Chapter 15: Laundry

"Old lady, the old slave has brought, have you rested?" Mama Cui knocked on the carved wooden door, her face a little respectful.

There was silence in the room for a while, and then I heard the old lady reply in a majestic voice, "Come in." ”

Only then did Mama Cui push open the door and walk in front, Lin Wanwan also lifted her skirt and crossed the threshold when she saw this, and followed steadily.

After entering the house, she took a look, and the decoration in her eyes was magnificent, and it carried the delicate luxury of a woman's home.

As she approached, she smelled a faint scent, and she took a deep breath, her eyes shining.

Good fellow, this bed is actually made of a whole piece of sandalwood, and it still exudes a calming fragrance.

"The concubine has seen the old lady." She saluted, and couldn't help but take a closer look, the objects in the room were probably the most luxurious in the entire palace.

The old lady lying on it was wearing a undershirt, her eyes fell sharply on Lin Wanwan's body, looking at her here and there, she didn't say a word of shock, but her eyes were revealed.

It's like a village girl who has never seen the world.

She disliked it in her heart, if it weren't for the princess who was really domineering and didn't agree with her, how could she turn to Yun Ye's concubine.

"Go, make a cup of tea for the old body."

When Lin Wanwan heard the request, she hurriedly smiled sweetly and nodded, "Old lady, wait a minute." ”

With that, he turned around, rolled up his sleeves, and picked up the teapot.

Just poured a cup of hot tea, but when I put the teapot, I forgot that she was as strong as today, and an oversight, the teapot collided on the table, clicked, and shattered.

At the same time, it was her sweet smile and well-behaved little expression.

The old lady was so uncomfortable that she wanted to cough, but when she saw this scene, her cloudy eyes widened in shock, and her finger trembled at the teapot, and her face was hideous.

"You... You..."

It's her favorite teapot, and it's still the most expensive!

This is the first time I took it out and put it on the table, and it was broken!

"Come on, drag it down......" She was so angry that she couldn't speak, her round eyes burning with anger, and she suddenly sat up.

Lin Wanwan didn't expect to pour a tea and pour herself trouble, and there would be no one after fifty boards, she instantly sent it pitifully with hot tea, and blocked the old lady's mouth with warm tea with lightning speed.

The old lady drank her tea and was even more shocked.

"The old lady is angry, broken and safe, and the teapot proves that the old lady's good luck is coming. Amitabha, Amitabha! Lin Wanwan's small mouth was wide open, and her small eyes were even more sincere, and at the end, she carefully wiped the water stains on the old lady's mouth with a clean handkerchief.

The anger in the old lady's chest couldn't be lifted up or down, and she didn't know how to react.

"You hairy girl!" She scolded, but she didn't pursue it anymore, and when she turned her head, she commanded again with full energy.

"Forget it, you go and close the window, the old body feels a little cold."

Lin Wanwan saw an opportunity to atone for her sins, and hurriedly responded with a smile, "Okay, the concubine will go." ”

With that, he turned his head and walked to the window, busy with his words.

Seeing that her attitude was not bad, the old lady was relieved and snorted coldly, "There are no rules." ”

Mama Cui found that the old lady's spirit was much better, and she was a little angry, her eyes flashed, "The old slave looks at her, but she is a sweet-mouthed girl, and she is also sincere to the old lady." In this compound, having this is already precious. ”

The old lady recalled that Lin Wanwan copied the scriptures for her in the ancestral hall all night, and was silent for a moment, and then remembered Yun Ye's intentions for her, and withdrew her eyes with disdain.

"It's just an object of the master."

Mama Cui didn't reply.

At this moment, as soon as Lin Wanwan's fingers pinched the wooden window, she accidentally broke a corner, her right eyelid jumped, and she quickly looked back.

When she found that the old lady and Grandma Cui didn't notice this, they quickly covered it up, and then pretended to have just closed the window.

"Oh, it's really cold today, and it's going to come in through the cracks." As she spoke, she picked up the charcoal and threw a few pieces into the brazier.

As long as the charcoal fire is burning, there is no fear that the window will leak too quickly.

She deliberately glanced at the old lady, and when she saw that her expression had eased, she walked closer in shock.

"Old lady, the window has been closed, what else do you have to order?"

The old lady lifted her eyelids and looked at her, her expression was serious, she didn't know what she was thinking, and only after a while did she say, "Go and wash all the underwear of the old body, be careful, don't use hot water, the paint of the clothes is precious, and it can't withstand hot water bubbles." ”

After that, Mama Cui had already brought a basin, which was full of purple underwear, and after a cursory look, it was estimated that there were seven or eight pieces.

"Go ahead."

Lin Wanwan didn't dare to refuse, and nodded and left after taking the wooden basin, moving very quickly.

Out of the old lady's courtyard, came to the backyard of the palace.

This is where the maids and servants stay, and the filth is piled up here, and the stench is stinking.

Lin Wanwan's appearance has attracted the attention of many people, and some people have already recognized Lin Wanwan's identity, they looked curiously, but no one dared to come forward to talk.

Of course, no one paid any attention to her.

"Hey, come here." Lin Wanwan smiled enthusiastically and beckoned to a girl who looked to be five or six years old.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked coldly, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

It's no wonder that the girl has a cold attitude, at this time, the status of the concubine is actually no different from that of the subordinate, but if the master likes it, the food and clothing are better.

Lin Wanwan took out a few copper plates from her arms, stuffed them into the little girl's hands, and said slowly, "You take me to the place where you wear clothes, these copper coins are yours." ”

The little girl is a maid from the family, this is the first time she has taken the money, her brain is hot, and she leads the way, "You come with me." ”

Lin Wanwan followed with a smile, and when she walked to the side of the pool, her eyes were stunned.

Good guys, the whole pool is frozen, what about doing laundry.

As if seeing her thoughts, the little girl rolled her eyes, "What a fuss, the pool is frozen, wouldn't it be nice to smash it open and wash the clothes?" ”

Saying that, he didn't pay attention to Lin Wanwan, turned his head and ran away.

After a while, Lin Wanwan wanted to cry without tears, looking at her frozen red hands, rubbing her clothes resignedly, and suddenly missed the modern washing machine a little.

After washing her clothes, her hands were numb from the cold, and she picked up the basin and went out.

When I passed by the people's room, I heard a sad sigh inside.

"The Bai family has deducted most of the money used by the subordinates to eat and drink, we can't afford to buy charcoal this winter, how can we live."

"There's no way, whoever makes us just subordinates, the master chooses, we will bear it."

“……”

Lin Wanwan turned her head to take a look, and a group of thinly dressed subordinates were sitting inside, with a porridge full of clear soup in front of them, and the little girl who had guided her before was inside

I saw that the little girl's face was red, and she took out a copper plate from her arms in great confusion, "I, I have money, use mine." ”

Lin Wanwan didn't continue to look at the next thing, and hurried back to the old lady's house, setting up a wooden stick next to the charcoal fire, and drying Huan's clean underwear.

The old lady was perched on the bed, already asleep.

Mama Cui waited beside her, staring at her the whole time.

Lin Wanwan was like a man's back, and after drying his head, he waited for Mama Cui, and only turned around and left after getting permission.

When she went out, the sky was fluttering with goose feathers and snow, and her eyes were full of silver white, and she exhaled a hot breath.

It was her first winter here after she died.

It turns out that the winter here is so beautiful.

She walked aside, rubbed her palms and stuffed them into her pockets to warm up, her mind full of the clear soup and water in front of the people in the backyard, and the thin winter clothes.

It's pitiful, if no one cares, a lot of people will definitely die.

What's worse is that it is not worth killing people at this time, if a few people die and are buried in a hurry, who cares?

Her little face was wrinkled, and the two villains in her heart were fighting.

After struggling for a moment, after making a decision, she turned her head and walked towards Yun Ye's study with a serious and solemn face.
