The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 242
Papa, there was a sound, the sound of hands beating the doors and windows.

"Brother, why are you here?" Shen Xuan opened the door.After seeing brother Qiu, he asked him, but before he could answer, he continued, "It's cold outside, brother, come in quickly."

After Shen Xuan finished speaking, she moved her body to leave a gap for Brother Qiu to enter.After Brother Qiu sat down, he hurriedly poured another cup of hot tea, stuffed it into Brother Qiu's hand, and let him hug it to keep warm.

"Brother, what's the matter with you, why don't you talk?" Shen Xuan sat for a while and didn't hear the other party's voice, so she asked.

Brother Qiu, who had been silent since entering the door, raised his head to look at her when he heard Shen Xuan's question.After a few moments of silence, he said to Shen Xuan, "Does my younger sister like Mr. Xue?"

"Brother, do you understand?" Shen Xuan carefully probed.

Today in the other courtyard, after returning to the pavilion from Mei Lin, Shen Xuan felt that the atmosphere between the three was rather delicate.Occasionally, the three of them made eye contact, expressing meanings she couldn't understand.What's even more strange is that Xue Yaoxi served Shen Xuan with tea and water, obviously with bad intentions, as the elder brothers, Brother Qiu and Brother Dong, they didn't object aloud, as if they had tacitly agreed to something.Now hearing Brother Qiu's question, Shen Xuan had a guess in her heart, so she asked back.

Shen Xuan didn't get an answer from Brother Qiu, so she continued to say, "Yes, I like him, we..." For the first time, Shen Xuan admitted her feelings for Xue Yaoxi in front of others.It took a quarter of an hour to tell brother Qiu some things that happened to the two of them, and briefly narrated it.

After Shen Xuan finished speaking, the atmosphere became dull. Brother Qiu didn't know what he was thinking, but Shen Xuan felt a little uneasy.After all, the facts she just said are against etiquette, and the two of them are now equivalent to a lifelong mutual agreement.There is an affair.Because she cared about her family, Shen Xuan was worried when she saw Brother Qiu who was silent.

After a stick of incense, Brother Qiu's voice slowly sounded, and he said something unexpected by Shen Xuan, "Little sister has really grown up, and she has someone she likes."

"Brother?" Shen Xuan called out in doubt.

Brother Qiu smiled at Shen Xuan, sighed silently, and then continued, "My brothers have always lived under the care of my younger sister. From childhood to adulthood, there are things we didn't expect, little sister My sister thought of it a long time ago, and she also arranged for us. It made us brothers sometimes have an illusion that we are younger brothers, and the younger sister should be the older sister. My brother knows that the younger sister is different from other boudoir women. I won't use these to restrain you. Little sister, you remember, we will always be your elder brother, even though I don't have much ability as an elder brother. "

"If you have someone you like, go for it. We will support you behind your back. Don't be afraid of getting hurt." Brother Qiu left the room after leaving a word of encouragement.

Shen Xuan is afraid of other feelings, Brother Qiu and the others are aware of it.Just like when she was young, Shen Xuan never took the initiative to make friends, and now she has no boudoir friends, and the only ones by her side are maids and maids.

After listening to Brother Qiu's words, Shen Xuan sat there in deep thought, not even knowing when Brother Qiu left.

"Come here." Shen Xuan's voice sounded in the tightly closed room, just after lunch time.

Yun Shu, who was guarding outside, quickly opened the door after hearing the voice, walked in, and waited for the master's order, "Miss."

"Someone go and buy the herbs on this list." Shen Xuan said while handing Yun Shu a piece of paper full of words.

"Yes." Yun Shu took the list, glanced at it roughly, answered aloud, then turned and left.The list has Cyperus cyperi on it.Angelica.Paeoniae Alba and other herbal medicines for removing scars.

In less than an hour, Yun Shu brought those herbs to Shen Xuan, including tools for grinding medicinal powder.After putting down the things, Shen Xuan drove Yun Shu out of the house again, and told her to stay outside the door and not allow anyone to disturb her.

At the beginning, the sound of powder grinding by the door could be heard, but after that, the sound became less and less, until finally, it could not be heard at all.Even so, Yun Shu still dutifully guarded there.

"Yun Shu, what are you doing?" Ban Xia walked towards this side, asking as she walked.

"Miss told me to stay here." Yun Shu replied simply.

"Miss, what are you doing in there?" After hearing Yun Shu's words, Ban Xia glanced inside the door and asked her suspiciously.

"I don't know. The lady gave me a list and told me to buy herbs. After the herbs are bought back, the lady will stay inside and no one will be disturbed."

"You mean herbal medicine? What kind of herbal medicine is it and what is its effect?" Ban Xia asked excitedly.

At this time, Banxia thought of a possibility. Before, Shen Xuan reminded to restore Nanny Ding's appearance. I don't know if this is the case?As Nanny Ding's goddaughter, Banxia naturally hoped that Shen Xuan could heal Nanny Ding's face.After getting along with each other these days, the relationship between Ban Xia and Nanny Ding is better than mother and daughter, and the relationship is very harmonious.

"It seems to be Angelica dahurica. I asked the pharmacist about herbs such as white peony. These have the effect of removing scars." Seeing Banxia's anxious look, Yun Shu immediately replied.

"Herbal medicine for scar removal?" Ban Xia repeated.Get rid of the scars, get rid of the scars on the face, after Ban Xia thought about it, she thought in her heart that she had guessed correctly, and Shen Xuan in the room was developing an ointment for Nanny Ding, and said happily to Yun Shu, "It's cold, you go back first Let the room warm up for a while, I will guard here. Don't worry, no one will disturb the lady."

Hearing the excitement in Ban Xia's tone, Yun Shu also thought of a certain possibility at this time, so he could naturally understand what Ban Xia said.Looking up at the closed door, he replied to Ban Xia, "Alright then, you guard it first. I'll go back to my room for a rest, and I'll replace you later."

Yun Shu had been guarding outside the room for an hour. It was freezing cold. Even with internal protection, she still felt cold.They were all servant girls serving Shen Xuan, and they were relatively close, so Yun Shu naturally accepted Ban Xia's kindness.

"Well, go back quickly and put on more clothes. It seems to be snowing in this weather." After seeing Yun Shu's clothes, Ban Xia instructed.

After Banxia finished saying this, Yun Shu left, thinking in his heart: After getting warm, hurry up and come back to replace Banxia.After Yun Shu left, Ban Xia had been guarding the door.Originally, this kind of job of guarding the gate belonged to the little maids Xueyan and others, but Shen Xuan saw that they were too young and worried that they would be frozen, so she relieved them of their duties.

Shen Xuan has already informed them: after the winter.In spring, they will keep the maidservant's rules, including night vigil.goalkeeper.Running errands and such things.Everyone has a position for everyone. Starting next spring, no matter what the weather is, everyone must take up their responsibilities and will not indulge them like they are now.Of course, these people naturally included the five maidservants.
