Chapter 155: Don't Come Unharmed
A dreamless night.
Yesterday, the group rushed on the road for six hours, and everyone was tired enough, so they had a hasty dinner and rested in peace. Peach Blossom and Liu Lu specially prepared a bath bucket for Du Mei to relieve her fatigue, and she was so sleepy that she almost fell asleep.
But today, she woke up earlier than when she was at home. I don't know if she is used to such a soft and large bed, or if the sound of melting ice water in the room is noisy to her. Du Mei opened his eyes and watched as the sky darkened the window and projected into the room. The agarwood lit in pink last night has burned out, and only the fragrance has not yet dispersed.
There was no sound in the corridor outside the door, Du Mei couldn't bear to make a sound, she knew that everyone was tired yesterday, if she got up so early, I was afraid that she would disturb the others.
When the sun had completely jumped over the horizon and the ravioli vendors on the street began to shout, Du Mei got up quickly. She finished washing lightly, and as soon as she approached the kitchen, she saw Peach Blossom and Liu Lu yawning, accompanied by an old mother-in-law coming from the other end.
"Miss Du is early, why did you get up so early?" Pink and Willow Green ran up to her in fear.
"Peach blossoms, willow green, you are early." Du Mei stood with a smile.
"Miss Du is early, and the slaves and maids haven't prepared breakfast yet." The mother-in-law owes a gift.
"Who are you?" Du Mei hurriedly curtsied back.
"The girl is a nobleman, so she should rest more. You're like this, and you're tormenting the old woman. I'm Mrs. Xia who is in charge of the kitchen in Luomei Xuan, what the girl wants to eat, just tell me, if I know how to do it, I will make it for you. Mrs. Xia was busy and returned the courtesy.
"I just can't sleep, what to eat today, I'm here to help." Du Mei wears an aqua blue arrow sleeve skirt, which is convenient and easy to work.
"No, no, no, how can I work you, you can rest, I was tired yesterday." Pink waved her hand again and again and interjected.
"Don't get angry with me, I do more at home than that." Du Mei followed them into the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper Ye likes to eat chaos, we have chopped the meat filling last night and chilled it, just roll out the dough and wrap it today." Liu Lu liked Du Mei's straightforwardness, and smiled at her.
"Chaos needs chili oil, I'll boil chili oil." Du Mei said briskly.
"Can you really do it?" Xia Pozi didn't believe it, the girl in front of her was obviously doing embroidery, her hands were slender and fair, how could she still cook and cook?
"Try it and you'll find out." Du Mei blinked slyly.
"Mama Xia, just let Miss Du try it, Shopkeeper Ye always says that our chili oil doesn't taste right." Willow Green gently tugged at the pink sleeve.
"Yes, I can give her a hand." Pink hurriedly picked up the stubble.
"Alright then, the peppers are all there, what ingredients do you need, let Rosé help you get it." Xia Pozi can't resist the three girls, the left is just a joke, anyway, there is some chili oil left yesterday. If it is broken, it doesn't matter, so it loosens its mouth and lets them toss.
Taohong was originally sold with Ye Dan, and Liu Lu answered outside the door of the elegant room on the second floor, because they had no relatives and no reason in Jiangling City, and they had no place to stay. Ye Dan kindly took them in to live in Luomei Xuan temporarily, but he just needed time to help Mrs. Xia do some things in the kitchen.
Du Mei found all the condiments, cut the green onions, ginger, garlic and chili, and lit the stove with pink red. With a "la" sound, the kitchen began to be lively, and the spicy and fresh fragrance was refined by the hot oil.
On the other side, Xia Pozi's fingers flew up, one and a half feet long
The small rolling pin made it handy, and in three or two clicks, the small dough was crushed into a very thin dough and thrown in front of Liu Lu.
Liu Lu did not show weakness, picked up the thin skin and spread it in the palm of his left hand, his right hand used a chopstick to dip it in the meat foam saucer and provoked a little, the dough in his left hand wrapped the chopsticks, and he held it in his hand, and when he pulled out the chopsticks with his right hand, the chaos in his left hand had been thrown into the small plaque.
"Today's chili oil tastes good." Ye Dan ate two bowls of wontons and said meaningfully.
"Hmm." Peach blossoms and willow green only buried their heads in eating, and did not dare to say more.
"It's made of plums. Well? Ye Dan saw that these two people who looked like magpies on weekdays were abnormally silent, so he guessed one or two.
"I can't sleep in the morning, so I'm looking for something to do." Du Mei was afraid that Ye Dan would punish the two, so he hurriedly took the initiative to say.
"You......" Ye Dan shook his head.
After breakfast, Ye Dan told Du Mei about the details of the fair, but Du Mei was worried about finding a place to see the door in and out, and she wanted to know whether the fake was Du Xing.
Ye Dan couldn't, so he had to take Du Mei to look around the lobby. When I came to the lobby during the day, I felt that it was more exquisite and high-end, showing everyone's demeanor everywhere and imposing. The camphor wood frame is one foot high next to the wall, embroidery, antiques, porcelain, ancient books, gold and silver jewelry are piled up, all the treasures in the world, as long as you want to get it, you can go to Luomei Xuan to find it.
"Aren't you afraid of being stolen?" Du Mei was only interested in ancient books, and when she saw a single volume, she said to Ye Dan in surprise.
"Don't worry, I'm always on duty here, but you can't see it." Ye Dan looked at Du Mei with a worried look on his face and said with a smile.
"Oh." Du Mei looked up and down, left and right, it was obvious that there were only the two of them.
Du Mei didn't delve into these either, Ye Dan said that if someone saw it, it must be. She chose the next position on the east staircase, where she looked in from the outside, and basically didn't pay attention, but from here, she had an excellent line of sight, and anyone coming in and out of the door was under Du Mei's nose.
In the hustle and bustle of unknowingly, the sun slid down the western mountains. Little by little, the lights in the street market began to turn on. Luo Meixuan opened the door to welcome guests.
The Fuzhu Singing and Selling Club was extremely successful, and its invitations once skyrocketed to 100 taels of silver, but they were still priceless. Now, since the fake turmoil, there are face-saving people in Jiangling City, who disdain to have the same dolls as others, and they are all undecided, so Ye Dan directly canceled the invitation, stipulating that only fifty guests will be accepted per show, and the full house will start.
Du Meiyin's clothes were stained with the smell of spicy oil, so he had to go up to the third floor and change into a new wide-sleeved skirt made by Xu. At this moment, Peach Blossom and Willow Green knocked on the door with a box.
"What is this?" Du Mei asked.
"Shopkeeper Ye asked the girl to choose one to wear, you are the face of Luo Meixuan, you must not be sloppy." Pink put down the box and opened the box road.
"This ......" Du Mei looked at the box full of all kinds of hairpin beads, and looked stunned.
"Let's help you tie your hair up, so it will be easier to choose jewelry." Pink picked up the wooden comb and combed it gently.
"Don't bother." Du Mei turned to take Peach's hand.
"Then let's pick the hairpin first." Peach had to take a step back and say.
"Golden? Silver? Gold-inlayed? Dotted emerald? Liu Lu spread out the four hairpins and stuck them between his fingers to show Du Mei.
Du Mei shook his head and said nothing.
"Look at these!" Pink will be inlaid in all sorts
Treasures, beads, corals, and rubies, all held up in front of Du Mei.
Du Mei still shook his head.
By this standard, most of the boxes are not Du Mei's liking.
"Auntie, tell me what you like." These pieces of jewelry are all fine, and each one is perfect, but it doesn't fit into Du May's eyes.
"All I need is one to go with this dress." Du Mei was originally sitting, but after saying this, she stood up and walked in front of Peach Blossom and Willow Green.
"You ...... clothes" It is said that Peach Blossom and Liu Lu have also seen many noble girls in Gangneung City, but no one has such a decent and exquisite dress. Although the fabric is just muslin, it is difficult to find a second one for workmanship and embroidery!
"Pretty, my mother made it!" Du Mei looked at their surprised expressions and said with a little pride.
"I just saw a white hosta, carved with a white magnolia!" Pink slapped her head and hurriedly went to the box to find it.
"And voila! Over here. Liu Lu raised the tip of the hairpin in his hand and shook it.
"It's pretty exquisite." Du Mei took it, carefully examined, the hosta was white, like ice carving, and the fancy style was simple, only two white magnolias were clustered together.
"Just use this." Seeing that Du Mei liked it, Peach Red coiled Du Mei's black hair into a single screw bun and fixed it with a hairpin.
Liu Lu also wanted to put earrings and necklaces on Du Mei, and even put makeup on her lips on her eyebrows, but Du Mei desperately refused.
When Du Mei quietly sat down at the bottom of the stairs, there were no distinguished guests coming, and it was the most lively time after four o'clock in Gangneung City.
It's all dark outside, the night pearl in the house exudes more and more dazzling light, at this time, the front of Luomei Xuan can be described as a busy traffic, Ye Dan took his men to wait in front of the door, in the carriage, in the sedan chair, the sons and ladies of each family came in the company of the little maid.
At the entrance, there is a guy who is responsible for registering visitors, if he intends to bid, he will give the guest another flower sign, plum, narcissus, orchid, qionghua, camellia, peony, peony, gardenia, azalea, hibiscus, osmanthus, chrysanthemum, a total of twelve, there is no more after the end, late, want to bid is not qualified, can only wait for the next one.
Those who receive the lottery can sit in the closest place to the round platform, and even participate in a bidding to see the items up close, and even touch them with their own hands when the price is in a stalemate state.
So the first to come, all came for the flower lot, and soon, all the twelve cards in the man's hand were sent out.
"Today's fifty guests are full, and the show is about to start!" The guy who registered sang loudly.
The upstairs private room was full, and the high platform was also full of guests, and those who came late could only be separated and sit at a distance.
Du Mei's eyes widened, and she looked at the people who came in one by one, but she didn't find Du Xing!
"Isn't it her? Who would that be! Du Meiyin looked anxiously at the bottom of the stairs, muttering in his heart.
Just as she was looking around for Du Xing, she didn't know that in a private room on the second floor, a pair of deep eyes were playfully locking on her.
As if having a sense, Du Mei turned around and looked up at the windows of the ten elegant rooms, and looked at each other, where would Du Xing sit.
"Little girl, don't come unharmed!" A man with a long figure leaning by the window with his arms crossed, dressed in a scarlet robe covered with black veil, with a golden crown and black hair. He saw Du Mei's raised face, and his eyebrows couldn't help but curt, and the pear vortex on the left side was shallow. 2k reading web
