It's been a week since the last time I went back to Yunran.

Mai Jiu didn't blame Yucui, but this incident made the people of Yi'an Yuan completely have a heart for Yun Ran, and sometimes they didn't pass by Xinxiang Garden to get things from the office, but took a long detour, for fear that a cloud dye would suddenly pop out and drag them in.

Mai Jiu is also happy to be quiet, Sang Huai'an seems to be busy with something recently, and he is in the book every day. Without the disturbance of Sang Huai'an and Yun Ran, Mai Jiu's small life gradually became well-off.

The roses in the backyard garden are blooming, and if you don't look at it, you will miss the season.

Mai Jiu touched the stalk of the rose and said, "Sure enough, they are all thorny roses." ”

Zhihua, who was standing on the side, replied cutely, "Master, roses are naturally thorny." ”

These roses do not need to be guessed to be planted by people, so delicate and beautiful, other flowers are naturally inferior to it, but this gorgeous and moving rose in this quiet garden is particularly eye-catching.

Mai Jiu avoided the thorns on the flower stalks, pulled out one and said, "Tell the gardener to pull out all the thorns of these roses and send them to Yi'an Hospital." ”

After that, Mai Jiu also went to the office to find lemon fruit, pure liquor, stone mortar, gauze, beeswax and refined utensils, and finally found all the kitchens in the mansion to borrow a small stove and casserole for boiling Chinese medicine.

Mai Jiu returned to Yi'an Courtyard, and the three of them stared at the things that their masters had brought back.

Mai Jiu said, "The roses in the backyard are blooming, I want to try to make rouge." ”

The first step is to remove the rose petals. At first glance, there are a lot of roses in the backyard, but when I pick them, there seem to be few of them, and I don't know if there are enough for each person.

The second step is to put it in a stone mortar and mash it. Mai Jiu found the largest stone mortar, which is used for pounding rice grains on weekdays.

Step 3: Add the lemon juice. Lemon fruit is a sour fruit, with a light yellow surface with a refreshing and sour taste, which can moisturize the lips.

Step 4: Add a little white wine and continue to mash. Baijiu is naturally the best liquor in the house, I hope Sang Huai'an will not find out.

Finally, pour in the gauze, squeeze out the juice, add beeswax and boil until viscous, and put it in a utensil.

Mai Jiu looked at the eight refined utensils on the table, and next to them were the praises of Zhihua and the others, and a sense of pride rose.

Mai Jiu brought a bamboo basket and put all the rouge inside.

After lunch, I walked out of the yard and wanted to visit the door. She wanted to go to Zhumengxuan to find Wei Xiran first, after all, they spoke for her last time, and they didn't like Yun Ran either, and before she reached the door, she heard the sound of women in the courtyard laughing and playing.

"It's really hilarious." Mai Jiu just picked up the knocker and opened the door by herself before she knocked on it, she stretched her neck and leaned into the courtyard and asked weakly, "Yes... People? ”

A slave ran towards Mai Jiu and almost fell, she ran to Mai Jiu and said, "Mrs. Mandarin, the slave doesn't know you're coming, please come in." ”

Mai Jiu pointed to the courtyard gate next to him, "Your door... I opened it as soon as I touched it. ”

The little maid hurriedly bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry Mrs. Mandarin, the courtyard gate is in disrepair and will open as soon as the wind blows, I'm really sorry to scare you." ”

Mai Jiu pushed the courtyard door, and the courtyard door squeaked and shook, "Then why don't you find someone to fix it." ”

The maidservant welcomed Mai Jiu in and said to her as she walked, "The slaves and maids have gone to report every time, but no one has come to repair them every time, and it is not a cloud... The princess summoned all the carpenters to the Xinxiang Garden to repair the music stage for her. ”

Mai Jiu followed the maidservant to the backyard, where several women were chatting and laughing while eating melon seeds.

Lu Youning saw the person standing not far away, Mai Jiu smiled and waved his hand generously, then lifted the basket to his chest and shook it.

The others followed Lu Youning's gaze, Wei Xiran stopped the movements in his hands and mouth, threw down the melon seeds in his hand, and walked like Mai Jiu with a smile on his face.

"Oh, why didn't my sister say anything when she came over, I knew to prepare more melon seeds, hurry up." Mai Jiu was half-pushed and half-pulled by Wei Xiran into the pavilion and sat down.

Mai Jiu looked at the melon seeds and melon seed skins on the table and said, "You guys are... What about the melon seed meeting? ”

Wei Xiran's little bird hammered Mai Jiu's shoulder, and Mai Jiu was beaten and propped up on the table, it hurt.

"Sister Mandarin is really good at laughing, you forgot that this is our monthly melon seed banquet."

Lu Youning, who was sitting on the left side of Mai Jiu, introduced Mai Jiu one by one, "This is red date flavor, this is pecan flavored, spiced, green tea, and finally I will introduce to you this melon seed is the garlic flavor that I invented." ”

Mai Jiu's elbow propped up on the stone table almost didn't slip off after hearing the smell of garlic.

Lu Youning grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in front of Mai Jiu, "You can taste them." ”

Mai Jiu smiled awkwardly at Lu Youning's expectant expression, and she picked up a tentative one and sent it to her mouth. Lu Youning's expectant expression was closer to Mai Jiu, and he asked repeatedly, "Is it delicious?" Is it tasty? ”

Mai Jiu continued to laugh awkwardly, and the skin of the melon seeds rotated out of the melon seeds inside, and she clicked her mouth.

She really didn't want to hit others, so she could only reply, "It's delicious, you are so skillful." ”

Lu Youning was overjoyed when he heard this, and pushed the plate with garlic-scented melon seeds in front of Mai Jiu, "If it's delicious, you can eat more." ”

Mai Jiu looked at the melon seeds in front of him and smiled and gritted his teeth, "Thank you, you are really a little genius." ”

Lu Youning scratched his head, with a shy expression on his face, "Oops, no." ”

Wei Xiran, who was standing behind Mai Jiu, couldn't hold back and was about to laugh, sitting quietly on the stone bench, Lin Yingsleeve, who hadn't spoken since Mai Jiu came over, also picked up the embroidered handkerchief and covered her mouth and snickered.

Lin Yingsleeve opened her mouth and said, "Sister Ning, did you do it yourself, don't you have any points in your heart?" ”

Wei Xiran finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

Lu Youning's face instantly fell, her breathing became louder, and she asked unwillingly, "Sister Mandarin, tell me, is it really not delicious?" ”

Mai Jiu glanced at Lin Yingsleeve, then at Wei Xiran behind him, and then nodded firmly: "It's not delicious." ”

When Lu Youning heard this, she buried her head and cried, she sobbed and said, "I thought you and I had the same taste, and I would never cook again." After saying that, the crying was louder.

Mai Jiu felt that his words were too heavy and wanted to step forward to comfort him, but his shoulder was held down by Wei Xiran behind him, "It's okay, she will be hit every time she cooks, and it will be fine after a while." ”

Mai Jiu moved and touched the small basket at his feet, "By the way, I forgot the purpose of my visit this time, I made some rouge with my own hands and sent it to you." With that, he picked up the basket and put it on the table.

Lu Youning stopped crying and raised his head after hearing this. Mai Jiu was the first to give it to Lu Youning, and after Lu Youning opened the lid, he was about to laugh out of his nose, "Wow, this color is so beautiful." ”

Mai Jiu picked up two more and gave them to Wei Xiran and Lin Yingsleeve respectively, and Lin Yingsleeve took it and said, "Thank you." ”

Wei Xiran opened the locket and ordered some to apply to her lips, and she asked Lin Yingsleeve, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Lin Yingsleeve nodded. She also opened the utensils in her hand and asked, "Sister Mandarin, this color is very bright, I don't know what you are made of." ”

"Roses in the back garden." As soon as Mai Jiu finished speaking, he was struck the back by Wei Xiran, "I have long seen that the roses in the garden are not pleasing to the eye, and they are beautiful!" ”

Mai Jiu was beaten by Wei Xiran and fell directly on the table, she was thinking that this little girl would not be a martial artist, she had such great strength.

Lu Youning, a person who lacks roots and tendons, didn't put it on his mouth, but painted his face red.

After Wei Xiran glanced at Lu Youning, he burst into laughter and almost didn't look up. Mai Jiu glanced at it, don't overdo it, and try to hold back a smile. Lin Yingsleeve still picked up the embroidered handkerchief and covered her mouth and smiled without showing her teeth, she picked up the small bronze mirror she carried with her and gave it to Lu Youning.

Lu Youning looked up and laughed after seeing himself in the mirror, but unexpectedly, he raised his head and fell over. After the three of them saw it, they hurriedly got up, Lu Youning put his legs on the stone bench, and his upper body was lying on the ground in embarrassment.

She pouted and was about to cry again. Wei Xiran stepped forward and covered Lu Youning's mouth and said, "I've already experienced your crying skills today, okay." After speaking, he helped Lu Youning up.

Lin Yingsleeve stepped forward and took an embroidered handkerchief to brush off the dust behind Lu Youning, straightened her hairpin and said softly, "Don't be so reckless, what kind of system." ”

Mai Jiu looked at Lin Yingsleeve, then at Wei Xiran, who had been snickering beside him, and finally looked at Lu Youning, who was pouting and angry.

It's weird that these three people with very different personalities can become such good sisters.

She looked at the sky and said, "It's not too early, I'm going to give the rouge to the other sisters in the courtyard, so I'll go first." "Before leaving, I didn't forget to grab a handful of melon seeds to eat on the way.
