Chapter 21: Scones

Ruoxue put her hand into the quilt, felt whether it was warm, folded the quilt again, turned to look at Dan Tang and asked, "How many times did you drink water at night, but you ate it again?" ”

"After drinking water three times, I ate half a bowl of porridge at night, which is more than I ate during the day yesterday." Dan Tachibana said.

"Well, you go to sleep, let the peony pomegranate come in and watch." Ruoxue said.

"Yes,"

Dan Tang turned around and went out, and after a while, Peony and Pomegranate walked in with the buttons on their small jackets, "Hello, Miss." The two of them bowed together, and then set out to check the charcoal fire in a few charcoal basins, and buried a few pieces of charcoal in them.

Ruoxue sat on the edge of Ruohong's bed for a while, told the peony two words, and took Lianxin to the Sanqing Hall to offer incense, and did not come back until she listened to the morning class of the Taoist aunts.

Sending Ruoxue out, Pomegranate rubbed her hands and closed the door, squatted on the edge of a charcoal basin and roasted her cold hands hot, "Sister Peony, you call Miss San twice, see if she reacts." ”

"Didn't you shout yesterday, and there was no movement at all!" Peony sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Ruohong, who was slightly pale.

Pomegranate came over and approached, and in Ruohong's ear, her voice was lowered as if she was afraid of frightening her, "Third Miss, Third Miss......" she whispered.

Both of them stared, looking at the expression on Ruohong's face without blinking, waiting for the little face exposed to be able to have different expressions change, even if it was frowning!

However, the peony pomegranate stared at the big eyes, and did not see a trace of change in expression.

"What's going on? It's been so long and you haven't woken up,......" After a while, Pomegranate sat on the stool at the head of the bed and let out a long sigh.

"You're in too much of a hurry."

Peony walked to the side of the table of the Eight Immortals, picked up small scissors, and cut the center of the candle that was too long, the beating candle flame quieted down, and the room was much brighter.

"Isn't the eldest lady in a hurry, what are you anxious about? The third lady slept well, isn't there nothing wrong! What are you anxious about? As she spoke, Peony turned and leaned against the corner of the table, smiling and talking to Pomegranate.

Pomegranate shook her arm and said with some annoyance: "Aren't people afraid that the third lady will sleep stupidly, wouldn't it be better to wake up early?!" ”

She walked to the corner of the bed and the two fell to the side of the box, opened the lid of the cage, reached inside and fumbled inside, and took out a small stone blue cloth bag.

"What are you looking for?" Peony walked over to see what she was doing.

"Eat ......"

Pomegranate placed the cloth bag on the lid of the cage, opened the outer cloth, and opened the two layers of paper inside.

"I thought it was something delicious, but it turned out to be a few cakes." Peony smiled.

"Hmph......" Pomegranate snorted, took out a dry baked cake, and wrapped the rest back into the cage, "Don't look at these two cakes as inconspicuous, this is much better than the steamed bun in the view." ”

After closing the lid of the cage, Pomegranate took the cake she regarded as a treasure, squatted on the edge of the charcoal basin, supported it on the charcoal basin with iron chopsticks with charcoal, and slowly baked the cake on it.

Peony also walked over and squatted down beside her, watching the pomegranate roast the already baked yellow cake, "You were hungry just when you got up." Then he touched her head and said, "Yes, you are growing in size, and you are going to be hungry." ”

She didn't have a brain when she was touched on the head, but begged Peony to comb her bun again, she was a little busy when she first came here in the past two days, and she didn't comb her hair for two or three days.

Peony took out a two-inch mahogany comb from her arms, Pomegranate stretched out her two hands, pulled the little vulture with one hand and put it under her buttocks, and pulled a taller stool for Peony to sit on with the other hand.

Peony sat on the stool, and Pomegranate sat on the little vulture, so that it was just convenient for Peony to comb her hair in a bun and not delay turning over her baked cakes.

"I'll wash your hair at night, if you don't wash it, you won't be able to comb it!" Peony untied her bun, loosened her hair, and combed it a little bit.

"Everyone hasn't washed their hair, and it's too ostentatious for me to wash alone, and I can't make this eye a shame if it's okay, and I don't want people to talk ......about it," Pomegranate turned over the pancakes, and the aroma of the pancakes wafted, and her head lowered a little, "Oops......" and shouted.

"Haha...... You think a lot, it's easy, I'll help you wash the third lady's hair in the afternoon, you can also live the blood, and if you wash it again at night, no one will stare at you. Peony smiled and grabbed a strand of her hair and combed it through carefully.

"Sister, you are lighter, I have a little hair......" The pomegranate head leaned back slightly, lowered her eyes and stretched out her hand, picked up the cake and tore off a piece, raised her hand and handed it back.

"Sister taste."

Peony saw the cake dangling in front of her, and opened her mouth to bite it before it reached her mouth, it was sweet and chewy, and there was red hibiscus bean paste in it, "You girl can really hide things, how many of Aunt Zhang's hibiscus cakes have you hidden?" She asked vaguely.

"This is not Aunt Zhang's hibiscus cake, have you ever seen such a big hibiscus cake?" Pomegranate withdrew his hand and took a bite, and put the big half of the cake on the iron chopsticks, before saying: "The hibiscus stuffing in it is Aunt Zhang's, and the cake is made by my mother Sun in the small kitchen, so I made these two, let you eat it, don't go around talking about it." ”

"I just don't say it, the smell in this house will be smelled." The subordinates kept moving, and Peony smiled and said, "Give me another bite ......"

Pomegranate lifted the cake in her hand and brought it to Peony's mouth, and Peony opened her rosy little mouth and took a bite of the filling.

"You...... Dare to hit me, you hit me......"

Peony was frightened and stopped the comb in her hand, her mouth was slightly open and she didn't dare to chew, and turned her head to look at Ruohong on the bed.

Pomegranate raised her hand high, slowly turned her head, and looked at the third lady lying there, and the third lady spoke again.

Ruohong's mouth moved slightly, and she said repeatedly: "You dare to hit me......"

Peony loosened Pomegranate's hair, stood up and walked to the bedside, and called, "Third Miss, Third Miss......"

Pomegranate hurriedly took out a handful of incense tablets from her purse, sprinkled them on the charcoal fire, and immediately a faint fragrance wafted up, and she wrapped half of the baked hot cake in a handkerchief and stuffed it into a cotton jacket.

In the afternoon, Ruoxue took a bag of Mao Feng and went to the house where the old Taoist aunt lived, she boiled water on the small stove to make tea with her own hands, and casually asked people if they had a past life and a present life.

"Everything has a fate, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise, it varies from person to person!" The old Dao Gu closed her eyes slightly and said something that could not be reconciled.

Ruoxue dug up some tea leaves with a silver spoon, put them into the small purple sand teapot, refilled the boiling water, quickly poured out the water, poured hot water into the purple sand pot again, and covered the pot.

Withdraw your hands and sit upright.

Ruoxue looked at the old Taoist aunt sitting cross-legged opposite and asked, "How long will the immortal chief delay before he is willing to rescue my sister?" There should be a time, right? ”

PS:

Ruoxue came to ask for tickets again, and if there is a reward, Ruoxue will also be given one, one piece is not too little, and it will definitely be updated. (smiley)
