Seeing that mother and daughter were silent, Uncle Liang felt a little softer in his heart. In any case, the mother and daughter of the Xiao family were not the kind of people who like to take advantage of nothing, which is worthy of admiration.
"Mrs. Xiao, this is just my husband's statement as an elder. You and Miss Xiao can live in peace." As for what the statement was, Minghua knew it, but Xiao Leshi did not.
Xiao Leshi wanted to ask, but Minghua had already spoken, "In this case, Uncle Liang would like to thank the old man on our behalf. I know how much the old man loves the younger generation."
Oh, the little girl is smart enough.
Uncle Liang glanced at her in surprise, then smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "You guys have a rest first. The maid will bring you hot water later. You need to tidy up and have a good rest. In the evening, my husband will hold a banquet for the two of you and also introduce You two, please get to know the young master, young madam, young master, and young ladies in the mansion."
"Thank you."
Uncle Liang was very happy that his master had a very smart disciple.
After they left, Xiao Leshi closed the door and asked her, "Minghua, what did Uncle Liang mean by his words just now?"
"Mom, my husband has arranged this, and we will continue like this; there are many masters in Weiyuan Duke's mansion, and my husband is supporting us. In every mansion, there are indispensable people who look down on others. My husband has expressed his position, and we are very important. His old man values me very much. Those people don’t dare to bully us. Even though my old man received us indifferently, in fact, everything has been arranged for us. "
This shows that my husband is a thoughtful person.
It is true that the mansion of Duke Weiyuan is very large, and the gate is the standard for high-ranking officials and nobles. This shows how valuable the status of the old man is, and he must be of high power, and yet he can still remain standing in the court for decades. , it can’t be done without any delicate thoughts.
"My husband is really thoughtful. After you become a disciple, you should be filial to him and treat him as your own grandfather. You have to put in a lot of effort." If you hold on to the thick legs of your husband, your daughter will have nothing to worry about in the capital.
"I know, mother; put your luggage down and take a rest."
Minghua helped take the two people's luggage rattan boxes and put them on the ground. Only then did Xiao Leshi have the time to look at the guest room carefully. After wandering around, she discovered that the guest room was composed of two bedrooms, with a living room in the middle. They and their daughter could One person sleeps in one room.
"Sanya, you sleep in the room opposite." That room is bigger, and the other one is smaller.
Minghua shook her head, "You sleep in the big room opposite, and I sleep in this side; you are the elder, how could any elder give up a big room to a junior to sleep in?"
Xiao Leshi wanted her daughter to live in a better place, but her daughter was right; don't give others the impression that her daughter is unfilial, so she could only live in a larger room.
"Don't put your things away yet, just bring out a change of clothes." Minghua said, "We can't live in the palace forever. We will have to move out in two days at most."
It doesn't make sense to live in the palace all the time. People who don't know about it think they are here to catch the autumn wind.
"Listen to you."
"Knock knock knock."
"Guest, the hot water has been delivered. Can we come in?" A soft voice came from outside the door.
Xiao Leshi looked at her daughter, a little at a loss.
Minghua was relatively calm. She only gave her mother a comforting look and said loudly, "Send it in."
"yes."
The door opened in response, and a group of six maids walked in front carrying a bath bucket, and four maids came in behind carrying wooden buckets. The wooden buckets were filled with steaming hot water, and the wooden buckets were placed in the larger room. Pour in the hot water.
Ten maids exited the room, and the other four maids left twice more, filling the barrel with half of the water before stopping.
"Guest, you can take a shower and change clothes. When you get up, call your slave. She will be outside the door." The maids exited the room.
Minghua smiled. These maids were well-trained and did things in a precise manner; they were neither annoying nor annoying.
"Mom, you wash first. When you're done, ask them to change the water before I wash."
"It's better for you to go first. Once you're done, I'll just wash you with your water. I won't bother anyone else." She still couldn't let go.
Minghua shook her head and laughed, and just pushed her mother inside, "You wash first, and I will wash after you're done; don't let me go first, I'll sit down and rest, and you wash slowly."
"Stop pushing. I'll wash you. Why don't you wake up while I'm washing you? You kid."
Xiao Leshi entered the big room. Minghua turned around and opened the rattan box. She first found a set of clothes and sent them to Xiao Leshi so that she could get up and put them on. Then, she also found some clean clothes. The weather was hot along the way. I take a shower and change clothes when the weather is not hot, but I don’t change clothes at all when the weather is not hot.
The weather is hot, so the clothes can be washed and dried quickly, so that they can catch up with the next day's trip; the weather is bad, and it is difficult to wash the clothes after changing them, which is a troublesome thing. Therefore, people in ancient times were very particular about changing clothes when traveling, but they were also very careless about it.
After getting her things ready, she sat cross-legged on the carpet in the house, secretly thinking about what happened after entering the palace; thinking about the path to take in the future, and how to go in the future.
My husband doesn’t say that he likes her, but he definitely has no objection to her; therefore, my husband has to go this way, Dean Fan has to go the same way, and so does the future master. She had to behave well and let the elders treat her as their dearest junior.
If your family background is not enough, you have to make do with knowledge.
When the calculation was almost done, Xiao Leshi wiped her hair and walked out of the inner room, "Sanya, mother has finished washing, and mother will call you hot water to wash yourself; don't mention it, the bathtub in the palace is really big and has a lot of water. , it’s comfortable to wash.”
"You go back in the house and wipe your hair, I'll call." Minghua jumped up and opened the door. She saw four maids standing quietly outside. She couldn't help but sigh that the ancients were really kind in training their servants. Look. Look at these young ladies who are well-trained, and they don’t say much or do much when serving people. “Sisters, my mother has finished washing, please help me change the hot water.”
"Miss, the slaves can't afford your words. I will change the water right now. You sit down and rest for a while." The four maids worked together, laboriously moved out the tub, poured the water first, and then sent it again. Back in the room, they went to get hot water to wash and then poured clean water in.
After they filled half of the bathtub with water, they exited the room again, leaving the space for Minghua.
Minghua carried her clothes into the house and washed her hair and body. After washing her body, she felt relieved. She put on clean clothes and wrapped her hair in a dry towel. She felt refreshed and in a better mood.
After walking out of the room, she called the maids to pour water to clean the water stains in the house. She ran to her mother's house. Seeing that her mother was still wiping her hair, she stepped forward to help wipe it with her.
After the mother and daughter dried each other, they sat on a stool to dry their hair. After washing, the hair is either wiped dry or dry. Most people will sit quietly to dry the moisture on their scalp after wiping it dry, otherwise it is easy to accumulate moisture. .
"Madam, Miss, the house is ready; someone will bring food to you two later."
"I know, you are busy with your business." Minghua responded again.
After they left, they looked at each other and smiled. At the same time, Xiao Leshi could not help but feel ashamed; her daughter was better able to deal with these scenes than she was an adult, and she would not dare to go out with her daughter in the future to avoid embarrassment.
