Chapter 43: Lan Shuixin Zhen Jingji
Inside the screen is a beautiful couch with a small coffee table with fruits and pastries on it.
From time to time, a woman's voice could be heard inquiring.
"What kind of balm is this, I've never seen it before."
The maid was neither humble nor arrogant, kept smiling, and returned gently, "This is the balm that our host brought from the capital, and the one you are using now is the balm of roses." ”
When Lan Shuixin was pushed back to her senses by Zhen Jingji, she didn't know when she was already sitting on the couch.
Zhen Jingji smiled, "Look stupid? ”
Lan Shuixin was a little embarrassed and said, "I've never seen this kind of novel experience. ”
Zhen Jingji nodded in agreement, "Well, the decoration of this medicinal food workshop is very suitable for the mood of the people who come to eat, and presumably the dishes here will not disappoint." ”
While talking, two maids dressed in pink came to the two of them, their clothes were the same as Lu'er's clothes, holding and washing in their hands, and sprinkling jasmine in the washing, and put them on the table in front of them, and then gently put Lan Shuixin's hand into the water like a treasure, the water temperature was just right, warm, and when the hand was put in, it felt cold in the heart for a moment, and the whole person was much refreshed.
The maid gently rubbed her fingers slowly, not missing any place, Lan Shuixin was suddenly surprised, the maid opposite her fingers were very tender, so she felt unusually comfortable when her hands touched. However, the reason why the hands are so tender is at least to be finely raised since childhood, do not touch those heavy things, on her own hands she does not touch other things, on weekdays three times a day to apply balm to moisturize will have such a pair of tender hands, many ladies see her hands are praised themselves, will be a good wife of a prosperous husband in the future. So such a tender hand will only appear on the young lady of a large family, and since the girl opposite will be a maid in the medicinal food workshop, she will definitely not be a young lady, so is there any way to make her hands so tender?
Lan Shuixin looked at her friend and found that Jing Ji was also surprised, but it was fleeting.
It seems that he is not the only one who is curious.
After washing, the maid picked up the soft brocade handkerchief and gently wiped the water stains on Lan Shuixin's hands.
When preparing to apply the balm, the maid respectfully took a small box of colored glaze, opened the lid, and a light jasmine fragrance instantly came to the nose, not thick but light and comfortable taste, the maid dug out a fingernail-sized balm, gently rubbed back and forth, and slowly rubbed and absorbed into the skin on the hands of Lan Shuixin, after a stick of incense, the maid respectfully blessed and said, "Miss, you can go upstairs to eat." ”
At this time, Lu'er came over and took Lan Shuixin and the two to the second floor.
The second floor is bright, with a gentle breeze, refreshing and non-sticky, and a light fragrance of magnolia flowers, as if you are in the forest, refreshing and comfortable. Looking through the carved window, the whole medicinal kitchen is in a semi-circular shape, surrounding a towering magnolia tree in the center, the root system is thick, this tree just covers the roof of the third floor, the emerald green leaves cover the magnolia flower, presumably the air is so comfortable thanks to this tree, filtering the heat and salty moisture.
The second layer in the middle of the tree leaves some branches, and there are pear wood carvings and relief flowers hanging on it to frame the picture of the secluded residence of the cold mountain, the picture of the fishing shadow of the river fan, the picture of the stacked cui of the summer mountain, etc., which is beautiful and poetic, which is not only in line with the identity of the powerful, but also sought after by the readers, and can also satisfy the vassal elegance of the nouveau riche who do not know big words.
At this time, they have been brought into the private seat, the window on the right, through the curtain as light as a cicada, a wind chime ornament fluttering, the light sound knocking in the ears, straight into the heart, as if the heart of the layer of heat and boredom knocked away, the mood is very relaxed.
"Two young ladies, take a look, this is the dish of our medicinal food workshop." Lu'er put the two recipes in her hand in front of Lan Shuixin and the others.
Lu'er introduced, "This is our signboard, clear water and Qinghua. There are only ten copies of this one a day, and there is only one left today. Its main curative effect is to alleviate qi deficiency, malaise, and loss of appetite. ”
When Zhen Jingji heard this, she nodded, "Okay, give us a copy of this." ”
Lu'er responded, "Yes." ”
Lan Shuixin ordered the medicinal pork ribs and eight treasures soup on the recipe, "What is the effect of this water hibiscus?" ”
"The effect of this water hibiscus is to beautify the skin, replenish qi and blood......"
Lan Shuixin understood, "Here's a copy." ”
"And this, this ......"
After Lu'er left, Lan Shuixin looked around carefully and looked at it quietly. Suddenly, her eyes were shining, and she said excitedly, "Look at it, that picture of Jiang Fan Yuxun is a masterpiece of the contemporary Confucian Xun Yu Xun Confucian, and it is worth a thousand gold." Also, look at the Xia Shan stacked cui map, don't look at the technique is a little immature and can't be compared with Xun Daru, but if you look at the inscription, it is the work of Xun Yu, the four princes of the popular Qi, which is also incomparable to many literati and scholars. ”
Zhen Jingji raised her eyes with her right hand and cheeks, "According to what you say, the owner of this medicinal food workshop is indeed not small, and these paintings are also difficult to buy." ”
Lan Shuixin nodded, "I'll talk to my father when I go back, I've been talking about Xun Daru all day long, Xun Daru, and I'll let him come and see if I change Ming'er." Lest I keep talking at home, and my ears are calloused. ”
Zhen Jingji poured a cup of flower tea and said with a smile, "Then you have to be mentally prepared, Teacher Lan may run here every day without going home." ”
Lan Shuixin took a sip of tea gently, reminiscing about the fragrance of flowers, and looked satisfied, "I still can't wait, you don't know, if this academy doesn't open, I won't have a comfortable day." You don't know, every day, you look, you see, I look like I'm smeared with green daisy right now. Fingers tapped the bags under her eyes, and Lan Shuixin smiled wryly.
Zhen Jingji laughed and gloated, "School will start in January." You boil slowly. ”
Lan Shuixin shook her head and sighed, "I can only boil it, I can't help it." Still hello, relaxed. Zhen Jingji's eyebrows twisted slightly, and she sighed, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and my family is not as good as yours." ”
"What's wrong? That hasn't been resolved yet? ”
Zhen Jingji shook her head, "That woman comes to make trouble every day when my father is not at home, my mother is so angry that she has a headache, and the doctor has to visit the doctor every three or four days, and the medicine has not stopped." ”
Lan Shuixin was angry, "What kind of person is this, otherwise let people send them away." ”
"No, she's pregnant, otherwise, my mother wouldn't be angry." Zhen Jingji was helpless.
Angry and tired, these days, my mother has a lot of gray hair.
"Now, not only can't you touch her, but you have to make offerings."
Lan Shuixin shook her head, "Compared to your family, I'm nothing." By the way, will your dad let that woman in? ”
Zhen Jingji frowned, "I don't know, after all, it's my father's flesh and blood, and now it's me and my younger brother at home, and my father ......" The old man has a son, and he may not be willing to let him be left behind.
