Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tea (I)
So Shen Yuan knew that he didn't think about eating and drinking for three or two days in a row, and every time he passed the food, he sent it back almost as it was, and she didn't allow her maid to touch it a little, but it made the people in the kitchen happy. A few little girls who watch the fire and boil water on weekdays said that it is strange to ask for water in the first card house, and they are not allowed to go in, so they can only be sent to the door, so that her maid can go in alone and go in, which is also strange and tiring.
Shen Yuan had already heard about the fact that Guanying was lazy and neglected his piano skills, causing the guests to leave one after another. After thinking about everything she saw and heard later, she knew that it was not the piano skills, but the hand of the lady who was afraid of it.
From the perspective of the little pavilion master, she also wanted to take care of it properly, but she didn't want the pavilion master to know for the time being. Shen Yuan doesn't like to watch the warbler, but he doesn't bother to do anything to add fuel and vinegar, if he makes a mistake and gets injured, it's just that, if the pavilion master knows about it, find out something, and the warbler is afraid that he will have to learn a lesson.
Anyway, now on the bright side, Guanying is also the face of a cold incense pavilion, so try to keep it as much as possible.
However, after the rainy day, Shen Yuan was sleepy and sleepy again, always shouting that he couldn't sleep enough in the morning, and he couldn't hold it until noon, and then naturally he didn't have the energy to cook, and he didn't have the energy to continue to visit in the next few days. Until yesterday evening, when the weather was cooler, she admired the lotus flowers in the front yard, and heard about the day when the flowers bloomed.
"Scarlet Moon, I'm sleepy, I want to go back to sleep, you remember to tell Scarlet Cloud that tomorrow I will make lotus porridge and ask the kitchen to soak barley and glutinous rice. Early tomorrow morning, the two of you will come early to pick these two lotus flowers, as well as fresh petals and stamens, and you must pick them one by one, and you are not allowed to pinch them back whole. ”
"Yes. But it's still so early, isn't the lady going to dinner? Isn't it uncomfortable? ”
"No, I'm just tired of standing, let's pass some dinner casually, if I wait a long time, I'll sleep."
Of course, Scarlet Moon didn't dare to ask her to sleep on an empty stomach, as soon as she stepped into the door, she immediately picked up Scarlet Cloud, went to the backyard to pass dinner and hot water, served Shen Yuan to change clothes and comb her hair, waited for her to eat and wash, lay down on the bed to rest, and then pulled Scarlet Cloud out and said everything she had instructed before.
Sleeping so early the day before, Shen Yuan's spirit was good, and when he was invited by Shui Zhi to talk in the Moyu Mandarin House, he was quite interested. Mo Yuyuan's face was not good, and she was relieved when she came.
"Madame...... Whoa! Scared me, what's going on. Shen Yuan had only taken two steps into the door, and when he saw Mo Yuyuan about to talk to her, he was startled when he opened his mouth.
Guan Ying knelt impartially behind hanging the curtain in the inner room, but the color of the clothes she was wearing was a bit similar to the curtain, and she was half blocked, Shen Yuan really didn't pay attention to it, and she didn't expect her to be there, and almost bumped into it.
"It's not in shape, come and sit." Mo Yuyuan looked at Shen Yuan covering his heart and frowning his eyebrows and pretending to be weak, scolded her, and beckoned her to sit on the couch together.
Shen Yuan sat down in the past, and saw clearly that the warbler was wearing loose hair, plain face, and her face was quite haggard. The atmosphere in the room was very oppressive, very different from usual, and people like her felt uncomfortable.
Guan Ying's hand was covered by the sleeve, Shen Yuan couldn't see clearly, he could only see a few red and bright nails, the roots of the nails had begun to fade, and there was no redyeing. Is it about being frustrated for days and having no intention of dressing up? Shen Yuan speculated.
Mo Yuyuan had no way of knowing Shen Yuan's thoughts, so she asked her to have useful intentions, so she didn't rush to speak first, and handed her a cup of tea first. Shui Zhi had already been instructed, stepped forward and pulled up Guan Ying's left wrist, and lifted its cuffs, revealing the layers of white cloth wrapped around the palm. Shen Yuan smiled knowing this, took the black glaze oil drip cup and drank it calmly, but he didn't see Shui Zhi's movements. The tea is fragrant and the soup is rich and mellow, which is the craft of her adoptive mother.
Mo Yu Mandarin also held the tea cup herself, and the scene seemed to return to Qi Feng, in the old house of Mo Yu's family, the mother and daughter sat opposite each other to eat tea. Since coming to Mojing, the world is prevalent in the way of decoction, and it is rare to see the method of beating, Shen Yuan himself is lazy, but he has almost forgotten the taste of this eight-treasure tea.
Shuizhi is also a patient and has always firmly held the wrist of the warbler. After eating a cup of tea, Shen Yuan pursed the corners of his lips and pretended to joke: "Madam, when did our family eat tea?" ”
"You still remember the rules of eating tea." Mo Yu Mandarin also put the tea cup, but seemed to look left and right and said to him, "You didn't hurt your hand, why haven't you made your own tea for many years." ”
Shen Yuan half-lowered his eyes and snorted lightly, stretched out his left hand and tapped his right wrist with two fingers: "Isn't it accurate, will Madam make tea herself?" Besides, if I hurt my hand, I will immediately tell my wife to know about it, so that she may take pity on me and make me tea every day. ”
The two of them did not sum up in advance, and at this moment they directly tacitly agreed, singing and harmonizing. Shen Yuanxu sympathized with Shui Zhi all the time, his hands and feet were sour, and he directly pulled the conversation back to the side of the topic, and glanced at Shui Zhi with his residual light. Mo Yuyuan understood and made a gesture to bluff her: "You are clever, in order to avoid laziness, you can even come up with such an idea." You should learn how to watch the warbler, but she also hurt her hand, and her idea is much more cost-effective than yours. ”
Guan Ying's body trembled obviously, and Shui Zhi immediately reached out and held her down. Shen Yuan flattened his hand and didn't speak, and Mo Yuan continued: "Hurt a palm, in exchange for a lifetime of wealth, tell me, is this the best idea?" ”
"Huh? Have it? Shen Yuan's reaction was half-true, she only knew that Guanying might have injured her hand, but she didn't know the inside story. Rich for a lifetime? Sounds like a warbler...... It seems that the pavilion master has asked about the so-called inside story and specially called himself to come, just to show her such a good show.
It's okay to watch the warbler and learn some lessons. What's more, there is this good tea, this trip is not a loss.
Shen Yuan turned his face sideways and smiled gently and amiably at Guanying: "Yo, listen to this, Sister Guanying has a good place, which son's son is going to be taken away?" That's really congratulations, according to it, I should also add some makeup, and I'll send someone to send it to you later. ”
"You!" The warbler raised his head suddenly, but he didn't dare to attack because of the presence of the pavilion master. Shen Yuan's words were full of sarcasm, how could Guan Ying not be able to hear it. A good place to go? It's a good place to go, laughing at her for stealing chickens doesn't make it a counter-erosion, and it's worth such a big formation!
"How am I?" Shen Yuan asked knowingly.
Guan Yinggan's eyes were dry, her lips were pursed very thin, and it was not difficult to imagine the ruthlessness of the clenched teeth inside. Mo Yuyuan looked at her and shook her head again and again: "Guanying, this morning the doctor went to treat you, you are like this, you are like this, you almost lost the face of Leng Xiangge." If Shui Zhi hadn't drunk you personally, would you have to cut other people's hands? ”
