Chapter 107: Quiet Dust Makes Fragrance
"All words and deeds must be downright and generous, and you must not learn to hook the fence and the like, if there is no urgency, the skirt must not be shaken when walking, and the sleeves must not be shaken......"
"Don't hunch over when you salute, put your hands on your hands, and bend your knees like this...... Don't stretch out your head and shrink your head, like a grasshopper after autumn...... Yes, you do it yourself again. β
"How many times have you said that? Do not rub your hands, crimson clouds, or beat. β
"When talking to guests, you must not speak rudely, let alone be frivolous and stupid, and make people laugh at ......"
"When pouring tea, you should pull your sleeves and raise your elbows, and show your wrists inadvertently, and the movements must be light and soft, like this...... If you can't do it, you would rather not do it than show a stiff and deliberate attitude, and when serving tea, you should hold three fingers flat and set aside two fingers as decoration......"
Shen Yuan taught very carefully, just because she was a famous Lengxiang Pavilion Oiran in Mojing, and the people she taught could not have any imperfections. For her, the clouds are like a piece of jade that she has carefully carved, and one moment is sure to shine brightly, adding a strong touch to her story.
On the fourth day, he came to Syracuse once and sent Shen Yuan some newly made incense from the shop. Shen Yuan saw him in the small hall on the second floor, and let him take a look at Caiyun across a corridor. (*11.30 Nov 5)
"How?" Shen Yuan waved his hand, motioned for everyone else to go down, and asked Snow City.
"He looks good, and his demeanor is reasonable. She seems to be afraid of you, though," Syracuse hesitated, "but not out of compulsion, but rather for fear of being given up by you, and losing something as a result." He looked at Shen Yuan's eyes full of worry, "Sister Yuan, what did you promise her?" I'm afraidβ"
"Nope." Shen Yuan blocked the words behind Snow City, and looked indifferent in front of him slightly, "I can see that she wants to be attached to me, and I have also probed many times to confirm that she is not a person with evil intentions, so I want to accept her and give it a try, if it happens, it will also be regarded as a lot of help to Leng Xiang Pavilion." β
Syracuse breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing more about it.
On the ninth day in the blink of an eye, Shen Yuan taught an additional content: the incense ceremony.
"Tomorrow, you follow me to the Changsheng Guan Jinxiang outside the city," it was easy to teach a set of etiquette, Shen Yuan leaned on the beauty couch, holding a cup of hot tea and instructed Caiyun, "Dress plainly, comb your hair neatly, and do what I teach you when the time comes, don't make mistakes." β
Fortunately, tomorrow is not the day of synodism, and there is no need for three salutes and nine bows. Shen Yuan taught herself to be sore, Caiyun was able to learn something, she really didn't dare to take a full set of gifts, go to the concept of immortality, and investigate how well this girl learned.
"Yes." Caiyun agreed, bowed dignifiedly, bent his knees and straightened his back, and there was nothing wrong with it. Shen Yuan was satisfied, knowing that she was intentionally performing, and gave a look of approval as encouragement.
On this day, Shen Yuan instructed the backyard as usual, one should avoid meat and greasy food, and boil enough hot water, and let Scarlet Moon tell Caiyun to bathe in lavender clothes, meditate and cultivate himself, rest early, and set off early tomorrow morning.
The water that Shen Yuan bathed in was different from the past, it was made of mugwort leaves, chrysanthemums, frost mulberry leaves and wood incense, dispelling evil spirits and relieving muscles and blood. She soaked herself in the tub and let out the fatigue and fatigue of the long day. It has been a few days since she bathed in the new fashionable fragrant bath beans, and she always felt that she didn't need incense, and she also had a sweet fragrance on her body.
The incense medicine shop that sells fragrant bath beans, the owner and his wife are more than eighty years old, the same fat and white, and they will smile and say that they are all using their own carefully developed "secret fragrant bath beans" with a variety of medicinal materials, and the skin will be so good.
I should really thank the old lady Mo for leaving this salt business...... From the fragrant bath beans to the consumption of clothes on weekdays, Shen Yuan's feelings for several salt villages in his hands were much deeper.
Since Shen Yuan was seventeen years old, the pavilion master often said that he was dizzy, his waist hurt and his legs hurt, so he directly asked Shui Zhi to carry the account book to her room, put it down and leave. During the Chinese New Year last year, the pavilion owner stuffed her with a smile and gave her a purse, and when she opened it, there were land deeds of four salt estates. Shen Yuan recognized that they were all extremely easy to manage, and the people in Zhuangzi were also clean, and there were no entanglements.
Shen Yuan understood Mo Yuan's intentions. Her adoptive mother has a thin relationship in this life, and she has not been able to leave her own flesh and blood, she only treats her as her own daughter, and everything in the Moyu family will be delivered in the future. She went to the Taoist temple to make incense, in addition to being a habit, but also to thank her ancestors and gods for their protection, so that she could escape the catastrophe, meet A-Niang to take her in and raise her, and grow up safely.
Impressive, sunset in the west.
On the second day, before the fifth watch, the group got up early, simply had breakfast, and took a car to the northern suburbs of the city. Shen Yuan got into the car first and sat in the middle, motioned for Caiyun to follow, and sat beside him. Scarlet Cloud and Scarlet Moon each carried baskets and cloth bags, and sat on both sides.
Outside, it was just dawn, and the sun had not yet risen, and the air was a little damp. As soon as she drove out of the front street, Scarlet Moon lifted a little curtain and tried it, there was a small rain in the sky, she hurriedly poked her head out to take a closer look, although the sky was dark, but there were no dark clouds, not a sign of heavy rain.
"I shouldn't be able to get down, but we have umbrellas, so don't be afraid." Scarlet Moon put down the curtain, turned her face and sat down, just glad and sad again, "It's just that if this rain keeps drifting, when we arrive, I'm afraid the mountain will be slippery, and it will be very difficult to walk." β
Shen Yuan had been closing his eyes before, and when he heard Scarlet Moon speak, he opened his eyes and looked at her, then closed his eyes again and said, "The road is slippery, it's better to walk slowly." After speaking, he said no more, but sat intently, his back was very straight, and he pressed against the back wall of the carriage, and she was not seen swaying from side to side as the carriage moved. Caiyun sat beside her, and her body was a little rickety, but when she saw her like this, she couldn't help but sit upright.
It's magical. It was very comfortable to sit bent over at first, but after sitting for a long time, my waist and limbs were sore, and I sat up straight and gently pressed against the back wall of the carriage, so that the whole muscles and bones were stretched, and the sleepiness of getting up early was much lighter.
When I first came out of the city gate, there were still few pedestrians on the road, and when I arrived near the bottom of the mountain, it was already bustling. Sure enough, as Scarlet Moon said, the ground was slightly wet, and the road up the mountain was also a little slippery. Fortunately, the light rain has stopped, so there is no need to hold an umbrella to occupy a hand. Caiyun supported Shen Yuan in front, the two maids each carried something, hugged each other and followed behind, and the group carefully stepped on the steps and slowly went up the mountain.
The Jade Defect Mountain is not high, and the Immortal Temple is built in the middle of the mountain, slightly above the position, and enshrines the Emperor Sanguan. There were already a lot of people in front of the mountain gate hall, and most of them arrived at the time of the worship. When he was about to enter the mountain gate, Shen Yuan glanced back without warning, and a red flying glow was rising in the sky, and half of the sky was brilliant and dazzling.
