144. Song Xiulin.
If the lady hadn't thought that she had worked in the General's Mansion for many years, she would probably not be able to stay here. However, since the lady married the prince, she had become much more irritable. It seemed that she had heard that she could not beat the official princess, so she returned home, but the specific situation was not clear.
"I have to give this boiled water to the lady, so I have to add cold water, right?" Song Xiulin pointed to the water that had just smoked but had not yet been completely hot.
"What's wrong?!" She nodded and looked at Song Xiulin with a confused look on her face. Song Xiulin suddenly smiled, and the smile surprised the person in front of her. Her white and neat teeth were so charming that she looked back with a smile. "Oh!" She stood up, turned around Song Xiulin a few times, and looked at her carefully. Song Xiulin looked at her in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Song Xiulin looked at her simple but flawless clothes, then raised her head and looked at her with doubt.
"Xiulin, I can't tell you are a beautiful woman." She poked her gently with her hand. Song Xiulin couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile when she saw her funny look. Why didn't she know that she is a beautiful woman?!
"Okay, it's important to give this water to the lady first. Remember, pour it into the bathtub later. Don't add cold water, otherwise it will be too cold." The temperature of the water is just right now, and it will be too cold to add more. I just heard the girl's tone and knew that this matter was not slow.
"Yes. Why didn't I expect it?" She held the circle in her hand and tapped her palm. She looked at Song Xiulin with surprise and surprise. "I didn't expect this head to be so smart." After saying that, she planned to nod her head with her hand, but who knew that Song Xiulin avoided and took her hand.
He whispered, "Stop making trouble. Hurry up." He nodded. The two of them put the hot water in the wooden barrel and covered the lid. At this time, a figure stood at the door to block the light. Song Xiulin couldn't help but shake his head. "Don't be naughty at Shan'er." As soon as he finished speaking, the figure walked in, squatted on the ground, watching them work.
"Mom, I've already brought the firewood." Jiang Shan said mischievously. Only in front of Song Xiulin would he look so naughty like a child.
"Thank you, Jiang Shan, if it weren't for you, the firewood in the General's Mansion really didn't know what to do." The middle-aged woman said gratefully. She was right. Everyone knew that the money in the General's Mansion was not easy to make. No one gave it to firewood. Although it was not easy to make, the wages were quite large. But this would be a coward, and no one would make any money.
"It's okay!" Jiang Shan patted his chest and said boldly. Song Xiulin shook his head helplessly, walked to Jiang Shan, and squatted down with him. Jiang Shan stared at her with wide eyes, not understanding what she was going to do next.
"Shan'er, don't get tired of yourself. Your body is not good at all. It's all my fault that I can't give you a good life." Song Xiulin said with a sad face, his tone slightly choked.
"With my mother here, life is already very good." Jiang Shan shook his head and looked at Song Xiulin firmly. The person behind him was moved by this scene just now, but he didn't expect that he would say such touching words, which made her cry and move them to happiness.
"Jiang Shan, take a rest here and have a drink of hot water. I'll bring water to the lady first." She almost forgot about the main business. The water was not very hot, and the weather was easy to cool. She picked up two buckets of water, but who knew she quickly put it down again. "Oh--" She was in a wrong posture just now and was about to flash. Fortunately, she stopped in time, so she didn't make a big mistake. She just twisted it and rested for a while, but the water was probably not able to bear it.
"What's wrong?" Song Xiulin quickly stepped forward, helped her to the chair next to her and sat down, looking at her nervously. She saw cold sweat on her forehead, holding her waist with one hand, and couldn't speak for a long time. "Twisted?" Song Xiulin pointed at her waist, and nodded with difficulty. "So accidentally." Song Xiulin said blamingly. After these days of getting along, although she had not communicated with her, she occasionally asked for hot water to drink and chat with her and talk about life, but today she was scolded for herself and might be punished. Just this, she can't leave her alone, right?! She can't do this, let alone Jiang Shan here, so she has to set an example.
"Really, what should I do with this water?" She said sadly, regretting it. Jiang Shan walked to the waterside, and his thin body carried the two full buckets of water.
He turned around and said to Song Xiulin. "It's okay, I'm there. But where are you going to send this?" Song Xiulin smiled gently at Jiang Shan, not thinking that he was causing trouble for himself, but instead gave himself a kind of comfort.
"I'm so sorry, I'll send you to the Gladiolus Courtyard every time." She said happily and gratefully. But she looked at him with a worried look. Can he deal with it? Jiang Shan struggled and kept silently chanting "Gladiolus Courtyard" for fear of forgetting. "It's really..." Knowing that she was about to say again, Song Xiulin quickly poured a glass of water to stop him.
"No need to thank you, didn't you help me just now?" She said that, and handed the water to her. She burst into tears. She took the water cup and tried it on her lips. The water temperature was just right, so she drank it in a few sips.
On the way, Jiang Shan changed his seat from time to time and stopped to rest for a while. He might not know that the water was not very hot, right? After such a toss, it would turn out to be cold water when it arrived. Even if it was still hot, it could only be warm. "Where is that Gladiolus Court?" Jiang Shan knew to read, but not much, so he would just teach him a little. He could not have money to hire a teacher, let alone go to a private school. As for why her mother could read, he didn't know. Jiang Shan stopped and politely asked the servants who had passed by.
"It's not far from this, then." She said a little surprised and scared. She stretched out her hand and pointed her in a direction. She was still trembling when she pointed at her fingers. After saying that, she was about to leave. Jiang Shan stopped her when she saw that she looked strange.
"Thank you. Why do you look like this?" Jiang Shan couldn't help asking. Unexpectedly, when she said this, she trembled even more, just shook her head and shook her hands. This made Jiang Shan unable to touch her head. Could it be that the Gladiolus Courtyard would eat people? Looking at the crazy figure who was walking away, she carried the bucket and walked towards the place she pointed at for doubts and confusion. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard an angry shout. Nothing in this yard was complete, such as the stone table, which was half missing?!
There was only one stone chair left and was a little shorter. When the others looked at it, they fell to the edge of the pond, stained with soil, and a rocking chair turned into a left and right structure. Shouldn't this chair be on that? Why is it on the ground? Also, all the tiles on the pavilion have fallen off and become an open-air pavilion?! The trees are different, the branches are broken, and some have sword marks and knife marks on them, which is simply unsightly.
