Hongyun did not leave Wanqing in her yard, but just gave instructions to Xiaoxia and the others.
"Yes, madam. The ginger soup has been boiled. You can drink it when you get home. The hot water slave has also been boiled. You can drink the ginger soup after you finish it."
"Very good, Wan Qing, follow the girls quickly."
Wan Qing immediately followed Xiao Xia back to her yard. Sure enough, hot ginger soup was delivered to her as soon as she arrived. She drank a large bowl and hot water was delivered. The temperature was high, and she soaked in it.
It was so comfortable that she almost moaned.
"Xiao Xia." Wan Qing was lying in the big wooden barrel, even her arms were soaked in it, and only her little head was exposed.
Disaster arises (2)
"Miss, what are your orders?" Xiaoxia was waiting behind the screen. When Wan Qing called her, she immediately walked out, but she still stayed far away, not close. Wan Qing was bathing and changing clothes, and she didn't like people.
She knows the rules of waiting on the sidelines.
"Who are all the people coming to Third Uncle's place?"
"Two aunts, and two young ladies."
"Do you know why they came?" Those four people are all women with little status in the third house. Their daughters are not taken seriously. As long as the two aunts have the third wife around, they will never have a good life.
However, she didn't understand why they were here to celebrate the New Year. Even if the third lady bullied them, they should never come to the big house.
"I heard from the girl in front of the two young ladies that the third master seemed to be gambling outside and lost."
"Isn't it common for Third Uncle to lose money in gambling? It's worth running here. Besides, if there's something going on, isn't there the old lady?" Wan Qing's voice was soft and dreamy, but her mind kept spinning.
"I heard that the old lady has been taking the young master over there to sell a shop since this morning."
Wan Qing opened her eyes slightly, then closed them again. The old man had a fiery temper, but he was also tough. He presided over the division of the family and gave all the shops to Xiao Tongcai. Now that Xiao Tongcai is in trouble, even if Xiao Tongwen is his son, he
I couldn't help but ask for help.
"It seems that Third Uncle lost a lot of money!"
"No..." Xiao Xia responded, hesitated, and then said: "I heard that it seems that the third master scraped away the gold and silver in the shop overnight and ran away. The old lady fainted at that time."
Wan Qing opened her eyes fiercely. This time, she was really surprised. "How much did Third Uncle lose?" Wasn't it said that he was a good gambler? He would never default on his money after losing money.
However, Wan Qing frowned again, does a gambler have character? Absolutely not, it’s just that he didn’t lose much in the past, and his father was there to wipe his ass, so he had character.
This time, he must have lost too much, and there was no one to clean up the mess, so he simply ran away.
The old man probably couldn't deal with the rotten paralytic left behind. In the end, it would have to fall on her father. Because Xiao Tongwen was really a soft-hearted person.
Disaster arises (3)
"This servant doesn't know this. Those girls are just serving a few young ladies. I don't know much about the things ahead." Xiao Xia lowered her head.
Wan Qing waved her hand, then hesitated, "Find a clever girl in our courtyard and go and have a look at those aunts."
"Yes." Xiao Xia was blessed, turned around and left to make her own arrangements. Wan Qing soaked in the water for a while, then got up, wrapped herself in a big cloth, and then lay directly on the bed without putting on any clothes. She covered herself with a quilt first.
Really covered.
It was really cold and she had no interest in getting sick.
"Who is outside?" Wan Qing covered herself on the bed for a while, but still felt a little cold, so she couldn't help shouting.
"Miss Hui, I'm a slave."
As soon as she heard the voice, Wan Qing immediately recognized who it was and couldn't help but shout again: "Mo Mo, get me another bowl of ginger soup. Also, ask the kitchenette to bring dinner in early. I want to go to bed early."
"Yes, slave girl, go right away."
"Let someone come in first and remove the water."
"Yes." Then, there was a sound of the door opening, and two women came in and moved out all the wooden buckets and hot water used for bathing in the house.
After a while, the girl at Mo Mo came in with ginger soup, and behind her there were two girls carrying dinner, a bowl of porridge, a plate of steamed buns, two plates of side dishes, and a bowl of soup.
It is a very strange habit. No matter morning, noon or evening, there is always a bowl of soup on the Xiao family's dinner table. Wan Qing doesn't know if this is a habit of rich families in this world. Anyway, when she was in a small village, she had never seen anyone with this kind of soup.
accustomed.
He put on the clothes to keep warm under the quilt and wrapped himself in a thick short coat. He didn't get up. He ate the food first and drank the ginger soup.
"Withdraw, I'll take a nap first. After you finish cleaning up, you can go to sleep."
"Yes." Mo Mo responded.
"Tomorrow morning, don't disturb me with anything. If anything happens, go to Mrs. Qiantou's place and report back to Lin."
"As commanded."
Wan Qing waved her hand and asked Mo Mo to leave. Then she fell asleep again, holding the quilt.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for her to break out into a sweat. She was secretly grateful that the two bowls of ginger soup she drank before had taken out all the cold air. Otherwise, if it had stayed in her body, a severe cold would have been impossible to escape.
That night, Wan Qing slept very deeply, but she still woke up on time before dawn.
