Xiangsheng prosperous

Chapter 6
Sure enough, the slurry made from glutinous rice flour was mixed with the other four ingredients, and a perfect mosquito repellent incense was made.

Qiu Mo carefully pinched a cake of mosquito repellent incense, put it in front of her nose and smelled it carefully.Because it is made of natural materials, it does not have the pungent feeling of modern chemical fragrances at all, but a cool and refreshing feeling emanating from the inside out.Refreshing and refreshing.

Then she lit the end of the cake incense again, took a few deep breaths with the aroma, and finally nodded with satisfaction, and put the rest of the mosquito repellent incense into the wooden box.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Lady Tian was lying on the drunkard's chair in the back room, with her eyes closed and her mind in a daze.This was already the second night that she didn't sleep well.Since it rained late at night the day before yesterday, the mosquitoes and flies in this yard began to prosper again, and last night it made her toss and turn for a long time before she fell asleep in a daze.Sure enough, when I came together today, my temples began to throb and hurt.

"Miss, breakfast is ready, please go and enjoy it." The maidservant's voice sounded from the door.

Lady Tian was very irritable, she didn't want to move at all, and didn't even bother to reply.

But the masters of the third house are all waiting, the servant girl saw this, so she had to call softly: "Miss Tian?"

Lady Tian finally frowned, and said impatiently, "What's your name? I have a headache! I don't want to eat!"

The door was quiet for a quarter of an hour, and then there was a sound of footsteps.

I saw Qiu Qianshen, the master of the third room, stepping in unhurriedly.Tian Niangzi glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, seeing his energetic appearance, she couldn't help cursing inwardly: "This old man is too big, I hid in Pingkang Fang to refresh myself for two days, I'm afraid I called Hu Ji, a prostitute, to sleep all night. Fan him. It’s really not a person to leave my old wife to suffer from fly plague at home..."

Then she closed her eyes again, lightly raised two fingers and slowly rubbed her temples, ignoring Qiu Qianshen's arrival.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" Qiu Qianshen changed his usual posture of the head of the family in front of the servants, walked behind the drunkard's chair, and gently rubbed his wife Squeeze your shoulders.

"It's not caused by mosquitoes and flies. You slept well last night. How would you know that I'm suffering here every day..." Tian Niangzi said to her husband-in-law.

"It's not easy to handle, why are you so angry? I'm going to call the doctor's assistant, boil a few thick pots of mugwort leaf juice, and sprinkle it all over your house to ensure that not a single mosquito will disturb you tonight." How about it?" After finishing speaking, Qiu Qianshen moved closer to Lady Tian's cheek and kissed her secretly.

"Oh...don't make trouble, you bastard!" Tian Niangzi slapped Qiu Qianshen's Lushan Claw off with a coquettish smile, and suddenly felt that her mind was brighter and her energy was much more energetic.

"Let's go eat, the children are still waiting. Today, Zichan has to follow me to the West Market to buy medicinal materials. It's not too late." Zichan is the name of Qiu Shiming, the eldest son of Sanfang.Qiu Qianshen knew that he had coaxed his mother-in-law well, so he quickly stood up with Mrs. Tian on her shoulders.Lady Tian also stopped being coy and hypocritical, and let Qiu Qianshen help her out of the back room to have breakfast. "

After breakfast, just as everyone in the third room was about to go about their business, the servant at the door suddenly came to report.

"Master, Shuanghan, the servant girl of the second wife and third lady, please see me!"

Qiu Qianshen and his wife glanced at each other, they encountered a strange thing when they opened the door today.The daughter of the second family usually wouldn't step into the threshold of the third room half a year, why did the sun rise from the west today, and thought of coming here to say hello?

"Cough... did you say something?" Qiu Qian coughed deeply and asked the servant outside the door.

"I just said that I made some small gadgets, and I want to present them to the master's wife, out of filial piety." The servant said respectfully.

"What good things can she have?" Mrs. Tian thought to herself, the family is usually poor in food and clothing, and the master doesn't have the ability to make a living outside. Now he has finally figured it out, is he going to please us?

"Wait!" Mrs. Tian seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Is this gift for the third room alone, or for each room?"

"Back to Madam, Shuanghan said it was delivered by every house. The main wife is still resting, so she hasn't gone to the main house yet. She just came out of the big house and came to our house."

Lady Tian nodded, if this is the case, I'm not afraid that she may have done something secretly...

Qiu Qian took a deep look at Lady Tian, ​​of course he understood the intention of his wife's question.I thought to myself that this woman is really as careful as silk, but she also seems petty.It doesn't matter, although he doesn't like it, it is of great benefit to the management of the inner house.Just let her go, Qiu Qianshen stood up and said:

"Madam can figure it out, Zichan and I will go to work first." After speaking, he waved to his son and went straight out the door.Seeing this, Qiu Shiming crossed his hands again to his mother, and turned around to catch up with his father.

Shuang Han bowed forward, raised her hands and held a wooden box in front of her body in a dignified way.She faced down, waiting for the inquiry from the mistress of the third house.Lady Tian observed her for a while, then turned her head to signal the maid beside her to take the box.

"Miss Tian, ​​the third lady said that if there are mosquitoes and flies at night, you can light this incense, so that you can sleep peacefully all night." Shuanghan said.

Lady Tian nodded, smiled and said to Shuanghan, "Third lady has a heart. Nanny Song, go to the box to get a pair of silver bracelets, and let Shuanghan bring them to the third lady."

"Thank Miss Tian on behalf of the third lady, and the servant girl is leaving." Shuanghan bowed again, exited the courtyard, and left with Nanny Song.

Looking at the back of Shuanghan going away, Tian Niangzi finally let go of the corner of her mouth.She frowned again, raised her hand to support her head that was drooping due to migraine: "Mei Xin, put this away. I'm going to rest, my headache is hurting."

After finishing speaking, he supported a servant girl's arm and walked slowly to the back room.

Late at night, the master bedroom of the Sanfang family.

"Snapped"! "Crack!"
The curtain of the bed was pulled open with a brush.

"Mei Xin!! Where is Mei Xin?"

"Mistress?! Maid is here!" Mei Xin heard Madam calling herself, and hurriedly ran into the bedroom, knelt down.

Qiu Qianshen was sleeping in his own room today, he had finally learned how severe the mosquitoes and flies were this night, and now he was sitting on the bed with his forehead covered.And Lady Tian sat beside the bed angrily, without her embroidered shoes on, and stepped on the bed with her bare feet.

"You bastard! I told you to splash the mugwort leaf water, did you even splash it?!" Lady Tian scolded, "What's the matter with this mosquito?" Lady Tian spread her hands, her palms turned red with blood.

"This... this servant girl... madam, you should either look at it, or try the incense that the third lady sent?" Mei Xin stumbled, with cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

Lady Tian stared at Mei Xin for a long time before she waved her hand to signal Mei Xin to get it.

Mei Xin bowed her head and backed away silently, and only dared to wipe the sweat from her forehead when she was outside the door.

After a while, she brought a plate of mosquito repellent incense.After the incense rack matched with Qiu Mo was set up, the end of the incense coil was lit with a torch.

After a while, a fresh and elegant fragrance filled the whole house.After a while, the mosquitoes and flies biting people stopped and gradually returned to nothingness.

"Strange! The effect of this incense is so powerful? This smell..." Tian Niangzi took a deep breath, "It smells so good..." Tian Niangzi muttered to herself.

Qiu Qianshen also sniffed the fragrance in the air, and praised: "The smell of this mosquito repellent incense is very special."

Lady Tian nodded in agreement.

Smelling this fragrance, they felt their bodies gradually relax, and they couldn't help but close their eyes comfortably, and lay back on the bed.
