Chapter 34: Dark Incense Floating Moon Dusk
Guo Qianqian held the tea and bowed slightly: "Mother-in-law, please use tea." ”
Mrs. Han took it, but her eyes didn't look at her, and she took a few sips: "How long have you been in Han's Mansion?" ”
Guo Qianqian said timidly: "I entered the Han Mansion in June this year, and it has been almost two months now. ”
"You remember it well."
"The daughter-in-law doesn't dare not remember."
Mrs. Han paused and said, "Then you should also know that I am not very satisfied with you." ”
"Daughter-in-law...... The daughter-in-law knows. ”
Of course, Guo Qianqian knew that since she married into the Han Mansion, Mrs. Han had never looked at her squarely.
"Still." Mrs. Han lowered her head and fiddled with her cuffs, "Since Tianlei likes you, I won't say anything." ”
Guo Qianqian bit her lower lip, although she was angry, she didn't dare to speak.
"This Han family has a big business, and no matter how big or small, I have to take care of it as an old woman." Mrs. Han looked at her with scrutinizing eyes, "You are now the young lady of the Han Mansion, and it is time to share the burden for your in-laws." ”
Guo Qianqian looked up at Mrs. Han.
Mrs. Han said slowly: "The Dark Incense Pavilion is short of manpower, you can help take care of it." ”
Guo Qianqian wanted to refuse, but thinking that Mrs. Han's attitude towards her had finally changed, she reluctantly accepted the errand.
Guo Qianqian followed Mrs. Han to the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, where two maids were cleaning. Guo Qianqian recognized the two of them at a glance, the two girls who chewed the root of her tongue behind her back last time.
Xiaocui once mentioned their names, the one with pockmarks on his face is called Chunyu, and the one with two pigtails is called Qiushuang.
Chunyu and Qiushuang trembled with fear when they saw Guo Qianqian. Mrs. Han somehow thought that it was Guo Qianqian's usual suppression of the two maids that would be like this.
Mrs. Han glanced back at Guo Qianqian, but Guo Qianqian's eyes did not dodge. She is not afraid of shadows, although she does often beat and scold the maid with the identity of the master, but she really hasn't touched these two people.
That's it, Mrs. Han didn't have time to take care of these little things, so she just stepped forward to explain the matter to Chunyu and Qiushuang. Mrs. Han said that Guo Qianqian would sort out the old books on the bookshelf for a while, so that the spring rain and autumn frost must help with it, and everything would be sent by Guo Qianqian for the time being. Then Mrs. Han took the jade and pointed out the Dark Incense Pavilion.
"Why are you stunned?" Guo Qianqian's voice passed through the layers of bookshelves, "Madame said that she wanted to sort out the old books, and it was the first time I came to the Dark Incense Pavilion, so I didn't understand it very well." Usually you take care of the Dark Incense Pavilion, those are old books, it should be very clear, right? ”
Chunyu and Qiushuang first glanced at each other, and Chunyu hurriedly said: "I know very well, the young lady, please come with the slave maid." ”
Guo Qianqian followed the spring rain to the innermost part of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, and more than a dozen rows of bookshelves came into view, full of books.
"These are old books that have been handed down from our ancestors." Chunyu pointed his finger and said respectfully, "A total of one thousand six hundred and eighty-six volumes. ”
Guo Qianqian stepped forward and took out a book, opened it casually and looked at it: "How do you organize it?" ”
Qiushuang hurriedly said: "Madame said that although the book cover is old, it cannot be discarded at will, and it must be re-wrapped with brown paper." If there is any damaged paper in the book, repair it with kraft paper and paste. ”
"So much!" Xiao Cui opened her mouth wide, "Just a few of us are going to get the Year of the Monkey and the Moon!" ”
"This ...... The slaves and maids don't dare to slack off on the things assigned by the lady......" Chunyu secretly glanced at Guo Qianqian, "Even if it takes a few months, you have to do it wholeheartedly." ”
Guo Qianqian rolled her eyes, walked to the idle table and sat down: "Bring brown paper and scissors." ”
Spring Rain and Autumn Frost were stunned for a moment, and then did as they were told. Xiao Cui's face was ugly, but she had to follow along.
Guo Qianqian took out an old book from the shelf, compared the size, then cut the kraft paper, and wrapped the kraft paper on the cover of the old book with paste.
Xiaocui was grinding ink on the side, Guo Qianqian held up the old book and let Chunyu and Qiushuang read: "Is that so?" ”
"Hmm." The two maids were stunned for a moment, and then nodded violently.
Guo Qianqian put the book back on the table, picked up a pen and wrote the title on the brown paper. Spring Rain and Autumn Frost lowered their heads in shame because they had forgotten to write the title of the book just now. The brown paper covers the original cover, where do you know what the original name of this book is!
The two didn't mention it, but Guo Qianqian knew that she had to write the title of the book. When they saw Guo Qianqianjuanxiu's official book, the two maids were even more surprised.
The two thought that a rich lady like Guo Qianqian must be lazy and lazy on weekdays, and only knew how to enjoy glory and wealth, but they didn't expect that she not only did things thoroughly, but also wrote so beautifully.
Guo Qianqian put the book on the side of the table and said expressionlessly, "Where is the pestle?" Don't help me take down the old books from the shelves. ”
"Yes." Only then did the two of them come back to their senses and remove the old books from the shelves one by one.
Xiaocui helped cut the paper, Guo Qianqian wrapped the book covers one by one, and then wrote the title of the book, and Chunyu and Qiushuang put the book back in its original place. After two hours of busy work, it was time for lunch. After lunch, a few people continued to restore the old books.
Guo Qianqian opened every book to see if there were any broken pages, and when she saw any damage, she would definitely stop and repair the book. The sun shone from the corner of the house to the roof, and from the roof back to the foot of the house, and the four of them worked all day.
Guo Qianqian threw the brush on the pen rest, leaned on the table and said, "How much have you completed today?" ”
Qiushuang walked out of the middle of the bookshelf with her knees on her hands: "It should be a tenth." ”
"It's only a tenth!" Xiaocui sat slumped on the ground, "I've been busy for so long, so much." ”
"Finish work and go back to Du Ruoxuan." Guo Qianqian dragged her tired body to stand up.
Xiao Cui lazily got up from the ground and followed Guo Qianqian out of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion. After Chunyu and Qiushuang finished cleaning up the kraft paper and scissors on the table, they closed the Dark Fragrance Pavilion and went back to the maid's side room to rest.
Taking a hot bath is the happiest thing for Guo Qianqian, who has been tired all day.
Xiao Cui was sprinkling flower petals into the bathtub: "Young lady, why are you doing this?" This errand is so tiring, how can your daughter stand it! ”
Guo Qianqian didn't answer Xiaocui's words, and leaned her head on the edge of the bathtub and closed her eyes.
"You haven't suffered like this since you were a child, and you must be more tired than the maids at first glance." Xiao Cui put down the flower basket and took a square towel to scrub her shoulders, "It doesn't matter to the slave, I just can't bear to see you work so hard." ”
Guo Qianqian said slowly: "Only when you suffer hardship can you become a master." ”
Master Guo's life motto has now become Guo Qianqian's belief.
"If the young master knew that you were working so hard, he would definitely feel distressed." Xiao Cui quietly looked at Guo Qianqian, and her voice became low, "You might as well find a chance to talk to the young master, maybe, you can avoid this drudgery." ”
Guo Qianqian slowly opened her eyes and snatched the scarf from Xiaocui's hand: "It's a trivial matter, why bother him!" ”
Xiaocui watched Guo Qianqian wipe herself up, and when she heard her say this, she didn't dare to say anything more.
Han Tianlei still didn't return to the Han Mansion at the agreed time, and it was already dark when he returned to Du Ruoxuan. was ready to coax Guo Qianqian, but when she entered the room, she saw Guo Qianqian falling asleep on the bed on her side.
He walked over and gently took off his boots without making a sound. There seemed to be a mosquito "huh" call, he waved his sleeves to drive all the mosquitoes out of the bed, and then raised his hand to pull down the curtain and lay down next to her.
Closing his eyes and resting for a while, smelling the fragrance on her body, he couldn't help but get up and kiss her on the face.
Guo Qianqian moved, pushed him away as if reflexively, and continued to sleep. Looking at her delicate eyebrows and eyes, pointed but moderate face, he is like a cat eating fish, kissing while admiring the delicious food in front of him.
Guo Qianqian felt unwell, turned over, and her posture changed to lying flat. He put his hands on either side of her head and kissed her lightly on the lips, two, three, four......
Guo Qianqian closed her mouth, let out an "um" sound, and said in a milky voice: "What are you doing?" ”
He smiled and didn't reply, continuing what he had just done.
"Tomorrow night." She cupped his face in both hands, her eyes half-squinted, "It's too sleepy right now." ”
He watched as she didn't move, and she was so tired that she closed her eyes again after a while. When she unguarded, he began to "eat" her again. Her lips were fragrant and soft, and he couldn't help but invade like crazy.
She woke up again, put her arms around his neck in a haze, and began to respond to him. As the saying goes, "one slap doesn't make a sound, but two slaps reverberate." ”
Guo Qianqian tonight was both tired and excited, and she didn't remember asking Han Tianlei to go out with her during the day.
It's better not to remember, and by the way, forget about the Dark Incense Pavilion. Last time, Guo Qianqian complained to him and asked him to "clean up" the spring rain and autumn frost in the Dark Fragrance Pavilion. He pushed left and right, so that he could coax her over.
The spring rain and autumn frost in the Dark Fragrance Pavilion were the maids arranged by Master Han, how dare he "clean up" indiscriminately. If this makes Master Han unhappy, not only will he suffer, but even Guo Qianqian will be involved.
Master Han and Mrs. Han were already dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, if they knew that Guo Qianqian often blew the pillow wind to Han Tianlei, the two would definitely not be able to tolerate Guo Qianqian.
The next day, Guo Qianqian and Han Tianlei slept until the third pole of the sun. Guo Qianqian woke up and hurriedly changed her clothes and washed.
Han Tianlei was lying on the bed watching her busy: "Why are you going?" ”
"Something." She fastened her belt herself.
It stands to reason that Xiao Cui should come in to serve at this time, but Xiao Cui bumped into the two of them making love several times, so she consciously retreated. Especially when they got up in the morning, the two of them were undressed and disheveled, Xiaocui was embarrassed to go in, and always waited for Han Tianlei to go out before going in to serve.
Now that Han Tianlei is still sleeping on the bed with the quilt in his arms, Xiaocui doesn't dare to go in. Guo Qianqian got dressed and sat down in front of the dresser again, and thrush to comb her hair.
Han Tianlei held his head up to look at her with one hand, although Guo Qianqian in the mirror did not use powder, but she was also pleasing to the eye.
"My lady is so beautiful!"
"Less poor mouth." She also saw him in the mirror.
He just turned his face sideways to watch her finish her makeup. Guo Qianqian patted the broken hair on her body and was about to go out.
"Daughter-in-law." He called.
She stopped by the door, looked back at him and smiled, "What are you doing?" ”
"When are you coming back?"
Guo Qianqian's eyes scanned him from top to bottom, raised her eyebrows and said, "You didn't even go out with the plug today." ”
"Alas! How can this be called fooling around, this is called pleasuring the body and mind. ”
"Hmph, then you can continue to enjoy your body and mind." She closed the door and went out.
