Mu Chen took the potted golden flower tea in Su Jiuling's hand, and while walking hard, he complained to him about how worthless it was to spend so much money to buy a plant that was not sure whether it was golden flower tea or not.

Su Jiuling just listened lightly, letting Mu Chen say a lot of things, he just didn't answer, and occasionally Mu Chen couldn't stand his silence, so he would shout in a bad mood that Su Jiuling had to answer him.

The two took turns holding potted plants along the way, and when they were about to arrive at Sufu, they put the potted plants on the ground with a bang, and panted: "Rest for a while." ”

Su Jiuling bent down to move the potted plants and said, "I'll do the rest." When he picked up the potted plant, he said, "I'll treat you to a big meal in the evening." ”

Muchen grinned.

When he was about to arrive at the door, the sharp-eyed doorman hurriedly greeted him and took the potted plant in Su Jiuling's arms very quickly.

After Su Jiuling explained some precautions clearly, he went straight back to the room, and when he came out again, he had already changed into another set of clothes.

Shogunate.

"Mother, you know what? That embarrassing little lady is now working as a maid in our house! As soon as Mu Tongtong entered the house, he hurried to Liu Qianqian's room and said angrily.

Although Mu Tongtong and Mu Yang came back with Su Jiuling and Mu Chen, they only went along a long way, and when they reached the fork, Mu Chen told Mu Tongtong and Mu Yang to go back to their homes on their own.

"What little lady?" Liu Qianqian asked casually while embroidering seriously.

"It's the embarrassing little lady who fainted at our door." Mu Tongtong sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and said.

"Hasn't she already left the house?" Liu Qianqian continued to ask casually, and the needlework in her hand did not stop.

"No, I saw her at the market today, with a backpack on her back, dressed as a subordinate, and after the eldest brother saw her, he invited her to eat with us." Mu Tongtong said in the end, gritting his teeth a little.

The thought of her sitting at the same table with a servant to eat today, and sitting with a woman who was embarrassed and had no reputation for chastity, felt uncomfortable, like a fish in her throat.

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Qianqian slowly put down the embroidery and asked.

"Really, believe it or not, we can go and see." Mu Tongtong said.

"It's going to be fun now, and if this thing gets out, the reputation of the shogunate will inevitably be damaged." Liu Qianqian said slowly.

Mu Tongtong nodded vigorously.

"Mother, can I go out tonight?" Mu Tongtong hugged Liu Qianqian's arm and said coquettishly.

"I have to tell your father about this, my mother can't be the master." Liu Qianqian smiled and said dotingly.

"Go tell Daddy!" Mu Tongtong shook Liu Qianqian's arm and said.

Laundry.

The sun had sunk in the west, and the sunset had stained half of the sky red.

In a yard of about ten square meters, layer after layer of clothes were dried.

Hongyao sat on a small stool, with a round wooden basin in front of her, which was full of clothes to be washed, she leaned forward, quickly picked up a piece of clothing from the basin, put it on the wood-colored washboard, and rubbed it vigorously.

After she returned from cutting the plantain and dandelions, she was arranged by the house's grandmother to come to the laundry room, and appointed her to wash all the clothes of the masters before dark, otherwise there would be no dinner.

In one afternoon, Hongyao thought to herself more than once: Fortunately, the young master invited her to eat a bowl of noodles today, otherwise, not only would she not even have eaten lunch, but she would not even have eaten dinner.

Hongyao thumped his sore back, looked helplessly at the basin full of clothes, and then at the number of clothes drying on the rope, and lowered his head again and started to do it.

When it was getting dark, Mama came to check on the situation, and when she saw that there was still a small hill of dirty clothes on the ground, she immediately shouted, "Red medicine! If you can't even finish this little bit of work in an afternoon, will you eat dry food for nothing? ”

Hongyao slowly got up from the stool, she looked at Mama without fear, and said calmly: "Mama, Madame, young master and young lady, I have already washed the clothes of the young masters, and the rest are the people in the house, I am here to work for the shogunate, not for the people of the shogunate, so naturally there is no reason to wash their clothes." ”

When Mama heard this, she was so angry that she smoked: "What a sharp-toothed thing!" I don't care who you're working with, if you don't finish washing these clothes today, you won't want to eat. ”

Hongyao stared straight at Mama, Mama glared at her fiercely without showing weakness, as if telling Hongyao to let her recognize her identity, and a lowly maid was not qualified to bargain with her.

After a few minutes of confrontation between the two sides, Mama spoke again: "Don't forget, your current identity is the lowest maid in the shogunate, the so-called inferior, is to listen to the orders of everyone in the house, even if the other party is an ordinary maid, but the status is still higher than you, if you want to stay here well, you have to endure everyone's insults and bullying." ”

"You-" Red Medicine said again.

"Today is just the beginning, and the days to come are still long, so you'll give me a reply when you've thought about it." Mama regained her composure.

"I don't know what to call Mama yet." Hongyao said lightly.

"Just call me Mama Li."

Mama Li has been working in the shogunate since she was sixteen years old, and now she has been working here for more than 30 years, so it can be said that she has given most of her life to the shogunate, and even the vicious Liu Qianqian has to let her share when she sees her.

"Mama Li, it's my job, I will definitely do it, usually do more and less, it's nothing, I won't take these things to heart, and I don't like to care about these, if they are busy at hand and can't take their hands away, when I have nothing to do, I can help them wash." Therefore, I have to bother Mama Li to pass a message to them for me, in the future, this kind of thing, it is better to invite them to come by themselves, today is a coincidence, I have to have a little spare at hand, I will do it easily, and I can't say for sure in the future. Hongyao looked at Mama Li calmly and said.

Hongyao looked at the pile of clothes, and it was not difficult to guess that this was the other subordinates in the mansion who were deliberately making things difficult for her, bullying her, and making her recognize her status in the mansion.

Therefore, if this matter is opened today, the other subordinates in the palace will inevitably think that she is easy to bully, and they will definitely use other things to make things difficult for her in the future; She can help others, as she said, she doesn't care whether she does more work or less work, but she must not let others think that she is a good bully.

Therefore, in order to prevent similar things from happening, Hongyao must be firm in his decision.

Mama Li looked at her with deep eyes, and after a long time, she said with some appreciation: "You little girl, not only has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but also has a smart mind, and she is not small, and she dares to speak to me in this tone." ”

"Red medicine doesn't dare."

"I'll have someone come and take away their clothes later, and there's still a little leftovers in the kitchen, you clean up and go over."

After Mama Li gave the order, she left without looking back.

Hongyao froze in place on the spot, her eyes looked at the clothes fluttering in the wind in front of her without blinking, and she wondered: "What did Mama Li mean just now, did she say that she didn't need to wash these clothes?" ”

A powerful voice came from the air: "If you like to do laundry, all the clothes that will be changed up and down in the house will be handed over to you in the future." ”

She's alone? That's not going to work!

Hongyao pulled his legs and went to the door, and as he walked, he replied: "Mama Li, I'm here!" ”
