Chapter 18: Yu Elang (II)

Shen Yuan snorted, raised his hand and knocked on the door of Scarlet Yue's head: "What are you thinking, what kind of thing?" When Scarlet Cloud comes back, you ask her to tell you all about the situation outside, carefully and without landing, and you may be able to figure it out yourself. ”

"Whoa...... Miss, it hurts. "Scarlet Moon has been with her for a long time, you can talk and laugh with her calmly, raise the back of your hand and cover your head and pretend to be in pain.

Shen Yuan ignored her hypocrisy, and just stretched out his hand generously: "Oh, it's here, do you want to call back?" ”

Scarlet Moon immediately bent down and held it with both hands, lightly opened the balm, and rubbed it in circles on the back of her hand: "That's not possible, Miss's hands are so good-looking, it's worth it to be knocked." ”

It was a homely gossip and laughter, but her young lady actually snorted, and a thick sneer appeared in her eyebrows: "Is it good-looking?" I'm afraid it's not as good as our top lady, the fingertips move, the strings ring, and the light and slow twist is called a good scene. ”

"Miss?" Scarlet Moon was stunned, not understanding what she was talking about.

"I'm talking nonsense, don't pay attention to me." Shen Yuan smiled and revealed.

Scarlet Cloud came back in time, closed the door and offered soothing incense first, and then entered the inner room and began to make the bed and spread the quilt, Shen Yuan mentioned her and sprinkled some mint leaves into the smoker. Scarlet Cloud hurriedly responded, put down the half-spread thin quilt in his hand, turned to the dressing table, and looked for the box containing mint leaves, but he didn't see Shen Yuan behind him backhanding the back of Scarlet Yue's hand, and glanced at this side with an eyebrow.

Scarlet Moon was confused at first, and when she saw Scarlet Cloud with her eyes, she immediately realized that she almost couldn't hold back her laughter, she hurriedly suppressed her smile and cleared her throat, and asked Scarlet Cloud seriously: "Scarlet Cloud, what did you see outside?" Tell me about it, too. ”

"Huh? You mean, the first card? Scarlet Cloud thought about the mint leaf in her heart, and couldn't hear it clearly, holding the small box as she spoke, "It's not going to be fun, when I come back, she doesn't play the piano or sing anymore." Oh! By the way—" she sprinkled the mint leaves, and reached out to put back the openwork lid of the little brass stove, "the two guests were gone, and the other was still talking to her. ”

"Still in the small hall?" Shen Yuan asked.

"yes."

Scarlet Cloud finished the work of aromatherapy, came back and continued to make the bed, in the summer heat, Shen Yuan's room should be bedding with silk, under the pressure of a thin bamboo mat, spread on the soft mattress, sleep very comfortable.

Strands of mint-flavored soothing incense wafted out of the begonia branches and leaves, swirled into the air, and disappeared silently. There is a small yellow pear Xiaoice with a low pier in the room, and once the cold air and incense are blended, the cool smell spreads out, and it is going to penetrate people's hearts.

Scarlet Moon moistened Shen Yuan's hands, got up to help Scarlet Cloud clean up the mattress, folded the clothes that she had changed during the day, and waited to be carried to the backyard to wash. Shen Yuan leaned on the large pillow of weaving flowers, sniffed the fragrance and closed his eyes to recuperate, and spoke again coldly.

"When you saw it before, did you ask me how she went out to meet guests? And how do you sing it? Are those two regulars? ”

The two maids were stunned, Shaoqing reacted, Scarlet Moon touched Scarlet Cloud's arm, Scarlet Cloud was too busy to respond, tilted his head and thought about it carefully, and then replied: "How to sing, I really don't know this, I saw Mrs. with such a bad face, and kept staring at the top card, and I thought it was that person who caused trouble again." I quietly pulled someone to ask, and it was a coincidence, the little girl went to invite her, saying that there were two new guests and they wanted to see her, so she went happily. ”

Scarlet Moon listened to it, and I didn't know if it was the key to it, so she opened her mouth and said, "Happy?" Her expression was a little surprised, which made Scarlet Cloud look inexplicable, and replied blankly: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"I can't say it, I just think it's weird......" Scarlet Moon hesitated, looking at Scarlet Cloud uncertainly, and then at Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan glanced back at her encouragingly: "Say it boldly, what do you think is weird?" ”

"Yes......" Scarlet Yue responded, finished the bedding and went to get the sewing basket again, and organized the language by the way, Scarlet Yun hugged the clothes and wanted to go out to wash, but was stopped by Shen Yuan, saying that he was not in a hurry first, and after listening to the long insight, it was not too late to go again.

So Scarlet Moon sat on the other side of the soft couch, Scarlet Cloud was helping to sort out the silk thread, Shen Yuan was still leaning on the pillow, holding a volume of "Zhou Yi" in his hand, and he had just opened only two pages.

"Listen to the slave, the top card is that as soon as she heard that there was a guest, she 'happily' went to meet him, and the guest was new, so it was not a common regular customer. How can I say this, Miss Guanying is also a top lady, and if a guest wants to see her, she should always be invited, even if it is for a show? ”

Scarlet Yue said what she thought, and she was worried that she would make a mistake, but seeing Shen Yuan's face with approval, she continued as if she was greatly encouraged: "I was not a girl who had no face before, but she was a little reserved. The first card is like this, it gives people a feeling, a feeling...... It feels like I'm catching up with a solicitor. The last sentence was hard to speak, and Scarlet Moon finally finished speaking, and she blushed first.

Shen Yuan clasped the scroll upside down: "Yes, she draws like this, but she can be favored overnight, but she loses her dignity, and it will be difficult to hold it up again in the future." She doesn't care about any of them, and the entire Leng Xiang Pavilion will be laughed at, and the top brand is still like this, so you can imagine what other people are like. ”

"Oh......" Scarlet Cloud suddenly realized, "No wonder Madam is angry, this girl who watches the warbler has made everyone miserable." ”

Shen Yuan said indifferently: "The matter is not over yet, and it may not be so bad, Leng Xiangge has also been in the Fragrance Pavilion for many years, and she alone is not bad, it is just rumors, and it will inevitably be spread for a while." ”

Her fingers tapped lightly on the scroll, her nails were polished and polished, unpainted, and the nail beds were faintly powdered. The rhythm of the percussion, though undisciplined, is not hasty or impatient, as if trying to suppress it. The owner of the finger closed his eyes again at some point, tilted his face slightly, and his breath was almost imperceptible, if it were not for the movement of his fingers, the whole person would be no different from falling asleep.

Scarlet Cloud said with relief: "Miss, let's relax first, there is a lady in everything." The slave maid went to deliver the clothes first, so that she could see if there was anything new for the young lady. ”

Shen Yuan didn't speak, waved his finger to give permission, and Scarlet Cloud hugged his clothes and walked away softly. The door opened and closed, and I didn't hear any movement outside, Scarlet Moon took a special look, the light was still bright, and the hour was still early.

I'm afraid it's ...... The top lady got her wish. Scarlet Moon shook her head, put a few strands of silk thread through the eye of the needle, tightened the embroidery, and continued to embroider a half-embroidered white crane. The silk thread is soft, flashing a little bright halo against the candlelight, and the stabbing lines seem to be covered with a layer of silver light, which looks so tight.
