Chapter 118 Annoying Cicada
Su Yue was awakened by the sound of cicadas and frowned slightly. She got up and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the bright sky outside the window, feeling a little irritated.
It was so noisy! If the apple trees outside hadn't been in bloom, she would have had them all cut down.
At this time, Ren Dong came in with water for washing her face. Seeing Su Yue sitting on the bed in a daze, she said, "Young lady, you are awake. Madam just asked me to wake you up, saying that we should leave quickly before the sun gets too hot."
Su Yue scratched her hair and said irritably, "Rosewood, do you have any idea to deal with those noisy people outside?"
When Rendong heard Su Yue's irritable tone, she knew that Su Yue didn't sleep well because of the cicadas.
After she put the water for washing her face away, she thought for a moment and said, "Miss, cicadas are edible. My brothers and sisters and I used to catch cicadas and roast them for food.
Otherwise, when my family members come back later, I will ask them to catch all the cicadas in our yard, so that the girl won’t be disturbed.”
Su Yue was slightly startled, then showed a trace of curiosity: "I know that cicadas can be eaten, but I have never eaten them. And this is also a good idea. When your family comes back, let them bring the servants to catch all the cicadas in the yard and roast them for food."
Honeysuckle nodded, with a hint of excitement in her eyes. "Girl, let me tell you, the roasted cicada is delicious. Even though it is a bug, it tastes very fragrant after roasting. I have never been to school, so I don't know how to describe it, but it is very fragrant anyway."
Su Yue was intrigued by Ren Dong's words and said with a smile, "Then I am looking forward to the taste of roasted cicadas even more. By the way, where is Madam?"
"Mammy is teaching the servants in the manor the rules. She told me to wake the girl up and help her wash up. She will be here soon."
As Rendong said this, she prepared clothes for Su Yue to wear when she went out. She still wore men's clothes today to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Su Yue nodded slightly and began to wash up. While washing up, she thought about today's schedule. After putting on men's clothes, Su Yue looked as gentle as jade, and Ren Dong also dressed himself up as a boy.
After a while, Nanny Yang, who was also dressed in men's clothes, came in with breakfast. "Miss, it's hotter outside today than yesterday, so Xiao Cui cooked some porridge and pickled vegetables so that you can eat more."
Su Yue looked at the porridge and side dishes in front of her and nodded slightly: "It's really hot today and people have no appetite. This porridge and side dishes are just right."
Nanny Yang set the breakfast ready and said, "Young lady, is our schedule tight today? I am worried that the weather is so hot and your body may not be able to handle it."
Su Yue took a sip of porridge and replied, "It doesn't matter. We still have to go where we have to go."
Honeysuckle responded, "Don't worry, young lady. I will take good care of you. I will go get some bamboo hats now. They are better than umbrellas for shading the sun. I will also let them catch the cicadas."
After saying this, Ren Dong walked out quickly. Just as Su Yue finished her breakfast, Ren Dong came back with three bamboo hats, followed by several servants holding sticks and net bags.
"Miss, I just met Steward Song and told him about the cicadas in your yard. He then sent me these people and told me that they would catch the cicadas."
The servants behind Ren Dong also bowed to Su Yue: "Greetings, young lady!"
Su Yue nodded slightly: "Hurry up and catch all the cicadas in the yard to avoid disturbing others. Also, give the cicadas you catch directly to Liu Cui and let her watch over them."
After receiving the order, the servants immediately started to work in the yard. They skillfully hit the branches with sticks, trying to shake the cicadas down, and then quickly caught them in nets.
Su Yue, Nanny Yang and Rendong were also preparing to set off. As soon as they walked out of the room, a wave of heat hit them in the face, but Su Yue's eyes remained firm.
Because if she didn't go, she would have no idea how the house was built. It would be better for her to go and take a look while her body could still bear it.
In two days, the temperature will soar again. By then, if you really want to, your body will not be able to withstand the temperature outside. After all, heat stroke is no joke.
Nanny Yang quickly put the hat on Su Yue, and kept reminding her, "Girl, if you can't bear it, don't force yourself to hold on. Your health is the most important thing."
Su Yue responded: "Don't worry, Ma'am, I know my limits."
The three of them wore bamboo hats and walked towards the gate of the manor under the scorching sun. Along the way, the hot air seemed to melt people. Even the apple trees and flowers and plants on both sides of the bluestone road were a little listless under the scorching sun.
Su Yue frowned slightly. It was already this hot in the morning. If it were noon, she would probably get heatstroke if she stayed outside for a while.
It seemed that she had to finish her work before noon and then rush back to stay in the room with the ice basin.
When the three of them arrived at the gate of the manor, they were already sweating profusely and even their makeup was almost finished. At this time, Song Mingtao and Song Da, who were waiting at the door, immediately stepped forward when they saw Su Yue and her servants come out.
Song Mingtao said, "Miss, we have prepared a carriage. This will help to block the scorching sun and get us to our destination faster. Song Da will drive the carriage for you today."
Su Yue took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "But we have to go see how the house is built before we go anywhere else."
Song Mingtao replied: "Don't worry, young lady. The carriage can travel from the farm to the place where the house is built."
Su Yue was delighted when she heard this. "That's great. Let's go now. It's really too hot.
Uncle Song, you need to pay more attention to the water levels in the streams and wells. If the water levels get low, you must store a lot of water."
Song Mingtao nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, young lady. I will ask people to build a few reservoirs in the manor and buy more large vats."
Su Yue said: "That's great. Fortunately, Uncle Song is here and has helped me a lot."
The weather was hot, and Su Yue didn't want to chat anymore, so she took Nanny Yang and Rendong into the carriage. Song Da waved the whip, and the carriage moved slowly forward.
The carriage was still a little stuffy, perhaps because the ice basin had been placed there for a short time, but it was still much better than the scorching temperature outside.
After Ren Dong poured a cup of herbal tea for Su Yue and Nanny Yang, she also gulped down two cups herself. "Oh my god, she's finally alive. My clothes are all soaked with sweat."
When Nanny Yang saw Su Yue finished a cup of herbal tea, she gave the cup back to Rendong.
"Honeysuckle, pour the girl another glass."
After saying that, he looked at Su Yue who was constantly wiping her sweat, "Miss, this year's weather is really weird. It's only late April and it's already so hot. I'm sure the days ahead will get hotter and hotter. It looks like this year there will really be a severe drought as you said."
