Chapter 104: The Preliminary Settlement of Dust (Part 2)
"I'm so sorry, miss, I can't even pour you a glass of water here... It's all due to my negligence..." Caiyun would rub her hands when she became nervous, lowered her head, and her face turned red like a ripe shrimp, and whispered. Apologize to Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan retracted his hand and spoke to stop her embarrassment: "From now on, you will also be a girl from Lengxiang Pavilion, so you don't need to call yourself a slave anymore. I will ask people to change some household utensils for you. In the past few days, you have nothing to do. Just stay in your own room, don't run around or see people around, get up early every day and go to my room to take orders." After making brief and important arrangements, Shen Yuan stood up and prepared to leave. Her eyes felt sore and uncomfortable, and her head felt dizzy. I'm afraid I have a bad cold.
"Also," she paused in front of the door, "remember, when talking to others, don't rub your hands together. It's very ugly."
"Yes." Caiyun bowed her body and agreed, and escorted Shen Yuan to the door. After receiving the words, she went back, closed the door, took off her shoes and went to bed, hugging her knees and not knowing what to do next.
After returning to the room, Feiyun and Feiyue were not there. Shen Yuan put down the stove. Feeling dizzy, he picked up the small kettle in the thermos box, poured a full cup of hot water, and drank half the cup while blowing on it. Feiyun heard the knock on the door here, put down her work and hurried over, helped her pick the beaded flowers, changed her soft shoes and clothes, and went to bed.
Shen Yuan didn't put up the quilt to cover up the heat, and asked Feiyun to bring a thin blanket and cover him. He leaned against the soft pillow on the bed and slouched. He complained that he was not thinking clearly yesterday and gave the cloak to Guanying. He refused to put on new clothes before talking to her, so he froze for half the night. If it started to get hot again, he would be in serious trouble.
What was he thinking at that time... Shen Yuan closed his eyes, thinking about the situation at that time.
At that time, she went out and went to the kitchen to ask Feiyun to go back and find clothes. She asked the old woman to boil water and fill food boxes. She gave Guanying food, wiped her body and changed clothes, and drank some soup. After she had packed up, Guanying still hadn't woken up. , she couldn't help it, and went over to touch Guanying's hand. It was cold, even colder than a person with a cold body like her. She remembered Guanying's eyes before, staring straight at her cloak. She suddenly He moved his hands, took off his cloak and covered Guanying, asked his mother-in-law to bring a stool, and stayed in the hut to wait.
Feiyun originally wanted to dissuade her, but Shen Yuan's face was gloomy and he just raised his hand to signal Feiyun not to interrupt. Feiyun said to go back and get another one, but Shen Yuan didn't seem to hear it and asked his mother-in-law to move a stool for them. Both of you should go out, no unauthorized entry is allowed...
"Girl, girl?" Feiyun's voice floated over with a spicy sweetness. Shen Yuan didn't know whether he was lost in thought or dizzy, but he didn't realize that Feiyun had gone and returned again and again. He returned a large bowl of thick ginger soup: "Girl, drink it quickly before going to sleep. When you wake up, I will call for the doctor."
"No need, I'll just take a nap." Shen Yuan slowly drank the ginger soup, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Feiyun wiped it with her handkerchief, then looked for vinegar to smoke it, and then remembered to use it. She rejected the towel and hot compress, saying that she would go and reply to the pavilion master first. Caiyun was willing to make flower cards, and she would personally train him.
After dismissing Feiyun, Shen Yuan touched the double-snail bun on her head. It was indeed combed high enough and did not affect her rest. She lay on her side holding the blanket, thinking vaguely about how to train her. Lengxiang Courtesan has never been a long-term person. , and I have always been too lazy to meddle in my own business. Now I have taken a job for myself. No matter how headache I feel, I have to think carefully about finishing it.
I'm seventeen years old, what kind of skills can I learn? To be an ordinary flower card player, you don't need any music, chess, calligraphy or painting. It's nothing more than dancing and singing. If you're better, you can learn some piano skills, understand some tea art, and it's better to know some poetry. Book, don’t make people laugh by opening your mouth...
Shen Yuan remembered one thing. When Guanying got her start, she relied on the Yueqin. Before that, she had nothing outstanding except for her beauty. The master of the pavilion said that Guanying learned it from the luthier who had colluded with her, and she would hold it whenever she could. I practiced the piano diligently, but in just a few months, my piano skills improved by leaps and bounds and even reached perfection.
It can be seen from this that if this person is forced to a certain extent, he will suffer all kinds of hardships. Caiyunzhi and Guanying must have resentment, but they can hold back in order to seek protection. Such a temperament is also in line with Shen Yuan's Thoughts. She could not help but think of Qiu Xiao, who had been reluctant in every possible way when she first came in. She was unwilling in every possible way, but still bowed her head to the food and clothing.
Qiu Xiao? Once upon a time, when Qiu Xiao was in full bloom, wasn't it the dance that made Mo Jing famous? Shen Yuan suddenly became excited, making Fei Yun almost become jealous.
"Girl...does this smell too strong?"
Feiyun awkwardly held a vinegar bottle. When Shen Yuan was lost in thought, she actually went to get thick old vinegar, poured it into a copper basin and smoked it. The whole room was immediately filled with a choking smell.
"Quickly, get out quickly...cough..." Shen Yuan was choked and immediately waved his hand to Feiyun to deal with it quickly, opened the window for ventilation, and pulled a thick quilt and covered it tightly.
Feiyun hurriedly took away the vinegar basin as instructed, opened the two windows, and knelt beside the bed with a fan, constantly driving away the smell of vinegar. Her face flushed with anxiety, and she kept saying that she was wrong. Shen Yuan did not want to inhale this smell. , covered his mouth and nose with the quilt and said vaguely, "This is no exception."
It took a while for the smell to dissipate. Shen Yuan asked Fei Yun to empty the vinegar basin. He stayed in the kitchen and personally made the freshly made Pian'erchuan for her as an apology. It was not allowed to collapse. It must be cooked until it becomes tender. The meat slices must be fresh enough, the pickled vegetables must be stir-fried to bring out the fragrance, and enough winter bamboo shoots must be added. The bamboo shoots must be cut as thin as paper.
It would take half an hour to complete such a trivial matter... Shen Yuan's thoughts were off-track again, and they were extremely off-center. Just now, Feiyun managed to find a way to reply, saying that the lady of the pavilion knew about it and had told the people below to return. The rest is up to the lady.
It's all up to her, so just let Caiyun stay in the backyard and continue to be a rough girl, so as to save herself the trouble and trouble - Shen Yuan was so jealous that his brain hurt, as if there was a needle poking at the back of his head. She also began to think wildly. She felt that she must have gone out to blow the wind in the morning, which caused this indiscriminate torment.
It's great. She just had an idea and was run away by the smell of vinegar. Now she needs to work hard to get it back. Xu Xu has explained so much and just wants Feiyun to stay outside for a while.
Fortunately, Shen Yuan felt less dizzy after all the fuss. After closing the window, the room became warm again. She quickly threw away the thick quilt, fanned the wind with her hands, and thought about it quickly.
It seems that he was thinking of Xiao Xiao in the autumn, and of his stunning dance on the Chinese Valentine's Day night. At that time, the court lady was drinking with the young master named Li in front of the flowers under the moonlight, but he also heard the wind and knew about the good times ahead. I heard that the dance was extremely Beautiful, with a sudden appearance, it looks like a celestial being, with four heads entangled, and the fragrance is colorless.
