Queen Xiaozhuang's personal maid: Su Malagu

Chapter 9 Learning Embroidery with Pearl
(1)

Mingzhu panickedly followed Yi Na to the yurt where Su Moer, Mingzhu, Yi Na and Dalan lived.

Su Moer stood there blankly, watching Mingzhu and Yi Na go away.She didn't know whether she should go with them or not.When Mingzhu entered the yurt, she looked back at her and opened her mouth. Su Mo'er didn't know what she was talking about, so she followed.

As soon as she entered the yurt, Su Mo'er saw the fat aunt sitting there with a dark face.Yi Na and Dalan stood beside her with their heads down, while Solongaowa stood in front of Mingzhu.

Su Mo'er was at a loss, when she suddenly saw Suolong Gaowa stretching out her fat palm, and "slapped" it twice quickly, hitting Mingzhu's face, Su Moer screamed in shock.Those two slaps were so heavy that Mingzhu staggered and covered her face.Yi Na and Dalan seem to have been used to this, with no expression on their faces, their heads bowed without saying a word.

Hearing Su Moer's exclamation, Aunt Fat and Suolong Gaowa glared at her together.But soon, they looked at Mingzhu again: "It's all good things you did, and now Da Gege is dissatisfied! This month, all your monthly salary will be deducted. If you don't do it well at night, you are not allowed to sleep. Tomorrow Can't even eat!"

After Suolongaowa finished speaking, she stuffed a sleeveless jacket into Mingzhu's arms, and then glanced at Fat Auntie.

Aunt Fat stood up, walked to Mingzhu, and held her chin with her hands: "We must finish it at night, until Da Gege is satisfied. Otherwise, you will get out of the chief's house, and there are many people who want to come in." !"

After the fat aunt finished speaking, she glanced at Su Mo'er, and then winked at Suolong Gaowa: "Let's go!"

Suolongaowa took two steps, tilted her head again, and glanced at Yi Na and Dalan: "Be careful, too! Hmph!"

When Aunt Fat walked up to Su Mo'er, she glanced at her first, then stretched out her hand and squeezed her shoulder hard.Su Mo'er was so painful that tears flowed out, she couldn't stand steadily, and almost sat on the ground.Suo Longaowa also came over, reached out and rapped Su Mo'er's head heavily: "I heard that you finished washing those two baskets of clothes? You washed them quickly enough. If you find that you haven't washed them clean, your monthly salary will be reduced." No more, and you are not allowed to sleep at night. Hmph!"

Aunt Fat and Suolong Gaowa walked out of the yurt one after the other.It was not until they could no longer hear their footsteps that Yi Na and Dalan let out a long breath, lay straight on the blanket, and even said that they were lucky they were not beaten.

Su Mo'er walked up to Mingzhu and looked up at her.There are two deep slap marks on Mingzhu's face, which are red.

"It hurts." When Su Mo'er said, tears were still rolling in her eyes.

Mingzhu smiled at her and shook her head.

"What is this? Which of us has never been beaten? What a fuss!" Dalan glanced at Su Mo'er and said with a curl of his mouth.

"That's right, we are often beaten, and Mingzhu is used to it, right, Mingzhu." Yi Na put her hand on her chin and said.

Mingzhu smiled again, and said to Su Mo'er, "I'm fine. I won't tell you anymore, I want to get this vest done quickly."

After speaking, Mingzhu picked up the sleeveless jacket, sat on the brightly lit ground, and started sewing.

It's dinner time, Su Mo'er, Yi Na, and Dalan all went to eat, only Mingzhu didn't go.Su Mo'er wanted to call Mingzhu, but was stopped by Yi Na and Dalan.

"Aunt Fat and Suolongaowa won't let her eat it," Dalan said.

"Why don't you let her eat? What if she's hungry?" Su Mo'er asked.

Dalan glanced at her, but ignored her.Yi Na said: "It's okay for Mingzhu not to eat for a day. If she doesn't make Da Gege's waistcoat well tonight, don't say that she can't eat dinner or sleep today, even tomorrow she won't be allowed to eat."

After hearing this, Su Mo'er felt sorry for Mingzhu.

"Oh, if Suolong Gaowa asked Mingzhu to do it earlier, Da Gege would not be dissatisfied. Mingzhu's embroidery is so good." Ina said with a sigh.

Su Mo'er was a little puzzled.

"Didn't the waistcoat be made by Miss Mingzhu?" she asked.

"How can Mingzhu be so bad? Mingzhu's female celebrity is the best here. She does the embroidery on Da Gege and Er Gege's clothes." Yi Na said.

"Then...then why did Suolongaowa beat her?"

"Suolongaowa wanted to please Da Gege, saying that she could do the embroidery on the waistcoat, so she tried to show off, but Da Gege was dissatisfied with the embroidery," Yi Na said.

"Suolongaowa's hand is like a black bear's paw. Are you satisfied with the big grid embroidered? It's not as good as mine. Now it's all right, let's be scolded by big grid." Dalan raised his eyebrows, He said with a flick of his mouth.

Su Mo'er understood that Suolongaowa was trained by Dage, so she vented her anger on Mingzhu, not only beating her, but also asking her to do it again.

"Miss Mingzhu is so pitiful!" Su Mo'er whispered.

After a busy day, Su Mo'er fell asleep early.But soon, she was awakened by a slight "ouch".

This was Su Mo'er's first night away from home, and she didn't sleep well.She opened her eyes, and under the faint light, Mingzhu was putting her hand to her mouth, sucking gently.

Su Mo'er looked around. Yi Na and Dalan were sleeping soundly, and Yi Na's feet were on Dalan's lap.Su Mo'er got up quietly and walked to Mingzhu's side.Mingzhu raised her head slightly, lowered her head and continued to work, and whispered, "Did it wake you up?"

Su Mo'er shook her head, and said in a low voice, "You gotta tie your hands, I'll do it with you!"

Mingzhu shook her head: "This can only be done by one person. I was a little sleepy just now, but I didn't expect to be pricked by a needle. You should go to sleep!"

"I can't sleep anymore, let me accompany you, so that you won't doze off, and you won't get your hands stuck." Su Mo'er said.

Mingzhu glanced at Su Mo'er gratefully, then buried herself in embroidery again.Su Moer found that the needle used by Mingzhu was different from the one she usually used, so she asked, "Why is this needle different from the one I use?"

"This is an embroidery needle, specially used for embroidery." Mingzhu said.

"Are these threads also used for embroidery?" Su Moer asked curiously as she looked at the colorful silk threads beside the Pearl.She had never seen so many beautiful silk threads when she was studying female red with her neighbor's aunt before.

"Yes." Mingzhu nodded, then looked up at Su Mo'er.

"Want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you!"

"I think! Can you really teach me?" Su Mo'er looked at Mingzhu excitedly, and her voice raised.

"Shh!" Mingzhu put her finger to her mouth for a while, then looked at Yi Na and Dalan who were sleeping soundly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Keep your voice down, it's not good to wake them up." gone."

Su Mo'er shrank her neck, and smiled at Mingzhu.

"Look carefully, I'll teach you as I embroider." Mingzhu started talking to Su Mo'er from embroidery needles and colored threads.When Mingzhu needs to change the line, Su Mo'er will also hand it over in time.The two of them talked and worked in such low voices until the sky turned white.

"It's almost dawn!" Su Mo'er said, looking at the light coming in from outside.

"There are still a few stitches left, and the embroidery will be finished soon." Mingzhu's hand moved quickly like a shuttle.Su Mo'er's eyes were also fixed on her hand, turning up and down, left and right with her hand.After the last stitch, Mingzhu straightened her back and smiled at Su Moer: "Thank you, Su Moer!"

"Thank me?" Su Mo'er was a little puzzled.

"If I didn't have you by my side, I might not be able to finish it." Mingzhu said.

Su Moer shook her head desperately.

"No, I want to thank you! You taught me how to embroider, and you embroider so beautifully! These flowers and birds seem to be alive." Su Mo'er looked at the lifelike flowers and birds on her vest, and said enviously.

"You will be able to embroider so beautifully in the future, I will teach you when I have time. There is still a little time now, let's go to sleep for a while, otherwise we will not be energetic during the day, and there will be a lot of clothes waiting for us to wash during the day." Mingzhu He grabbed Su Mo'er's hand and said.

Su Mo'er let Mingzhu lead her and walked to the sleeping place.When she was lying down, the flowers and birds embroidered by Mingzhu kept appearing in her mind.She was a little excited, and said to herself in her heart: "Su Mo'er, you will be as good at embroidering as Miss Mingzhu in the future!"
