Chapter 7: The Situation of the Zhao Family
The cold well water made her tremble.
But fortunately, it was summer, and she could stand in the tub and scoop water into her body little by little.
She was a new maid with a very low status, and no one prepared bath beans for her.
Water alone can't wash the mud off her body.
But fortunately, she has space, the toiletries in the camper are all newly bought, and Liu Shayue used her own shower gel shampoo to take a big bath comfortably.
Bi Tao, who was waiting outside, had already begun to urge impatiently, so she wiped herself dry indiscriminately, and after finding a clean dress from the baggage and putting it back on, she pushed the door out.
Outside, it was completely dark, and only the lanterns hanging from the eaves emitted a flickering light.
Bi Tao saw her walk out and rolled her eyes angrily.
"I'm going to die, do you still think you're some kind of daughter? It takes so long to take a shower?! ”
After Liu Shayue took a bath, she felt light and fluttering, and her mood improved.
Regarding Bi Tao's complaints, she went in one ear and out the other, perfunctory.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so dirty, I still have lice in my hair, I'm going to wash it a little slowly, I won't be next time."
Bi Tao, who was about to step forward, heard her say that she had lice on her head, so she immediately stopped and turned her head away with disgust.
"Stinky beggar, it's really dirty, keep up, if you dare to delay me to serve tea to the second young master, I won't spare you!"
In this way, Bi Tao did not smell the shower gel on her body, and the two maintained a long social distance.
Because the bath has been delayed for too long, Bi Tao is listening to the words at the gate of Zhuxuan's courtyard.
After getting the news that the second young master was already studying in the study, she had to take Liu Shayue to the new little maid's residence.
Liu Shayue was led to a chase shop, which was full of girls like her who had just arrived and had good faces.
After Bi Tao left a sentence of "stay here and don't run around", she quickly turned around and left.
Liu Shayue stood at the door with her baggage, only a kerosene lamp was lit in the room, and in the faint light, these little girls looked at her new 'companion' with timid eyes.
Liu Shayue smiled at them in a friendly manner.
"Where do I stay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a girl stood out from the shadows, a girl who looked taller than everyone else, she frowned, pointed to the corner of the kang and said.
"You live there."
Liu Shayue nodded and said, "Thank you." ”
Raise your legs and go that way, and then under the gaze of everyone, take off your shoes and go to the kang in one go.
When she lay on the kang, she let out a long sigh of relaxation.
"Whew~ Finally lay down."
There was silence in the room, and everyone watched in amazement as she did this.
Liu Shayue raised a hand with difficulty, waved it at the other girls, and explained.
"I'm really sorry, my family is too poor to eat all the time, and I have been on the road for a long time before being sent here, so I'm too tired~"
Hearing her explanation, the girls in the room all breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I see, then you can lie down first, and if you want to drink water, you can call me."
The tall girl who was just pointing out the bed to her said kindly.
They were all girls from poor families, who had just been sent to an unfamiliar environment, and had not yet encountered an incident that would allow them to compete with each other.
So even if Liu Shayue's behavior is a little out of line, they can understand it.
Liu Shayue had just drunk milk in the bath, and she waved her hand to thank the girl for her kindness.
Her body is so dilapidated, she has been tossing for so long today, and she doesn't even want to turn over.
She lay straight on the hard kang like this, didn't even take off her clothes, and slept in a daze.
It wasn't until she felt that someone was patting her that Liu Shayue opened her eyes with difficulty.
The tall girl had brought her face close to her, and when she saw that she was awake, she swooped and stood up straight.
Said at a loss.
"It's dawn, it's too late to get up......"
Liu Shayue just opened her eyes, her mind was still a little dazed, and she slowed down for a while before thanking her.
"Thank you for calling me, can you tell me where we are going to wash and where to eat?"
She slept all night, and ate a lot of things yesterday, and although her body was not fully raised, it was much stronger than the one she looked like she was dying yesterday.
The tall girl saw that Liu Shayue didn't understand anything, so she took the initiative to take on the role of introduction.
"You came too late yesterday and slept too fast, there are many things we haven't had time to tell you, my name is Xiaolian, I changed it when the housekeeper accepted my deed, what about you?"
As she spoke, she handed over a set of dark green clothes, and carefully reached out to help her.
"Get up and put on your clothes, this is sent by the housekeeper before, and we who just arrived have to wear them."
Liu Shayue stood up with her strength, and while replying, she took off the patched clothes on her body and changed into the maid clothes provided by the Zhao family.
"My name is Liu Shayue, you can just call me Shayue."
Only then did she realize that the clothes she brought were not as good as the clothes that people wore for the maids, this kind of fine linen material, at least there was no feeling of being harsh when she wore it.
Xiaolian saw her love for clothes, and couldn't help but get a lot closer to Liu Shayue, last night I saw her extraordinary bearing, and thought she was a young lady from a rich family in distress.
Today, when I saw her joy when she got her new clothes, I realized that she was from the same poor background as herself.
Xiaolian took Liu Shaoyue's hand from the ripe ripeness.
"Sha Yue, you come with me, I'll tell you where the places to wash and eat are, this Zhao family is fine......
Xiaolian was like a little sparrow, chirping in her ear.
From her introduction, Liu Shayue gradually understood the specific situation of the Zhao family now.
The main house is occupied by the head of the Zhao family, Master Zhao and his wife Bai.
The two have three sons and two daughters, the eldest young master gradually took over the family business, the second young master studied hard all night, planning to take the path of scientific examination, and the third young master is the son of the Zhao family, and he is only six years old now.
Master Zhao had two concubines when he was young, but his health was not good, so he went early.
Now there are only the old lady Bai and the young grandmother Zhou, the two hostesses.
In Xiaolian's mouth, the population is simple, and it can be regarded as a top and top owner.
looked at Xiaolian's happy face when she mentioned these masters of the Zhao family.
After Liu Shayue finished washing, she pretended to ask casually, "Since the population is simple, why do you still want to find so many maids from us?" ”
She wondered if she would hear different reasons, after all, now that she was sold into the Zhao Mansion, she could learn more about the situation of this family, it would only be good for her, not bad.
