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

"You're crazy, your current status is a fugitive, if you really go back, will you still be able to survive?"

"Otherwise, did you deceive him in vain?" Meng Shuangshuang said unwillingly.

"You're s*** on him?"

Meng Shuangshuang's face turned red: "What nonsense are you talking about, there is nothing!" ”

"Isn't that over, you now have an identity, and you are no longer a slave to someone else's house, even if you are not with that young master, you can be an upright person in the future, and live a good life, right? You didn't lose anything in this deal! Man, I don't really treat you, what are you going to do! Without this one, let's find the next one, and we will definitely find a better one. Ning Xi persuaded.

Meng Shuangshuang stopped crying: "Hey, it sounds like what you said seems to make sense." ”

"Of course it makes sense, you see that you are so good-looking, can't you still hang yourself on a broken tree? Come on, come on, in order to celebrate your freedom, let's eat this plate of lotus root flour osmanthus sugar cake! ”

When Meng Shuangshuang looked at the crystal clear pastry, he immediately forgot about his sadness: "Wow, what a sweet osmanthus flavor, what is this?" Did you do it? ”

"Well, the lotus root flour is added with rock sugar and water chestnuts cut into small dices, and after steaming, a layer of osmanthus sugar is poured on the surface, you taste it, to ensure that it is sweet and refreshing."

"It's delicious, Ning Xi, you are really amazing, anything will become very delicious as soon as you have your hands, I have never eaten such a delicious thing in the Jiang family!" As soon as the words fell, Meng Shuangshuang's face fell again.

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

"However, I don't have much money, and I can't ask you to cook alone every day, so I think I'll 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 this, my family runs an inn, and after listening to it a lot, you will naturally understand."

"That's right. However, girls as big as you in the city are all kept at home like babies, and where is it like you, working in the inn with your face exposed, your aunt is too much! ”

"It's nothing, in fact, I'm more afraid that she will lock me up at home and suffocate to death. But it's strange to say, she has been very nice to me lately, and two days ago she made me a new dress, bought a new hairpin, and took me out as a guest, I was a little flattered. ”

"These people are very face-loving, probably for outsiders to see, who do you say she took you to be a guest?"

"The family surnamed Sun should be quite rich, and the family background should be much better than the Ning family, and there were several wives with them at that time, all with girls about the same age as me."

"Could it be that your aunt is trying to find you a mother-in-law? I also saw it in the Jiang family at the beginning, and their daughter-in-law looked at each other like this. ”

"It's impossible, it's too far away, aren't all marriages a good deal?"

"That's not necessarily, as the saying goes, marry high and marry low, not to mention Ningxi, although you are thin and small, you still look very delicate, and you look quite quiet when you don't speak, maybe people can really take a fancy to you!"

"Then I don't want to, if I have to get married, I must marry someone I like." Ning Xi said firmly.

"Also, you must not be a concubine, my mother said, the life of a concubine is completely in the hands of the master's mother, and you have to be a man with your tail between your legs for the rest of your life, not to mention how aggrieved you are." Meng Shuangshuang added.

Meng Shuangshuang began to go to the street on the second day to find a job, she worked as a maid for a big family, knew the rules, worked quickly, and looked good, if she was willing to sell herself, it was still easy to find a rich family to be a big girl, but of course she was not willing to give up her hard-won freedom, and she refused to sign a deed of sale with others.

If you don't sign a deed of sale, the master will not treat you as your own person, and naturally will not let you serve you closely, so you can only do some heavy work. Meng Shuangshuang is lucky, it just so happened that there was a shortage of maidservants in the house of the wealthy businessman Sun in the city, so Meng Shuangshuang gave it to the top, and the food and clothing were the same as the people in the house, but the monthly silver was less than half of the people in the house, and the advantage was that he wanted to leave at any time, just say it in advance.

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

"That's right, it's the Sun family."

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

"That's a word. I'm going to eat the delicious food you made in the future! ”

"No problem, I can't forget you if there's something delicious."

Meng Shuangshuang happily went to work at Sun's house, Ning Xi was still her cook in the Ning family inn, and when she was busy at night, she hid in her own afternoon to count her private money.

Because the food made by Ningxi is delicious, gradually Ningjia Inn has some reputation in Yunhai City, and there are more guests, sometimes there are some slightly richer guests, the guests eat happily, and occasionally reward Ningxi with a few copper plates.

During this period, Tang Xueqin took Ning Xi to the Sun family again, this time only the two of them were guests, Mrs. Sun treated her very kindly, took her hand and asked long and short questions, Ning Xi dealt with them one by one, and Tang Xueqin was very happy when she came back, and gave her a pure gold fork. It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to see Meng Shuangshuang, I haven't seen her for more than ten days, Ning Xi still misses her, and I don't know if she's doing well.

It rained heavily this night, Ning Xi hid in the quilt and counted the money, and was about to sleep well, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door, she suspected that she had heard it wrong, and listened carefully to the bed for a while, this time it was real, not only someone knocked on the door, but also someone shouted her name, and the voice was very Meng Shuangshuang.

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

Meng Shuangshuang was drenched, and he couldn't breathe, and then continued: "Ningxi, I, I have something very important to tell you." ”

"Come in and talk about it!" Ning Xi couldn't help but pull her into the house, found her a dress to change into, and took a handkerchief to wipe her hair, "If there is something that can't be said the next day, I have to run over in such a heavy rain, alas, no, I still have to cook you a bowl of ginger soup." ”

"Don't!" Meng Shuangshuang glanced at the main room vigilantly, "Don't wake up your uncle and aunt." ”

Ning Xi glanced over there, there was no movement at all, Ning Xi's house was close to the back door, so he could hear the sound of knocking on the door, the main house was still a little far from here, the rain was falling heavily, and there was no sound at all: "It's okay, I can't hear it over there, let's go to the kitchen and talk while cooking ginger soup." ”

Wash and peel the ginger, cut it into thin strips, crush the garlic, put a bowl of water in the pot, put the ginger shreds in it and boil, add a spoonful of brown sugar after cooking the taste, stir well, cook for a while, and finally add the crushed garlic and cook for a while.

Ning Xi was busy with her hands and feet neatly, while listening to Meng Shuangshuang tell about her earth-shattering discovery.

"You know what? The Sun family has been passed down for several generations, and now there is only one son under the knee of the Sun family, named Sun Tianyou, but unfortunately the Sun family has done too much evil, and even God does not bless his family, this Sun Tianyou is actually a natural idiot, this grows to the age of twenty, and can only eat and play stupidly, not even a three-year-old child. ”

Ning Xi frowned and said: "It's none of your business if people are stupid, just do your own thing, don't meddle in your own affairs, so as not to get into trouble." "Although Ning Xi has never been a subordinate, he also knows that it is not a good thing that the master is found out.

"The problem is that although that fool is stupid, there are a lot of things that a man should have, and he arches people everywhere like a boar in estrus all day long, and Master Sun and Mrs. Sun always indulge him, and many maids in the house have been poisoned by him."

"Well, you have to be careful."

"I do laundry in the backyard, I never walk around, it's fine! Oh, what I want to say is not this, I heard something tonight, I hurried over in spite of the heavy rain, I just wanted to sue you, Master Sun and Mrs. Sun are going to marry their stupid son, who is that poor daughter-in-law, do you know? ”

"How would I know?"

"Why are you your second aunt so active these days and taking you to Sun's house to visit the door? You see that she made you new clothes and new jewelry, do you think it is really because the food you made is delicious and the business in the inn is good, so she specially thanked you? ”

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

Meng Shuangshuang bent down to pick up the rag and threw it aside: "That's right, she is simply a weasel giving New Year's greetings to chickens, and she is uneasy and kind!" You're still here bothering to help her cook and attract guests. Ning Xi, hurry up and think about it, you must not be married into the Sun family like this, I heard that the Sun fool only grinned and giggled all day long, and the Ha Lazi was full of disgust and died. ”

"I see, thank you Shuangshuang, I'll figure it out." Ning Xi's heart was cold, but he didn't expect to finally get rid of the fate of being sold into the mountains in the countryside, but it turned out that he had just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den.

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

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

"I know in my heart that I will get this month's monthly silver in a few days, and I won't do it when I get the silver."

Sending Meng Shuangshuang away, Ning Xi returned to the room but couldn't sleep anymore, did he know about it? Is there any other way for her to go but to escape?
