Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 9: Sun Family

"Don't stop me, I'm going back to find him." Meng Shuangshuang was still crying after waking up.

"You're crazy. You're a runaway slave now. Can you survive if you really go back?"

"Then what's the matter? Did you just lie to him for nothing?" Meng Shuangshuang said unwillingly.

"You *****ed up with him?"

Meng Shuangshuang blushed: "What nonsense are you talking about, nothing!"

"Isn't it over, now that you have an identity, you are no longer a slave to someone else, and even if you don't stay with that young master, you can still be an upright commoner and live a good life, right? You didn't suffer from this business! Man, he doesn't really treat you, so why are you here! If we don't have this one, let's find the next one, and we will definitely find something better." Ning Xi advised.

Meng Shuangshuang stopped crying: "Hey, it sounds like what you said makes sense."

"Of course it makes sense. You look so good-looking, can't you still hang yourself from a broken tree? Come, come, to celebrate your freedom, let's give this plate of lotus root starch sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Eat!"

When Meng Shuangshuang saw the crystal clear cakes, she immediately forgot her sadness: "Wow, what is this sweet sweet-scented osmanthus? Did you make it?"

"Well, the lotus root starch is added with rock sugar and water chestnuts cut into small pieces. After steaming, there is a layer of sweet-scented osmanthus on the surface. You can try it to ensure that it is sweet and refreshing."

"It's delicious, Ning Xi, you are really amazing. Anything will become very delicious when you touch it. I have never eaten something so delicious in Jiang's house!" , Meng Shuangshuang looked down again.

Ning Xi hurriedly said: "This is just the beginning. I still have a lot of craftsmanship that you haven't tried, and you will eat some in the future."

"However, I have no money, and I can't invite you to cook alone every day. I think I should go out and find some work these days!"

Ning Xi nodded: "Yes, without the stinky man, we have to rely on ourselves."

Meng Shuangshuang suddenly looked at Ning Xi suspiciously: "No, how old are you this year?"

"Thirteen."

"How can you know so much at the age of thirteen?"

"What's the matter? My family runs an inn. I'll understand it after listening to it a lot."

"That's true. However, girls as old as you in the city are raised at home like treasures. Where are you, like you, working in the inn with a public face, your aunt is too bad Too much!"

"It's nothing. Actually, I'm more afraid that she will lock me at home, and I will be suffocated to death. But it's strange, she has been very kind to me recently, and she even gave it to me two days ago. I was a little flattered that I made a new dress, bought a new hairpin, and even took me out as a guest."

"They all love face very much, probably for outsiders to see. Who do you think she took you to as a guest?"

"The family surnamed Sun should be quite rich, and their family background should be much better than that of the Ning family. At that time, there were several wives with them, all with girls about my age."

"Could it be that your aunt wants to find you a husband-in-law's house? I saw it in Jiang's family back then. That's how big families look at their daughter-in-law."

"Impossible, it's too far away, isn't it all about getting married?"

"That's not necessarily true. As the saying goes, marry high and marry low. Besides, Ning Xi, although you are thin and small, you are still very handsome. When you don't speak, you look very quiet. Maybe people can really see you. Here's to you!"

"Then I don't want to either. If I have to get married, I must marry the person I like." Ning Xi said firmly.

"Also, you must never be a concubine. My mother said that the life of a concubine is completely in the hands of the mistress, and she has to be a man with her tail between her legs, let alone being aggrieved." Meng Shuangshuang added one sentence.

Meng Shuangshuang began to go to the streets the next day to find work. She worked as a maid for a big family. She knows the rules, works quickly, and looks good. If she is willing to sell herself, she can find a rich family to be a servant Being a maid is still very easy, but of course she is unwilling to give up the freedom she has finally won, and she is unwilling to sign a betrayal contract with others.

If you don't sign the deed of betrayal, the host won't treat you as your own, and naturally won't let you serve you in close proximity. In this way, you can only do some heavy work. Meng Shuangshuang was lucky. It happened that the wealthy businessman Sun's house in the city had a maidservant who could wash clothes, so Meng Shuangshuang took it on. The cost of food and clothing was the same as that of the servants in the house. There are half of the servants here. The advantage is that if you want to leave at any time, you can just say it in advance.

After finding a job, Meng Shuangshuang came back excitedly to say goodbye to Ning Xi, and Ning Xi was also happy for her: "Sun's family? Is it the one in the china business in the east of the city?"

"Yes, it's the Sun family."

"It's the one my second aunt took me to! If I have a chance to go there again in the future, I'll definitely see you."

"That's a promise. I'll eat your delicious food in the future!"

"No problem, I will never forget you if there is something delicious."

Meng Shuangshuang happily went to work at Sun's house, while Ning Xi was still her cook at the Ning's inn.

Because Ningxi's dishes are delicious, Ningjia Inn gradually gained some reputation in Yunhai City, and the number of guests increased, and sometimes some slightly rich guests were admitted, and the guests were happy to eat , and occasionally reward Ning Xi with a few coins. Over time, she has accumulated almost a thousand coins, and she carries it with her every day.

During the period, Tang Xueqin took Ningxi to the Sun's house again. This time, only the two of them were guests. The lady of the Sun family treated her very kindly. In the past, Tang Xueqin was very happy after returning, and gave her a pure gold fork. It's a pity that I didn't get a chance to see Meng Shuangshuang, and it took more than ten days to see her. Ning Xi still missed her, and she didn't know if she was doing well.

It was raining heavily that night. Ningxi hid in the bed and counted the money. She was about to take a good night's sleep when she heard a slap on the door. She suspected that she had heard it wrong, so she turned her ear to the bed and listened carefully. After a while, this time it was real, not only was someone knocking on the door, but someone was calling her name, and the voice seemed to belong to Meng Shuangshuang.

Ignoring the heavy rain, I ran over and opened the door: "Shuangshuang, it's really you!"

Meng Shuangshuang was soaked all over and breathless, "Ningxi, I, I have something very important to tell you."

"Come in and talk about it!" Ning Xi couldn't help but drag her into the room, found her a dress to put on, and took a handkerchief to wipe her hair, "I can't talk about it the next day. , I have to run over in such a heavy rain, alas, no, I still have to cook a bowl of **** soup for you."

"No!" Meng Shuangshuang glanced at the main room vigilantly, "Don't wake up your uncle, your aunt and the others."

Ning Xi glanced over there, but there was no movement at all. Ning Xi's house was close to the back door, so he could hear the door slamming. The main house was still a little far from here. I can't hear a sound: "It's okay, I can't hear it over there, let's go to the kitchen and make **** soup while talking."

Rinse and peel the ginger, cut into filaments, smash the garlic, put a bowl of water in the pot, put the shredded **** in and cook, add a spoonful of brown sugar after cooking, stir well, cook for a while, and finally add Add chopped garlic and cook for a while.

Ning Xi was busy with her hands and feet swiftly, while listening to Meng Shuangshuang tell about her shocking discovery.

"Did you know? The Sun family has been passed down for several generations. Today, Master Sun has only one son named Sun Tianyou. Unfortunately, it is probably because the Sun family has done too much, and even God does not bless his family. This Sun Tianyou He's actually a fool by nature, and when he's twenty years old, he'll only be foolish to play, even a three-year-old can't compare to him."

Ning Xi frowned and said, "It's none of your business to be a fool. Just do your job well, don't meddle in your own business, so as not to cause trouble." Although Ning Xi has never been a servant, he It's not a good thing to know that the arrogant master has been discovered.

"The problem is that the fool is stupid, but he has a lot of things that a man should have. He is like a boar in estrus all day long, and he is always being bullied by Master Sun and Madam Sun. There are many people in the house. The maids have all suffered his poisonous hands."

"Well, then you have to be careful."

"I wash clothes in the backyard, I never walk around, it's fine! Oops, that's not what I'm trying to say, I heard something tonight and hurried over despite the heavy rain, just wanted to tell You, Master Sun and Madam Sun are going to marry their stupid son, do you know who that poor daughter-in-law is?"

"How would I know?"

"What are you doing when your second aunt is so active in bringing you to visit Sun's house these days? You see she made you new clothes and new jewelry, you think it's really because you cook well Eat, business is good in the inn, did you make it specially to thank you?"

"Could it be..." The rag in Ning Xi's hand fell to the ground.

Meng Shuangshuang bent over to pick up the rag and threw it aside: "That's right, she's a weasel who greets the chicken for the New Year, she's uneasy and kind! It's a pity that you are still here to help her cook and attract guests. Ningxi, hurry up. Think about it, you mustn't be married into the Sun family just like that, I heard that the fool Sun will only grin and grin all day long, and the lazi's face is full of disgust."

"I see, thank you both, I'll find a way." Ning Xi's heart was completely cold, but she didn't expect to get rid of the fate of being sold into the mountains in the countryside, but it turned out that she just came out The wolf's den enters the tiger's den again.

"Okay, Ning Xi, I'm going back first, take care of yourself!"

"I know, take this umbrella and be careful on the road. You also have to be careful, don't do it there if something is wrong."

"I know in my heart that I will get this month's monthly bill in a few days, and I will quit the job after I get the money."

Meng Shuangshuang was sent away, but Ning Xi returned to the room but couldn't sleep again. Does Dad know about this? Besides fleeing, is there any other way for her to go?
