Chapter 294
The next day, when it was just dawning, Shen Mengxi was woken up by the movement outside the house, she opened her eyes and listened carefully to the movement outside, knowing that it was the servants who were carrying the cage and preparing to load it.
ββShe lifted the bed tent and saw Xiao Ju enter her bedroom with a candlestick.
ββ"Huh? Is Miss awake? The slave is about to wake you up! β
ββ"What time is it?" Shen Mengxi asked.
ββ"Miss Hui's words have been corrected!" Xiao Ju put the candlestick on the round table in the middle of the bedroom, and then walked over and hooked up the bed tent and hung it up, while saying to Shen Mengxi: "Du Ruo is going to fetch hot water, the slave maid will serve the young lady and dress first!" β
ββ"Good!" Shen Mengxi stretched and squinted his eyes and said.
ββXiao Ju smiled, walked to the front of a shelf, picked up the clothes with Shen Mengxi hanging on them, baked them on the charcoal basin for a while, and then quickly took them over to help Shen Mengxi put them on one by one.
ββAt this time, Du Ruo also made hot water and came in, and when he saw that Shen Mengxi was already dressed, he smiled and saluted: "Morning, Miss!" β
ββ"Morning! You're up early today, I'm afraid you'll get up before dawn! β
ββ"Sister Xiaoju got up earlier than the slave maid, or did she wake up the slave maid!" Du Ruo playfully stuck out his tongue and said.
ββShe placed the copper basin in her hand on the basin shelf, then soaked the cloth towel hanging on her arm in the water, gently rubbed it a few times, wrung off the excess water, and then walked to the dressing table to clean the face of Shen Mengxi, who was sitting there. In this way, he wiped Shen Mengxi twice, and his hands and face were clean, so he picked up a small porcelain box on the dressing table and opened it, picked out some of the grease inside with his fingers, and gently smeared it on Shen Mengxi's little face after rubbing it evenly in the palm of his hand.
ββOver there, Xiao Ju brought a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Mengxi, Shen Mengxi took a sip, rinsed it in his mouth, and then spit it in a small spittoon held by Xiao Ju.
ββShen Mengxi is now very accustomed to letting people serve her like this, and she feels that she is getting closer and closer to the standard of an ancient lady. She thought of the plot of "Dream of Red Mansions" that she had read in modern times, when Sister Lin first arrived in Rongguo Mansion, she experienced the pomp and circumstance of those noble ladies and ladies, and even the second generation of noble officials were amazed in their hearts, which shows how particular those wealthy ladies are!
ββXiao Ju helped Shen Mengxi comb her hair, while Du Ruo took out the dirty water and poured it out, and came back to clean up Shen Mengxi's bed. Because he was about to leave, Du Ruo directly put all the bedding and pillows into a camphor wood box.
ββHere, Shen Mengxi had already cleaned up, and outside he heard the mother-in-law who was guarding the yard coming to report, saying: The old lady asked Juniper to invite the eldest lady to go to the front for morning food.
ββ"Let's go! Someone else's grandfather and father, they have been waiting for a long time! β
ββShen Mengxi took Xiaoju and Du Ruo to Shen Zaishi's room in front, and sure enough, the meal had been arranged, and Shen Zaishi and Shen Zhixin were sitting at the dining table waiting for her.
ββ"Grandfather Ann! Father Ann! The creek is late! β
ββ"It's not too late! The meal has just been served, and you've arrived just in time! Sit down and eat! The sooner we ran out, we should start early! β
ββShen Mengxi didn't say much, and after sitting down, the three of them began to eat quietly. Today's morning food was relatively simple, and it didn't take long for the three of them to run out. At this time, Uncle Yuan came in and replied, "Old lady! The people from the car dealer and the people from the Xinglong Dart Bureau have already arrived. β
