Qibao saw that they had no reaction after drinking, and she was a little doubtful. Could it be that it had no effect? So Qibao communicated with Xiaoling in her mind and asked: "Why don't they have any reaction after drinking it?"
Xiaoling rolled his eyes and replied: "Master, what reaction do you hope they will have?"
Qibao was stunned by the question, and for a moment she didn't know how they should react.
Xiaoling explained: "That's right, if there's no reaction. This mind-controlling spell is supposed to work without anyone noticing. If there's a reaction, it means I failed to refine it."
"Alright, you can go disappear now, I'm going to eat." Qibao said.
Xiaoling rolled his eyes again and didn't say another word.
After eating the meal, Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yin got up nimbly and started to clean up the dishes, the smiles on their faces couldn't be stopped, this was the most satiating and tasty meal they had ever eaten.
Now everyone in the family needs to take a shower at night, but there are many people, so water needs to be boiled in advance.
Qibao returned to the room, followed by the maid Fu Rui. Qibao asked: "What have you done before? What do you know?"
"Reporting to Miss, I was cruelly sold to Ren Yazi by my parents, saying that they wanted to exchange money for my brother as a betrothal gift. Although I don't know much about crafts, I will definitely serve you well, Miss." Fu Rui said.
Qibao nodded and said, "I don't need you to serve me at night. You can just go back and sleep."
"Yes!"
"Okay, you go get some hot water first, I want to take a bath." Fu Rui followed the order and left.
Although Qibao could bathe in space, but the others didn't know about it, otherwise it would be hard to explain if she was misunderstood as a person who didn't bathe in all summer.
After a while, Fu Rui carried a bucket of hot water over with some difficulty. When Qibao saw this, she was afraid that she would accidentally spill the water into the house, so she reached out and took the bucket from her hand.
Fu Rui stood stunned at the door, opened her mouth wide, and stammered: "Little...Miss, you are so strong."
Qibao said calmly: "I have internal strength, so I am naturally stronger than you."
Only then did Fuli react slightly and said: "Miss, you are so awesome. You also know Kung Fu. You must be very good, right?"
Qibao glanced at her and said: "Why can't you learn it?"
Seeing Qibao's appearance, Fu Rui thought that the young miss thought she was too talkative, so she immediately knelt down and said: "I'm sorry, miss, I'm too talkative. I will never ask you again."
Qibao said: "I don't blame you, get up."
"Yes, miss, let me help you undress and take a shower. I know how to massage, it will be very comfortable."
"No, pour the water into the tub. I don't like people around when I take a bath." Qibao said.
"Yes, this slave is standing at the door. If anything happens, please call me and I can hear you."
Qibao nodded, and after seeing Fu Rui go out and close the door, she started to take off her clothes. She thought that this girl Fu Rui seemed to have a lively personality, and she could tell that from the conversation just now.
After Qibao finished her bath and changed into clean clothes, she used her spirit energy to hold the tub up.
After leaving the room, Fu Rui was startled when she saw a bathtub coming out of the room. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the young miss was holding the bathtub behind her, but the tub was much larger than the young miss's, so she didn't see it for a while.
After a while, she realized what she was doing and quickly went to help. Qibao said: "No, just dump it in the yard."
Fu Rui stretched her hand in the air and saw that the miss came back with an empty bucket after pouring the water. She immediately knelt down again and said with some tears: "Miss, did this slave do something wrong? Why didn't you let me do it? I'm afraid that Miss will dislike me."
Qibao helplessly held her forehead and said: "Can you hold this tub?"
Fu Rui was dumbfounded and shook her head.
Qibao said: "That's okay, get up quickly and go back to your sleep."
"Yes, but next time this slave girl will take a ladle, and if this slave girl can't hold it, I'll pour it one ladle at a time. In any case, I'm the one who serves the young miss, and these are the jobs that should have been done by this slave girl in the first place."
Qibao said: "Okay, as long as you don't get my room wet, that's fine. I'm sleepy, so you can go back and rest."
"Yes, miss."
When Qibao got up the next day, Fu Rui was already waiting at the door. When she heard the noise, she knocked on the door and asked: "Miss, can this slave come in?"
After hearing Qibao's response, she walked in with a basin of water and said: "Let this slave help the miss wash up."
Qibao said: "Just say your name, and don't call yourself slave-slave-slave-slave, it doesn't sound good to me at all."
"Yes, slave... Fu Rui knows."
Fu Rui waited for Qibao to finish washing, then put the basin aside, picked up the comb and started to comb her hair.
After serving Qibao, Fu Rui took the basin and left.
When Qibao came to the front hall, Ding Sheng and Chuizhu were already cleaning, especially busy and conscientious, and when they saw Qibao come in, they hurriedly saluted and greeted: "Good morning, miss."
Qibao nodded in response.
Soon Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yin brought all the prepared meals to the table, and the family started to have breakfast.
The slaves standing next to them stood behind their masters, waiting for orders at any time.
Mrs. Wang was a little unaccustomed to having so many people staring at her when eating, so she said: "Stop standing around and go eat. There is no need to wait here."
"Yes, madam."
After everyone left, Mrs. Wang said: "There are people taking care of me here, why do I feel so weird!"
Qibao said: "Grandma, you have to slowly adapt to this kind of life. Just let them do whatever they have to do. Show your sense of being the master of the family. If they do well, they will be rewarded. If they do not do well, they will be punished. You must be decisive, don't be soft-hearted."
"Ai! I listen to my sweet baby. Grandma will get used to it in the future."
The old man said: "Qibao is right. From now on, not only you have to do this, but all of us have to do it. As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules."
The others nodded and took the old man's words to heart.
After the meal, Kui Wu drove her brothers to school, and Xu Dabo exclaimed: "Do we need to buy another one for this carriage, only one feels inadequate."
Qibao thought of the three horses that were taken into the space last time and said: "Uncle doesn't need to sell, have you forgotten about our last trip to the Daqing Mountain where we collected three horses?"
Xu Dabo then remembered, it had been a long time, and he had forgotten about it. He'll going to town in two days, and will just go ahead and buy a carriage.
Since it wasn't good for her brothers to take their servants with them even when they attended the academy, they all stayed at home and helped clean their respective masters' rooms.
Mei Niang and the idle Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yin were sewing clothes for the servants.
Qibao also brought back some saltpeter when she bought it last time. She planned to make a cold drink to try.
Qibao prepared the ice cubes, took a few bottles of jam, crushed the ice cubes, put them in a bowl, poured fruit jam on top and mixed well, and cut a few fruit cubes into pieces. Qibao picked up the spoon and took a bite. It tasted pretty good, but it was incomparable to the various modern ice creams, fried ice, but it was different in ancient times.
Qibao brought several bowls of smoothies to the front hall, preparing to invite family members to come over and try them.
