On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, it is a big day for the female relatives in the courtyard to get up early to pay their respects.
Although you have to say hello on a daily basis, it is more solemn on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
It was the first day of September, and Nian Shilan was lying on the bed not wanting to move. Songzhi came over with a plate of crabmeal cakes, put the plate on the table, and walked to Nian Shilan's bedside.
Called softly.
"Master, wake up, today is the big day of the first day of the new year. The small kitchen started making your favorite crab cakes at midnight. Now is the time, it is soft and delicious. I will wait for you to get up. You can rest your belly first. , do you think it would be okay if we have breakfast after we have finished your greetings?"
Nian Shilan was helpless and was helped by Mang Zhong to sit up.
"It's crab cakes again, why don't you order fresh cakes?"
Songzhi was stunned, didn't the master like crab cakes the most? Why do I seem to be annoyed today?
"Master, I'm sorry, but you don't like crab cakes. I'll go and get something else right now."
"That's all, no need to work anymore, just wait for me to wash up."
Nian Shilan got out of bed, and Guyu Xiaoman helped her wash up. Songzhi first brought a bowl of fragrant tea, and after Nian Shilan had eaten half of it, he brought the crab cakes and asked Nian Shilan to eat some first.
When Nian Shilan ate the crab powder cake, it tasted like chewing wax.
She also didn't understand why her favorite pastry had become tasteless overnight.
When Nian Shilan arrived at Xingfuyuan, she was the last one.
Huge, Shugege and Feng had been sitting in the hall drinking tea for a long time. Surprisingly, Duan was also there today.
Nian Shilan greeted Mr. Uranala, took his seat, and looked at Mr. Duan carefully.
Seeing that Duan's eyes had dark circles and bags under his eyes, it was obvious that he had not slept well.
Duan caressed her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and looked at Nian Shilan with a smile.
"I haven't been out and about for a long time. How is Fujin doing?"
Nian Shilan looked at Duan's face like a full moon and her body that could no longer be described as plump, and felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
It's not easy for women when they come to this world, so why bother making things difficult for each other?
It's just that she didn't want to do evil to anyone who had nothing to do with her, but someone had to come up and beat her with his face stretched out. She had never seen such an unreasonable request, so she had to reluctantly satisfy that person.
"I'm worried about my sister. Of course she's fine. I heard that my sister was grounded by my master a few days ago. I thought I wouldn't be able to see my sister in the past few months. I never thought that I would be sitting here chatting with my sister today. The opportunity lies with Fujin Xiande."
After Nian Shilan finished speaking, he ignored Duan's expression and just turned his face to Songzhi.
"I had a pimple on my left cheek before going to bed last night. I didn't notice it when I woke up this morning. Can you see if it's still there?"
Songzhi understood and said hurriedly.
"Zi Fujin is naturally beautiful, and even if he occasionally gets a pimple on his face, he is sensible. As for the pimple, I saw your beauty when I showed up last night, and I was so embarrassed that I hid it. Only those pimples that are ignorant will keep showing up. , Xi Fujin just needs to use medicine to suppress it."
"Yes. If this person is like a pimple, he should suppress it."
Nian Shilan turned his head and looked at Duan.
"Sister, tell me, am I right?"
Duan opened his mouth to speak, but Ulanara spoke in time.
"Sister Nian's clothes are so good today. As soon as she walked in through the door, her eyes lit up. This material is the Sichuan brocade that my master rewarded me last time, right? It suits my sister just right."
After hearing this, everyone in the hall looked carefully at Nian Shilan's clothes.
Sure enough, I saw that the clothes were bright in color, fresh and beautiful.
Nian Shilan picked up the tea cup and took a sip before saying.
"Fu Jin has good taste, but he misjudged this material. It's not the Shu brocade that my master rewarded me last time. How can a material as precious as Shu brocade be worn for daily wear? I'm not that extravagant. This material is my master's personal property." It's in the treasury. The master said that he remembered that there was such a brightly colored material in the treasury. After thinking about it, he thought it was something I could wear. When he was happy, he rewarded me."
Ulanara smiled and nodded.
"That's right. At my age, my sister should wear brighter clothes. When my sister came in just now, she brought in a gust of breeze, and it smelled very good. It seemed like the fragrance of plums?"
Nian Shilan stood up and walked to the front of Ulanala. After blessing him with a blessing, he pulled up his sleeves and walked twice in front of Ulanala.
"I specially asked my servant to use the spices that Fujin rewarded me a few days ago, and added the spices that I like, and burned them together, making all my clothes smell like this. Fujin, do you smell it?"
After saying that, Nian Shilan deliberately walked around in front of several other people.
"You sisters have also smelled it. Do you like the smell? If you like it, wouldn't it be nice to ask Fujin for it and wear it if it is stained?"
Nian Shilan observed everyone's expressions while walking.
Hu Gege looked indifferent, Feng smiled to suit the occasion, Duan stroked his belly, lowered his head and quietly covered his nose with a handkerchief.
Before Nian Shilan could even look at Shu Gege, he heard Uranala laughing.
"I don't blame the master, my sister Nian is still a child. I got the spices, and I let all the sisters taste them. It's just that Mrs. Duan is pregnant and is a little sensitive to fragrances. It's better for my sister to sit down first and wait for you to say goodbye." I’ll give it to all my sisters to taste.”
Nian Shilan flicked his sleeves again and sat back in his seat.
"I like this fragrance, so I can't wait to recommend it to all my sisters. But I don't know, what kind of fragrance is this that Fujin recommended? It smells so good. It can be seen that Fujin is also a person who loves fragrance. It's just daily life. Why don't you see Fujin? Burning incense?”
"As long as my sister likes it. The fragrance I gave to my sister is called "Plum Dance". Its shape is like a plum blossom, and its smell is derived from the fragrance of plum blossoms. Its meaning... It doesn't have any meaning, just because it smells good. This fragrance is Sister Shu gave them to me. Because I don’t like burning incense and seeing that my sister likes spices, I gave them all to my sister. If you like them, you can ask Sister Shu to make some more. However, I heard that these plum dance spices are all Sister Shu made it from the plum blossoms she harvested last year, but this year’s plum blossoms will take some time to bloom. I’m afraid, my sister will have to wait a little longer.”
Ulanara smiled harmoniously. She guessed that Nian had already found someone to take a look at the fragrance, so she simply pushed Shu out.
After hearing what Ulanala said, Shugege stood up, first blessed Ulanala, and then blessed Nian Shilan, and spoke with a meek look.
"That's what Fujin said. I didn't know that Fujin didn't like burning incense. I didn't know until I brought this carefully prepared spice that day. If Fujin likes it, I still have it there. Or, if Fujin likes any incense, you can tell me Body, I can try to bring the body one by one and give it to Fujin to taste."
"Then there's Sister Laoshu. If you need anything, I'll ask someone to tell you another day."
Nian Shilan looked at Shu Gege and saw her calm face, knowing that her goal was achieved today.
This Shugege is the dowry maid of the Ulanala clan, but with such a quarrel today, I am afraid that the rift between the two of them can be exploited by her.
