Chapter 7 Fragrance and self-appreciation
Chow likes spices.
When she was still in the boudoir, she learned to have a hand, and the various incense she made by herself was one of the best in the capital.
After marrying Jing Guogong, Zhou took out the spice recipe he had developed and opened a spice shop.
As soon as Qiao Mei entered the house, Qingzhu took off her cloak and put on the tea set before retreating.
The thick bamboo burns incense next to the Rui Nao Golden Beast stove in the corner of the case, she has been by Zhou's side since she was a child, and the incense is not bad.
Qiao Mei glanced at her, and Nongzhu noticed her gaze and couldn't help but raise her head, and quickly lowered her head, with a soft white neck, a demure and docile side face.
Qiao Mei smiled unexpectedly in his eyes, knelt down, no longer looked at her, and only said, "Nongzhu, you go down." ”
Thick bamboo was a little surprised, but he still closed the lid and bowed down.
The Zhou family has always doted on Qiao Mei, and the big girls around her all know about it, so Qiao Mei called her, and she also wanted to follow the will of this little master.
The incense in the room was commonly used by the Zhou family in the past, and it smelled very refreshing, but Qiao Mei sniffed it vigorously and only felt that this fragrance was familiar, it should be commonly used by the Zhou family, but he couldn't name it.
"What are you going to do with the thick bamboo down?" Zhou put down the pen in his hand, saw her like this, couldn't help but smile, and answered for her, "This incense is called for self-appreciation, and the flowers taken are still the plain plum that your father bought before, but this spice recipe was only developed a few days ago, I was afraid that I would waste these plum blossoms, and I didn't want this incense to be excellent." ”
Yes, the plum in the deep winter is the most liked by Zhou, at the end of winter, Jing Guogong spent a lot of money to buy some plain plum to give to Zhou, Zhou specially prepared a recipe for it, the synthetic incense is the most clear, so take the word "self-appreciation" in "lonely fang self-appreciation".
In this life, the Zhou family only studied the recipe for self-appreciation, but in his previous life, Qiao Mei had sniffed it a hundred times, but he couldn't remember the name.
Qiao's brows flushed, but his subordinates washed the tea set and poured a cup of tea for her.
"Niang's fragrance has always been powerful, but you love the girl next to you, and I don't want to talk to you!"
Zhou liked her closeness, and the more he smiled, he only said, "You still don't know who my mother is biased into?" ”
At this time, Pu'er is the most fragrant, and the golden leaves stretch in the hot water, turning the tea into a faint brown yellow.
It's just that she poured it in the cup after passing it in the water, Qiao Mei remembered that Zhou loved to drink raw tea.
Zhou looked at it from the side and sighed softly: "My Qingqing is worthy of the best in the world." ”
Qiao Mei was stunned in his hand, in his previous life, when the Zhou family splashed Jinlin Hall with blood for her, he also said this.
It's just that this situation is different from that time.
Zhou Shi took the tea cup in her hand, but poured the tea inside, and brewed the Pu'er in the pot again, watching the tea slowly turn into a rich brown yellow, and then said to Qiao Mei, "What raw tea does the little girl drink, it's too bitter." ”
Qiao Mei really doesn't like bitter tea, but she remembered the Zhou family in her previous life, why she never brewed tea and only tasted the bitter rhyme, she also wanted to know.
Although half a year has suddenly passed in her previous life, Qiao Mei still feels sad when she thinks of Zhou at that time, only to feel a layer of tears floating in her eyes, Qiao Mei leaned over and hugged Zhou, Zhou was frightened by her actions, and said, "What's wrong?" But who bullied you? Is it Sister Hui? I said before that don't ......" Zhou wanted to tell her not to get too close to Qiao Hui, and remembered that Qiao Mei didn't like her words the most, so he swallowed the words again.
But when it comes to Qiao Hui, she still doesn't like it, the Zhou family is from a big family, and the intrigue in the house is not without it, where can you not see the thoughts of a little girl?
Qiao Mei shook his head, "Mother, I think I have responded to Your Majesty's thoughts." ”
-
At the beginning of March, the spring flowers are brilliant.
Qiao Mei moved back to her yard after she was in good health, and the maids who had caused her to fall into the water were also sold out by Mrs. Qiao, no one dared to say that Qiao Mei was not at all, who let these Diao slaves dare to harbor evil intentions! If you don't punish it severely, I'm afraid you will dare to murder your master in the future.
However, although those girls gritted their teeth and said that they were pushing the water under Qiao's eyebrows, Mrs. Qiao still found out that a few people had some dealings with Mama Li in the second room.
Immediately, Qi was grounded.
This pot was firmly buckled on Qi's head.
The sun was shining, and Qiao Mei also unwrapped the big coat that had been wrapped for a long time and changed into a cool and comfortable thin skirt. On the small table next to it is melon seeds fried golden in syrup, and a small plate of Bazhen cake.
In the evening, when Bai Qing came in with a gilded invitation, Bai Yue was talking to Qiao Mei about what he had heard in the house. The two of them are the people that the Zhou family is looking for in their own Zhuangzi, and they are all family members of some cronies, and the Zhou family takes advantage of their shortcomings, and it is categorical that there will be no previous betrayal.
"Girl, someone has come to the palace, saying that the girl is invited to a banquet in the palace when she arrives."
Qiao Mei took the post, the gilded paper was printed with dignified words, the line was smooth, she recognized the handwriting at once, and wondered: "Why don't you let me go to the front hall?" Who's coming? ”
He lowered his head and did not dare to answer.
Qiao Mei suddenly understood, last time she told the Zhou family that she wanted to marry the prince, and the Zhou family gave her a cold face for the first time.
Qiao Mei sighed and got up, glanced at the worship who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "You get up and go to the front hall with me." ”
He stood up with a very uneasy face.
In early spring, irises bloom very well, and a large number of irises are planted in Qiaomei's Fuxiu courtyard, and the lilac flowers sway slightly in the wind.
"Girl," said in a whisper, "the people from the palace may be gone......
With his hand brushing over the irise, Qiao Mei dragged a flower, and then pinned it between the buns of worship, only smiled: "What are you afraid of, you say that I abuse the maid's subordinates, are you afraid...... I sold you? ”
"Girl, forgive me! The slave is stupid, she doesn't mean this! Outside, no one outside dared to slander the girl like this...... "Bai Qing knelt down violently, kowtowed, and looked even more frightened.
"Hurry up, just a few jokes, don't kneel down at every turn in the future."
"Yes." The worship was obviously much more relaxed.
Qiao Mei raised her eyebrows and smiled, it's so good, she has not been designed in this life, and she has been burdened with a trumped-up crime for the rest of her life.
