Chapter 190 Yixiu. 30
When Huichun took her back, Xiaoyue's colleagues were envious. They saw Xiaoyue following Huichun with her head held high, carrying a thin, shriveled bag on her back.
From now on, she will no longer be a slave who can be bullied by anyone! She no longer has to go hungry and cold. Aunt Huichun is such a good person, and Lady Yi is a master like a bodhisattva. She has finally climbed out of this pile of mud.
Xiaoyue made up her mind that she must serve Lady Yi well and study hard under Aunt Huichun, so that she can become a well-known maid in the future!
"Oh, it's snowing. Let's go quickly." Huichun took a look at the sky and hurriedly took Xiaoyue to Qingyin Pavilion.
After entering the courtyard, Huichun went to the corridor and brushed off the snow on her body, then turned to Xiaoyue and said, "I'll take you to the side room to pack your things. There are enough servants serving in Qingyin Pavilion. The rooms are two people per room, but since you just arrived, it will be crowded. You can live with me."
"It's just right. The kang is big, just right for one person."
Originally, the kang in the servants' room was not good enough, but Lady Yi saw that they felt cold in winter and had someone repair it. The quilts they laid were all warm, so they could sleep in it with peace of mind.
No longer worry about someone waking up to freeze to death after a snowfall.
Huichun brought Xiaoyue into her room. As the woman most valued by Lady Fu Jin after Aunt Jianqiu, her living quarters were not small, not to mention Jianqiu.
Huichun only slept on one side, first laying a layer of straw underneath, then covering it with a bamboo mat, and then a quilt.
Most of the things that Yixiu had used or had no use in the previous year were awarded to the servants under her. Among them, Huichun got the most, and as for Jianqiu, he was already considered half a master.
Naturally, everything is good.
Aren't the reasons why these slaves are fighting to climb up so much just to make their lives better and more decent?
Aunt Jianqiu is the best example. Many of the things she wears were awarded by Lady Fujin.
Huichun was second in rank, but Fu Jin had just given her a pair of bracelets as a reward a few years ago, and she loved them so much that she was reluctant to wear them.
Seeing Xiaoyue staring blankly at the room, Huichun called her and said, "What are you staring at? Come over and put your things down. I happen to have an unused box in the back, so I'll give it to you."
Huichun was busy helping her pack her things. Xiaoyue couldn't help but want to cry again. No one had ever been so nice to her.
She wiped her eyes, took a deep breath and went over to help with a smile. Today was such a good day, she should be happy, why was she crying!
There was a sound of charcoal burning in Qingyin Pavilion. The charcoal she used was carefully burned, so there would be no problem of dizziness. Jianqiu sat on the footstool and did needlework, while Yixiu leaned on the kang and read a book.
She would change her posture from time to time when she felt tired. There was warm tea at hand, and rare fruits and snacks were also seen in her place.
Huichun walked in and smiled when she saw Yixiu: "Madam, Xiaoyue has made arrangements and is waiting for you to summon her. I want to thank you in person."
Jianqiu got up from the footstool, packed up her things, and looked at Yixiu. Seeing her nod, she said, "In that case, ask her to come in so that Fu Jin can take a closer look."
"Yes!"
Xiaoyue was standing uneasily at the door. This was the first time she had formally met the Lady. In the garden in the morning, she must have looked extremely disgusting. Now... she had to behave well so as not to embarrass Aunt Huichun!
Huichun lifted the curtain to block the wind and called her: "Come in quickly."
Xiaoyue's heart trembled, and she stepped in quickly. Huichun took her to Yixiu, and seeing that she was burying her head, she said, "Go and meet the wife."
"Your servant Xiaoyue pays respects to Madam Madam! May Madam Madam be blessed with good fortune!"
With a bang, Xiaoyue knelt firmly on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Yixiu felt pain when hearing the banging sounds. She felt amused and let her get up.
Jianqiu and Huichun also looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Xiaoyue muttered, Yixiu softened his expression, "You too, why are you kneeling so firmly? Aren't you afraid of getting bumped? If you get hurt right away, how can you be a good operative?"
Xiaoyue was delighted. No one had ever cared about her so much! Mrs. Fu is so nice!
Yixiu glanced at Huichun. Xiaoyue was a wonderful person after she had washed herself up. She seemed to have a clean mind, so he didn't make things difficult for her and asked her to work with Huichun in the future.
"You will work with Huichun in the future. Help her during normal times. It will be your turn to be busy in the spring."
"Yes! I will definitely live up to Madam Madam's high expectations!"
Xiaoyue was really happy. Yixiu looked at her clothes, paused for a moment, and said to Jianqiu, "Find her some clean clothes. Huichun, you are tired too, go down and have a rest."
"Yes, I thank you, Madam."
Huichun then took Xiaoyue back. She had just arrived today and there happened to be nothing big to do in winter, so Aunt Jianqiu would usually take care of all the affairs around the concubine.
Huichun only needs to help Jianqiu. When Fu Jin starts to grow flowers, that will be her time to take charge.
Now he took Xiaoyue back and said, "You haven't had lunch yet. I'll go get it."
Huichun specifically told the person in the small kitchen that the food was still being warmed on the stove when she came back.
When the kitchen master saw Huichun coming in, he immediately smiled and said, "Sister Huichun is here, the food is still hot."
"Hey, thank you very much. Is that enough?"
"You have instructed me in advance, don't worry."
The eunuch gave him a look that said "you know what I'm doing". Huichun nodded and gave him a piece of silver. "Thank you very much."
"That's not what my sister said."
After Huichun left, the eunuch was happy for a while. Not to mention that Huichun was someone close to the lady, just the silver she gave him was enough for him.
After waiting for Huichun and Xiaoyue to leave, Jianqiu smiled and said, "I think this little girl has a pure heart."
"Yes."
Yixiu flipped through the book and said to her, "If you ask someone to watch you, you don't need to watch too much if you just do your job."
"Yes."
Jianqiu understood, and just after she had rested for a while, Su Peisheng came in again.
"Eunuch Su."
Su Peisheng looked at Yixiu and bowed respectfully, and then he explained the purpose of his visit.
"The prince asked me to report to Concubine Yi that she has been ill recently, so the prince summoned Madam Ulanara to come in and take care of her for a while."
"Oh? I see. I just don't know when the lady will arrive?"
Su Peisheng looked at Yixiu's face without any change, and said with his head down: "She will be here in five days. I will trouble you to entertain her then. The prince has ordered that the lady's daily life should be in the main courtyard. Please help arrange it for her."
"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Eunuch Su."
"Then I will take my leave."
Yixiu nodded, feeling disgusted at the arrival of Lady Ulanara.
