Chapter 17: Who Stole Man?

Early in the morning, Yu Xiaoxiu washed and dressed, and breakfast was served on the table, Yu Shu hadn't gotten up yet, he thought she was lazy and sick again, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked over and kicked the bed legs, and shouted angrily:

"Get up, don't sleep, get up."

Behind the tent, Yu Shu turned over, hugged the pillow, and continued to sleep.

Yu Xiaoxiu twisted his brows, reached out and grabbed the corner of her quilt, and pulled it out.

"Get up!"

The morning of early spring was still cold, there was no quilt, only wearing a middle coat, Yu Shu was awakened by the freeze all of a sudden, opened her eyes, looked at the figure outside the bed tent, and muttered, she got up slowly, stretched her waist, rubbed her arms, and said:

"Xiao Xiu, go get me clean clothes."

Last night in the woods, she crawled out, the pair of wild mandarin ducks harmed her didn't get anything done, the third watch returned to the house in the middle of the night, afraid of waking up Yu Xiaoxiu, took off her dirty clothes, and fell asleep.

Yu Xiaoxiu threw the quilt back on her bed, went to the closet and turned her out in a clean dress, and threw it to her.

"Hurry up and get dressed, and sleep as much as you want after eating."

Yu Shu put on a short shirt while fighting against the sleepy insects, and after realizing his words, he said in a daze:

"Aren't you going to the bookstore?"

Yu Xiaoxiu snorted, picked up the dirty clothes she put at the end of the bed, and said:

"You're dazed, today is February 17th, Ning Zhenniang's death anniversary, the whole world has to stop for a day, you can't learn or count, what kind of class to take."

"Oh, look at my memory," Yu Shu patted his head, secretly speechless, only to know that Lu Dao said so.

There is no need to go to school, after eating, Yu Shu thought about washing last night's dirty clothes and putting them in a wooden basin to carry them out, but as soon as he went out, he was robbed by Aunt Liu.

"Miss Young Master, go play, the slave is idle today, and I will wash everything that should be washed for you."

Although Aunt Liu is the subordinate brought by Aunt Cui, she is now a slave of the Ji family, Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu are not considered to be the young masters and young masters of the Ji family.

Yu Shu scratched his neck, stretched out his hand, grabbed his back through his clothes, and grabbed Aunt Liu with his other hand.

"Aunt Liu, is there hot water behind the house?"

"Yes, Miss wants water?"

"No," Yu Shu turned his head to look at Yu Xiaoxiu, who was reading a book in the room, and whispered to her: "I want to wipe my body, I dreamed last night and sweated." ”

She has been here for many days, she has washed her hair once, knowing that boiling water is a waste of firewood, she didn't dare to ask for a bath, but last night in the grass for a long time, the night passed, the body was sticky and itchy, can't take a bath, let her wipe her body.

Aunt Liu saw that she was scratching the itch vigorously, and listened to her request, her face was a little strange, and she glanced at her a few times before putting down her dirty clothes first, and pulling her to her room with one hand.

Aunt Liu lives alone, living in a single room, the room is half smaller than Yu Shu's sister and brother, she took Yu Shu to the house and sat down on her bed.

"Miss wants to take a bath, you sit, the slave maid will go and carry water, and then bring you a change of clothes to wear."

Aunt Liu ran out of the house, and after a while, she came back with a half-person high wooden basin, Yu Shu's eyes lit up when she saw this basin, she saw that someone in the yard had washed clothes with this big basin, but she didn't expect to use this as a bathtub.

Putting down the basin in the corner of the house, Aunt Liu ran out of the room to carry water again, and a bucket of hot water was poured into the wooden basin, bubbling with white haze, and it was itchy to see Yu Shuxin.

She watched Aunt Liu busy going in and out, and she couldn't help it, so she stood up and wanted to help, but Aunt Liu refused with a smile:

"Miss is sensible now, in the past, when she wanted to take a bath, she was crying and asking the slave to go to the aunt to carry the bath bucket for you, the slave persuaded you not to listen, and you were inevitably scolded by the aunt, in fact, you are still young, it is enough to wash with this basin, you sit here and wait, and the slave and maid will go to pick up a bucket of cold water."

Yu Shu watched Aunt Liu run out of the city with an empty bucket, and her heart was not good, compared to Aunt Liu's careful care, that Aunt Cui's indifference to her own children was really chilling, she was uncomfortable with this fake, let alone Yu Xiaoxiu's original.

***

I took a bath in a wooden basin for laundry, there was no shampoo or bath liquid, and I couldn't even stretch my legs and feet, but Yu Shu's feeling was unprecedentedly happy.

She changed into clean clothes from the inside out, wrapped her wet hair with a cloth, and worked with Aunt Liu to carry the wooden basin to the yard, poured water on a few trees against the wall, and put the clothes that Aunt Liu had washed when she took a bath on the clothesline and shook it.

After finishing this, Yu Shu returned to the house refreshed, and saw that Yu Xiaoxiu was still holding a book to read, so he leaned over, knelt on the bench, stretched out his arm under the tip of his nose, and said with a smile:

"Smell it, it doesn't smell good."

Yu Xiaoxiu pushed her hand away, and said without raising her head: "If you have nothing to do, go to sleep, don't bother me." ”

Yu Shu didn't bother him anymore, and after sitting down, he took off the cloth on his head, tilted his head, and said while wiping his hair:

"If you read like this, after a long time, your eyes will be broken, and you won't be able to read clearly on the paper when you lie on the paper, so don't look at it yet, and stand in the courtyard for a while."

Yu Xiaoxiu snorted and didn't move.

"Yu Xiaoxiu," Yu Shu threw the towel on the table, folded his hands on his chest, and straightened his face, "No matter what, I'm your sister, talking to you, you listen to you as a deaf ear, who taught you to be so rude?" ”

"Smack," Yu Xiaoxiu put the book upside down on the table, and walked out with a tiger face.

Yu Shu achieved his goal, raised his eyebrows proudly, grabbed the towel and went back to the bed to lie down, crossed Erlang's legs, and took out the word that Cao Zixin gave him yesterday from under the pillow, and reviewed it in a low voice:

"Cloth paper, cold gold paper, clear paper, rattan paper, hemp paper"

I didn't sleep well last night, and after reading for a while, she was drowsy, and was wandering in her dreams, when she suddenly heard a noise outside the yard, she rubbed her eyes, sat up with her body, and saw at the door, Aunt Liu was holding the door frame with both hands, blocking the two family-looking men, not letting them in, Yu Xiaoxiu stood behind her stupidly, and the two sides were arguing:

"What's going on, why do you want to drive our young master out of the country, you make it clear first."

"What's clear and unclear, Aunt Cui stole someone, the third master was furious, and he had already beaten people out of the city, these two little ones have to get out, if you stop them again, just go with them!".
