Chapter 338: Meeting the Old Friend
Just when Qin Yao was changing clothes and resting, no one was paying attention, and another sound of talking came from another direction, although the sound was not loud, but it could still be heard if you listened carefully.
Qin Yao listened carefully, there was indeed a voice, the voice of the voice was the voice of the female dependent, listening to the tone, it was definitely not the "service staff" of this soup spring.
"What's on the other side? Where? Is it also such a wing? Qin Yao asked.
The little maid who had been walking behind saluted Qin Yao and replied: "Today is the second prince's mansion, it is said that the second princess and concubine you come to bathe, this side has been rearranged, on the other side of the wooden door is a small corridor, there is a lounge on each side, people can wash their hands and do massages here, at the end of the corridor is a carved wooden door, and the wooden door is the place to soak in the soup." ”
"Then I heard someone talking over there, and I think it's the same person who came to the soup today, right?" Qin Yao asked again.
"That's okay, although there are other distinguished guests in the resting place here, but the place where you soak in the soup has been cleaned up, the second princess, you must be in the soup alone, and no one will collide."
Saying this, Steward Wu's lady brought over the bamboo leaf tea that Min'er had just brewed, and let Qin Yao take a few sips, Su He came over with a comb, and dredged Qin Yao's hair into a braid and coiled it on her head.
Everything was ready, and the little maid led Qin Yao to the depths of the house, there was a small door inside, and after pushing it open, it was the place to soak in the soup.
It is a large, airtight bath with a circular wall, all made of stone, and there are many slender hollows carved into the stone on the inside of the walls, and the hot water flows down these hollows into small stone sinks, and from the bottom of these small stone sinks there are chiseled low stone troughs, and the water flows down the water, and finally collects into a concave pool in the middle of the ground.
The pool is surrounded by marble-surfaced and about half a meter deep, and a pair of holes in the stone have been carved into the ground around the pool, and steam rises from under the holes, filling the room with heat. There is also a small stone bench without a backrest along the corner of the wall, which is supposed to be used for rubbing, and bathers can sit there and massage their bodies, and the whole bathroom is carved with various intricate patterns, and there is a strong exotic atmosphere everywhere.
Seriously, compared to this, Qin Yao really didn't have the slightest regret about his big wooden barrel (bathtub) and missed how much space the wooden barrel was, this was simply a palace!
That's what a bath is!
Steward Wu's lady took advantage of Su He's change of clothes and combed her hair for the second princess Qin Yao, and took Min'er to take out the freshly picked mint leaves that had been rinsed with water. Because I don't know the actual bathing situation here, Steward Wu's wife only brought a smaller basket with mint leaves, if you know that the formation here is so atmospheric, it is enough to plant all the mint in the house.
It's still sloppy, and the insight is not far-reaching enough.
Qin Yao changed her clothes, in fact, there is nothing to change, she knows how many clothes you can wear in the bath, naturally you don't wear much, and her hair is braided beautifully, the two little maids are much sharper than Su He and Min'er's movements, take the small bamboo basket full of mint leaves, clean it up, first take out half of the mint leaves in the basket, sprinkle it, soak it in the hot water, and soon a warm and hot air with the aroma of mint rises in the room.
The smell is refreshing, and the fragrance of mint is intertwined with the unique warm smell of hot water, and the heat that rises from the steam vents fills the room.
Soon the fragrance filled the room and slowly drifted out......
Qin Yao is already very accustomed to this taste, really, the more you smell this mint taste, the more comfortable it becomes, at first I felt that it was rushing to my nose, but after a long time, I liked it. This feeling is similar to incense, scented therapy, which can be very relaxing for people's nerves.
No matter what, with such a good bath time, Qin Yao has to hurry up and enjoy life.
Entering the water, the water temperature was a little hot, and the little maid noticed Qin Yao's facial expression and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry about the second princess, the water temperature is adjusted at the beginning, and when you soak in it and get used to it, there will naturally be hot water to replenish it, which can ensure that the water temperature is always stable and keep you warm and warm." ”
Qin Yao originally wanted to perform a water entry action in the style of Yang Guifei bathing, but the actual effect of the behavior was that because the water temperature was still a little hot, Qin Yao was more like being helped by two little maids to pour into the water, and the soles of her feet slipped and went in.
The water temperature is not very hot, it is very comfortable after getting used to it, and this is much more spacious than the big bathtub, Qin Yao was lying on the edge of the pool, and the little maid also laid a mat for Qin Yao by the pool, so that she would not burp her arms.
Steward Wu's lady has nothing to do with Su He and Min'er, there are two little maids who are in charge of serving Qin Yao in the soup, and the three of them simply found a place that is not in the way, sit and rest, warm steam and mint aroma, this will be very pleasant.
Just as Qin Yao was drowsy, a choked woman's screaming voice woke Qin Yao up.
At this moment, in the direction where the voice of the female dependant was heard just now, a great movement of a young woman's speech came.
"Fart, it's the same as spending money, it's all high-ranking officials and nobles, it's all a face-saving person in the imperial city! What people are inside! What's the matter. How expensive incense, you can't afford to spend money on it? Go away! I don't believe it, what a great person, what kind of thing I can't afford! ”
There was a chattering voice behind her, and it was probably someone who was persuading the woman who was scolding loudly......
The woman's tone of voice was very brutal and fierce, and she was a person who was used to sprinkling when she heard it, probably because the sound insulation of the house with stone walls was still good, although she could hear her clearly, but the speaker's voice sounded a little buzzy.
Steward Wu's wife frowned, what kind of person would dare to be so sloppy in a place like Xiaotangquan, it is really unruly, no matter how big the face is, no matter how high the official position, no family can have such a broken female dependent.
Su He leaned against the wall closer, this voice, Su He felt a little familiar when he heard it, this tone and pitch, how can it be a little familiar. Su He stood up, walked to the door of the house and listened carefully against the wall, the more he listened, the more familiar he felt, and suddenly, a possibility flashed in Su He's mind......
"Miss, miss, did you hear that fierce woman outside?" Su He turned around and shouted loudly to Qin Yao.
Qin Yao nodded: "Your young lady, I'm not deaf, I heard it, what's wrong?" He didn't scold us, just listen and watch the excitement. ”
"Miss, I feel that she is scolding you, she is babbling about what incense is behind her, saying that it is hindering her nose, she is next door to us, who else can you smell incense? Isn't that you? ”
"Let's just not hear it." Qin Yao didn't care, what's the matter, you can't lift me out of the water.
"Miss, that's Miss Qin Fu's voice, probably you two sisters are going to meet frankly in this bathhouse." Su He said with a sad face.
