Chapter Thirty-Nine: Dreams Are Dry
In the end, the Shen family still set up a mourning hall for Shen Yanfeng and the Chen family, which was in Shuyuzhai.
did not invite outsiders to condole, but simply laid it out, invited the Shen family's clansmen in Beijing to come and go, and the funeral was completed.
Shen Qiutan was wearing a sackcloth and filial piety clothes, looking at the Shen family one after another, and his heart couldn't help but chill.
This so-called funeral is more like doing it for yourself and coaxing children to play.
She wanted to get back her mother's dowry and take her younger brother out, but in this secular background, they had grandparents and grandmothers, and the younger brother was too young to break up.
As for the Chen family's dowry, after so many years, I'm afraid there isn't much left, Qiao Shan told Shen Qiutan to leave it alone, he will deal with it, but Shen Qiutan is thinking about how to get the rest back, not only to get it back, but also to make up for the part that the Shen family originally took......
It's just that there's no urgency in this matter.
…………
After the funeral, the spring is becoming brighter and brighter.
Children see the wind growing, one day at a time.
The weather was warm, Shen Qiutan skillfully hugged his younger brother and took him to see the fresh buds on the peach blossom branches.
Xiao Changzhen ate well, and finally got rid of the thinness he saw at first sight, and even cried a lot louder. The nurse Zhang Taohua has been staying in the middle of the agarwood, and if there is no nine girls, she will never step out of the door. As for learning the rules or something, how important is it to take care of the children?
After basking in the sun for a while, Shen Qiutan handed Xiao Changzhen into the hands of Peach Blossom, changed into light clothes, and went to the incense room on the second floor.
Originally, this was Shen Zhenniang's embroidery room, but Shen Qiutan arranged it slightly, separated a shaded and dry place, and became his own incense-making room.
When she was a rabbit at that time, she would emit a little fragrance from time to time, which was much lighter than the fragrance when she transformed, but if she had a heart, she would smell it, but at that time, this fragrance came and went, and Shen Qiutan didn't care about it. But when I returned to the Shen family, it was different.
This aroma has changed from being vague and coming and going to becoming clearer and more stable, so Shen Qiutan must find a way to cover up this aroma.
If she is an ordinary woman, if she has a strange fragrance, she may be secretly happy, and if her reputation spreads, she may find a good home, but Shen Qiutan doesn't want to go anywhere, she has a smell that can be distinguished. She also doesn't need the so-called "exotic" reputation.
Before the crossing, she happened to be a sophomore in college, and studied chemistry in school for two years, if she had some equipment, she could try to make some flavors and fragrances, but in this era, these conditions are not available. As for the incense-making skills of this era, Shen Qiutan can be said to know nothing.
Qiao Shan knew that she had the incense recipe handed down by the Chen family, or found her something like "Introduction to Incense Making", as well as some basic incense-making materials and utensils. What Shen Qiutan has to do now is not to make fragrances, but to start from the most basic identification and treatment of incense materials.
She wasn't in a hurry, she just hung a sachet on her body, which could cover up her own aroma.
Of course, she also took the opportunity to steal food.
She suspected that the taste on her body might be eaten like this, and she was worried that if she ate too much, she would accidentally transform again, but every time she smelled incense materials such as peppercorns and cloves, which can be used as medicine and can be used to make incense, she can't help it......
Later, Shen Qiutan also gave up, just transform, become more often, and only then can he figure out the rules.
If you master the rules and regulations, you will be able to deal with them better in the future, and even use this special ability.
Incense making can be done slowly, but it is academic, and Shen Qiutan feels that it is time to put it on the agenda.
After the New Year, she was already eleven years old.
Daning is quite open to women, and there are very few female dependents of high-ranking families who are not literate, and there are even girls wearing Hufu and riding strong horses on the street. Shen Qiutan thought that there was a rebellion in the place, and after seeing so many people along the way, the capital might also be a little depressed, but when he really saw it, he knew the prosperity of the capital.
If you want to truly integrate into the world, you have to adapt to the rules of this world, and reading books is undoubtedly a good way.
Besides, Shen Qiutan, who was barely a scholar before, really couldn't bear to live like an illiterate.
Reading and literacy is imminent, and if you still have your own strength, do you want to invite a martial arts master?
…………
This night, she dreamed again.
In the dream, the world was chaotic, and everywhere in the eye was gray and blurred.
Then, the blur gradually receded, and she saw her mother hanging the red sandalwood gourd around her neck in her previous life, telling her to wear it well, and saw her father in this life also hanging the red sandalwood card around her neck.
The original two people became one, and the two things became one.
The gourd and the jade card tried to get closer to each other, and just as they were about to get closer, they bounced away, as if they wanted each other to listen to themselves, and the differences arose, and the disputes were revealed.
The originally static surroundings suddenly swept through the wind and rain, and the gourd and the wooden sign were inseparable......
Shen Qiutan was in a daze, only feeling a feeling of tightness in his chest, and it hurt a little after being stuffy for a long time.
In the dream, it was a gourd for a while, a wooden card for a while, a father and mother for a while, and a father and mother for a while, the mess was tangled together, becoming a mess, and her head seemed to explode, she only felt muddy, painful and irritable, and her chest seemed to be really not blocked, and it hurt more and more!
"Ahem!"
Finally, Shen Qiutan woke up from his dream and coughed a few times before he got rid of the pain and discomfort in the dream.
She wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead casually, got out of bed and poured herself a glass of water, until her thirsty throat was soothed by cold water, and she felt better, so she didn't like others to be on duty at night, and this movement didn't alarm the girls.
The night was deep and a little cold, Shen Qiutan approved a moon-white plain mask, opened a corner of the window, and saw a thin crescent hanging in the sky, and the surrounding clouds were light, and he couldn't see any light.
What was the meaning of that dream?
After arriving in this world, almost all of her dreams are memories of the past of this body, and she has never had a simple "dream" in the true sense, but that ...... just now
Could it be that the parents in the previous life are unwilling to recognize the father and mother in this life? Or is it that the father and mother in this life are dissatisfied with the fact that they have occupied their daughter's body? But, shouldn't it? She really didn't feel like she had robbed someone else's body, this level of Cech seemed to be her own......
She rubbed her cold face, she should have not only lost the gourd, but also lost the jade plate, and she was a little weak and uncomfortable, so she thought about it day and night, right?
The night breeze blew, stirring the fragrance around her body, Shen Qiutan couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it for a long time, and finally fell asleep again in a daze.
