In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, there is a row of inconspicuous cabins on the side of the courtyard of the second son, Li Taiming, and most of the low-level people who serve in several courtyards nearby live here.

There was a well not far in front of the door, and there was a long row of urine buckets and urine jars beside the well, and two young and beautiful girls were pinching their noses and looking at the things in that place.

Liu Yan'er fanned in disgust: "How many people are there in our courtyard?" Where do you get so many pee buckets and pee jars? Birou's girl is a bully, right? As for it? What a cautious ......."

Xiao Xia is also a little worried, she has lived for two lifetimes, and she has never done the job of washing Gong buckets.

I remember when I was a child, I went to my grandmother's house in the countryside, and their family also used a urine jar, which I carried into the house and put it in the corner every night when I went to sleep, and used it at night and took it out early the next morning to rinse and rinse, and put it in the corner to dry.

But Ma Pozi took out so many tools, obviously it is not just as simple as rinsing and rinsing, do you want to wash it by hand?

"Two girls, do you hear me clearly? Oh, the thing is here, it's hard for you this month, I still have something to do, let's go first! ”

"Wait a minute!" Liu Yan'er hurriedly stopped her, leaned over and secretly stuffed something into her hand, and said with a smile:

"Granny Ma, we came into the house to serve the second young grandmother, naturally we have to wash the second young grandmother first, can you bother to point out, which one is used by the second young grandmother?"

Ma Pozi glanced down, took the situation, and said with a smile: "It's not simple, oh, the lotus flower is printed on the gong bucket, that's right, Miss Liu, the second young grandmother likes the fragrance of orchids." I used to use orchid fragrance every time I washed it, and the second young grandmother liked it when she smelled it, so you might as well try it too? ”

"Oh. Is it? Then I must try, thank you Granny Ma, Granny Ma walks slowly! ”

Liu Yan'er sent the woman to the hospital with a smile, and muttered with a dark face as soon as she turned around:

"Sick, right? Use a gong bucket and incense? Also printed lotus, such a treasure simply take it to decorate the heart! ”

Xiao Xia couldn't help grinning, and Liu Yan'er glared at her apricot eyes: "You still have the heart to laugh, so many gongkes." What do you say? ”

Xiao Xia blinked, what can I do? Wash! Is there any other way? If you can still pay someone to wash it outside, in this house. They are punished, how can they be denied? It's just that it's a bit more.

Last night, they roughly calculated, two masters, four first-class maids, and four second-class maids in Zhuang Silian's yard. Four third-class maids. There were also four rough maids and four rough maids, a total of twenty-two people.

In the first-class maids, only Bi Rou and Bi Ting live in one room each, the newcomer Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu are two people in one room, the second class is also two people in one room, and the third class and rough mother-in-law and maids are four people in one room, even if there is one gong bucket in one room, it is only nine gong buckets.

What's more, under normal circumstances, as long as it is not too cold in winter, everyone is reluctant to use Gong buckets. After all, the maid's room is not big, and there is another gong bucket. Isn't it very smoky? Everyone would rather eat less at night and not stay up late, or go directly to the thatched house to solve the problem.

But where did the twenty or so stinky gong's buckets of urine jars come from? You can't have to have one of these things, right? It's also ridiculous.

Alas, it is really embarrassing for her to say that Birou is narrow-minded and really doesn't wronged her, and for the sake of fighting spirit, she even did such things.

Xiao Xia took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around her nose to tie a knot behind her head, huh! It's a little better, although it's still a little stinky, and it's barely acceptable. She rolled up her sleeves and picked up the brush to get ready for work, and by the way, she had to fetch water first.

She walked to the well, looked inside, the reflection inside scared her, every time she saw this kind of ancient well, it always reminded her of the Liao Zhai she had seen before, so there wouldn't be something hidden underneath, right?

She shivered and took two steps back, looking back at Liu Yan'er.

Liu Yan'er pursed her lips and glanced at Xiao Xia with disgust: "You stinky girl, do you think of my sister and me?" Fortunately, sister, I don't have ten fingers that don't touch the spring water, nothing else, I still know how to fetch water, let me come! ”

She easily picked up the bucket and threw it into the well, shook it twice skillfully, submerged the barrel in the water, and then pulled the rope up, and she complained as she collected the rope: "Why don't you even have a winch to draw water?" They must have done it on purpose, this well hasn't been used for years? It's no wonder if you don't get killed if you fall in! Qiu'er, be careful! ”

Liu Yan'er poured water into the big water tank behind her, and it took five or six buckets in a row to fill half of it, she was a little tired, pinched her sleeve and wiped her forehead, "Alas, this is an individual job!" ”

She saw Xiao Xia standing aside stupidly, her eyes rolled, and she smiled and said, "Qiu'er, shall I discuss it with you?" In the future, we will divide the labor and do it, I will fetch water and you will wash the bucket......"

Xiao Xia immediately frowned, this girl is really lazy, she wants to push off all the work when she fetches water, so I'd rather fetch water myself!

"Oh, don't be angry, look at your body, let you come and fetch water? You're definitely not going to be able to, so let's learn from each other's strengths...... Otherwise, how about I wash the bucket of the master, and the rest will be yours?

You must know that the master's gong bucket is the most difficult to wash, and if it is not done well, the second young grandmother may use this to ask me for sin, I am for your good, do you know if you help me bear the guilt? ”

Seeing Liu Yan'er's straightforward appearance, he said that he had taken advantage of it.

But it makes sense to think about it, the master's bucket has to be washed and sent back, the most troublesome thing is, I'd rather do more things than provoke the master, not to mention that I really can't do the job of fetching water.

Xiao Xia nodded, and Liu Yan'er patted her shoulder happily: "That's right, sister, I have always taken care of you, how can I take advantage of you?" I've done all the hard stuff, Qiu'er, the two toilets in the courtyard ......"

Liu Yan'er blinked: "Please leave it to you, okay?" ”

Xiao Xia lowered her face again, glared at her dissatisfied, Liu Yan'er took her arm and pouted: "Okay, Qiu'er?" Qiu'er~~~~Okay, okay~~"

Her Qiu'er scream made Xiao Xia's whole body numb, this power is too strong, she can't stand it!

"Oh, Qiu'er, you won't suffer, and I won't be lazy with your cleaning.

At this hour I went to serve my master. Please the master, and cultivate feelings with the sisters and sisters up and down the house, maybe the master will be happy. Wouldn't it be better if we were exempted from punishment in three or five days, and then we wouldn't have to do this indiscriminate work?

Believe me, it will definitely be done, good sister, yes! ”

Of course Natsu would, even if she didn't do anything. Run out without saying a word and be lazy, don't you have to do all these things yourself? Who made himself unable to speak, Liu Yan'er was clever. In three or two sentences, you can put all the responsibility on yourself, and in your current situation, there is no better way than to stay honestly and secretly look for opportunities.

After the two discussed. Liu Yan'er took a breath of excitement and slowly filled the big water tank. Then he rolled up his sleeves with his pointed fingers, and followed Xiao Xia's example, first rinsing the Gong bucket thoroughly with water, and then scrubbing it with a special brush.

Both of them did this for the first time, and it took a whole morning to clean up this pile of Gong buckets, Xiao Xia washed more than 20 of them, Liu Yan'er took care of that colorful Gong bucket and still needed help, and there were many troubles, Xiao Xia suddenly felt that he had really picked up a bargain.

The two of them finally managed to straighten up and move around. I heard the stingy voice again: "Yo, it's really finished?" Not bad. Oh, I'll just say it's all human life, what else is pretending to be a big lady? ”

Xiao Xia turned around, and sure enough, she saw Birou coming in with Ma Pozi.

Birou tilted her head slightly and said: "Granny Ma, check carefully and see clearly, whether everything is cleaned, this is what the young grandmother ordered, but no one can cheat." ”

"Alas, yes!" Ma Pozi respectfully agreed, paused slightly from Liu Yan'er's side, the two glanced at each other, Ma Pozi checked one by one, and specially leaned over to smell it, and then said to Bi Ju:

"Miss Birou, it's very clean, the two girls are doing well."

"Oh? Can you see clearly? If the second young grandmother is not satisfied, you will also be responsible for holding it accountable, you know? ”

Ma Pozi smiled awkwardly: "This ...... This ......"

"Sister Birou, if you are not satisfied, you can smell them one by one!" Liu Yan'er didn't say a word, Birou glanced at her, and said lightly:

"Don't be too happy, let's talk about it after the second young grandmother's pass, and also, the two toilets outside and the toilets in this courtyard are cleaned together, and you are not allowed to eat if you don't clean them!"

"Sister Birou, the second young grandmother let us work, didn't say she wouldn't let us eat! It's not good for you to keep announcing your personal vendetta like this, right? Alas, it's the big girl next to the second young grandmother, just this little bit of energy, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth when they say it! ”

"You ......" Birou was so angry that her face turned white, and Ma Pozi cleanly inserted it in the middle to play a round: "Okay, okay, the two girls don't say a word, by the way, Birou girl, the second young grandmother is waiting to congratulate the bucket, the old slave will bring it over, right?" ”

Birou glared at Liu Yan'er coldly: "I'm not afraid of your hard mouth, when you suffer, hum!" ”

She turned her head angrily and left, Ma Pozi hurriedly carried the second young grandmother's gong bucket, paused slightly when she passed in front of Liu Yan'er, and said in a low voice: "The second young master is back at noon, and he will go to the big study in the afternoon." ”

Birou turned around and said angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Let my young grandmother wait for you? ”

"Hey, it's coming!"

Watching the two of them leave one after the other, the corners of Liu Yan'er's mouth hooked slightly, and she turned back with a sneer: "Qiu'er, let's go, let's eat." ”

Lunch was still eaten in the big kitchen, and after the meal, Xiao Xia went back to the room to rest, but Liu Yan'er kept sitting at the door of the room, telling Xiao Xia some jokes without a match.

After a while, she suddenly stared outside, her eyes unblinking, as if she was looking at something.

Xiao Xia leaned over to take a look, and saw the second young master Li Taiming coming out of the upper room, talking to Zhuang Silian with a smile on his face and walking towards the gate of the courtyard, and when Zhuang Silian returned to play, Liu Yan'er stood up and touched her hair:

"Oh, where is my head? It must have been lost when Fang was eating, Qiu'er, you rest first, I'll go out and look for it! Oh, by the way, I'll leave it to you for the afternoon, I might have to come back later. ”

After she finished speaking, she gently and skillfully flashed out of the door, and slipped away to the small courtyard where she had just washed the bucket on the side, remembering that there was a small door in the courtyard over there to go out, this girl must have hooked up with Li Taiming.

Seeing her so positive, Xiao Xia was relieved, but fortunately, with such an eye-catching character as Liu Yan'er with her, everyone's attention would fall on her, and she was relaxed.

After settling down, the master allowed us to go around when we can go around, maybe we can't wait that long, according to Liu Yan'er's ability, I believe that sooner or later she will find the whereabouts of the colorful beads, what I have to do is to do things honestly, listen to her seriously, once I find something, I will do my best to get it and leave.

It's seven or eight days like this, every morning Liu Yan'er and Xiao Xia go to the side courtyard to wash the bucket, and in the afternoon, Liu Yan'er doesn't see her figure, sometimes she will slip away in the middle of the morning, but she will definitely help herself fill the water tank before leaving.

Therefore, Xiao Xia didn't complain about Liu Yan'er, and never asked where she went? What did you do? She is willing to say that Xiao Xia listens honestly, and she doesn't want to say that Xiao Xia never ignores it.

In the first few days, Birou often came over to show off her martial arts to find faults, but she was narrow-minded and not sharp enough, she was not Liu Yan'er's opponent at all, and she finally couldn't come after suffering many losses, and I don't know if she was convinced or found another way?

In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the tenth day, Xiao Xia had just finished the toilet and went back to the house to pack her clothes and prepare to take a shower, but when she went out, she saw Birou standing at the door with a cold face.

Xiao Xia was startled, and stood for a moment to find Zhuang Silian looking at herself a few steps behind her, Xiao Xia hurriedly saluted, and Bi Rou said lightly: "Are you alone?" She's gone? ”

Xiao Xia shook her head to indicate that she didn't know, and Birou pursed her lips and muttered, "It's really troublesome that you can't even speak!" Go and give the master a salute, the master has something to say to you. ”

Xiao Xia bowed her head and walked in front of Zhuang Silian to salute, but Zhuang Silian didn't let her be exempt, so she let her squat like that, and said indifferently: "How are you doing these days?" ”

Xiao Xia paused, not understanding what she meant, and of course unable to answer.

And Zhuang Silian didn't intend to listen to her answer, and walked slowly with her pace: "You come in with Liu Yan'er, and I will let you be punished together, do you feel wronged?" ”

Natsu shook her head.

"Heh, you don't dare to say that you are wronged, right?"

Natsu shook her head again.

"That's it, it's a vain question to ask, I heard that ...... Liu Yan'er is often lazy, so let you wash that pile of gong buckets alone, right? She runs out all day long, don't you envy her?

You don't have to answer, I know you must be envious, and you must be a little dissatisfied with her, right?

Alas, poor boy, obviously a smart and clever one, why can't he speak, if you can have Liu Yan'er's mouth, it will be perfect!

That's it, providence makes people, how can there be such a perfect person in the world? Alas! ”

Zhuang Silian sighed for a long time, and listened to Xiao Xia in a fog, not understanding what the point of her words was?

At the end, Zhuang Silian stopped in front of her and whispered, "Qiu'er, are you willing to be my confidant and do things for me?" ”

Xiao Xia was startled, couldn't help but look up at her, and then quickly lowered her head and didn't move.

"Listen, I'll give you a task, you must do it well, as long as you do it well, you will benefit from it in the future. You show me Liu Yan'er, pay attention to her words and deeds, and report to me every day, understand? (To be continued.) )
