Spicy summer day.

The heat like fire could not subside in half the excitement on Zhuque Street. The shops on both sides of the street were lined up, making people look uninterested. Vehicles were constantly passing by. The nobles in silk or brocade and pedestrians in thick linen clothes were either entertainment or busy. The sounds of shopkeepers greeting guests in the shops, and the melodious music of silk, bamboo, sheng, flute and flute interweave into the most prosperous scene in the imperial capital.

Li Yuhua, who was sitting in Qibao's car, felt sweaty and wet her back, but her waist was still straight and she didn't move at all. She didn't want to be underestimated by the maids and nanny in the car. She also felt panic, uneasy, or anger in her heart that she couldn't speak or wanted to admit, so she didn't turn her stiff neck, nor did she look at the imperial capital that she had never seen before outside the window.

She sat straight to Zhuyi Lane and Xu's family on Zhuque Street.

The sweat soaked the Susha Lake silk in summer, stuck to the back, and a small piece of wet appeared. Madam Zheng sighed in her heart and said softly in Li Yuhua's ear, "The old lady has been looking forward to the girl for a long time, so she should go to see the old lady immediately. But we came here from afar, so why don't you change your clothes first, the eldest girl doesn't dislike it. My granddaughter in my family works in the second girl's room. Otherwise, how about you go to the second girl to change clothes?"

Although she was in the car, Li Yuhua's cheeks were red. She was used to living in the countryside. She knew what it was like to sweat and wet clothes. She knew that Madam Zheng's kindness was, and hurriedly said, "I listened to Madam."

The car changed into a sedan in front of the mansion. The sedan chair was carried into the second gate, and along the several courtyards, Li Yuhua occasionally swept through the thin gauze windows of the sedan chair, and only saw the neat and solemn blue bricks and black eaves. The sedan chair was about to take a stick of incense and arrived at the courtyard of the second girl that Madam Zheng mentioned.

Madam Zheng held Li Yuhua through a black lacquered moon gate and walked around the oil-white screen wall. She saw a square and exquisite courtyard with green bananas and bamboos planted in front of the winding corridor, adding a bit of green to the courtyard. The woman guarding the gate came up and greeted Madam Zheng, with her eyes on Li Yuhua, and said with a smile, "Miss Li is back, oh, is this a big girl?"

Five or six girls in red and green came out, each of which was clean and neat, with a little smaller ones, with a pair of velvet hair on their heads, and a few larger ones were silver hairpins and silver hairpins. Li Yuhua looked up and said, "Who was the second girl, the owner of the yard. One of the girls with silver hairpins and apricot eyes and long faces called out to Madam Zheng, "Grandma, you're back."

Madam Zheng said, "This is the big girl. We are going to pay homage to the old lady and lend it to your house for use."

Xiaoqing smiled and said to Li Yuhua, "I'm paying homage to the girl, please follow me."

"Please trouble you." Li Yuhua said.

Xiaoqing smiled, "It's all for the maid's business. The girl is a noble person, so it's hard to use the maid's room. Please ask the girl to go to our maid's room for a while."

Seeing that Madam Zheng had not refused, Li Yuhua followed the grandparents and grandsons to climb the bluestone steps. Xiaoqing raised the Hunan curtain and Madam Zheng asked Li Yuhua to go first. Li Yuhua was not very used to the soft silk embroidered shoes and stepped into the most luxurious house that he had never seen in his life.

An indescribable cool fragrance came towards her. She noticed a wide white porcelain basin on the corner of the house, and there was a large piece of melted ice in the porcelain. Li Yuhua thought to herself that it was not rare to use ice to cool down in summer, but her experiences in the county were definitely not allowed to be allowed to do so.

Li Yuhua heard the sound of footsteps and saw an indescribable beautiful lady from the inside, with a silk gauze all over her body. The beauty between her eyebrows and eyes was the only one Li Yuhua saw in her life. She was followed by a maid, dressed similar to Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing smiled and came forward and said, "Girl, this is the big girl. My grandmother came over with the big girl, thinking of lending the house here for us, asking the big girl to change her clothes first, and then go over to pay the old lady's greetings, so that she could show respect."

Xu Huiran stopped three steps away from Li Yuhua and wrinkled his nose without any trace. Li Yuhua understood that the weather was too hot, and it was hot in the car and the sedan chair was hot, and she had a lot of sweat on her body, which must be bad. Xu Huiran shook the round fan of the white butterfly in her hand and smiled intimately, "What do I do? This is easy. Please follow me and rest for a while. I will tell them to take some of my rouge powder. You can wash your face and make up more rouge."

As he said that, he took Li Yuhua's hand without any disgust and asked Li Yuhua to go and rest. However, Li Yuhua shrank, took a step back and avoided Xu Huiran's approach. He lowered his head restrainedly and whispered, "I'm sweating all over my hands, don't dirty the girl's hand."

"Who doesn't sweat in summer?" Xu Huiran held Li Yuhua openly and pulled her to the inner room. He ordered the maid to prepare a hot water bath. He also asked Xiaoqing to serve tea and fruits. Xiaoliang poured tea and water, and asked Li Yuhua to rest and eat. While asking Li Yuhua if it was smooth on the way.

The two of them spoke politely. When the maid said that they were ready, Xu Huiran asked Xiaoqing to serve Li Yuhua in the bath and left Madam Zheng to talk to him. Xu Huiran wiped the sweat stains in her hands with a ropa and asked, "Is this the big sister?"

"yes."

Xu Huiran pinched his fingers, thinking about the roughness when he just took Li Yuhua's hand, which was thicker than the hands of the third-class little maid in her yard, and Li Yuhua's black skin, ordinary facial features, and a village aura that could not be covered by the head of the golden hairpin. Xu Huiran sighed, "It's so pitiful."

"Who said no? I thought, if I went to see the old lady, it would be a little disrespectful, so I took the liberty to disturb the girl's rest."

"It's not that I don't know. I never sleep at noon, for fear of sleeping too much, and I will miss the night at night. If I have something to do, I'll come here, let alone the elder sister's business." Xu Huiran handed the lychee to Mrs. Zheng. "I know that the nanny has always been well-rounded, but I'm afraid there are no suitable clothes outside. The elder sister's body is similar to mine, and she is only one year older than me. I still have a few summer shirts here that have not touched my body yet. I'll ask Xiaoqing to put them on and wear them for the elder sister first."

"I'm thanking the eldest girl for the eldest girl." Madam Zheng was surprised and happy, and quickly stood up to thank the second girl for a blessing.

Xu Huiran pulled her down and took a concubine to smile and slowly peeled it. The juice of the lychee stained his fingertips. Xu Huiran wiped it with a handkerchief. A faint red color was left on the snow-white silk handkerchief. Xu Huiran's voice was indescribable lazy and delicate, "This is a bit different. My elder sister and I are sisters, and this is not what it should be."

Mama Zheng laughed, "What the girl said is."

Xu Huiran held the concubine's smile in her mouth, and a rich and sweet fragrance reached her heart. She narrowed her eyes comfortably, looked out the sky outside the window, and smiled with a bent lips.

Li Yuhua is not used to letting people serve her to bathe. When the balm that she can't name is carefully applied to her maid, she always feels indescribable shyness.

Her face turned red and she whispered to the two maids, "Just help me apply on my back, I will do the rest myself."

Yun Yan put the balm box on the short table beside her and asked softly, "I will come in and serve the girl in dressing."

"I can wear clothes already. Sister Yunyan, go and rest with Sister Xiaoqing. I'll go out after I'm dressing."

Yun Yan was the maid who went with Madam Zheng to pick up Li Yuhua. She was the big maid who served by Mrs. Xu and always worked in a good manner. Due to her background, Li Yuhua did not know how to wear clothes made of soft gauzes and silk, such as knee pants, small clothes, ribbons, silk ribbons, jade pendants, gauze clothes, silk cloth, etc. Li Yuhua didn't understand how to wear clothes. Along the way, Madam Zheng Yun Yan also bought some wearable clothes for Li Yuhua. Li Yuhua spoke very little, but she was a person who knew what she knew. She already understood the things about wearing clothes and jewelry.

After Li Yuhua gave this order, Yun Yan and Xiaoqing went out together.

Li Yuhua looked at the door that was closed again, reached out to pick up the white jade balm box, and only dug a small piece of it lightly. This was the second girl's thing, and she would not use it at will. So, just put some on her wrists, ankles, and neck. Li Yuhua put on a shiro dress. After she finished her clothes, Li Yuhua left the bathroom and recombed her hair with the second girl's makeup mirror.

After she was combed with her hair, Li Yuhua did not delay and stood up and looked at Madam Zheng. Madam Zheng understood what she meant and smiled and said to Xu Huiran, "I disturbed the second girl today. I will take Madam Li to pay tribute to the old lady."

Li Yuhua thanked the second girl softly, still feeling unforgettable, "Thank you today."

Xu Huiran held Li Yuhua's hand and said warmly, "Sister, don't be so polite. We are not outsiders. Grandma has been looking forward to my sister for a long time, but my sister won't dislike me. I'll send my sister over there together."

Li Yuhua lowered her eyes, covered all the emotions in her eyes, and repeated, "Thank you."

Xu Huiran was close to him. Seeing that Li Yuhua had a dull face, Xu Huiran didn't mind and took Li Yuhua to Mrs. Hu's Shoude Hall.

The Xu family's assistant minister's mansion, Li Yuhua had heard Madam Zheng talk about it on the road. She was in the countryside, and she had only heard of the county magistrate. She heard her friends talk about the state officials. She didn't know what the minister was. However, the blue bricks and gray tiles of the Mansion were neat and elegant, which was enough to open her horizons. When she first entered this wealthy mansion, Li Yuhua half-downed her head and stared at the blue bricks under her feet. No one knew what she was thinking.

The maid held the oil-paper umbrella for the sun, and she was still sweating slightly. When she entered the old lady's courtyard, she suddenly felt a cool feeling. The wind blowing from somewhere, or the large piece of coolness covered by the tall ginkgo in the courtyard, Li Yuhua couldn't help but look up. The shattered sunlight among the leaves fell on her body, and an unknown bird flew out from the trees and flew away from the sky.
