On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 288 Tea Serving
After Mrs. Hu came in, she started to complain: "Girl, no one in this yard can do anything. We are fetching water, boiling water, and bringing water. We have been busy until now."

After hearing this, Xiao Xiao looked at Granny Yan first and saw her silently starting to clear away the dishes on the table.

These two women were given to her by the eldest sister.

Xiao Xiu was married from Wu Ning, and the Sanjin compound originally returned to the Jiang family became Xiao Xiu's dowry.

After she married into the Jiang family, she had to greet the old lady every day and follow her to see how she managed the house.

It's not that she neglected her mother-in-law and didn't go to greet her mother-in-law, but that her mother-in-law had to sleep until she woke up naturally, dress up, and write if she was interested. It would be nice to catch up with lunch.

In the afternoon, Xiao Xiu would also chat with her mother-in-law, or listen to her play the piano, watch her draw, or read to her.

Jiang Yu would also return to Wu Ning from Yuhang every once in a while to be with her.

Anyway, life was fulfilling.

She was diagnosed with pregnancy again last month, and now everyone in the Jiang family is surrounding her. Even when Xiao Xiao gets married and Xiao Xiu goes back to her parents' house to add makeup, it is Old Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang who accompany her. Back.

Fortunately, they are all doctors. The one thing on their lips at this time is to be extra careful in the first three months.

Therefore, it took them two or three days to travel from Wuning to Yuhang by carriage, but they walked for eight days.

It's really an exaggeration.

In addition to adding two dowries to her sister, Xiao Xiu also sent two mothers-in-law: "Mother Hu is good at inquiring about information, and mother Yan is cautious. I will follow you to the general's mansion, if I can talk to you."

Privately, he gave her the deeds of sale of the two of them, and also told her their origins: "The two of them used to serve in the General's Mansion and the back house of Shuntian Mansion, but the masters committed crimes and were exterminated, and the servants died. A lot of it was bought, and the rest was sold.”

"Both of their families have died, and both of them are sick. After my father-in-law met them one after another, they bought them back."

Only people like this can use it with peace of mind.

It is also because, for the rest of their lives, they can only count on their new master being good, so that they can live a good life.

She bought the two maids from Yaren herself, and she had an idea and named them Menghui and Yiqian.

This was also what she was thinking about, thinking that she could go back to the past in her dream.

Or when you wake up, you realize you just had a dream.

If you shout their names more often, your dream may come true one day.

Even if you don't have sweet dreams, calling their names can remind you where you come from.

Xiao Xiao came back to her senses and said calmly: "I'm not marrying the second young master in the house, how can I control them?"

When Yan's mother heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore: "Girl, you can't say this."

If outsiders heard it, what would the girl think of the second young master?

"I know, it's mainly because I'm with you that I can speak freely." Xiao Xiao looked at them: "Don't call me girl anymore, call me eldest mistress."

"Yes," all four of them bowed in agreement: "Young lady."

Xiao Xiao asked two women to take her bath.

Mainly because they learned massage techniques at Jiang's house, which was an enjoyment she couldn't refuse.

So when Li Yan came back, he saw Xiao Xiao sleeping soundly.

He thought for a while and didn't wake her up. He quietly went to the inner room to take a bath before lying quietly outside.

Although there were many charming thoughts in my heart, all thoughts disappeared when I thought of what I had promised my mother-in-law.

He also drank too much today, closed his eyes, and fell asleep quickly.

The autumn breeze in August is refreshing, the red candles are swaying in the wind, and the room is warm. The next morning, when Xiao Xiao woke up and wanted to go to the bathroom, she saw someone else on the pillow.

If I hadn't seen him, I would have almost forgotten that I was married.

She heard that people with martial arts skills would unconsciously attack when they hear noise.

She didn't want to make fun of her own life, so she called him first: "Husband, are you awake? We have to serve tea today?"

Li Yan has actually woken up.

It's almost Chen time, and the sun has been out for a while. It's an hour later than usual when I wake up.

But he didn't leave because he knew that the yard was filled with his aunt's mother, and he was afraid that if he got up first, it would make people think that he didn't value Xiao Xiao.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he couldn't bear to wake her up.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law was considerate of her second brother and sister-in-law, and said that if she wanted to serve tea in the middle of the day, it would be useless to go too early.

Therefore, he simply closed his eyes and rested his mind, while thinking about the people he met yesterday and the news he heard.

It wasn't until Xiao Xiao called him that he opened his eyes: "Okay, why don't you get up first?"

When he was recuperating at the Xiao family last year, he had already noticed that Xiao Xiao was not a diligent person.

She would never get up until the sun was up.

It's a pity that she is marrying herself now. Thinking that her aunt will definitely ask her to set the rules, Li Yan doesn't know what to tell her?

Xiao Xiao really didn't have time to talk to him.

Looking at the sky outside, she knew it was getting late, but how long would it take for a girl to dress up and wash herself?

She got up and went to the cleansing room first. After coming out, she went to the gate and said, "Come in, please?"

Even though she was now used to the presence of maids and wives, she did not let them keep vigil at night. The first rule she set for them was that no matter what the matter was, they were not allowed to wake her up rashly.

They also have to wait for her to call people in before they can come in.

Before she could finish her words, the door was pushed open. Hu's mother endured her anxiety and saluted her with Yan's mother and the others: "Hello, eldest young lady."

"Get up," Xiao Xiao felt that it was true that it was natural to get used to it: "Mother Hu, give me a simpler bun."

She loves and hates her long hair.

Whether it's washing your hair or combing your hair into a bun, it's a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

This is the advantage of having maids and wives, they can do everything for you.

"Young lady, today is your happy day, how can you do a simple bun?" Although Mrs. Hu usually talks a little bit, she can do her bun very neatly: "Today, I will do an acacia bun with red hair." Pomegranate flower gold hairpins and bracelets with pomegranate flowers are auspicious.”

There was no need to do it himself, Xiao Xiao didn't express any opinion.

Of course, she didn't have time to express her opinion, because Menghui had already brought her a bowl of porridge made from dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds.

Xiao Xiao ate the porridge and murmured in her heart: He and I are as pure as green onions mixed with tofu. No matter how much porridge I eat, I won't be able to give birth to a baby.

Fortunately, the porridge was soft, glutinous, sweet, and tasted really good. She felt that she could have another bowl.

Unfortunately, after she finished the porridge, Yiqing handed her the tea that had been prepared long ago and asked her to rinse her mouth.

Yan's mother also put the coat she had prepared on her, and also put on a little rouge and gouache to add a bit of joy.

The four maids and wives circled around her, and they were busy for a while before they could go out to meet people.
