Chapter 20 There is someone outside
Back in the yard, Liao's mother had prepared hot water. As soon as Qin Yunuan came in, she brought a hot tea. Qin Baochuan obediently listened to Qin Yunuan's words all afternoon and had never left the yard. He had been practicing writing big letters in the room. He had written a thick bunch and put it next to Qin Yunuan's embroidery rack, waiting. Qin Yunuan came to check.
The white curls of hot tea wrapped around Qin Yunuan's cheeks, which made Qin Yunuan's cheeks gradually become red, and her heart seemed to warm up.
"Three girls, I did everything according to your words," Liao's mother truthfully reported the situation in the afternoon. "At noon, I specially took out your makeup box to bask in the sun and get rid of mildew. In the evening, I said that the jade bracelet left by my aunt was missing. Because it was lost in the yard, everyone's room must It had to be searched, and finally came out of Fusheng's room in front of everyone," he said and whispered, "Now, Fusheng is locked in the empty house in the backyard."
Qin Yunuan frowned, "Didn't you say that you would leave it directly to your mother?" Qin Yunuan is a little puzzled, but she knows that Liao's mother has always been a reasonable person. If it is unfounded, she will not go against her will.
"It's a gift," Liao's mother said in a little embarrassment, "but at that time, the eldest girl suddenly had such a big thing. When the maid went to Cuixuan Courtyard to report, she was stopped by the doorkeeper's mother and said that her wife was in a bad mood, but this delay was crooked." After saying that, Liao's mother took out a round and white bead from her waist and said to Qin Yunuan, "This is what the maidservant came back to ask Fusheng and fell from her. Looking at her look at that time, she seemed to be very nervous about this bead."
Qin Yunuan paused and still took this bead. This is a full and superior pearl in the East China Sea. In her previous life, Qin Yunuan had seen this pearl when she decorated for Sima Ruixiu as the crowned prince. Except for Dongqin, no such a fine pearl can be produced anywhere else.
"It's the pearl of Dongqin," Qin Yunuan muttered to herself. These eight achievements are the pearls given by Su Chenghai to Qin Yun's makeup. Qin Yun's makeup rewards his servants is really well-deserved. It seems that this Fusheng is not only Dou Qing's eyeliner, but also has also done a lot of things for Qin Yun's makeup in private. Otherwise, he will not get Qin Yun's makeup. With the big reward, he may have just been lifted by the fragrance of tea. Qin Yunuan sniffed hard and asked Liao's mother, "Mom, what kind of tea did you make today? It smells particularly fragrant and smells good.
Liao's mother was stunned and replied, "Isn't it the usual green tea? The three girls have been drinking for a good time.
"That's strange." Qin Yunuan sniffed carefully beside the tea cup, but the warm and fragrant taste was much lighter. It seemed that it was really not the fragrance of tea.
Seeing this, Liao's mother just smiled and said, "The third girl's sense of smell and memory since childhood is better than that of ordinary people. Maybe she smells the flowers and incense in other yards."
"How can I have such a smart nose," Qin Yunuan smiled and turned her head, but happened to see the pearl at hand. In doubt, she pinched the pearl to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and her eyes suddenly became solemn. "Mother Liao, bring all the spices in our room."
"The three girls want to use spices," Liao's mother was a little surprised. "Those are only used until the lady and the eldest girl come. Why don't I ask Dashi to go to the market to bring some white plum blossoms for the three girls tomorrow?"
Dou Qing'e and Qin Yun makeup rarely come to Qin Yunuan's yard. They dislike Qin Yunuan's remoteness and dusty smell here. It is the habit of Qin Yunuan to save money and prepare some fine spices when Dou Qing'e comes. Nowadays, Qin Yunuan can't control so much.
"Mom, just take it, I don't need it."
In fact, Qin Yunuan has always had doubts. Roughly speaking, Shangguan Yi secretly sent spices to frame Qin Yun makeup because she became a scapegoat, so she secretly sent spices to frame her. When Qin Yun makeup really felt uncomfortable because of these spices on her face, and then Qin Yuwan was punished. The whole thing was smooth and natural, without dripping, but among them, she ignored the most basic question. Question, that's time.
It's only two or three days from the day Qin Yun makeup came back from the palace to today. No matter how powerful the fragrance is, it will take at least seven or eight days to take effect. Isn't it too strange that it has such an effect in just three days?
"Three girls, the spices are all here." Liao's mother put the sealed wooden box containing spices on the table one by one for Qin Yunuan to select and check.
Each small box is just a big fist, and there are not many spices, but there are many varieties. After Qin Yunuan opened them one by one and smelled them carefully, she repeated the news uncertainly. Liao's mother has been carefully accompanying her. It was not until Qin Yunuan was so smoked by this pile of spices that she couldn't distinguish the smell that she quickly brought tea. He asked, "Three girls, how's it going?"
"I'm sure it's right," Qin Yunuan held the pearl and said for sure, "This pearl has been soaked in white sandalwood."
White sandalwood is a kind of sandalwood, which is more expensive and fragrant than other sandalwood. It has no pungent and choking taste of ordinary spices, and it also has certain medicinal value.
Infection of spices on pearls has become a popular use in recent years, making the already dazzling pearls have a silky aroma, which is more popular with powerful women.
Can be biased...
Qin Yunuan frowned and everything is compatible with each other. You know, gel and white sandalwood cannot be used together. When the two are mixed, white sandalwood is like a catalyst, maximizing the side effects of gel.
This pearl... was sent by Su Chenghai!
Does he know the white sandalwood on it? If you know, is it intentional or unintentional to send makeup to Qin Yun? And why did he fall into the well today? Is it true that the main black hand is him, and he is eager to find someone to cushion his back? No, he and Qin Yun makeup have been reunited for a long time. There are no contradictions and interests at all. Why bother to take such a big circle to hurt Qin Yun makeup's appearance?
Why, this cousin has made herself have so many doubts in just two days, and she actually can't understand this person more and more.
Liao's mother saw that Qin Yunuan was a little distracted and gently called out, asking for instructions, "Three girls, what should Fusheng do?"
Qin Yunuan's deep pupils slowly bloomed with a trace of shrewdness. "Now my mother is annoyed, so I don't have to cause trouble to my mother, but the punishment still needs to be punished," Qin Yunuan squeezed the corners of her mouth. "Now my second sister has been punished to think behind closed doors, and there are fewer intimate people around her. This blessed life is not learned. How many years of Yue opera? Just send it to my second sister's yard, which is also my best as a sister.
An image that wants to monitor yourself and slander Baochuan in every way now, it happens to make you fight inside.
After hearing this, Liao's mother was stunned, and then just looked at Qin Yunuan with admiring and surprised eyes. Now the third girl seems to have been reborn. She knows the third girl best. The third girl is very smart, but she has been hiding in the past. Now the third girl has learned how to protect herself with tricks. Liao's mother It's too late to be happy.
"Mother Liao, what's wrong?" Qin Yunuan turned her head and asked.
"It's okay," Liao's mother quickly bowed and said, "I'll do it right away." Now that her girl is fighting, she can't humiliate her girl.
Liao's mother was very efficient. The next morning, she sent Fusheng to Qin Yuwan's yard. When she came back to report, Qin Baochuan was taking a cold shower in the yard under the supervision of Qin Yunuan. These two days were just the time when the snow melted, which was colder than snow. Ordinary people couldn't wait to be lazy to hide in the house to make yellow soup for warmth. The old child clenched his teeth and insisted in the yard.
"Can you still hold on? You can't just say it directly." Qin Yunuan's tone was firm and unquestionable, with a little majesty. Although her heart was also heartbroken, her eyes were not relaxed at all. In her previous life, she protected Qin Baochuan too much and developed Qin Baochuan's timid nature. Although Qin Yuwan was temporarily under house arrest this time, without Qin Yuwan's slander, there will be others. The best way is to hone Qin Baochuan's perseverance from now on.
"Yes," Qin Baochuan gritted his teeth, and his little arms and face were frozen red, but his expression was extremely serious. "Sister, continue to pour cold water. Baochuan is not cold at all. As my sister said, the sky will be entrusted to the people. He must first work hard and strain his body and skin. This little training is nothing. ."
Baochuan's sensibleness made Qin Yuuan a little moved. He simply poured the remaining half of the bucket of cold water, and then quickly shouted Man'er to hug Qin Baochuan in. However, Qin Baochuan waved his hand and said, "Man, I can go by myself." After saying that, he pulled two stiff cold legs and limped into the room.
"Three girls, it's done." Only then did Liao's mother come up and subconsciously glanced at the place where Qin Baochuan had just bathed in cold water. The wet water stains flowed down the melting snow, which made Liao's mother sigh. She understood Qin Yunuan's painstaking efforts.
"But I heard a news on the way back," Liao's mother followed Qin Yunuan into the house and made sure that there was no one around before saying, "When listening to the mothers on the other side of Cuixuanyuan chatting, the lady seemed to have chosen three girls to go to the temple to pray for blessings."
Qin Yunuan looked at Liao's mother with a worried face and smiled, "Mother Liao is afraid of what difficulties I will suffer when I go out? Or do you suspect that your mother has ulterior motives?
"No," Liao's mother said in a hurry, and then looked embarrassed. "It's just that the three girls go out less and are not familiar with the outside world, and the maidservants are always worried." Qin Yunuan really went to the temple to pray for blessings, which represented the whole lieutenant's mansion. The eldest lady would definitely send the maids around her to accompany her. The eldest lady's people followed her girl all day, which was what she was really worried about.
