Chapter 29: The crowd laughed
There were already many maids in the backyard carrying water to wash clothes, and Yu Niang saw that she hurriedly stepped forward to find someone to carry water together.
Probably because she was new here, no one else was willing to carry water with her.
In the end, it was the black girl who changed with someone else, and came over with a bias and a bucket to carry the water with her.
The water tank was filled with water, and the two of them washed their clothes together. There were a lot of clothes, and the person who originally carried the water saw Yu Niang coming to wash the clothes, so he piled all the clothes in front of her and asked her to wash them alone.
In order not to expose herself, Yu Niang endured the difficulties of the maids and washed everyone's clothes, but fortunately there was a black girl on the side to help her.
Yu Niang is sincerely grateful to the black girl, and plans to take her away when she leaves, and the provincial stay in Liangfu implicates her.
After the two of them washed their clothes, it was dark, and the two of them set up bamboo poles under the eaves to dry their clothes.
After all the work was done, there was no dinner, Yu Niang didn't want to go, handed a steamed bun left over at noon to the black girl and said, "I'm sorry! There's still one steamed bun left here, you can eat it!"
The black girl took the steamed bun and broke it in half, put half of it in Yu Niang's hand and said, "Let's take half of each person." ”
Yu Niang shook her head and said, "You can eat! I'm not hungry." As he spoke, he put half of the steamed bun back into the black girl's hand.
"You really don't eat it?" the black girl stopped the steamed bun in her mouth and asked Yu Niang in surprise.
Yu Niang really can't eat this tasteless steamed bun, anyway, she has to go to find out the news at night, and then she will secretly eat some at that time.
The black girl saw that Yu Niang really didn't want to eat it, so she happily ate the other half of the steamed bun.
After eating the steamed buns, the black girl took Yu Niang to the kitchen to boil some hot water and wipe her body, and then went to sleep in the Chase Shop.
The two of them were covered with a small quilt, and Yu Niang was very unaccustomed to it.
So, I covered the quilt all over the black girl's body, and sat cross-legged to carry my internal strength to resist the cold of the night.
Waiting until midnight, everyone in the house fell asleep, and Yu Niang's luck gave them all a sleeping hole, and then she got up and left the house and ran to the study.
Coming to the study again, Yu Niang familiar from the back window turned in, the furnishings of the study are still the same as a few days ago, there are no major changes.
Yu Niang came to the desk and searched carefully, hoping to find traces, even under the stool. Unfortunately, I still didn't find the evidence I wanted.
Then I went to the bookshelf by the wall, opened every book to see if there were any letters sandwiched between them, and I looked through half of the bookshelf, but I couldn't find any letters, not even ordinary letters.
This is very wrong, there should be ordinary letters in the normal study, even if he doesn't write to others, there will be Shangfeng to write to him, how can there be none?
Where did this surnamed Liang put the letter and account books?
Seeing that the third watch has passed, the sky is about to dawn. You can't afford to go on any longer, or you'll be discovered.
Yu Niang put the books on the shelves back in their place, and each one was placed as before.
Soon he left the study and returned to his residence, where everyone was still asleep.
Yu Niang returned to her place and lay down, and luckily untied their sleeping holes. Then he pulled the corner of the quilt from the black girl and covered her body to sleep.
Maybe she was too tired during the day, and Yu Niang fell asleep soon after lying down.
Not long after falling asleep, the day dawned, and the maids got up one after another and woke up the jade lady who had just fallen asleep.
Yu Niang had no choice but to get up. After going to the well with the two black girls to fetch water and wash up.
Then Yu Niang went to the kitchen in the backyard alone, ready to continue chopping wood.
As soon as I took the axe in my hand, I went to see Mama Hua coming over with two maids, and asked her to carry water, and then come over to chop wood after picking water.
Put down the axe in her hand, and went to pick up the bucket to carry water, and finally filled the water tank with water, and Yu Niang quickly picked up the axe to chop wood.
By the time she finished chopping the firewood and rushed to the kitchen, she had already eaten her lunch, and she didn't even leave a single steamed bun. The maids who were collecting the bowls after eating saw Yu Niang coming, and they all smiled and whispered on the side.
said that it was a whisper, but in fact, Yu Niang heard it clearly. Everyone laughed at her, it's not good to offend anyone, but she offended Mama Hua, and now she's unlucky!
Yu Niang listened to the words of the maids and shook her head helplessly.
In fact, she didn't know Mama Hua at all, she just entered the house yesterday, how could she offend people, it is estimated that Mama Hua deliberately wanted to fix her. I just don't know what the reason is?
There was no food to eat, so Yu Niang could only go back to her room hungry. The black girl is not in the room, and the other people Yu Niang doesn't know and doesn't want to know.
Yu Niang lay on the bed alone to rest, waiting for the black girl to come back by the way.
In a daze, Yu Niang fell asleep on the bed, and was woken up when she was sleeping, and when she opened her eyes, it turned out to be a black girl who came back.
When the black girl saw Yu Niang wake up, she said to her, "Yu Niang, when did you come back? Have you eaten? I still have half a steamed bun here." ”
As she spoke, the black girl handed the half of the steamed bun to Yu Niang.
Yu Niang looked at the finger prints on the steamed bun, there was no taste at all, and said to the black girl with a smile: "You can eat! I'm not hungry." ”
"How can you not be hungry after being busy for most of the day, hurry up and eat! I specially left it for you." The black girl stuffed the steamed bun into Yu Niang's hand and left.
Yu Niang couldn't, so she had to pinch her mouth little by little with her hands, and when she saw that no one around was paying attention to her, she put the half of the steamed bun into the space.
After a while, the black girl poured a glass of water and came over to Yu Niang and asked her, "Have you finished eating the steamed buns?" Drink some water and moisten your throat. ”
Yu Niang took it after thanking her, drank the water in the cup in one go, and then said, "Black girl, what did Mama Hua arrange for you to do in the morning?
"Well, I was sent to fertilize the flowers in the fifth aunt's yard. The fifth aunt watched from the side, commanding here and there, and the result was all wrong.
We can only dig out the fertilizer again, reduce what should be reduced, and add what should be added.
That's why I was so busy until so late, but fortunately, a good sister left me a steamed bun. The brunette said as she pounded her waist.
When Yu Niang saw it, she let the black girl lie on the bed, clenched her fist and gently pounded her waist.
After helping the black girl beat for a while, Yu Niang heard someone outside shouting and asked her to hurry up and wash her clothes.
Yu Niang didn't dare to slack off, covered the black girl with a quilt, let her rest well, and went to wash her clothes by herself. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have to eat dinner.
In this way, under the arrangement of Mama Hua, Yu Niang did chores in the backyard for a month.
The heavy chores made Yu Niang very tired, and she had to look for evidence of the crime in the Liang Mansion at night, and Yu Niang didn't even have time to practice.
That night, Yu Niang lay in bed and did not sleep, nor did she go out to search for incriminating evidence.
Staring at the dark beams of the room, I thought to myself: It has been more than 20 days since I arrived at the Liang Mansion, and I have searched for dozens of rooms in the Liang Mansion, but I still haven't found the letter or account book I want.
But after more than 30 days of chores in vain, I couldn't straighten my tired waist, and I often starved.
I don't even have time to practice swords and boxing, let alone meditate and practice.
Where did this old man surnamed Liang hide his account books? I searched all the rooms, and I searched the study, but I couldn't find it. Is there something missing?
The undying Jade Lady got up from the bed and came to the study again, this time through the window.
The first few times I came in, Yu Niang didn't dare to light the lamp for fear of being discovered, and looked for it in the dark.
This time, Yu Niang took a small night pearl from the space and looked for it carefully in the study. I didn't even let go of the floor, and I knocked it one by one before leaving.
