Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 18

Nan Yan shares a well with Aunt Zhang's next door. This well is at the gate of Aunt Zhang's house, which was dug by Uncle Zhang bit by bit many years ago.

Although it is not like in Shugang Village, every day before dawn, I have to go to the big well at the entrance of the village to fetch water. Nan Yan, who has small arms and legs, keeps pumping water back and forth at the gate of the courtyard and pours it into the big tank. It is also not light physical work.What's more, there is now a big Buddha like Yu Ranyue, which is really a headache.

In order to ensure that Qi Yuhao still had water for bathing later, Nan Yan took the bucket to fetch water from the well at the door.

With her hands behind her back, Yu Ranyue paced back and forth in the yard, yawning from time to time, probably because she was very sleepy after a day of traveling.

Watching Nanyan wipe the sweat and pour the water from the well into the bathtub again and again, and pour some of the water into the pot to heat up, Yu Ranyue seemed to follow in with interest.

She stretched her head and looked around the kitchen, and finally her eyes rested on the huge bathtub.

She touched the inner surface of the upper surface of the bathtub with her left hand, and suddenly frowned, and asked, "Why is the upper part of the bathtub wet? Didn't you just pour the water in?"

That's right, the two buckets of water that Nanyan brought just floated to the bottom of the basin, not enough to make the top of the basin wet.

Nan Yan didn't raise her head, she continued to add water to the tub, "At noon, I saw that the sun was fine, so I took a bath."

It turned out that the afternoon was sunny, warm and pleasant. Nan Yan took a shower when she had nothing to do.

Yu Ranyue wiped the hem of her silk skirt with the two fingers that had just touched the water stain in the basin, and then continued to watch Nanyan fetch water back and forth into the bathtub calmly.

Yu Ranyue's eyes stayed on Nan Yan who was fetching water back and forth, and she didn't look away for a moment.Her contemptuous eyes made anyone feel uncomfortable after seeing her.

Nan Yan's beauty was something Yu Ranyue had never heard of in the past ten years. Even the looks of the stunning princesses she had seen in the palace still lacked some inexplicable taste compared to Nan Yan.

Yu Ranyue doesn't envy Nan Yan's beauty, she only exists jealousy towards her, the first time she saw her, Yu Ranyue became jealous.

How could Yu Ranyue tolerate such a rare and peerless beauty who worked all day in front of the person she cared for?
The so-called long-term love, even if Qi Yuhao only treats Nan Yan as a servant, there is no guarantee that one day he will not be attracted to this seductive embryo.

It is not uncommon for the emperor to take a fancy to maids in the palace. How many of those maids who were favored by the emperor can live for a long time?Not all of them were tortured to death by those jealous concubines and nobles, and the final end was to die without a corpse.

Thinking of this, Yu Ranyue actually showed a secretive smile that didn't match her age from the corner of her mouth. In the dim shadow of the candlelight, it suddenly made people feel a little scared.

"The so-called confidante is a disaster! Nanyan... As long as I am here, you will never have a good life."

Yu Ranyue, who is only 15 years old, will not be as ruthless as the concubines and nobles in the palace. All she wants to do is to drive away this beautiful woman named Nan Yan and tell her to go back to her father Zhao Yi. Then hang around under Qi Yuhao's roof all day, lest Qi Yuhao fall in love with him one day.

Seeing Nanyan sweating profusely back and forth to half-fill the tub with water, just as she was carrying the bucket to go out of the kitchen to continue fetching water, Yu Ranyue suddenly made an embarrassing move.

She raised both hands and lifted the tub with a little effort, and the half of the tub of water that Nanyan called flowed out with a "crash".

Not to mention the tub half filled with water, even if there is no water in it, Nan Yan would have to spend a lot of effort to take it away on weekdays.Yu Ranyue is worthy of being a woman who has learned kung fu. She has a small body, but her arms are not powerful.

If Nan Yan and Yu Ranyue had a one-on-one fight, Nan Yan would definitely lose!

Fortunately, Nan Yan had quick eyes and quick hands. When she noticed Yu Ranyue's astonishing move, she hurriedly jumped a few steps outside the kitchen.Although the rolling water didn't wet Nanyan's Qingluo in a large area, the skirt was already wet in a large area.

People were spared from the "flood" of this sudden attack, but none of the firewood and the ground in the kitchen were spared.The kitchen is as wet as it should be, and excess water is bubbling away into the mud outside the kitchen.

"What the hell are you doing?" Seeing this sudden situation, Nan Yan lost her mind angrily, and yelled at this unreasonable general's daughter.

Seeing that the water in the tub had run out, Yu Ranyue let go of her hands, only to hear a "boom" and the sound of the other two feet of the tub falling to the ground.

"You servant, how dare you yell at this lady! What am I doing, why don't you ask yourself? You took this tub to take a bath, and now you want to fill it up and bathe this lady? This lady is What kind of identity, what kind of scumbag are you, how could I use the same tub to bathe with a servant like you?"

Yu Ranyue's eyes were full of vigor, facing Nan Yan's shocked and angry eyes.

This Yu Ranyue is really not an easy thing to mess with!Just now, after asking Nan Yan the reason why the top of the tub was wet, she kept her expression on the ground, and waited until Nan Yan filled up the water in the basin to the top half.

Nan Yan thought to herself, she really underestimated this master.I thought she was being unreasonable when playing with children, and her picky temper was fine, but I didn't expect her to be so scheming.

However, a 15-year-old girl is so deep in the city. If no one trains her well, I don't know what more speechless things this little girl will do in the future.

Qi Yuhao, who heard the movement outside the house, came out, and before he got close, he found a puddle of water on the ground.

"What happened?" Qi Yuhao knew that Yu Ranyue must have made the noise, but he just looked at Nan Yan coldly.

Nan Yan remained calm, but threw the bucket aside angrily, and snorted, "Ask her!"

Before Qi Yuhao turned his head to look at Yu Ranyue, Yu Ranyue took the initiative to step forward and hugged Qi Yuhao's arm, and said in a coquettish voice, "Yuhao, this is too much for asking me to use her bath Take a bath in the bathtub, do you think I can not be angry? How can I use the same bathtub with a servant? It's too demeaning."

Qi Yuhao didn't look directly at Yu Ranyue, and gently pushed away her arms holding his arms with the other hand.

"This place is no different than the capital city, and there are not so many rules. There is only one bathtub at home, and she and I take turns using it on weekdays. Ran Yue, if you don't like it, I have nothing to do, unless I go to the market tomorrow and buy another bathtub. .” Qi Yuhao said without any tone.

"Then tonight I..." Yu Ranyue didn't ask any further, because the answer would be that there was no other way, either to use this bathtub to wash, or to endure it and wait until the new bathtub came back the next day.

"Have you thought it through yet?" Qi Yuhao asked indifferently, looking ahead.

"I..." Yu Ranyue originally wanted to say that she would wait until the new bathtub arrived the next day before taking a bath, but she was already in a bit of discomfort after traveling all day and being unable to take a bath a few days ago because of a poisonous snake wound on her chest.

"Anyway, I poured out the half of the basin of water just now, and I will use it to rinse the bathtub." This means that the bathtub has been cleaned, so I can make do with it.

Qi Yuhao understood, and called to Nanyan: "Go fetch water again!"

Nan Yan was very wronged, but because her family owed Qi Yuhao a lot of money, she silently agreed.It's just that she still has to suffer from the temper of Miss Yu Ranyue who seems to have an unusual relationship with Qi Yuhao, so Nan Yan is naturally furious.

"The firewood in the kitchen is all wet. I won't be able to cook tomorrow. I'll go to the back hillside to collect firewood. I'll ask Mr. Qi and Ms. Yu to solve the meal problem by themselves." When Nan Yan turned to fetch water with a bucket, she didn't forget Confessing such a sentence is considered a small revenge.

Qi Yuhao glanced at Nan Yan's somewhat angry back, then swept all the soaked firewood in the kitchen with the corner of his eyes, and secretly smiled behind Yu Ranyue's back.

"Yu Hao, look at her...what attitude!" Yu Ranyue pointed at Nan Yan's back, dissatisfied.

Qi Yuhao didn't make a sound, turned around and went back to the house.

Fortunately, the burning firewood under the stove was not wet by the well water, and the hot water in the cauldron was also boiled, otherwise Yu Ranyue would not be able to take a hot bath tonight.

Finally filled the basin with water, Nan Yan tested the water with her hands, and the temperature was just right.She then added a screen to the door and called Yu Ranyue in to take a bath.

Yu Ranyue took off all the clothes on her body, showing her slightly plump fair figure that had just grown for more than a year, and stepped into the tub with one foot.

Lying comfortably in the tub, which is as tall as half a person, Yu Ranyue closed her eyes enjoying herself, but her wound bitten by a poisonous snake was still slightly purple and green, and she was still a little raw at the moment when she was immersed in the warm water. pain.

"Miss, your wound hasn't healed yet, so you shouldn't take too long in the bath." Nan Yan, who was standing on the other side of the screen waiting for orders, reminded angrily.

"Understood, you don't need to talk too much." Yu Ranyue frowned and squinted.

"Young Master Qi asked me to convey it."

Yu Ranyue was speechless now, and carefully soaked in the water to wash every inch of her skin.

"The water is too cold, right? Did you do it on purpose?"

"It's too hot, it's too hot, it's killing me! Can your servant heat the water!"

"The water is cold and lukewarm. Come and heat the water, my servant."

"Oh, it's too hot, add cold water..."

In this way, Yu Ranyue, the hard-to-serve general's little daughter, was temporarily defeated by Nan Yan.

Nan Yan, who was standing on the other side of the screen and waiting for orders all the time, was not only standing there like a wooden figure, she was also thinking about something in her mind...
