Spring planting and autumn harvest, daily life. There are no imperial relatives. The space is used for hoarding items and storing things.
Xu Han woke up to find herself transmigrated to an al...
Upon seeing the two return, Liu Erzhu hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Master and Madam, the main hall and side hall have been cleaned up. You can rest in the main hall for a while. The bedroom has also been cleaned, but there are still some water stains on the floor, and the road is a bit slippery."
Xu Han replied, "Okay, I understand. How's the cleaning going in the other places?"
"We've finished cleaning up the most important parts of the front yard first, and we still have time to clean up the rest. We've also cleared away the fallen leaves and weeds in the back yard, but we haven't had time to trim some of the flowers, plants, and trees yet. It will probably take another day to clean everything up."
Xu Han waved her hand dismissively, saying, "It's alright. The courtyard is quite large, and it's troublesome to clean up. You don't need to rush. We'll be staying here for two more days. Just clean everything up before you leave. But please be careful when you're cleaning."
"Alright, Madam, don't worry! I'll keep an eye on things."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go check over there."
Liu Erzhu acknowledged and withdrew. Xu Han then said to Lu Chuan, "You wait for me in the hall. I'll go check on how their clothes are coming along."
"Okay, you go ahead. It's not convenient for me to go over. Just call me if you need anything. I'll just wander around the yard."
Upon hearing this, Xu Han went to the backyard first, and Lu Chuan followed closely behind.
The servants' quarters were located in the backyard, directly connected to the back door. A wall separated the courtyard from the servants' quarters, which effectively ensured privacy on both sides.
As the two walked along, the servants who were cleaning the courtyard greeted them one after another, and Xu Han nodded in response, occasionally asking about the progress of the cleaning.
Seeing that everyone was busy with their own things, Xu Han didn't pay much attention and went straight into the servants' quarters.
As soon as Xu Han entered, she saw Dan Niang leading a group of women making clothes, including the two young girls from the Zhu family and Qi Yu.
"How's it going? How many have you made?"
As soon as Xu Han said this, the others quickly raised their heads and stood up to greet her. Xu Han quickly stopped them, saying, "Sit down, sit down, everyone. Don't be so polite. Just relax and do what you're doing. Don't delay your work."
Yue Niang spoke first, "Reporting to Madam, we have spent the whole afternoon cutting out almost all the clothes. Now we just need to sew them all together."
"Hmm, you guys are pretty fast. Keep going, but take a break when you get tired. Even though we need to finish quickly, we can't keep staring at the needlework. It's bad for our eyes."
Let's go for a walk together after working for a while, rest our eyes, look at the distance or something, and not just keep our heads down and keep working.
Sister-in-law Li quickly replied, "Madam, you're too kind. Making clothes is the easiest job; it's not tiring at all."
Granny Zhao also said, "Yes, Madam, these clothes were all made by ourselves. We're so happy! We're not tired at all."
Everyone hadn't worn new clothes for years, and now they couldn't wait for them to be made so they could wear something new.
The others echoed, their eyes filled with anticipation for the future. Although they hadn't been so eager for life when they were bought, after spending a day with their new homeowner, they all felt that they had chosen a good homeowner and that their future would definitely get better and better.
Now, not only do I have a monthly allowance, but I even had noodles and eggs for lunch.
Now we even have new clothes to wear, and according to the lady, each of us will have two new outfits and two pairs of shoes. Such a good life was unthinkable before.
Xu Han looked around and saw that everyone was indeed very happy, their eyes shining with an undeniable light, so she said nothing more.
What surprised Xu Han the most was that everyone was surprisingly united. Xu Han casually flipped through the clothes they had already cut and saw that everyone was sewing men's clothes. Of course, the most eye-catching were the two sets of clothes for very small children.
Although everyone hadn't worn new clothes for a long time, none of the people present showed favoritism by thinking of making their own clothes first. Instead, they all agreed to make the clothes for the men who were working outside.
Seeing this, Xu Han felt even more favorably disposed towards this group. It's good that they're united; if they're united, they won't cause so much trouble, and it will save her a lot of worry.
Xu Han didn't care whether they were faking it or not; in her opinion, as long as the superficial harmony was maintained, that was enough, and she didn't care about anything else.
Everyone has their own little thoughts, and as long as they don't reveal them to her, Xu Han can pretend not to see them.
Sometimes pretending not to see isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as she can maintain control of the overall direction.
Time and energy were not enough for her to take care of everyone's affairs and emotions.
Xu Han looked around but didn't see any bedding, so she asked again, "Where's the bedding? Did you make it? We need it tonight. Even though it's still hot, it's not good to go out at night without a blanket, as it's easy to get sick when it gets cold."
Granny Ma quickly replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, we've made ten quilts from the cotton you gave us, Madam. They've all been put back in the rooms now. Each quilt is very thick, so you won't get cold even in winter. Would you like to take a look, Madam?"
Xu Han also laughed and said, "I won't watch, you guys do it."
Madam Zhou continued, "We still have some cotton left over from making bedding. Where do you think we should put it, Madam?"
Xu Han suddenly realized that she didn't have any in her room yet, so she said, "Send some to my bedroom later. There aren't any bedding there yet. I need to make a set for myself, otherwise I won't have any blankets to use tonight."
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Li slapped her forehead. "How could we forget such an important thing? We were only thinking about ourselves and forgot that Madam and the old lady just moved in today and definitely don't have bedding."
Qi Yu also said, "How can we trouble you to do it yourself, Madam? Leave these small things to us. We're used to doing them, and we'll get them done in no time."
Xu Han smiled and declined, "No need. I made it myself before. Besides, you still have so many things to finish! I only have one quilt, I can finish it myself in no time."
"No, no, no, Madam, we'll help you with these things. You don't need to do them yourself."
Xu Han sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. In the end, she had no choice but to let them do it. They were all so enthusiastic that she couldn't refuse them at all.
Well, Xu Han finally experienced what it felt like to be waited on hand and foot. It was only the first day, and she could only slowly get used to it.
