Chapter 11 The girl speaks privately with the young lady
Du Juan is a steady and capable person who knows how to advance and retreat. Seeing the master's order, he knew that the eldest lady was unwilling to them to serve him. He immediately responded and was about to withdraw, but Zhiniao smiled and said,
"Miss, don't be shy. We have served the second lady in the wife's yard. The third lady, even the eldest and second masters, we have served us..."
Wu Xinan brows moved when he heard this, thought about it and waved,
"That's true, come and serve me!"
The two nodded and came over to wear a loose dress for her, and then helped her into the wooden barrel. Then one took the fragrant putty and wiped her body, and the other took the coarse cloth to rub her back. The two of them tweaked Wu Xin'an's long wet hair on her back, revealing the skin on her back. They only saw that the skin was as bright as wheat. Although it was not fair, it was smooth and delicate, without any flaws, and there was no spot. They reached out and stroked it gently, and they were really slippery.
The two couldn't help but look at each other secretly, and they were amazed.
"Everyone says this young lady grew up in the mountains, so why do she have such good skin?"
They are also from poor families and know that although the children in the mountains are thick and born with nature, their skin is something that has been suffered by all mosquitoes, snakes and flies. They are no match for these ladies who are raised in the deep house. They have fine skin and tender flesh, fair skin and beautiful appearance.
Zhiniao was a man who couldn't hide his words, so he asked Wu Xin'an carefully.
"Miss, this skin is really good. Have you been raising your mother in the mountain village for you over the years?"
They served the second and third ladies, so they naturally knew that Xiao Cheng had brought the prescriptions from her parents' home to take care of their daughters' bodies and skin care.
Wu Xinan sat in the big bucket, playing with the rose petals in the water, and responded,
"I climb trees in the village every day, and the sun is exposed to the wind and sun, and there is time to nourish my skin..."
Guan’s mother wanted to lock her in the house, learn the rules seriously and restrain her temperament, but she couldn’t stop her lady from being able to climb the beams of the house, and she couldn’t even close her!
Du Juan wiped Wu Xin'an's shoulders with a coarse cloth, and felt that the skin was really like cream. Even when the warm water was poured on, it couldn't be kept at all, but it turned into water droplets and rolled down in a moment. She couldn't help but sigh,
"Miss has such a good skin. The second and third lady are really incomparable..."
Wu Xinan kept them down, and waited for this sentence. Hearing the words, he continued,
"How can I compare my second and third sisters? They live a pampered life at home. How can they be like a wild girl in the mountain village?"
Zhiniao responds to the truth,
"This... you are wrong. The second and third ladies have fair skin, but they are not as smooth and elastic as the eldest ladies. They will become dry and itchy when they fall and winter. Before the beginning of winter, they will not dare to burn charcoal early in the house. Otherwise, they will have rashes on their bodies!"
"oh……"
Wu Xinan said curiously,
"Why do you have to have rashes on your body even if you burn charcoal?"
Zhiniao responds to the truth,
"My wife hired a doctor to treat her earlier and said that the ladies were delicate and dry in winter. The burning of charcoal fire was also toxic. If the skin was contaminated, it would be unbearable. Therefore, the second and third ladies had to use special prescriptions to nourish their skin in winter..."
Wu Xinan sighed after hearing this,
"I see that this is the problem that comes from locking up in the house. I follow me into the mountain to catch the mountain rats in winter, and I won't have this problem!"
Both girls laughed when they heard this.
"Does the young lady still catch mountain rats in the mountains?"
Wu Xinan responded,
"What is a mountain rat? Catch fish, snakes, foxes, rabbits, birds... Anyone who can cut his mouth and skin, will not do anything without taking action!"
The two girls also had memories on their faces when they heard this.
"We were at home when we were young, and our brothers often went out together, and sometimes they brought back some birds, wild rats, etc. Although there were a few, not enough for the whole family to eat, they could still get sucked in oil..."
Unfortunately, the drought came later and the family could not pay the government's taxes, so their parents sold their children...
Speaking of childhood, Zhiniao couldn't help but blush his eyes.
"I am the youngest in the family, and my daughter is not as good as my son, so I sold me..."
Du Juan sighed aside,
"You are the youngest in the family, but I am the third child. The eldest brother in front of me wants to get married, so he sold me to make up the money... I don't know how they are now. Did my eldest brother get married and have children?"
It is also common for poor families to sell their children. Instead of waiting to starve to death at home, it is better to sell them out. Although they are inferior, they can always eat and wear well in wealthy families. When they meet a good family, the owner will also assign a marriage and have a settlement in the future. It is better than being sold to the pickled place for the kid.
Wu Xinan had seen a lot of these things when he was in Runing Mansion before. Many daughters in the village, who were well-faced, would be sold to people by their parents, and sent to various places as slaves and maids, or fell into chaos. From then on, relatives in their hometown were rarely seen again.
Wu Xinan responded with a sneer.
"As soon as they sold you, they had broken off their affection, what are you thinking about? Could it be that they want to go back and be sold again?"
Du Juan lowered her head and said nothing, but Zhiniao responded,
"After all, they have a difficult life, so they came up with this bad plan..."
Wu Xinan responded,
"Whether they are difficult or smooth, they will always sell you. In the future, life and death will be settled. You have used your body to repay their nurturing kindness. In the future, you should think about yourself and live for yourself. What's the use of thinking about them?"
Not all the relatives in this world love each other. They don’t eat their children if they poison them. However, even if they get poisoned, they can even chew on their own. How can they care about their relatives?
She had the first experience before. She was heartbroken, so she took family affection indifferently. She was a person with a clear personality of love and hatred. She couldn't bear to see this kid being sticky and being cowardly and angry.
"You are willing to do so, and you deserve it if you are sold as a pig!"
Just like myself, the mistake is that my heart is not cruel enough. If I had taken advantage of the dark moon and wind, I would have to take advantage of the fact that I would have killed all the stepmother and those little boys, so how could I have died in vain?
Du Juan and Zhiniao heard the eldest lady's words and felt very resentful. They thought they had hatred for their ten years of alienation at home, but they didn't dare to take on this topic. One turned around to carry water, and the other went out to get clean clothes and didn't dare to take on this topic.
After serving Wu Xin'an to wash his body, the two changed into clean clothes. Then they went upstairs and sat in front of the dressing table. Du Juan took a small copper incense furnace and wanted to dry the lady's hair.
Wu Xinan waved his hand and refused,
"With this kind of weather, wouldn't it be even hotter to use this thing? I don't like the fragrant stuff. I just wipe it with a veil and wait for the wind to dry it!"
The two girls hesitated a little and looked at each other. Guan’s mother, who was beside her, quickly took out the handkerchief and wiped Wu Xin'an’s head, while coaxing her,
"Didn't the young lady like this fragrance before? What kind of flowers and grass in the mountains, you bring them home... Now this is the best dragon scale fragrance at home, and it costs one tael of silver for a piece of your little finger!"
Although Guan's mother was a servant and had been in the mountain village for ten years, she was a servant of the official family in the capital. She also saw a lot of worldly things at the feet of the emperor. She knew that this was a good thing when she smelled the fragrance. This kind of words coaxed Wu Xin's annoyance.
"Miss smelled it. This fragrance is strong. Use it to smoke your hair. The hair is fragrant and soft. Even if you sweat, you won't lose your fragrance..."
Guan’s mother talked about the benefits, but when she came to Wu Xin'an, she shook her head repeatedly.
"No, just let it do this..."
Everyone had no choice but to rely on her and let her go to the back hall with such disheveled hair.
She came to the back hall with her long black hair, and saw the old lady Fu,
"grandmother!"
Wu Xinan greeted her grandmother according to the rules. When Fu saw her like this, he immediately frowned.
"How come you have to be unfit?"
Wu Xinan looked down at the newly changed tulle dress on her body, and tightened her belt again. Then she asked in confusion.
"Grandmother, where is the granddaughter's appearance unfit?"
Fu raised his hand and pointed at her hair.
"What kind of dewy hair is like?"
Wu Xinan said suddenly with a smile,
"Grandma doesn't have to be upset. This is the hair that I just washed has not been dry yet. Mother Guan said that if it is not dry and moisture accumulates, it will cause headaches in the future. When the granddaughter's hair is dry, it will naturally tie up..."
Fu's airway,
"Will you let the girls dry it for you?"
Wu Xinan shook his head and said,
"The granddaughter doesn't like it!"
"You don't like it!"
Fu rolled his eyes when he heard this.
It turns out that it is a wild girl who is raised in the village outside. Every girl says what she likes or doesn’t like. Everyone talks about the rules and follows the rules. When is it your turn to like or not?
Everyone’s ladies should smile without showing their teeth, not shake their skirts, and what kind of hair they disheveled!
The brows were frowning, and the corners of his mouth were about to speak to teach his eldest granddaughter a lesson, but he saw Wu Hongwen and Xiao Cheng step in together. Wu Hongwen held the youngest daughter Wu Youzhen, while the two eldest daughters stretched out their hands on the corner of his robe, and Wu Xianrong and Wu Huaide each held Xiao Cheng's left and right hands. The family smiled so well, standing in front of the door with Lele, showing the love of father and mother, the children were cute and silly, and the whole family looked happy.
If Wu Xinan was still there, who had not been favored by his parents for ten years, and who was sensitive and fragile, saw this scene, his eyes would be about to turn red immediately.
But now I saw Wu Xin'an, who was killed by my own father and stepmother, naturally I felt sad at all. My eyelids were turned over and I wanted to come up to salute, so Xiao Cheng said first.
"It turns out that An An has been here long ago. I have just sent the girl around me to invite her!"
Wu Xinan responded with a smile,
"That's right at home. If you don't want to invite me, I'll come over soon!"
Wu Hongwen stepped in and asked with a smile,
"An An, are you still satisfied with the yard?"
Wu Xinan stepped forward and said with a smile,
"Thank you for your concern, my daughter likes that yard very much..."
Wu Hongwen came up to caress his daughter's slightly wet hair and said,
"The place at home is small, and only the yard is empty, so I have to feel wronged you!"
