Chapter 3 Bauhinia
Su Muyu was so frightened that she grabbed her clothes and blocked her in front of her.
"Shall I come in?" A crisp voice came in. A good-looking girl poked her head through the crack in the door, her big eyes twinkling as if she could speak.
"Don't be afraid, my name is Zijing, I'm a subordinate, this is the clothes my mother asked me to bring you." She squeezed in sideways and quickly closed the door. He was still carrying a wooden bucket in his hand, "This is hot water, that water is too cold, we girls, we must learn to take care of ourselves." She poured the hot water from the bucket into the vat and went out.
Just when Su Muyu put down his clothes and continued to take a bath, his little head poked in again, and Su Muyu was so nervous that he grabbed the clothes on his chest tightly.
Bauhinia flashed her eyes again and said, "Whew! By the way, hurry up and go to your mother when you're done, she doesn't like to wait for people. After she left this time, she didn't come back, and Su Muyu waited a little longer to be on the safe side, making sure that she wouldn't come in before starting to take a bath.
After adding hot water, the water in the bucket was a lot hotter, although she couldn't shower, but it was still a lot more comfortable, she took a comfortable bath, and changed into the clothes that Bauhinia brought, which was many times stronger than her prison clothes.
When she went out, she saw Bauhinia not far away: "Come, you come with me!" ”
She followed Bauhinia to a room on the second floor and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" It was the voice of the old bustard just now.
Su Muyu followed Bauhinia to the house, and the old bustard lay on the bed and glanced at Su Muyu lazily:
"You must know that you are an official prostitute, and you have to stay in my Baihualou for the rest of your life, and no son will like you if you are injured on your head now, so you will follow Zijing to do some rough work first, and when your head is ready, you will officially pick up customers."
The old bustard glanced at Su Muyu again: "The first night is still there, right?" The price of this yellow flower girl is different. Get out of here! There was laziness in the words.
"Gone!" Bauhinia pulled Su Muyu out of the house and came downstairs, to a room on the far left.
It was dirty, there were no beds, just a few straw mats, and a few boxes of miscellaneous items piled up next to it.
"You live here with me!" Zijing pulled Su Muyu in and pointed to a straw mat next to her, "You just sleep here, this is mine!" She gestured to the straw mat next to her with pink sheets.
Then mysteriously reported a quilt from a straw mat next to her, took out a pink sheet from her own package, helped Su Muyu shop, saw Su Muyu standing stunned, and glanced at the torn prison clothes in her hand:
"Why are you still holding this, throw it away, this is unlucky." Zijing snatched it and threw it on the ground next to the door, and continued to help Su Muyu spread the quilt.
"What's going on at home? There are some old men here who like young ladies like you, you have to be careful of them. Bauhinia said as she helped her make the bed, and finally she asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Su Muyu" Su Muyu came to this unknown dynasty, and no one spoke to her except for the two jailers.
Zijing stopped what she was doing, ripped off the sheets, rolled the quilt together and placed it furthest away from her.
"What's wrong?"
"You're a bad woman, I'm going to keep my distance from you."
Su Muyu was amused by her, how could there be such a simple girl: "Are you afraid of me?" ”
"Isn't it terrible to kill someone who even has his own family?"
"Alright then!" Su Muyu went to make the bed by herself, and at this time, Zijing looked at her bed and then at the sheet in her hand, and threw it to Su Muyu ruthlessly.
Su Muyu looked at Bauhinia, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and shook her head: "Thank you!" ”
Just then, pushing open the door came a woman with a black mole on her face, she was wearing an old cloak and a hat that was so large that it could almost cover her face.
She swept the dirt into the dustpan with a broom.
"You...... You don't hurt her, she's just a cleaner. ”
Su Muyu stared at her for a while, and the woman pressed the cloak down again, and Su Muyu felt tired.
"Don't look at her, Mom told you to boil water and warm wine for the guests." After Bauhinia finished speaking, she pulled the cloak girl and left.
"She can't be a beauty, she deliberately makes herself ugly!" Su Muyu thought to herself, and then smiled bitterly, "This is not a bad way." ”
Su Muyu came to the back kitchen, and Bauhinia was already waiting here to pour water into the pot. Su Muyu wanted to help, but she pushed her away.
"You just go and light the fire, this kind of hard work, which is done by you young ladies."
Su Muyu had no choice but to make a fire, to be honest, she hadn't done it, she just put the wood on the ground into the stove, and she didn't find matches or anything like that when she looked around.
Bauhinia saw it, pulled out all the firewood, then put some straw bark, took out a fire fold from his waist, blew it, and led the straw, and when the fire was hot, he put in the wood and covered the pot.
The two girls were in the same room but had nothing to say, just then Su Muyu's stomach growled, she searched around, and finally found two sweet potatoes in the bag at the door, so she took two.
"What are you doing? That's for the guests to feed the horses! ”
"Look!" Su Muyu waited for the water to boil and the fire in the stove slowly dimmed, she opened the fire and buried the sweet potatoes in it.
Time passed little by little, and the whole kitchen actually wafted a smell that Bauhinia had never smelled.
Su Muyu picked up the ashes and took out the sweet potato, kept one for himself and handed the other one to Bauhinia, Zijing looked at Su Muyu suspiciously.
Su Muyu peeled off the charred black skin on the outside of the sweet potato, revealing the yellow and clear flesh inside, and she was very happy to eat.
Zijing also ate it like her, and after the two of them finished eating, their hands and mouths were full of black ash, and they looked at each other and laughed, "You're not afraid that I will harm you?" ”
"Didn't you eat it too?"
"What if I take the antidote in advance?"
Hearing this, Bauhinia suddenly stopped laughing, put her black hand in her mouth, and was about to spit out the food.
"Silly girl, you have to be sick if you buckle like this, tease you, look how dirty your hands are!"
Zijing stopped moving and got up to stay away from her, she thought that what others said was right, this woman was really bad.
There was silence again, and someone began to fetch water and wash the girls.
Then began to scald the wine, Su Muyu was very busy with Zijing, but when no one came to pick up a pot of wine, Zijing looked at Su Muyu, gritted his teeth and took it out.
Su Muyu saw that Bauhinia hadn't come for a long time, so she wanted to go out to have a look, but at this moment she saw a man pulling Bauhinia and asking her to accompany her to drink, and the girl next to her was no different from the old bustard.
Zijing was so anxious that she cried, Su Muyu felt that she couldn't ignore it, so she picked up a pot of hot water and walked out.
