Chapter 45: Morning in Washington

Ruoxi gnawed on the fire and fell into contemplation, the copper bell of the aunt was exactly the same as the copper bell of Aunt Mei, and it was found in Jin Ge's torture chamber, what is the relationship between her and Jin Gemen? Ruoxi thought about this, and her heart became more and more doubtful, and she didn't notice when Aunt Xintong came to her side, and the sesame seeds she ate half of the fire in her hand were taken away by Xintong, only to hear Xintong scold: "When did this new food dare to put it in your mouth, didn't I tell you that you can only eat everyone's leftovers?" And you can only squat at the door to eat, and you have to eat where I can see, I said, why don't I see you? ”

"I let Ruoxi eat here, I'm afraid that you will count her endlessly, so you won't let her dangle in front of your eyes. Guo Ziqian said: "Xintong, you treat the daughter of outsiders as your own, Ruoxi is your sister's own daughter, your niece, don't go too far." ”

"Ziqian, my sister is disciplined, you don't always interfere, jade is not cut, there are no rules. Xinhui said: "Ruoxi, our family is not rich, and you don't go out to work at home, you can make do with whatever you eat, just pick it up and eat." Don't always make your aunt angry. ”

Xintong pointed to the vegetables in the yard and said: "If I always connive at you, you will have no rules at all, you go and spit it out for me, you can eat what you should eat, and you have to spit out what you shouldn't eat." ”

"It's too much. Guo Ziqian said anxiously: "Ruoxi, don't listen to her." ”

"Ziqian, are you going to work?" Xinhui urged, pulling Guo Ziqian's arm, Guo Ziqian raised his hand and pushed Xinhui out, Xinhui was unstable on his feet, fell to the ground, and cried: "You actually beat me, I won't live anymore······"

"Oh my God, Aunt Xinzhu, I, Guo Ziqian, can't stand you, I regret living again!" Guo Ziqian roared angrily, turned around and left.

Xue Fei and Wanyu watched Ruoxi vomit in the vegetable field, their hearts were like knives, and they were pulled into the carriage by Wang Shiqi and marched towards Dongfang Huafu.

Xue Fei's angry eyes were red, and she glared at Wang Shiqi and said: "You will be retributed one day, God will not repay you, or God is blind." ”

Wanyu said: "Uncle, if the person who ate the apple that year was Ruoxi, he would not be resented by his aunt and mistreated today." If it was Aunt Xinzhu who was alive, would she also abuse Zhu'er like this? We must not die well, Aunt Xinzhu can save us and relieve her daughter's suffering, right?"

"I can't persuade them, Ruoxi is also fourteen years old this year, I will pay attention to find her a good family, and marry her off quickly, so as to get rid of this nightmare life completely. Tears flowed from the corners of Wang Shiqi's eyes.

The morning of Oriental Washington, is the busiest time for the maids, the third watch is to get up to practice, just hold the basin to serve and wash, there are twenty potential, every move and a style require the maid to have a solid basic skills, it is said that the maid of Oriental Washington, weekdays to serve, day by day study, a critical moment, are to kill the enemy, catch the thief. Even the slaves who sweep the floor must wear iron shoes weighing 10 pounds on their feet, and clean according to the rules.

The soles of the maids' shoes were hollowed out, and there were bells in them, and if they walked and jingled, they would be punished for kneeling. It means that the maid who has not learned to walk and can't walk can only stay in the firewood room, chop wood and boil water, and do rough work. The maid who can walk around the yard has at least two years of basic skills, and it is not casual that she can serve in the master's room.

On weekdays, the maids are on the fifth watch, serving the masters to get up and change clothes, wash, and then go to practice, the masters usually come back in the practice room, and take a bath again, and then change clothes, before eating, until the master leaves the house, the maids can relax a little, and then, start to clean the room, and have to be busy until noon to clean up.

Especially in the courtyard of the eldest young master, the slaves and maids should be careful, he has always had a habit of cleanliness, everywhere must be spotless, bathing twice a day, getting up in the morning, before going to bed at night, will bathe, in the summer is to go out and come back to bathe, clothes from the inside out, will be changed. Including shoes and socks should be incense and ironed.

The second young master is relatively simple, he is obsessed with practicing swords and martial arts all day long, and he doesn't care if the maid is lazy, whether the clothes are incense, etc., sometimes a piece of clothing is worn for two or three days, and his mother reminded him to change, he remembered, for this reason, he was in charge of Granny Li, and scolded the maidservants almost every day during the morning training.

Wanyu and Xue Fei stood in the last row, listening to Granny Li's lectures, trivial and cumbersome rules, and the people who listened yawned again and again.

All the maidservants listened to this cliché every day, and their ears heard the calluses, and this yawning was contagious, one by one, and they all gently covered their mouths and endured sleepiness.

Wanyu and Xue Fei knelt all night, they didn't sleep, and they were also drowsy at the moment, Wanyu couldn't help yawning, Xue Fei yawned a big yawn, and Granny Li shouted when she saw her: "What's your name as a newcomer?"

Xue Fei yawned again, not realizing that Granny Li was talking to her, Wanyu hurriedly said, "If you go back to the housekeeper, the maidservant Wanyu." ”

Granny Li walked over, pulled Xue Fei's sleeve, pulled her out, and said, "What about you?"

Xue Fei said: "My name is Xue Fei. ”

"Sloppy and sloppy, sleepy-eyed, at first glance he is a lazy billet, and so is the eldest young master, these people also bought and stuffed it into the lady's room, but they don't want to be scolded every day?" Then he said to the maidservants, "Today's morning meeting, this is the end of the day, everyone go back and do their own work." The maidservants responded, "Thank you for the teachings of the steward." "Bow down.

Granny Li took Wanyu and Xuefei sisters back to the room, sat on a chair, stared at them, and said, "The little appearance is okay, they are all clear and beautiful, why are their eyes so red, isn't it the first time to leave home and haven't slept all night?"

"Back to the steward, exactly. Wanyu hung her head and said: "My little sister Xuefei and I have never been out of the house, and when we think of entering the house to serve our wife, we tremble and tremble, lest we be driven by vulgarity, so we can't sleep at night, and I hope that the steward will be lenient and teach." ”

The steward nodded and said: "When you first arrive, it is inevitable, since you want to enter the house to do things, as a maid, you must know respect and humility, and remember the rules." Be cautious in your words and deeds, and do not exceed etiquette. The eyes should not look directly at the owner, the voice should be soft, and no loud noises are allowed no matter what happens. The host doesn't ask, can't talk casually······" The housekeeper nagged a lot, and then asked, "Have you all written it down?"

Wanyu and Xue Fei said: "It's all written down." ”
