Chapter 22 The Yellow Oriole on the String
Scarlet Cloud leaned sideways, half of her body leaned on the edge of the bed, looked up at Shen Yuan, stretched out her hands to cover the back of her hand and patted it gently.
"It's not a nightmare, it's a good dream." Shen Yuan smiled reluctantly, and the corners of his eyes turned red first. Scarlet Cloud was panicked and was about to look for a veil, when he heard the second half of the sentence.
"I dreamed that it was time for us to come to the Cold Fragrance Pavilion."
"Miss ......" Scarlet Cloud somehow, his nose was also sour, he quickly blinked and wrinkled his nose, and clenched his master's hand more and more, "We don't want to do that, how good the days are now, and in the future, Miss will become close to the son again, and there will be good days in the future." ”
Scarlet Cloud thought he had hit the point, but he received a chestnut in the head: "Bad mouth, what are you talking about...... Who's going to get married. If you want to get married, I'll go back to my wife today. ”
"Oops!" Scarlet Cloud rubbed her head and squeezed her eyebrows exaggeratedly, "Miss is so ruthless, you see, it's a big bag, but it hurts, I can't marry if I want to, so I can only rely on Miss for the rest of my life." As he spoke, he covered his head and buried his head in Shen Yuan's lap, looking like a full li.
In fact, it really didn't hurt at that moment, but it was just a funny look, coaxing her master to laugh. The days when I first came to Lengxiang Pavilion, although I didn't suffer hardships, it was also a world of difference from now, and it was at that time that Scarlet Cloud was brought up because of a lack of manpower, and he followed Shen Yuan to take care of it, and nine years passed in a flash.
The hard work paid off, Shen Yuan smiled, and rubbed the top of her hair with a smile: "Rely on it, just rely on it, you two, one is better than the other, how can the girl not marry when she is older, but Scarlet Moon has pushed back again and again, and now even you have learned badly." It's just that in the Qinglou, I asked someone to go back to Qifeng's hometown, and I just found relatives for you? ”
Scarlet Cloud poked out his head, opened his eyes wide, and said, "Don't do it, the slave and maid will follow the young lady when she is young, and she won't go anywhere else." It's still early, do you want to sleep again? ”
"Even if you will interrupt," Shen Yuan raised his hand to knock her again, "I can't sleep this time, why is it so cold today?" ”
"Slave maid go and see." Scarlet Cloud wrapped his clothes, put on his two sleeves, went to the side of the bed, lifted a corner curtain and looked out, and turned his face and said, "Miss, it's raining outside." Although it was dark outside, it was time for the maids to get up early to clean up, she let go of the curtain and went outside to pour a cup of tea for Shen Yuan, but just picked up the teapot and stopped: "Miss, why don't you go to the kitchen and make you a hot ginger jujube tea, and pass the breakfast by the way?" ”
"Okay, let's go." Shen Yuan lay back on the bed by himself.
"Is there anything special that Miss would like to eat?" Scarlet cleaned the table quickly, put away the tea set used yesterday, and took it to the backyard to be cleaned.
The weather was hot and cold, Shen Yuan was a little embarrassed, his appetite also weakened, and he couldn't think of what to eat, so he threw the question back: "Call this day to make a lot of trouble without appetite, call the one last night, called Sister-in-law He, tell her to watch it, if it is done well, grab twenty or thirty dollars and give it to her." ”
Scarlet Cloud agreed, I don't know if I tasted the sweetness of gossip, and when I passed by the second floor, I stretched my neck to look at the room of the warbler, and I didn't see the maid again. As soon as I went out of the small door downstairs, I smelled the smell of the moist earth in the air outside, and I didn't take a few steps to have a rough maid come up, and took an umbrella to help hold it, because of the humidity of the rainy day, I was afraid of delaying the stove, and the people in the backyard put on their clothes, and were busy back and forth between the firewood room and the stove.
"Suddenly it started raining, but fortunately I didn't delay the fire cooking. Originally, the weather was hot, so I only used a small room to prepare firewood, for fear of running out of water...... Oops! The little girl was fluctuating, and she was knocked by the scarlet cloud: "Bah! Don't talk nonsense, what kind of water to walk, beware of the housekeeper's mother who hears and scolds you. ”
"......" The little maid noticed the gaffe, hurriedly covered her mouth and lowered her head, and quietly looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention, she stuck out her tongue and continued to walk with her head stuffed.
Sister-in-law He had been busy on the stove for a long time, and she didn't miss this good errand, and after Scarlet Cloud finished explaining, she happened to wash the tea set under the eaves of the door, and was curious by the way, how to know that those two kinds of food could please the Oiran.
"I only said a snack, but I brought back a plate of spicy and spicy hot food, sister-in-law He, are you really not afraid that Miss will be annoyed?"
Sister-in-law He cut the vegetables with a smile: "When I was brushing first, I saw the girl come to deliver the dishes and chopsticks, saying that the young lady appreciated the food, and asked the cook to remember that no mushrooms are allowed in the future, so I guessed that the young lady's dinner must have been ruined, so I made a sweet and appetizing one." ”
When talking about the cook, she deliberately lowered her voice, and then snuggled her mouth behind her, turned her face and whispered to Scarlet Cloud: "They just came in, I don't know the preferences of the young lady's master, the girl is kind, and she helps to say a few good words in front of the master, she is not intended, she wants to touch the young lady's moldy head." ”
Scarlet Yun nodded first, and then smiled: "Sister-in-law He, you are considerate." ”
"Madam is a benevolent person, so she has such an eldest sister, let's be careful and thoughtful, we can make the master happy, and we can also accumulate blessings for the master and ourselves, right?"
Sister-in-law He was complimented, rubbing her hands happily, and she didn't see pride and pride, and her answer was just right. Scarlet Cloud saw it in his eyes and wrote them down one by one.
"That's just as well. But fortunately, the young lady only told us to withdraw the roasted wheat, and did not say much. Scarlet Cloud had already washed the tea set, wiped his hands clean, and broke a piece of old ginger to rinse and scrape the skin. Sister-in-law He saw it, freed up half of the board for her, and brushed the kitchen knife again: "I was also guessed, Miss is naturally happy to eat, if you don't like it, the old woman has one, and it's nothing to take two sentences." ”
"Sister-in-law He told jokes, how did she become an old woman." Scarlet Cloud sneered, picked up the knife and cut the ginger shreds, held a few round red dates, peeled a piece of brown sugar, threw them into the silver cho together, and simmered on the fire.
The kitchen here is bustling, but the upstairs in front is surging with dark tides. Cloudy and dark, with the sound of rain, it's perfect for a lazy night's sleep or a chance to do something. Guanying has always woken up early, still a little sore back, turned over and snuggled up to Young Master Qi, stretching out his fingertips and wandering on people's chests. That Young Master Qi was probably tired the night before, and he didn't wake up, so he touched her and pressed her to continue sleeping.
Although this did not fulfill the intention of the top lady, it was not very bad, so she obediently closed her eyes. It's a pity that her road to success is always not so smooth, and a pipa sound breaks the beautiful silence and penetrates into her ears without saying anything.
What's going on? Guan Ying frowned and pretended not to listen, but the pipa was about to drill into her ears, one higher than the other, and kept beating her eardrums, as if it was not playing the strings, but the strings in her head.
