Chapter 3 Laundry

Mei Xiang and Su Wanqing chatted with each other and told each other to be careful. Mei Xiang forcibly handed over a steamed bun she had saved to Su Wanqing, "Second Miss, take this and don't be hungry. Mei Xiang didn't dare to stay here for fear of being found out and causing trouble. If there is a chance, Meixiang will come to see the second lady again.

"Mei Xiang, you are injured. Keep this for yourself. I'm fine. Before I came to the general's mansion, I was full at home." Su Wanqing pushed the steamed bread back to Meixiang, and she knew that Meixiang's situation was also very difficult.

Mei Xiang didn't care so much and insisted on stuffing the steamed bread in Su Wanqing's hand. "Miss Er, be more careful. Mei Xiang has left."

Su Wanqing held a steamed bun in her hand and felt very uncomfortable. If it's in Sufu, not to mention a steamed bun, even bird's nest shark fins are not rare. I only want to eat, and I have every meal. However, unlike in the past, even a steamed bun is precious in this unpopular general's mansion.

Su Wanqing couldn't eat anything at this time. She put away the steamed buns. In this strange general's mansion, she may be in danger at any time. Maybe this steamed bun can save her life at the most critical moment.

Although the environment is worrying, in order to preserve her physical strength and deal with various unknown dangers tomorrow, Su Wanqing still tried to calm herself down and fell asleep against the lounge chair.

At dawn, the chirping sparrows looked around in his ears, and Su Wanqing was woken up.

Throughout the night, I had countless nightmares, which were shocked step by step. It was easier to wake up than staying in a nightmare, but my mind was still drowsy.

Su Wanqing stretched out and slept on the lounge chair. She was really uncomfortable, and her waist and back were sore.

"One two three four, two three four..." Su Wanqing did radio gymnastics in the dilapidated yard.

"Aunt Su, it's comfortable and a little interesting." A strange voice interrupted Su Wanqing's movement rhythm. She looked back and couldn't help frowning.

"Who do I think I am so early? It turned out that Butler Guo came. What's the matter?" Su Wanqing said and continued to do stretching exercises, as if she regarded Guo Danian as air.

Guo Danian clenched his fist and sneered, "Well, I don't know what's wrong these days. Those women are either sick, or the contract has arrived, and some of them are married by their wives. There are so many clothes and fabrics to be washed in the house, which is the time when there is a shortage of manpower.

"If Butler Guo has something to say, you might as well say it directly. I hate beating around the bush the bush the most." Su Wan said lightly that she had actually guessed eight or nine points in her heart, but she still wanted Guo Danian to say it herself.

"Since Aunt Su is so cheerful, I won't be polite. This morning, the third master ordered that our general's mansion would not support idle people and ask Aunt Su to go to the raccoon room to help the girls. Guo Danian looks proud.

Thinking of Su Wanqing's ridiculing of him last night, he was not angry. No matter what she is, how about Miss Sufu? What about the aunt of the general's mansion? As long as the third master doesn't like you, you still have to do the cheap thing of washing clothes. Humph! If you are right with me, I think you are not even as good as an ant.

"Okay, when will it be over?" Su Wanqing asked.

Guo Danian was immediately surprised. He thought that Su Wanqing was either making a lot of noise or crying. He didn't expect her to be so indifferent, just like this didn't happen to her. He is also an old man in the general's mansion. There are many people he has seen in the world, but he has never seen Su Wanqing.

Su Wanqing saw that Guo Danian was stunned. She paused and continued to say, "Housekeeper Guo, when did the third master let you go? In addition, when I first arrived, I was not familiar with the place in the house. I didn't know how to get to the raccoon room. I also bothered Butler Guo to find someone to show me the way.

Guo Danian came to his senses, cleared his throat and said, "It's already dawn. The raccoon room has already started work. I'm afraid it's too late to go now. Just follow me!"

Guo Danian has always been pretentious. He wanted to find a servant to lead Su Wanqing there, but he wanted to deliberately make trouble for Su Wanqing, so he personally led him there.

Along the way, he met Guo Danian's maids and her maids and maids. Guo Danian was so proud that he couldn't help humming a little song, which was crooked and difficult to hear.

Su Wanqing walked behind and frowned. This song should only be in hell. How can the world hear it?

"Housekeeper Guo, what brings you here?" As soon as she entered the yard of the raccoon room, a middle-aged woman began to flatter, with a smile on her face, and her facial features were almost distorted.

"This summer, a hot person is called a irritable person. If it can really blow me a little, it will be refreshing." As soon as Butler Guo said this, someone immediately took a fan to fan, which was so comfortable!

"Aunt Zhang, I came here to see you today, and I will go to the Three Treasures Hall. The main thing is that I have something to ask you!" Butler Guo deliberately modestly, but his tone was high, as if he didn't pay attention to anyone.

"Look at what you said, what are you talking about! But it broke me. If there is anything wrong with your housekeeper Guo, just say it directly. Why don't you ask? Aunt Zhang flattered.

"That's polite." Butler Guo smiled and then continued, "This matter is actually not my business. It is the order of the third master. Naturally, we have to do our best to do it."

Su Wanqing listened and couldn't help feeling helpless. Isn't it just to arrange her into the raccoon room? As for so much nonsense? I really picked up a sesame thing and thought I was amazing.

"What Butler Guo said is that you can tell me if you have anything." Aunt Zhang said, with a respectful tone and a trace of flattery.

"Although the marriage of this third master is not a pleasant thing, I believe you also know it. This is not true. In order to make amends, the Su family was afraid of offending our general's mansion and sent their second daughter again. The third master said that the eldest daughter was not chaste, and the second daughter must not be much better. He was too lazy to clean up, so he arranged to come to you. Butler Guo said and pointed to Su Wanqing.

"Well, the third master is the old lady's favorite grandson. He wanted to have a marriage for him gloriously, but I didn't expect that it was really unfortunate for the family to encounter such a thing!" Aunt Zhang said.

"The third master is also very annoyed. He wants to teach his Su's daughter, but he hasn't figured out what to do. Now that Aunt Su has come here, you..." Butler Guo didn't say anything. He waited for Aunt Zhang to make a statement.

Aunt Zhang naturally understood the meaning of the housekeeper Guo and immediately said interestingly, "It's not to say that the Su family's daughter corrupts the family tradition, and even others can't tolerate it. What's more, in our country of Chu, if any daughter does such a vulgar thing, thousands of people will scold thousands of people, and the husband can deal with it no matter what they want. It's good not to be killed."

Housekeeper Guo raised his eyebrows and smiled. His goal was achieved, but he did not forget to clean himself up and said, "However, this crime is the eldest lady of the Su family, and the second lady of the Su family is sent to you. There is still a difference."

"Natural, natural. I, Zhang Xiulian, also know the rules. I will definitely not torture her to death, and I will definitely not cause trouble to the house. However, since she is from the Su family, I will never be polite to her. Aunt Zhang was very knowledgeable about current affairs and immediately understood Guo Danian's meaning.

"Well, people will stay for you. I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't talk to you. Butler Guo planned to leave. In short, his goal had been achieved, and he also wanted to drink tea in his room.

"What's the matter? It's hard for you to come here, and you're leaving as soon as you come? I haven't taken out a good tea and snacks to entertain you!" Aunt Zhang is polite.

"It's not early, I'm still busy!" Guo Danian shirked the sshit.

"Yes, you are the housekeeper of the general's mansion. Things must be busier than those of us, so I won't leave you anymore." Aunt Zhang smiled and took out a silver ingot from her purse. "You finally came here and didn't drink a cup of hot tea. This is a small thing, just take it as filial piety to you."

"How embarrassing it is to cause you trouble and take your benefits." Guo Danian said polite words, but rudely put the silver into her pocket. Su Wanqing felt disgusted. She hated this kind of person most.

Guo Danian left. Aunt Zhang stared at Su Wanqing and roared, "Why are you still stunned? Do you think you are still the second lady of Su Mansion? You are a compensatory now. Why don't you roll over and do the laundry?

"Yes!" Although Su Wanqing was angry and did not suffer losses, she knew that this was not the time to fight hard. If she resists, she can only suffer losses. Her greatest advantage is that she can control her emotions, which has brought her a lot of benefits both in her previous life and this life.

Su Wanqing squatted down in front of a large wooden basin. In an instant, there were a pile of clothes in the empty basin, and several maids were still putting clothes next to the wooden basin.

"Hey, what do you mean?" Su Wanqing asked.

"It's your turn to wash. Wash it. If there is any stain that hasn't been washed, take care of your skin. Aunt Zhang said that her tone was very strict, which was completely different from the attitude of the dialogue with Guo Danian just now.

"Aunt Zhang, after looking at so many clothes, I'm afraid I can't finish washing them today." Su Wanqing said, and she paused, "I'm either afraid of trouble, or I'm worried that the masters will be in a hurry. If they lose their temper, Aunt Zhang will also be implicated by me, isn't it good?"

"Do you want to be lazy?" Aunt Zhang asked, but Su Wanqing's words were thought about in her heart, which was not unreasonable. She is the stew manager of the raccoon room. If she can't finish washing the clothes, she must be in trouble.

"You two, take these and wash them." Aunt Zhang called two little maids, handed them three or five clothes, and said to Su Wanqing, "The rest should be washed before dark, otherwise you are not allowed to sleep."
