Chapter 10 Collecting Firewood

Yue'er and the two girls laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up when they heard this, Yue'er held a tea tray in one hand, and screwed her with her free hand in the other, so angry that she stomped her feet and said: "You girl called arsenic poisoned her brain, and even her mouth was poisoned, so she used this to anger me." ”

Shuang'er hurriedly dodged and begged for mercy, pointed to the slope and said, "Your son-in-law has dismounted, he looks very thirsty, go make tea." ”

Yue'er looked down and saw that the four of them had dismounted, talking to the young ladies who had passed by, and knew that it was not the time to frolic, so she glanced at her with her eyes, and carefully lifted the hem of her skirt down the slope.

The girl in the red armor came over and said to Shuang'er: "I used to see you and I didn't like to deal with people, I didn't expect you to be so interesting, I am Luoyu who is serving in the courtyard of the eldest young master, let's talk more in the future." ”

Shuang'er nodded, called Sister Luoyu, and reported her name. Luoyu introduced another girl in a blue bijia named Luorui, Shuang'er called her sister, but Luorui was not very enthusiastic, nodded perfunctorily, and dragged Luoyu away.

Shuang'er saw that she was the only one collecting firewood, and she was afraid that she would have to run back and forth, so she picked up a large bundle, made it one person high, and tied it with rattan and dragged it down the slope. If you want to say that wearing ancient costumes is fresh, it is that the work is too ill-fitting, the skirt is too big, and it is easy to step on it and fall into a if you bend your knees slightly, and the sleeves are too wide to roll up and tie tightly, and you are either hung up or poked into your armpits by a branch. Shuang'er dragged it alive, and had to take care of his clothes not being scratched, and one person was eager to give birth to ten hands. I felt that it was wrong halfway through, and when I looked down, the kite flying on the lawn, the boiling water by the river, and the people sitting and chatting all put down their work in their hands to look at her, and even the four horses that were leisurely grazing looked up at her. Luo Yu laughed even more, causing others to point at her and laugh.

Shuang'er thought to herself that she was afraid that she was embarrassed and made a fool of herself, and blamed the girls for not being righteous, and she didn't come to help when she was tired like this.

Finally dragged the tall firewood to the river, and then a girl came over to help, Chun'er helped her untie the rattan, and said with a smile: "Are you going to make a banquet, or do you want to live with firewood, you have picked up half of the firewood in the mountain, right?" ”

Frost was tired and half dead, sticking out her tongue and fanning the wind with her hands, she had never seen anyone boiling water with firewood, and thought it would be better. She couldn't drag the big branches on it with her bare hands, so she picked up some small branches, afraid that they would not be burned.

Yue'er came over and asked for some firewood, and also joked to her: "It's just right, we don't have to pick up firewood for your blessing." Shuang'er later learned why she was the only one to pick it up, and the maids in the other courtyards were responsible for boiling water to collect firewood, and only they had a lot of idlers in the yard, so Mother Hua specially arranged for someone to pick it up.

The third lady said to Cui'er beside her: "Go and call the girl who picked up firewood today and reward her with a cup of tea." ”

When Shuang'er arrived in front of the third lady, she saw the four young ladies sitting on the grass covered with blankets, with a low table in the middle, and fruit snacks and tea trays on the table. The third lady asked, "Which room are you a girl in, why haven't you seen it before?" ”

Shuang'er had close contact with the living Miss Ancient Boudoir for the first time, and felt that it was novel and a little incredible, and she didn't know what to do, so she stood there and replied carefully: "Third Miss Hui, I am a third-class maid in Fuyuan Courtyard, and I usually do some chores, so Third Miss has never seen me." ”

The third lady said strangely: "Since you are a third-class maid, why do you still do chores?" "In other courtyards, third-class girls can enter the room to serve, which is different from ordinary rough maids.
