Chapter 147: Threading
Since the Chen family came to Shujia, the bachelor's mansion has been lively.
However, for the Shu family, the trouble has naturally increased greatly. Although the Shu family is said to be infinitely beautiful, only the Shu family knows how bitter it is in private.
Secret agents from all sides, chess pieces, and everywhere looking for opportunities were placed in the Bachelor's Mansion, which also made it much more difficult for Shu Jinhua to find out who was doing it in the incense.
Shu Jinhua was a little absent-minded when he had breakfast, for fear that the first snow would show his feet and make the other party vigilant.
"Scarlet, what do you want?" Shu Jinqi had long found out that Shu Jinhua had been distracted all morning, and she didn't participate in other people's talking, so she called her twice before she had some reaction.
Shu Jinhua retracted her thoughts, smiled apologetically, and replied, "I didn't think about anything, but I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm still a little sleepy." ”
"I'm too, I don't know what's going on, I sleep very deeply at night, but I'm tired during the day." Shu Jinqi continued Shu Jinqi's words and said, "I don't know if it's related to the weather, and the weather has been very gloomy recently." ”
Shu Jinhua's heart jumped when she heard this, she thought about it, and said with a smile, "Last night, my little girl didn't pay attention to putting too much incense, and my sister also knew that I didn't like to smell it, I was a little uncomfortable last night, and I slept a little uncomfortable at night." ”
"What girl is so lazy? Doing things in your yard doesn't even know your preferences? Shu Jinqi frowned and said dissatisfied.
Shu Jinhua shook her head and comforted Shu Jinqi, "Sister, don't be angry. That girl just didn't pay attention to putting too much. But it doesn't taste good. ”
"This time, the spices are new materials from the Aroma Pavilion, and because they are new, not many are delivered. If you don't like it, don't use it. Next time, I'll change it back to what you usually use. Shu Jinqi is in charge of the inner courtyard of the Bachelor's Mansion, and she also handles the weekday purchases.
Aroma Pavilion? Shu Jinhua secretly wrote it down, and it seems that it is necessary to take a look.
"How about my sister using this incense?" Shu Jinhua asked, she had just heard what Shu Jinqi meant, and she might also have some incense with added ingredients.
Shu Jinqi tried to recall and said intermittently. "This time, the smell seems to be a little strong. I don't really like it either. ”
"What is my cousin talking about?" Seeing Shu Jinqi and Shu Jinhua chatting, Chen Yue'er on the side also came up, blinking and asking with big eyes.
"Scarlet is saying that she didn't sleep well last night because of the incense, and I am also saying that the spices are a little pungent this time. It's not as good as before. Is there something wrong with Yue'er smelling it? Shu Jinqi touched the top of Chen Yue'er's hair and said softly.
"Is it the new batch of spices? I haven't used it yet, and there are still a lot of incense sticks from before, and I haven't opened the new ones. Why, my cousin doesn't like it? Chen Yue'er asked, "I don't usually use incense, and sometimes I can't remember to use it all year round." ”
"It's okay if you don't need to, the fragrance is too pungent this time." Shu Jinqi nodded, and instructed Chen Yue'er again. "When you go back, tell your maid, and the incense will be disposed of, in case you don't pay attention to it. You're going to be uncomfortable again. ”
"Hee-hee, got it." Chen Yue'er squinted her eyes and said with a smile.
Shu Jinhua chatted with everyone in the dining room for a while, and then went back to the Spring Pavilion first under the pretext of being sleepy. Mrs. Chen was concerned again, and repeatedly told Shu Jinhua to pay attention to rest.
Shu Jinhua could only respond to the promise, and finally appeased Mrs. Chen. That's when I finally got out.
After returning to the Spring Pavilion, Shu Jinhua went directly into the study. Early autumn is a discerning one. Seeing Shu Jinhua sitting upright behind the desk in the study, his steps were light, so he went down and called Chu Xue up.
"Miss." Chu Xue took a cup of tea, put it on the table in front of Shu Jin's picture, and stood aside and stopped talking.
"The ashes of the incense burner are still in Juqing?" Shu Jinhua took a sip of tea and asked softly.
Chu Xue nodded, bowed down and whispered, "Juqing is also a heart, Miss asked her to put away the incense burner first, and she took it directly to the room, and no one else touched it." ”
Shu Jinhua snorted, motioned for Chu Xue to approach, and commanded in her ear, "You go to Prince Heng's mansion, and give the ashes of the incense burner in Juqing and the strip of cloth in the cabinet in front of the bed in my room to Uncle Shi, and let him see what is inside." ”
Chu Xue's apricot eyes were shining, and she had a finch expression, "Miss don't worry, the slave will go." ”
"Be careful on the road and don't follow the tail. Also, don't say anything about anyone. ”
"The slave and the maid are provincial, and the young lady is waiting for the good news of the slave and maid." The first snow pats the chest and guarantees.
Shu Jinhua smiled, this girl just told her to do something, and she was excited like this. It seems that she has really been suffocating in the bachelor's mansion for half a year.
"Well, I'm optimistic about you." Shu Jinhua nodded thoughtfully, giving this girl more trust, and she can be more motivated to do things.
Sure enough, Chu Xue became even more excited and ran out with high morale.
"Hey, come back first!" Shu Jinhua was stunned, she hadn't let her go yet, why did this girl run away by herself?
"Huh?" Chu Xue was stunned for a moment, touched her head and smirked and turned back, "The slave thought that the slave maid would let the slave go here." ”
"Stupid!" Shu Jinhua shook his head, "What did I tell you in the morning, do you remember?" ”
Chu Xue looked like she suddenly realized, patted her head, and said angrily, "Look at the slave's memory!" Don't worry, Miss, slave remember! In the morning, the spirit who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping secretly went out, as if to deliver something to someone. The slave and maid followed a little far, and she didn't see what it was, but the person who connected with her was from Hongwen's family, who guarded the corner gate in the backyard. ”
"Check what Lingling has done recently, as well as the Hongwen family, you have to be careful." Shu Jinhua nodded, not at all surprised that there were people in his yard who were placed. It's just that I don't know it, but now that I know, there is no reason to keep people.
"Alright, you go first. Don't rush, take your time. Shu Jinhua patted Chu Xue's arm and motioned for her to leave now.
Chu Xue smiled and nodded, this time she didn't run in a hurry, but walked out calmly step by step.
Shu Jinhua leaned back in the circle chair and squinted, and after resting for a while, he practiced calligraphy again.
Time flies, and Shu Jinhua is immersed in practicing calligraphy and can't extricate himself. If it hadn't been for the early autumn coming up to call her for lunch, she wouldn't have realized that it was already noon.
In the morning in the dining room, Shu Jinhua said that she was not feeling well, and Mrs. Chen had already said that Shu Jinhua did not need to go to the main courtyard for lunch. Shu Jinhua was lazy, so he asked the small kitchen to cook a few simple dishes at noon and ate them alone.
After the meal, some desserts were served, and Shu Jinhua ate a lot.
"This chestnut cake is made in the kitchen?" Shu Jinhua thought that today's chestnut cake tasted good, and used three pieces in a row.
Lan Zhi was waiting for Shu Jin's painting on the side, and when she saw that today's chestnut cake was eye-catching, she said, "It was made by the slave maid in the past two days, and the former Xiaoshan bought a few pieces of chestnut cake from the street shop from outside, which tasted very good, and the slave and maid thought about whether the small kitchen could make it and eat it by herself." We should also be cleaner when we make it ourselves. ”
Shu Jinhua nodded, gargled her mouth, and asked, "Where did Xiaoshan buy it in her shop?" Specializing in dim sum? ”
Xiao Shan is the granddaughter of Qi Pozi, since the incident of Xiao Ju, the janitor Qi Pozi has been promoted, and her own granddaughter has also been gifted by Shu Jin's painting, and the rough girl from the outer courtyard has entered the Inner Courtyard Spring Pavilion on an errand.
Lan Zhi smiled, "Xiao Shan said that she went out for a walk with the mama she bought, and bought it at a dim sum shop when she passed by Qisheng Street. ”
"It tastes really good, I'd love to try other chestnut cakes." Shu Jinhua knocked and scratched, and said unfinished.
Lan Zhi lowered her eyes, Miss had an order, she, who was a maid, naturally wanted to do her best, "Miss has anything else you want to eat besides chestnut cake?" The slave maid heard that there were several dim sum shops on Qisheng Street, and one of them bought a little, and the young lady ate which one was good, and the slave maid made it according to that taste. ”
Shu Jinhua nodded when she heard this, and said in appreciation, "Fortunately, Lan Zhi has a pair of skillful hands, otherwise a master who is so picky about me may not even be able to eat." ”
"It is a blessing for a slave to be able to serve the young lady." Lan Zhi bowed down and generously responded to Shu Jin's appreciation.
"Okay, if you're not busy, you can go on a trip in person in the afternoon and buy a few more, so you can have a comparison."
Qisheng Street, Shu Jinhua smiled, it was really a coincidence, the dim sum shop she followed the woman to last night was on Qisheng Street.
Shu Jinhua used a lot of lunch and dessert, and it was also a good pastime to go for a walk in the bamboo forest after dinner.
Looking at the bamboo, which had gradually become verdant, Shu Jinhua swept away the depression of the day before, and when he was interested, he actually danced with a sword.
"Miss, Sister Chuxue is back!" Zhu Yun walked briskly through the bamboo forest and shouted at Shu Jinhua, who was dancing with a sword.
"She's pretty fast." Received the green jade soft sword, buckled the jade buckle around his waist, and Shu Jinhua and Zhu Yun returned to the hall together.
Chu Xue was not as radiant as when he left, but with an expression of chagrin and self-blame. Seeing Shu Jinhua walk in, she stepped forward quickly and carefully supported Shu Jinhua.
"What's wrong with you? I'm not old enough to need someone to support me. Shu Jinhua raised her eyebrows, not understanding what this girl was crazy about.
Chu Xue opened her mouth, but saw that Zhuyun and Juqing were still in the hall, and in the end they didn't say anything.
Shu Jinhua saw Chu Xue's expression, thinking that it might be that Uncle Shi had eyebrows, and Chu Xue wanted to speak and stopped, probably because he felt that Zhu Yun and Ju Qing were present, and it was inconvenient to speak.
"Let's go to the study." Shu Jinhua said.
Chu Xue followed behind Shu Jinhua and slowly went upstairs with her head down.
"Anyway, what's going on? When I left, I was so interested, how could I come back like a frosted eggplant? Shu Jinhua asked with a smile.
Chu Xue's eyes were red, her mouth was flattened, and she said with a crying voice, "Miss, it's useless to be a slave." As your personal maid, the slave is not competent at all. (To be continued)
