Finally Clean

Gu Yundong was a little annoyed, but she could not catch up with him now that he had left.

Fortunately, she was staying at his Aunt Ke’s house now, so she could meet him eventually. She was not afraid that he would go back on his word.

Gu Yundong shook her head regretfully and left the teahouse.

It was already a little late. The people on the street had started to pack up their stalls and go home.

When they saw the dirty Gu Yundong, they covered their noses in disdain and stayed far away.

Gu Yundong originally wanted to take a look at the environment of the prefecture capital. Seeing this, she hurriedly quickened her pace. She did not feel it just earlier, but now, she suddenly felt a little itchy and very uncomfortable.

When she reached Aunt Ke’s house, she could vaguely hear voices coming from inside.

Pushing open the courtyard door, she saw Gu Yunshu and his sister sitting on small stools. They obediently raised their heads and listened to Auntie Ke.

Madam Yang squatted beside the well and washed the clothes.

There was only one set of clothes that they could change into. It was also very difficult to find a pond for them to wash and dry clothes on the way, so both sets of clothes were dirty and not easy to wear.

Currently, Gu Yunshu and his sister’s clothes should have been borrowed by Aunt Ke from next door. They did not fit well on them, but at least they were clean and comfortable. The clothes on Madam Yang should be Aunt Ke’s. They were a little short.

Aunt Ke was facing the door, so she was the first to see her. She immediately pursed her lips and said to her, “You’re so dirty. Hurry up and wash up. I’ve also borrowed clothes for you. They’re in the west wing. Go get them yourself.”

When Madam Yang and the other two heard this, they immediately turned to look at her with relieved smiles on their faces.

Aunt Ke snorted. “You’re back so late. All of them thought that you’ll leave and never come back. They’re also distracted from work and don’t have the energy to talk because of this.”

Madam Yang and Gu Yunke did not react much to her words, but Gu Yunshu was already sensible. When he heard this, he could not help but blush and say softly, “We’re just worried about Eldest Sister.”

Gu Yundong went forward and rubbed his head. “Eldest Sister won’t leave. You guys talk first. I’ll go wash up.”

She entered the west wing. The room was not big, but it was clean and tidy. The light and ventilation were not bad, making people feel comfortable.

Madam Yang brought in hot water for her to wash with after she changed her clothes.

Gu Yundong took a comfortable hot shower. Aunt Ke’s house did not have a big bathtub, so she could only wipe herself a few times while using a basin. But even so, it was already very good. At least after washing, she felt as if she weighed a few pounds less.

After changing her clothes and letting her wet hair down, Gu Yundong walked out of the room in high spirits.

At this moment, the sky was already a little dark. Madam Yang and the others were not in the courtyard. Instead, there was a slight movement from the kitchen.

Gu Yundong looked over and saw Aunt Ke making pancakes and porridge. Madam Yang was tending the fire.

Aunt Ke was surprised to see her enter. Although she could tell that this family was pretty good-looking after Madam Yang and the other two washed their faces, she was still a little dazed when she saw Gu Yundong.

If a clean and refreshing young lady like her ate better and gained some weight, she would really not be described only as delicate and pretty anymore.

Snapping out of her daze, Auntie Ke quickly coughed lightly and said, “I saw that you guys didn’t have much to eat after traveling all day. For the sake of the three taels of silver, I’ll buy dinner today. But let me make it clear first. You have to get food yourself tomorrow. I won’t care.”
