After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Shen Ruoyan didn't answer Qin'er's question, her eyes passed through the darkness inch by inch, and she breathed a sigh of relief until she couldn't see anything unusual.

Just now she seemed to hear a vague chuckle.

The laughter drifting into her ears with the night wind was not real.

Seeing that everything around her was normal, Shen Ruoyan shook her head, thinking that she might have been too worried.

Just as he was about to squat back, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Found it!"

In the night, a fluorescent green dot flickered in and out of the sky. Shen Ruoyan slowed down and walked over gently, bending her hands slightly to collect the fluorescent light in her palms.

"Miss, it's really a firefly!" Qin'er also came over and said excitedly when she saw the fluorescent light in Shen Ruoyan's hand.

Shen Ruoyan raised her hand in front of Qin'er and let her look at it carefully for a while, then raised her hand and the little insect flew away with the wind.

"Oops!" Qin'er was about to chase, but was stopped by Shen Ruoyan. The little girl said anxiously, "Miss, it took you so long to find this stray firefly, why did you let it go?"

Shen Ruoyan raised her hands high, stretched her body, and explained slowly: "Look, it took us so long to find this one, which shows that there are very few fireflies here.

If we can only find one or two of these and cannot use them to confirm, it is better to let them go and give them some time to thrive. Let's try again after a while. "

Hearing this, Lu Yan, who was sitting on the roof, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows with interest.

I had always heard that the noble ladies in the capital would only fight with each other on airs, but I didn't expect that this little girl from the Shen family was actually quite interesting.

From that day on, an invisible seed quietly fell into Lu Yan's heart and took root.

When Lu Yan saw the dotted fireflies on the lakeside, he caught many of them by accident. When he regained consciousness, he was already on the way to Shen's Mansion.

Looking at the cloth bag in his hand, Lu Yan sighed.

He said to himself: "Forget it, I've caught everything, let's just satisfy her curiosity."

Lu Yan didn't want to admit that what he wanted to see more was how happy the little girl would be after seeing so many fireflies.

Skillfully climbing over the wall of Shen's mansion, Lu Yan found the place where he first saw the little girl, quietly released a bag of stray fireflies, and then jumped on the roof, silently calculating how long it would take for the little girl to discover these little girls. insect.

Lu Yan stared at the open space with interest, and suddenly realized that he hadn't looked forward to something so much for a long time, and touched himself guiltily.

Why do you feel like you are waiting for prey to take the bait?

"Miss, miss, look, there are so many fireflies!" Qin'er's voice came first.

Then Lu Yan saw that familiar figure quickly running into his sight.

The little girl happily waved her sleeves in the fluorescent light, and the corners of Lu Yan's mouth slowly turned up.

After a while, Shen Ruoyan greeted her maid happily: "These should be enough, Qin'er, do I still have gauze in the house?

We put these fireflies into gauze to see if they can really read. "

After saying that, he ran away happily.

Lu Yan did not follow her. Looking at the little girl's brisk back, he felt a sense of accomplishment that he had done something good without leaving his name.

Afterwards, Lu Yan couldn't help but want to see what the little girl was doing recently.

Gradually, going to Shen's Mansion became a way for him to relax.

In autumn, Shen Ruoyan would pick the sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard, dry it and mix it with lotus root powder to make a fragrant pastry. She also gave it a unique name called Guanghan cake.

It was so pleasant to move out the seats with my little maid and eat and drink under the bright moon.

In spring, she would peel off the bark, grind it into powder, and then take out bottles and jars like a sorcerer making alchemy.

After a while, I opened this one and smelled it. Then I poured out a few dark balls from another jar and scraped off some powder with a knife.

Shen Ruoyan was doing it seriously, and Lu Yan was watching attentively, until Shen Ruoyan sneezed, and Lu Yan almost couldn't help laughing again.

Fortunately, Qin'er heard the movement in the house, put down her work and pushed the door in, diverting Shen Ruoyan's attention.

Seeing her young lady standing among the rows of bottles and cans with a pink nose, Qin'er couldn't help but ask: "Miss, I don't think you paid much attention to the fragrance tasting party in previous years. Why are you suddenly so serious this year?"

Shen Ruoyan wiped her nose and glanced out the window subconsciously. She didn't find anything unusual, so she turned back and said to Qin'er: "I heard that Su Xihe spent a lot of effort this year to send people from A group of incense makers were found from the Western Regions and prepared a precious spice, intending to bring it to compete with us."

"This competition stipulates that you need to prepare the spices yourself. Isn't this cheating by Miss Su?" Qin'er said angrily with her hands on her hips.

"No, no." Shen Ruoyan stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Qin'er, "Su Xihe can add some insignificant things to those spices and treat this kind of spices found in the Western Regions as... As one of the raw materials, it can also be regarded as her own preparation."

"Ah?" Qin'er didn't expect to be able to do this, and cursed angrily, "Shameless!"

Seeing Shen Ruoyan opening another bottle and smelling it, Qin'er's eyes exploded, "But this is not the first time that the eldest lady of the Su family has resorted to such small and medium tricks. She has provoked you many times before, and I don't see you doing it again. In the heart.

Why are you so serious this time? "

Shen Ruoyan put down the jar and explained: "What Su Xihe is looking for this time is spices from the Western Regions.

If she wins, wouldn't it indirectly prove that the spices from the Western Regions are better than those from Daning?

Our Daning has a long history and a vast territory, so how can we be compared to the Western Regions?

I will definitely compete with her in this competition! "

Seeing Shen Ruoyan speaking with high morale, Qin'er couldn't help pouring cold water on her: "But the Western Region has always been famous for its spices, can we really win?"

“Huh, their spices are famous because they have nothing to offer.

I just want to compare with their strengths and let them know that we, Da Ning, cannot be defeated so easily. "When Shen Ruoyan spoke, she raised her chin, with a bit of blood on her face, and she had a high-spirited attitude.

Infected by her emotions, Qin'er opened her eyes excitedly, pointed to the bottles and jars beside Shen Ruoyan and asked, "Is the lady already sure?"

Speaking of this, Shen Ruoyan's originally full of fighting spirit suddenly fell down, "Hey, the main note of the incense has been basically prepared, but if you want to win, I still feel that it is still a little bit hotter."
