Chapter 159: Dirty Water
Yingyue didn't notice that at the pear blossom window on the second floor, Ning Shuyao was lying on the windowsill looking at the carriage in the distance, her eyes were full of complexity.
If only I could do something......
On the carriage, Yingyue heard Chunlan's words, and subconsciously thought that it was the problem of this group of children, so she said: "It's okay, with your wife here, Sun Monkey has to look at his ability to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, but Sun Monkey was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years." ”
patted Chunlan's hand soothingly, Chunlan was very relieved when she saw her, but she was embarrassed to say it, she just nodded.
Lifting the curtain, Hotaru looked at the gradually receding scenery outside, and couldn't help but look a little sad.
Seeing this, Chunlan couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" But because Mrs. Ning mentioned the matter between you and Hou Ye, you are not happy? ”
How smart she is, naturally she won't understand.
Hotaru shook her head lightly and said, "No, I don't attach myself to him, and I don't want him to be infamy, and besides, I am innocent with him, I just ...... Just homesick. ”
She lowered her head and sighed wistfully.
She did have a younger sister, but only in modern times.
In fact, in modern times, she has been busy studying, working, and trying to be someone else's child, so there is very little communication between her and her sister.
Not to mention her sister, since joining the company's R&D team, she has been spending less and less time with her parents.
It's been a long time since I've seen my family, and I don't know if they're doing well.
In modern times, is he dead, or has he swapped identities with the original owner of this body?
These questions pop up from time to time, and she cares a lot, but there is no answer.
Thinking of this, Hotaru sighed.
Finally, the carriage arrived at the Garden of Solitude.
As soon as they got out of the car, the children were very scared.
The steward ran over, looked at Yingyue and Chunlan, and was a little embarrassed: "Two girls, these little ghosts refuse to cooperate with the bath." I think it's okay, they're dirty anyway. ”
Hotaru glanced at the steward lightly and sneered, "Are you teaching me to do things?" ”
My heart was secretly cool, it turned out that the moment this sentence was said was so toneful.
The steward was shocked by the momentum of the fire flyer, especially when he saw that the clothes on the back moon were much more gorgeous than those of Chunlan, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, so he whispered: "The villain doesn't dare." ”
"Take me to see it."
Hotaru didn't look at him, but walked briskly into the garden.
The steward led the way, and several people arrived at the bathhouse.
There was no imaginary warmth, but a hint of coldness, the pear blossom window was wide open, the cold wind blew in, and the water in the dirt-blackened bathtub rippled.
Several people were forcing the children to the tub, and the small tub was crowded with four or five children.
"Don't, don't, let's not take a shower!"
The children were so frightened that they cried and struggled to get out, but they were caught back, and the old wounds on their own were now added to the new wounds, and the blood marks from their fingernails made Hotazuki's face instantly blacken.
Not only that, but the so-called bathing is nothing more than putting them in the water and taking a brush for bathing the horses to brush the bodies of these children.
The rough brush scraped against the children's flesh, and it was immediately red and swollen.
Rao is not considered a cold winter, but at night, these children are more cold than the other.
It is said that it is to bathe the children, but in fact, the treatment is not as good as that of livestock.
"What's going on?"
When they got closer, not only was the tub dirty and uncleaned, but the water inside had long since turned black and smelled foul, but they continued to use it.
The distance was close, and Hotaru didn't feel a trace of heat in the tub at all.
"Madame!"
Chunlan couldn't help but exclaim when she saw her reaching out for the dirty water in the tub.
Sure enough, the water in the bath bucket was black and cold, even she would never go in to wash it, Hotaru Yue was angry on the spot, and turned her head to glare at the steward: "This is how you are doing these flowers for the future of the motherland?!" ”
Seeing that Hotaru was angry, the steward couldn't help but restrain a little, and there was a flattering smile on the corner of his mouth.
He didn't know the identity of Hotaru Yue, he originally thought that this woman was the daughter of a big family in Beijing, but it was just a whim, after all, the daughter of a rich family sometimes has a so-called kindness that often has a beginning without a follow-up.
He had done something similar before, but after working hard for a month, the daughter of the family got tired of pretending to be a bodhisattva and completely left them behind, so they couldn't even settle the money.
That's why he dealt with it this time.
Who would have thought that the Lord would come and inspect it himself?
"Dare to ask who the girl is......"
The steward rubbed his palms, cautiously tentative, this face was annoying.
Seeing this, Yingyue's eyes flickered, and she just thought that she was going to use this person to build momentum for Ning Shuyao, so she simply scolded angrily: "I do things for Miss Ning Shuyao Ning of the Taishi Mansion, you are so yang and yin, do you want people from the Taishi Mansion to come to you Xingshi to ask for guilt?" Don't you know why this lonely garden was seized by the imperial court before? With so many pairs of eyes staring at it, how dare you do this to these children? ”
The steward was shocked, knowing that he had hit a hard stubble, and he didn't dare to choke again: "The villain knows his mistake, so he immediately orders them to go down and let them prepare hot water again." ”
He turned around, and then heard Hotaru Yue's voice again: "Remember, you must boil the water once, boil it thoroughly, and then bring it over, otherwise the children won't be able to wash it when you pour it into the bucket." ”
The housekeeper was still a little unconvinced and muttered: "Squeamish!" ”
Glancing at him coldly, Firefly Yue's ears were sensitive and coercive: "Huh? ”
"I mean, let people do it right away!"
Not daring to put on a perfunctory appearance again, the steward beckoned, and motioned to the people standing outside under his hands: "Come with me to boil water!" ”
"Who is this? Why be so obedient? ”
A man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks walked up to the butler and said unhappily.
When the steward heard this, he was also very uncomfortable in his heart, you must know that he has long been accustomed to calling others, and it is the first time he has seen others calling himself!
But thinking about who sent the firefly moon, he still swallowed his anger and said, "Don't worry about it, go and do things!" ”
Looking at the distant figure of the steward, Hotaru Yue drove all the others out, leaving only Chunlan to accompany her, she signaled, Chunlan brought hot tea and bedding, and the two hurriedly fished the children out of the dirty bathtub, and said distressedly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Sister Yue is here." ”
The person in charge and the few people he brought were only recruited by her today, and she thought that she would treat the children well, but she didn't expect to see this scene!
