Chapter 161: Responsible to the end
Bowing slightly, Hotaru Yue said in order to make him feel at ease.
"Thank you, ma'am, ...... The subordinates retired. ”
Xu Shuo, who was hiding something in his heart, turned around and tapped his toes lightly, jumped on the roof, and disappeared into the night.
Watching him leave, Hotaru silently looked at the steward who was still panting aside, pursed her lips and said, "Get up." ”
The steward's hurriedly stood up, walked in front of her flatteringly, where was the arrogant appearance at the beginning, nodded and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Yue." ”
Thinking that he would still need to rely on the steward to preside over the affairs of the Lonely Garden for him in the future, Hotaru Yue's face eased, and she took the initiative to find a good step for him and said: "I know that you are also tired, so I thought about it and went to rest quickly, but think about it, you are perfunctory now, don't you have to make up for this effort when you turn back?" ”
Chunlan saw Hotaru Yue's actions and looked at her with some emotion.
Her wife is really good!
Even if the people below did something wrong, they didn't kill them with a stick, but gave them a second chance, where can I find such a good lady!
"Yes, yes, yes!" The steward's heart was weak, and he climbed down the steps, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "The villain understands, not next time." ”
Seeing that he had a good attitude, Hotaru Yue didn't continue to say anything to find trouble, but said: "Do things well, your benefits will be indispensable in the future, if you really work hard for the child, I am not the kind of person who deducts and searches, and I will definitely give you an extra overtime pay." ”
"Yes, the villain understands."
The steward heard it in a fog, but at this moment, knowing the identity of the firefly moon, where did he dare to slack off, and he was busy doing it.
And when those children heard that Firefly Moon was a noble lady of the Houfu, they didn't put on a show when they talked to themselves, and they had a lot more good feelings.
Looking at the children gently, Hotaru Yue coaxed: "Baby, will you let Sister Yue and Sister Chunlan take a bath for you?" ”
"We don't want to ......"
The children shook their heads at the thought of the stinging sensation of the brush on their skin.
Hotaru Yue was not annoyed at all, she didn't even get angry, she brought a towel, and saw that the steward's movements had changed from the previous procrastination, and hot water had been prepared, so she said: "Don't be afraid, Sister Yue will be gentle, and she will definitely not hurt you." ”
Some of the younger children finally shook their heads under the gentle attack of Hotaru Moon.
After taking the lead in hugging a few younger children, Hotaru probed the temperature of the water with her hands to make sure that it would not burn the delicate skin of the children, then took off her clothes for them, scooped hot water with a scoop of water, and washed the children up.
If this had been placed in the past, Chunlan would never have imagined that her wife could be so approachable!
She hurriedly stepped forward to take the water scoop from Firefly Yue's hand, and said, "Madam, let's let the slave come, how can you do such heavy rough work?" ”
Avoiding Chunlan's hand, Hotaru Yue didn't care and said, "It's okay, you go to the carriage and bring the soap I brought." ”
Seeing that Firefly Yue was resolute, Chunlan could only turn around and get the soap step by step.
Firefly's gentle movements finally made the children let down their guard, and the good smell of the soap made the children laugh and rush to bathe.
The older children are sensible and shy, refusing to let them touch them, and they are quickly cleaned themselves.
About two hours later, all the children in the lonely garden bathed and changed their clothes again, and the garden was finally not dirty at a glance, and the children all wore brand new clothes, and their little faces were carved with pink and jade, and the hearts of the fireflies and moons were soft.
"It's finally done!"
Seeing that the steward was finally done, several people all fell to the ground gasping for breath.
They haven't worked for so long, and it's so tiring to do so many things at once now!
was lying on the ground regardless of the dirt, looking at the moon in a daze, but in the next second, he saw the fire moon appear in his sight and leaned over to look at him.
The steward's heart was frightened, and he said respectfully: "Mrs. Yue, do you have any other orders?" ”
The rest of the people also hurriedly got up, bowing their heads and not daring to look at her.
Waving his hand, Hotaru said, "No, you guys have worked hard tonight, this is overtime pay for you." ”
casually threw the purse into the steward's arms, and the steward hurriedly caught it, couldn't wait to take a look, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Thank you, Mrs. Yue." ”
"This is what you deserve, and after that, as long as you do your best, the benefits are indispensable, but if tonight's incident is discovered by me again, you should understand the end."
Hotaru scolded coldly, and the steward nodded, where would he dare to have those bad thoughts.
After arranging the children properly, Yingyue took Chunlan back to Linglong Pavilion, and at this time, the sky was already slightly bright.
Gently beating her shoulder, Yingyue dragged her tired body to the house, to make up for a good night's sleep, Chunlan wanted to remind her to wash, but seeing that she was so tired that she couldn't open her eyelids, she silently closed her mouth, tucked the quilt for her, held the lantern and guarded the outside of the room, her small body shrunk on the bench in the corridor, and fell asleep.
I slept for an hour, and before I could get out of my sleep, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Knock Knock ......"
Covering her ears with the quilt, Hotaru turned over irritably.
But even so, there was a constant knock on the door outside, and Hotaru angrily lifted the quilt and strode out: "Who? ”
The menacing appearance startled Mrs. Ning outside.
Mrs. Ning patted her chest lightly and slowed down.
Seeing that it was her, Yingyue rubbed her hair, and asked with hazy eyes, "Mrs. Ning, why are you?" ”
"Scared me, I just thought you were going to hit me, so fierce!"
Mrs. Ning came to her senses, couldn't help but tease, and then got to the point: "You forgot, didn't you say yesterday that you would go to Ganlu Temple?" ”
After a lot of drowsy running, Hotaru Yue's little head finally turned and snorted softly: "Look at my brain, I have forgotten about this matter." ”
After taking a closer look, Mrs. Ning realized the cyan color under her eyes, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" Did you go to be a thief last night? The dark circles are so heavy! ”
Rubbing her eyelids, Hotaru yawned lazily and walked back inside.
"Don't mention it, I only came back after I went to the Lonely Garden last night, and I came back after helping the children bathe, and my hands were tired and sore, but you came after sleeping for a while." Waving his hand, Hotaru propped up her chin, visibly sleepy.
A hint of apology appeared on Mrs. Ning's face: "I said, then you are so tired today, just rest in the house, and I will go to Ganlu Temple." ”
"It's okay, I'll just wash my face, didn't I say that I would be responsible for it to the end?"
