idle mistress

Chapter 16
Carrying things on her body like this is easy to reveal, and she will hurt herself if she is not careful. She has to think of a way; looking at the sharp blade, several plans flashed through her mind, but she was caught by her one by one. rejected.

Footsteps came from behind, she turned her head vigilantly, and saw Chang Geng walking excitedly, she quickly hid the blade.

Chang Geng held some food in his hand, Xu Weiqiu was used to it, Chang Geng treated him very well, he would always think of him whenever there was something delicious, and he also said that he liked to hear her sing the ditties of his hometown.

"Zhao Fu, look, I brought you pork belly today."

As soon as Chang Geng came over, he couldn't wait to open the oiled paper bag in his hand like offering a treasure. Seeing this, Xu Weiqiu stretched out his hand to stop him: "Brother Chang Geng, be careful."

However, it was still too late, but I saw a few drops of oil dripping from the oil paper bag, just falling on the unwashed clothes she had put aside.

When the two saw this, they were all taken aback.

Chang Geng panicked: "This...Zhao Fu, do you think this...can be washed off?"

Xu Weiqiu picked out the oil-stained clothes, put them in the basin and rubbed them vigorously a few times.

Chang Geng waited anxiously at the side, but after a lot of effort, the oil stain remained the same.

Seeing this, Chang Geng felt that a disaster was imminent: "What to do, this is the clothes that the master likes to wear the most, if it can't be washed off, we will both be finished."

He was so anxious that he was about to cry: "It's all my fault, clumsy, it's all my fault..." While speaking, he was about to reach out to slap himself.

Xu Weiqiu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and comforted him: "Brother Chang Geng, don't worry, I'll think of a way."

"Is there a way?"

"There is always a way to think about it, so don't worry." Xu Weiqiu was actually quite flustered in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Chang Geng at the side saw that she looked very calm, so he stopped crying and looked at her with a bitter face.

Xu Weiqiu looked around. She knew that there was a pod of acacia tree that could remove oil stains, but there seemed to be no such fruit trees nearby.

With...

An idea flashed through her mind. I wonder if this method is feasible. She looked at the eye-catching stain. Now this situation can only be treated as a dead horse.

Thinking of this, she stood up: "Brother Chang Geng, wait for me, I will go back as soon as I go."

Seeing Chang Geng nodding, she quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Outside the kitchen, a handyman was chopping firewood, she stepped forward and bowed to say hello: "Uncle, I want to go into the kitchen to get some plant ash."

The handyman quickly recognized her, and couldn't help saying: "Hey, who am I, isn't this the little brother Zhao Fu who is serving in front of the master?"

"Yes, I am."

"What do you want plant ash for?"

"I'm using it urgently, I wonder if it can be convenient?"

The two were talking, and no one noticed that a middle-aged woman in the kitchen heard the conversation between the two and turned her head to look out.

"Is it convenient or not? There are so many of those things in the kitchen, you just go in and get them."

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Xu Weiqiu went to the kitchen. As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw a familiar face looking towards him. Wasn't it the cook Aunt Chen who had specially taken care of him in the factory back then?

She called out to the other party with surprise on her face: "Aunt Chen."

Aunt Chen looked her up and down, and asked suspiciously, "Are you..."

"Ms. Chen, I'm Xiaoyu."

After staring at her for a long while, Aunt Chen finally came to her senses, and then held her hand with mixed surprises on her face: "So it's you, little guy, you changed into this clothes, I was too dazed to recognize you. I haven't seen you for such a long time, I thought something happened to you."

Xu Weiqiu nodded: "Well, I left in a hurry and didn't have time to greet you."

Aunt Chen patted the back of her hand affectionately, and asked, "Why did I hear people outside calling you Zhao Fu?"

"That is the name bestowed by Master Shaofu."

Aunt Chen nodded: "Master gave it, Zhao Fu Zhao Fu, is a blessed name, are you serving in front of the master now?"

"Well, that's how it is at the moment."

"Well, it's a good thing, it's much better than staying in the factory..."

After reuniting after a long absence, the two were very happy and couldn't help exchanging a few pleasantries. Afterwards, Xu Weiqiu remembered the purpose of this trip and borrowed some ashes from her before saying goodbye and leaving.

Before leaving, Aunt Chen grabbed her sleeves and looked around, as if hesitating to speak.

Seeing this, Xu Weiqiu looked at her suspiciously. Aunt Chen looked around for a while, and finally let go without saying anything.

Back in the backyard, Chang Geng was already anxious to follow the ants on the hot pot, as soon as he saw her, he rushed up to meet her.

Seeing that she brought back some plant ash, she was also stunned, and asked, "What are you doing with this thing?"

"Use it to wash." While speaking, she took out a handful of plant ash and put it into the clear water.

Seeing this, Chang Geng asked out his concerns: "Won't this thing get dirtier as it gets washed?"

"I don't know if it will work or not, so let's give it a try."

Chang Geng watched as she added another handful to the clean water, stirred it evenly with his hands, then put the oil-stained clothes in, let it sit for a while, and then fished it out.

Xu Weiqiu vigorously rubbed the oil-stained piece of cloth about twenty times.After passing the water once, the stubborn stain was gone, Xu Weiqiu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's gone."

"Let me see." Chang Geng took the clothes in disbelief and checked them again and again, then patted her on the shoulder with surprise on his face: "It's really gone, this ashes can wash things, Zhao Fu, I really have you Yes, I didn't expect you to know a lot at such a young age."

Xu Weiqiu let out a long breath, looked up at the sky, and knew that he wasted a lot of time and had to report to Zhao Yan's later.

She didn't dare to be careless anymore, and hurriedly took the time to wash clothes.

The so-called personal attendant is that wherever Zhao Yan goes, she must follow him. To put it nicely, she is a small follower, and at worst, she is a follower.

Zhao Yan did some serious business today. After visiting the factory, he came back and held a meeting with several craftsmen in charge in the main hall.

Xu Weiqiu's status was low and she couldn't get in, so she just waited outside, and in the evening, she quietly left.

There are a lot of mosquitoes here, so she has to go into the main house in advance to light mosquito repellent spices.

It should be a good spice. After lighting it, after a while, the whole main house was filled with a good smell.

She took a bucket of water, wet a piece of rag and began to wipe it. She wiped almost all the furniture including tables, chairs, stools, high tables, cabinets, screens and mirrors.

A delicate pendant hangs from the beam, which seems to be carved from wood or ivory, covered with a layer of dust.

The pendant hung so high that she had to climb up the long case to reach it.
