Chapter 66: Closing the House
Chapter 66 Closing the House
When Aoki bought back a basket of petals, I asked Moxi and Qinghe to start preparing tools for me, I didn't ask him how to buy this flower, just buy it for me.
A small charcoal stove, silver bowls, silver plates, as well as reed rods that can be ventilated and clean gourd bottles, etc., except that Mo Xi has become accustomed to it, the sister and brother are dumbfounded and look at me, no wonder, I want to make distilled water, this modern thing will only have, they feel curious, if they are not curious, but I should feel strange.
I started to work, not letting anyone interfere, thinking in my head, planning, the four of them did not speak, quietly around the stove, although it was autumn, but so around the stove, it still made people have a thin layer of sweat, only knew that someone next to me handed me a handkerchief, did not look, took it and greeted his face, did not want this fat powder to taste, some are different from usual.
I realized that something was not quite right, so I turned around, but I didn't want Qinghe to squat next to me anymore, and looked in the opposite direction, Mo Xi was still staring at the distilled water that was slowly flowing out of the reed stalk, and didn't feel my abnormality.
His face turned red, he stuffed the handkerchief into Qing He's hand, and whispered, "Thank you, no need." ”
"Does Childe dislike slaves and maids?" She was smiling, but when she heard me say this, she looked at the handkerchief in her hand, held her mouth, and was about to cry, and the sound of this was muffled by the sound of boiling water, and did not attract the attention of the other two people.
"What are you thinking? You are a girl who has not left the cabinet, how can this handkerchief be messed up with people. I hurriedly explained.
I used to only think that Bai Zhi was a girl who loved to cry, but I didn't want Qinghe to be, I really responded to that sentence, a woman made of water, she cried at every turn, which made me often feel that I had done something heinous and bad.
"Xianggong, isn't this okay?" I was staring at Qinghe and didn't know what to do, and Mo Xi's voice sounded appropriately.
I hurriedly turned to look at the boiling jasmine water on the stove, stopped looking at her, and replied in a somewhat panicked manner, "Huh? Well, yes, yes, it seems to be okay. "This look, don't mention it, it's like being caught cheating.
She didn't look at me as she spoke, her eyes were still locked on the water, and she beckoned to Aoki, "What do you mean?" Come, come, Aoki, go and bring the gourd, and I'll pour this water into it. ”
"Yes, ma'am." When Aoki heard the command, he stood up, but he looked at me deeply.
By the way, Aoki's hearing is excellent, and he probably listened to those words just now.
Aoki took the gourd, and the two of them carefully prepared to fill the distilled water, but when they were about to pour it, they were stopped by me, "Wait, there is a layer of essential oil on the water, take a saucer and put it up, this is a good thing." ”
Aoki looked at me suspiciously, then at Moxi, but still stood up, obediently took a silver plate, and took a very small spoon.
The purpose of using silver utensils is to prevent things from being poisonous, and they can be detected early, otherwise they are all cosmetics for smearing, in case they are poisonous and disfigured, let alone making money, and I can't afford to lose my money.
I used a spoon to puff the distilled water in the bowl, and after a while, a thin layer of oil accumulated on the side of the bowl, dipped a little on my hands, handed it to them to sniff, and said proudly, "How about it, it's fragrant, isn't it more fragrant than flowers." ”
"This smell is the fragrance of jasmine, but it is dozens of times stronger." Qing He was no longer as pitiful as he was just now, so he opened his mouth first, praised him, and then gave me a look that made me a little puzzled.
When I was stunned, Aoki asked me, "Childe, what is this?" ”
"Well, essential oils are the good stuff condensed from this flower." Some explained to him casually.
"Essential oils? Is there any difference with the rapeseed oil we usually eat? He scratched his head and asked with some wrypness.
Rapeseed oil...... It was a shame that he came up with the idea of who smeared rapeseed oil on his face. However, this kid likes to scratch his hair whenever he encounters uncertain things, which is not a good habit.
I glanced at him, a little angry, "Ahem, the principle is similar, but vegetable oil is eaten, and this is used." ”
"Oh, how?" really broke the casserole and asked to the end, I really didn't bother to pay attention to him.
I waved my hand, "Ask Madame, you can put these things up first." After speaking, he stood up, this fiercely, he was still a little dizzy, he almost didn't stand firmly, he stumbled, and was pulled by Qinghe to stand still.
I carefully removed Qing He's hand that was holding my arm, took a few steps back, and said after some distance from her, "Thank you." ”
She didn't speak, she didn't look at me, she just kept the same position she had just been, looking down at the ground, I didn't know her expression, and I didn't want to know.
In the past few days, she has been getting better and better to me, and some have crossed the boundary of repaying gratitude, which makes me afraid for a while, isn't this girl like me? But I ......
"I don't dare to ask Madame, Childe, you should tell me about it." Packed with the water and essential oils, Aoki jumped up to me and whispered in my ear.
I laughed, is Moxi very strict? "Madame is not a tiger, what are you afraid of."
"Childe, it's hard to raise women and villains." He sniffed, hesitating.
I slapped off the paw he put on my shoulder, "Oh~ You actually compare Mrs. to a villain, aren't you afraid that I will sue?" ”
"Huh? Son...... I'm just joking. "He was startled by me, jumped a long distance, and hurried to me, looking at me with supplicating eyes.
This appearance is not like Ziqing, but a bit of Chu Lige's shadow.
Bah, what do I think Chu Lige, he has nothing to do with me, he just gave me a bracelet, often changes the way to say that I am not good, and steals my snacks to eat, his mouth is very poisonous, I think he is really dead.
Flicked Aoki with his finger a chestnut, then ignored him, walked up to Mo Xi, and asked, "How is this time compared to before?" ”
"It's much more mellow than it used to be. It should be because the petals are full of juice. She smiled at me and shook the gourd in her hand.
I nodded, took the gourd from Mo Xi's hand, and put it on the table. took her hand and was about to walk towards the wing, passing by Qinghe's side, he obviously saw her body shaken.
"Xianggong, where are you going? What should you do if you haven't said this thing yet? Mo Xi was dragged by me, a little confused.
"Give it to Qinghe, Aoki, you will send these things to your sister's room later, and come to my study in the afternoon to get the usage, and before that, don't disturb me and my wife." As I commanded, I pulled Mo Xi out.
Aoki was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded, "Don't worry, Childe, the little one knows." ”
I didn't go to see Qinghe again, Moxi was dragged by me and trotted all the way, and he didn't speak.
When I got to the wing, I was relieved to close the door tightly. Mo Xi panted, sat at the table with me, and asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”
"Don't you think there's something wrong with Qinghe?" I asked tentatively.
"No, what's wrong? Didn't you say she was kind and simple? Mo Xi rubbed his eyes and looked at me with his cheeks propped up.
This answer really made me feel a little weak, "Uh, no, didn't you notice that she was very good to me?" ”
"Shouldn't it? You are her benefactor, and it is right to be good to you. This will make Mo Xi even more puzzled, is it good or wrong to be good to people?
Emotional intelligence! Sure enough, the emotional intelligence of this ancient man is too low, although I am not much better......
"You! You! Don't you see that she likes me? "I pointed to Moxi, I looked like I hated iron but not steel, if there was a big mirror, I should be able to see how angry I was.
It will be Mo Xi's turn to be dumbfounded, she opened her mouth in surprise, and then said slowly, "No, Xianggong, you are a woman, she she...... She can't. ”
"Why did I find out that you were stupid at the critical moment......" Hearing her words, I didn't know how to say it anymore, and sat down on the stool in a dejected manner, "Only you know my true identity, and the two of them don't know." ”
"yes, I forgot." She pursed her lips and looked at me with some schadenfreude and smiled, "Otherwise, you can take her in, I don't mind having another sister." ”
"I&%$#......" I had never wanted to explode like this once, I glared at Mo Xi fiercely and yelled, "You took the wrong medicine!" ”
"Hey, don't be angry, don't be angry. Xianggong, he is angry. Seeing that I was so angry, she stopped teasing me, and quickly patted me on the back and comforted, but the next sentence made me want to strangle myself, "Xianggong, what does it mean to take the wrong medicine?" I'm not sick. ”
In a situation where I'm so serious and so angry, Moxi, you have to be so ...... Is that really good? It really made me want to cry without tears.
"Seriously, what should I do, if I guess wrong, it's fine, what if it's true, what if a woman's heart is wrong?" I just feel that I have a headache at the moment, "I can't tell her that I'm a woman, how can I make her retreat?" ”
Mo Xi thought for a moment before he spoke, "Do you want me to try her idea first?" ”
"How do you try this?" When she said that, it made me wonder a little.
She smiled meaningfully and patted me on the shoulder, looking like a good brother, "Don't worry, of course you can try, wait until I figure it out, maybe you think too much." ”
"No way, I'm so handsome and chic, it's normal for her to like me!" I don't like to hear this, how can I think too much, that girl Qinghe, obviously ...... me
When she heard me say this, she immediately withdrew her hand and laughed, "Hahahaha, don't make trouble, who would like a little white face." ”
……
……
"Little... What's wrong with the little white face, it's very popular! "Although I am unwilling, I really don't have the confidence to say this.
"Yes, yes, the little white face of the Pity House is still quite popular." She looked at me with another look that I understood.
"You're looking for a fight." I immediately stood up and threatened to hit her.
The House of Mercy...... This girl is getting more and more unruly, and she laughs at me with this stalk.
I remember that not long after leaving the palace, we stopped in a county town, and went out with her and Bai Zhi in the evening evening, and met a Xiaoxiang Pavilion, those buildings were full of fine skin and tender meat, I didn't understand, I was ready to go in with a mind, but I didn't want to be stopped at the door, saying that women in the land of fireworks could not enter, which made me embarrassed for a long time. Since I pretended to be a man, Mo Xi has to say it every three or five times.
