The sixth Lord and the sixth Princess sat in the main position. The people below lined up face to face. Each two people had a small square table and knelt down to eat.
Up to now, ye Xiaoxian is not used to this way of eating. She just feels tired and flustered, but out of etiquette, she still wants to be upright and show a very natural appearance.
It's better to sit around a big table at Qian's house and eat comfortably.
Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan are husband and wife in their eyes, so they are assigned to the same table.
She was used to freedom at ordinary times. Now she knelt down for a while and felt her legs numb, so she couldn't help quietly changing her sitting position under her.
Xiao Baoshan is as stable as Mount Tai. When people don't pay attention, he quietly pulls out his mat and superimposes it on Ye Xiaoxian. With two cushions, ye Xiaoxian doesn't feel so tired.
After being more comfortable, she turned to look at xiaobaoshan. He was still stable and didn't feel any discomfort at all.
Ye Xiaoxian couldn't help thinking that luckily she wasn't born in a famous family, otherwise it would be more painful to kneel down like this every day.
But on second thought, ladies from famous families don't kneel like this every day. They are usually served, that is, when the whole family gets together, they need to kneel like this.
Just in a daze, Xiao Baoshan suddenly touched her.
She reacted and saw everyone looking at her.
She found that the sixth princess was holding a glass of wine and said with a smile, "what is Mrs. Xiao thinking? Was she too tired to travel yesterday?"
"No, No." Ye Xiaoxian was embarrassed: "sorry, just now..."
Inadvertently seeing a dish of fried silkworm chrysalis on the table, she immediately said: "just now I saw a dish of silkworm chrysalis on the table, I thought of some past events. This silkworm chrysalis has the flavor of hometown."
The sixth Princess wants to propose a toast to Ye Xiaoxian. Seeing ye Xiaoxian say so, The note said: "so it is. I miss my hometown when I see the dishes of my hometown. Also, after coming to Baoning city for so long, some people will miss their hometown and don't know when to go back. But no matter where we are, we have to live a good life. Mrs. Xiao, you have worked hard this year and you have made great contributions to the people of Baoning city. I toast you."
"It's not hard, it should be." Ye Xiaoxian also raised her glass and drank it up.
Then it was time for the sixth Lord to speak. Everyone was polite and enjoyed the meal.
……
With enough food and wine, the sixth Princess asked Ye Xiaoxian and them to live in the wing room of the palace. On the one hand, it was late, and on the other hand, they could save some room and board expenses.
The sixth princess also said that there are some old clothes in the house. They can tidy them up and take them back to the tribe for a share.
It's hard to be gracious. Besides, there are old clothes, so they stay.
Old clothes can be taken back and distributed to some difficult families in the tribe, so that they can survive this winter smoothly.
Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baozhu followed a mother of the sixth princess to get old clothes. In addition to old clothes, there were some shoes and hats. These were not broken, but the royal palace had regulations that they should be replaced regularly.
After all, it is the sixth Prince's residence. No matter how frugal it is, it can't be too shabby.
Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baozhu picked them up with Mammy and soon picked up a lot of them. They were originally good materials and were worn by the people in the house, but they were old and there were some small rags. Take them back and sew them.
Mammy also told them that they should not waste those they picked up and those that the sixth Prince's house would take out and send to the people at the city gate.
Ye Xiaoxian thought that she would be finished after picking up her clothes. But mammy said again, "by the way, the sixth princess said that Baozhu girl can sleep in the same room with her maidservant tonight. Mrs. Xiao and General Xiao will go to the wing room."
Ye Xiaoxian is a little confused.
"Won't Baozhu live in the wing room with us?"
Mammy smiled and said, "recently, some guests have come to the sixth princess's family. The wing rooms are almost full, so we can only pick up one room. Alas, you know, these six princess's houses can't compare with the big palaces and houses in the capital. The conditions here are so simple. There's no way. We can only grievance Miss Baozhu."
Xiao Baozhu was laughing in her heart. She hurriedly said, "don't be wronged. What's wrong? I'm alone anyway. I can sleep in a bed. Why are you picky?"
Ye Xiaoxian: "
She is now riding a tiger. It seems inappropriate to explain.
If the sixth Princess knew she didn't want to live in a room with xiaobaoshan, she would guess what gap there was between them. This matter makes the people of the tribe know that there is nothing. If it is put outside, xiaobaoshan will lose face.
Once the sixth princess knows, old lady Qian will know. They attach great importance to xiaobaoshan. Maybe they will do ideological work for her at that time.
"Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao..." the old lady called her again when she saw Ye Xiaoxian in a daze.
"Oh, what, what?"
Mammy said with a smile, "if this place is cleaned up, the slave maid will take you back to your room to have a rest, and then prepare some hot water for you. You can wash and sleep."
"... all right." Ye Xiaoxian said.
Mammy took Ye Xiaoxian out, while Xiao Baozhu laughed in the room.
When I get back to the tribe, I'll tell Li Hongmei about it. Li Hongmei will be happy too.
……
From Mammy's house to the wing room, we had to pass through a yard and turn two corners before we came to a small garden.
Mammy pushed open the door of one of the compartments and saw that the light was on inside, and Xiao Baoshan was also inside. It seemed that he had just come back and had just taken off his coat.
"General Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, I'll leave first. Someone will send hot water later. Please wait patiently."
Ye Xiaoxian answered in a muddle and then entered the house in a muddle.
Xiao Baoshan always sat on the stool in the room without moving, and looked at Ye Xiaoxian silently.
Ye Xiaoxian came in from behind and said, "Princess six has arranged for me to have a room with you."
"I know." Xiaobao mountain road.
"There seems to be no choice. It is said that the sixth princess's family has come, and the wing room is not enough."
"I know."
Ye Xiaoxian was embarrassed and felt that she was trying to cover up.
Xiao Baoshan didn't speak, just looked at her.
After a while, he said, "the sixth Princess doesn't know our situation. I can only wrong you tonight."
The house is a hall and room structure, with a big bed inside and a small round table and stool outside.
Xiao Baoshan said again, "if you are tired, go to bed and have a rest first."
Ye Xiaoxian didn't agree. She sat down next to him and said, "mammy said, someone will bring hot water later."
Just after that, several servants came in carrying buckets.
Soon poured a large bath bucket of water.
The head maid asked Ye Xiaoxian to bathe them. If you have other orders, you can call them at any time.
Ye Xiaoxian looked at the bucket of water and said nothing.
I definitely want to take a bath.
It's very difficult to take a bath in the tribe. Someone has to carry and boil water. Because the river is far away, everyone generally doesn't waste so much. They only wash once every other period of time.
Xiao Baoshan said, "do you want to take a bath? Otherwise, you wash first. I'll wash after you wash."
Ye Xiaoxian still kept silent and washed in front of him? She can't do it yet.
Although they have done it before, they are like divorced couples, who take a bath in front of their ex husband.
Xiao Baoshan seemed to see it. He moved the screen in the room to the middle of the room, separated the bath bucket from the bed, and built a quilt in the middle of the screen, which covered it tightly.
Xiao Baoshan said to her, "well, wash it first so that the water won't be cold."
Ye Xiaoxian went to take a bath at ease.
In the meantime, she turned several times to see if xiaobaoshan came, but there was no sound behind the screen.
Xiao Baoshan is an honest man and certainly won't come.
She took a bath at ease, and the sound of the water splashed in the house.
Only the sound of water.
……
The leaves were not washed for a long time, because Xiao Baoshan said he would wash them later. She was worried that the water was cold after washing for too long, so she simply wiped them with bubbles and quickly came out to dress when the water temperature was still slightly hot.
When she was dressing, she looked at the big bucket of water she had washed. It was night. The light in the room was general. Naturally, she could not see whether it was dirty or not. But washing a bucket of water is something that only close people can do.
Even if he didn't dislike the water she washed, she found it a little awkward.
After getting dressed, she said to him, "I've washed it."
Whether to wash it next depends on him.
Xiao Baoshan had just been sitting upright. Now ye Xiaoxian came to call him, and he said, "OK."
Then he said, "if you are tired, lie down and have a rest."
The leaf "um" and then sat on the bed.
Xiao Baoshan didn't dislike her washed water at all. She only heard the rustling sound of stripping, then the sound of his body soaking in the bucket, and then the sound of splashing water.
He washed quickly and soon.
After washing, he pushed the door and called the servants guarding outside. When several servants heard the order, they came in and cleared the place.
The room soon regained its appearance as it had just come in. The screens were removed, leaving only Xiao Baoshan and ye Xiaoxian.
So the question is, now there is only one bed in the house. How should I sleep?
They have been sleeping separately for a long time. If they sleep together tonight, their frozen relationship will completely melt.
Ye Xiaoxian has heard all day's boasting today. She praises xiaobaoshan. Her ears have been blown soft. She doesn't blame xiaobaoshan anymore.
She had always said let it be. Now the turn has come. If they can seize this opportunity, their relationship can be restored as usual.
Of course, she won't take the initiative.
She moved into the bed to make room for one person, and then lay down by herself.
She felt that she had signaled that he would not fail to see such an obvious move.
Who knows, Xiaobao mountain is one track minded, straight thinking, and especially stupid.
Leaf did not ask him, he thought she still blamed him and hated him.
There are two quilts on the bed. He came over and held one bed, then pieced together several stools in the house, and then said to ye, "I'll sleep here tonight."
Leaf: "
