Red apricots make spring

Chapter 109
Fortunately, Shen Mengyi understands that this kind of carving skill can't be learned in a short time. Her own hands are well maintained and she can't hold a knife, so she didn't force Wen Rou to teach her. She just asked Wen Rou to carve a few more fruit flowers. She wants to enjoy it in a crystal dish.

Gentle and helpless, after thinking for a while, she picked a watermelon from the fruit basket, placed it on the table and looked at it for a while, and then quickly carved it with a knife. Not long after, a huge peony in full bloom appeared in her hand inside.Red flesh and white skin, carved out the gradual hue of the petals, and the emerald green clothes lightly carved out to set off the flowers and leaves, it looks extraordinarily gorgeous when placed in a crystal plate.

She didn't stop, picked up muskmelon, honeydew melon and other fruits, carved some small flowers and placed them next to the peonies, then tore apart two fresh roses of different colors, sprinkled the petals on the crystal plate, and it was pure. After cleaning his hands, he said with a smile, "Okay. Put this in the house in summer, and you don't need incense. The faint fruity smell is more comfortable."

Shen Mengyi couldn't put it down to the plate of fruit and flower carvings, and immediately asked Lue to carefully carry the crystal plate into her room, and then she settled down to follow Wen Rou to learn how to make cheesecake.

By the time the cheesecake was baked, the sun had already moved into the sky, and it was noon.Shen Mengyi sincerely kept Rourou to eat in Shen's mansion, but Wenrou excused her family being still waiting for her.To be honest, she really wanted to go back, because in the Shen Mansion, she couldn't speak and act rashly, it always reminded her of the days when she was a maid in the Zhao Mansion, a little restrained, a little helpless, and even more depressed.

"Really want to go?" Shen Mengyi couldn't hold back, hesitated for a moment, wiped off a red gold silk double-button bracelet from her hand, pulled her gentle hand to put it on for her, and said with a smile: "Just be careful, Wen Please accept it, girl, and come to the mansion when you are free, I am still waiting to ask you for advice."

Shen Mengyi originally planned to give Wen Rou some money and power as a thank you gift, but after getting along with her for a short period of time, she found that although her words were gentle and respectful, her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and there was a faint arrogance in her bones. The lady of Jinzhifang who made the clothes was as obsequious and obsequious as those girls who chatted with their mothers to amuse their boredom, so she had a good impression of her in her heart, and she didn't want to reward her with money, so she took off the bracelet and gave it to her.

When the gold bracelet was put on the wrist, it felt heavy, it was estimated to be as heavy as seven or eight coins, Wen Wen couldn't help being secretly surprised.It's just because women in ancient times behaved more reservedly, not to mention that Shen Mengyi is still a lady, even if she wanted to give the bracelet, she didn't have to put it on herself!Besides, since she arrived in ancient times, she has never touched gold in her hands. Naturally, she knows how valuable gold is these days. He faded away and said, "I can't accept this."

"I gave you a bracelet as a token of my affection when we hit it off. If you don't accept it, do you think this gift is too light?" Shen Mengyi smiled lightly, but didn't accept the bracelet that Gentle handed back. Let’s go, forgive me for not being able to send you far away.” She said, leaving Lue to see off the guests, then turned around and was supported by another maidservant to leave.

Rourou looked at the red gold silk-wrapped double-button bracelet in her hand and frowned. She didn't know if she should chase after it and insist on returning it, or find something from herself to give back, but she didn't have anything valuable on her body at all, so she couldn't afford it. While hesitating, she heard Lue laughing beside her and said: "My girl likes this bracelet very much, and she always wears it on weekdays. Now that I have rewarded you, it is naturally a good intention, so you should accept it, otherwise she will give it to you." Annoyed."

The word "reward" made Ruan feel extremely uncomfortable when she heard it, but she was not inferior, so of course she would not be overly sensitive, and she also knew that Lue did not mean anything malicious when she said this, it was just due to her status and habits, so she put the bracelet on Wrist said: "Let's go."

The two walked along the road to the outside of the mansion, halfway there, a servant girl suddenly called out to Lu'e and said, "Lv'e, where are you going?"

"I'll see off the guests." Lue said as she walked over and whispered to the maid for a while, and when she came back, she was apologetic and smiled at Wen Rou: "I want to bring something for the gatekeeper, are you here?" Wait here for a while, okay? I'll come back after I get my things."

At the moment they are in the garden of Shen Mansion, looking around tenderly, they see that there are flowers and trees, hills and stone pavilions, among which there are many stone corridors, she can't find the way out at all, so she just nodded and said: "I'll go to the water pavilion over there Turn around, come back quickly."

Lue responded, and quickly turned back to the maidservant, the two of them held hands and walked far away while talking.

One side of the waterside pavilion is facing the broad lake, surrounded by various kinds of fragrant flowers. He walked over gently and sat down in the shade of the trees beside the lake. He picked a gardenia and sniffed it under his nose. A piece of rippling water surface, occasionally a gust of wind blows the layers of lotus leaves in the lake, and the faint fragrance of lotus overflows like this, making people feel happy immediately.

The rich people in ancient times would enjoy it!
At this time, if you can make a pot of flower and fruit tea, put a few bunches of grapes at your hand, hold a book, and spend the whole afternoon leisurely lying down, that is really a happy life like a fairy.

Wen Rou thought to himself, it is said that the living conditions in ancient times were poor, compared to those ordinary people who struggled to survive, if the family had money to squander at will, the life of the ancients was much better than that of modern people .The food is all natural, the clothing is all natural, and even the environment is not polluted.The sky is always blue, the air is very fresh, and drinking water feels sweet in the throat.To put it bluntly, as long as you have money, no matter where you are or what age you are, you can live comfortably and comfortably. Even in modern society, most ordinary people are living for their lives, for those small dwellings of tens of square meters. And running around busy?If you want to live in a luxury house and enjoy life, make money first!
Rourou took a deep breath. Originally, she didn't like Shen's Mansion, and felt that staying here was too depressing, but because of the garden of Shuimu Tsinghua University, and because of the clear and sparkling lake in front of her, she suddenly felt that Shen's Mansion was not bad. stand up.

I really don't know when I will save enough money to buy a house.It doesn’t need to be too big, but there must be water. If there is no lake, the pool will be enough.Raise some fish, plant some flowers, have warm sun to bask in in winter, and take advantage of the wind in summer to have fun in the afternoon with flowers, well, just think about it, it feels very good!

A person was thinking foolishly, secretly laughing.Wenrou didn't feel the impatience of waiting for others at all, and even hoped that Lue could walk slowly and let her sit here for a while, but the slight sound of footsteps from behind completely broke this tranquility, she was helpless Standing up, brushing off the dusty skirt, she turned her head and said with a smile, "Are you here?"
