Concubine Survival Guide

Sheng Yan has deliberately alienated Su these few days, saying that she wants to meditate alone, so that Su will not come to rub the bed.

Feng Suyang was very puzzled, but if he really didn't come, he would come every night at three o'clock to see if Sheng Yan had fallen asleep, and then leave the same way, or go to the back mountain again, wearing the stars and the moon, and practicing against the wind in the mountain depression sword.

Now it’s autumn, and the mountain breeze at night is also chilly, but Su, relying on his strong body, never cares. He just sweats profusely. get up.

He lay on his back among the flowers in a daze, looking at the starry sky in the distance, unknowingly stretched out his hand to touch, but found that the bright star could only be seen from a distance but could not be touched, it seemed close at hand but far away in the sky.

In my heart, a trace of melancholy suddenly appeared.

The sachet around his neck was returned to him by Sheng Yan when he returned to Longfu.He didn't want to take it back, but what Sheng Yan said was right, it was left to him by his mother, even if he is not by her side now, he should always remember his mother, don't forget that one day, as long as there is a chance, he should be happy Serve her with no regrets.

Thinking of this, Feng Suyang sighed faintly, remembering the letter the fat drunkard master had received before he left this time.

The master only said that the letter was sent by the uncle, but if it was not an urgent matter, why would Feige send the letter, and the letter was very short, the master burned it after only one glance, and said anxiously that he would leave for a while the next day day.

Could it be... something happened at home?Feng Suyang couldn't help worrying, what was even more worrying... Could something happen to my mother?

He still vaguely remembered, the night he left, the way his mother hugged his tear-wet skirt, so sad and desolate.After he was taken away by the master, he was even more hesitant to speak, unable to say anything.Now that I think about it, my mother's expression at that time was a little farewell, and she hurriedly tore off the sachet around her neck and stuffed it to him.

She had been wearing this sachet for years, and he had never seen her take it off before.

The more Feng Suyang thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, his mind was in a mess, and he was in chaos if he couldn't clean it up.

After thinking about it, I felt that Master was hiding something from me.In other words, since he came back last time, he has been hiding some secrets. Occasionally sitting on the wall drinking, he would sigh from time to time.

Where is his always carefree master.

He had caused such a big disaster, and was secretly sent away by his mother. His superior father knew...how would he treat his mother?A few days of indifference to each other is definitely indispensable, so will they be punished, will they impose their own faults on the mother?

This is not impossible, no one can disobey that father's heart, Feng Suyang feels that mother's life is not easy.All these years have passed, my mother is too kind and tolerant, and she is easily squeezed out and bullied, so... Didn't his departure that day indirectly implicate her?

If things were going as he expected, should he set off immediately... to go back?

Feng Suyang scratched his head irritably, and when he raised his eyes, a sharp cold light burst out from the dark pupils, reflecting on his long sword that had not seen the blood yet, like frost.

But that family, he really doesn't want to take another step...

The bright moon doesn't know, worrying makes dreams grow.

From the next day, Sheng Yan no longer saw Su under the window at the third watch.

"No way, this idiot really thinks he doesn't want to see him anymore?" Sheng Yan sat in front of the table and said to himself, he didn't intend to play his temper, but his little self-esteem of a man was hit a little bit, it will take a few days Just calm down.Also, he wanted to use pear pulp to make fragrance, so he needed the opportunity to experiment with the recipe by himself.

This time was different, as usual, I secretly made incense in the middle of the night, and Su was by my side to help.But this time it was made for him, so naturally he couldn't be allowed to participate in the whole process, otherwise where would the surprise come from?

He was looking forward to seeing the wonderful expression on Su's face when he received this special gift from him.

However, if he doesn't come any time soon, Sheng Yan will be very distressed!

When the time comes, he will be done. If this kid doesn't come, how will he send it out?But every time Su could only come by himself, but whenever Sheng Yan wanted to call him, there was no way to inform him.Only then did Sheng Yan feel that if one day Su suddenly disappeared, he would have no way to find him, and there was nothing he could do.

"Oh, what the hell am I doing? Don't worry about it, just focus on doing this well, he may be busy with something, and he will definitely show up in a few days..." After comforting himself, Sheng Yan continued to bury her head in the pages of the incense book, swearing I have to improve this recipe until I am satisfied.

Since the past few days had the true fragrance of grasses and trees as a lesson for the past, Xing'er and Xin'er didn't find it strange that Sheng Yan was messing with some pottery and pottery in the kitchen. idea.Feel free to boldly let him play tricks, they don't ask if they don't understand, just do their own thing well and then go back to the room to rest, and they can't help but sigh in their hearts, thinking that their little master is too fascinated, such a sleepless night, no wonder they will pass the exam It's the fifth grade.

Sheng Yan didn't care about these things at all, tried a recipe after dinner the day before yesterday, and another recipe after dinner yesterday, and felt that the effect was only average, not very good.

He was thinking about changing another recipe tonight.

The first recipe is relatively simple. Grind it finely with agarwood or two, add pear juice made from ten pears, put them together in a small silver steamer, steam them on a water pot, and repeat them repeatedly. Steam until the pear juice dries up.This is actually a method of steaming the sweetness of the pear juice to let the powdered agarwood inhale into the pear juice.

The obtained agarwood powder actually has a good fragrance, the pear fragrance and agarwood are blended together, but Sheng Yan thinks that its fragrance is not balanced enough, the agarwood taste overwhelms the pear fragrance, and the fusion is not good.

The second recipe has been improved. Sheng Yan sharpened a piece of agarwood and inserted it on the pear. When the pear is steamed, put it on the fire. This time the aroma of the pear is still not strong enough, and it is still covered by the aroma of agarwood. Stop it, as long as the agarwood is burned on the stove for a period of time, the fragrance of the pear flesh will become more faint.

Sheng Yan thought hard all day, and decided to change another method tonight. This method was inspired by pumpkin soup.The cook in the big kitchen of the Long family has a special dish, which is pumpkin soup. Hollow out the whole pumpkin, put pumpkin meat and other ingredients into it to make porridge. The taste of this pumpkin soup is much better than cooking porridge with pumpkin meat alone. many.

Since he wanted the pear flesh to be fully flavored, why couldn't he try this way?

Just do it, even if you fail.This time, Sheng Yan still ground the agarwood slices into fine powder, but he didn't grind the pears into pear juice, nor peeled them. Pour it in, and cover it with a pear top.I made ten such fragrant pear cups one by one, put them in a silver steamer, and steamed them in a pot of water.

Steam until the pears are all soft and the flesh is about to loosen before putting on the fire.

Sheng Yan originally wanted to take out the powdered agarwood, but found that the powdered agarwood was stuck to the pear meat, and there was no way to get it off, so he peeled off the skin, and put the pear meat together in a pounding bowl for pounding Rotten.

The next day, he took the mixed pear flesh and ground agarwood into his incense room, and started the next step, grinding it finer, and then adding honey paste, bletilla striata water and wax to make it There are fragrant meatballs and fragrant pancakes.Immediately, I threw one into the incense burner, and unexpectedly found that the aroma was better than the previous two recipes.

On this basis, he added the steamed pear flower water that he had just made recently, and remade the incense balls, and found that the floral, fruity and agarwood powder complemented each other even more.

But this still didn't satisfy him. After thinking about it for a night, he ground sandalwood powder and steamed it in pears according to this method, and compared it with the fragrant pear cup made of agarwood powder.

"Hey, maybe it's better if I combine the two?" Sheng Yan thought, and tried to mix sandalwood powder and agarwood powder together, put them in a pear and steam them, this time, the aroma is even stronger The first floor was finally close to Sheng Yan's imagination.

The next step is to perfect the recipe. Sheng Yan spent two days studying at Xiaoxiangtai, and made several recipes for the amount of pear flower water, pear meat, and fragrant powder, and tried them one by one. Just throw it into the incense burner for a trial.

On this day, he finally got a satisfactory prescription.

In the evening, Sheng Yan returned to Lianxiangju from Xiaoxiangtai with a box containing ten incense pills in his hands, and put it on the table carefully, he let out a long breath, and suddenly felt that his whole body was smooth.

Now... it's time to wait.

"Are you coming tonight or not?" Sheng Yan was very worried, and when he was eating dinner, he inadvertently hesitated, and opened his mouth to say what was in his heart.

Xing'er asked puzzledly: "What are you waiting for, little master? Is anyone coming to our Lianxiang residence tonight?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Sheng Yan hurriedly dealt with it, "I mean, is the southwest wind coming tonight..."

"Does it feel hot, little master? No, it's autumn recently, and it's cool in the morning and evening." Xin'er tilted her head and said.

"Ah, I'll just say that casually." Sheng Yan was listlessly drinking a bowl of fish soup, and almost got stuck by a fishbone absent-mindedly.

It was night, Sheng Yan waited until the third watch, Feng Suyang still did not appear.

He won't be angry because he ignored him?Sheng Yan lay on the bed tossing and turning pancakes, couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and didn't feel sleepy while hugging the pillow.

Upon waking up the next day, Sheng Yan immediately got up, looked at the boxes on the table, his thoughts wandered, and he sighed in disappointment.

"He still hasn't come."

What if Suzhen is angry but doesn't know that I'm looking for him?Sheng Yan didn't have the mind to do other things, so he sneaked out by himself that day, took the rope, and wanted to go down to the dry well and follow the tunnel to the back mountain.

In fact, he had already been allowed to go to the back mountain, but it was too far to go the way his brothers usually took. In order to meet Su as soon as possible, he thought for a long time and decided to take the tunnel by himself.

However, Sheng Yan was inexperienced and the rope on his body was not long enough, so he had to go back along the road in frustration, not having the courage to try again.

Could it be that I am so useless without Su?

Sheng Yan kicked the stool resentfully, feeling extremely bored.

He didn't want to have lunch that day, but the eldest lady sent word that Mrs. Fang brought the third young master of the Fang family to visit. It happened that Bifei Bisheng was at home and Sheng Yan was not at Xiaoxiangtai. Have a light meal together.

It is estimated that she got close to Fang Ling on weekdays, and the eldest lady felt that she had a friendship with the Fang family, so she sent Mama Yan to invite her.

Sheng Yan didn't like this kind of occasion, but he had no reason to refuse, so he had no choice but to change into a more luxurious lavender clothes, and took Xing'er to the east wing next to the waterside pavilion.

He met Mrs. Fang once, because Fang Ling had invited his eldest brother and second brother to be guests with his Fang family, so the greetings were a little more casual than other wives from other aristocratic families.

He bowed his head in salute, and said a few words with a slightly apologetic smile, then Sheng Yan stood with his head bowed, with his second elder brother at the front, and replied Mrs. Fang's words.

After listening for a while, Sheng Yan was a little surprised. It turned out that Mrs. Fang came to the door this time to inquire about the ladies of the Long family who are about to leave the court. Mrs. Fang intends to marry the Long family.

And she came to the door with the third son, maybe it was for the eldest lady to find her son-in-law.

Sheng Yan also looked at the past carefully, and felt that Fang Ling was indeed the most outstanding of the Fang family's heirs. Although the third young master Fang in front of him had a handsome face, his eyebrows were not clear enough, and his eyes were not clear enough, which made people feel a little weak.

No wonder Mrs. Fang was so anxious to marry this son, but judging from the face of the eldest lady, she must not be very satisfied with this son-in-law candidate.

She replied a few words, and then asked Fang Ling, "Your Congbai is not too young, I remember that his birthday is only three months away from my Feier's, is there someone he likes? "

Mrs. Fang laughed quickly and said: "Gongbai has always been stubborn, his father and I were having a headache, now I want to settle the affairs of his brothers, and then it's his turn to worry about him!"

The eldest lady nodded at this side, raised the fingertip on her tail finger, and then smiled and said: "I really like this child, Congbai. My fifth lady is just one year younger than him. It's not good, but the model is also handsome. Besides, Si Niangzi and your family's Congyu should be a good match, and the age difference is exactly one year, even if several wives have sent people here..."

Sheng Yan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head subconsciously, and saw Long Bisheng's expression changed, his brows were lowered, he didn't know what was bothering him.

If Fang Ling became the son-in-law of the Long family... Sheng Yan shook his head, he didn't feel very good, he always felt that something was wrong.

Looking at Long Bisheng again, he found that his expression was a little more claustrophobic.

Alas, the older I get, the more troubles I have.Sheng Yan couldn't help sighing in his heart, this simple meal was delicious, I believe the two elder brothers did the same, the number of times they stretched out their chopsticks could be counted with two hands.

After lunch ended in a cold atmosphere, Mrs. Fang got up to say goodbye, and led Third Young Master Fang to leave in a hurry.

Perhaps, he went home to immediately discuss Fang Ling's marriage with Master Fang.

But didn't Fang Ling say that if he hadn't been willing, he would never agree to this.Sheng Yan planted a question mark in his heart, let's see if he can resist to the end, and the resistance will be successful.

I hardly ate at noon, so I naturally ate more for dinner.After Sheng Yan ate a comfortable meal and walked for half a stick of incense to digest his food, he washed up early and lay down on the bed, tossing and turning, wondering if Su would come.

When he seemed to be sleeping but was not sleeping, Sheng Yan suddenly felt itchy around his ears, reached out and grabbed a soft thing behind his back, and turned around quickly.

I saw a snow-white kitten lying on the side of the bed, its head was shaking obliquely, and its body was still unsteady, blinking a pair of dark green eyes, staring at him.

Sheng Yan took a deep breath, and raised his hand to pinch its small pink meat pad. The kitten turned its head in confusion, looked at him, gently stuck out half of its tongue, and let out a childish "meow~".

Ahhhhh, it directly burst the bubbles that bubbled up in his heart, did he? !

Sheng Yan picked it up, raised it to her cheek and rubbed it, poked her head out to find someone, "Su Susu! It's come out, I know it must be you!"

Feng Suyang paced out from behind the screen, her clothes fluttering slightly, and she pursed her lips and smiled into her smoky eyes like black stones.
