Chapter 67: Decanting Soup
Unconsciously, the cold fragrant Oiran poured himself glass after glass of plum wine, and actually drank all the pots. Osmanthus is thick and can warm up when drunk, but this green plum wine is the opposite, although it is scalded when it is delivered, it cannot solve the essence of cold.
"Hiss......" supported one side of his forehead on the table with one hand, Shen Yuan was a little dizzy, his eyes and forehead began to heat up, but there was a faint pain in his abdomen. Sure enough, sure enough, thinking about it for a hundred years is useless, and I drank too much between my thoughts, which made me uncomfortable, and I am afraid that I will have to be as my adoptive mother and Syracuse said, and I will have heartburn for a while.
didn't want to be seen here drunk, Shen Yuan put away the box, stood up slowly, carefully held on to the wall and walked to the door, pushed the door and beckoned a little maid to come over, telling her to wait until she went in to clean up, first went to find the Scarlet Moon and Scarlet Cloud beside her, and called for two basins of clear water and sent them to her room together.
Back in the room, Shen Yuan entered the inner room, sat in front of the dressing table, opened the makeup and put away the hairpin given by Shen Han, opened the makeup mirror again, and removed the jewelry by himself. Just picked the slender silver silk vertical line pearl earrings and the sideburns of a Miao silver seven-tailed bell tassel phoenix hairpin, there were many girls, Scarlet Moon and Scarlet Cloud one carried a food box, one held a variety of towels and a bottle of fragrant dew, and two or three small ones, each holding something.
"Why are there so many people?" Shen Yuan asked casually, beckoning to the two of them, and the two hurriedly put down their things and stepped forward. Scarlet Cloud squatted down and helped her take off the dragon ring and put it away carefully; Scarlet Moon picked the remaining pearls for her and pressed her hair, and replied while holding her sideburns: "I met Madame on the way, and I heard that Miss was going to fetch water, and said that Miss Xu was drunk, so let me bring a towel and dew, add a handful of it to the water, put a compress on the forehead of the young lady, and then call for a bowl of sobering soup." ”
Before Scarlet Moon finished speaking, Scarlet Cloud had already seen the stitches and sent the decanting soup. Before they could get closer, they had already heard their master's protests.
"I don't like this." Hearing the words "sobering soup", Shen Yuan furrowed his brows, "A smell of medicine, take it aside, don't let me see it." ”
She is not an alcoholic, and rarely relies on sobering soup to relieve her drunkenness. There are many kinds of decanting soup, and when Shen Yuan wants to use it, Mo Yuan always asks the kitchen to fry the thick bitter medicine. Sure enough, this will come over the clouds, and it will be a bitter and bitter smell of Chinese medicine.
"Knowing that the decanting soup is not delicious, can you be alert to yourself not to be greedy for drinking, so that you will not make a mistake." The statement of the Lady of the Pavilion...... Makes sense, very much makes sense.
"Girl, this is what Madame ordered." Scarlet Yue took the bowl, stirred it with a small porcelain spoon, half-leaned over to coax Shen Yuan's ear, and deliberately accentuated the word "madam".
Quickly throwing away half of his eyes, Shen Yuan still compromised, took the sobering soup and drank it all, the rich bitter taste immediately filled the entire mouth, almost breaking through the top of the skull, it was really miserable.
Stuffing the soup bowl back into the maid's hand, Shen Yuan patted his heart with one hand, grabbed the small square clay pot in the corner of the dressing table with the other, picked up the lid with one hand and stuffed an almond frost candy into his mouth, only then did he feel that his soul was suppressed, and he didn't follow the bitter taste to come out.
"The girl is still the same as before, she doesn't like to take medicine." Scarlet Moon was not afraid, and joked with her with a smile, took the soup bowl, and patiently waited for Shen Yuan to calm down after eating enough sugar.
"You know it's medicine!" Shen Yuan glanced at her angrily, and kept eating four almond frosting candies in a row, and the bitterness in his mouth was gone.
After the little farce of the sobering soup, Shen Yuan got up and sat down on the soft couch under the opposite window, washed his face by a few maids, stood up, changed into a close-fitting plain fine cloth bedclothes, and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes to recuperate.
Scarlet Moon wrung the fragrant herb and clear dew handkerchief, folded one piece and put it on Shen Yuan's forehead, and gently wiped her cheeks in her hand until the slight crimson color on her face receded, and then took the camellia balm, rubbed it on her face, and gently rubbed it with her fingertips.
After packing up this set, Scarlet Yue pulled the thin quilt and covered Shen Yuan again, and Fang led the other people to gently exit the room and close the door.
Shen Yuan didn't fall asleep, and when Scarlet Moon applied perfume to her, she was thinking about how long the two maids had been with her. Shen Yuan is twenty years old this year, and Scarlet Moon has been following her since she was still in the Moyu family, and it has been fifteen years now. The name "Scarlet Moon" was given to her by Shen Yuan, it has no meaning, that is, the first night was fifteen, the moon was round, and there was a pale crimson moon halo, Shen Yuan thought it was very beautiful.
Scarlet Moon is older than Shen Yuan, she is twenty-two years old this year, she is good-looking, white and clean, and has a good personality, but she has no intention of marrying, Shen Yuan has mentioned several times to find a marriage for her, but she has declined, so Shen Yuan no longer asks.
As for the younger Scarlet Cloud, it was after he arrived in Mojing. When Leng Xiang Pavilion first opened, because of the tiring journey to Beijing, Shen Yuan was sick and unconscious every day. At that time, Mo Yuan had to take care of both businesses, and he was so anxious all day that he couldn't take care of Shen Yuan at all.
At first, after half a month, seeing that it was really not a way, Mo Yuyuan chose a good-looking and honest girl among the girls who bought it, and served Shen Yuan with Scarlet Yue, and they could laugh and relieve boredom together. The name of Scarlet Cloud was naturally given by Shen Yuan, and it didn't mean anything, just drawing a gourd in the same way.
Scarlet Cloud is smaller, but eighteen, she was originally a maid from a large family, but because her father and mother made a mistake, she was kicked out together, and she was sold into Lengxiang Pavilion. At that time, she thought that she was the way out for others to practice in the future, but she didn't expect to be picked by the wife of the pavilion master to serve the eldest lady.
This young lady's status in Lengxiang Pavilion is self-evident, and it is good to be her maid, although she herself is sometimes powerful, she has never let the maids freeze and starve, and rarely beats and scolds. Therefore, Scarlet Cloud was very happy, serving Shen Yuan wholeheartedly, and no longer thought about anything else. In comparison, Scarlet Cloud is more lively, and her face is thicker than Scarlet Yue, so when he taught that Tanhualang a lesson, Shen Yuan deliberately brought her along.
Shen Yuan occasionally thinks about who would have bought him if he hadn't met Mo Yu Mandarin Duck at the beginning, and what would he be like now. If it can still be found by Shen Han...... No, if Shen Han's whereabouts could still be known, would Shen Han still go to her and recognize her?
She tried not to think so much, it was still the same sentence, and it was useless to think about it for a hundred years. Mo said that in the past few years, she felt that Shen Han was sincere in her kindness, even if it wasn't, what could she do? Shen Han could have ignored himself and was still a respected general Zhenyuan, but he didn't do that, and he also looked for a husband for himself, and persuaded himself to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors-
All the benefits fell on herself, and she just reciprocated.
