Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 140
Manman came back near the second watch.

Chen Yunzheng went to bed early, he didn't fall asleep, and it was impossible to fall asleep at all. The word Manman has been rubbed between his lips and teeth for most of the night, as if he could bite Manman several times back and forth. .

But he couldn't understand the hatred.

He knew that it was wrong for him to do this, and Manman would not just walk away, but he was not angry.This girl is bold and ambitious, she is only out of confinement, how dare she run out so crazy and not come back so late?
He was always going to grab her back, he would only torture her until her body was weak and her legs were weak, to see where else she could go.

Hearing Manman's voice coming back, Chen Yun turned his back angrily and ignored her.She still knows to come back?What does she take this for?Who did she take him for?
Manman saw that Chen Yun was lying motionless, with the bed curtain hanging heavily, so she walked lightly, and directly ordered Si Zhen to prepare water, and Si Yi to serve dinner, and took a few mouthfuls. The hot water was ready, She entered the clean room by herself.

Chen Yun is really angry.

A person of his age is lying on the bed, and Su Manman can turn a blind eye. She is really cruel.Could she not know that he was ignoring her on purpose?Could she not know that he was angry?Can she feel no guilt at all?Can't she come and say hello to him?
He tossed and turned on the bed and lost two legs, but Manman hasn't come back yet.The angry Chen Yunzheng lifted the quilt, slammed his shoes off the ground, and entered the clean room.

The door was not locked, and he opened it with a push. The clean room was full of dense water vapor. He squinted his eyes for a while and then opened it to see the situation inside. He was very happy when he saw it.

In the huge bathtub, the naked Manman showed a delicate, tired and sleeping face...

She can fall asleep sitting in the water, what is she doing all day out?Did you rob?
Chen Yunzheng wrapped Manman tightly with a clean towel, and fished her out of the water.

Manman felt that the sleeping position was uncomfortable, so she groaned meaninglessly twice, then nestled in Chen Yunzheng's arms, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep again.

This unconscious attachment of hers pleased Chen Yunzheng to a great extent, the lovesickness she had not seen for a day, the torment of waiting for this day, were all compensated by this attachment.He looked at the more rosy skin that had been scorched by hot water, and couldn't help but feel itchy, thinking that the promise Manman made when she got up early - at night, at night - was really unbelievable.

But it is impossible for him to force Manman when she is extremely tired and unconscious.

Chen Yun was holding back his raging anger, and finally wiped off the water for Manman, put on his clothes, and bit her lips for a while in frustration, forcing her to be short of breath, and she was about to cry before letting her go .

As a result, as soon as he let go, she turned over and faced the arm of the bed, wrapping herself like a silkworm chrysalis, no matter how he pulled it, she refused to move.

Early the next morning, when Chen Yun opened his eyes, he realized that there was no one around him.If it weren't for the long hair left by Manman on the pillow and her body fragrance in the quilt, he would have suspected that her return last night was just his hallucination.

An angry Chen Yun was pounding the bed.He shouldn't have been sympathetic, last night she was definitely faking it, she was so tired, she slept so late and got up so early?

He should have trampled her to the point of crying and begging him, without any strength to get up, to see if she dared to sneak away.

But in front of Si Yi and Si Zhen, he couldn't be too stingy. While eating a tasteless breakfast alone, he asked casually: "Where is Manman? Where did you go this early in the morning?" ?”

Si Yi then replied: "I just went out and said I was going for a walk in the garden."

Chen Yunzheng threw his chopsticks: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" He jumped up and went straight to the backyard.

Si Zhen saw that Chen Yunzheng was gone, so he covered his mouth and looked at Si Yi and said, "You just wait for the sixth master to come back and pick your skin and tear your mouth, isn't this courting death, how dare you lie to him? Can't find Miss Su, why doesn't he spread all the fire on you?"

Si Yi said indifferently: "It's because he didn't understand what I said, and he was too impatient. Didn't I finish my words..."

Si Zhen smiled and said: "It's up to you, you are eloquent, and you can argue with Liu Ye face to face in a while, I don't want the city gate to catch fire and harm the fish in the pond, just wait here by yourself, I'm going back to do needlework."

She slipped away very shamelessly, and Si Yi was not afraid, she calmly stood there with her head bowed.There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Chen Yunzheng kicked the door open, and asked sharply, "Which garden is Manman in?"

Manman admitted that she did it on purpose.

Chen Yunzheng had bullied her a lot in the past, if she got angry again, wouldn't she just let it go like this in the end?It was wrong for her to kick him, but she couldn't be blamed for that, it was his indecency first.

Why should he show her face?

She has the right to be angry too!He treated her badly, so she went out by herself to see who was pissed off.

But Manman is not just out for a stroll, she has business to do.In the end, Mrs. Huo's store was bought by her. As for what to do, she hasn't figured it out yet.Doing business requires not only capital, but also contacts, experience and management skills.She wasn't sure if she had the golden finger.

Well, everyone else is a heroine, so naturally they have golden fingers from their own mother, but the one she put on must be her stepmother, otherwise why would she be useless and useless?She didn't want to do it recklessly, she had to think it over carefully.

Both Si Ling and Si Long vaguely guessed Manman's thoughts, and the two of them wisely refrained from expressing any opinions.Manman is not a particularly willful woman. She may not be able to see the rules and order in her work, but she is not a hot-headed person who just wants to get into the horns.

She gave Mrs. Huo 150 taels of silver to buy the entire storefront and the backyard, and also gave her 50 taels of silver to buy her a simple courtyard in the north of the city.

Mrs. Huo was not polite to her either: "I won't cry poor with you, nor blackmail you. I didn't want to sell this yard at first, because I wanted to give our mothers a place to live, and I also thought it was a place for our ancestors. Selling the house is a bit embarrassing to see the ancestors in the underground. But now, it's still worry-free." She smiled wryly, but didn't cry.She is a stubborn person, knowing that in this life, don't expect anyone to be sympathetic, so she tidied up the house happily, and left the yard to Manman after a few porters picked her up.

Manman had something to do, so she asked someone to clean up the yard first, and then asked someone to modify it according to her wishes.She also felt that the small courtyard at the back was good enough for her to live by herself, so she had people clear out all the piled up debris, built a small garden, and put a plaque on the door: "Changxin Garden."

Although it was still Chen Yunzheng's money, it was at least her own shelter, at worst, she would just return the money with interest to him in the future.

She still has a little bit of stubbornness, and if she finds a place to live by herself, even if she really breaks up with Chen Yunzheng in the future, she will have a place to stay. Even if she gets angry and runs away, she won't be homeless, standing on the street pitifully Weeping in the wind.

When Chen Yun found the so-called Changxin Garden, he saw Manman in light pink, with a towel wrapped around her head, cleaning up the yard with Si Ling and Si Long.

The two of them vacated the house and were wiping the floor, while Manman was fiddling with the furniture that had just been delivered, wiping them clean one by one.Although it is not the legendary mahogany, it is real solid wood furniture at any rate, and the joints are all mortise and tenon. There is absolutely no nail, and there is no paint or paint. It smells like the fragrance of the wood itself.

She just picked a mother-of-pearl carved lacquer Babu bed, a round table, four chairs, a wenge wood dresser, a pair of carved cabinets, and an Arhat bed...

She finally had a deep understanding of the ancient Babu bed. A bed in this era is equivalent to a contemporary house, and the value is quite considerable. Moreover, she got this bed, which is considered God's eyes closed. She picked a cheap one.This was originally a dowry made by a local family for their daughter, but it happened that the girl suffered a serious illness before she got married. consignment.

Manman didn't think there was anything inauspicious about this bed.

In this era, the level of medical care is not in a daze. If you get typhoid fever, if you are not so lucky, you may be infected with pneumonia and die.This is not a man-made disaster, but a natural disaster, which cannot be prevented.

If one day she accidentally catches a cold and turns into pneumonia, it can only be said that it is fate and has nothing to do with this bed, so relying on Si Long's clever words, she bought this set of furniture at a price slightly lower than the market price.

That's right, I have a home.

Manman brushed the dust off with his fingers, and then the furniture was blooming with the luster of the wood itself, and he was full of emotions for a while.Of course, she ignored Chen Yunzheng's reaction after knowing the incident, and didn't think that if she really broke up with Chen Yunzheng, it would be impossible for him to let her live at home safely.

She just felt that this was her own place, and she had a little self-deceiving sense of security.

Chen Yunzheng's anger was completely dissipated after seeing Manman's intoxicated and contented expression.He stepped forward in a strange way, and said softly: "Manman, what are you doing here?"

Even if it was like this, Manman was still startled, she raised her head abruptly, and when she saw him, she felt a little dizzy, her figure wobbled, and she almost fell down.

Chen Yun was busy helping her to sit down, and said amusedly, "What are you afraid of? It's me."

Manman thought to himself, you are the one who is afraid.Why does she have the feeling of being caught by someone?She looked at Chen Yunzheng's expression, pointed at the small courtyard avoiding the important point, and asked Chen Yunzheng with a smile: "Do you think this small courtyard is okay?"

Chen Yunzheng glanced at it and said, "Fortunately, it's just too cramped."

Manman only took the first two words, grabbed his arm, and said, "You think it's okay too? Then give it to me."

Chen Yun was looking down at Manman's peaceful expression, but he couldn't keep his mind as calm as water. He just couldn't say the word "good".

171,

Chen Yunzheng is not stupid, Manman bought the yard and the furniture, everything is in place, and she gently asked him to make the final decision, it was to give him face.

The face is gone, if he doesn't even want face, then he won't even want to get Manman's good face.

He squeezed Manman's face angrily, and said: "All the money is entrusted to you, you can spend it however you want, don't ask me."

But Manman insisted: "No, you lent me the money, and I will return it to you with interest."

I bought everything... What else could he do?He wants to say bad, okay?

Chen Yunzheng said dumbfoundedly: "I've bought everything, you've done your job well, can I say it's not good? But, I have a condition..."

Seeing that he agreed, Manman no longer insisted, and nodded obediently: "What conditions, you say?"

"You bought it yourself, so you can dispose of it naturally, but without my permission and company, you are not allowed to come and live here."

This is to cut off her escape, lest she find an excuse to run out if she has nothing to do.

Manman doesn't care, if they are really angry, or the two of them have reached the point of no return, what is the promise at this moment?Immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I will listen to you."

Her casual perfunctory sentence greatly satisfied Chen Yunzheng's self-esteem. Although he was unwilling, he still smiled a little and said, "It's not too bad. If you dare to be disobedient, I will..."

But Manman pulled his hand, interrupted him and said: "It's all here, how can I make arrangements for my staff..." Without any explanation, she pulled him away.

Chen Yunzheng also put away his threatening words, held his smooth little hand, and said in his heart: Maybe, we shouldn't always force her to do this or that, to make her happy, isn't it the best thing she can give him? gift?
Chen Yun is seriously planning for Manman and telling her how to arrange it. Manman nodded humbly, expressing that she is taught.Looking at the empty store in front, Chen Yunzheng asked Manman: "This store is not small, what do you want to do?"

Manman said with some uncertainty: "Haven't figured it out yet?"

Chen Yun was about to open his mouth to say something, but he still didn't say anything. He just encouraged him with a smile, "What do you want to do most?"

"What do I want to do the most?" Manman pondered for a while, and the "ideal" of childhood emerged in her mind.Her family is not very rich, and her snacks and clothes are not so ordinary, but she likes to read books since she was a child, but she is reluctant to buy them. At that time, her biggest dream was to work in the library, so that she could read a lot of books for free.

Later, when I went to school, my family was really difficult, and I fantasized about going to work in a bank in the future...

When Chen Yun saw Manman just smiled and said nothing, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were tender and charming, his heart could not help but move, and he tightened his grip on Manman.

Manman came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "I'm a person with no ambitions, and I'm also a person with no skills. I can't do anything. Otherwise, let's make it a pastry shop."

Chen Yunzheng originally wanted to suggest her to start a silk shop or jewelry. Don't women like these?Moreover, the customers who come to the door are all female customers, so there will be no disputes.But seeing that she chose the pastry, there is nothing wrong with thinking about it.Food is the most important thing for the people, no matter what the situation is, there is always no worry about not being able to sell what they eat.Manman may not be afraid to take risks, but she is more willing to be safe, and he has nothing to worry about.

At that moment, Chen Yun said, "Okay, I'll help you find a buddy..."

After hearing this, Manman didn't express her gratitude with a smile like a flower, but raised her eyebrows.Chen Yunzheng deliberately lowered his face and said, "What?"

Seeing that he was about to explode again, Manman comforted him and said, "You are so busy, it's too late to concentrate on your studies. How can I bother you with my vulgar matters?"

Chen Yunzheng snorted, "It's a lie if you don't want to bother me, but it's true if you don't want me to interfere in your affairs."

Manman hurriedly laughed: "How can I, I really feel sorry for you, you see that reading is exhausting enough, I am very worried about your health, besides, scholars should do elegant things, as for gambling, it is better not to Get your hands on it."

Knowing that she was lying, Chen Yunzheng refused to let go: "You love me so much, I have to reciprocate. I love you [-] points. I am a man, so I do more and talk less, so this matter thing……"

Manman was a little nervous.What Chen Yunzheng said is not true, is it?It's not that she insists on not letting him get involved, but once he takes over, she can't expect to have an excuse to go out again. The so-called her belonging here will become a dead letter, purely a decoration, and this place is still Chen Yunzheng's property. other courtyard.

As for her, her delusion of independence is just her wishful thinking, and she still has to cling to the dodder flower that was born of him.

Manman is very unwilling.

She was thinking, what would she do if Chen Yunzheng disagreed?It's not realistic to turn around, and, maybe, he's testing her too.After all, it was an open secret that she had no confidence in him, and it was not a hidden secret that he had no confidence in her.

When the two get along, don't be too serious, otherwise she won't be the only one who loses.

Chen Yunzheng glanced at Manman, who was full of entanglements, and raised his head arrogantly, like a proud little rooster, and said: "As long as you ask me, I might change my mind..." He said, "You Please beg me, beg me" kind of shit.

Manman smiled and said, "Liu Ye is the best and best person in the world..."

Chen Yunzheng glared: "Stop doing this, just trying to get away with a few hypocritical rhetoric? It's too cheap for you."

Manman really wanted to grab the bright feathers from the big rooster's tail and gather them into a feather duster, to see how he would still be pissed off.He simply put away his laugh and said, "Really? What does the sixth master want?"

Chen Yunzheng immediately revealed a sly smile of covetousness, leaned close to Manman's ear, and said, "What about the promise you made last night? If you fulfill it tonight, I can still consider it... ah—" He called shortly Seeing Si Ling and Si Long looking over in surprise, she had to hold back, and angrily said to Manman, who quietly closed her hands and acted as if nothing had happened: "Hmph, if you have the ability to dodge the first day of junior high school, you can also dodge it." In fifteen years..."

Although Chen Yunzheng spoke harshly, he didn't have the heart to torture Manman, and he really let it go.Manman tidied up the yard briefly, then asked Si Long to set up a banquet, and invited the neighbors to come over for a gathering.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. She is a foreigner, and Leng Ding has to show goodwill to others when she arrives in their territory.If something happens in the future, don't ask them to take care of it, but as long as they don't remain indifferent and make things worse, she will be content.

Manman herself didn't come forward, she only invited Si Ling and Si Long to represent her, and only said that her girl is new here, so please take care of her in the future.

The neighbors are all locals, and they are all doing small businesses. Two of them sell snacks like Mrs. Huo, and the other two run tea stalls and vegetable stalls. They seem to be shrewd businessmen. , People who like to take advantage of a little advantage, but are timid and don't like to move forward when things happen.

They saw that Si Long was just a girl, but she was dressed gorgeously, had an extraordinary bearing, spoke neither humble nor overbearing, and was very orderly, so they knew that the "her girl" she referred to was someone with background and not easy to mess with, so they hummed as much as they could. Say something nice.

Everyone is full of wine and food, and there is harmony.

At the end, Si Long distributed a box of snacks to each family, and only said that he would like to take care of him in the future.

Chen Yunzheng has been here a few times, and everyone can't help but secretly suspect what kind of relationship he has with this newly moved Miss Su.Si Ling and Si Long didn't deliberately hide it, they only said that they were distant relatives.

Everyone nodded frequently, not believing it in their hearts.Lonely men and widows, how can they help each other for no reason?But if they don't say anything, they won't be so stupid as to ask others what they guessed.

Manman's thinking for several days has also come to fruition, she plans to open a dim sum shop.

When she was in Chen's Mansion, she saw that Chen Yunzheng was full of praise for Chunxian's dim sum. At that time, she only thought that he was just flattering him for saving face, but when he really left Chen's Mansion, she went to the market and found out There are very few snacks that can really be bought with exquisite workmanship and suitable taste.

In comparison, Chunxian's craftsmanship is already one of the rarest of all. If she opens a dim sum shop, she will soon be full of guests.

However, it is impossible for Chunxian to be recruited by Manman. Although Manman is regretful, she is not discouraged.She asked Si Ling and Si Long to inquire about recruiting some staff.

It is not that easy to find the right person as soon as possible, and it takes several rounds of screening.

During this period, Manman was not idle either. She asked someone to repaint the wall in front of the store, and renovated it from inside to outside.

Seeing that she was so busy every day that her feet didn't touch the ground, and that she was sleepy and top-heavy when she returned, Chen Yunzheng felt distressed, but he didn't say much, and just asked Si Yi to make more nutritious soup for her body.

He didn't provoke her at night.

Manman just touched the bed, Chen Yunzheng was itchy, wandering around with dishonest hands, lighting Manman's body, she didn't even feel a little bit, let alone respond, she didn't even have the energy to refuse, she just mumbled After two protests, he went to play chess with Duke Zhou again.

After working for more than a month, Su Manman's dim sum shop officially opened.Early in the morning, several firecrackers were set off, and a staff member tore away the plaque that had been covered with red silk, and the three gold-lettered signboards on a black background of "Yishengju" revealed their true colors.

Two young men were holding big baskets, dressed in new and clean clothes, and were smiling at the door to attract customers: "Everyone, come and have a look, Yi Sheng Ju is open today, and I will give you a free tasting of more than a dozen new dim sums launched by the store. Come first serve, those who start slowly will be able to wait for tomorrow..."

At first, everyone was just standing not far away to watch the fun, some were envious, some were jealous, and some were sighing. Suddenly they heard that it was a free gift, and immediately, like a tide, they flocked to the waiter. .

The guys stood in front of the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone, don't worry, line up in order, everyone has a share, taste it well, welcome everyone to visit again, if the food is not good, please give us more opinions..."
