Yu Shu stood outside the door of Jingshutang, looking at the hanging high door plaque, the black hole on the steps of a few steps, scratching the back of his hand.

It turns out that Jingshutang is not a pond?

She hesitated for half a step, walked up the steps made of blue and white stone, and walked into the Jingshu Hall with her probe.

As soon as you enter the door, your sight suddenly opens up, in the center of the hall of nearly three hundred square meters, there is a huge compass obliquely, in the middle of a lively yin and yang fish, the outer ring is a ring and a ring, from the ground to say that there is a ceiling with a height of five meters, there is a large skylight, the sunlight obliquely shines inside, shining on the compass, showing the golden, a circle of complicated words, a black pointer floating in the center of the disk, pointing to one side.

There are narrow skylights in front and back of the hall, and a light beam penetrates, shining on the east and west walls, I don't know what things are coiled, densely floating, as if the gears are biting, Yu Shu squinted his eyes and looked closely, and found that it was actually countless small compasses, dark red plate bottoms, golden rings, and black pointers, pointing in all directions, dazzling.

Several middle-aged people in blue-gray robes, combed buns, and tied with moon-white hairbands, were holding paper and pens, wandering among the countless compasses, thinking in fragments, as if they were calculating something.

"Who is it?"

Someone found Yu Shu at the door, stopped working, and asked loudly, and the echo instantly sounded in this empty hall, and the rest of the people turned around to see Yu Shu at the door.

Yu Shu came back to his senses from the amazing picture on the wall, stood inside the door, and said:

"The old lady punished me to clean up."

"Huh?" The man hesitated, turned his head and whispered a few words to his companion before he said to Yu Shu: "There is a bucket behind the house, you go and fetch a bucket of water first." ”

Yu Shu let out an "oh" and went out to find the bucket.

As soon as she left, several people in the room began to chat:

"How long has it been since no one has been punished for cleaning here? The last time was a year ago, Miss Four made a mistake and was sent in. ”

"I haven't heard of any young master in the family who made a big mistake?"

"I look at that little girl's appearance, she looks like a maid, when the maid makes a mistake, she will send it to us, the old lady is confused."

"Who knows, if you don't have a special explanation, you don't need to discipline us, just send her to clean the work."

"Ahem."

A light cough sounded in a corner of the hall indistinctly, and several Yike, who were gossiping, heard it, looked at each other a few times, made a silent gesture, and dispersed, each busy with their own business.

After a meal, Yu Shu came back from fetching water, the nearest wellhead was not far from here, but she had an injury on her arm, and she walked back with a bucket of water, which was very difficult.

As soon as he gasped and put the water down in the hall, someone pointed to the corner of the wall and commanded:

"Go to the box and take two cloths, wipe them from the east wall, be careful not to damage the needle, first wipe the hexagram plate with a damp cloth, and then wipe it again with a dry cloth, be sure not to leave water droplets."

Yu Shuhuan glanced at the hundreds of compasses hanging on the wall of the hall, secretly complained, and couldn't help but confirm:

"Do you want to wipe them all?"

"Of course."

An old lady, you might as well ask her to wash the pond!

After making trouble for a long time, the beating yesterday was still light, this is the real corporal punishment.

Yu Shu resignedly walked to the box in the corner, opened it, and was taken aback again, pulled out a ball of soft cloth, and touched it, it turned out to be a good cotton cloth, which people couldn't afford to wear, so they used it as a rag.

Cao Zixin's Mianzhai is opposite the silk shop, the Wu shopkeeper who once called her in vain will occasionally come to the door, chatting, she has inquired about the price of cloth, such a box of cotton cloth, I am afraid that it will not be twenty taels of silver, so wasteful!

What do you feel sorry for, this is the Ji family's money.

Yu Shu thought so, and suddenly felt comforted, so he pulled out a large ball of cloth, pressed it into the bucket and got wet, wrung it clean and wrapped it around the palm of his hand, carried the bucket to the east wall of the hall, and wiped it from the first compass in front of him.

This time, the problem came again, she was still a child who had not grown, she was not tall enough, this compass was criss-crossed, and the top pieces of each row, she stretched out her hand and jumped up and couldn't reach it.

I didn't stand stupidly, I swept around the hall, and saw a short ladder standing under the opposite wall, so I ran over and moved it, and without anyone needing guidance, I leaned the ladder against the gap in the compass, climbed up and continued to wipe.

She was not idle when she was working, and took this opportunity to see what the compass looked like, Yu Shu had seen Liu Fuzi use the compass to explain Yi Li and hexagrams in class, and if she didn't understand it, she was not interested, and now she looked at it herself, the small compass on the wall, each one is a shape.

A compass has five circles, the innermost is painted with yin and yang, the outer four circles are separated by eight hexagram lines, and each grid is written with words, there are heavenly and earthly branches, there are star positions, there are Qiankun gossip, there are life, death, rest and injury, and so on.

After rubbing more, I also found that the words of the five circles of these compasses are not the same, and the direction of the pointer is also different, and the same is only the shape.

Yu Shu was annoyed that he didn't know enough traditional Chinese characters, and he didn't understand the slightest bit of Yiyi, and he couldn't understand what was written on these compasses.

I thought about it, and I did things neatly, I was not a person who was rubbing, I wiped it one by one, first wet and then dried, and went out to change three buckets of water, and waited for the black pointer of the compass in the center of the hall to stay on it, and she finished wiping a wall.

She counted six hundred compasses in total, and she was sweating all over her body, the bruises on her hands had long since lost consciousness due to soreness, and her fingers were red and swollen from soaking water.

Holding on to the ladder and resting for a while, carrying the clean water in the poke to the opposite side, approaching, I found that in the corner of the shady wall at this end of the hall, there was a bamboo bed, the bed was covered with futon, and a person was facing away from her, curled up, sleeping on the bamboo bed with his arms on his side, just blocking a dozen compasses in that small area.

What's going on, and there's still a person living in this place?

Yu Shu walked over with a bucket in wonder, stopped beside the bed, looked back at the few people working in the hall, and found that no one cared about her, so she put down the bucket, put the rag on the edge of the bucket, rubbed the water on her body, bent down, and went to see the person lying on the bed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she lowered her head, the man turned over, a withered old face was less than a few inches away from her, and a pair of thief eyes stared at her, so frightened that she took two steps back, and kicked down the bucket behind her with a "bang".

Then, she slipped on her feet, sat on the ground with her buttocks, fell firmly, and gritted her teeth in pain, and the person on the bed was lying like that, looking at her with a pair of eyes open, and her mouth grinned, and she laughed loudly:

"Hahaha!".
