After eating, Ah Xiang followed Shen Ruomeng back to the house. Maybe she said too much today, Shen Ruomeng felt a little tired, so she asked Ah Xiang to prepare the bath water. Well, these are all prepared, Ah Xiang just needs to call someone over. But what about taking a bath? She won't serve! Follow Shen Ruomeng to the back of the screen, it turns out that this is a bath. While Ah Xiang was still struggling, Shen Ruomeng had already taken off her clothes with the help of other maidservants and stepped into the bathtub. The maidservants put their clean clothes on the wooden shelves beside the bathtub and then they all withdrew.

"Ah Xiang?" called Ah Xiang, but no one answered, and Shen Ruomeng called again.

"Huh? Here it comes. Ah Xiang woke up at this time, walked to the bathtub tremblingly, and muttered in her heart, don't look at indecent things, don't look at indecent things. But I couldn't help but glance at it, and one glance was enough to see everything. The tub was filled with water, and the mist was rising, and the delicate petals were floating on the water, and the fragrance seemed to emanate with the mist. Shen Ruomeng didn't have a wisp of it, leaned back against the bathtub, scooped water with his hands to wash his smooth body, and enjoyed it with a face, without scruples about being present. How can such a beautiful scenery not make people bleed?

Ah Xiang is indeed flushed now, but you think it's shy? Wrong! It was smoked, and if you look at it indecently, you are afraid that your eyes will stick to it. Thinking about the beginning, I saw my roommate in the big bathhouse, and I caught it at the first opportunity, which made my roommate angry every time. Forget it, I don't want to think about it, it was a long time ago, and it's too sad to say. Let's take a look at the one in front of you. But it's really nothing to see, and the chest is only the size of a xiaolongbao, or a xiaolongbao that cuts corners. Ah Xiang silently looked down at his chest - I am proud of myself!

"Ah Xiang?" Shen Ruomeng saw that Ah Xiang had not helped him scrub his body for a long time, and he was a little puzzled, and turned his head, just in time to see Ah Xiang looking down and not knowing what he was looking at.

"Ah Xiang?"

"Huh?" Ah Xiang pulled out of her thoughts, reacted, picked up wet wipes and carefully scrubbed Shen Ruomeng's back. Fingers inadvertently touch each other's skin, so slippery!

"Ah Xiang, what's wrong with you today? Why do you feel a lot more rusty than usual? Shen Ruomeng was a little dissatisfied.

"Maybe it's because the body hasn't recovered yet" Ah Xiang lowered her head and said in a low tone, "Miss, the slave knows that she is wrong." ”

As soon as he heard Ah Xiang say that his body had not yet recovered, Shen Ruomeng lost most of his anger, coupled with this tone, what else is there to be angry?

"It's okay, it's okay. It's not your fault in the first place. Shen Ruomeng lowered his head, picked up the petals on the water with his hand, and his tone was also low. She was too angry that day, because Ye Chenqing's excellent performance at the banquet made her very jealous. So much so that when I was walking by the river, I didn't pay attention to my feet, and I stepped on the air and fell into the water. Although Ah Xiang couldn't save herself, she bore the brunt of it to save herself, how could she say that she wasn't moved? What if something really happened to Ah Xiang...... She's going to be sad.

For a moment, the air seemed to be a little condensed. Ah Xiang didn't know what to say, so she had to continue to help her scrub her body.

It's finally over, and although the bath hasn't been long yet, Ah Xiang feels like he's been released. Shen Ruomeng got up, Ah Xiang picked up a dry towel to dry his body, and picked up the clothes on the shelf for Shen Ruomeng to put on. During the whole process, Ah Xiang swears, she has no evil thoughts in her heart!

After bathing, Shen Ruomeng went to bed to rest. At this time, a maid came in from outside, about the same age as Xiao Tao. "Sister Xiang, go back."

Ah Xiang smiled and nodded, his steps were light, he crossed the threshold, and retreated. Fortunately, there were still a lot of people in the house at this time, and the lights were bright. Otherwise, Ah Xiang wouldn't know how to move away.

After walking a distance, I saw Xiao Tao, who should have sent Shen Ruomeng's dirty clothes to the laundry room, and had just come back from the laundry room.

"Little Peach!" Ah Xiang shouted excitedly.

Xiao Tao heard someone shouting to herself, and when she turned around and saw that it was Sister Ah Xiang, she was also very excited, and hurriedly ran to Ah Xiang with a lantern.

"Sister Xiang!"

Seeing Xiao Tao smiling like a peach blossom, Ah Xiang felt a sense of pride for some reason. What does that feel like? It should be the eldest and younger brothers.

"Little Peach, have you eaten?" I didn't eat anything this day, and Ah Xiang was almost starving to death.

"Nope!" Little Peach is also hungry.

"Then let's go find something to eat!" Saying that, Ah Xiang took Xiao Tao and walked forward. The kitchen is on the left side of where the owners live, and the lower room is on the right.

Ah Xiang led Xiao Tao to the kitchen, found something to eat, and went back.

After entering the river again, the scenery is beautiful, but at this time, the black light is blinding, and the lantern in Xiao Tao's hand alone has no effect at all. Ah Xiang didn't tell Xiao Tao, she hugged her because she wanted Xiao Tao to lead her, because Ah Xiang had her eyes closed for the whole journey. On the way, Ah Xiang pretended to chat with Xiao Tao calmly, of course, with her eyes closed.

"Little Peach, I don't know how old you are?"

Xiao Tao was held by Ah Xiang in one arm, and the lantern in the other hand, swaying with the pace.

"I'm eleven! The year before last, he sold himself to the house" Xiao Tao looked at the road ahead with a lantern, and when he said that he was selling himself, his tone was obviously lowered, and it was not a good memory to think about. seems to have poked at someone else's sore spot, Ah Xiang was a little embarrassed, so she continued the topic.

Suddenly, Ah Xiang's whole body was crooked, and Xiao Tao was also a little unstable, and the lantern shook violently, almost extinguished.

"Sister Xiang!" Xiao Tao shouted worriedly.

"It's fine." Well, stepping on the side of the road. The next Lu Ah Xiang walked more carefully.

When it finally arrived, Ah Xiang felt a thin layer of sweat behind her.

This is where the people live, and the houses are not as good as the owners, and the height alone is much lower. However, this is Shangshu Mansion, even if it is a lower room, it will not be too bad. Ah Xiang has her own room because of her high rank. But at this time, Ah Xiang looked at the dark room in front of him and hesitated.

"Little Peach, you can go in with me!"

Xiao Tao was puzzled but didn't say anything, and followed Sister Ah Xiang into the house.

Ah Xiang took out the fire fold from her clothes and lit the candle, which made her feel better.

"Then Sister Xiang, I'm leaving." Xiao Tao turned around and left when she saw that she had nothing to do, and gave Ah Xiang a big smile before leaving, this is a simple little girl who loves to laugh.

Looking at Xiao Tao's gradually departing figure, Ah Xiang looked around, still frightened, and rushed to the dresser to cover the bronze mirror. In the past, even if I turned on all the lights in my house, I was still afraid, but how much of a difference can a candle make here? Fortunately, there were not many people resting at this time, and there were still many people walking around in the yard, which made Ah Xiang feel a little better.

Ah Xiang went to the yard to fetch water, planning to take a bath. After all, you're just a maid now, so don't expect others to wait for you.

Ah Xiang carried the wooden bucket to the place where the hot water was drawn, and an old woman was fetching water.

"Ah Xiang, come and get hot water!" When the old woman saw Ah Xiang, she asked as she poured water into the wooden bucket with a scoop.

"Yes, Aunt Liu!" Ah Xiang replied with a smile, this is Aunt Liu, working in the kitchen. Today, Tong Guò listened to them call each other, and with the help of Xiao Tao, Ah Xiang had already written down most of the people.

Aunt Liu saw that the bucket was filled with water, so she handed the scoop to Ah Xiang, but she did not leave, chatting with Ah Xiang.

"Ah Xiang, your body is already well."

Ah Xiang took the scoop and began to scoop water into the wooden bucket.

"It's almost good! Thank you Aunt Liu for your concern. ”

"Why is this kid so polite?" Aunt Liu smiled and reprimanded, "Ah Xiang, it's going to be over next year, right?" ”

Ah Xiang was stunned, she didn't know how big her body was, but it should indeed be fourteen or fifteen years old.

"yes, what's wrong?" I was a little puzzled why Aunt Liu suddenly mentioned this.

"Is there anyone you like?" Yes, this is to be a matchmaker! But how old is she?

"Nope." Ah Xiang pretended to be shy.

"What do you think of Ah Niu?" Ah Niu, who is also a subordinate in the house, has only met him once, and he looks like a very honest person, but what does it have to do with her? Could it be that Aunt Liu wants to help the two of them be matchmakers? No wonder he was also looking at himself when he looked at that Ah Niu, but there was dodging in his eyes. But this is not good, not to mention that her body is too young, and the other party is only a half-grown child in Ah Xiang's eyes, isn't it sixteen or seventeen years old! What's more, she doesn't have that idea, she is ready to die alone here.

"Ah Niu, Ah Niu people are very good." Ah Xiang didn't know what to say, so she had to deal with it casually.

"That's right, this Ah Niu is honest, and if he marries a daughter-in-law in the future, he will definitely be a master who loves his daughter-in-law." Here, Aunt Liu began to talk about Ah Niu's good again.

Ah Xiang saw that the bucket was filled with most of the water, so she didn't continue, and she couldn't carry it.

"Aunt Liu, I'm going back!" Ah Xiang said apologetically.

"Huh? Good. Aunt Liu was still talking here, and suddenly when she heard such a sentence, she didn't react.

"Then Aunt Liu, I'm leaving." After speaking, Ah Xiang carried the bucket with difficulty, both hands were used, her body swayed, the water in the bucket shook wantonly in the bucket, and a lot of splashed out, fortunately it was not full, otherwise it would be even worse.

Aunt Liu saw Ah Xiang walking forward with difficulty, and said, "I'll let Ah Niu help you." "No, Aunt Liu, I can do it myself." "What can you do, Aunt Liu, I'll help you carry it back." Saying that, Aunt Liu wanted to step forward to help her. Ah Xiang really had a hard time carrying the water back, but she didn't want to trouble others, and some things had to be slowly adapted. Aunt Liu saw that Ah Xiang insisted, so she compromised. Watching Ah Xiang slowly move into her room, Aunt Liu sighed, this Ah Niu asked her to be a matchmaker, looking at Ah Xiang's attitude, she shouldn't have that idea. Why did you agree in the first place, how can you explain it now? When I finally remembered the hot water next to me, I didn't see much heat coming up, so I had to take it back quickly. Then I saw Aunt Liu violently pick up the wooden bucket full of water with one hand and walk towards the house, with a steady pace, as if the things in her hands had no weight at all, if Ah Xiang saw it, she would not be surprised to death.

Here, Ah Xiang finally carried the bucket to the house, and the bucket fell heavily to the ground, splashing a lot of water, and at this time the bucket was only half of the water. Ah Xiang turned around and bolted the door, looked around and then at the candle on the table, thought for a while, and blew out the candle. Then he took off his clothes and scrubbed himself with a towel. No way, there is no bathtub here, so you can only do it, but some of them are good to wash.

After scrubbing at will, Ah Xiang quickly dried his body, put on his clothes, and lit candles.

"Whew" Ah Xiang patted his chest and exhaled.

Then I quickly tidied up, blew out the candle and shrunk into the quilt, if the house was always on, it would be said by others. Although candles will be distributed on time, they must also be saved. This Ah Xiang also knows a little, and candles are also rare, and poor people can't afford them.

So sure enough, it is still the quilt that can give people the most sense of security, and at this time, Ah Xiang is wrapped tightly in the quilt.
