Medicine Maiden: Orion's Pampering

Chapter 438 So Strange!
The next day, before dawn, there was a knock on the far door. Shen Ruyu slept with her clothes on last night, but got up quickly, and went out with the wine jar.

"Uncle Sun, this is for you," Shen Ruyu generously sent a small pot of wine over, "It's a little cold in the morning and evening, please warm yourself up."

"You girl is much better than your brother." Uncle Sun patted the carriage and motioned for Shen Ruyu to sit on it. After flicking the whip, he opened the jug and drank leisurely.

The carriage was gradually submerged in the still dim dawn.

Yang Tiansheng followed all the way. When he was at the back door of Ying Mansion, Ben squatted down to avoid being seen by the person who opened the door.

"Are you here?" The cook who opened the door had a strong voice. When she saw Uncle Sun, she pushed her with a smile on her face. Then when she saw Shen Ruyu, her smile disappeared, "Who is this skinny girl?"

"Her name is Ahua," Uncle Sun said as he walked in, motioning for Shen Ruyu to follow, "I brought you something, you can try it."

"What is it?" The cook sniffed the flagon, her face brightened instantly, "It's a good thing, old grandson."

After speaking, he grabbed the jug and drank.

"Save some for me," Uncle Sun followed the kitchen to the storage room.

Shen Ruyu looked at the kitchen and found that the stove was cold, and there was no fire in the stove, let alone ready for breakfast.

So what is Uncle Sun doing here so early to deliver food?
"Take it easy, dead thing." Then, the sound of playing and playing came from the storage room, and soon it turned into a lingering moaning sound.

Shen Ruyu's scalp tingled for a while, she wanted to try her luck to see if she could find out about Qiaoyu, but who knew that this cook had an affair with Uncle Sun who delivered the food.

"Zhou Ma, Zhou Ma..." The cry got closer and closer, so fast that even Shen Ruyu couldn't find a place to hide before being seen by the visitor.

"Who are you?" The long and narrow phoenix eyes were not shaved, and her face was pale and ugly without makeup, but she was wearing a fine silk dress, and even her hair was neatly combed.

"I...I..." Shen Ruyu immediately put away her nimble eyes, clapped her handkerchief with her hand down, looking anxious.

"Zhou Mama's new helper?" After the woman looked Shen Ruyu up and down, she didn't ask any more questions, "Oh, hurry up and boil the water for the master to bathe, don't delay, I will miss the master's important business later, I There is no way."

"I know... I know," Shen Ruyu responded with a bow, and when she saw the woman's footsteps out of sight, she slowly raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Here, the door of the storage room was suddenly kicked open.

The cook's voice floated out, "Little girl, you boil the water for me, and I will reward you with breakfast later."

"This..." Shen Ruyu has never served anyone before. When she was about to refuse, she suddenly thought how would she find Qiaoyu if she didn't go out. After all, there is no one else in the kitchen to ask, so she responded obediently, "Okay, thank you." Mother Zhou."

The storage room door slammed shut.

Now that she had such a good opportunity, Shen Ruyu rolled up her sleeves and lit a fire to boil water. Fortunately, the firewood was relatively dry and the flames were very strong, and a large pot of water was quickly boiled.

After putting the boiling water into the wooden bucket, Shen Ruyu grabbed two handfuls of charcoal dust and wiped it on her face twice, covering up her original appearance. With the coarse clothes on her body, she looked more like a girl from a poor family .

Ying's mansion is not big, so he agreed and walked to the front yard.

The sky was getting brighter, and there were already maids sweeping. Seeing Shen Ruyu's clumsy appearance carrying the bucket, they all stopped and laughed at her.

"What are you laughing at, work quickly for me," a yell sounded, and the maids dispersed in a rush, going about what they should do.

"Are you new here?"

"Well," Shen Ruyu was able to cope with the same doubts, "My name is Ahua, and I am a distant relative of Zhou Mama. Just now a lady asked me to send water to Guiyuan."

"Mother Zhou introduced it? Why haven't I heard her talk about it?" The nanny-like woman touched the broken hair on her ear, and then urged Shen Ruyu to take the bucket to Guiyuan, "Come with me, don't look around That’s right, be careful not to touch the spill, it’s terrible to burn people.”

"Yes," Shen Ruyu said, listening to the woman speak in an orderly manner, much more at ease, "How should I call you?"

"I'm the woman in the madam's house, so call me Mama Liu," Mama Liu led the way, not forgetting to ask, "Hurry up and get out after delivering the water in a while, do you understand?"

"Yes," Shen Ruyu responded obediently.

Mother Liu took another look, and she was quite satisfied.

After turning around a flower garden, I arrived at Guiyuan.

Mother Liu knocked on the door, and there was a response from inside, "Come in."

The voice sounded like it belonged to the woman before.

After entering, although Shen Ruyu went to the clean room without looking directly, she recognized the embroidered shoes on the ground.

It was the woman I had seen before.

"Hurry up and get out, don't miss the madam's waiting for the master to take a bath," Liu's mother pushed Shen Ruyu out, and then quickly closed the door, as if she was afraid of being seen what was going on inside the house.

Shen Ruyu still poked her head curiously, hoping to hear something even if she didn't see anything, who knew that she didn't gain anything, and she did work for others for nothing.

This business is a loss.

"The next time the water is boiled and poured into a wooden barrel, Madam will bring it to Guiyuan, you know?" Mother Liu instructed Shen Ruyu as she walked, lest she be as reckless as today.

"Oh, I see," Shen Ruyu replied, but she was very puzzled in her heart. This lady still serves Ying Yuanpei herself?Could it be that there is something shady?

At the archway connecting the front yard to the back yard, Mother Liu told Shen Ruyu to go back to the kitchen quickly, and then left by herself.

What a strange house.

Back in the kitchen, as soon as Shen Ruyu opened the door, she saw Zhou's mother jumping off Uncle Sun's lap, and said with a smile, "Little girl, thank you, come on, this is the beauty cream our wife ate. You eat a piece too."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to a plate of rice cakes on the stove and said, "Eat quickly, don't let our wife see it."

"Hey, okay," Shen Ruyu went to squat by the door with a small plate and ate, playing the role of a girl from a poor family so deeply that Zhou's mother liked it again and again, "Hua girl, madam, let me warm you up." Has the water been sent to the master's house?"

"Ah!" Shen Ruyu nodded and continued to eat.

"What do you see, tell me about it?"

"I saw the embroidered shoes." Shen Ruyu blinked her pure eyes, with a frank face, "Mother Liu won't let you see more, and I don't dare to see more."

"You kid is too honest, if you don't want to watch it, you won't watch it," Zhou's mother poked Shen Ruyu's forehead, and said with a smile, "Food and lodging are included, I'll give you a hundred coins, why don't you? "
