Time Travel: The Noble Family
Chapter 326 - Chapter 326 Chapter 118 Temple Life

Chapter 326: Chapter 118: Temple Life Chapter 326: Chapter 118: Temple Life Yueying had rested for most of the day and finally felt a bit better, so she decided to ask Yueyao how the house had been arranged. Yueyao, looking at such a rudimentary house, really didn’t know how to handle it, but when she entered Yueyao’s dwelling, she found that everything inside was already properly arranged.

The bedding was ready, and on the bed, there lay a six-tenths new, thick, water-blue cotton quilt; a table was placed at the head of the bed adorned with a dressing box; the wardrobe next to the bed was also filled with clothes; and on the table by the window, there laid out writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Yueying paused for a moment, then forced a smile, “Third younger sister, you have already tidied up?” She hadn’t expected Yueyao to be so efficient.

Yueyao hummed a sound, saying, “Elder sister, the nights here on the mountain will be much colder than those below the mountain. Swap all your brought quilts for cotton ones, otherwise, it will be too cold. You should also wear an additional piece of clothing, or else you might catch a cold.”

Yueying had long been aware that it was cooler on the mountain than below, and the last time, she had specifically reminded Yueyao, answering, “Third younger sister, I know.”

Yueyao smiled and did not speak further.

After a while of conversing, Yueying returned to her own room. Cai Lan whispered, “Miss, should we ask Qiao Lan and Hua Lei to come help us?” She currently felt weak, wishing to do nothing, and seeing how energetic Hua Lei and Qiao Lan appeared made her envy their boundless energy.

Cai Qing glanced at Cai Lan and smiled bitterly without speaking. She did not understand how Cai Lan could think this way, believing Qiao Lan and Hua Lei, being maids in their courtyard, could be ordered around at will. Fortunately, before she had spoken, Yueying had already declined.

Yueying couldn’t bring herself to ask, stating, “We’ll manage it on our own. We can still get it right.”

Cai Lan and Cai Qing, together lifting the heavy quilts, Yueying looked on without thinking to lend a hand. Once the bedding was ready, Yueying touched it, finding it hard, unsure of how she would sleep at night.

Cai Lan needed to use the restroom, went out, and then came back. She returned with a troubled expression, saying, “Miss, the courtyard lacks a clean room. I just asked Nanny Hao, and she said there is a latrine nearby.” It was a small half-quarter hour’s distance from here.

Yueying ah-ed softly, asking, “Latrine, what is that?” As she had never seen a latrine before, upon hearing Cai Lan’s description, her face turned as white as a sheet. The place sounded so dirty and smelly, she would rather die than go there, but if not, what would she do when she needed to use the restroom?

Cai Qing was more relaxed than Cai Lan, suggesting, “Let’s ask Third Young Lady how to solve this problem.” In comparison to their own lady, Cai Qing thought the Third Young Lady was more reliable.

Upon hearing Cai Qing’s query, Hua Lei couldn’t help but laugh, “Haven’t you opened the wardrobe? The chamber pot is in there.”

Cai Qing hurried back to the room and indeed found the chamber pot beneath the wardrobe.

There weren’t many things, but organizing them was strenuous. They had been traveling for a whole day, walked for a significant part of it, and their bodies were exhausted, yet there were still these tasks to do. Cai Lan really didn’t want to move. She whispered, “Sister Cai Qing, let’s ask Hua Lei to come help us, shall we?” Previously in the manor, they didn’t have to do such physical labor; they would just order maids or the old nanny to do it, never experiencing such hardship.

Cai Qing glanced at Cai Lan, speaking, “Hua Lei and Qiao Lan are the Senior Maids attending the Third Young Lady. If you call them to help, be careful they might spit in your face…” Everyone knew how aggressive Hua Lei was in the manor, and with Hua Lei earning the trust of the Third Young Lady, without the strict rules of the manor on the mountain, they probably wouldn’t come help, and you might end up being scolded instead.

Cai Lan was truly too exhausted to move, their lady’s room still not fully arranged, and they still had to sort out their own rooms. Just thinking about it made Cai Lan want to lie on the bed and sleep.

Yet Cai Qing wouldn’t allow her to be lazy, urging, “Hurry up, it’s about to get dark, if we don’t finish soon, we won’t even be able to sleep tonight.” Because Yueying had delayed for so long, it was already very late when they arrived on the mountain, and they had rested for most of the day. The sun had already set.

Cai Lan had no choice but to perk up and work. After great effort in tidying Yueying’s courtyard, she heard Yueying calling them to fetch water.

Cai Lan really didn’t want to move, saying, “Sister Cai Qing, you go, please!”

Cai Qing was also very tired, but seeing Cai Lan’s condition, she had to set aside what she was doing, picking up the Copper Basin and heading to the kitchen.

The kitchen was extremely small, only allowing two people to move back and forth, but it was clear someone had cleaned it, as it also contained oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. After looking around for a while and not finding anyone, Cai Qing reluctantly asked Hua Lei who had come to the kitchen.

Hua Lei cheerfully said, “Go out, turn left, and walk for a few minutes. You’ll be there.” Nanny Hao had asked the Little Novice Monk extensively about the circumstances here.
