Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 149

Manman's life is very comfortable.

Mr. Wen is very easy to get along with, amiable and approachable. He speaks unhurriedly, and chatting with him can always taste the true meaning of life.Just like a generous and benevolent elder, there is no pressure to be with him, only deep feelings and experiences.

Mrs. Wen is even more like a loving mother.Her gaze and every movement towards Manman carried the tolerance and pampering of a mother.What she likes and dislikes is not imposed on Manman.

The yard is not big, but Mrs. Wen still set up a small yard for Manman alone. There are three main rooms. Manman lives in one, the other is for receiving guests, and the remaining one was originally intended for her to stack. It was for sundries, but Manman said that she lived alone in the empty space anyway, so she simply asked Si Ling and Si Long to live opposite.

Manman gets up early every day, walks in the yard to stretch her muscles and bones, and then goes to greet Mrs. Wen after a little grooming.Both Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen got up early. When Manman went, Mr. Wen had already gone out for a walk. Manman helped Mrs. Wen make breakfast and talked with her by the way.

After persisting for two days, Mrs. Wen said with a smile: "I know you are filial, but you don't have to show it in these trivial matters. I'm used to it. I've been doing it for more than ten years, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. You It’s different, I’m afraid it’s fun once in a while, but if it goes on like this, I’m afraid it’s a burden for you. What you used to be is what you are now, don’t be too constrained.”

Manman really doesn't like cooking.When Mrs. Wen said this, she felt embarrassed, blinked her eyes, and said: "Let's practice more with my mother, and learn a few good dishes."

Mrs. Wen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "A girl like you has good looks, a gentle temper, and is practical and motivated. She is neither arrogant nor impatient. It is really rare. It can be seen that Yan Yan has a good eye, which also proves that he is also a lucky person. .Men are all greedy for appetite. If you can cook a few special dishes, he will only enjoy them and praise them. But you are a young girl after all. You should cherish yourself and do everything you can. Enough is enough. If you want to learn, I will teach you specially at noon. You don’t have to wake up so early every day. It’s the time for girls to sleep in. You can sleep a little longer to refresh your spirit. Don’t take advantage of it. When you are not married, you enjoy the blessings in your natal family, but once you are married, you will not be able to relax, and you will not be able to rest even if you want to."

The words were so sweet, Manman leaned on Mrs. Wen's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "I wanted to be brave, but I was so happy to hear what my mother said. It is said that a child with a mother is like a treasure, and it is true. .”

Mrs. Wen laughed: "What do you do to be brave? A woman should be soft when she should be soft, and stand up when she should stand up. It depends on when and what is right."

Manman also occasionally comes to help in the morning.

She has to deal with the affairs of Yishengju every day, trivial and busy.

For example, personnel issues, some clever folks watched Yishengju she opened to make money, and thought they had become a teacher, so they packed up their burdens and left, and started a new business within a few days, making dim sum exactly like Yishengju to challenge .

There is also the problem of getting along with the surrounding neighbours.As long as someone gets rich, it can always arouse people's jealousy very quickly.Everyone saw that Yishengju looked scary, but in fact they had no background, so some people pretended to buy dim sum and turned to cover their stomachs to find trouble, saying that they vomited after eating dim sum, and demanded compensation from Yishengju.

There is also the issue of competition with surrounding dim sum shops.From time to time, a guy would recommend himself to do part-time jobs. He usually has a mischievous look, but in his spare time, he would greet the master and make friends with him, and he would never leave the secret recipe of dim sum.

From time to time, there are dim sum interviews that imitate Yishengju, but the price is much cheaper, and it is almost obvious to compete with Yishengju for customers.

Even Yishengju has internal problems.Manman raised the salaries of the two masters. They popularized the business knowledge of confidentiality and loyalty, and prevented the occurrence of vicious incidents such as being poached from various aspects.

But life is often not as simple as imagined, and accidents happen from time to time.

Manman often introduces new styles of dim sum, and tries not to pin her hope of Yishengju on a certain master. She even regularly trains the skills of those who seem to be honest and responsible, so that the master chef will not be able to help them one day. No one can stand up to him when he is gone.

Therefore, Manman often has to go out of the mansion to sit in Yishengju to deal with these trivial matters.

Mrs. Wen was very tolerant. When Manman wanted to leave the mansion, she didn't even ask the reason. She was very warm and courteous and asked people to prepare the sedan chair or carriage, and ordered the servants to escort them and ensure Manman's safety.In addition, every time I would give Manman some pocket money, and said: "There is not much money, just prepare it in case there is something urgent, or do nothing, you occasionally see something you like on the street, Even to buy some snacks."

Manman likes this feeling very much.

Don't care about the amount of money, but care about this kind of mother's thoughtfulness and love for her daughter.

This made Manman feel like returning to being a girl back then.Adolescent girls rarely meet enlightened menopausal mothers, wantonly make friends outside, keep their own little secrets unlimitedly, have the greatest possible freedom, do whatever they want, and are not afraid of being spied on and questioned all the time.

You can confide when you are wronged, share when you are happy, and even get inspiration and sympathy from this older, tolerant, and wise friend.

After getting along for a long time, Manman and Mrs. Wen talked more and more, and Manman would occasionally ask about Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen.Mrs. Wen also knows everything.

Mrs. Wen is four years older than Mr. Wen.

In ancient times, it was very common for wives to be several years older than their husbands. There is a saying: "A freshman girl holds a golden rooster, and a third year girl holds a golden brick."But like Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen, like her and Chen Yunzheng, there is also a common saying "a female senior, be an old mother", but it is full of derogation and ridicule.

This is also one of the reasons why Manman resisted marrying Chen Yunzheng.

Although Manman didn't show surprise, Mrs. Wen still laughed at herself and explained: "We were ordered by our parents back then, and the words of the matchmaker, sir, he was reluctant at first."

This also shows from the side that women are older than men, and they are not very welcomed and blessed in the secular world.

Manman groaned and said: "Oh, I really didn't see it, I just thought that father and mother are a pair of gods and gods who are made in heaven and earth."

Mrs. Wen brushed off her temple hair, with a layer of embarrassment floating on her face, she said: "How can there be so many gods and couples? Not to be resentful spouses is already a blessing from heaven."

According to Mrs. Wen, she and Mr. Wen have been "respecting each other as guests" for a long time after they got married.Although Mr. Wen was full of reluctance, but since his parents' orders cannot be disobeyed, he would still marry Mrs. Wen no matter how unwilling he was, so he didn't want to start chaotically and end up abandoning him. Husband's responsibility.

Mrs. Wen is a gentle and virtuous woman, as well as a smart, kind and patient woman.She was not in a hurry to please Mr. Wen, nor did she use the guilt of her mother-in-law to force Mr. Wen to be a loving couple with her.

She just does her job and does her part.Respect parents-in-law first, uncle and sister-in-law next time, and at the same time take good care of Mr. Wen.

In their husband and wife, the steady flow of water, the most accurate interpretation of seeing people's hearts over time.No matter what the husband and wife have experienced, in short, they have developed the deepest relationship in their day-to-day relationship, which is not love but stronger than family affection.

Although Mrs. Wen didn't say anything, Manman made the calculations in her heart. They have gone through this process for five years.

That is to say, Mr. Wen did not consummate the house with Mrs. Wen until five years after they got married. At that time, Mr. Wen had already become a famous Confucian of his generation, and Mrs. Wen had already passed the most beautiful youth of a girl and turned into a 23-year-old mature young woman. .

In August of the sixth year of marriage, Mrs. Wen became pregnant, and in May of the seventh year of marriage, Mrs. Wen gave birth to their eldest daughter and their only daughter—Sister Man.

The husband and wife love this belated daughter for 10 minutes. They have taught her piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and embroidery since she was a child.This Sister Man was born with beautiful appearance, dignified and generous, intelligent and talented, and Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen loved her for 10 minutes.It's a pity that Mrs. Wen suffered a lot when she gave birth to her. Not to mention the physical injuries of Mrs. Man, Sister Man also fell to the root of the disease, and coughed incessantly in winter.

Finally, in the winter when she was 11 years old, she accidentally contracted a cold, and her cough intensified. In the end, she had a high fever and turned into coughing up blood, and finally died.

After all, Mrs. Wen still shed cold tears, and said with a miserable smile: "In this life, I have betrayed my husband. Since Sister Daman left, I have no intention of living. I went, firstly to reunite with Sister Man, so that I can take care of her, and secondly, to free my husband as soon as possible. He is only in his early thirties, and with his talent and appearance, he wants to continue. But the husband said, whether there are children or not, it is a predestined fate in the previous life, and I can't force it. But the husband and wife are engraved on the Sansheng Stone long ago, and human beings can't disobey them. Since he married me After becoming a husband and wife, I made up my mind to live forever. If I insisted on abandoning him and passed away, he would not remarry again. He even made a promise before my bed that he would never accept me again in this lifetime, whether I lived or died. concubine……"

Manman let out a soft ah.

Mrs. Wen laughed: "Is the little girl full of admiration and admiration for your father? In fact, at my age, you don't think so anymore. There are three unfilial acts, and the greatest thing is to have no offspring. I failed to leave him Having a son and a half daughter will be my regret in this life. Even if he doesn't care, I can't forgive myself..."

Mrs. Wen said with emotion: "But then again, who is not selfish? If I personally take a concubine for him and push him to another woman, I will not be able to sleep peacefully all night. The life I want to live Compared to that, the gossip and gossip of the world is not so important..."
