking in the hot spring for too long, so the young lady is angry?
But the young lady has a generous temperament, so she shouldn't be angry about this matter, right?
She was a little unsure, so she had to say to Bai Lu ambiguously: "Maybe Miss is really tired, the hot spring villa is quite far away, the road is not easy to walk in the snow, the carriage is bumpy, I also feel a little tired......"
Bai Lu did not doubt him, nodded and said: "Then let the young lady sleep for a while, it just so happens that the Hou Ye has not returned to the house yet, I will ask the mother-in-law on the stove to prepare dinner later." You've been waiting with the lady for a day, so go down and rest for a while, and I'll have someone call you while the meal is served. ”
"Okay, then I'll go back to the house and lie down for a while."
When Pujia went out, Bai Lu moved a chair and sat at the door of the bedroom to do needlework.
At this time, Wang Manqing, who was lying on the bed, did not fall asleep, she looked at the sachet hanging on the Luo tent in a daze, and her uncle Qiao Shen's words echoed over and over again in her mind: "Manqing, you are not only the daughter of the Rongning Hou Mansion, but also the cousin of my Qiao family, even if you go out of the gate of the Rongning Hou Mansion, you are not a homeless orphan girl, and you don't need to send someone under the fence." You can not care about your own reputation, but your uncle can't watch you spoil yourself. You are still young, you don't know what it means to be unpredictable, and the most terrible thing in this world is not the person who pokes you in the heart with a knife, but the kind of person who treats you well and practices you...... You said that you don't want to go back to Ningbo with your uncle and want to stay in the capital, but what are you doing staying? See how others poke you in the back and scold you? Or do you hide in that small courtyard in Jinxiang Houfu all your life, living on the mercy and charity of others? Living in this world, people should not only care about the wind and snow in front of them, the love of children and daughters, but also think about the future. Could it be that you have worked so hard to escape from the abyss of the Rongning Marquis Mansion just to cling to a man who is not worthy of your life at all? Your parents loved you like a treasure when they were alive, and your grandmother worked hard to raise you for ten years, not so that you are in the situation you are today......"
Thinking about it, she rolled over and frowned.
