Chapter Seventy-Three: Liu Quyin (II)
About two hours later, a little maid came to knock on the door, and Scarlet Cloud opened the door only to see Liu Quyin following behind, carrying a food box, and shouting into the room: "Mo Yu Niang, I'm here to bring you a snack." ”
This voice is not a demon, and it is not a charm, but listening to it provokes people's hearts, Shen Yuan's hand trembles, and he almost his fingers with the tip of a needle. She put down the needle and thread and invited Liu Quyin to come in, but she saw the other party put down the food box along the table, and as soon as she lifted the lid, a sweet aroma of osmanthus wine came to her nose.
"Mo Zhen lady, try my osmanthus pearl wine?" Liu Quyin took out a plate of white glutinous and hot dim sum, and a small porcelain bowl, held it straight to Shen Yuan, scooped a spoonful and made a gesture to feed her personally.
This scared everyone in the house, Scarlet Yue hurriedly took it with one hand, and played a round with a smile: "Thank you Master Liu, this kind of work is still done by slaves, and I am used to serving the young lady." ”
It is said that it is made of osmanthus pearl wine, but in fact, it is the glutinous rice balls brewed and boiled by osmanthus wine, and I think it is the osmanthus brewed by the two jars, after all, it has been fermented for so long, and it is more than enough to cook the wine. What is rare is that this glutinous rice ball is fragrant and fragrant, and it is not like the usual taste that only relies on soup to bring out the taste.
Liu Quyin saw that Shen Yuan had a look of surprise on his face, and sat down in front of her unceremoniously, picked a handful of hair on his forehead, held his chin and looked at her with a smile: "Do you remember those two jars of wine?" This glutinous rice ball is made of ground glutinous rice in the jar and mixed with new rice. ”
"That's true," Shen Yuan also smiled at her, his eyes full of approval, "Master Liu's clever thoughts, Yan'er has thanked her here." ”
"Hey, the little lady is polite......" Liu Quyin looked at the Oiran up and down quite meaningfully, and suddenly approached without warning, and reached out enthusiastically to brush the broken hair hanging down her cheeks, "The lady is thin and weak, and she can't help but eat more wine-brewed food, which is good for you, and this rice wine cake, don't forget to taste it......" Saying that, he gave her a meaningful look, got up and left with a smile, leaving the three people in the room, all looking like they had just been rolled by thunder.
"Miss, this ......" Scarlet Moon was stunned, holding the bowl and spoon and didn't know what to do.
"What is this...... I'll do it myself. Shen Yuan was also confused, unconsciously took the bowl, and after eating two spoonfuls, he found that there were still two lying fruits hidden. Leng Xiang Oiran only felt confused, and inexplicably began to think about an extremely serious but ridiculous problem - could it be that his own ice and snow skin can even attract women.
It is undeniable that although this Liu Quyin has a somewhat eccentric personality and hobbies, she is really proficient in wine, and a jar of waste wine has become a good product through her skillful hands. This pearl wine is already very good, that plate of dim sum called rice wine cake, poke a soft and glutinous glutinous, pull off a little but unexpectedly strong, the entrance osmanthus taste sweet, the wine aroma is rich, taste it and make people forget.
Glutinous rice is easy to accumulate, and after using the dim sum, it's almost time for dinner. Shen Yuan didn't want to eat, so he asked Scarlet Moon to light the lamp, Scarlet Cloud went to the kitchen to pass the word, sent the food box back by the way, and then took the food of the two maids back, and went back to his house.
After sending the maid away, Shen Yuan hugged the pipa, leaned on the beauty couch along the wall and window in the outer room, adjusted the strings carelessly, and plucked a few sections casually.
Everyone in Mojing knows that the cold-faced Oiran can play the pipa well, but there are not many people who have ears. That is, Mo Yu Yuan, Shen Han, and Snow City, these three people listened to her play in person, and the others were in the crowd, and occasionally during the New Year's Festival, Shen Yuan was happy and would go to the front hall to play a song. Her pipa music style is varied, sometimes soft around the fingers, sometimes straight as a galloping horse, and there can be thousands of changes in a song, which can be described as wonderful.
This Master Liu's wine-stuffed dim sum seemed to be a little intoxicating, and there was already a small stove in the room, Shen Yuan felt that his face was a little hot, so he hurriedly put the pipa, poured himself a cup of tea and drank two sips, and then took a small porcelain jar with four corners from the corner of the dressing table, and put a sugar in it. After eating the marzipan, I changed to a can of soufflass, which is also round and white and cute, and the milk flavor in the entrance is very strong, and I can settle my mind with one.
When Scarlet Cloud and Scarlet Moon came back, Shen Yuan told them to hurry up and fetch water to wash up. After loosening her hair, carefully tied it up, washed her face and wiped it, she lay down on the beauty couch, and the two maids moistened her face and hands. When the weather cools down, it also becomes dry, before rubbing the camellia balm, apply a layer of almond oil on the hands, and change the face to the pearl paste with pearl powder and a few flavors of medicinal powder.
The face and hands have been maintained, and the hair cannot fall. Shen Yuan put on a plain shawl, and Scarlet Moon combed the ends of her hair with Shou Wu oil, until it was all melted into her hair. went to the shawl, changed into fine plain cloth bedclothes, Shen Yuan stopped reading, and went directly to the bed to lie down. This will have been replaced with a thicker silk quilt, which is very comfortable to cover the body.
Shen Yuan was counting the days in his heart, it had been half a month since Shen Han came back this time, and according to common sense, he could usually stay in Beijing for two months. Shen Han often said that it would be best if he could stay in Beijing again, but if he was stationed in the northwest, he would have more opportunities to make meritorious contributions-
"Our Shen family is different from those princes and nobles after all."
Shen Yuan actually felt very sorry for Shen Han, obviously he could live more easily with the credit left by his father and ancestors, why bother to work so hard? But slowly she also understood that only when she fought it down by herself did she feel down-to-earth. Shen Han must have his own plans, so let him go.
Thinking about it, Shen Yuan slowly fell asleep, and the night was exceptionally peaceful.
Sleep well the night before and tend to wake up easily in the morning. Shen Yuan did it casually, and took a walk in the garden alone. After a trip, I was refreshed, and my whole body was a lot more relaxed.
She felt that the weather was really getting cold day by day, but she was sweating a little, and she was actually shivering a little on the way back to her room. Afraid that the old disease would recur again, as soon as she returned to the room, she immediately asked Scarlet Moon to pass hot water, took a comfortable mugwort bath, and then began to wash and comb her hair and change clothes for breakfast. In previous years, when the weather was cold, I always had to prepare to move to the back garden for the winter, burn the earth dragon, and the whole house was warm. I don't want to bother this year, and it's the same to light the stove more.
The air at the end of October is cold, let alone until the end of the year. Shen Yuan never understood why he had to let Shen Han return to the camp at this time. Roughly pinch your fingers and calculate, and push back the time together, just in time to catch up with the ancestors when you are in Beijing, isn't it the best of both worlds?
