Wuwang reminds book friends to rest their eyes
When Shu Huan got the engraving tools that Ran Mo quietly sent over, the sky was already getting dark.
The gift was a birthday gift, so of course the recipient couldn't know about it in advance, so that there would be a surprise, so Shu Huan kept the set of carving tools and Yingge Green Qinan carefully hidden, and finished the meal with Gu Xiran as if nothing had happened. Only then did I find an excuse, saying that I was too full to go out for a walk, and then went to the garden with the good time and beautiful scenery.
Aunt Yun chased her out, handed her a small white jade box not much larger than the thumb cover, and said with a slight smile: "Second Master asked me to give it out, and it contains mint ointment, if you are bitten by a mosquito, just wipe it on and it will be fine." It doesn't itch anymore."
As he said that, he handed her a small porcelain bottle: "If Second Mistress doesn't like the smell of mint, there is also fenugreek juice here, which can keep away mosquitoes."
Shu Huan thanked her, accepted it, and when she turned to leave, Aunt Yun said again: "Second master said, tell Second Mistress not to go too far, and come back earlier."
"Understood." After Shu Huan agreed, he asked Liang Chen to light a lantern in front of him and went out.
Without the shining of the bright moon and stars, the ancient night would be truly black, the kind where you can't see your fingers.
The sky just changed tonight, the moonlight was covered by overcast clouds, the lantern in Liangchen’s hand didn’t shine too far, and the wind blew up, the light and shadow flickered and flickered, and the leaves were still rustling. In this situation, walking in the empty, In the cool air permeating the garden, it is really a bit of the artistic conception in Liaozhai
.
Jingmei was a little more timid, and couldn't hold on: "Second Grandma, it's scary outside, why don't we go back and take a walk in the yard?"
Shu Huan smiled: "If you are afraid, you should go back first."
Meimei also held a lantern in her hand, and it was okay to go back alone, but when she looked back, she saw that the way she came from had been hidden in the boundless darkness, and she suddenly felt terrified. She dared not go back alone, so she could only tremble: ... I'd better follow you guys..."
Shu Huan came out to find a place to carve the piece of Yingge Green Qinan. He didn't need to go far at all. When he arrived at the gazebo he visited last time, he sat down on the pavilion and asked two maids to put the lanterns on the stone table. Above, she took out Yingge Lvqinan and began to examine it carefully.
Looking at the appearance alone, this Qinan is no different from ordinary dry trees, but when you carve it with a carving knife, you can see that the oily layer inside is dark green, and it feels softer to the touch.
It is difficult to carve fine things with such a material. If you want to make incense sticks, it will take a lot of work to polish them! After scrutinizing it for a long time, Shu Huan suddenly had an idea—
Don't carve too thin, just carve out a general outline, which is easy to cut and doesn't waste too much material.
As soon as she thought about it, Jingmei couldn't help asking: "Second Mistress, what is this? It looks like a piece of rotten wood, but it smells good if I didn't think about it."
Shu Huan couldn't help laughing, in this fragrance house, there is finally someone as ignorant as her!
Before he answered, he heard Liang Chen say aside: "This is Qinanxiang, right? I've seen bracelets made with this carving at my wife's place, but it's not as fragrant."
Shu Huan nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Do you know the zodiac sign of the second master?"
Meimei shook her head, Liangchen thought for a while and said, "Second Lord seems to be a rabbit."
rabbit? !
It was really unexpected, she thought that Gu Xiran should belong to a fox!
The rabbit is a rabbit, but there is a rabbit shape that is easy to carve.
Shu Huan smiled slyly, picked up the knife and began to carve
.
Meimei watched from the side, and asked curiously, "Is this a birthday gift for Second Master?"
Shu Huan hadn't carved anything for a long time, and he was a bit unfamiliar with his hands. He didn't dare to be distracted at the moment, and focused all his attention. When he heard the question, he didn't bother to answer it, so he just let out a "hmm".
The two servant girls were both trained since they entered the mansion. Knowing some things, the master said impatiently that they would not ask more questions, so they both stayed by the side and watched her quietly.
Because there is no need to carve too finely, this piece of Yingge Green Qinan is so soft that it is easy to cut. After a short time of carving, the general outline of a fat-headed and belly-shaped rabbit was figured out.
The more Shu Huan became sculpted, the more funny he felt in his heart, and gradually he started to move the knife like flying.
I don't know how long it took, but when she came to her senses, a rogue rabbit with squinted eyes, a round nose, and a short tail jumped out of her hand.
She raised her eyes and saw that Liangchen who was sitting opposite had a strange expression on her face, so she picked up the rogue rabbit and shook it, "Isn't it pretty?"
Liangchen pursed his lips: "It's good-looking, but the appearance of this rabbit seems a little too wretched..."
Meimei still has a childlike innocence, she leaned over to take a closer look, and said with a happy smile: "I think this fat rabbit is quite interesting, but I don't know if the second master likes it or not."
After the carving is finished, even if it is not good, there is no other way! However, if people in later generations know that she used such precious Yingge Luqinan to carve rogue rabbits, I'm afraid she will be scolded as a waste of money!
Shu Huan was half emotional, half excited after the prank. He took the rogue rabbit and looked at it repeatedly, and finally drilled a small hole in the back of the rabbit's head. He thought about going back and using a cloth to wipe it smoother, and then tied it with silk rope. You should be done.
It's also interesting to think about it. Originally, I wanted to carve seals and incense strings, but I didn't expect to carve a waist pendant upside down in the end. I just don't know if Gu Xiran would be willing to wear such a different kind of waist pendant. Good carving, it seems that if you have nothing to do in the future, it would be good to find a few pieces of rotten wood or radishes to carve for fun!
Liang Chen pointed to the carved fragments on the stone table, and said with some regret: "Do you want these?"
"These..." Shu Huan stretched out his hand to gather the scraps together, rolled them up vigorously with his hands, and unexpectedly they could be squeezed together like soap, so he put them in his purse and said, "Keep them together." , always useful
. "
Speaking of this, a gust of cool wind blew over, she sneezed, feeling a little cold, and quickly asked, "How long have we been out?"
Liang Chen thought for a while: "There must be two hours."
Two hours!
That's four hours!
It's already midnight!
Shu Huan said "No", hurriedly collected the things, grabbed the rogue rabbit in his hand, grabbed a lantern and ran back, so anxious that Liang Chen Meijing chased after her: "Second Grandma, please slow down, don't worry about it." Run too fast and fall!"
Running back to Shengmei Pavilion in one breath, she saw that the lights in Gu Xiran's room were still on, and she felt more and more in a bad mood, so she hurriedly sent the two maids to sleep, first she quietly went into the study room, and found a place to put the carving tools and the Only Qinan's rogue rabbit hid, then straightened his clothes, brushed his hair, and pretended to be nonchalant to lift the curtain of the bedroom—
As soon as she lifted the curtain, she first smelled a delicate and sweet fragrance that made the eyes go soft, and then saw Aunt Yun sitting on the edge of the bed in a semi-sheer gauze dress, with her black hair hanging down. The candles lit by the head were doing needlework, while Gu Xiran was holding a book in his hand, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and seeing his breathing evenly, he was obviously asleep.
The scene in front of her is beautiful and warm, obviously beyond Shu Huan's expectation, she thought that she would come back late, and she would probably see Gu Xiran's stinky face...
Just for a moment, she hadn't decided whether to go in or go out. When Aunt Yun heard the movement behind her, she hurriedly stood up and turned around. She smiled at her and whispered, "Second Grandma is back? Second Master can't wait." , I’ve already gone to bed first. The soup in the small tea room is still warming for you, if you drink it, I’ll get a bowl for you.”
Shu Huan shook his head: "It's getting late, don't drink anymore, go and have a rest."
Aunt Yun responded, packed up her needlework, and quietly withdrew.
Under the candlelight, Shu Huan looked at the swaying bamboo curtain in front of him, then turned to look at the sleeping Gu Xiran, and sighed secretly. It seems that if she really wants to find a way to vacate the room in the east wing, if she doesn't encounter such embarrassing things again, she doesn't even have a place to retreat!
