[Chapter 19: A Sleepy Dream]

"Miss, Miss......" Qiu Wei's voice. Gently, the feathers brushed over the pinna.

Jingyi didn't open her eyes, shook her hands, and said vaguely, "Just get up." ”

"Just get up?" Qiu Wei smiled and watched Jingyi move to the pillow again.

"Hmm." Jingyi replied.

Qiu Wei quietly retreated and put the gauze tent away. Before going out, he threw a handful of incense into the incense burner. The cigarette curled up, and after a while, Jing Yi was heard sneezing inside.

Jingyi turned over and sat up, and said in a low voice, "Qiu Wei, you girl...... I know I don't like burning incense. Deal with me with this......" She groggily, touched the pocket watch next to the pillow, and glanced at the time, it was still early to get up. Qiu Wei, this girl, is always afraid that she will miss the hour, so she always has to ask three times and four times in advance.

She is also cautious, the old lady said that she is allowed to rest well these days, and she does not need to get up early to say goodbye, and she is not willing to be lazy. always made such a story on her own initiative, although no one blamed her her since she entered the house, in the end, she felt that everyone looked at her a little differently, and her words and deeds needed to be more cautious.

It's been nearly a week since she came back, and every day except for going to the upper room in the morning and dusk, she is closed in Langyuan. My aunt laughed at her, because she went out and got a tan, so she had to cover her white and go back; The old grandmother specially asked people to send her an emollient ointment, saying that it could make the skin white and smooth...... After using it, she was covered in a strange fragrance, and the fragrance was bursting everywhere she moved, and she was uncomfortable.

"Qiu Wei!" She got up to take a shower and called Qiu Wei in.

Qiu Wei smiled, and when she came in, she said, "The bath water has already been boiled." As he spoke, he handed her a bowl of soup.

Jingyi frowned and pushed away.

"Miss, you are black like this, you must take it internally and apply it externally. Otherwise, my uncle will come back and see it, yo, I will be shocked...... I thought you were going to come to a "Quanmei Case". Qiu Wei joked Jingyi.

"Nonsense!" Jingyi passed by the mirror and glanced at the sleepy-eyed woman in her pajamas, but she didn't see it, with freshly permed curly hair, small curls clinging to her scalp, fluffy like a ball of thread...... She covered her hair with an "ah", turned her head and glared at Qiu Wei and said, "I really shouldn't listen to the third aunt and grandmother, look at what this has become?" ”

The third aunt and grandmother, Tao Yinrun, are thinking about perming their hair recently. Not only did he invite a barber to come to his house to try the Western perm brought back by Tao Er'an to make a fashionable hairstyle, but he looked at Jingyi's short hair and said that it was not good, so he insisted that she also perm her hair. Tao Yinrun curled Jingyi's short hair compared to the foreign girl in the magazine, and when it came out, it was completely different from the foreign girl. The old grandmother thought it was fresh and interesting, and praised it for being good-looking; The mother-in-law frowned when she saw it...... Everyone else said that Grandma Qi's appearance had completely changed. Cousin Wen Pei said that the seventh sister-in-law is like a foreign girl.

"They all say it's beautiful." Qiu Wei said with a smile. Wait for Jingyi to take off her nightgown, stand under the shower, and collect her clothes for her, "Miss just has a tanned face...... The ointment given by the old lady still works, right? Every day, when I touch some of them, they become slippery and greasy. It's really fragrant...... I can't tell you why it smells so good. ”

"It's just too fragrant. Every day, it's like sprinkling half a bottle of toilet water. I went out here, and Xuanruitang could smell it. Jingyi turned her back, the water was a little hot, and her skin turned red after a moment.

Qiu Wei laughed when she heard this.

Jingyi didn't have any instructions, and she went out.

The water splashed into her eyes, and Jingyi felt a little pain. I took a towel to wipe it, and the fog in the bathroom made her feel stuffy. Putting on her bathrobe, she pushed open the window a little. The bathroom window is made of stained glass, and the sunlight is faint in the morning, and the brilliance of the glass window is also faint. She leaned over and looked into the back garden—and before she knew it, the flowers and trees in the backyard had grown taller...... She doesn't like the florist's special pruning, and the flowers and trees in Langyuan are only arranged in small details, so it seems that the flowers and trees here are more vibrant and free-spirited than elsewhere.

She took a few deep breaths. The early morning air was crisp with the smell of grass and leaves. She looked at the large swimming pool in the middle of the green grass in the backyard, which was empty and unused.

She remembered that two days ago, her aunt and grandmother had said that this summer was a little hot, and if it was hot, it would be better to come here to splash and splash water...... She smiled, thinking that today she should remember to tell someone to clean this place first and put water in. No one swims in the water, even if they raise lotus flowers? I often think about the cute appearance when she asked the nanny to pick lotus flowers for her when she was playing by the water.

Thinking of Cersei, she smiled and went out to look through it, only to find a children's book, a gift from Cersei on her birthday. The little girl stubbornly thought that her favorite children's book was the best gift—she picked it up and was about to flip it through when she saw the stationery envelope pressed under the book. It's all letters that have been pressed on the desk for some days. A few of the letters were sent by the family, originally for her to go abroad, and the family sent many things in a hurry. There are many words in the letter, and at this time, it seems that it was a long, long time ago...... Jingyi flipped through the letter, a little melancholy for a while.

She missed the train, but it was still too late to leave.

Hearing footsteps outside, she took the letter and the children's book, and said Qiuwei came in and applied the ointment to me...... He turned around and half-removed his bathrobe and walked to the bed. The ointment was placed at the head of the bed, a large porcelain jar. Although the ointment is precious, Qiu Wei is ruthless enough, and she helps her apply a thick layer every time.

She reached out and opened the porcelain jar, and suddenly the smell was strange.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch the ointment in the jar, stained on her hand, the hazel grease, pushed out on her arm, a thin transparent layer...... She looked down and sniffed. I don't know how many kinds of herbs and spices were used to mix such a taste. After smelling it for a long time, I feel good.

But it was still too strong, and if it weren't for the old grandmother, she would never use such an ointment.

The door opened and closed, and she moved into the tent. I didn't see Qiu Wei when I turned around, and said again: "It's not too late, it's too late...... Qiu Wei? ”

She just rubbed the ointment on her hands. Except for the face, it is the hands that are the darkest tanned. Xu has used the medicine for a while and it is still effective, and she looks at it herself, but it is not much different from before.

"You urged me just now, I'm okay now, you're not in a hurry......" Jingyi complained softly.

"It's me." The gauze tent was lifted, and Tao Xiang's figure appeared in front of Jingyi.
