A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!
Chapter 66 Sports Field
Xiao Yuan was intelligent from a young age and learned everything very quickly. Whether it was studying literature, practicing martial arts, or handling cases, he was always one of the best in his field.
But when it comes to matters of the heart, he's a complete novice, and his series of questionable actions are so bad that even Xiaodouzi and Qiyue can see how incompetent he is.
Unfortunately, Chief Supervisor Xiao was always a man of his word, accumulating authority and being cautious. Even though he had figured it out, no one around him dared to give him advice.
A promise may not be rewarded, but a mistake will certainly be punished; the lives of working people are also precious.
When faced with a dictatorial boss with a bad temper, subordinates are all eager to avoid trouble rather than seek merit.
Xiao Yuan can be quite stubborn at times; even when he's sulking, he still feels that his strategy is correct.
Jiang Xinyu might not be in a hurry because she hasn't had enough time to let things cool down. She'll start to panic once she realizes that the other person is really ignoring her.
That's right, that's it.
Drying millet takes more than a day. He's staying at the East Depot tomorrow and won't be coming back. I bet this woman will be anxious.
Xiao Yuan suppressed his anger and went to sleep. In his dreams, he saw Jiang Xinyu's indifferent attitude towards him, saying that she didn't care about him at all and that she was happy as long as she had mahjong to play.
Xiao Douzi, who got up early to serve her master's washing up, almost screamed in fright when she entered the door. Had their master gone to dig up a grave in the middle of the night? The resentment he exuded looked heavier than a ghost.
After washing up, Xiao Yuan went to the yard to practice his boxing. He punched faster and faster, making a whooshing sound as he punched. In the end, he even broke the wooden training post with a single punch.
He managed to vent his resentment a bit, but that wasn't enough. Before leaving, Xiao Yuan actually instructed the steward to discipline the maids in the courtyard properly.
Let them remember the difference between master and servant; anyone who dares to play cards with the madam again will be punished with a beating.
No one dared to disobey the supervisor's orders.
Before Jiang Xinyu even got out of bed, all the maids in the mansion had received orders. It wasn't until she finished breakfast and wanted to play a few rounds of cards that she discovered she had no partners left.
The steward, with a forced smile, repeatedly begged for mercy, saying that they dared not disobey the orders of the Grand Eunuch and pleaded with the Madam to have mercy on them, the servants.
Jiang Xinyu was practically going crazy. "So he's the master and I'm not? How come this bastard has so much free time?"
I provoked him by playing two hands of cards.
The butler rubbed his hands awkwardly. "The supervisor didn't say you couldn't play."
Jiang Xinyu chuckled, “Right, it didn’t say I couldn’t play but that others couldn’t play with me.”
What can I do by myself? Stack up like a human pyramid?
Seeing the steward's troubled expression and the maids' eagerness to avoid him, Jiang Xinyu couldn't say anything.
After all, they were all servants of the Supervisor's Mansion. In this era, their lives and fortunes were in Xiao Yuan's hands. She couldn't possibly disregard their lives just to spite Xiao Yuan.
Forget it, it's not like mahjong is the only thing you can play.
So what if she's alone? She's a big girl now and she'll find her own fun.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu looked at the butler again.
"He only said that the maids shouldn't play with me, so can I play something else?"
The butler quickly smiled ingratiatingly, "The Grand Eunuch didn't mention this, Madam, you mean..."
Jiang Xinyu took a deep breath and said, "Go and get me two sturdy pieces of wood, each about the thickness of a thigh, and bury them ten feet apart in the ground."
Remember to bury it firmly, and then find a smooth wooden stick about the thickness of an egg and insert it horizontally between the two round logs.
You know what I mean, right? That's it..."
Jiang Xinyu gestured as she spoke, "That's how it is, make the spacing bigger and add more of them."
The butler asked in confusion, "Does Madam want to make a swing set?"
"Yes, yes, but shorter than a swing set. Make a few similar ones and then make two that are further apart."
In the distance, there are two cloth bags filled with sand hanging between them. The bags should be made one large and one small to be sturdy.
Also, get a few more stones with handles, the kind that are easy to pick up and lift.
The butler thought carefully about Jiang Xinyu's request and suddenly realized what was going on.
"Madam, you mean stone locks, the kind used for martial arts training?"
Jiang Xinyu suddenly remembered that sports equipment existed in this era, and immediately gave the butler a thumbs-up in praise.
"I didn't expect you to be so helpful. Besides the things I mentioned, could you also bring me some of the training equipment?"
The butler looked at the lady with suspicion, "Are you going to practice martial arts?"
Please forgive my bluntness, but I dare not get you any knives or guns; I couldn't bear the responsibility if you were injured.
Jiang Xinyu patted the butler on the shoulder in a familiar manner.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. It's just some exercise stuff."
"I don't know martial arts, and I'm afraid I'll cut myself if I hold a knife."
The old butler also breathed a sigh of relief.
He just doesn't need weapons, otherwise he can't bear the responsibility if his wife gets even the slightest injury.
A swing set shouldn't be a taboo, and anything that helps with exercise is fine, since I doubt my wife could lift it with her small frame anyway.
Just leave it there to look at.
Although feudal society lacked the convenient machinery of modern society, it had a large population, especially wealthy and powerful families, making it quite efficient to accomplish things.
The housekeeper selected an open space not far from Jiang Xinyu's courtyard, and soon a simple sports field gradually took shape.
Jiang Xinyu touched the smooth and delicate rosewood rod and sighed with emotion. The life of the privileged class is indeed wonderful.
In modern times, this piece of sandalwood would be worth a villa, but here she can get it in no time.
Not only is it delicate and smooth, but it also has a light fragrance. The key is that it is polished so finely that it is simply irresistible.
Even while the sports field was under construction, she didn't rest. She drew several modern and common Chinese-style exercise clothes and asked the embroiderers to make them.
No woman doesn't love pretty clothes, and Jiang Xinyu is no exception.
She enthusiastically had July accompany her to choose fabrics for half a day, and finally selected several that were lightweight, breathable, and sweat-absorbent.
Despite her suggestion to keep things simple, the embroiderer boldly proposed adding simple, subtle patterns to the collar and cuffs.
Jiang Xinyu was also tempted after seeing a few simple intertwined flower and grass patterns. Not only did she not object, she also patiently learned from the embroiderer.
The training ground needed to be compacted and the equipment polished, which wouldn't be quick. Jiang Xinyu spent the whole day with the embroiderer.
Jiang Xinyu was overjoyed to see that she could finally embroider something decent, and she even cut out a purse to try making one herself.
Unfortunately, she simply didn't have the talent for embroidery. Otherwise, if she had learned a few tricks of Suzhou embroidery in this era, she would have become a master embroidery artist if she returned to the present day.
Unfortunately, this thing was too difficult. It looked easy, but it was impossible to do. Jiang Xinyu gave up after being pricked a few times and just focused on working on the simplest floral patterns.
It's okay, it's not about knowing a hundred tricks, it's about mastering one trick.
So what if I can't become an embroidery master? I might not be able to go back anyway.
She should just learn one or two tricks, so that they can serve as her trademark when she travels the world.
I used to think that symbols like plum blossoms and bamboo leaves were cool when I watched movies. I imagined that when she traveled the world and robbed the rich to help the poor, she would leave behind a handkerchief embroidered with a trumpet flower.
Tsk tsk, that sounds pretty exciting.
Today was another day of low spirits for the Eastern Depot. Although Xiao Yuan did not intend to go back, he still sent someone to inquire about the Madam's condition.
He was furious when he learned that she had a bunch of incongruous shelves made, but his expression softened slightly when he heard that the lady spent her days learning embroidery from the embroiderer.
Did that girl finally sense the crisis and want to embroider a purse to please him?
Ha, this Grand Eunuch is not so easily pleased.
However, considering her sincerity, he might reluctantly wear the purse if it was well-made.
