The only favorite Qing Palace: Concubine Xi An

Chapter 272
On the fourth day of August, it is the autumnal equinox in a blink of an eye.

Lan Xin stopped the patter of raindrops outside the window, and couldn't help feeling melancholy for a while.

"It's already August, why is it still so hot?" Lan Xin sighed, then picked up the fan in her hand and fanned it.

Ice was placed in the room, and the wind from the fan was barely cool.

But as soon as I sat under the window, I felt waves of heat coming.

"Cian Fujin. We made sour plum soup and sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the small kitchen. Do you want to use some?" Yuxiu was also helping Lan Xin with the fan. Hearing Lan Xin muttering, she couldn't help but ask.

This year summer came early and went late.So much so that it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's still as hot as the dog days, which makes people upset.

Lan Xin always needed snacks in the afternoon, so she said, "Go and get some." After speaking, she seemed to think of something, and asked Yu Xiu, "It's autumn now, shouldn't the sweet-scented osmanthus bloom?"

Otherwise, why did the small kitchen make osmanthus cake?

Sure enough, Yuxiu nodded, and replied: "It's open. A few days ago, the servant took the green willows to pick some, so I made the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the small kitchen."

"Why don't we make some sweet-scented osmanthus wine?" Lan Xin became interested when she thought about the wine making.

Left and right are in the past, and it is not that it has not been brewed.

When Yuxiu heard this, she immediately shook her head like a rattle, and replied, "This is impossible! You forgot, the sweet-scented osmanthus wine we brewed last time..."

That time, Lan Xin accidentally drank too much and became a little tipsy.

The most terrible thing is that fourth master found out just like this.

Until now, Yuxiu still remembers that Fourth Master's face was dark at that time, as if ink was about to drip out.

Lan Xin stared at Yuxiu angrily, and said, "Whose maid are you? Now I have something to tell you, and I can't tell you not to move!"

Yuxiu hurriedly said: "No, no. It's just that if Fourth Master scolds you, not only will your servants suffer, but you will also..."

If Lan Xin did something wrong, Fourth Master would definitely not forgive him lightly.

"What are you afraid of?" Lan Xin said: "I accidentally drank too much last time. Let's make less wine this time. It's just for fun. What's the problem?"

Big deal, just don't tell fourth master.

Yuxiu still had a bitter face, but seeing Lan Xin's unquestionable expression, she could only say: "But the sweet-scented osmanthus has been used up. To make sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing, there is nothing a slave can do."

Unless, I went out to pick it myself.

But it has been raining for the past few days, and the sweet-scented osmanthus is afraid that it has been beaten to pieces and fell to the ground, right?
However, Lan Xin did not expect this.Then he said to Yuxiu: "The weather will be fine some other day, so let's go out? It's the autumnal equinox, if you don't pick sweet-scented osmanthus, it will be too late."

Yuxiu nodded her head, and said in her heart, "I have persuaded all the slaves and servants on the left and right who should be persuaded."There are no sweet-scented osmanthus flowers at this moment, so it is up to fate whether they can make wine or not?
Coincidentally, on the fifth day of August, the weather was fine after the rain.

Lan Xin was thinking about picking osmanthus, so she took Yuxiu and Huan Pei out together.

In order to keep the secret, Lan Xin sent Hongli to Genggege specially, and asked him to play with Hongzhou.

He was afraid that Hongli would be unrestrained, so he yelled at the fourth master sometime.

Hongli didn't think too much about it, he only thought about being able to play with Hong Zhou, so he happily followed Madam Li over there.

In the garden, Lan Xin went to find out why Yuxiu readily agreed to Lan Xin about picking osmanthus that day.

"Yuxiu." Lan Xin, holding a basket in her hand, walked to an osmanthus tree, looked at the leaves on it, and said, "Do you know everything, there is no osmanthus?"

Yuxiu sighed, and then replied: "The servant girl picked osmanthus flowers more than half a month ago. Now that I haven't gone out for such a long time, how do I know if there are still osmanthus flowers?"

This is really the truth.

But when Yuxiu saw that it had been raining for several days in succession, she guessed the result.

Lan Xin sighed, and could only say: "Since that's the case, then I can't help it. Is there really no sweet-scented osmanthus left in Beiyuan?"

"It's really gone." Yuxiu said: "Some osmanthus flowers were marinated to make osmanthus sauce. You know the rest, you know, we have eaten osmanthus cakes several times."

Already used almost.Lan Xin didn't say to make sweet-scented osmanthus brew before, so she didn't keep it either.It's only mentioned now, of course it doesn't exist.

"Okay." Lan Xin said: "Let's go look elsewhere. If not, forget it."

After looking at it for a while, I almost saw a little bit of sweet-scented osmanthus hanging stubbornly on the branches.But because the number was too small, Lan Xin simply gave up.

Seeing Lan Xin's discouraged look, Huan Pei stepped forward to comfort her and said, "You don't have to worry too much about Chu Fujin. Now that the sweet-scented osmanthus is gone, when the flowers bloom in the warm spring next year, let's pick peach blossoms to make peach blossom wine, shall we? "

"Peach Blossom Brew?" Lan Xin said, "Peach Blossom Brew is rare, can you make it?"

Huan Pei nodded and said: "I also saw it in books. Peach blossoms can be used to spread noodles or make wine. It has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin."

In fact, Huan Pei also knew that Lan Xin was just a novelty for a while.When this momentum has passed, how can I remember it when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming next year?
In this way, Lan Xin sighed and could only give up like this.

"Since that's the case, let's go back." Lan Xin said, and could only take Huan Pei and Yu Xiu back.

The sun was gradually rising outside, and after walking a few steps, restlessness came to my mind.

When Lan Xin was about to take out her handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead, she suddenly saw a little boy running over not far away.While running, he looked behind and didn't notice Lan Xin standing in front of him at all.

All of a sudden, the little boy bumped into Lan Xin's body.

"Aiyo!" Lan Xin staggered in pain and took a step back, only to realize that the person who bumped into her was actually Hongshi.

sky!It was Hiroshi again.

The last time Hongshi bumped into him was the time when he just had Jinghua.

Lan Xin didn't know if she and Hongshi had an offense, but Hongshi bumped into her again.

"Lan Fujin?" Hong Shi was a little surprised when he saw the person in front of him clearly. After a little bit of astonishment, he ran away again, and said while running: "Lan Fujin, don't tell the mother that I am here."

As soon as the words were finished, a woman and two maidservants hurried over from the direction Hongshi came from.

This time Huan Pei yelled at the group of people, and they stopped.

The headed woman obviously recognized Lan Xin, so she saluted and said: "I've seen Lan Fujin. Did Lan Fujin see the third elder brother? This servant just saw the third elder brother coming this way."

That woman was probably serving Hongshi by his side.

But at this time, shouldn't Hongshi stay in the front yard and follow Mr. Enlightenment? Why did he come here?
