Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

The ground was covered with thick snow, and it looked like a blanket of white. She was asked to wash her coat in such a cold weather before eating. Who wouldn't be furious?

Tao Jiuxi squatted by the well, mumbling to himself like a mantra: "What a stupid rule! You can only work if you're full! Why don't you give me food?"

She squatted down dejectedly. In front of her was a large wooden basin, in which Shen Zhiyi's cloak lay quietly.

Beside her stood a maid, her eyes fixed on Tao Jiuxi. The maid was following orders and could only watch from the side and was absolutely not allowed to touch Shen Zhiyi's clothes.

"How can I wash this?" Tao Jiuxi couldn't help but mutter again.

He sighed for a long time.

Finally, she reached out helplessly and threw the bucket into the well.

The well was deep and fortunately not frozen.

Tao Jiuxi held the windlass on the well and turned it with effort, and the windlass made a creaking sound.

She carried several buckets of water, panting with exhaustion, before finally soaking the cloak. The black cloak was difficult to see where the dirt was, so she opened her eyes wide and searched carefully, but couldn't find where her snot was.

There was no other way, she could only clean while cursing and venting her dissatisfaction, the sound of which was particularly clear in the silent yard.

Time passed quietly without her noticing, and by the time she finished cleaning, it was already noon.

"Cousin, you have worked hard." The maid looked at the exhausted Tao Jiuxi and said softly. It was very cold for her to stand there. The cousin washed slowly and she was anxious watching.

Tao Jiuxi held her waist with both hands and slowly stood up, a pained expression on her face. She had been squatting to wash clothes and wringing them out with great effort all morning, and she was really exhausted.

"I'm not feeling tired. It's the clothes that are feeling tired. They were ravaged by me." Tao Jiuxi's voice was a little hoarse and tired.

"I will help the young lady to go to the flower hall for dinner."

"I'm too tired to eat. Take me back to Yayiju first. I need to lie down for a while." Tao Jiuxi just wanted to have a good rest at this moment.

When Tao Jiuxi returned to Yayi Residence, Tao Qingwan was already waiting for her anxiously in the yard.

Tao Qingwan was still holding the hidden cakes in her hand, which were wrapped tightly. Tao Qingwan was worried about her sister and could not eat a single bite of food. She just took a few cakes and brought them back quietly.

"Eat quickly." Tao Qingwan poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Tao Jiuxi, her eyes full of tenderness.

The cup of hot tea was emitting wisps of steam.

Tao Jiuxi swallowed a piece of cake whole and drank hot tea.

The hot tea flowed down her throat and warmed her whole body.

"Eldest sister, we have finally settled down." Tao Jiuxi said with emotion, a hint of relief in his eyes.

After going through so many twists and turns, I finally have a temporary place to stay.

"But you have to wash clothes for your cousin in the future. When I see him again, I will tell him that we will wash clothes for him together." Tao Qingwan gently touched Tao Jiuxi's head.

"No need, just washing clothes. My cousin can't have to wash a cloak every day, and the Chinese New Year is in two months. After the spring, clothes become thinner and are easy to wash." Tao Jiuxi comforted Tao Qingwan.

Although her original identity was a younger sister, Tao Jiuxi was already 23 years old before she traveled through time. In addition, Tao Qingwan had a gentle personality, so Tao Jiuxi always felt that she was older.

Suddenly, Tao Jiuxi glanced at the door and said seriously, "Elder sister."

"What's wrong?" Tao Qingwan was slightly stunned, her face full of confusion.

"I have something to tell you seriously." Tao Jiuxi's expression was very serious. She frowned slightly, and her eyes revealed seriousness.

"You said it, why are you so serious?"

"Look at my cousin, isn't he very handsome?" Tao Jiuxi said, but there was no admiration in his eyes.

When Tao Qingwan heard this, a blush suddenly appeared on her face, as charming as the sunset in the sky.

She lowered her head, not daring to look into Tao Jiuxi's eyes.

"What's wrong with you, elder sister? Why are you still blushing? Have you forgotten what I told you?" Tao Jiuxi was a little anxious and put down the cup in his hand heavily with a "bang".

The sound was particularly loud in the quiet room.

"I'm......"

"I've told you, cousins ​​are close relatives. What can't close relatives do?" Tao Jiuxi raised her voice, her eyes full of anxiety.

When Tao Qingwan heard this, the shyness on her face became more obvious, and her ears turned red.

She said with a somewhat embarrassed voice: "We can't get married."

"Just remember it. What's with that expression on your face? Don't blush, elder sister." Tao Jiuxi frowned and looked at Tao Qingwan with dissatisfaction.

"It's so embarrassing when you talk about these things..." Tao Qingwan's voice became smaller and smaller, and she lowered her head even lower.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Didn't you listen to me? What do you think about your cousin?" Tao Jiuxi widened his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Tao Qingwan's thoughts.

Tao Qingwan waved her hands to indicate that she had no such idea.

"I didn't. My cousin and I didn't know each other before, and we just met today. You don't have to worry, sister." Tao Qingwan's voice was soft, with a hint of firmness.

"That's good."

When Tao Jiuxi met Shen Zhiyi yesterday, he wanted to remind Tao Qingwan again, but fortunately, Tao Qingwan didn't mean to do so.

"So what kind do you like?" Tao Jiuxi asked while eating pastries. Her mouth was full and her words were a little unclear.

"I..." Tao Qingwan hesitated to speak.

"Go ahead. It's okay, just the two of us."

"The kind of person I admire is a gentle and refined person who is well-read and talented." Tao Qingwan's voice was soft, with a hint of shyness.

"So you like the scholar type. It's okay, as long as you don't like close relatives like cousins, brothers, and cousins, you can like whoever you want."

Tao Jiuxi was not at all shy when talking about these things, but Tao Qingwan had already blushed.

"What about you?"

"I only like my eldest sister." Tao Jiuxi smiled sweetly and coaxed Tao Qingwan.

Tao Qingwan smiled helplessly. Her sister was so sweet when she was in a good mood.

When I'm in a bad mood, I just don't care.

"However, Jiuxi, you and your cousin don't have the kind of 'blood' relationship you said, right?" Tao Qingwan looked at Tao Jiuxi with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"No!! He's not my type either."

The look of Shen Zhiyi disdaining her was still fresh in her mind. Tao Jiuxi would never be so foolish as to like him.
