Chapter 39 See it for yourself
When Wang Yinchuan arrived at Luxingpo Villa in a carriage, Wang Baochuan was sitting in the yard washing clothes. The autumn leaves were withering, the wood leaves were rustling, and the grass outside the city had turned a little yellow.
The well water was cold and Wang Baochuan's hands were red. After not seeing her for a few days, she seemed even more haggard and lonely.
Wang Yinchuan stood in this dilapidated courtyard dressed in brocade clothes, looking out of place.
"Baochai."
She stood at the door of the courtyard and said.
When Wang Baochuan heard this, he raised his head, saw it was her, and smiled, "Second sister!"
She put down the gavel in her hand, casually wiped her hand on the apron around her waist twice, and said, "Why are you free to come here today?"
Wang Yinchuan said, "What day do I not have nothing to do?"
"No way, second sister is running around all day long, I'll get you some tea." Wang Baochuan was here all day, living alone, and was about to die of suffocation. Finally, she had someone to talk to. She was so happy that she moved the small bench to
In front of Wang Yinchuan, he turned around and trotted to the stove, "I just happened to heat the hot water in the morning. The second sister came just in time. It's windy outside the city. When the second sister came today, was it not blown by the wind?"
"What kind of wind can the carriage I ride in do?"
Wang Yinchuan sat on the bench vacated by Wang Baochuan. It was the same bench he sat on when he had dinner last time. The bench was very short. When he sat down, his skirt trailed to the floor. The brocade fabric was covered with dust, as if he was squatting on the ground.
Wang Baochuan hurriedly scooped out a spoonful of hot water from the stove and put it in a bowl. There were a few green leaves floating at the bottom of the bowl. They were unknown, but they were different from tea leaves.
She happily walked towards Wang Yinchuan carrying the bowl of water.
But as I walked, my smile became a little stiff.
She saw Wang Yinchuan dressed in gorgeous clothes. Just the jade hairpins on his head and the gold hairpins were worth a hundred taels. Not to mention the precious auspicious cloud pattern embroidery on the clothes. She had not been in Chang'an for a long time, so naturally she could not recognize this.
It is the most fashionable fabric in Chang'an City recently. It has just been shipped from merchants in the Western Regions. It is priceless and has no market. This small piece of fabric alone is worth a hundred taels of gold, not to mention the exquisite stitching and new clothing styles.
She is the most skillful embroiderer in the city.
In the past, this was her most basic and common outfit in daily life.
The most beautiful jewelry in Chang'an City were all shipped to the Prime Minister's Mansion for her to choose. The most skillful embroiderers were always on call. It took her a long time to choose just rouge, gouache, lipstick and nail polish, and she was not even satisfied.
.
Those days seemed like just yesterday, and they seemed far away from her, as if they were in a previous life. Now look at the clothes and jewelry of the second sister, and then look at her own coarse linen clothes, and her fingers that are getting rough day by day.
She laughed at herself in her heart, thinking that if she went out with her second sister, no one would think that she was her younger sister. They would probably only think of her as a maid.
This body alone is more than she could get in exchange for a lifetime of picking wild vegetables, not to mention that she works hard every day and even the most basic food and drink is a problem. She has no food to eat, and she has to worry about whether the food in the fields will grow.
Well done.
However, she just felt a little sour in her heart, but she didn't feel that there was anything bad about her current life. The days in the past were certainly good, but now she worked all day long and felt that her life was very fulfilling. Although the days were bitter, she was also very hopeful.
However, when she saw her second sister, who was dressed in brocade clothes and looked like a fairy, sitting aggrievedly on her short stool in her deserted earthen yard, surrounded by earthen walls, and even
The areas where the wall collapsed are temporarily enclosed with wooden fences.
——Second sister sitting here looks like a fairy in trouble, which is extremely inconsistent.
There was some sourness in her heart.
It's not that she compares her life with her second sister's. How much she misses her old life of being surrounded by servants and enjoying fine clothing and food. She just feels that her second sister shouldn't suffer here with her.
It seems that Wang Yinchuan should be in Qionglouyuyu when he is married. He should not eat fireworks for the rest of his life. He should not suffer from losing weight. At least he should not work all day long and worry about it, and frown with frown.
I don't know why, but my eyes suddenly felt sour.
Wang Baochuan was lost in thought.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yinchuan's eyes flashed with anticipation, and then she said, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Don't you want to serve me tea?"
Hearing her voice, Wang Baochuan suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Here he comes."
The bowl was half filled with water, with a few green leaves floating in the water. Although Wang Baochuan walked very fast, his wrist was very steady. When he brought the tea to Wang Yinchuan, he didn't spill any of it.
Wang Yinchuan didn't dislike it at all. He took it, looked at the leaves floating at the bottom of the bowl, and frowned, "What is this? Why have I never seen it before? Is it the new and fashionable loose tea?"
Wang Baochuan shook his head, "This is mint."
"A few days ago, I went to dig wild vegetables in the mountains and accidentally came to a stream. I was very thirsty, so I drank some stream water with my hands. Unexpectedly, the stream water tasted sweet and cool. After drinking it, I felt very cool and moist in my throat.
It clears the throat and lungs, refreshes the mind, and is very delicious. I originally thought it was the special effect of the mountain spring water, but later I didn't see it elsewhere, and I realized that it was the result of a few mint trees there."
"Second sister, please try it, it's delicious. Although I don't know how to make tea, I just picked some and put them down while boiling water. It tastes better than any loose tea I've ever had before!"
Wang Yinchuan looked at the floating leaves with suspicion, not just a few blades of grass. It was as magical as she said. Her almond-shaped eyes were full of doubts. She had never seen such small, saw-like leaves before.
, not like tea.
If she is in the mansion, she rarely drinks loose tea. If she drinks tea, she has to go through many processes. It is not called drinking tea, it is called tea tasting. The water, heat, tea leaves, tea cup, and even the person who makes the tea
The craftsmanship is very particular, and it is unheard of to simply mix water and leaves together, even for loose tea.
"Try it quickly, second sister, I really don't mean to lie to you. I just discovered it recently. I also asked Uncle Cui specifically. He is very knowledgeable and told me that it is called 'mint'. If you occasionally feel cold and cough,
, these are among the medicines prescribed by the doctor!"
As Wang Baochuan spoke, his voice became softer and softer as if he had thought of something.
Wang Yinchuan took a sip, and the coolness in her mouth went into her throat. Her whole body became clear, and her heart was very clear. She glanced at Wang Baochuan and said, "What?"
Wang Baochuan said, "By the way, second sister, how is my mother's illness? Last time you came here, you said she was ill. Although you said she was not seriously ill, I was worried after all. I happened to pick a lot of it a few days ago.
Mint, take it with you when you leave. I'm not with my mother, so I can only use this to express my filial piety."
Wang Yinchuan lowered his eyes and touched the edge of the bowl, "Really want to know?"
Wang Baochuan nodded heavily.
