Chapter 174 Taking a Bath
Zhuang took the female relatives to see the east house where they lived.
Jing Yongcheng and Grandpa Xiaobei looked around the low wall and said, "Wait until everything is settled. Find some craftsmen to raise the wall. Seal the front door of the east house, and then the back door will not need to be locked. It will be easier to move between the two houses."
It is indeed not good to have two main entrances in one house. The old lady also agrees with the old man's opinion.
Others also had the same idea. Regardless of feng shui, it was really inconvenient and not very decent to divide one family into two houses.
Nanny Wang came in at the right moment and said, "Everyone is tired from the journey, please come inside and rest. The old lady and the other ladies have bathtubs in their rooms. We have just lit a charcoal basin, and the hot water has been heating on the fire since noon. The ladies will bring it over right away.
There are washrooms in the three courtyards on both sides of the house. Others can only bear with it and take turns to wash themselves, but it's a bit cold."
Jing Chunxi had taken a look inside when he first entered the courtyard. There was indeed a bathroom next to the patio in the Third Courtyard, but it was a bit small. If you moved too much while showering, you'd hit the wall. It would definitely be a bit cold to shower in there in this weather. If you didn't get dressed quickly, you'd probably get a runny nose.
But it is quite convenient to use in the summer. Now that the men's and women's houses are separated, men can take cold showers in the courtyard in the summer. For a girl like Xiaotuanzi, you can buy a bigger wooden tub for her to take a bath in the courtyard and play with water at the same time. I'm afraid she can play for half a day.
"Hey, hey, hey! It's great that we can do this. I'm afraid that if they can't buy a house, they will have to continue living in tents." At this time, the old concubine came out of the house in the east, and laughed when she heard what the nanny said.
No one helped them make arrangements in advance, so it was natural that they felt uneasy tonight. If they couldn't buy a suitable house, they would probably have to live in a tent for some time.
Si was quite satisfied with the two houses. Standing next to Jing Changning, she said smugly, "Even if they wanted to buy one, they wouldn't be able to buy a house as nice as ours."
But they no longer dared to hope for a small courtyard for the couple to live in like they did in Beijing. The hardships they had experienced along the way and the fickleness of the world had made them face reality.
Just from the village chief
I just walked around the village. The old village chief's house is quite large, but it doesn't look any better than their current one. Li Xian's house has a very small courtyard and only four or five rooms at most. From outside, I saw that they have three or four children, some of whom are of different ages. I have no idea how they live there.
"Okay, let's settle them down." Knowing that everyone was tired, the old lady gave an order and everyone was sent away.
Nanny Wang led the way to the west house, while Chuntao led the way to the east house.
In the front yard of the east house, as soon as I entered, Tang Shuang closed the gate from the inside. Since they said that only one main gate would be open, there was naturally no need to open this one.
There were two small rooms at the entrance. Chuntao said she had one and Tangshuang had another. Tangshuang lay down on the small bed in her room, obviously very satisfied, then immediately got up and ran out happily.
There are three main rooms. My eldest aunt lives in the east room, and my second aunt lives in the west room. Chuntao pointed to the room that was originally the main hall and said, "This room was originally the main hall, but Nanny Wang said that a family can only have one main hall, and it must be in the west house where the old general and his wife live. So this room is for my cousin Mingyue and my daughter to live together. If the two daughters feel crowded, one of them can live in the side room."
This was Jing Mingyue and Jing Chunxi's room. Jing Chunxi rushed in as soon as he heard about it. The main hall was larger than the east and west rooms. Now that all four doors were open, it was bright and the whole room could be seen at a glance.
The room was spacious, with two beds. The mosquito nets and bedding were new. Although they were just ordinary fine cotton, the blue and white patterned fabric felt fresh and comfortable. There was a brand new cabinet at either end of the bed. A coffee table and two stools were thoughtfully placed on the right side of the entrance, providing a place for anyone to sit.
As soon as Jing Chunxi entered, he wanted to jump onto the bed, but Chuntao immediately stopped him: "Miss, you should take a shower before going to bed. It's hard to dry the quilt in this weather."
After saying this, he seemed to feel offended and quickly stood up straight and said respectfully, "I'm sorry!"
Who knew that Jing Mingyue next to her would hug her all of a sudden, which scared Chuntao. Jing Mingyue said: "Let you think we are dirty, let you think we are dirty, and pass all the lice on your body to you." Then he giggled.
"Haha! I'm going to roll onto Chuntao's bed later, and see if she still dares to despise me." Tangshuang, carrying a bucket of hot water, joked to Chuntao as she walked in.
Chuntao smiled.
Frosting: "Hurry up and take a shower and go to bed. The old lady said you should all wake up before eating." It was still early, and after the meat meal last night and two pancakes at noon, he didn't feel hungry at all.
Chuntao also said, "We're having seafood tonight. Nanny Wang asked the guards to order two large baskets of seafood from the fishermen last night. I just checked, and they have fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish. The fishermen also raise sea ducks, which make delicious soup. They also bought a lot of sea duck eggs yesterday."
Jing Mingyue ran over and hugged Jing Chunxi again: "Cousin Xi, why do I feel a little happy just now? Grandma always said that you are blessed. It must be because you are here that we are so happy."
Jing Chunxi gave her a backhand hug, but only hugged her waist. This cousin had grown taller. She smiled: "Of course, who has such a blessing? You can sleep with me, your little lucky star. Just be happy."
Jing Mingyue pleaded: "Then let's sleep in the same bed later. It's too cold to sleep alone."
"Wow! Miss Cousin, are you used to sleeping in a large bunk bed? Now that the bed is too empty, is that why you can't sleep?"
Frosting joked while pouring water, and muttered: "It would be nice if the master could change into new clothes." She had just checked the cabinet in the room, and there was only one set of underwear in it.
These words suddenly sobered Jing Chunxi's overly excited heart. He quickly pushed Jing Mingyue away and said, "Wait for me." Then he ran out.
This made Chuntao jump up and down behind him, shouting, "Miss, if you don't wash yourself, the water will be cold soon."
Jing Chunxi: "Coming right up!"
Jing Chunxi ran to the back door and then around to the front yard of the west house, calling out from the courtyard: "Grandma, where are you?"
"Child, the water is hot, why don't you take a comfortable bath? Why are you running here?" The grandmother's comfortable voice came from the east room.
Si also responded from inside: "Grandma is taking a bath, is there anything wrong, Sister Xi?"
Jing Chunxi knew that his grandfather must have gone to the bathroom to take a bath, and his third aunt was scrubbing his grandmother's back, fulfilling her filial duty as a daughter-in-law. He quickly said, "Oh, it's okay, third aunt. There are new clothes for you on the bed. Remember to change into them later."
After saying that, she knocked on the door and entered her third uncle's west room, but she didn't see her third uncle. Without thinking twice, she moved out all the clothes of the whole family. However, this time she prepared two sets for each person instead of just one set. It was impossible that she didn't even have a change of clothes. She also needed two sets of shoes and socks, and she couldn't let her keep shuffling clothes all day long.
It was still the same fine cotton clothing for the servants, with a few more sets of the decent long gowns that originally belonged to the stewards, and the size was still suitable for the whole family.
In a small village like Yamen, no one would know that this style of clothing was worn by servants, and the fabric was also of excellent quality.
As for how the clothes came about, with Nanny Wang and Chuntao there first, and Uncle Zhou Wei and his group already in the vicinity, probably already settled in a house in the village, my grandparents and my third uncle had plenty of excuses and explanations.
Jing Chunxi only took clothes for herself, Jing Mingyue, and Tang Shuang, and let her grandmother and aunts divide the rest! Even dividing clothes among so many people would take a long time, and she didn't want to be so tired, as the person in charge of the household was still there.
She just wanted to take a shower, have a good sleep, eat a delicious seafood meal, and then start familiarizing herself with the surrounding environment tomorrow. Otherwise, it would be too unfair for her to be exiled this time, and it was hard to say whether she would come back in the future.
