Chapter 4 Encounter at Night

Su Wanqing washed clothes while thinking about it. It's really sad that she has traveled to this era, not to mention the washing machine, and there is no efficient detergent to remove stains.

In the past, she was fine in the Su Mansion. After all, she was the second lady. Naturally, she didn't have to worry about washing clothes, but now she has fallen to this. In her last life, she was a doctor. She saved lives and helped the wounded, which is also a lot of public morality. Why did she travel to such a situation after that?

Fortunately, it's summer. If it were winter, these hands would be terrible.

At noon, in the scorching sun, Su Wanqing dried the water on her hands, wiped the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, and followed her laundry girl to dinner.

"Yo, you are conscious! No one called you, and you know to come to dinner. Aunt Zhang's cold face made Su Wanqing very uncomfortable.

"Have you finished washing the clothes? Dare to come over for dinner, cut." Aunt Zhang was mean to make trouble. Although Su Wanqing was respectful, she was not afraid and replied neither humble nor arrogantly, "Auntie, you have told me before that the clothes should be washed before dark, and you can't sleep if you can't finish washing, but you haven't said that you can't eat if you can't finish washing. Is it possible that the general's mansion is such a big family business, why don't you give people food?

Aunt Zhang was a little dumb. A fat maid held a bowl and said, "Do you talk to your aunt like this? I don't understand any etiquette. This is the place where the maids eat. You don't seem to belong here, do you?

Aunt Zhang seemed to be reminded and quickly laughed and said, "Yes, you are Aunt Su and the master of the house. How can you have the nerve to eat with us servants? I'm afraid you can't get used to this brown rice and grains. If you have a stomachache, we can't bear that responsibility.

"Aunt Su, go to your room for dinner, and we won't see you off." The fat maid's dog-legged face made people look at it.

Su Wanqing had no choice but to know that even if she stayed here, it would be useless. I simply returned to the weeded courtyard and wanted to live here at night. It's better to pick up the house during the day. You can't sleep in the lounge chair under the eaves every day. What if it rains?

Su Wanqing's first thing to clean up was a south-facing bedroom on the second floor, which can see the sun and may have the effect of disinfection and sterilization. She swept the old but finely crafted carved bed and cleaned up some dusty bedding and worn-out clothes. She happened to be in the raccoon room and could be cleaned by the way.

As for the dilapidated windows, Su Wanqing found some weeds and rattans in the yard and woven a pure herbal curtain, which can not only block the sun, but also looks beautiful.

After some work, Su Wanqing was really hungry. Last night, she ate a rich dinner made by her mother with tears before she came to the general's mansion, but she didn't eat this morning and did a lot of things, and her stomach cooed with hunger. There was nothing to eat, so I had to take out the steamed bread left by Meixiang. There was no water to drink, so I had to swallow it forcibly.

After eating steamed bread, Su Wanqing knew that there could be no longer delay, and quickly returned to the raccoon room with the bedding that needed to be cleaned.

"Hight!" Aunt Zhang saw Su Wanqing coming in through the door and shouted quickly.

"What's your aunt's order?" Su Wanqing is neither humble nor arrogant.

"After all, the second lady of Sufu, does it have to be so slow to eat? Look at them. They have started work a long time ago. What a lazy donkey. Aunt Zhang said, pointing to the maids who were washing clothes.

Su Wanqing suppressed her anger and whispered, "I know. I will pay attention next time."

"Do you want to have another time?" Aunt Zhang looked angry and roared, "You are late today. You will be punished for being late."

"You are not allowed to sleep tonight, just wash clothes here until dawn." Aunt Zhang's words made Su Wanqing frown, but she did not object and said directly, "Yes. Excuse me, aunt, can I wash clothes now?

"Go!"

As soon as Su Wanqing was about to lift her feet, Aunt Zhang shouted, "Wait, what are you holding?"

Su Wanqing knew that if it was something she wanted to use, she would naturally be blamed. She remembered Aunt Zhang's flattery and flattered Guo Danian and simply lied, "I just met Butler Guo on the road and asked me to clean these dilapidated dirty bedding, but I don't know what the purpose is."

"Let's go, let's go! It's annoying to watch. Roll over and work. Aunt Zhang obviously believed it. She obviously mistakenly thought that Housekeeper Guo was deliberately embarrassting Aunt Su. Of course, she will continue to make things difficult for Aunt Su. Even if it's not to please Guo Danian and have nothing to do, it's a pleasure to bully those who used to be higher than her.

Su Wanqing understood that when she said such a thing, Aunt Zhang of this force would double the difficulty of her, simply ignoring it and wash the bedding and clothes she needed first. After all, she wanted to use it. Washing it was a feeling, and she also sewed the dilapidated place with needles and thread.

At night, it was a little cold. I couldn't go back to my house to sleep, and I didn't eat dinner. I couldn't help but feel hungry and cold. At this time, the yard of the raccoon room was empty, thinking that everyone had fallen asleep, and Su Wanqing did not want to wrong herself to wash clothes all the time. She walked into the dining room of the raccoon room to find out if there was any leftover food.

"God, are you playing with me?" Su Wanqing couldn't even find a rice in the dining room, and at this time, her disappointing stomach shouted.

"I don't care." Su Wanqing packed up the bedding and clothes that had been washed and dried in the afternoon and sent them back to her small yard against the night. Then, like a headless fly, he bumped around and wanted to find something that could be eaten. After all, it was uncomfortable to be hungry.

Su Wanqing met several patrollings along the way. Fortunately, she had sharp eyes and quickly hid behind the tree, otherwise she would definitely be interrogated for a long time.

"It's not here!"

"Not here either!"

"Daw, where the hell is the kitchen?"

......

The general's mansion covers an area of almost half a street, and the territory is not ordinary. Su Wanqing's feet are sore. She simply sits behind a big tree to rest, take off her embroidered shoes, and rubs the tired soles of her feet, which can be regarded as a foot massage to get rid of fatigue.

"Ah!" Su Wanqing was patted on the shoulder and couldn't help shouting, but she immediately covered her mouth for fear that her voice would be heard by others.

"Who are you? What are you doing?" Su Wanqing lowered her voice and stared at a man beside her.

"What are you doing again? Do you walk under the big tree in the middle of the night to enjoy the cool? The man asked.

"My business has nothing to do with you." Su Wanqing whispered, and the man smiled and raised his eyebrows. "I think you have been around here for most of the day. If you are hungry, go to the right and cross the bridge and you will find the kitchen."

"Really? You won't lie to me, will you?" Su Wanqing asked.

"Dare you? What did I lie to you? Cheating? Or is it cheating?" Men are cynical.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Su Wanqing put on her shoes, and she was already hungry. Since she knew where the kitchen was, of course she rushed over.

That man was right. She found the kitchen as she wished, and there was a lot of food in the kitchen. Su Wanqing picked up a chicken leg and nibbled it.

Cough... No, I'm choked!

"Take it and eat slowly. No one will grab you." The haunted man handed over a bowl of sour plum soup, and Su Wanqing didn't care so much. She took it and poured it into her stomach in one breath.

"Cool!" Su Wanqing wiped the soup from the corners of her mouth.

"Are you new to the house? Why haven't I seen you?" The man asked with a smile. Su Wanqing picked up a plate of beef and said, "I just came here yesterday. No one gave me food. I was so hungry that I was about to collapse. Who are you in the house?

"My name is Guo Qixuan, and my grandfather is a housekeeper in the house." Guo Qixuan still looks gentle.

Su Wanqing curled her lips. She didn't like the housekeeper Guo, but Guo Qixuan didn't hate her.

"What? I hate my grandfather very much, don't I?" Guo Qixuan seemed to see through Su Wanqing's mind.

"I didn't say it. You said it yourself." Su Wanqing showed a smile. This clear smile made Guo Qixuan sink. He thought he had seen countless beautiful women, but he didn't expect this little maid to be so beautiful and refined. This clean smile was fixed in his heart.

"Hey!" Su Wanqing shook her hand in front of Guo Qixuan, "What are you thinking? It's like being stupid."

"Ah! No...nothing...hehe!" Guo Qixuan realized his gaffe and scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment. He is also a jade tree, and many women will blush when they see him, but this girl is not only shy to see him, but also embarrassed.

"You talk interestingly. How about making friends?" Guo Qixuan asked.

"I don't seem to have said a few words to you, do I?" Su Wanqing smiled and Guo Qixuan thought about it. From the beginning to now, she hasn't said ten sentences in total, but he just found it interesting.

Looking at Guo Qixuan being stupid again, Su Wanqing said, "Well, I'm kidding you. You helped me find the kitchen, which helped me. If you don't mind that I'm the second Miss Sufu, I won't refuse to make friends with you."

"Are you the second Miss Sufu?" Guo Qixuan screamed.

"I knew you would react like this. It doesn't matter. Everyone knows everything about my family now. Everyone looks down on the daughter of the Su family. Go away. Su Wan is light.

"No, I don't mean to look down on you at all. It's your sister who made a mistake and has nothing to do with you, and you are also implicated. I was just surprised. I really didn't mean anything else. Don't be angry. Guo Qixuan quickly explained that he was afraid that this fairy-like figure would ignore him.

"It doesn't matter, but I believe my sister is innocent and I know her. I think there must be something wrong with it. Su Wanqing wanted to see her eldest sister very much, so she asked, "Do you have a way for me to meet my eldest sister?"
