Chapter 38: Zhu Xiaoyan is famous in the capital!
Finally, after seeing that the mattress on the couch was covered with red blood, Zhu Xiaoyan was almost weak in pain. She slowly withdrew her hand and instructed the stunned maid on the side, "Go get water and wash my hands." ”
"Yes, Mother Chen."
The maid opened the door, and everyone in the room who had been holding their breath finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the room was filled with a pungent smell of stench and blood, and when everyone saw that Zhu Xiaoyan had passed out, they all slipped out quietly, leaving her there alone, and no one went up to take care of her.
After Chen's mother returned to Mu'en Hall, she would report it truthfully. When the old lady heard that the Zhu family was really possessed by leeches, she was disgusted for a while, and ordered: "Since the Zhu family is unclean, you must not let her serve the master in the future." In two days, you will spread the word to me, and let her have a good birth, and I will choose the right people to serve on my master's side. ”
Chen's mother knew the old lady's thoughts in her heart, but she was always looking forward to having more children and grandchildren in the house. It's also strange that Zhu Xiaoyan violated her bottom line this time, and did it to Aunt Gui, the old lady just took the opportunity to attack now, but her reason is still above board, thinking about it, even the old man will think it is true. Then he nodded and said, "Yes, the old lady is thoughtful." However, the slave has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not? ”
"Yes, old lady, the slave maid thinks that the old man is still in the prime of life, and now the second young master is like this. According to this calculation, our dignified Song Mansion is actually the only heir to the eldest young master who can inherit the incense. In terms of this heir, it is inevitably a little thin......."
Before she finished speaking, the old lady nodded and said, "Well, what you said is right, I have been thinking about it for the past two days, it is time to add a few new people to this mansion." After all, among everyone's sons, having more sons and more blessed children and grandchildren is a good thing to spread out the branches. Hum! It's all Zhu Xiaoyan's fault, she dared to murder these aunts in the house. So, this time I have to teach her a good lesson. ”
Seeing that the old lady was sparkling, obviously she didn't intend to spare Zhu Xiaoyan just like that, Mother Chen secretly laughed in her heart and responded: "Yes, if the second lady did have some credit before, but in this matter, the old slave also felt that she was a little too much." ”
"This account of hers, I will slowly settle it with her in the future, and there will be a time when she is better! Now, the most important thing is to choose a few beautiful women who can give birth to and raise for the master, and the continuation of the incense is the most important. ”
The old lady made up her mind, so she hurriedly ordered to go down. Chen's mother got the order, so she was ordered to send people to find a few adults who came to the capital. After talking to them about the requirements of the house, the people knew that this was a fat difference, so they hurriedly responded, saying that they would bring someone in three days for the old lady to choose, so as to ensure that the quality was the best choice.
Besides, Zichu took cinnamon to inspect the shop outside, and finally determined the decoration plan and the style of the shelves, and after drawing the drawings and handing them to the relevant person in charge, there was a detailed communication. After doing this, she returned to Tsinghua Courtyard tired, and saw that everything in the house was very clean, and her clothes were all washed and hung on bamboo poles in the backyard.
Seeing her come back, Jun Yuchen immediately brewed a pot of new tea with a dog-legged face, handed it to her and said, "It's hard work, let's have a cup of tea first!" ”
Zichu instinctively glanced at the tea a few times, and after making sure that there was nothing strange, he raised his neck and drank it in one gulp.
"Yes, the children can be taught. Xiao Jiu, it seems that you are by my side, and the progress is still obvious! ”
After looking around the room, Zichu was not stingy with his praise at all, and gave Jun Yuchen a thumbs up.
While he was talking, someone pushed the door in from the outside, but he saluted Zichu very politely and said, "Miss, I just received the will from the palace, saying that the queen mother named you to participate in the flower banquet the day after tomorrow." In addition, this time you and a few young ladies have a special exception, you can bring two maids into the palace together. This is a great kindness, slave and maid, congratulations to the eldest lady. ”
Entering the palace again? Do you have to face Shangguan Wanyin, these dog-skinned daughters like plasters? I wonder if this guy will recognize himself?
Zichu felt weak for a while, and after giving Cinnamon a look, Cinnamon took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, stuffed it into the woman's hand, and asked, "Thank you mother for coming to pass the word, but I don't know what the eldest lady should dress up the day after tomorrow?" Is there any reason for this queen to set up a banquet? And what about the other ladies? ”
The woman took the silver, held it in her hand and weighed it, and the smile on her face became a little thicker. In line with the principle of receiving money from others to eliminate disasters for others, she told the news she had heard from the mouths of those who came to announce the decree.
When I heard that none of the stirring spirits in the Song Mansion were invited, the breath hanging in Zichu's heart eased. Although Shangguan Wanyin is also on the list of invitees, she sincerely hopes that this time she will not run into her hands again.
Jun Yuchen stood aside, and when he heard that Zichu was about to enter the palace, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes.
"Miss, the roses have been picked, what do you think these should be done?"
After Cinnamon came back from outside, she was not idle, and according to Zichu's instructions, she quickly went to pick a basket of roses and came in. Zichu looked at the color of these flowers, and after sniffing them carefully, he nodded and praised: "Well, this flower is not bad, not only fragrant but also uniform in color, full and warm." I just don't know, what will be the effect of the mask made with this? ”
"Masks? Miss, what is a face mask? This flower ...... The slave maid had only heard of someone using flowers to make tea and some people using flowers for medicine, but it was the first time I heard that this could be used to make a mask. ”
Zichu smiled at her, clapped his palms, looked eager to try, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Then you just wait and see, after I make it, you will be the first to try the effect." ”
"Huh? Me again? Don't miss it, or let Xiao Jiu try your invention! ”
After saying that, cinnamon smeared oil under his feet and quickly ran away.
Jun Yuchen, who was left to realize it later, hurriedly waved his hand and said when he saw the playful smile in Zichu's eyes: "Don't look at me with such eyes!" I'd rather die than give in! ”
"Oh? Is it? If you really want to be reluctant, I can't force you, right? However, when I enter the palace the day after tomorrow, then I will ........" Seeing that Zichu dragged out his voice, obviously using the matter of entering the palace to blackmail himself, Jun Yuchen had no choice but to close his eyes in great humiliation, and said with a sad face: "Then let's talk about it, only this once, not for example!" ”
Zichu looked at his reluctance, only smiled, reached out and pinched his right cheek, and laughed: "Don't worry, as long as you try it once, I promise, you will definitely fall in love with what I made." ”
After saying that, she took the basket of petals like a gust of wind, went to the eaves, and beckoned Cinnamon to fetch her some other tools.
Considering the environmental conditions here, Zichu can only make ready-made fresh rose milk masks. The milk is easily skimmed to ensure that it does not cause allergies to the skin.
The rose petals are the freshest, washed and placed in a small bowl, then filled with milk, a teaspoon of honey, and finely pounded with a mallet to puree.
After finally doing this, Zichu was also tired and sweaty. Jun Yuchen was originally quite unimpressed with her invention, but after seeing her so serious, she couldn't help but come over to take a look. When I saw the pink clay-like object at the bottom of the bowl, I couldn't help frowning and said, "This is what you call a mask?" It doesn't look any different! ”
"Don't jump to conclusions? Whether it has any effect or not, you have to try it to know! ”
As she spoke, she forcibly pressed Jun Yuchen down on the couch in the main house. Jun Yuchen's mind was hot, and she didn't know what she was going to do, so she saw her holding the small bowl with one hand and touching the placket of her clothes with the other.......
"What are you going to do? How embarrassing is it to be seen in broad daylight? ”
Although he also understands that the two have long had that kind of substantive relationship. However, after this period of getting along day and night, he doesn't feel that Zichu is like that kind of girl with a bold style! But now, what is the matter with her pressing herself on the couch like this and bullying herself?
"Don't move! Be honest! ”
Zichu said, stretched out his hand to open his shirt a little, this action made Jun Yuchen say again with a bit of shyness: "Oh, dead ghost, can't you be gentle?" Why don't we go into the room, wouldn't it be nice for someone to bump into us? …….”。
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a sudden chilling sensation on his face. With wide eyes, he watched Zi Chu neatly paste the mask in the bowl onto his face one by one, and at the same time, a faint fragrance of roses also entered his nose.
"Close your eyes and lie here for half an hour....... ah no, it should be a quarter of an hour. Relax and have a good time on your own. ”
Zichu said, and was about to leave with the empty bowl, but he didn't want to, Jun Yuchen grabbed her sleeve and said quite pitifully: "No, you want me to relax, then you have to accompany me by the side." ”
What is the truth of this? I've never heard that you should relax quietly when making a mask, but he's good, glaring at his nose, and actually asking himself to be next to him?
But seeing that his face was covered with a mask, which was quite funny, Zichu smiled slightly, and in order to appease the man who risked acting as an experiment for himself, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll sit next to you and accompany you." Get a good night's sleep! I'll wake you up in a moment. ”
Jun Yuchen saw that she actually agreed to herself, and sat on the rosewood chair next to her, secretly happy in her heart. So he took her hand by the way, pretended to close his eyes and fell asleep.
