Chapter 542 Sir, Please Stay (4)
After returning to the room, Gu Yuxi felt that the eldest wife was really poor. The eldest lady said that she was frugal, but in fact she had no money.
Governor Deng was also frugal. His youngest son was not very popular because he spent money lavishly, but his eldest son was the same as him, which made him take better care of him.
There is no need to talk about the secrets in the house. The eldest wife spends dozens of taels of money a month, and she has to do a lot of work alone. I wonder how Nanny Cui did it in the past.
"I have to serve tea and water, protect my master...Xiao Ke, this is the life of a maid."
"Sister Xi, just bear with it and it will pass. After all, this is the easiest way to find the mission target."
"Without keywords, I can't find anything. Next time I won't choose tasks in this category."
Gu Yuxi lay dead on the bed, then entered the space to take out his old medical notes and look at them, and finally went to visit the treasure pavilion...
Early the next morning, Gu Yuxi knocked on the door and brought a basin of water for Deng Moci to wash.
"Miss, it's time to wash up. You're starting to learn to read this morning, so you can't be late."
Deng Moci got up. She didn’t want to learn these things. She was scolded by her father last night, so she had to go today.
Seeing that there was another person in the room, Gu Yuxi had a blue light on her head, which was the same color as Aunt Cui and the others. Her eyes lit up and she said, "You're awake! Mother was full of praise for you yesterday."
"Miss, Xiaoxi will take care of your daily life from now on. It's time to wash up now."
"I am here, Aunt Cui, go get me something to eat."
Deng Moci became interested, but was stumped after washing up. She seemed not to know how to put on clothes.
"Miss, what are you going to wear today?"
"Something fresh, not too red."
"How about this one?" Gu Yuxi held the light green gauze skirt and matched it with those shoes. Deng Moci nodded repeatedly.
"This good-looking."
After changing clothes, Gu Yuxi began to comb Deng Moci's hair. She tied her hair into a playful and refreshing style and put on silk flowers. She thought of it as a practice for a chance to become a hairdresser.
She was a maid, and her dress was simple, with two ponytails and no accessories.
"Xiao Xi, you have good skills."
"Miss, you are too kind. I still need to go and pay my respects to the ladies. Please don't waste time."
Just after she finished speaking, Nanny Cui came over with the porridge. Gu Yuxi began to make the bed. Later she would take her clothes to the laundry to be washed by the servants.
At the hour of Mao, Deng Moci went to pay her respects to her mother and father, and then went to school, because her father had told her yesterday to start learning to read and write from today on, and now she didn't even have the morning free.
When they arrived at the academy, the children of the Deng family looked at Deng Moci who came in. She had offended the female teacher yesterday, so she came in time today.
"Xiao Xi, help me put my things away."
"Miss, you must study hard and don't sleep." Gu Yuxi put the four treasures of the study in order and then retreated to the maid area.
"I know, I know."
"Today we will start with the word 'benevolence'..."
The servants here were not idle either. The maids were holding needles and threads, mending their masters' clothes, or making shoes. When they saw Gu Yuxi coming in, they all avoided him.
"This is the eldest lady's personal maid, Xiaoxi. Yesterday I saw Aunt Cui taking her to look for a place."
"Sister, you are so skillful. No wonder Aunt Mei praises you so much."
"Just some trinkets."
Gu Yuxi found an empty place to sit down, opened his bag, and took out the jacket he was going to make for Deng Moci. The personal maid looked relaxed, but was actually very tired.
She was just a little maid, she only embroidered simple patterns, and then they needed to be made into clothes.
"There's no more toilet chips left. Go find some."
"Yes."
Gu Yuxi paused. Now these people use toilet paper to pay for toilet paper. She will not have to serve them... No! This toilet paper must be available.
There is a lot of dead grass in the space, maybe you can try a small iron pot.
"I accidentally got hurt last time. Who can make toilet paper?"
"It's too expensive. Most people can't afford paper."
Gu Yuxi looked uninterested at the moment, and her slender fingers moved quickly towards the embroidery template in front of her like a gust of wind.
Seeing this, the people on the side could not help but stare in amazement, thinking to themselves: Is this maid crazy? The masters' things are all valuable, and wasting them like this is simply a waste of resources!
"Look at this person, she looks exactly like her silly master." Someone muttered this in the crowd.
Hearing this, Gu Yuxi suddenly raised his head and swept his sharp eyes over like a knife, and shouted in a deep voice: "If you have the guts, tell me again, who is the fool?"
The man who had just spoken could not help but shrink his neck after being glared at by her, but he still refused to show weakness: "Humph, look at her ferocious appearance, we are not afraid of her!"
"That's right. The first wife's family is already very poor, and even these maids and old women look shabby as well." Someone else echoed.
Hearing this, Gu Yuxi did not get angry but laughed instead. However, there was an elusive chill in that smile.
"Your master is a concubine's daughter, but my lady is the eldest daughter of the governor's family. You said that the first wife is shabby. I'm afraid you are speaking ill of the governor, right?"
When the head of the mansion was mentioned, the others immediately stopped laughing. If others heard it, not only would they be blamed, but even their masters would be branded as disloyal and unfilial.
"Who said that? Shut up!"
"That's right. There are too many people with bad mouths. Be careful not to get a crooked mouth." Gu Yuxi said sarcastically. The hatred was established.
A fifteen-year-old girl said to the maids, "Why are you making so much noise? This is a school, a quiet place for everyone to learn knowledge, not a place for you to quarrel. If you don't restrain yourself, be careful that the master will find out and sell you all out!"
Everyone fell silent, and Gu Yuxi was thinking about how to make straw paper, so he decided to go to the horse feed farm.
At the time of Si, the teacher finished his lecture. A strong girl wanted to bump into Gu Yuxi, but she couldn't and she lost her balance and fell to the side.
"Ouch!"
"I didn't expect a maid could be so fat. I hope your master doesn't treat you harshly. You can hardly walk steadily."
Someone couldn't help laughing and said, "This is someone from Aunt Mei's side. Aunt Mei has been favored in recent years, and even her maids have become stronger."
"Bitch, you dare to laugh at me, be careful of me..."
"A slave must do his duty as a slave and not bring shame to the master."
When Gu Yuxi walked over, she saw Deng Moci's eyes were red and there were some black ink marks on her face. She was looking at her aggrievedly.
