Queen Xiaozhuang's personal maid: Su Malagu

Chapter 8 The Laundry Room Struggle
(1)

Su Mo'er finally entered the chief's house and worked in the laundry room.

The fat woman is the steward of the laundry.There are four people in the laundry room. Besides the fat woman, there are three girls who are older than Su Moer.The oldest among them is Suolong Gaowa, 16 years old, the niece of the fat woman.Suolongaowa looks like a fat woman, black and strong, with a fierce look.

On the first day Su Mo'er came, Suolongaowa looked at her with hostility.

"The new one is you?" She said with disdainful eyes like a fat woman, curling her fat lips.

"Yes, my name is Su Moer!" Su Moer whispered.

"You with thin arms and legs, can you afford a piece of clothing?" Solongaowa twisted Su Mo'er's arm hard.

Su Mo'er was in so much pain that she was about to burst into tears, but she held back her tears and shrank her arms.

"I can!" she said.

"Okay? Then you can wash all these clothes!" Solongaowa glared at Su Mo'er, pointed at a pretty girl next to her and shouted: "Mingzhu, bring the clothes from those two bamboo baskets, Let her wash!"

Mingzhu looked at the two full baskets of clothes, but did not move.

"Don't drag it here soon?" Solongaowa stomped her feet vigorously, and Mingzhu backed away with her head lowered in fright.

"Drag it here!" Suolongaowa yelled again, with a shrill voice.

Mingzhu slowly dragged two bamboo baskets of clothes to Su Mo'er.She glanced at Su Mo'er, then at Suolongaowa timidly.

"This...so many clothes, she...she, let me wash with her!" Mingzhu said cautiously.

"Do you want to wash?" Solongaowa stared at Mingzhu.

"If you want to help her, you have to wash them all by yourself! Hmph! And you are not allowed to eat if you can't finish washing!" Solongaowa gave Mingzhu and Su Mo'er another look, turned and left.Seeing her walking away, Mingzhu let out a long breath.Unexpectedly, Solongaowa turned back again.

"You!" She pointed at Su Mo'er.

"After washing all these, you have to wash them clean. If you don't wash them clean, you are not allowed to eat. No, you can't even sleep at night if you don't wash them!" Suolongaowa finished speaking, and stared at Mingzhu again. She was about to leave when suddenly look around.

"Where are Yi Na and Daran? Where did they die?"

"They...they...they seem to..." Mingzhu dawdled for time, thinking to herself: "Yina, Dalan, come quickly! It's all Yina's fault, she's so greedy, she can't leave when she sees food in the kitchen Moving on."

"Where did they go again? Did they go off to be lazy?" Suolong Gaowa's thick black eyebrows were raised high, and she stomped her feet, and the dust flew up instantly.

"No... no, they..." Mingzhu's forehead was sweating, and she thought, "It's over, it's over, Yi Na and Dalan will suffer."

"Here we are!" said a somewhat hoarse voice.

Mingzhu stroked her chest and let out a long breath.

The one with the hoarse voice was Dalan, who ran in front, and the fat Yi Na followed her, panting.

"Where did you go?" Suolongaowa rushed in front of them and kicked each of their legs.

"We..." Yi Na swallowed, and was about to speak when Dalan interrupted her.

"Suolongaowa, Big Gege wants us to go there, saying that there are clothes for..."

"Then hurry up!" Solongaowa glared at them before Dalan finished speaking, and said to Mingzhu, "You, come with us too, just leave her here to wash."

After finishing speaking, Suolongaowa ran away with a bang.Yi Na and Dalan looked at each other, meaning that they were lucky to meet Da Gege's maid.They stuck out their tongues at Mingzhu and followed.Mingzhu took two steps slowly, turned to Su Mo'er, and said hesitantly, "I...I..."

Su Mo'er looked up at her, showing a sweet smile, and she said, "My name is Su Mo'er, and I will wash all these!"

"You...can really wash all these?" Mingzhu looked at her in disbelief.

"Yes! I can! I can definitely finish washing!" Su Mo'er said, rolling up her sleeves.

"Oh, then wash it quickly, there is water in the big wooden bucket over there, if you..." Before Mingzhu finished speaking, she heard Suolongaowa's cry again: "Mingzhu, where did you die? Come soon!"

"I'm leaving, you wash it! She won't give you food if you don't finish washing, and she will beat you, and..." She didn't continue, fearing to scare Su Mo'er.

Su Mo'er nodded gratefully to Mingzhu and said, "Go quickly, I will finish washing."

"It needs to be washed clean, otherwise I will find you trouble." Mingzhu said again.

Su Mo'er nodded.

Then Mingzhu smiled at Su Moer: "My name is Mingzhu, see you tonight."

"Yes." Su Mo'er nodded heavily.

Seeing Mingzhu disappear, Su Mo'er smiled. She felt that she had her first friend here, and she liked Mingzhu.

In a small yurt, Yi Na and Da Lan were washing clothes for Da GeGe while chatting quietly.

"I wish I could come here to wash clothes for Big Ge every day, it's so comfortable!" Yi Na said.

"Yeah, it's much easier for us to have a newcomer. I hope that little girl can work for a few more days, and don't get kicked out after working for a day. There are so many men's clothes to be washed every day, and I am exhausted. , I’m still comfortable here.” Dalan stretched and said.

"Yes, but that newcomer is so pitiful!" Yi Na shook her head, turned her head to see Ming Zhu's preoccupied look, and asked suspiciously: "Ming Zhu, what are you thinking? How easy is our work today? Are you not happy at all?"

"We're relaxed, but that Su Mo'er... I'm afraid she won't be able to finish washing those clothes. She is so young, but she has to do so much work." Mingzhu sighed, stood up and took the clothes to dry .

"Su Moer? Who is Su Moer?" Yi Na blinked.

"That's stupid, that's the new, skinny girl." Dalan said, glaring at Ina.

"Oh, her name is Su Mo'er. She's very pitiful, she's very thin, and she has to wash the clothes we usually do when the three of us do it. It's so pitiful." Yi Na shook her round head and said.

"Every newcomer is the same." Dalan said indifferently.

"But she is young, only seven years old!" Mingzhu said.

"Seven years old? Is she seven years old? I thought she was five years old." Yi Na's eyes widened.

"Who made her look so thin? Who made her come to the laundry room? I heard that she still begged to come in. Hmph! Don't you want to come in and have a good meal?" Dalan said with a sneer.

"Oh, how pitiful." Yi Na shook her head again, picked up a piece of clothing, and rubbed it slowly.

Mingzhu finished drying her clothes outside, walked up to the two of them, and asked in a low voice, "Where did that... that Solongaowa... go?"

"It was still there just now, maybe I hid somewhere and slept. I didn't work before, and now there is a new one, so I definitely don't work anymore." Yi Na said dissatisfied.

"Then...then...I think..." Mingzhu said tentatively.

"You can say whatever you want, hesitating, say it!" Dalan glared at Mingzhu.

"I...I want to help Su Mo'er do the laundry, can you..." Mingzhu didn't continue, and stopped to see the reactions of Yi Na and Da Lan.

"What?" Ina asked.

"Stupid!" Dalan glanced at Yi Na.

"What stupid, didn't she make it clear!" Yi Na pouted.

"She wants us to hide from Fat Aunt and Solongaowa!" Dalan said.

"Yeah, yeah." Mingzhu looked around and nodded.

"Mingzhu is stupid. It's been a relaxing day. After finishing work early, I'm going to help that Su Mo'er do the laundry." Yi Na shrugged her nose and snorted twice.

"She's too young, I..." Mingzhu didn't finish speaking, and pulled Yi Na and Da Lan.

"Okay? Don't tell Suolong Gaowa and Aunt Fat, okay?" Mingzhu begged.

Yi Na looked at Dalan, and Dalan said: "Go as you like, anyway, we don't know anything, we haven't seen anything! If Aunt Fat and Suolongaowa see it, it doesn't matter if we beat you or scold you." thing."

After Dalan finished speaking, he turned his head aside.

Mingzhu nodded, wiped her hands, and slipped quietly outside.Yi Na looked at Ming Zhu's back and whispered, "Is she really gone?"

Dalan glared at her, but said nothing.

"Bless the gods, Aunt Fat and Suolongaowa don't come here, and don't ask us where Mingzhu has gone." Yi Na muttered softly.

Dalan glared at her again, curled his lips, and let out a "hum".

The two of them washed the things in their hands one after another, and looked at the sun outside from time to time.They have to wait for the sun to go down before they can be free to do whatever they want.

After finally waiting for the sun to go down, Yi Na said happily: "It's great! We can go play." After finishing speaking, she whispered: "It's even better that Aunt Fat and Solongaowa didn't come, hehe ..."

"Why are you laughing? Why are you happy? You should be happy today! Just a few clothes for a day."

A voice that startled Yi Na sounded from outside, and Yi Na secretly cried out in her heart: Oops!
Suolongaowa dragged her heavy body and walked in yawning.Ina glanced at Dalan, who gave her a wink and told her to go away.The two of them had just started walking when they were stopped by Suolongaowa again: "Have you finished washing?"

"Yes, we've finished washing and we're going to dry the clothes!" Yi Na smiled and took another step, only to hear Suolongaowa ask, "Where is the Pearl? Where did the Pearl go?"

Ina squinted at Dalan.

Dalan pretended to be calm and said, "Mingzhu has just been washed and left."

"Gone? So fast?" Suolongaowa yawned again. She had just hid in a place to sleep, and was woken up by several people, but she still hasn't woken up.

"Mingzhu works very fast." Dalan said.

"Which ones did she wash? I'm going to check to see if they're clean? These are all Da Gege's clothes. Da Gege loves clean the most." Suolongaowa said, walking out of the yurt.

Yi Na whispered: "It's over." Dalan also screamed in his heart. If Suolong Gaowa went to see Mingzhu's clothes to dry, he would know that Mingzhu had washed and dried very early.If she finds out that she went to help Su Mo'er wash clothes, she might drive Mingzhu away too.

"That..." Dalan opened his mouth and was about to attract Suolongaowa's attention when he suddenly saw Da Gege's maid running over.

"Suolongaowa! Big Gege wants you to go there." The maid shouted.

When Suolong Gaowa heard Da Gege call her, she hurriedly agreed, and happily ran to Da Gege's yurt together with the maid.Dalan and Yi Na looked at each other, stroked their chests and let out a long sigh of relief.

After drying the clothes, Dalan and Yi Na quickly ran to the laundry room, and they wanted to report to Mingzhu.

As soon as I entered the laundry room, I found that there was no one there, not only Mingzhu was not there, but Su Moer was not there either.

"Where did they go? Run away?" Ina said.

"Let's go to dry the clothes!" Dalan said, looking at the empty bamboo basket that was originally pretending to be like a hill.

"So fast!" Ina's eyes widened.

"Let's go! Let's take a look." Dalan said, but the man had already disappeared.

Yi-na freezes as she catches up to Da-lan, panting.The clothes swayed gently in the evening wind under the setting sun, like erecting layers of barriers on the grassland.

"The two of them finished washing so quickly? Isn't it too fast!" Yi Na whispered, twitching her tongue.

Usually, when there are so many clothes to be washed, the three of them, and sometimes Suolong Gaowa, will finish washing together until the sun goes down.

"It seems that our worries are unnecessary!" Dalan said angrily.

"It's so fast, haven't you washed it clean?" Yi Na said, wanting to go closer and have a look.

"Don't read it, I've read it, it's cleaner than yours." After Dalan finished speaking, he turned his head and walked back.

"Dalan, where is Mingzhu?" Yi Na pulled her and asked.

"Hmm..." Dalan pointed to the front.

Yi Na saw two pairs of feet from under the barriers.

"Pearl!" Ina called.

Mingzhu pulled off her clothes and exposed her head. When she saw Yi Na and Da Lan, she took Su Mo'er's hand and ran over.

"You guys are here? Did Gege's clothes get washed?" Mingzhu asked.

Yi Na pouted and said, "You guys have finished washing so much, of course we have already finished washing that spot! It's just that we are afraid that we will arrange work again, so we haven't dried it."

"It's amazing! The two of you finished washing so quickly, it seems that the laundry room is enough for the two of you." Dalan's tone was a little weird, even a little resentful.She glanced at Su Mo'er, and found that Su Mo'er was smiling sweetly, looking at her with a pair of bright black eyes, and she didn't hear the sting in her words at all.

Mingzhu heard Dalan's unfriendliness, and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't help her. When I came from there, she was almost washed. By the way, are Aunt Fatty and Suolongaowa okay?" Ask about us?"

Dalan didn't speak, and Yi Na said: "Yes, Suolongaowa asked you just now. We said you just left. Fortunately, Da Gege's maid was looking for her at that time, otherwise... Maybe you will find that you left early Well. At that time, if you know that you are helping her, it will be over."

"Oh, it's dangerous!" Mingzhu said with a sigh.

"Bayarila!" Su Mo'er bowed her head to them and said.

……

As the sky darkened, Su Mo'er stood on the grassland, the cold moonlight poured down, and stars twinkled in the sky.Near the chief’s yurt, some people were eating barbecue and drinking fine wine.There is also brisk music playing around, making the night on the grassland extremely beautiful.

Su Moer looked in the direction of her home and murmured, "Is Abu getting better? What do Abu and Aha eat?" Su Moer thought silently, tears streaming down her cheeks.

The busy day made her temporarily forget her homesickness, but when she calmed down, her mind was full of father and brothers.

"I'm homesick!"

Su Mo'er heard a voice say.She turned around and saw Mingzhu standing behind her.

Su Mo'er nodded and asked, "Are you homesick?"

Mingzhu was silent for a while, then shook her head.

"You don't want to go home?" Su Mo'er asked in surprise.

"I don't have a home." After Mingzhu finished speaking, she looked at Su Mo'er who was stunned, and said with a light smile, "I should say that I don't know where my home is."

"Then... what about your Abu and Erji?" Su Mo'er asked with her head tilted.Although she has never met her mother, she knows that she has a mother, and she often hears her father and brother mentioning her mother.

"I don't know!" Mingzhu sighed, looked at Su Mo'er and said, "I really envy you. Although you lost your mother a long time ago, you have a father and a brother."

Su Mo'er nodded with a half understanding.

"I'm Han, not Mongolian." Mingzhu looked around and whispered.

"Ah, Han people?" Su Moer's eyes widened.

"Yes, I was abducted and sold here by human traffickers." There were tears in Mingzhu's eyes.

"When I was just sensible, I was abducted by human traffickers, sold here and there, and finally sold here. I only know that my father and mother are Han Chinese, and I don't know anything else. I..."

Before Mingzhu finished speaking, she suddenly saw Yi Na waving at them from a distance.

"Let's go, Yi Na called us! I'm older than you, so you can call me Sister Mingzhu from now on!" Mingzhu said, holding Su Mo'er's hand.

"Miss Mingzhu!" Su Mo'er called softly.Mingzhu's hand was very warm. At that moment, Su Mo'er felt very happy.

Before the two of them ran to Yi Na, Yi Na said to Ming Zhu: "Hurry up! Ming Zhu, Aunt Fat and Suolong Gaowa are looking for you, and they are still losing their temper."
