Chapter 357: Little Traitor Yutong
Poor Li Dong didn't know that he had become a turtle among others, and sat proudly at home waiting to see Xin Muyuan's jokes.
Ten horses of Nanxiang Jinxiu can make about 30 pieces of clothing, and six people cooperated, and it took five days to sew.
Mrs. Li and several of her maids also took advantage of the five days to rush day and night to make more than ten pairs of beautiful shoes, and the rest was completed by the maids who bought them.
Clothes can't be worn immediately after they are finished, and they have to be cleaned properly after so many people's hands.
Cui Shuang smiled: "Leave the laundry to Yutong to do, she has a trick to wash clothes, and the clothes that come out are soft and clean!" ”
The other girls testified to Cuijing: "Yes, yes, the clothes washed by Yutong made us the cleanest, smoothest, and smelled of fragrance. ”
"We asked her for the ropes, but she wouldn't tell us."
The girls were babbling and kowtowing their hats to Yutong.
Mrs. Li frowned slightly, disliking the girls led by Cuishuang more and more.
In the past five days, she has seen that Cuishuang and others are always doing rest, on the other hand, Yutong always works silently, and the work in her hands has never stopped.
These thirty pieces of clothing, a lot of credit comes from Yutong.
Sometimes Mrs. Li couldn't stand it anymore, so she let Yu Tong rest. But Yu Tong is like a character who can't stop, just let her rest, and she also changes places to find some work, which makes Mrs. Li's two maids a lot easier.
In the face of the pushing and shoving of several girls, Yutong hung his head and did not speak. Cuishuang smiled and said, "It seems that Yutong has agreed." ”
"Cui ......" Mrs. Li held her breath in her heart, and was about to help Yu Tong say a few words, when she saw this taciturn girl raise her eyes for the first time, her clear and clean eyes looked directly into her eyes, without the slightest fear and fear, and shook her head slightly.
Many thoughts popped up in Mrs. Li's heart for a short time, but she still couldn't guess Yu Tong's heart, and she could only understand that Yu Tong was used to being bullied and didn't want to provoke right and wrong.
Come to think of it, after today, the five of them will still be returned to the hands of the people. If it was because of her that Yutong was hated by Cuishuang and others, I am afraid that it would be very sad to live without her.
Mrs. Li, who wanted to understand, turned her head and said, "Cuishuang, are you telling the truth?" ”
Creamy noticed Madame's ups and downs, wondering why her mood had changed. Turning her head to look at Yutong, she still hung her head and looked cowardly, thinking that Madame had always been unpretentious, maybe she had thought too much.
Then he said: "Mrs. Hui, half a sentence is true." ”
Mrs. Li bowed her head: "In this way, let Yu Tong wash it." ”
"Yes." Yutong bowed and bowed his head to do it, and there were no superfluous words and no dissatisfaction as before.
Cuishuang looked at her back, hooked her lips, and followed after the lady left.
"Yukiri." She stood behind Yutong and called her.
Yutong had just received the warm water and was about to press the splendid inside. Cuishuang swept his eyes: "Warm water? ”
Yu Tong bowed his head and took a step back: "Miss Cuishuang can check." ”
The name "Miss" was given to her by Cuishuang herself, and she liked to serve her like a slave.
Cui Shuang squatted down, stretched out her calloused hand to imitate the appearance of a noble lady, raised her orchid finger and stroked it on the water, nodded with satisfaction, pointed to Yu Tong's sleeve, and said, "Don't forget our mission here." ”
Yu Tong didn't know what he remembered, his body trembled slightly, he lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Yu Tong doesn't dare to forget, please rest assured." ”
Creamy nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave. Just as Yutong squatted down to get his clothes, Cuishuang suddenly turned around and knocked down a large bag of salt from Yutong's sleeve.
The fist-sized salt bag fell into the basin, and the paper bag melted, scattering all the salt into the water.
"Stir it up." Cream's smile was full.
Yutong stretched out her trembling fingers, stirred the salt, and shoved Jinxiu in front of her.
Cuishuang then left with peace of mind.
Yu Tong looked at her back, the fear on his face dissipated little by little, took out a full amount of ice from another sleeve that had never moved, stuffed it under the brocade, felt the warm water slowly cold, and put his fingertips in it for just one breath, and it was cold and red.
She took out eight lemon slices and stuffed them into the clothes made of splendid embroidery, and stuffed them completely into the water, so that the salty ice water and lemons soaked the clothes completely, and after a full quarter of an hour, she fished out the clothes, changed the basin of clean cold water or rinsed, and finally finished the last washing with warm water and hung up.
After thirty pieces of clothing were washed, it was already evening.
Yutong stretched and found the courtyard quiet. She probed her head to search, but no one else was seen.
"Miss Cuishuang, Mrs. Li, Lord Li, are you there?"
Yutong searched around the courtyard where he entered, but no one could find him.
Her stomach rumbled, she walked into the kitchen, and saw that the rice was still hot on the stove, and there was a note by the stove that read Juanxiu's hairpin.
"Yu Tong, the task is over today, seeing that you are still busy, I will take them to Tianyue Restaurant for dinner, and send them back later. I've left you food on the stove, so eat it when you're done, and I'll send you back when my husband and I come back." ”
Mrs. Li was worried that she couldn't read, so she deliberately drew a picture.
Yutong's nose was sour, he touched his hungry belly, lifted the lid of the large cage drawer, and the fragrance came to his nose.
Braised pork, sweet and sour carp, hot and sour cabbage and clean rice.
It's all home-cooked dishes, but it's clean and full of camaraderie.
While she was doing the laundry, she looked over and saw Madame walking alone into the kitchen, and understood that the dishes were all made by Madame herself.
She was worried that something would go wrong with the splendid scenery outside, so she didn't dare to eat it in the kitchen, so she brought the dishes outside and watched them while eating.
Halfway through the meal, Mrs. Li and Master Li returned, and she hurriedly put down what she was holding and stood up to salute them.
The lady raised her arm and took two quick steps, anxious and angry: "You child, do you seem to eat at the door?" Why don't you eat in the kitchenette? ”
The maid beside Madame trotted over to bring the food from the ground, but was stopped by Yutong, and looked timidly and nervously at the hanging splendor.
"Did they all go back?" Yutong asked.
The lady looked at Jinxiu in confusion and said, "Go back." ”
Yutong breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to go back, and looked at Jinxiu with blank eyes, for fear that Cuishuang would turn back and throw these things into the salt water.
Her frequent glances at Jinxiu aroused her suspicions, and she motioned for the maid to hand the dishes she had brought back into her hands, reassuring her to go back to the kitchenette to eat properly, and repeatedly promising that she would be here to help her take a good look at Jinxiu so that they would not be dirty.
Yu Tong didn't look like a perfunctory person, so he followed the maid into the small kitchen.
