Chapter 11
Yaoniang looked at the clothes on the table and her eyes were full of joy.
She was just worried about that she didn't have clothes to wear.
In fact, she came out from home with only a few clothes. She used to like pink and delicate colors, but now she didn't want to be so attractive. So instead she took some dark colored clothes. The clothes sent to her were exactly all dark.
One was stone blue; one was green, and the other two were bronze mist and sandalwood color. These colors were not suitable for Yaoniang's age, but for her identity. A wet nurse was in charge of feeding babies and she didn't need to wear too fancy.
In the last life, Yaoniang just arrived at the small lateral yard, and she received several clothes given by the top. But she thought that the color of clothes was too ugly so she wore her own clothes. Obviously it was the same thing, but she had different state of mind. It had to let people lament the impermanence of the world.
Yaoniang tried on clothes behind the folding screen. Because it was not tailor-made, it was a little bigger when she wore. But what she just wanted now was loose clothes.
Yaoniang put on her new clothes and went out.
First she asked a little girl where she could do a laundry. When she learned that the well in front of the room was available, she returned to take the clothes to wash.
Going out from the small side door next to the small building, there was a courtyard about the same size as the front one. There was a row of rooms for family dependent on the front, and on the sides there were a utility room, a kitchen, and a few dwelling houses.
There were tubs, buckets, and soaps for laundry in the utility room. These were told by Lvyao. In fact, Yaoniang knew it. It just seemed to be a little abrupt without asking.
After getting what she wanted to use, Yaoniang went to the well and threw the bucket into it to fetch water. She didn't have much strength, so she could only get half bucket of water.
With half bucket of water, she soaked her dirty clothes into a tub.
Lvyao had been watching her silently by the side, seeing that she was really ready to do some laundry, then she left without talking.
At the same time that Yaoniang was doing laundry, Cuizhu also received the clothes sent by Lv'e.
But she gave a rather dismissive glance and threw it to the side.
The material was good, but the color was a bit plain. Although she was a widow, she didn't want to be a widow all her life.
Since it was the first day they came here, Yaoniang and Cuizhu didn't need to work. There was half a day for them to settle down. However, Cuizhu was not a quiet person. So she changed her clothes and went out to talk with someone.
She always had a lively temperament. She was outgoing and kindly greeted to people in the small lateral yard. Soon she became familiar with them.
Yuyan reported the incident. Mammy Mu was calm and there was no expression on her face.
"Regardless of them, we only need to take good care of the little princess."
Yuyan nodded.

Yaoniang finished washing her clothes and drying them on the rope.
She went back for fetching some water and wiped around her room. The room seemed to be cleaned in advance, but there was still some dust could be seen at the corners.
