Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 221 Wake Up
The two of them entangled endlessly, and Si Long had a headache. It's a time of trouble, Si Ling doesn't talk about being a man with his tail between his legs, what's the use of talking bravely with Sixth Grandma's people?

She managed to suppress the anger in her heart, knowing that Jinxiu was the first to provoke, and Si Ling was just defending herself, so she signaled Si Zhen to stop Si Ling, and said to Jinxiu with a smile: "Miss Jinxiu, don't care about Si Ling, she is just a temper tantrum , can’t speak, my lord don’t count the faults of villains, please take more care, otherwise the master will blame you, and we slaves will not be left behind, okay?”

Jinxiu snorted, glared at Si Ling who was stopped by Si Zhen, and said, "I came here at the order of grandma. Did you finish the job I gave Miss Su yesterday?"

Si Long also hated Jinxiu's dominance, but she had to bow her head under the eaves.Even though Wen could not tolerate the four of them, the "family law" just now was aimed at Miss Su.The deed of prostitution is held in the hands of the sixth grandmother, and Miss Su and the sixth master are in trouble like this again, and the Wen family has an excuse to teach others at any time.

Si Long hurriedly answered, "It's all done, and it's in my room. Miss Jinxiu, come with me to order some..."

Jin Xiu didn't move, and said: "I didn't say that, you guys are too big, if grandma doesn't urge you, you won't move, right? Since it's done, why don't you hand it over earlier, if I don't come, will you Another day of messing around?"

Si Ji frowned.This Jinxiu didn't hurt her back when she stood and talked, and the four of them had to get up early and work in the dark for a few days, and they barely finished it this morning. Her words made them think they were lazy.

Si Ling jumped angrily: "I'm going to tear your mouth open, you rotten bastard. What are you talking about? Who's messing around for a day? We didn't get paid for nothing. Who is your slave? He deserves it!" Can't I do needlework for you all to death?"

Jinxiu sneered and said: "Miss Si Ling, I don't understand what she said. Why do you call it sewing for our family? Grandma ordered that only Miss Su should do the job alone, and even grandma herself is not free. As an example, I made a lot of clothes, shoes and socks for Liu Ye, why, Miss Su has a complaint in her heart, can't she do it if she doesn't want to?"

The more we talked about it, the less good it was. I turned around and got Miss Su in, and passed it to the sixth master and grandma sixth.Si Long hurriedly stopped Jinxiu and said with a smile: "How can this be, let alone doing needlework for Liu Ye, my girl is willing to do anything, but you also know that my girl's needlework is not particularly good, we A few of them are just helping the girl..." In any case, this chapter has been uncovered.

Jinxiu was picky and said a lot of nasty things, in short, she thought her needlework was not good enough.After finally calming down, she told the little girl to take it away, and then assigned the work for the next few days.

Si Long gritted his teeth and took it, thinking: Miss Su's temperament hasn't changed yet, how can she have the mood and time to do needlework for Master Liu?She secretly grumbled and did not speak, only talked about Jinxiu, took out the pamphlet, and said: "Grandma heard that Miss Su lost her temper and smashed a lot of things, so she asked me to come over and see what was smashed, so I can pay the bill later. , so as not to wrong a good person to Jing Bai in the future."

Although she spoke harshly, it was reasonable, so Si Long went to call the door.Manman didn't stop her this time, and opened the door to let them in.As soon as Jinxiu entered the room, she said distressedly: "Oh, this is the master's favorite antique from the previous dynasty. It fell like this, but I feel so sorry... This is Madam's favorite vase, it is worth thousands of taels of silver... ..."

As she spoke, she jotted down everything she wrote down, and when she brought it to Manman, she said, "Miss Su, have you taken a look at it? Don't talk nonsense with red mouth and white teeth, these are grandma's dowry , if you have read it and there is nothing wrong with it, just give grandma a promise, when will you pay for all these things..."

Si Long was trembling with anger, and when he took a look at the general account, he was so angry that he couldn't speak: there were as many as 2 taels.Si Long couldn't help but said, "It's just that it looks better, so why is it worth so much money?"

Jinxiu sneered and said: "Miss Si Long, if you don't understand, then don't talk, you don't have to have a good time and laugh your teeth out, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, you can buy it back as it is, and see how much I get for the 2 taels of silver. I want your never..."

Manman's face turned a little blue, but she held her breath, and when she was exhausted, she said: "I will return grandma's money as soon as possible."

Jinxiu brushed her temple hair, looked at Manman with pale complexion and swollen eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss Su is really majestic and admirable. With your words, I can talk to grandma. It's just how fast it is." Woolen cloth?"

Manman's long hair hangs down, and the corners of her mouth are broken, a little blue.The clothes on her body were also worn indiscriminately. Although she was sitting, she was a little swaying, and she seemed to be in a trance and very tired.

For a moment, Jinxiu couldn't figure out what happened to Chen Yunzheng and Su Manman in the room just now.See what this means, was beaten?

Live it!

Manman took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice: "Please tell grandma, give me a grace period of one or two months..."

Si Long was a little anxious and called out "girl".Manman had some spare money on hand, but it was only 5000 taels, which was still the little surplus earned by Yishengju. Later, the business became difficult, so there was no income.

It's still not enough to pay off the debt. Let alone a month or two, it's a year or two. Where do you go to pick up the remaining money?

Manman is no better than Wen's. She has a good father and mother. Once she gets married, she has a lot of money and countless dowries. She can survive with such a small amount of money. How does Rico live?

Jinxiu sneered disdainfully, and said: "Grandma is kind, so naturally she won't force you to pay back the debt, but people have to be a little bit shameless, right? It's only natural to pay back the debt, Miss Su should think of a plan as soon as possible. Otherwise, the people who closed the house Pointing and saying that grandma's hole was blocked with Liu Ye's money, that would be a joke, our grandma can't afford to lose face."

Without her prodding, Manman wouldn't ask Chen Yunzheng for money, she accepted the order, and indifferently told Si Long: "Send Miss Jinxiu for me."

Seeing that she was in such a mess, Jinxiu put on an inviolable appearance, looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, and snorted, "Miss Su, please rest, your body is yours, no one cares about you, you have to care about yourself , don’t lose more than you gain, love and money are all belongings outside your body, if you don’t bring it with you when you die, you won’t take it with you..." After saying that, he proudly got up and went out.

Man-man is indifferent to her adding fuel to the fire.

Isn't it just to see her jokes?Let them watch it if they want to watch it, she won't be keen to show it to them, and naturally she won't watch it when they get tired of watching it.Isn't it just to make things worse?From the beginning when she fell into the status of Tongfang, she knew that this day would come.

What are these worth?
Physical pain is superimposed on mental pain, as long as you get used to it, it doesn't hurt that much.Human life is very fragile, but it is also very resilient. After all, the desire to live is stronger than the desire to die.

The left ear goes in, the right ear goes out, she doesn't live for others.

Si Long quickly turned back and said as soon as he entered the door: "Miss, your money cannot be moved."

Manman lowered her head and twisted her fingers, and let out an indifferent hum.

Si Long was in a hurry: "Girl, go and admit your mistake to Liu Ye. The situation is beyond your control. If this continues, how can you have a place in this mansion? Now is not the time to vent your anger..."

Manman looked up at Si Long, with an empty smile on his face, and asked, "Do you think I'm angry with him? Do you think I have a reason to take money from him by begging him? You Think……"

She suddenly started laughing, but the corners of her eyes were dry and she didn't have a single tear. She smiled for a while, then looked up at the exquisite carved beams and paintings on the roof, and murmured: "Wake up, don't be self-righteous."

Manman didn't say this to Si Long, but to herself.

A friend once jokingly asked: If you can really travel through time, what dynasty do you want to time travel to?Some people say they want to go back to the Tang Dynasty, because in the era of the empress, you can live a queen's addiction.Some said they wanted to go back to the Han Dynasty. It was an era when heroes were born in large numbers. Which girl does not have a hero complex?Some people said that they wanted to go back to the Qing Dynasty, especially those elder brothers who seized the throne, whoever they picked up would be a handsome guy...

Only Manman didn't catch a cold, saying that she didn't want to time travel at all.

She is not a little girl who loves to dream. She thinks that love is the most important thing, and love is the only thing. If you have love, you don't have to think about daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and you don't need to eat and drink.

She knew that she was not brave and decisive enough, cruel enough, gentle enough in temper, sensible enough, and not good at scheming.

But the world is impermanent, now this is not a question of "what if" or "what if", but a bloody reality. Even if there is a definite answer, Manman dare not choose rashly.

Her life is her own, and there is only one time, if she chooses wrong, it will be wiped out.

She really doesn't think there is anything good about ancient times.Not to mention the inconvenient living conditions everywhere, let’s just talk about the simplest, the inequality between men and women, and the lack of freedom for women is a headache.

Whenever there is power, women still want to raise a few face heads, so why let a man only guard you?Women will grow old. After staying with someone for a long time, even a fairy will get tired of the face all day long. What's more, people's emotions are far from rational, and there will always be petty tempers, misunderstandings, quarrels, and hurts... How can you tell a man not to like the new and dislike the old?
Emotionally, Manman is a bit of a clean freak. At least in modern society, she can accept the principle of being unfaithful once and not being used a hundred times. Men used to be flirtatious, as long as they are willing to accept their hearts when they are with her.If a man cheats in marriage, he can just divorce her, at least he doesn't have to share a man with other women...

But in this era, three wives and four concubines are the norm.

No matter how much she resisted in the past, she was still forced into this state.She can hate Wen Churuo for taking it by force, but he is qualified, capable and capable, and she, Su Manman, can only sigh to herself. She can not worry about this mess, she came in because of her own mind. Can't blame others.

She could hate Chen Yunzheng for bullying her, but she didn't know how many people were praising Chen Yunzheng for thinking about the old relationship. He didn't just let her ignore him, and he tried his best to take her in with good food and drink. He is still pampering her.

She is the one who is ignorant of current affairs.

A woman who has nothing, why should she counterattack?And what is the basis for success?It's nothing more than being capable and having the love of a man.Without the love of a man, what is a woman like her who is nothing?
She can't go out, can't make money, she is just a canary in a cage, she has been rejected by her master, and she doesn't even have the right to dress up and compete for favor.

It's not that she looks down on Zeng Chunxian's forbearance, it's because Chen Yun is protecting her in every possible way, and she can do whatever she wants.

Now that there is a real sixth grandma of the Chen family in the backyard, she really has no other way to survive except kneeling and looking up.

Manman figured it out and saw it, but she was still not sure how much she could do.The first thing to do, nothing is important, the important thing is: to survive.

Manman didn't eat a grain of rice or touch a drop of water all day. She curled up on the bed with her legs folded, her head hanging on her knees, and sat in a daze all night.

The house was not cleaned, and there was the smell of chestnut blossoms left over from the day.

She also has it on her body and in her mouth. She can't think of food now, and whenever she thinks of it, she feels sick.She rinsed her mouth several times with the cold tea, but the fishy taste was still lingering.

She dared not even swallow her saliva.

The window was wide open, and the cool air came in like a stream of cold water, wrapping around her thin and thin body, she didn't feel cold, so she just remained motionless.

She knew that she couldn't die, and she knew that living was harder than dying.She didn't know how to live, and she didn't know if she could live a beautiful tomorrow, she was left with chaos and confusion.

When it was almost dawn, Manman got out of bed in the dark by herself, and without calling anyone, she put on her clothes and left the house by herself.

Holding a copper basin, she took a basin of cold water, turned around and went into the room to silently wash off the dirt and shame on her body.

The pain is over, the shame is washed away, and everything is like a new life.Of course the past can leave imprints, but life is so tenacious, she must live on.

It's not that she has never suffered, or that she has never been a slave.She has experienced blessings and hardships, and she really decided to change her face and start over.

One basin of water was not enough, so another basin was poured, and the ice water hit her body, making Manman's teeth chatter.By the time the day dawned, she had already cleaned herself up.

His face was a little pale after being washed in cold water, but because he had rubbed it for a long time, his skin still remained a little rosy.

When the sun shone into the room, Manman pushed open the door, breathed in the fresh air in April, and felt that even though the world was not so beautiful, she was still greedy for this world of mortals.

Manman went to Qinyue Garden very early, waiting to greet Wen.

Wen Shi was as gentle as ever, and he was still so affectionate to her, as if he didn't know what happened yesterday, Xu Xu asked Manman: "Is your body better? I didn't see you yesterday. I was worried all day. , so I asked the doctor to come and have a look..."

Manman knew that she couldn't be servile, but she had indeed lowered her head, just as Wen Shi expected, without the stubborn arrogance of the past.

Whatever Wen said, she would respond, neither picky nor begging for mercy, just try her best, if she can do it, Wen will reward her, she will accept it, if she can't, Wen will punish her, she will accept it.

The Wen family is well-known as a teacher, and every reward and every punishment is fair and fair.As for whether it's really fair, only she knows, at least no one can pick the reason on the surface.

That night, Chen Yun entered Wen's room in Qinyueyuan.

Qinyue Garden was full of joy, and the maids raised their heads when they entered and exited, as if the clouds had cleared and the mist had dispersed.Instead, taking advantage of Qinfang Garden, which was deserted and dark, the candles were extinguished early, and it was as quiet as if no one lived there.

Wen shi greeted Chen Yunzheng into the room with a smile on his face, asking for warmth and warmth, not complaining that he had neglected her these days.Nothing happened all night, and when Wen woke up the next day, he smiled a bit reluctantly.

Jin Duan was careful, she saw it in her eyes, but she didn't ask any more questions.Looking at Wen's figure in private, there seemed to be no discomfort, and he was full of doubts for a while.

Chen Yunzheng looked the same as usual, he was as polite and respectful to the Wen family as a guest.Manman came to eat early in the morning, and he was not moved at all. After eating in peace, he pushed away the bowl and said he had something to do and went out.

For five consecutive days, Chen Yunzheng rested in Wen's Qinyue Garden.

Manman always comes at a fixed time, neither a moment earlier nor a moment later.When she met Chen Yunzheng, she just saluted politely, as if the two of them had never had a close past, nor had they turned against each other.

She did her part by herself, serving vegetables and water.

If she couldn't meet her, she didn't look disappointed. She served Wen's family respectfully, without arrogance or impetuosity, and Wen Wen was quiet.

He really regarded Chen Yun as the master of the family, and he was just the master.

Wen Shi turned a blind eye to this.She didn't feel very happy about Chen Yunzheng's indifference, and she didn't feel very satisfied with Su Manman's alienation.She understands very well that the battle between a man and a woman is menacing, it looks like lightning and thunder, but it goes quickly, maybe the two will be sweet and loving again in a few days.

Therefore, she just watched with cold eyes to see how the situation would develop, and because of this, she was still as friendly to Manman as before, and did not deliberately manipulate her.

That day, Manman finished the work in hand and sent it to Wen's in person, asking her for instructions: "Grandma please show me, this servant wants to go out for a while." This was the first time she made a request.

Wen asked curiously, "Oh? Are you going out?"

A female family member like Wen can usually go out when there is a banquet, but a servant girl like Manman is not qualified to go out unless the mistress gives her a favor.

Manman said calmly: "Yes." There was no further text.

She didn't take the initiative to explain what she was going to do when she went out.

Wen's heart was displeased, but his face remained calm, and he only asked: "What do you lack? Why don't you make an order. If there is nothing in the warehouse, I will ask someone to buy it." This is inaccurate.

　keep it up!
