Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 280 One Night in Kyoto (4)
"Miss Li, let's go to the bathroom first."

Du Juan brought Qingli to the bathroom, where there was a maid waiting there. After seeing Qingli, they saluted and greeted Qingli uniformly, and her posture was uniform. It was well-trained at first glance. Thinking of her maid Erni, Qingli Squeezed a sweat.

"Miss Li, ask this old slave to wait for you to take a bath."

A woman who looked to be in her forties, her hair was combed neatly, her eyes shrewd, and she wore a gold hairpin on her head, she looked like she was of a high status, Qingli would still be surprised if she asked the general's wife to let such an important person serve her. A little apprehensive.

"I don't know what your name is, Sister?"

On the road recently, Qingli also learned a lot from watching those girls undergo training all day long, plus she has a photographic memory. She is just a young white-collar worker, and she doesn't change her face. What's more, in ancient times, she was a young lady. No matter how powerful these people are, they are still slaves. Thinking of this, she becomes more confident.

"It's good to call her mother-in-law."

Madam Yu was brought over by Madam from her natal family, she is also Madam's confidant, and she is also a big manager in the General's Mansion. This time, she was sent to serve a little girl. Although she was not dissatisfied, she also took it lightly. The little girl was calm, definitely not inferior to the official ladies she had seen.

"You are too modest, Madam Yu, to cause trouble for Madam."

Qing Li returned a half salute, and then obediently let Nanny Yu and the maids take off their clothes and wash up. I didn't think there was anything strange, on the contrary, I enjoyed it very much.

"Miss Li's skin is so white!"

The maid next to her also admired, she heard that Qingli was from the country, but she still didn't believe it, who could have made a mistake, how could a country girl be so imposing?

After washing, Nanny Yu also brought a box of balm with a faint fragrance, wiped Qing Li's cheeks, and massaged, "This balm is all extracted from flowers, it is a formula given by a genius doctor, not an outsider." The kind of lead powder that the shop sells."

Nanny Yu applied the ointment to Qingli, and she didn't forget to introduce it. Qingli felt that it was necessary to rob Peach Blossom Eye again. This ointment is really good to use, and the fragrance is light and not pungent. It is worthy of being rich and powerful People just know how to enjoy.

Counting Du Juan and four maids who served Qingli, two of them were older, wearing blue maid uniforms, and were all in the [-]th or [-]th grade. Qingli probably was the second-class maid in the house, and the other two were just Twelve and three, wearing orange maid clothes, should be a little bit lower, and third-class little maids, although they are maids, but their dresses are also made of silk and satin, and they can also wear a few silver hairpins on their heads, which shows that the general's mansion is rich and noble. Very, the servants are full of oil and water.

"Miss Li, come here and lie down on this recliner, and let this old servant wring your hair dry."

Qingli listened to Yuma Yu's words and sat on a reclining chair. Granny Yu moved some mechanism behind her. Her head was raised to a comfortable angle. The maidservants in the back divided the work and cooperated. Qingli squinted her eyes and enjoyed it a lot. He thought that if he had money in the future, he would have to buy a few maids to serve him, to train them well, and not to follow the way of a cook. Erni is a typical example of failure.

"The lady is here!"

Qingli was very tired, and it felt very comfortable to have a maid serving her for a massage. She heard someone talking suddenly, and almost sat up from the reclining chair.

"This is Xiaoli, isn't it? It's getting late, and I was thinking of asking you to go to An Road, so I came here to see you. Your fourth uncle is my savior. Look at the cleverness of your little girl." Xi looks a bit like your fourth uncle."

"lady."

Seeing that her hair had been combed, Qingli stood up to greet the general's wife, thinking in her heart that this lady was very different from what she thought.

The general's wife, Wen's upper body, is wearing a big peony-flowered emerald green veil, Bixialuo, and a light green long skirt. The cuffs and skirt are embroidered with light blue peonies, and a few auspicious clouds are drawn out with silver threads. Wearing a thin smoky emerald green gauze of gold threads, a jasper hairpin inlaid with pearls inserted obliquely in her low-hanging temples, her eyes are as clear as green waves, her face is beautiful and full of flowers, it is hard to imagine that she is the mother of the devil Chunyu, Qingli can't help but do it in her heart. Presumably, this can't be the stepmother, right?
"This is a little gadget I prepared. It is a gift from the elders to the younger generation."

Wen smiled softly, and asked the maid to hand Qingli a purse, which she felt looked like a jade bracelet.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Qingli saluted, not knowing what to say, she thought she was a high-cold headed mistress, and she probably wouldn't even meet her in person, who knew she was wrong, when she met such a gentle lady who was like a spring breeze, she was immediately at a loss, but she tried her best to maintain her superficial composure .

"It is said that the elders gave it to the younger generation. Your fourth aunt and I have always been like sisters. You can call me Aunt Wen, and I will call you Xiaoli."

Wen's family likes Qingli very much, the main reason is that she gave birth to her third brother son, the general's mansion is full of males, Chunyu Wen is the eldest, and there are still a pair of five-year-old twins who have already started to practice martial arts, although the general's mansion is rich , is also full of flowers, but there is a hidden crisis behind it. Although the emperor is in his prime, the princes below are a little restless. Now that the general led an army of 30 troops, he just won a battle and has not yet returned in triumph, and she dare not invite too many female relatives to the house. After all, the general's mansion has a lot of secrets. So there are not many people who can come to be guests.

There is no such worry about Qingli. She is the former head of the general's bodyguard. Now General Zhongwu is also the niece of her savior. She lives in Fengyang City in the north all the year round. Calm down, it's really cute.

Qing Li didn't know that Wen Shi thought so, so she would answer whatever Wen Shi asked, and also said the customs and customs along the way, plus Mammy Yu interjected from time to time to adjust the atmosphere.

Although the Wen family is a first-class lady, she doesn't have any airs. She doesn't talk about high-level topics. She also talks about the landscape of Kyoto, where there are delicious and interesting things, and which silk cloth, rouge and gouache are good. , and specifically mentioned a few time-honored dim sum shops. Qingli likes to talk about food the most, and she also talked about the food in Fengyang City, and the two chatted very happily.

"Xiao Li, I should tell your fourth aunt to keep you in the general's mansion for a few more days."

Her husband is away on an expedition, and there is no concubine at home to make things difficult. The whole day is boring except to deal with the affairs of the house. The twins have been taken to the temple in the capital to practice martial arts. They can only see each other basically once a month. On weekdays, she has nothing to do all day long. , I don’t know what to do, and she has always hoped to have a caring daughter, and then dress her up beautifully. Her natal family also has a niece, and she will be taken to the mansion for a few days from time to time, but she is an engaged woman after all. Not very convenient either.
