Old Madam Xu became a little interested and asked, "Oh? What trick did Yuan'er come up with? ”

Xu Yuan pondered how to describe it in his mind, and said: "Snow is water when it meets water, I think, it can't be swept anyway, it's better to splash a bucket of water on it, and then clean it up after melting the snow, which may come faster than clearing the snow." ”

Mrs. Shen at the bottom said: "The old slave interjected...... Miss Four's idea is really good, it's just ...... It's freezing on this day, and I'm afraid that the water will already freeze before it has time to sweep away. ”

Old Madam Xu nodded and looked at Xu Yuan: "That's the truth, what do you say, Yuan'er?" ”

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "I haven't said it all, don't worry, old lady." Water naturally freezes, but if salt is added, it's different. When salt is mixed with it, the water does not freeze so easily. It's okay to sprinkle salt directly on the snow, but it's not as fast as pouring salt water. ”

When he heard the word "salt", Du Jingqing's pupils shrank, and his expression stiffened uncontrollably for a moment.

Shen Pozi was shocked when she heard this, and said, "Good idea! Oh, I only knew that salt could keep water from freezing in winter, but I didn't know that this salt could also turn snow, so I didn't think about it! Miss Four is really witty! ”

I just used the knowledge of junior high school chemistry, so Xu Yuan didn't take this mother-in-law's flattery seriously. What she noticed was the sudden change in Fang Cai Duqing's face, which was so subtle that she almost thought that she was dazzled.

Mrs. Xu has always looked at Xu Yuan everywhere, but at this moment, seeing that she was right, she praised her: "Yuan'er is smart, just do it." Mrs. Shen, get up, just give the order, if you let the girls hurt a little more, I will ask you. ”

"In addition, Miss Du will also live here for a while, and you will also take care of the bedroom in the west, and the degree of food and clothing will be better than that of Miss Four, you know?"

Mrs. Shen hurriedly touched the ground with her head and kowtowed several times, then stood up and said, "Hey! Thank you, old lady, forgiveness! The old slave can be saved! After that, I must raise my spirit and serve the two girls well, and don't let this kind of thing happen again. ”

After getting the guarantee, Old Madam Xu waved her hand and said, "Stand down, prepare now." ”

After Mrs. Shen retreated, Mrs. Xu said, "Qinqing, it's good to rest, don't think about other things." Since I make the decision to let you live in Xufu, even if you marry in the future, I can't allow your mother-in-law to interfere. ”

Du Jingqing smiled and said, "Okay, old lady." Qinqing is still waiting for you to choose a good gentleman for me. ”

Mrs. Xu also smiled, stroked Du Jingqing's hand to show comfort, and did not stay any longer, and after instructing Du Jingqing and Xu Yuan a few words, she left.

Only Xu Yuan, Du Jingqing, and two maids were left in the house.

Xu Yuan sat on the stool and moved the stool closer to Du Jingqing.

Du Jingqing looks very well-behaved, if it weren't for the size of a girl, she would look a little smaller than Xu Yuan.

Although it has only been a few hours since I realized it, Xu Yuan felt that Tongdu Qingqing was a lot closer to each other, and the gentle and sensible girl was always liked, regardless of whether she was a man or a woman.

Du Jingqing watched Xu Yuan move to her like a small animal, tilted his head to look at her, looked gentle, and said with a smile: "Sister Yuan, what are you going to do?" ”

Xu Yuan only said: "I don't do anything, I just want to say that Sister Qinqing is really good-looking." ”

Du Jingqing thought she was going to say something, but when she heard this, she laughed out loud and said easily: "How can I be considered good-looking, but I am just a medium appearance." It's Sister Yuan, you, who are naturally good-looking. ”

Xu Yuan scratched her head and said, "I'm just a little girl, how can I be unattractive." ”

After that, she said: "Tonight, Sister Qinqing will rest in my house, Mrs. Shen is still cleaning up when she thinks about it, and she can't clean it up at this moment." My sister is injured and needs to rest, so don't move. ”

In this courtyard, only Xu Yuan's bedroom and the rooms of the people under him can live in it, and the rest of the rooms are not inhabited, so they have not been cleaned up. At that time, it was not easy to send Du Jingqing to the maids' house, so Xu Yuan asked Du Jingqing to be carried to his bedroom.

Du Jingqing hurriedly excused himself and said: "How can this make it, my left and right injuries are only my hands, and my legs are nothing-"

Xu Yuan interrupted her: "Don't be so polite, Sister Qinqing is because of my injury." And it's just one night, and I'll have to leave when my sister's room is cleaned up tomorrow. ”

Xu Yuan covered her mouth and yawned, and said goodbye: "I'm also sleepy, go to rest, sister, let's rest too." See you tomorrow. ”

After that, she didn't give Du Jingqing a chance to refuse again, got up and took Shuqing's hand and left.

In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the room, Du Jingqing and Shuang'er. Although the whole house is not big, it has everything it should have, and it has everything you need. Even Xu Yuan, the middle coat party, ordered someone to prepare two sets and put them on the table.

Du Jingqing looked at the closed door, the smile on his face disappeared, and sighed: "Sometimes, it's really not worth it...... Am I sensible or stupid? ”

Shuang'er's mood has always fluctuated because of Du Jingqing, and she said in a low voice: "Miss, you are thinking crankily again." ”

Du Jingjing lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, I am not only stupid, but also bad." ”

Shuang'er didn't know how to answer her, so she only shouted in a low voice: "Miss-"

Du Jingqing was silent for a long time, and he couldn't struggle out of his thoughts, and said, "Wait for me to wash up, I'm tired." ”

Shuang'er bowed her head and said, "Yes." ”

————

Xu Yuan is indeed tired. She was sick, so she didn't have much energy, and when she came back, she felt tired, fell again, and sat for a long time, and at this moment she just wanted to go to bed early, so she went straight to the side hospital.

Here, Mrs. Shen saw Xu Yuan coming, and was busy saluting, Xu Yuan waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about so much nothingness, has the bed been cleaned up?" ”

Mrs. Shen replied stunned: "I cleaned it up, but I only cleaned up the bed." ”

Xu Yuan glanced at the bed - the mattress was spread with pillows, and the curtains were also hung, she was satisfied with "um", and fell to the bed in a daze.

Xu Yuan closed his eyes and said: "I'm going to rest, all the people who should retreat retreat, Shuqing you and Xiaolan will inform you, and say that I'm fine." Let her come back to me tomorrow morning. ”

As soon as Shuqing wanted to say something more, he was stopped by Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen stretched out her index finger and made a silent gesture on her lips, and was about to pull Shuqing out, while waving her hand back and beckoning the other maids who were working in the house to come out.

Shuqing saw that Xu Yuan had no sound, her breathing was steady and slightly heavy, and she was already asleep.
