Housekeeper of the Hundred Blossom Palace

Episode 5 Aunt Yang and Beauty Wang

The next morning, Yumei wakes up on her own floor mat.

I would like to thank you for not being in a state where you can't sleep if your pillows or beds change.

Rain sister, who cleaned the bed and dressed herself, goes to the dining room to eat.

If what we talked about yesterday today is cleaning the interior of that building.

Indoors may use more energy to clean furniture.

You have to eat it carefully, and you're eating mollusks.

"Can I have a minute?

Yesterday Rain's sisters were called by the aunt they first met.

She is Yang Yuling (Jan Yulin) and seems to be in a position to supervise and mentor the Miyagis.

……

I think I have to answer something, but I can't swallow it because my cheeks are full.

"Wait, don't clog your throat."

Aunt Yang said so with an astonishing face.

Rain sister is not a foodie, it is bad that the rice here is delicious.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yu asked again.

"What is it?

"The king asked me to clean up yesterday's daughter today."

"... Beauty Wang?

My sister raised her eyebrows to the name she heard for the first time.

Aunt Yang looked stunned again.

"Why didn't you know? You must be the one who cleaned the king's beauty yesterday."

--Ah, the owner of yesterday's building!

What a beauty she is.

Same as my mother, the intimacy of Rain sister increased again on my own.

"There was no advance explanation, and I thought it would be rude to ask him."

"Absolutely, that girl...."

When Sister Yu explained the situation yesterday, Aunt Yang's expression became steep.

You didn't think that caretaker woman was saying anything.

When I heard the story again, Wang Beauty was worried about Yu's reaction yesterday and talked directly to Aunt Yang.

"I went there to listen to you and see how you were doing, but you did that in half a day. And alone."

"Cleaning is guidelines and planning."

It is important to keep the cleaning order and determine the range to this point.

Yesterday, I was glad that it was cut when I only cleaned the outdoors.

"... you know the hard words."

After Aunt Yang turned her confused gaze towards Yu sister, she sighed loudly.

"Only Sister Rain has worked so hard since my first day here. The other daughters just listen to the caregivers and they don't work."

My God, it seems that Rain didn't intend to let her work on her first day either.

Everything is said to be the runaway of that caretaker.

"Actually, if I was with the rookie, I thought I'd be working with that plum."

It seems that the caretaker's name is Li Mei.

And it seems like a shrine lady with a sagging habit.

--If you knew the situation, couldn't you turn the others around?

The Mansion looked terrible, just as it was dusty.

It would have been nothing if I had cleaned it frequently, but it became a difficult property to clean because I left it for a long time.

I could have placed another person without insisting on getting Plum to do it. Or maybe there is something about it that I can't do.

After all, it's the backyard where women's grievances swirl.

"Anyway, I asked you to clean the Mansion of the Beauty King."

Aunt Yang said so and left a bun wrapped in cloth on the table.

- Yes, today's snack!

So when Yu sister, who had finished eating, went to the place yesterday with the cleaning tools, the king's beauty and his children were waiting.

"I'm going away now, please clean up in the meantime."

That's what the kid says.

"I see. Is there anything you shouldn't touch?

"... pots and mirrors are gifts from His Majesty, please treat them with all your heart"

To check on Yu's sister, the boy narrowed his eyes for a moment before answering.

When we drop off the two of you, we'll start cleaning.

First, wear a headscarf and a mask cloth, just like yesterday, to make yourself look like a cleaner.

Sorry to bother you.

There's nobody here, but he opens the door and enters.

--Hmm, the air is kind of dusty indoors.

Rain sister first opens the window to circulate the air.

Although it is warmer than the border, the wind is still cold, so neither the beauty of the king nor his children may open the window.

If it had been cleaned, I would have ventilated it.

"I finally got the cleaning crew to turn around," the kid said, so it would be dusty because the cleaning itself hasn't been done for a long time.

If Wang Beauty were a Motomiya woman, as Yu's sister guessed, this dust condition would have been difficult.

It would be quick if you could clean it yourself, but you shouldn't clean it when you're great.

Cleaning is the job of the Miyagi, and if the king beauty does it herself, the other queen will make a fool of her.

In that case, the position within the rear palace becomes worse.

--The emperor's wife's family business is tough.

Don't get sentimental later.

After replacing the air, peel off the futon on the floor mat (hare) and take it out. Dry it in a sunny spot on the railway trunk just cleaned yesterday, and hit it with the bamboo pole part of the handmade stick to remove dust.

"Fuah, dusty!

An incredible amount of dust came out.

Wouldn't it stop sneezing if I slept every night with this?

I feel like it would be miserable if I had allergies.

Then move the small things indoors and put them in one place outside.

Put the pot and mirror down from the shelf, which is a gift from His Majesty, and keep them in a visible place just in case.

To make sure it doesn't break, you just have to leave it where it doesn't break from the beginning.

Once these tasks have been completed, the procedure will be the same as yesterday.

Remove the dust from the ceiling with a splash, sweep the floor dust, and wipe off the finish.

Especially around the floor where dust tends to accumulate.

I ate the buns that Aunt Yang gave me during the break and cleaned them all day, and today it was over before the sun tilted.

Remove dust from small objects, pots and mirrors and return to the original position.

"Yeah, isn't that good?

My sister Yu admires herself for doing a good job, and the beauty of the king just came back.

Rain sister lowers her head when she takes off her headscarf and mask cloth.

"Well, it's pretty now. And it's easy to breathe."

Congratulations.

The children rejoice together with the king's beauty who is impressed and smiles at the state of the dusty room.

"Um, is something wrong?

Rain sister, who was caught in the words of Wang Beauty, asks as she thinks it might be extra.

Then the king's beauty answered without deception.

"No, I've been coughing for a long time.

Sometimes it won't stop for a long time when it's bad.

Still, it's not as bad as when I was a kid. "

--Does Beauty Wang have asthma?

The dusty condition would have been painful.

And to tell you more, they were more likely to cough when they were indoors, so they went out from morning to sunset, took walks, and spent time in sunny places.

What a struggle it is that it is still a cold season in the wind.

"I think the cough will be fine now that I've cleaned it properly.

And if possible, it's easier to boil water indoors and add moisture in these dry seasons.

It also helps prevent colds. "

As a nurse in my previous life, I want to give advice and accidentally bake mediation.

"Well, is that so?

"I heard a good thing."

Next to the round eyes of the king's beauty, the gentleman nods.

I will arrange for hot water at once.

"Thank you so much for cleaning. What's your name?

Rain sister.

Asked by Wang Beauty to thank him, Yu Sister takes his name.

"Yes, Sister Rain. This is a thank you."

That's what Beauty Wang handed over to her son's preacher was steamed bread.

A slightly castella-like scent irritates the stomach before dinner.

"Can I have it?

"Of course, I told you. And thank you."

Cleaning is my sister's job and I am not thanked.

But I was delighted by the feelings of the beauty of the king, who didn't take it for granted.

Well then, I'll take it.

Wang Beauty smiled at her rainy sister who couldn't help but get a snack.

"Besides me, I'm glad this building is as beautiful as it used to be."

Wang Beauty talks to Yu sister who blinks her eyes.

"Here, there lived a beautiful woman in front of me. I have heard from His Majesty one day that he was very kind."

Rain's sister's chest squeaks.

I don't think so, but isn't the beauty about my mother?

What is said in the past means that he is not in the rear palace now.

There should be more women as beautiful as they are, but there shouldn't be so many who have been kicked out.

Mother was expelled from the rear palace early and spent only a short period of time as a beauty, but it is possible.

If so, was Rain sister born here?

I told myself I was halfway through the birth story, but this "maybe" is hardly going away.

― ― Discovering my parents' home (provisional).

"Call me and I'll come back for cleaning."

Sister Yu said so and left the scene in gratitude.
