Chapter 2 Dream Soul Incense
"Matsushima Crane returns to the letter, and the wind in Orange Island is fragrant with dreams." The woman yawned lightly, turned away from the counter, and walked towards the second floor of the small building. "May Madame have a good dream today."
The master and servant left Mengjiang Building, and Mrs. Liu was not in high spirits when she came, so she hastily visited a few shops in Dongshi and returned to the house.
In the main room of Liu's Mansion, Chun Tao is removing ornaments for Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu looked at the woman in the bronze mirror, and four words couldn't help but come to mind: Ye Thin Flower Remnant. Thinking of the shopkeeper of Mengjianglou I saw today, I sighed even more.
"Chun Tao, what do you think of that woman today?"
Chun Tao couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing what the owner meant: "Naturally, she is a beauty." ”
Mrs. Liu sighed: "When I was young, I may have her six points of beauty...... It's a pity that the old days can't be repeated, I really envy these youthful faces. ”
"How could Madame think so? How many ladies and ladies in the capital are envy Mrs. You are married to a good man, and the son you gave birth to is also a talent. The shopkeeper is beautiful, but it may not be as blessed as you! Chun Tao comforted softly.
Speaking of which, that woman doesn't look like she has a husband, otherwise how could she open a store alone? I don't know what kind of husband a woman with such a posture will marry in the future......" Mrs. Liu pondered for a while, and then turned her head to look at Chun Tao: "You say, why don't you let Xin'er meet her?" ”
Chun Tao immediately understood what Mrs. Liu meant: "The slave maid thinks it is impossible, since ancient times, marriage has been the right family, if Young Master Liu marries a market woman, others don't know what they will think of our Liu Mansion!" ”
"I just thought about it for a moment...... Xia Hua said when Xin'er will be able to return to Beijing? ”
"Back to Madame, Xia Hua said that the news came from this afternoon, the young master has arrived in Nanling, and it is estimated that he will be able to come back to say goodbye to Madame in four or five days."
"It's going to take so long...... "Mrs. Liu put the last bracelet into the dressing table and closed the drawer. When I raised my eyes, I caught a glimpse of the delicate small wooden box on the side. "Chun Tao, help me light the soothing incense and get another book."
"Yes. Is Madame going to take a nap? When do you need a slave to wake you up? ”
"Just try to see if today's new tranquilizer is useful, I can't sleep for long, so you don't have to call me." Mrs. Liu hesitated again, remembered the Xueqing Xiaolou, and changed her words: "If I haven't woken up half an hour before the master comes back, wake me up." ”
When the spring peach falls, the incense is lit, and the woody aroma fills the room. Mrs. Liu leaned on the bed and flipped through the account book, only to feel that her head was getting more and more dizzy, and after half an hour, she put down the account book and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already an hour later. Mrs. Liu sat up and stretched her muscles, still feeling uncomfortable. The fragrance in the house was permeated, and Chun Tao knocked lightly on the door: "Madam, are you awake?" The lord has just sent a message for you to attend a night banquet, and the carriage has been prepared. ”
Mrs. Liu rubbed her eyebrows: "Got it, dress up for me." ”
Chun Tao walked into the house, and Mrs. Fuliu sat in front of the bronze mirror and combed her hair.
"Chun Tao, your technique is getting better and better, it used to be that the comb bun would pull to the root of the hair, but now it is combed fast and well."
Chun Tao smiled: "Mrs. Xie praises." ”
After freshening up and putting on the fat powder, Mrs. Liu got into the carriage at the door. There was still an incense burner lit in the carriage, thinking that Chun Tao thought she liked it and specially prepared it.
The carriage was filled with the scent of wood, and she felt a little tired again, closed her eyes slightly, and prepared to take a nap for a while. "Xu is still not awake from a nap, rest for a while, Chun Tao will call me."
I don't know how long later, the voice of the maid came from outside the carriage: "Miss, get off the train!" ”
Mrs. Liu opened her eyes suddenly, and secretly sighed that she had almost overslept. When the curtain was lifted, it was getting late outside.
"Miss, the master is waiting for you in the front hall, you better think about how to explain." An old man with a somewhat familiar face walked up, and Mrs. Liu didn't remember who he was for a while, but noticed his title: "What do you call me?" ”
"Don't make trouble with the little ancestor, the master looks angry, and it's useless to persuade the lady. Where the hell have you been today? The old man winked, and the maid behind him came up to help her out of the car.
The memory was retraced, and Mrs. Liu remembered who the old man was: "Uncle Li......" She looked back at Chun Tao again, but where was there a spring peach, there was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little girl, and the little girl was afraid of the old man's punishment, so she lowered her head coyly. "Are you...... Zef? ”
"Miss? What's wrong with you? Zev looked up and looked at her with some doubt.
Mrs. Liu only felt dizzy in front of her eyes, Uncle Li had already driven to the west after she entered the Liu Mansion, how could it be possible to come back to life? And Tsefu left the house ten years ago to get married, how did it become a ...... She raised her hand, her skin was delicate, how could she look like a woman who was nearly half a hundred years old? So, she's ...... Go back thirty years!
