Chapter 80: Investigation
"Lier"
When Li'er stepped into the door, she heard Sikong Yu's voice shouting from inside the house, and hurriedly replied, "Eh~ It's coming"
When Li'er pushed open the bedroom door, the heavy curtain on the bed frame had not yet been lifted, and the bedroom was full of the smell of lily incense, Li'er pushed open the window, and the light outside the house spilled into the room with the opening of the wooden window, and the various birds in the row of birdcages hanging under the porch outside the window were crying happily, and the chirping also increased when the window was opened.
Hearing the bird's call, there was the sound of someone turning over from the bed, "It's so noisy, why is the goldfinch calling so loud today", the owner of the voice asked in a slightly nasal voice that had not yet woken up.
"I added water to them when I came back just now, so I was happy to wash them."
As she spoke, Li'er stretched out her hand to pull open the curtain on the bed, and unsurprisingly saw her young lady holding the quilt and talking to herself with her eyes closed, smiling and hanging the curtains on both sides, and tying them with silk ribbons.
Outside the door, there were already maids waiting with various copper basins, wooden barrels, porcelain bowls, jade cups, and silk scarves, and when they saw Li'er open the curtain, they walked into the bedroom one after another, and stood on one side and said in unison, "Slaves and maids, please give Miss early."
Sikong Yu on the bed still closed his eyes and did not reply, Li'er made a color to the maid holding the copper kettle on the side, the maid knowingly poured the hot water in the copper kettle in her hand into the copper basin on the side, Li'er came over and tested the water temperature with her fingertips, "enough", signaling to stop pouring water.
The maid with a stack of silk scarves on the side hurriedly walked over, bowed her head slightly, and handed the tray with both hands.
Li'er picked up a silk scarf, dipped it in water and twisted it twice, then turned around and raised one of Sikong Yu's arms to wipe it gently.
"What I said yesterday, but I went to ask?" , Sikong Yu asked with his eyes closed.
"I'll be there early in the morning", Li'er glanced back, and a row of maids behind her took a few steps back and stood still by the wall by the door.
"Yang Gu is a smart person, and he knows that there is no need to hide from Miss, but I heard that this Huamian girl was brought back by the Ninth Young Master to arrange, and Aunt Juan from the maid's courtyard couldn't find a suitable job so she was arranged to work in the maid's canteen."
As she spoke, she threw the silk towel in her hand into the wooden bucket, picked up a new one, continued to dip it in water, twisted it and gently put it on Sikong Yu's face and put it on a hot compress.
"As for the work of the chef, it was arranged by Liu Fengyuan in the maid's canteen, but she didn't know what she did to offend the red-sleeved girl in the fourth lady's room, and was sued by the red-sleeved girl in front of Steward Xu."
"Although the red sleeves have a good appearance, their personality is too good and strong, not good", feeling the hot silk towel on his face being taken away, Sikong Yu opened his eyes.
"But isn't it, this red-sleeved girl took Steward Xu to the maid's dining hall to find trouble, and she wanted to take the flower girl for violating the teachings", Li'er said, stretched out her hand to help Sikong Yu sit up, brought a jade cup containing chrysanthemum water to Sikong Yu to rinse her mouth, and after Sikong Yu spit the mouthwash into the porcelain bowl in his hand, handed it back to the maid on the side.
"Go down."
"Yes, Sister Li'er"
The maids left only the copper basin and silk scarf, and the rest were packed up and taken away, and when they went out of the room, Li'er wiped her hands dry, took out a white jade flat box from the wooden cabinet next to the bed, opened it and dipped the pearl powder in the box with her fingertips and gently applied it to Sikong Yu's face.
"I can know a little bit about the mood of the red-sleeved girl, she saw that the fourth lady suddenly treated the girl with flowers, and she couldn't be angry."
Sikong Yu closed his eyes and let Li'er smear on his face, and when he heard this, he opened his mouth, "This is where Red Sleeves is not as good as you"
"But Red Sleeves has been with the fourth sister for all these years, and the fourth sister will make Red Sleeves faceless for so many people for a chef, what ability does she have as a soldier to look at the chef?"
