"Do you know how to brew wine?" On the way back to the residence, Bai Jing suddenly asked me about it. Qi Mo returned to his own residence and met with his good friend who was taken away. Bai Jing and I were the only ones left to return.
"A little, but I've only ever made wine before." I honestly replied, "But the theory is almost the same." I don't care.
"Wine." Bai Jing asked curiously.
"Yeah, I learned it when we were doing experiments in biology class." When I think back to that experiment, I think that we ate a lot of the grapes that were stolen. At that time, we thought that it was really fun, but in the end, the mice were still able to make it, and the taste was also pretty good. When I went back home, I studied it with dad, so the winemaking technique came out.
"Your words are always strange, just like yours." Bai Jing chuckled.
"Really? If you were to come to our place, we would also find it strange." I curled my lips.
"Do you want to go home?"
"I do, even in my dreams I want to go back." I nod my head vigorously. God knows how much I miss watching TV and playing games.
"We're here." I excitedly said as I looked at the entrance of the mansion. When I turned around, I saw Bai Jing looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated. He must have wanted to say something just now but was interrupted by me.
"What are you going to say?" I asked him.
"Nothing." Bai Jing had returned to normal.
"Alright, I'll go back first then. Once I've brewed the wine, I'll definitely be the first to give it to you." I patted him on the shoulder, smiled, and headed back to the yard.
As expected, when I arrived, the items had already been delivered. A few maidservants were looking around.
"Miss, you're back." Xia Shui was the first to notice me, and said excitedly.
"Miss, what are you buying these things for?" Cui Zhu looked at me curiously.
"Brewing wine." I waved my hand.
"Miss knows how to make wine." The worship in Cui Zhu's eyes was about to spill out.
"What doesn't your Miss know?" I said proudly.
"But why are there grapes?" Xia Shui looked at me with a grape in her hand.
"To make wine, of course." I explained. " When the brewing is done, I'll give you guys a few sips. " I shouted.
"Grapes can also be used to brew wine." Xia Shui expressed her doubt.
"Of course, when has your young miss ever lied to you?" I stepped forward and touched his head, smiling.
"Miss always catches people off guard." Yingchun was standing to one side.
I directed them to wash the containers and the grapes according to the previous method. Without a juicer, I could only squeeze the juice myself. While I did that, I tried to figure out how I could make a simple juicer.
Just when we were tired and were about to collapse to the ground, everything was done. I played the song and sealed the wine jar before putting it away properly. What's next is to wait.
"Alright, I've been tired all day. I want to take a bath." I smelled my own sweat.
Cui Zhu, Ying Chun and Hong'er quickly go and prepare it for me while Xia Shui remains by my side.
Miss, I've noticed that Hong'er is indeed a little strange. When we were chatting, she asked about her family, and only after hesitating for a long time did she say that she was an orphan without anyone to rely on and that she was roaming everywhere. It was only a few days ago that she was sold to the Prince's Mansion. Xia Shui and I whispered in the room.
"But if she isn't someone from the mansion, and the mansion is so tight, it would be impossible for an outsider to impersonate her. However, from what I see, the butler and Bai Jing are completely normal." I couldn't figure it out.
"Miss, speaking of the prince, I remember. Today, when you were preparing to roast the fish for the princes, Hong'er seemed to have met the prince on the way, and the prince even spoke a few words to her, but I was too far away to clearly hear it. At that time, I only thought that the prince was asking about the fish, so I didn't pay any attention to it."
"Could it be that this Hong'er is Bai Jing's person? Why did Bai Jing want her to come to my side? She's monitoring me, but from the looks of it, she has already given up doubting me. This Hong'er's skills aren't bad, she's here to protect me." I had a flash of inspiration as I said happily.
"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Xia Shui had a helpless look on her face.
"Forget about it. He wouldn't be that kind. However, looking at it now, Hong'er is not a danger to us. If she is someone from Bai Jing, I can rest assured." I looked at Xia Shui, "Continue to watch her closely. "In the future, if there's anything you need to say, say it again. As long as she doesn't let me down, I can still happily get along with her." I took out the replaced clothes that Xia Shui had taken out and touched it.
"Miss, the water is ready." It was Cui Zhu's voice outside the door.
Xia Shui and I will go out together. Xia Shui helped me test the temperature of the water, nodded, showing that it was just right.
"Alright, you guys can leave. I don't like to be watched while I take a bath. I'm not feeling well." I sent them away.
"Miss, don't you need us to serve you? Can you do it by yourself?" Cui Zhu asked without giving up.
"It's just a bath. You can't continue bathing until you see me." I pushed Tsui Bamboo out.
Finally, I cleaned up and locked the door. Just as I was about to return to the tub, I took off my clothes and began to bathe.
After soaking in the bath, I felt my whole body go limp, and my eyelids became heavier and heavier. I directly fell asleep in the bath barrel. I was awakened by the heart-wrenching screams of several girls coming from outside the house.
"Miss, open the door, please. Don't scare me, Miss."
"Miss, come out quickly, Miss."
"Miss. Are you alright? "
The few of them were talking at the same time and scared me so much that I quickly climbed out of the tub. My feet were numb and I couldn't even walk fast anymore. I walked in a circle before I opened the door.
The moment I opened the door, the four of them jumped on top of me. I couldn't even balance my weight properly and was knocked to the ground. "Aiyo, my old waist." I lay on the ground, clutching my waist, and cried out.
"Ah, miss." A few screams of pain rang out like pigs being slaughtered before they managed to help me up.
"Miss, are you alright? You scared us to death. If you don't come out soon, we'll have to call for help." Xia Shui pulled my hand, and said with a look of lingering fear.
"I was just taking a bath. It's too comfortable. If I fell asleep, what could happen? If you guys had called for someone, you would have destroyed me, your young miss." I poked Xia Shui's forehead.
"Aren't we afraid that something might happen? It's because I thought of the detrimental effect on young miss' reputation that I didn't call for anyone. " Xia Shui said in a spoiled manner.
"Alright, pack up. It's so comfortable to take a bath. I'm going to bed." I stretched.
Xia Shui helped me make the bed, while the others helped me change out of the shower water, "It's better if you sleep with me." I looked at Xia Shui with anticipation.
"No, there's someone else in the yard now. We can't be together anymore." Xia Shui rejected him.
"No, I'm afraid." I insist.
"We will take turns keeping watch at night. Miss, do not be afraid." Xia Shui comforted me.
"The vigil is too exaggerated. Can you guys bear it?" I said worriedly.
"It's alright. This was our responsibility in the first place. In the past, it was because we did not have enough manpower. Now that we have four people, a few hours each will be enough." Xia Shui said indifferently.
