Chapter 5 The bath
Bean sprouts!
These two words made Shu Huan angry.
As a woman, she would be unhappy when being scorned by others whether or not she cared about her appearance and body. Moreover, even if she didn't know how she looked after she time-traveled, she could still estimate her body shape. It was slender and thin as if she was about fourteen or fifteen years old. If she changed into men's clothes, she could pa.s.s as a servant. Her good figure from the past was gone. That was enough to make her feel gloomy. How could she still take what the others had to say?
The moment she got angry, her worries were left behind completely.
She didn't say more, turned and went into the inner room.
Wasn't it just taking a bath in his room? Who was afraid of who?
With his sickly appearance that could be blown away by the wind, she would be able to smash him down with any bricks if he was misbehaving!
However, it would be very difficult to find a brick here. After she entered the inner room, her gaze swept around the room first. There was a copper incense burner resting on the sandalwood table in front of the window. She immediately relaxed upon seeing this and nonchalantly sent the others away, leaving only Huiyun behind to help her wash her hair.
It wasn't that she was striking a pose. It was just that people in this era had a bad habit of not cutting their hair. She alone wouldn't be able to wash her super-long hair cleanly. Not to mention, she didn't know anything about the bathing supplies from here. She had to ask Huiyun.
Huiyun was someone with a good temper. She didn't have any complaints even if she didn't get to sleep in the middle of the night. She also patiently took care of her (SH) hair and put them in a basin of water. then, she took a crystal-clear bottle and dripped a few light yellow drops into the basin. A light jasmine fragrance came out because of the heat.
Shu Huan was curious and asked with interest, "What is this?"
Huiyun knew that she came from a poor family. It wasn't strange that she didn't recognize this thing. So, she handed the crystal bottle to Shu Huan and grinned, "This is jasmine nectar."
"Jasmine nectar?" Shu Huan placed the crystal bottle under her nose and sniffed slightly. A strong smell ran into her nose and made her almost sneeze out. She quickly put the bottle a bit farther away. She thought that this thing was similar to the fragrant oil used by people in the modern world. Presumably, it could also be used as aroma.
While she was in deep thoughts, Huiyun explained without being asked, "The family is doing business in the fragrance industry. Aside from incenses and fragrant ornaments, they also sell all kind of nectars. Naturally, this jasmine nectar is a top quality good as it was rare for the fragrance to be so light and elegant. It was the best to use in the summer. However, if second mistress doesn't like this smell, there are also nectars made of roses and Osmanthus. Should I go get them?"
