17. Chapter 17
After Sun Miaoxi returned to Sun's house, she heard that Chu Peiyan had come to visit one step ahead of her.
Chu Peiyan had only seen Mrs. Sun before, and the rest of the Sun family had not seen her, so as soon as he arrived, Mrs. Sun sent people to each courtyard to invite the girls to come and recognize their relatives.
Although Sun Miaoxi is a fool, but because of the tranquility of the incense, she has a familiar face in front of Mrs. Chu, although Mrs. Sun is afraid that she will embarrass the Sun family with nonsense, but it is not good to leave her alone, so she only asked Mother Wu to tell her repeatedly, saying that there are distinguished guests who come with Chu Peiyan today, so that Sun Miaoxi will not say anything after arriving at Songhe Hall, just eat snacks.
Sun Miaoxi didn't want this familiar face, but she couldn't resist the Gu family, and was finally dragged to Songhe Hall.
She has adjusted her emotions, and when she sees Chu Peiyan again, her heart is no longer turbulent, and all kinds of memories of her previous life are also forced in her heart, but she is interested in Zhan Hao, who is walking with Chu Peiyan——— could it be that he is the "honored guest" in Mrs. Sun's mouth?
Also, this guy is dressed in brocade and jade robes, he looks like a dog, and his identity is probably not lower than Chu Peiyan.
Sun Miaoxi bit the osmanthus cake in her mouth, but she couldn't help but think of the kiss before, and couldn't help but peek at Zhan Hao from the corner of her eye.
Who would have wanted to show off Hao but didn't squint, didn't even look at her.
Sun Miaoxi pursed her lips, swallowed the osmanthus cake in her mouth hard, and decided to ignore the disciple as well.
At this time, Chu Peiyan began to meet Mrs. Sun and other girls.
Sun Miaoxi saw him glance at everyone, and finally fixed his eyes on the west side, walked towards Sun Miaoxue who was standing in the corner with a steady step, and stretched out his hand to hand her a square brocade box.
Sun Miaoxue is obviously not the biggest girl in the ranking, but Chu Peiyan was the first to give her the meeting gift, her movements were chic and casual, and she vaguely revealed a little familiarity.
Everyone in the room had different expressions, the elders were thoughtful, and the girls were envious.
Sun Miaoxue smiled softly and reminded Chu Peiyan softly: "Cousin Chu recognized the wrong person, the one who stood under my grandmother was the eldest sister, and I was Miaoxue from Xinger." ”
Sun Miaoqing secretly glared at Sun Miaoxue, who had stolen her limelight, and pretended to playfully relieve Chu Peiyan: "Cousin Chu has just arrived, and our sisters are of the same age, so it's not surprising that he will admit his mistake," Chong Chu Peiyan, who said with a smile, bent his legs, and his tone was instantly shy: "Miaoqing has seen Cousin Chu, this gift is for me, right?" After saying that, he reached out to take the brocade box.
"No," Chu Peiyan unceremoniously blocked Sun Miaoqing's movements, and directly threw the brocade box to Rumo, who was standing behind Sun Miaoxue: "Take it, this is a gift specially prepared by Young Master Ben for your girl." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned around, picked something from the tray held by the maid at random, and raised his hand to throw it to Sun Miaoqing, which was regarded as a courtesy to her.
Sun Miaoqing's face turned pale with anger, and she endured it several times before she threw away the inconspicuous wooden box in her hand.
Chu Peiyan didn't bother to pay attention to her, and recognized her relatives one by one according to the ranking order, and the girls all sweetly called him "Cousin Chu", and they all enthusiastically presented hand-made purses, sachets, fan covers and other things as meeting gifts.
Sun Miaoxi hated Chu Peiyan to the core, so she naturally disdained to be close to him.
She didn't deliberately prepare any greeting gifts, and when it was her turn, she slowly touched her sleeve for a while, and finally found a crumpled bag of wosi candy, which was stuffed to Chu Peiyan without saying a word.
When Sun Miaoqing saw that Sun Miaoxi actually gave a bag of sugar, she sneered unceremoniously: "Third sister, do you think everyone likes to eat candy as much as you?" A fool is a fool! ”
Chu Peiyan really frowned, and threw the thing to the maid, undisguised his disgust.
Not to be outdone, Sun Miaoxi also threw the things given by Chu Peiyan on the table in disgust, and specially took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands slowly, as if Chu Peiyan was sending something dirty.
Chu Peiyan's face instantly became ugly, Sun Miaoxi deliberately disgusted him again, and smiled heartlessly at him.
Zhan Hao happened to sit opposite Sun Miaoxi, although his face was not rippling, his eyes always swept over Sun Miaoxi intentionally or unintentionally.
Sun Miaoxi noticed that someone had been looking at her, and couldn't help but raise her eyes, but she couldn't catch up with the previous line of sight, and only received the eye wave that Zhan Hao accidentally swept from her——— he sat upright with a serious expression, and the eye wave did not stay on her for long, as if they were really just meeting for the first time.
Sun Miaoxi snorted coldly, and immediately turned her head away from looking at him, just missing the shallow smile that Zhan Hao's starry eyes quietly glided by.
Chu Peiyan had already recognized all his cousins, and Mrs. Sun briefly introduced Zhanhao, only saying that she was Chu Peiyan's friend, and asked the girls to call him "Brother Zhan" with Chu Peiyan's title, without mentioning his identity, and then let the juniors play separately, leaving only Mrs. Chu to speak in the warm pavilion.
Sun Miaoqing had lost face before, and gritted her teeth with hatred for Sun Miaoxue, who had stolen her limelight, and snatched Sun Miaoxue's brocade box away as soon as she came out of Songhe Hall, and mocked in a weird manner: "Cousin Chu said that it was specially prepared for you, it must be a very rare and rare thing, we want to open our eyes, the second sister won't mind, right?" Although he said this, he did not hesitate to move in his hands, and opened the brocade box without waiting for Sun Miaoxue's consent.
A peculiarly shaped, about three feet high, carved with a pattern of entwined branch lotus, is embedded in a brocade box.
Sun Miaoqing pursed her lips disdainfully: "It turned out to be just an inconspicuous clay pot, and it was so big, I don't think it's as good as the incense burner that the third sister gets!" ”
In order to get close to Chu Peiyan, Sun Miaoxue had put a lot of effort into researching incense making, and at a glance recognized that the pottery retort in the brocade box was a steaming incense utensil, and using it to steam flower petals could refine a purer flower dew.
This kind of pottery retort is very rare, and it is only circulated in foreign lands, and she has only seen it once in a book.
didn't expect such a baby, Chu Peiyan actually named it and gave it to her.
Sun Miaoxue was secretly happy in her heart, she really succeeded in getting Chu Peiyan's other treatment!
She didn't want to compete with Sun Miaoqing, so she wanted to speak, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Chu Peiyan walking up, and the words on her lips immediately changed the content: "Big sister, although this clay pot seems inconspicuous, it is a rare Western thing, called 'retort', I heard that it is hard to find." ”
Sun Miaoxi was striding away, listening to Sun Miaoxue's introduction, she subconsciously stopped her steps, slowly turned to look at the clay pot in Sun Miaoqing's hand, and after seeing the shape of the clay pot and the patterns carved on it, her body seemed to be struck by a lightning bolt in an instant, and the memory that was pressed in her heart was also torn apart......
She loves to make incense, especially spices that are different, both in this life and in her past.
Chu Peiyan has always kept her preferences in mind, after the two got married, he always quietly searched for all things related to incense making for her, and always gave her surprises and surprises suddenly——— sometimes giving her a rare fragrant mountain; Sometimes it is to give her a few strange flowers and plants with strange aromas; Sometimes, she would be given incense steaming utensils such as tin retorts and porcelain jars.
