Chapter 12: Forget Your Worries
"Oh, it's his own daughter left and right, it has nothing to do with us, Mrs. Liu has a lot of doors, I hope I can sell a good family." Lo and behold, the acacia flowers are blooming again. Is it good-looking? As he spoke, without any turning point, Shen Yuan jumped away from the conversation. Scarlet Moon was standing beside her and playing a fan, and when she heard the words, she was obviously stunned, as if she was puzzled.
"It's good-looking......" Scarlet Moon was stunned for a moment, followed Shen Yuan's gaze, and hesitated to answer a good look. In her impression, her young lady rarely asked about the acacia in the front yard, and occasionally looked away when she saw it. In the first year of blooming, she and Scarlet Cloud tentatively asked if they wanted to pick a few bunches to enjoy, but they were also stared back with a cold look.
Shen Yuan asked again: "How does it compare to the begonias in the back garden?" Seeing Scarlet Yue's entangled expression, she added: "You just have to say, what you think, there is no right or wrong." ”
"Oh, yes." Scarlet Moon got the words, tilted her head slightly, and began to think seriously: "Begonia in the back garden? It was when the young lady was fourteen years old, and Mrs. specially entrusted someone to move it from our hometown, and as soon as the flowers bloomed, the whole garden looked lively and lively, and I was happy to see it! ”
A joyful look appeared on her face along with her thoughts: "When the fruit is born, you can still make candied fruit to eat...... If you want to say that this acacia, it is actually very good-looking, the flowers are soft, like fluff, and the flowers are like the colorful glow in the sky. So, probably, each has its own benefits? ”
"You girl, you can't tell why you are talking nonsense." Shen Yuan snorted lightly, withdrew his gaze, and took another sip of tea before realizing that it was a little cold.
Scarlet Moon had already sensed that something was wrong with Shen Yuan, leaned down closer, and asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong?" Is it uncomfortable? ”
Shen Yuan shook his head: "No." I'm just thinking, this new top lady, this scenery...... How long can it last? Forget it, don't care about her, I'll let Scarlet Cloud go to the kitchen, and say that at noon today, I want to eat soup made of acacia flowers. ”
"But is it delicious?" Scarlet Moon didn't understand what it meant.
"It's done, don't you know?" Shen Yuan's tone was relaxed, and he raised his hand and patted the back of Scarlet Yue's hand, "Just do it, the acacia flower can calm your nerves, remember?" ”
"Yes." Seeing that she insisted, Scarlet Moon also answered and wrote it down.
The kitchen was very attentive, picked fresh acacia flower soup, sent it early, set up a cup of shrimp and tofu soup, a plate of apricot blossom goose breast, a cage of candied date cake, and two kinds of refreshing green vegetables stir-fried, and a plate of soft and smooth brown sugar milk jelly.
Acacia flowers are used in medicine, which can soothe depression and regulate qi, activate and calm the nerves, but people with spleen and stomach deficiency should not eat. Shen Yuan knew this, and Mingxiang also knew it in the past, so he developed a soup recipe. This soup originally had a name, called "Forget Worry Soup", first slice ginger, boil in boiling water, then add washed acacia flowers, red dates, lilies, simmer for half an hour, all rely on the last two flavors of ingredients to hang out the fresh and sweet taste, and use ginger slices to warm and neutralize.
Let him want to shine on the bright moon, and collect his heart from others. Miss Mingxiang planted the acacia, probably with such a state of mind, right? Shen Yuan held on to the spoon and secretly guessed that maybe Mingxiang's so-called missing whereabouts were just staying with the person who could confide in her heart, and she didn't want to be disturbed by the world anymore.
Mingxiang is like this, what should she do herself?
Shen Yuan had never seriously thought about this issue, and he didn't dare to face it. She showed her true face at the age of fourteen and solved the dilemma of Leng Xiang Pavilion, but when she was fifteen years old, she was found by her brother again, saying that it was not creation to make people, who would believe it?
Fortunately, the meals were delicious, and this emotion did not affect much, Shen Yuan broke the puffy cake little by little, and liked to pick the core, sticky and crispy dates to eat. The freshly made tender tofu used in the tofu soup is stewed thickly, the umami comes out of the shrimp, and the milk jelly is also good, sweet and cool, she has tasted two pieces, and even the bowl of ice cream in the afternoon has to be forgotten.
After lunch, the two maids packed up the tableware and food boxes, hugged the quilt and made the couch, and served her to rest and take a nap. Shen Yuan changed his bedclothes, and when he combed his hair, he remembered something, so he instructed: "Wait a minute, prepare the baiji water, and take a nap to nourish your nails." ”
It's Scarlet Cloud who will comb her hair. Scarlet Cloud responded casually, combed her long hair with her hands without interruption, put down the ice curtain, and helped her to lie down on the soft couch to rest.
Shen Yuan's Baiji water is a magic recipe for raising nails, it is not difficult to do, cut a lot of Baiji slices and ginger slices, first put the Baiji slices into the water to soak thoroughly, wait for the water to become viscous, and then put the ginger slices in it, add water to the fire to boil, and then add water when it becomes sticky, and boil it into a thick medicinal juice.
As for the usage, if you are more particular, use a small brush to dip it into your nails, and if you are casual, you can directly reach out your fingers and soak it for a while, and then you don't have to scrub it, just wait for it to dry.
Shen Yuan has never been lazy, unless it is extremely uncomfortable, he will take out half an hour to play the pipa every day. I don't know if it has anything to do with the cold, but the ten nails on her hands are not as good as before, and it hurts when she exerts a little force. She didn't admit it, and looked through the classics to find such a method, but it really worked.
Nail maintenance is a relatively pleasant process, the only imperfection is that Shen Yuan has slept for a long time, and the medicinal juice is a little cold. On the way back from sending Wen Yiwen back to the backyard, Scarlet Cloud bumped into the warbler head-on, and the other party reached out to lift the lid without seeing it, but his hands were burned, and he inevitably had to squeeze a few words.
When Scarlet Cloud talked about this, Shen Yuan was using the summer relief soup, and he didn't even glance at it: "Don't pay attention to her, with such a temperament, we don't need to make a move at all." ”
Scarlet Moon couldn't help but wonder: "The girls in the Leng Xiang Pavilion are the most inconspicuous, and they are all honest and responsible, why is this top lady so outstanding?" If the lady knows, I'm afraid ......"
"I'm afraid that Madame already knew." Shen Yuan suddenly took over, "She is also hot now, so it's not easy to be harsh." Moreover, she has never quarreled with anyone and caused other troubles. ”
What Shen Yuan said was exactly what Mo Yuan was thinking. In fact, a green building, strictly speaking, should only be exclusive to one girl, and the rest of the people are just servants. Guan Ying worked hard to plan for a while, but he never expected that it was the planning that was too deep to attract the comeback of the Oiran, and in the future, whether the two of them would share the spring equally, or whether one person would wither, whether An Zhi would depend on Shen Yuan's thoughts?
Guanying is good at the moon qin, and it is not that she has never heard of the method of raising nails of Bai Qi, and when she smelled it on the road, she already knew it, and she thought about it for a while while while twisting the embroidered silk handkerchief, and always felt unstable. She is a very vigilant person, and will never allow others to threaten her supreme position.
