Chapter 252 Please be careful
This house has only one entrance and is a square courtyard. The reason why it is valuable is that there is a small yard in the backyard and a well, so there is no need to fetch water outside.
That's why Yan Shouyu bought the house. It is located deep in the city, but it is small and exquisite, with all the necessary facilities.
The west wing was empty, but the east wing had a warm couch and a table and chairs, so it could be used as a place to stay.
Yan Shouyu was about to leave when Shi Mama asked again, "So, should Madam Yuan use my old clothes or Mr. Yuan's? Leave them overnight, and I'll wash them for her and put them on the stove cover to dry. She can wear them tomorrow."
Yan Shouyu scratched his head, thinking that women are indeed very thoughtful in doing these trivial matters, so he said, "I have a few sets of clothes in my closet that I haven't worn yet. Mom, please see if you can use them."
Mother Shi smiled and said yes, this is for girls to wear, so of course it has to be new and good.
Yan Shouyu only comes to stay here occasionally, so there are always clothes for all four seasons here. Even the casual robes are made of the best material.
Her clothes were old, ugly, and baggy as an old woman's. They were not as good as her young master's clothes.
When Yan Shouyu walked out of the main room, he saw Yuan Jiuer sticking his head out from the kitchen door. The kitchen was next to the west wing, and the east wing was connected to the gatehouse where Shi Mama lived.
However, when Yuan Jiuer saw Yan Shouyu, her first reaction was to shrink back, thinking that she looked really creepy.
Yan Shouyu just took a glance and went to the east wing.
Mother Shi strode back to the kitchen, scooping up hot water while saying to Yuan Jiuer, "The flushing in this kitchen is not good, it leaks air, and it's not convenient. Madam Yuan, please come with me to the main room."
Madam Yuan hesitated, "What about you, sir?"
"Hey, the young master is just a warrior, he values his life but he is not a picky person. If he agrees, you can use it."
Madam Yuan was no longer polite. Although there was a fire burning in the kitchen and it was warm, there was a hole on one side of the wall for smoke and fire to pass through.
It was fine during the day, but it was really unsafe for the girl to take a bath here at night. She thought to herself that this young man was really nice, so she followed Mother Shi to the main house's bathroom.
Mother Shi quickly prepared the water in the tub, handed a clean towel to Yuan Jiuer, and said, "Madam, take a bath. I'm going to go out. Call me if you need anything."
Yuan Jiuer nodded, then took off her clothes and sat in the hot soup.
The hot soup just relieved the fatigue and soreness of the day.
Yuan Jiuer took the gourd ladle, washed her hair first, then rinsed her body. Looking at the white mist in front of her, she sighed softly.
Although she had always addressed the man as "Young Master", she knew all about him. She knew that he was the second son of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and that his name was Yan Shouyu.
What she told Yan Shouyu about her family background today was all true, but it was not a recent event, but happened several years ago.
Yuan Jiuer didn't know how her master would resolve the issue with her aunt and family if Yan Shouyu really wanted to investigate.
However, her master has always been very powerful, so Yuan Jiuer is not worried.
But she also knew that her master actually followed others' orders and there were higher-level people above him, but Yuan Jiuer could not contact the master above her.
She was specially trained and prepared to be a chess piece that could be used at any time. All her food and daily necessities over the years were supplied by the organization, and she was also taught to read and recognize characters.
Those who are gifted with nimble hands and feet can learn kung fu, while those who are a little pretty like her can be used in a different way.
As the saying goes, raise an army for a thousand days and deploy it for a moment. Yuan Jiuer knows his own usefulness, so he is loyal.
In order to make her bitterness look more real, Yuan Jiuer deliberately provoked a lot of thugs on the streets today, which made her look so embarrassed. This was so that if Yan Shouyu wanted to investigate in the future, he would be able to find clues and avoid being exposed.
"Madam Yuan, this dress is clean and the young master has never worn it. You can just wear it." Madam Shi came in holding the clothes.
Yuan Jiuer smiled and said thank you. When Shi Mama saw this, she stopped in her tracks and said, "Oh, I was wondering, this is Huazi, and he's so pretty!"
Mother Shi looked at Yuan Jiuer's face and praised her highly. For a moment, she thought that it was no wonder that her father and brother wanted to marry her off as a concubine and sell her for a good price. At the same time, she secretly cursed such a father and brother for being so heartless that they wanted to send such a girl to an old man to ruin her.
Mother Shi said, "A girl like you should be clean and look good. Come out and wash yourself. Are you hungry? If you are, I will cook you a bowl of noodles."
Yuan Jiuer shook her head and said she was not hungry. In fact, it was because Mother Shi treated her so well, better than her own mother, and took care of her so much, so she was embarrassed to ask for food.
Only then did Mother Shi smile and walk out.
The bathroom fell silent again. Yuan Jiuer leaned against the wooden barrel, smelling the fresh wood scent of the bathtub. She knew that the young master rarely used this bathtub.
The hot soup relieved fatigue, and Yuan Jiuer was embarrassed to soak for too long. Not long after Shi Mama left, he got up, dried himself and changed his clothes.
In addition to her inner garments, what Mother Shi sent her was a blue cloth robe.
It's just that Yan Shouyu is almost a head taller than her and has a strong body, so when he puts on this robe, it can only be said that it drags on the ground.
When she walked out, Shi Mama saw it and said with a smile, "There's nothing we can do about it. I'll cut it shorter for Madam Yuan tomorrow."
For a moment, Mother Shi was busy cleaning the bathroom. Yuan Jiuer wanted to help, but was stopped, "It's inconvenient for you to be dressed like this. Your clothes will get wet later."
Yuan Jiuer looked at her robe that was dragging on the ground, thought about it, and went out.
When Mother Shi came out of the bathroom after cleaning up, she said to her, "Madam, please sit down for a while. I'll go to the east wing and clean up for you, then I'll call you over."
There was no one living there. There was nothing there except a warm couch, a table and chairs. It was deserted and chilly. Mother Shi was going to find her a quilt and light up the warm couch.
Yuan Jiuer sat down on the couch by the window feeling a little uneasily. After a busy day, she felt a little tired.
When Yan Shouyu walked in, he saw Yuan Jiuer sitting under the lamp with her eyes lowered. He paused, obviously in a daze.
Yuan Jiuer came back to her senses when she saw his footsteps. Seeing him staring at her, she touched her face a little embarrassedly, "But Jiuer didn't wash it clean."
Yan Shouyu cleared his throat and said, "No, it's clean."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiuer put her hand down again. For a moment, she fell into silence, which was also somewhat awkward.
Just now, all Yan Shouyu saw was a poor beggar, but now that he was clean, it seemed like he had recognized a new person.
There was silence for a while. After a long while, Yuan Jiuer asked in a low voice, "I still don't know what your name is, sir?"
"My last name is Yan." Yan Shouyu moved his throat and said briefly.
"Master Yan." Yuan Jiuer whispered, "Thank you for what you did today. I will repay you for saving my life another day."
"It doesn't matter."
As she spoke, Mother Shi's voice was heard from the other side, calling Yuan Jiuer's name and saying that it was almost time to go over.
"Then Jiuer will go now." Yuan Jiuer then got up from the couch.
"Yeah." Seeing her getting up to leave, Yan Shouyu also stood up to see her off.
The two walked to the door, but before they opened it, Yuan Jiuer suddenly turned around and hugged Yan Shouyu's waist, "Master Yan, Jiuer has nothing left. I am innocent and have only this worthless body. Let Jiuer repay you."
Yan Shouyu only felt his heart filled with soft fragrance. His throat moved up and down. He put his hands on Yuan Jiuer's shoulders, wanting to pull her away, but seeing the girl like this, he seemed a little reluctant.
"Miss Yuan, Yan is a married man and cannot give you a formal status. Please be careful."
