Chapter 68: The First Look (I)
The current life is very stable, and Shen Yuan doesn't want more. Look at Crimson Moon and Scarlet Cloud, do they have their own good luck? Therefore, although Shen Yuan does not believe in ghosts and gods, he also has a sense of awe, and often feels that maybe in the dark, everything is really certain.
What do you want to do so much...... Pulling back his thoughts, Shen Yuan blinked, the gauze tent next to the bed was not put down, and it was still bright outside. She didn't want to sleep at this time, so she lay quietly for a while, feeling that her stomach was not so uncomfortable, and although the sobering soup was bitter, it was really effective.
This year's new plum wine is made by a new sake brewer. Lin Yu's hometown father sent a letter and asked her to go back. The new master was a young girl, surnamed Liu, who made excellent wine, and said that she was taught by some master from the north...... Shen Yuan had only seen it once on the day Master Liu first came, and his appearance was not outstanding, but he had a bit of a clever face, and when he saw that he looked at her, he handed over one, and smiled a little ruffianly?
This Master Liu was quite uninhibited, and after brewing this season's green plum wine, he hurriedly took leave, saying that he was rushing to give her her own master's death day a stick of incense. Leng Xiangge doesn't need a wine master to be there on weekdays, and the ink mandarin duck is accurate, who knows that by coincidence, there will be a problem with the osmanthus brewing, and no one can find a reason to discuss it.
What does a winemaker need to look good at? Shen Yuan thought of this, and he felt funny. It seems that this plum wine also has a side effect, which will make people become silly.
After a while, Crimson Moon and Crimson Cloud returned, and did not enter the inner room, but only sat at the small round table in the outer room, taking the unfinished needlework and continuing quietly.
Lying down until evening, someone knocked on the door, and Scarlet Cloud went to open the door. It was Sister-in-law Wen from the backyard who came, who was Wen Yan'er's mother, who came to ask the Oiran when she would have dinner and what she wanted to eat. Scarlet Yun told her to wait, and walked into the inner room softly and slowly, and when she saw that Shen Yuan was awake, she stepped forward, leaned down and asked her in a low voice, "Is Miss awake?" The kitchen man came and asked, what would the young lady want to eat at night? When will meals be delivered? ”
"I want something cool, appetizing." Shen Yuan thought for a moment, "Just let them make a vegetarian fried yam, a sesame mixed lotus root slices, and jujube paste lotus seed white fungus soup, remember to be frozen, and send some plum snow balls made today, and a pot of green plum wine." ”
"Miss!" Scarlet Cloud stomped her foot lightly, "Madame just poured you a decanting soup, and you forgot?" ”
"If you don't talk about it, no one will know." Shen Yuan also somehow, suddenly missed the taste of the green plum wine very much, "You go in person, quietly take some, half a pot is fine." By the way, take some of the peaches that have been simmered, cut them and bring them back together. ”
"Well, that's it, just take half a pot, girl, you can't ask for it anymore." Scarlet Yun was still not at ease, seeing that Shen Yuan no longer paid attention to himself, knowing his young lady's temper, he had to go back to Sister-in-law Wen, and he also went to the backyard to get plum wine and fruits.
"Scarlet Moon." After the two left, Shen Yuanfang called. Scarlet Yue heard the sound and came into the inner room, helping Shen Yuan to get up: "Does the girl want to change her clothes?" ”
"No need, I won't go out anyway." Shen Yuan let Scarlet Moon help him, got out of bed and walked to the dressing table and sat down, opened the makeup mirror, and the person in the mirror seemed to be a little tired. Scarlet Moon smoothed her hair, twisted it loosely a few times, and tied it with a plain ribbon.
At this time, it was already a little dark, Scarlet Moon went everywhere to open the lampshade and light the candles, Shen Yuan walked to the small round table outside and sat down, Scarlet Moon came over to clean up the needlework on the table, and came back and handed Shen Yuan a cup of tea: "Girl, drink a cup of tea first, moisten your throat, the kitchen will send food over in a while." ”
Taking the teacup, Shen Yuan didn't talk to Scarlet Yue, took a sip and put it down, casually thinking about what the warbler said during the day, and the osmanthus caused a problem.
Is it because of the weather? Or is it because of osmanthus? Or koji...... Before Shen Yuan could come up with some eyebrows, Scarlet Cloud had already come back first, and as soon as the peaches and wine were arranged, Sister-in-law Wen also arrived, and sent a food box, which was exactly what Shen Yuan wanted.
Not in a hurry to eat something, Shen Yuan poured a glass of wine first and tasted it slowly, and said that he had half a pot, and sure enough, there was only half a pot. After drinking half a cup and setting it aside, I took the chopsticks and ate slowly.
Because he had been lying down all afternoon, Shen Yuan had no appetite. The white fungus batter from the kitchen was so thick that she only ate two bites and put it down; The fried yam and lotus root slices were still refreshing, and she ate half a plate each. After that, she put down her chopsticks, poured only the green plum wine, tied the fruit with a small silver skewer, and tasted it leisurely.
After about half a peach and two snow balls, the half pot of plum wine was gone. Scarlet Cloud suddenly became nervous, but Shen Yuan didn't break his promise, and asked them to clean up the table and go back to eat, while he sat on the soft couch in the inner room and read the book "Zhou Yi" on the small table with the lamp.
The two maids retreated and came back soon, Scarlet Moon made the bed, sat on the other side of the soft couch, and waited for Shen Yuan to ask for tea at any time. Scarlet Cloud hugged Shen Yuan's changed clothes, sent them to the backyard to wash, came back and closed the door, sat next to Scarlet Moon and continued to do needlework.
Quiet time always passes quickly, "Zhou Yi" needs to be carefully studied, and before two pages have been turned, the sky is already dark, and the lights of thousands of homes are already lit up. Shen Yuan's neck was a little sore, and her back was also sore, she let go of the book, straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief, and Scarlet Yue hurriedly walked over and pounded her back for her. Scarlet Cloud went to fetch peppermint oil, poured it on her fingertips, and gently rubbed it on both sides of her forehead.
Looking out of the window, the sky was like a dark blue jewel, the color was heavy, and it was already late at night. The time when the business of the Leng Xiang Pavilion was lively was naturally at night, but counting the hours, this meeting had already passed. Shen Yuan regretted a little, he shouldn't have to drink the green plum wine at dinner, it would really be a bit heartburn, it is estimated that the strength of the wine in the afternoon has not passed, and he added half a pot to make trouble in the evening.
It's quiet outside, and it's okay to go out for a walk and breathe, but since the last time I ate too much ice cheese, and was secretly uncomfortable at night and was discovered by the pavilion master, Shen Yuan has become more and more lazy, and everything that is not accurate can be avoided, the weather is hot and irritable, and I don't want to hear about it.
"Scarlet Cloud, go and wash up with hot water. Scarlet Moon, pour me another cup of tea. ”
After some consideration, she decided to be on the safe side, drink a cup of tea and wash up and sleep. Scarlet Cloud answered, Scarlet Moon poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, turned around and went to the dressing table to get the bath bean lotion for washing and bathing.
Unexpectedly, before Shen Yuan's tea could be drunk, Scarlet Cloud came back in a hurry, with a fine layer of sweat on his forehead: "Girl! Oh no, someone broke in downstairs and said that he wanted the best girl to accompany him. The top lady and Miss Sheng had just gone, but the guest was not satisfied and said......"
Scarlet Cloud rushed in with a flaming shout, and when she slipped under her feet, there was a "poof" sound, and she fell down in front of her master's knees.
