After Baozi, the little maid, interrupted the conversation, the incident was over.
When they reached the door, the maid opened the Xiangfei bamboo curtain and invited Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu to come in. As soon as Zhu Ping'an took one step, he smelled a faint and delicate fragrance, which was refreshing and comfortable. Zhu Ping'an knew that this was the incense that Li Shu usually liked, and he had smelled it before in the new house in Xiahe Village.
The interior is elegant and luxurious, comfortable and gorgeous, showing the home of wealth and luxury.
"Miss, the orchid soup is ready."
Several maids in their prime came out from the inner room and bowed in response, each holding a red wooden bucket in their hands.
Li Shu glanced at him and nodded, then turned to look at Zhu Ping'an and said in a tender voice, "You have been petitioning all day and the sun is high. You must be tired. Let's take a hot bath to relieve your fatigue and get rid of the bad luck. How about having dinner after you take a bath?"
"good."
When Zhu Ping'an heard the word "dinner", his mouth began to water and he nodded without saying a word.
"Hehe, let them help their husband take a bath, add hot water and rub his back or something." Li Shu pursed her lips, looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile, and casually pointed at two slim girls.
Zhu Ping'an had a dark face.
"Your husband is not satisfied? Then what about these two?" Li Shu pointed at the two maids with a playful smile on her face.
"Forget about them, but if it's you, I might consider it."
Zhu Ping'an knew that Li Shu did it on purpose, so he pretended to be blinded by lust, looked at Li Shu with the corner of his lips raised, and spoke in a teasing tone.
"You wish..." Li Shu rolled her eyes and said angrily.
then
Zhu Ping'an was pushed into the bathroom by Li Shu out of shame and anger.
Zhu Pingan entered the bathroom and was stunned by the crescent-shaped wooden bathtub in the bathroom. The koi carp spout and lotus water spray head made the bathtub so big that it was almost like a small swimming pool. Li Shu was really generous.
As soon as Zhu Ping'an entered the bathroom, two girls came in right after him.
The two maids put away bath towels, soap, mugwort, grapefruit leaves and other bathing supplies, then came to Zhu Ping'an with their heads lowered, their little faces flushed, and stretched out their little hands to help Zhu Ping'an undress, as if they were going to serve Zhu Ping'an in bathing.
"Wait, what?" Zhu Ping'an took a step back.
"Son-in-law, the young lady asked us to help her take a bath." The two little girls blushed.
"No, I can do it myself."
Here they come again. Zhu Ping'an shook his head speechlessly and sent the two little girls away without any question.
After sending the two little girls out, Zhu Ping'an took off his clothes, climbed the stairs to the bathtub, and soaked himself in the bathtub.
call.
It was really comfortable to take a hot bath after a tiring day. Zhu Ping'an leaned against the edge of the bathtub and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
After soaking comfortably for a few minutes, Zhu Ping'an began to take a formal bath.
After getting used to modern shampoo and shower gel, it’s always a bit strange to use ancient soap and pancreas.
Especially washing your hair.
In ancient times, people grew their hair very long, and washing it was time-consuming and laborious. I really miss the modern era of short-hair shampoos. Washing hair shouldn’t be so easy.
Unfortunately, I had long since returned to my teachers all the ancient Chinese literature, chemistry, physics, etc. that I had learned in modern times, and I knew nothing about making soap, shampoo, facial cleanser, cosmetics, etc. Otherwise, I would have had unlimited business opportunities in the Ming Dynasty.
While Zhu Ping'an was taking a bath, the maids in the living room were shuttling back and forth, decorating the living room under the command of the little maid Baozi.
Potted plants, flower arrangements, and red candles...
Then the maids came back and forth, bringing plates of delicious food and placing them on the table one by one, which were full of color, aroma and taste.
"Miss, the uncle said that we are not allowed to serve."
After the two little girls came out of the bathroom, they came to Li Shu nervously to apologize.
"It's fine if he doesn't need it."
A little girl stood in front of Li Shu holding a bronze mirror. Li Shu sat on the chaise longue and brushed her hair by her ears in front of the mirror. Without even looking at them, she said something lightly with a faint smile on her lips.
The two little girls breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to bow and leave, they heard the young lady's instructions in their ears: "By the way, go call Mo Xiang."
"Yes, miss."
The two maids obeyed the order and left.
"Miss, you called me."
Soon a little girl came up to Li Shu timidly, lowered her head and greeted her.
If Zhu Ping'an was outside, he would probably have an impression of this little girl, because this little girl was the one Li Shu asked Zhu Ping'an to choose before entering the door. Zhu Ping'an casually stretched out his hand to choose the girl when dealing with Li Shu, and joked that her little hands were chubby like pig's trotters, and that she was a blessed person.
The little girl Mo Xiang was left out in the cold for about a minute.
"sit."
After Li Shu put on a pair of crystal clear Dongzhu Fairy earrings in front of the mirror, she smiled slightly and said a word as if she had just seen the little girl.
"I dare not." The little girl Mo Xiang shook her head timidly.
"Qingyi, please wait for the seat." Li Shu instructed the maid who was holding a mirror beside her to bring an embroidery stool.
After Qingyi brought the embroidered stool, the little girl Moxiang still didn't dare to sit on it. As servants, it was not right for them to sit in front of the young lady.
"Miss asked you to sit down, so just sit down." The chubby little maid came over and glared at the little girl.
The little girl Mo Xiang then sat down tremblingly.
"Come closer and let me take a better look." Li Shu seemed to be very interested in the little girl Mo Xiang. She smiled and hooked her hand, asking the little girl to come closer.
When the little girl came closer, Li Shu stretched out her slender hand to lift the little girl's chin, her beautiful eyes wandering, looking at the little girl's face with interest, as if there were flowers on the little girl's face.
The little girl's face was indeed very ordinary, at most pretty, and was a far cry from Li Shu.
Li Shu was smiling, but the little girl was terrified.
The little girl looked at her mistress timidly. The mistress's eyes were so bright that she felt that if she looked at her closely, they would poke several holes in her face.
"Put out your hand, let me see it."
After a while, the little girl heard Li Shu's instructions again.
So, according to the young lady's instructions, he stretched out his little hand, which was white, tender and chubby, like a steamed bun just out of the pot.
Li Shu took out a handkerchief and gently held the little girl's hand through it.
really
The little chubby hands look very blessed, and there are small pits on the back of the hands like those of a baby's hands.
Toss and turn.
Li Shu watched with interest for a long time.
"The back of your hand is filled with grain, and the basin is full of gold and silver... you are a blessed person." Li Shu pinched the little girl's hand, her cherry lips raised in a perfect arc, her smile was as bright as a flower, and she was extremely beautiful.
... ...
Zhu Ping'an took a bath in the bathroom for about half an hour before he got out of the bathtub, dried his body with a towel, put on his clothes, wiped his hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom. Before he entered the living room, he smelled the fragrance of food.
It's been a long time since I last smelled this kind of fragrance.
As soon as he entered the living room, Zhu Pingan was attracted by the rich and delicious dishes on the table, including lotus prawns, sweet-scented osmanthus shark fin, kirin vegetable, peach kernel chicken, golden money spit, kung pao rabbit, centenarian soup, imperial fan bean yellow... ... There were more than 20 dishes in total, all of which were delicious. The most eye-catching was a longevity peach and a bowl of longevity noodles in the middle of the table.
Longevity peach, longevity noodles
Zhu Ping'an paused while wiping his hair. What day is today
"Hehe, miss, the birthday boy is out." The chubby little maid greeted with a giggle and revealed the answer.
Birthday boy
Zhu Pingan was stunned for a moment, then he realized that today was his birthday, Daming's birthday. When he was a child in Xiahe Village, there were not so many rules, and his parents never celebrated it for him, so he had forgotten it.
It’s amazing that Li Shu still thought about it and gave herself such a surprise.
There was a touch of emotion in Zhu Ping'an's eyes when he looked at Li Shu.
"Happy birthday, my husband. There is another dish that will be served later. I'm sure you will like it." Li Shu smiled and bowed, wishing Zhu Ping'an a happy birthday. She had a sweet smile and beautiful eyes, and she was indescribably charming in her every frown and smile.
Another dish
I will definitely like it
So mysterious...
Zhu Ping'an smiled, with some anticipation.
