Chapter 34: Meet in the Bamboo Forest
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the reborn little widow of the farmer's gate!
The pig killer had sent a lot of pig pancreas before, and the Sun family had already washed the dirty blood and oil on it, and kept it soaked in the cold well water, but because Qi Zhen didn't pour out the air today, he put the matter aside.
Now Qi Zhen doesn't want to and doesn't dare to share a room with Lian Su anymore, so it is better to hurry up and make the pig pancreas into milk soap, so that there can be one more thing to sell in Yuyan Pavilion.
The night breeze was cool, and the yard was the same as their home in Dawan Village, and an osmanthus tree was planted, but this osmanthus tree was not as lush as the branches and leaves of the Lian family, and it was not yet the flowering season.
The leaves made a rattling sound, Qi Zhen went to the barn to bring out the wooden basin soaked in the pig's pancreas, erected a huge stone slab in the yard, took the pig's pancreas and put it on it, and beat it again and again with a wooden stick.
In fact, milk soap can also be made from the juice of soaphorn, but soaphorn hurts hands a little, and the skin is always dry and astringent when washing hands, not as smooth as pig pancreas, so Qi Zhen would rather put a little effort into it, and also want to make a comfortable good thing to use.
Pounded a pot of pig pancreas into a white paste, Qi Zhen added the soybean flour that had been prepared long ago, as well as ground spices and 'primers', and then poured the boiled milk into it, stirring constantly, the milk was processed by Qi Zhen in advance, not only did not have that unpleasant smell, but also revealed a faint smell of frankincense, which did not smell pungent at all.
After stirring evenly, Qi Zhen poured these pastes into wooden boxes, this wooden box was carved by Qi Zhen specially found a carpenter before, all of them were in the shape of peony flowers, and after these milk soaps were moved to the warehouse to dry, they were then pulled out, just like milky white peony flowers, these ladies and ladies in Beijing liked it very much, and it was also the fastest selling thing in Yuyanfang.
It didn't take long for Qi Hao to make milk soap, but now it was not early, so she went back to the room directly, took a hasty bath, and rested.
Before falling asleep in a daze, Qi Zhen was afraid that Lian Su's conscienceless bastard would take advantage of the night to touch her room, but tonight Qi Zhen was worried in vain, she slept until dawn, and Lian Su did not step into her room half a step, but changed her temperament and became much more honest.
It was fifteen in a flash, and Qi Zhen had just gotten up this morning, and before she finished washing, she heard Ziru's footsteps hurriedly come in to report.
"Boss, Mrs. Liao has arrived."
Mrs. Liao is Zhou Qinghe, when she heard that she came so early today, Qi Zhen was obviously a little stunned, she dipped her fingertips in a little crystal clear pale pink cream and smeared it on her face, because she had just washed her face, Qi Zhen's skin looked fairer than usual, like cow's milk.
Ziru bit her lip, a trace of jealousy crossed her eyes, and she didn't dare to let Qi Hao find out, so she quickly lowered her head, and couldn't help but feel a little hatred in her heart, why did Qi Hao have such a good life, obviously she was a widow, and she killed her original husband, her life was very hard, and now she has such a profitable shop in her hands, and she has a good skin, God is really unfair.
Qi Hao guessed a little bit of Zhou Qinghe's intention at this moment, and didn't dare to delay at all, and said to Ziru:
"Hurry up and invite Mrs. Liao in."
Hearing this, Ziru answered, turned around and walked out, and after a while, she took Zhou Qinghe to Qi Hao's bedroom.
Zhou Qinghe came to Qi Zhen's room for the first time, although this bedroom is not big, but it is very neatly tied, and there is a faint fragrance as soon as he walks in, I don't know if it is the fragrance of flowers on the table, or there are other spices in the room itself.
"Yo, you're very idle, you don't wake up until three o'clock in the morning, have you forgotten what day it is?"
Seeing that Ziru was still standing on the side, Qi Zhen had already raised a little guard against the maid now, and said:
"Ziru, I can't say that there are no guests in front of me, you go and help the Sun family."
Where are the guests coming from this early morning? Ziru also knew that Qi Hao was deliberately supporting her, but she was just a minion, even if she was not happy in her heart, she had to honestly obey her master's orders.
Holding her breath, Ziru blessed the two girls in the room and turned to leave.
Zhou Qinghe looked at Ziru's slender back, frowned, and said to Qi Zhen, who was sitting in front of the bronze mirror:
"You don't seem to be as well-behaved as you used to be."
"It's that people change, it's because I'm too used to Ziru before, so I raised her heart, and I'll wait until I pour out my efforts to solve this matter."
Hearing that Qi Zhen knew in her heart, Zhou Qinghe was relieved, she was born in a high-ranking family, and she has seen many big-hearted maids since she was a child.
Walking in front of the bronze mirror in a few steps, Zhou Qinghe pressed Qi Zhen's shoulders with both hands, even through a thin layer of clothing, she could still easily feel the greasy touch of her hands.
The woman in the mirror looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen, her apricot eyes are full of water, revealing the charm of a girl and the charm of a young woman, her red lips are plump and delicate, making people want to take a bite when they look at it, such a delicate woman, if she is not from a farmer's household, Zhou Qinghe really thinks that Qi Zhen will be a lady in the capital, after all, it is not a simple matter to raise such a delicate jade person.
"You haven't forgotten what I came here for, have you?"
Qi Zhen was putting rose rouge on her lips, and when she heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said:
"Sister Zhou bothered me so much, how dare I forget it?"
Zhou Qinghe snorted, raised his chin high, and said:
"It's good that you haven't forgotten, anyway, I'll go up the mountain with you to incense today, and when the time comes, I'll point out the Zhao guard to you, if you look at it, just talk to him in private, don't get too close, otherwise it's not good for your reputation."
This man, all of them are cheap bones, if the woman takes the initiative to paste it, they will think that this woman is cheap and coquettish and shameless, but once it is too far away, they will think that the woman is pretending to be high, plus Qi Zhen has been married once before, Zhou Qinghe is always at ease with her, for fear that Zhao Heng will look down on Zhen Zhen.
The worry in the woman's eyes was clear, she put down Qingdai, held Zhou Qinghe's hand, and said with a smile:
"Sister Zhou, don't worry, even if Guard Zhao is young and promising, but I don't have to him, I just went to see him today, and I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet."
It just so happened that Qi Zhen had already packed up, she was wearing a water-red gown today, and her little face was as delicate as flower petals, revealing a coquettish smile at the moment, and her voice was thin and soft, revealing a bit of squeamishness.
Hearing the sound of the conversation inside, the resentment in the eyes of the person who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping became stronger, and he gritted his teeth and turned away from the door.
With a roar of explanation to the Sun family, the two girls got into the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, Qi Zhen didn't plan to bring Ziru with her today, otherwise once this maid leaked any rumors from her mouth, it would not be a good thing for her.
Lian Su, who was eating breakfast in the kitchen, heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, frowned, and asked Sun:
"Where's the hostess?"
A pair of tiger eyes on Liansu, Sun only felt that his legs were weak with fright, this boss's little uncle really deserved to have fought on the battlefield, his momentum was far more comparable, only the cold eyes swept over, which made Sun's legs and stomach cramp, and swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva in succession, and then opened his mouth tremblingly:
"The proprietress went to Huguo Temple to offer incense."
At this moment, Ziru happened to come in from outside, and as soon as Sun saw her, he subconsciously frowned and asked:
"Where have you been, how did you come back from outside?"
Ziru's eyes flashed, looking at Lian Su who was sitting at the table eating, her cheeks were slightly red, and she said:
"I want to eat the ravioli sold outside."
"It's all this now, the wontons have already been closed, you can have to be early next time."
Ziru nodded again and again, she couldn't take care of the Sun family at all, she looked at Lian Su with a blank look, and walked to the man's side step by step, clenching the handkerchief with both hands, and looking like a little daughter-in-law with shame.
Lian Su didn't want to look at Ziru at all, he only felt that this woman was as annoying as a fly, he frowned, ate the pancake in a few bites, and went directly back to his room.
Thinking of what she had just done, Ziru was secretly happy in her heart, as long as there was no stumbling block for the boss, would adults be able to see her? Her appearance is not much worse than that of the proprietress, if she can use the grease of Yuyanfang to carefully raise it little by little in the future, it won't be long before she can be as delicate as a flower bone, where can she not compare to the old woman Qi Zhen?
Lian Su has just returned to Beijing for less than half a month, and he still has half a month of vacation, so he doesn't have to be on duty recently, and after the rest is over, he has to go to Beizhen Fusi to be on duty.
One of the two children of the Lian family went to the school, and the other went to the husband's house, and it was not interesting for Lian Su to be at home alone.
His mind was full of Qi Zhen's woman, every look and every smile in her eyes appeared in her mind, thinking of the woman's attractive appearance, Lian Su secretly gritted his teeth, only felt that she would not be honest when she went to Huguo Temple to incense today.
After turning this thought in his heart, Lian Su couldn't sit still anymore, hurriedly stood up, and walked out directly.
As soon as the door was opened, Ziru, the maid, was standing outside the door, she glanced up at Lian Su, her little face was blushing, her slender body trembled slightly, and she said incoherently:
"My lord, the slave and maid really love the adult, and please accept the slave and maid."
As she spoke, Ziru reached out tremblingly to untie the tie around her waist, she wore a purple skirt today, and as soon as the tie was untied, the dress fell to the ground, revealing the woman's snow-white shoulders and pale belly pockets.
Looking at the disheveled woman in front of him, Lian Suying's eyes were dark and deep, but there was no trace of desire, as if the person standing in front of him was not a woman, but a piece of carrion.
Ziru's face suddenly turned pale, and her heart gradually sank, but since she had already chosen this path, there was no other way.
ruthless, Ziru directly ripped off the last bit of cover on her body, and then wanted to hug the man's thin waist as if she was in her arms, but she was kicked in the stomach by the man.
Lian Su's strength was extremely strong, and this kick was merciless, and he actually directly hit Ziru on the opposite pillar, making a bang. Ziru hugged her stomach in pain, her head was full of cold sweat, her face was blue, she squatted on the ground and let out a scream like killing a pig, Sun was originally looking at the shop in front, but at this moment he heard the sound and rushed over, seeing the naked Ziru, Sun was startled, and even couldn't say anything, and stammered:
"My lord, what's going on?"
Lian Su didn't look at Ziru, his voice was as cold as ice ballast in the winter moon, and the stinging Sun couldn't help but shiver.
"This maid will be sold directly."
After speaking, Lian Su strode out of the backyard, led a horse, and rushed to the direction of Huguo Temple.
Hearing Lian Su's words, Sun is not a fool, where would he not understand what is going on? She looked at Ziru, who fell to the ground as if she had lost half her life, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
In the end, Sun gritted his teeth, first dressed Ziru, then closed the shop and went to the main street to hire a doctor.
Sun is also a mother, and she is a little soft-hearted towards everyone, she knows that if she doesn't ask for a doctor, Ziru may die today, even if this person makes a big mistake, he will not die of a crime!
Thinking so, Sun invited the doctor to Ziru's room.
Lian Su's speed of riding a horse is naturally much faster than that of a carriage, but there are a lot of people on the main street, and it is not allowed to run a horse in the capital.
Fortunately, Qi Zhen and the others didn't set off too early, and as soon as they left the city gate, the man saw the carriage of Liao's mansion.
Inevitably startled the snake, Lian Su has been keeping a distance from the carriage, and the same is true when he goes up the mountain, far behind the two women, today is fifteen, there are many female dependents who come to Huguo Temple to incense, and there are many men, after all, the marriage sign of Huguo Temple is still very spiritual, and its reputation is far and wide, and it is not surprising that there are more young men and women.
Qi Hao didn't notice that there were people following behind him all the time, and when she thought that she would be able to see that Zhao Heng Zhao guard later, even if Qi Hao lived for two lifetimes, she couldn't help but feel a little shy about her daughter's family in her heart.
I heard that the Zhao guard is a good person who values love and righteousness, and has been guarding his deceased wife, if it weren't for his mother forcing him to break up, I am afraid that this Zhao guard would not be able to look at him in his turn.
Zhou Qinghe looked at Qi Hao's slightly flushed little face and quipped:
"Are we shy?"
Qi Zhen glared at Zhou Qinghe and didn't speak, but her moist eyes revealed her thoughts, Zhou Qinghe also came from the girl's house, even if she has a good relationship with her husband now, she knows how uneasy a woman will be before she gets married.
"My Zhenzhen, just with your appearance, my sister guarantees, then the Zhao guards will definitely not even move their eyes when they see you."
Qi Zhen is confident in her appearance, but she has a kind of indescribable awkwardness in her heart, today she came to Huguo Temple not to enter the incense, but to have a private meeting with a man, if this matter is known by Lian Su, Qi Zhen is really afraid that the bastard will eat her alive.
Walking to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Qi Zhen restrained the messy thoughts in his heart, knelt on the pale yellow futon, and kowtowed respectfully to the Buddha three times.
She was tortured to death by the old eunuch in her last life, and she was blessed by the Buddha so that she could have a chance to live again, how could Qi Zhen not cherish it?
Please bless the Buddha and let Lian Boyuan and Lian Zhongqi go smoothly and live a long life...... Please also bless Lian Su.
Qi Hao's feelings for Lian Su are very complicated, on the one hand, she is disgusted with this man's indifference to her three or four times, as if she is a woman who can be played with casually, on the other hand, Qi Zhen's heart is full of guilt, Lian Su's death in the previous life is inseparable from her, every time Qi Zhen faces the man's tiger eyes, she will involuntarily feel a little weak.
Fortunately, Lian Su didn't know what she had done in her previous life, otherwise with that man's temperament that would be retribution, Qi Zhen was afraid that she would have no way to live.
After the incense, Zhou Qinghe leaned close to Qi Zhen's ear and said:
"You go to the bamboo forest in the back, Guard Zhao is wearing a lake-blue dress today, he is very tall and handsome, you can see him at a glance."
Hearing this, Qi Zhen suddenly hesitated in her heart, as if she had roots on her feet, and she couldn't take a step, Zhou Qinghe saw this, and quickly pushed the woman's shoulder, Qi Zhen came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and walked in the direction of the bamboo forest.
Qi Zhen of Huguo Temple has been here a few times before, so he naturally knows how to go in the direction of the bamboo forest.
The woman walked on the cobblestone path, on both sides were tall and delicate green bamboos, with a faint bamboo fragrance, and sometimes the breeze blew, blowing off a few bamboo leaves, and falling on Qi Zhen's shoulders.
There are some female dependents in the bamboo forest, and the Huguo Temple is very lively today, and there are many guests who enter the incense, so Zhou Qinghe is not afraid of what will happen to Qi Zhen when he goes to the bamboo forest alone.
Walking to the depths of the bamboo forest, Qi Hao finally saw a man wearing lake blue clothes, standing in a pavilion, looking from a distance, although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could also see that he was a man with wide shoulders and a tall body.
Qi Zhen got closer, and Zhao Heng, who was standing in the pavilion, naturally saw her, and there was a hint of inconspicuous joy in his eyes.
Just as Zhou Qinghe guessed, Zhao Heng had seen Qi Zhen once before, and he had thought about this rare beauty at that time, but he didn't dare to speak out for some reason, and when his mother forced him to be helpless, Zhao Heng missed a little bit.
Qi Zhen blessed Zhao Heng's body, and did not take the lead in speaking, but lowered his head, revealing his slender and white neck.
Zhao Heng is not a hairy boy who has never tasted the taste of a woman, and naturally knows that kind of woman is the most comfortable to eat in his mouth. As soon as Qi Zhen approached, he smelled the faint fragrance on the woman's body, which seemed to be the fragrance of flowers, but Zhao Heng couldn't say exactly what kind of words, he only felt that it seemed to be nothing, which was very attractive.
Looking at Qi Hao carefully, the man only felt that his palm was itchy in his eyes, and he wanted to touch the woman's skin if it was as smooth as he imagined, but Zhao Heng was still polite, knowing that the two of them were now undecided, it was not good to directly surprise Qi Hao.
"Miss Qi."
Hearing the man's voice, Qi Hao raised his head, glanced at Zhao Heng, and saw the man's appearance clearly.
What Zhou Qinghe said was true, Zhao Heng was indeed handsome, with sharp eyebrows, straight nose and square mouth, standing in front of Qi Hao, his eyebrows revealed a bit of righteousness.
However, Qi Zhen only saw Zhao Heng at this time, and he didn't know much about this man's character, so he couldn't stick it shamelessly because this person was the Imperial Forest Army, if she was too eager, I was afraid that Zhao Heng would look down on her.
"Miss Qi has been walking for a long time, let's sit down and rest first."
If you want to go to Huguo Temple to enter the incense, you have to walk a long mountain road, Qi Zhen walked all the way, and now it is summer again, even if she applied a lot of streamers before going out, now she can't help but see sweat on her body, and her cheeks are slightly red.
Qi Zhen is not a hypocritical person, she sat directly on the stone bench, because she was not familiar with Zhao Heng, Qi Hao did not take the initiative to speak, but did she look at the man with watery apricot eyes, her eyes were clear and innocent.
Zhao Heng was a little moved by Qi Zhen's eyes, and only felt that the woman in front of him didn't seem to be married at all, compared to those fifteen or sixteen little girls, she was tender, like dew-stained petals, which caused Zhao Heng to be eager to pick.
"Zhao had seen Miss Qi once from afar before, and Miss Qi's appearance has always been engraved in Zhao's heart, and today I can meet again in Huguo Temple, and Zhao is really grateful in my heart."
Qi Zhen's small mouth opened slightly, and there was a hint of surprise on her face.
"Lord Zhao has ever seen me? When was it and how I don't remember? ”
Zhao Heng smiled, seeing that Qi Zhen was not as restrained as just now, and the whole person was a lot fresher, he was quite proud in his heart, and said:
"Zhao knew that Miss Qi and Mrs. Liao were friends, and when I passed by the main street that day, I happened to see Miss Qi send Mrs. Liao out of Yuyanfang, so I only met once."
Hearing this, Qi Hao didn't recall it, after all, Zhou Qinghe would come to Yuyan Fang every once in a while, and Qi Hao sent her out a lot of times, so where did she think about it?
Qi Hao smiled lightly, her apricot eyes narrowed slightly, her little face was as smooth as jade, Zhao Heng was stunned, and she stared at Qi Hao rudely for a while, forgetting to look away.
Fortunately, Zhao Heng still had some self-control, and quickly reacted, coughing lightly to hide his embarrassment.
The time to come out today is not short, Qi Zhen was afraid that Lian Su would be suspicious, and when the time came, he would come up with other moths, so he said:
"Lord Zhao, it's not too early, I'll go back first."
Hearing this, Zhao Heng's eyes showed a trace of regret, and he couldn't tell whether Qi Zhen was satisfied with him, but the woman in front of him had lost her husband early, and she hadn't remarried for more than three years, so she shouldn't be in a hurry, as long as she worked a little harder, she would definitely be able to get what she wanted and get the beauty back.
"Then Zhao sent Miss Qi back?"
Qi Zhen shook her head and refused, after leaving the bamboo forest, there were not a few pilgrims coming and going, if she was seen by acquaintances, Qi Zhen would not be easy to explain.
