What
Just white radish dripping with jam
Zhu Ping'an was stunned when he heard this. Was it really just carrot jam? Half-doubtingly, he shifted his gaze to the plate again and observed it carefully.
Sure enough, I found the clue. First of all, the "blood" in the porcelain plate did not have a bloody smell. If you smelled it carefully, you could smell a sweet smell. Secondly, the little hand in the plate was white, tender and chubby, but if you calmed down and looked carefully, you would find that this little hand lacked the texture of skin and was more transparent than skin. You could also smell a faint smell of radish.
The radish was carved so lifelike that it looked almost exactly like the girl's hand, with the same size and expression.
Then add the specially prepared blood-red jam...
Good enough to be mistaken for the real thing.
faint!
It really is like the white radish dripping with jam!
I was fooled by that naughty girl Li Shu! Looking at Li Shu who was laughing so hard, Zhu Ping'an was furious.
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an had a bad face and looked like he was going to call him to task, Li Shu took the initiative to attack. Just like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera, her pretty face changed from smiling to a look of being wronged in an instant.
"Hey, Zhu Ping'an. Is that how you see me? Do you think I'm Queen Lu, someone who can chop off people's hands and feet at will? Or do you think I'm a vicious girl in your heart?"
When Li Shu spoke, her eyes, which were as black as ink and as bright as stars, also dimmed and lost their luster. She pursed her cherry lips and looked as if she had suffered a lot of grievances, like a small animal that had nowhere to hide in a storm. It made people feel heartbroken at the sight of her.
"I don't… "
Zhu Pingan felt a little guilty. He had indeed thought about it just now...
"Really?"
Li Shu looked up at Zhu Ping'an, and her dull eyes suddenly brightened up.
Well
It seems like I've been tricked by this girl.
Zhu Ping'an reacted belatedly, but looking at Li Shu's cute appearance and thinking that Li Shu, a young lady who had never been involved in worldly affairs, had prepared such a large table of dishes for him, he had no intention of accusing her.
in addition
This radish may look simple, but its taste is extraordinary...
After dinner, a maid brought tea in a small teacup, and another maid brought a washbasin. Li Shu took the teacup and rinsed her mouth. Then, the little maid Baozi helped her wash her hands with warm water before she got up.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do
Zhu Pingan also rinsed his mouth with tea. In this era, there was no toothpaste, so he had to use the ancient method to protect his teeth. Tea contains a high amount of fluoride, and rinsing the mouth with tea can not only remove food residues, but also prevent tooth decay. The effect is not much worse than using toothpaste.
Li Shu was helped by a maid to take a bath, while Zhu Ping'an went to the study.
The study was redecorated by Li Shu, making it more elegant and comfortable than before, and the style has also been greatly improved.
Bonsai, orchids, and antique shelves were added to the room to make the study look more elegant and comfortable. An inkstone washing pool and a basin pool were built near the window, in which six koi fish were swimming leisurely.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to rearrange the room, Li Shu also invaded the study room openly.
The desk changed from a single table to a double desk, and on it was a set of feminine writing brushes, inkstones, and paper. There was a full-length mirror in the room, and a zither stand with a guqin on it, and a five-panel Su-style embroidered flower-and-bird screen. Behind the screen was a soft couch half-covered by a curtain, and a red bed curtain revealed two pillows covered with a pillowcase embroidered with two fat ducks playing in the water, which was extremely eye-catching on the couch and exuded a domineering aura.
Such a familiar fat duck...
Zhu Ping'an thought about it and took out a purse from his clothes. The two fat ducks with red feet paddling in the water on it were exactly the same as the ones on the pillowcase.
Then he thought of the night when he was stranded on a desert island in distress at sea and there was thunder and lightning, and Li Shu also had two fat ducks on her belly.
... ...
Li Shu is really thoughtful...
It is the most difficult to accept the favor of a beautiful woman. Zhu Ping'an curled the corners of his lips slightly and put the purse carefully into the inner pocket of his sleeve.
Li Shu was still showering. She could vaguely hear the sound of water splashing in the bathroom. It seemed that a little elf in open-crotch pants appeared in front of her eyes again. She couldn't help but feel dry mouth and tongue. Her whole body seemed to be burning and she was very hot.
I just heard the sound of water splashing, I am such a loser...
Zhu Ping'an curled his lips in self-mockery, then shook his head hard to clear his mind of distracting thoughts. However, the effect was not ideal. The little goblin in his mind became more and more vivid, and his whole body felt like drinking chicken blood, and he could hardly control himself.
To divert attention.
Zhu Ping'an walked to the desk, spread out rice paper, dripped clean water into the inkstone, began to grind ink, and prepared to write the "Tao Te Ching" to calm his restless heart.
While Zhu Ping'an was grinding ink, he noticed the scrolls and classics on the side of the double desk that belonged to Li Shu.
I’m curious about what kind of books this girl Li Shu will read.
I think, with Li Shu's personality, she would definitely not read the Four Books for Women such as "Instructions for Women", "Nei Xun", "The Analects of Women" and "Records of Female Fans", let alone "Biographies of Remarkable Women".
Out of curiosity, Zhu Ping'an put down the ink, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, walked to Li Shu's side, and reached out to take a book from the bookshelf.
Snap
When I took the book down, a roll of ivory paper tied with a red ribbon and with a faint fragrance fell from the bookshelf.
A familiar fragrance wafted into her nostrils, it was Li Shu's usual scent.
So, Zhu Ping'an put the book back on the bookshelf, picked up the ivory paper roll on the ground, tied a red ribbon into a bow, and framed it with silk and satin, which was exquisite and elegant.
I didn't want to open it at first.
After all, Li Shu was not there, and this ivory paper scroll with laces was somewhat private. Unlike the books I usually read, it would be inappropriate to open it behind Li Shu's back.
However, when putting the paper roll back to its original place, it accidentally touched the red ribbon and the paper roll opened automatically.
"Zhu Ping'an"
Then the corner of the ivory scroll that was exposed just showed his name, which was his signature and could not be faked.
How come there is my signature on it
Out of curiosity, Zhu Ping'an unfolded the paper scroll, and a hand with a flower-shaped calligraphy appeared in his sight with a faint fragrance:
From now on, we will conclude a happy marriage and become a perfect couple. The red rope will be tied early, and we will be together forever. The flowers are in bloom, the moon is full, and we will enjoy each other's company. We will swim in the sea until the rocks crumble. We point to each other as a couple and make an alliance. We solemnly make this agreement and will not break it in this life.
Contracting parties: Zhu Pingan; Li Shu
The three words "Zhu Ping'an" were indeed signed by me personally, but when did I sign this agreement with Li Shu
Zhu Ping'an touched his chin, and scenes from the past began to replay in his mind.
I remembered
On the wedding night in Xiahe Village, Li Shu took out a blank piece of ivory paper, signed her own name first, then coaxed herself to sign her name, and then kept the ivory paper away. At that time, Li Shu said, "My father is confused, but I am not. Although we are married, our parents' orders cannot be disobeyed, but it also depends on your performance. If you don't behave well, bully me, or have affairs outside, humph, our Ming Dynasty law has 'divorce with mutual consent'..."
I thought Li Shu was treacherous and prepared for a rainy day.
turn out to be... ...
Zhu Ping'an shook his head and smiled, rolled up the ivory paper again, tied an odd bow, and put it back on the bookshelf.
