Luhexiang is very valuable, and when it is scarce, it is even hard to find it.
Not only are the required spices precious, but the requirements for the craftsmanship of the perfumer are also extremely strict. If there is even half a deviation, the scent of Luhexiang will not be produced.
But because Shen Yulou liked it, Shen Yanning ordered people to buy Luhexiang every month, which was a huge expense for the family.
At this time, the scent of dew and fragrant fragrance came from Shen Yulou. The fragrance was light and light, with moderate intensity. It seemed to be there but it lingered for a long time.
But Shen Fengxu didn't like it.
So Chen Fengxu stepped back a little, walked to the window, and opened the window. Suddenly there was a strong wind and a shuddering rain.
The candlelight flickered, making the room dim for a moment.
Shen Fengxu took a breath of fresh air, turned to look at Shen Yulou, and asked: "It's getting late, aren't you ready to go back and rest early?"
"With such a heavy rain, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for a while." Shen Yulou sat back down very calmly, "I guess Sixth Sister won't have a rest early, so why don't you talk to me for a while."
"Eldest sister, is there anything else you want to say to me?" Shen Fengxu just laughed, "Qing'er is eldest sister's maid after all, and her death is so unclear, eldest sister should think about her at least."
"Sixth sister should know better than anyone why Qing'er died."
Just at this moment, Cinsha walked in with a bowl of steaming ginger soup.
"Girl, the ginger soup is ready!"
Shen Fengxu stepped forward and took the ginger soup from Dansha, scooped it out gently with a porcelain spoon, walked to Shen Yulou and said, "Sister, please drink some ginger soup to warm yourself up first."
After saying that, he scooped up a spoonful and brought it to Shen Yulou's mouth.
"Don't bother Sixth Sister, I'll do it myself."
Shen Yulou reached out to take it, but Shen Fengxu refused.
With a gentle smile on her face, she said: "Sister, why are you so polite? This is what I should do."
Shen Yulou couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to let Shen Fengxu feed her the soup. As soon as Shen Yulou entered the mouth, Shen Yulou's expression suddenly changed, and he was no longer as graceful and peaceful as before, and he almost spit out the ginger soup.
Is this ginger soup?!
It’s really... hard to swallow!
She vomited on the veil.
Not only are there slices of ginger, but also Sichuan peppercorns, minced garlic, coriander, sugar cubes, raw vinegar, etc. In short, all seasonings, whether appropriate or not, are added to this bowl of ginger soup.
Shen Yulou looked into the bowl.
Because the sky was dark and there was a strong wind, the candlelight in the house was swaying, and the vision was unclear. Therefore, Shen Yulou did not distinguish carefully just now, but now when he looked carefully, he found that the bowl was full of mottled colors and even floating foam. , just looking at it is a bit disgusting.
"Eldest sister, why don't you drink it?" Shen Fengxu comforted her, "Although this ginger soup is a bit unpleasant to drink, it is still Feng Xu's intention. Eldest sister must not let it down."
"No." Shen Yulou waved his hand and was about to stand up, "Qing Zhi, let's go."
However, Shen Fengxu pressed down on Shen Yulou and said with a smile: "That's not possible. The eldest sister came all the way in the rain. If she doesn't drink the ginger soup, how can she stay warm? Feng Xu can't watch the eldest sister get cold. , Cinsha, ask Qingzhi to sit down too, but don’t leave.”
Looking at the smile on Shen Fengxu's face, Shen Yulou suddenly felt a cold feeling in his heart. This was Shen Fengxu's Melting Snow Courtyard. She and Qing Zhi were weak, so how could they defeat Shen Fengxu?
"Sixth sister..." Shen Yulou said with some difficulty.
Shen Fengxu interrupted Shen Yulou and looked up at her with a smile on his face: "If eldest sister doesn't drink this ginger soup today, Feng Xu will not let eldest sister leave."
As Shen Fengxu finished speaking, there was the sound of rolling thunder.
Deafening.
"Sister, you are not a child anymore, how come you don't know that good taste and bitter medicine are good for diseases..." Shen Feng still had a soft smile on his face.
So Shen Yulou composed himself and said: "Okay, since it is Sixth Sister's wish, I will naturally not let it down."
He was so righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he was about to die heroically.
Shen Fengxu scooped up another spoonful and brought it to Shen Yulou's mouth.
Shen Yulou took a spoonful of ginger soup into his mouth, and a very pungent smell rushed into his brain. He felt that his internal organs were overturned, and he wished he could vomit out all the food he had eaten last year.
But looking at Shen Fengxu's gentle and smiling face, Shen Yulou could only forcefully swallow the mouthful of ginger soup.
Qing Zhi on the side couldn't stand it: "Girl..."
Dan Sha glanced at her: "The two girls have a deep love for each other, so there is no need for you and me to talk too much."
After all, it was in the Melting Snow Courtyard, and it was such a gloomy and rainy day, so Qing Zhi had no choice but to swallow back her words.
Seeing Shen Yulou drink it, Shen Fengxu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It doesn't seem so inedible."
Then he gave Shen Yulou one spoonful after another.
Shen Yulou actually drank it one mouthful after another.
She knew that Shen Fengxu could not have poisoned the soup, and it was just a little tasteless, not to mention that Shen Fengxu fed her personally.
Until the drink is finished.
Shen Fengxu put the porcelain bowl aside. The porcelain bowl made a heavy sound when it fell on the table, causing everyone's eyes to fall on Shen Fengxu.
The smile was no longer on Shen Fengxu's face. She just said calmly and calmly: "Cinsha, open the door and let the eldest sister go back."
But Shen Yulou didn't get up.
"What? Sister, don't you want to go back yet?"
Shen Yulou just looked at Shen Fengxu, his expression as calm and calm as ever: "I've been thinking, it would be great if you were my sister."
A very puzzling sentence.
Chen Fengxu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Am I not?"
"No." Shen Yulou shook his head and sighed, "I envy Bai Tang for having a sister like you, but I don't."
"If the eldest sister said this, the fourth sister would be sad if she heard it."
Shen Fengxu was a little confused, but Shen Yulou just looked at her steadily, as if Shen Fengxu had the goal she had been pursuing.
Shen Yulou has always disliked Shen Yuxiang.
But no matter what, Shen Yuxiang is still her biological sister from the same mother, and this will never change at any time.
There was only a faint smile on Shen Fengxu's lips, and she didn't want to carefully discern the meaning of Shen Yulou's words, because there was no way out between her and Shen Yulou.
After a long while, Shen Yulou stood up and said: "Qing Zhi, let's go."
Qing Zhi hurriedly took the umbrella and lantern from the side.
"Sister, walk slowly." Shen Fengxu's voice was calm and calm.
Shen Yulou and Qing Zhi had already left.
But Shen Fengxu's eyes followed Shen Yulou all the time, until Shen Yulou's back disappeared into the endless rainy night and could no longer be distinguished.
"Girl..." Chensha called softly.
Shen Fengxu seemed extremely sleepy. She took a long breath and said, "Get some rest."
After saying that, she lay on the bed and pulled over the brocade quilt.
