Chapter 68: Nine Songs of Exquisite Heart
"You! You dare to take the queen to press me! "Daxi Mama has always been arrogant in Yongxiang, and she must have never suffered such a collision, and her face turned green with anger for a while.
"The slave maid is just a little palace maid, how can she suppress the grandmother? It's just a kind reminder, lest Mama lose her life because of the slave, but the slave is not. Ansu is still calm.
"Okay, even if you can't be killed, it's good to make you suffer." Mama Taxi said and raised her stick again.
"Mama's words are good, but if the slave maid has an injury on her body, and her shoulder and back are sore, she will serve the Queen Mother, in case she falls something with a weak hand, she will definitely investigate it thoroughly with the Queen Mother's temperament. When the time comes, come to Yongxiang and ask a little, and you will be able to know what Mama does to everyone on weekdays. As far as the slaves and maids know, we palace maids are locked up here to do rough work, and we are supervised by the grandmothers, not beaten and scolded at will. An Su's eyes gradually became serious, "This matter is small and small, and it is big and big, if the queen mother is unhappy, I am afraid that my life will not be saved." Just as Mama is unhappy today, our lives will not be saved. ”
As soon as Ansu said this, Daxi's hand holding the stick really paused in the air, and she hesitated for a while before finally throwing the stick aside.
"Hmph, give me work! You can't beat and scold, Mama has other ways to treat you! "Mama Daxi is still angry, but Suo Hua has escaped.
"Ansu, thank you!" Suo Hua covered her injured left shoulder, and her voice was a little buzzy, she looked at An Su and bit her lip, but still reminded, "Although you saved me by doing this, you offended everyone very much." ”
An Suhu wondered: "Why is this?" ”
"This Daxi Mama will not only beat and scold us, if she really cares, she will give us life in the weaving room." Suo Hua's face was sad, "Last time, a palace maid offended her, but she was not punished on the spot, we all think she is lucky." But I didn't expect that when we arrived at the weaving room, Daxi Mama arranged a job for us to finish in three days, and we were not allowed to eat or sleep until we finished it. ”
"Is everyone together? And the only one who offended her was the palace maid? An Su's heart also lifted, it's okay to beat and scold, but it's even more terrible if it's hated.
"Of course it's everyone, everyone doesn't dare to blame Daxi Mama, so they poured their anger on the palace maid." Suo Hua shuddered, "Everyone isolates her, doesn't help her when she works, and doesn't talk to her." After a long time, she made more and more mistakes, and was finally beaten to death by Daxi Mama. ”
An Su remembered that it was the same in the palace maid's office, but since she could deal with Jiang Qingran, these people in front of her would naturally not be her opponents.
"In this Yongxiang, who is more powerful, Daxi Mama or Xu Muma?" An Su suddenly had a plan in his heart that began to take shape.
Suo Hua thought for a while: "That's Mama Xu Mu is better, it's just that Mama Daxi is fierce all day long, and everyone is more afraid of her." ”
"That's going to be easy." Ansu breathed a sigh of relief.
As Suo Hua said, when the palace maids were halfway through their work, Daxi Mama walked in with a pile of clothes. She may have just been deflated by An Su, and the anger on her face was even worse.
"Listen to me, these clothes on my hands must be painted with lotus leaf patterns before dinner, if they can't be embroidered, don't eat dinner." Daxi Mama was slightly chubby, and the flesh on her face was crowded together when she smiled. And her smile is sinister, which only makes people feel more ugly.
Although Daxi Mama still had a stick in her hand, it was inevitable that the palace maids would talk about it. It's not so easy to embroider so many clothes with patterns, and you can't finish them before dinner.
"Did you hear it all? Especially you, Shangguan Ansu! Mama Daxi deliberately called Ansu's name, turned her head and looked at her with a smile, not hiding the malice on her face at all.
It's a pity that An Su didn't talk back to her again, just nodded slightly: "No." ”
Suo Hua raised her heart to her throat on the side, she thought that An Su would be the same as Fang Cai, and argue with Daxi Mama again, who knew that she was so docile.
After distributing the clothes to each of the palace maids, Daxi Mama walked out triumphantly. She slammed the door of the weaving room shut, blocking out the light from the outside. There was a light in the room, but the light from outside suddenly disappeared, which still made everyone uncomfortable.
There was a lot of grumbling in the weaving room, and An Su slapped his palms a few times to attract everyone's attention: "Everyone hand over all the clothes that Mama Daxi distributed to me just now, you just need to finish your original work, and go out for dinner!" I'll help you get the patterns on these clothes. ”
"Why should we believe you? What if you mess up your work and Mama Daxi blames us? One of the maids shouted.
"Well, then, if you believe me, give me your clothes, and whatever I do, you will have supper safe and sound. If you don't believe me, you can embroider the pattern in a proper manner! Ansu didn't force them either, and after saying this, he returned to his place.
Suo Hua, who was standing near her, opened his head and handed the clothes to her: "Ansu, I believe in you, and I will leave my work to you." ”
Seeing Suo Hua like this, a few bold palace maids also sent their clothes up. Then, everyone saw that the companions around them were doing the same, and they all presented their clothes one after another, and Ansu waited for a while, and finally collected all the extra work in the entire weaving room.
"Ansu, you really have such a good embroiderer, can you embroider so many clothes at once?" Although Suo Hua took the lead in believing in Ansu, he still had a trace of doubt in his heart.
"I didn't want to finish all of them." An Su explained, and shouted at everyone, "Since you have handed over all your clothes to me, you must still have some trust in me." So when you finish dinner in a while, when Mama Daxi brings Mama Xu Mu to ask, you must be sure that Mama Daxi has never worked for us, and you have never seen those clothes. ”
"Why lie?" It's still the palace maid who spoke out just now.
"If you don't say that, you will be beaten and scolded even more severely by Daxi Mama in the future, if you say so, at least you can be safe today, and if you are lucky, maybe you can never suffer in the future." An Su spread his hands, "But I'm just giving a suggestion, if you really dare to lie, take the clothes back from me, and let's live as if nothing happened, and we will be beaten and scolded like before." ”
"Why should we trust you?" The palace maid repeated.
"I've already said it, believe it or not, I'm just giving you an idea to choose from." Ansu didn't say anything about this, they each discussed it for a while, and finally agreed to do what Ansu said.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and the palace maids followed An Su's instructions, and after having dinner with trepidation, they returned to the weaving room to continue their work. Their work for the day had actually been done, and there was usually half an hour's rest after dinner, but Ansu gathered them here and waited for Mama Daxi's arrival.
"Daxi, what are you pulling me here for?" It didn't take long for Mama Xu Mu's voice to come from outside, "It's time for the girls to rest, why are you in the weaving room?" ”
When she said this, Mama Xu Mu and Mama Daxi were walking into the weaving room side by side, and naturally they saw a dense group of people sitting inside at a glance.
"These girls will be lazy during the day. No, it's just now! Daxi Mama reprimanded in disgust.
"Really? I see that they are quite good at working on weekdays. "Mama Xu Mu rarely comes to the weaving room, occasionally once or twice, and the palace maids are quite hardworking.
"Back to Mama, we have finished today's work, but everyone has nothing to do during the rest time after dinner, so we will make an appointment to come to the weaving room to do more. Recently, the weather has been cold, and when all palaces need to add clothes, they can always be used. The palace maid who had been asking An Su before was the leader of the crowd, and now she stood up and answered according to An Su's instructions.
"Done? How can it be? Daxi Mama jumped out first, she was really surprised, "Mama Xu, these girls are lying, recently the masters of the palace have been rushing to make new clothes, and the slaves and maids have added work to them." These girls have always been careless, and in order to make their hands and feet neat, the slaves and maids also specially instructed them not to eat dinner until they finish it. ”
"You already said this when you came, that is, they didn't listen to you, and they went to dinner before they finished their work, and let me beat and beat together, is that true?" Mama Xu Mu furrowed her brows.
"Yes." Daxi Mama nodded repeatedly.
"Suo Hua, tell me, why don't you listen to Daxi's words and go to dinner before you finish your work?" Mama Xu Mu is not as anxious as Mama Daxi, her tone is very calm.
"Mama, we're going to have dinner after we've finished our work!" Suo Hua had an innocent expression on his face.
"Impossible, with so much work, it's impossible for you to go to dinner on time!" Daxi slapped the table hard.
"Daxi Mama is mistaken, there is not much work today!" Suo Hua continued to pretend to be innocent.
"Originally, there wasn't much work, so I added the lotus leaf pattern embroidery of the palace maid's clothes to you later, that work is the most important, how can it be completed so quickly?"
"What ruffles? We've never been offered anything like this! Suo Hua turned to look at the crowd inquiringly.
Everyone testified, "Yes, we have never received any work from you today!" ”
"How is this possible? That's impossible! I've given you all my clothes! Daxi Mama panicked all of a sudden, although those clothes were worn by the palace maids, they were also very important, how could you say that they were gone!
