Zhang Xiaoman didn't know what to say, so he said, "I'm hungry, let's eat first." ”

Qi Jimin happily took Zhang Xiaoman to the front hall to eat, in fact, Zhang Xiaoman thought it was very troublesome, but it was not good to sprinkle another handful of salt on Qi Jimin's already injured wounds, she silently endured it.

Xi Po didn't eat with them, Zhang Xiaoman wanted to persuade her, and thought of Xi Po's prejudice against her, Qi Jimin didn't think it was inappropriate, so she saw Xi Po on the side, she had to continue to endure and pretend not to see it.

In fact, this is the first time Zhang Xiaoman has eaten in a formal manner, only to find that many rules are very strict with women and servants, she has been running around before, let alone eating, even if she wants to eat well and be full, where are there so many rules, today she saw the general courtesy of high society for the first time, but she thought in her heart that she would not be like this in the future, and she must not let this era change her.

Qi Jimin didn't know what she was thinking, thinking that the dishes on the table were not to Zhang Xiaoman's taste, and said to Xi Po: "Let Xiaoman read the dishes next time and then decide, and add two more dishes." ”

Zhang Xiaoman wanted to say a second ago that she didn't like to eat these dishes but didn't know how to start, and was blocked by Qi Jimin's last sentence, there are twenty or thirty kinds of dishes, plus there are only three people to eat, but he is still too little, it is really not the same people, and the thinking level is different, but it is too wasteful.

Zhang Xiaoman put down his chopsticks and said, "I think it's enough, there are only three of us, and next time four or five dishes will be about the same." Why waste. ”

She originally wanted to say how many people starved without food, how many people were starved to death, and how many people had never seen rice in their lives, but different people had different fates, and it was not Qi Jimin's fault, so she didn't need to say so strictly, so she only said a few words of her thoughts.

Unexpectedly, it was not Qi Jimin who refuted first, but Xi Po, "The young master has always lived like this, if Miss Xiaoman lives here." You have to get used to it. If you can't get used to eating, you can also open your own small stove. ”

"Sipo!" Qi Jimin immediately interrupted, and the chopsticks in his hand were immediately put down, "Xiaoman is my honored guest." I hope you can take care of her. ”

Xi Po lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head. "Got it. Master. ”

Zhang Xiaoman hurriedly said: "Actually, what Xi Po said is right, this is not a big deal, there is no need to be so strict." "She just wanted to break the atmosphere. But some people don't like her anywhere.

Xi Po said: "Miss Xiao Man doesn't have to worry too much, Xi Po knows what to do. ”

Qi Jimin was dissatisfied with Xi Po's statement and wanted to speak again, Zhang Xiaoman cut off the conversation first, "Stop talking, see that these dishes are cold, and it will be a real waste if you don't eat them." "Pick up chopsticks and eat the food in a big gulp.

Qi Jimin saw that Zhang Xiaoman didn't care much, so he comforted a little in his heart, and said to Xi Po: "Save a little next time, four or five dishes are too few, eight or nine, let Xiaoman take a look at the menu before deciding." ”

Xi Po, who had never been spoken out loud by Qi Jimin in front of outsiders, didn't know what it was like in her heart, and nodded with difficulty, "Yes." ”

"Also, if Xiaoman wants to cook by herself, Xi Po will prepare a fire for Xiaoman, don't smoke her." Qi Jimin stroked his chin and thought about it, and added, "Xiao Man's request doesn't need to be told to me, what she said is what I said, does Xi Po understand?" ”

"Understood." Xi Po doesn't dare to say a word now, a man will definitely have an accident when he meets a woman, look, isn't it coming, if you are so conniving now, I don't know what will happen in the future.

Xi Po looked at Zhang Xiaoman, who had almost buried her head in the bowl, and didn't understand if she was hungry and hadn't eaten for many days? I can eat so much without stopping.

What the innocent Zhang Xiaoman was thinking at the moment was that she didn't expect Qi Jimin to start a fire that was quite terrifying, and even Xi Po couldn't avoid suffering, so she had to be careful in the future, for fear that she would become a target as soon as she raised her head, so she could only bury her head and suffer hard.

However, it's hard to eat all the time, okay?

"Eat more meat, you see your skinny bones." Qi Jimin didn't notice Zhang Xiaoman's embarrassment, and gave her a non-stop pick-up, wanting to let Zhang Xiaoman eat all the dishes on the table.

Zhang Xiaoman wanted to cry without tears, so she had to hold the bowl in her arms to cover it, "You spare me, I'll hold it up." ”

The pitiful appearance made Qi Jimin can't help but sigh, the dishes are no longer clipped, and the rice is no longer eaten, and he only watches Zhang Xiaoman eat intently, which makes Zhang Xiaoman even more bitter and hateful.

Zhang Xiaoman stayed after the meal, she didn't have so many taboos, and she wouldn't have anything to do with Qi Jimin anyway, so she wouldn't think much about it, and she liked this house very much, she could live here without going back to sleep on the straw, why not, as for those gossips, it's not that Zhang Xiaoman doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that she won't spread other rumors when she goes back alone.

This era is not an era of absolute security, she is a little girl, living outside does not say that she will suffer hardships, no one has to take care of her, and she can't find anyone for anything, although the Qi family mansion is not an absolutely beautiful place, but at least the environment is beautiful and the conditions are good, and the most important thing is that as long as Qi Jimin is done, the whole mansion will be done, easy and simple to enjoy peace, a good life is just to go out to find death.

Zhang Xiaoman's thought was very simple, his wife had passed the three years peacefully, waiting for Jin Xuan to come to her, if she could still do something in three years, it would be great.

She slept peacefully, Xi Po was keeping vigil outside, Qi Jimin stood outside for a long time, Xi Po waited in the house for a long time, until he turned to leave, Xi Po fell asleep with a frown in the moonlight.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't have this consciousness to live the life of the eldest lady all of a sudden, she felt that the elders in the family were stricter, the little ones were more particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, the etiquette and etiquette were too cumbersome, and there were restrictions on going out to do things, and the rest was just an experience, and it was better to do more other things if she thought so much.

Zhang Xiaoman said other things refer to practicing words and reading books, practicing words is to read books, she wants to write a little essays, if she can go back in the future, then this essays are the testimony of her dreams, proving that she is not a trip in vain, nor is she wasting her time, as for where to go back, Zhang Xiaoman felt very desperate when she thought about this problem, and the sadness emanating from her heart made her not think much about it, only knowing that there was a place where she came at the beginning, and this was not her hometown since she was a child. She can understand the text here, but she can't write, Zhang Xiaoman feels strange, but she is willing to learn, and she concentrates on pondering every day, and her progress is very fast.

After a while, she realized that she was living for nothing in the Qi family's mansion, Zhang Xiaoman didn't know where to know the skills of settling accounts, which was not only fast and practical, but he wanted to teach Qi Jimin a little feedback, but he hadn't been able to learn it for a long time, Zhang Xiaoman was very annoyed, and wondered if he had to go out to find a job to do otherwise he would be uneasy, Qi Jimin said: "You can help me." ”

Zhang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Do you rest assured that you will hand over the account book to me?" ”

Qi Jimin smiled meaningfully, "Anyway, you have to take care of it sooner or later, what's the difference between a little earlier and a little later." ”

Zhang Xiaoman's eyes widened: "What? ”

Qi Jimin surrendered with both hands, "Okay, okay, don't joke with you, I really need you to help me, you know that there are no people around me, there are only a few people who can be trusted from childhood to adulthood, and they won't settle accounts, and I'm worried that others will be placed by my side, and I haven't dared to find someone from the outside, so I've always been in charge of the accounts alone, and now I can make it a lot easier to have you, aren't you my sister?" ”

said that if Zhang Xiaoman didn't agree, it would be like his life, Zhang Xiaoman dared to shirk it, so he agreed, and followed Qi Jimin to manage the accounts in the future.

What she knows is only the method of managing accounts, and inexplicable characters appear as soon as she starts her hands, she can't quite say what those characters represent and what their meanings are, but she just knows how to use the characters and how to use them skillfully, sometimes Qi Jimin will wonder where she knows this, but Zhang Xiaoman herself can't say clearly, where can she explain it clearly to Qi Jimin.

After a long time, Qi Jimin didn't ask, even if Zhang Xiaoman occasionally popped up one or two sentences like the tadpole text recorded in the book, he could deal with it calmly, and he would introduce two books similar to this to Zhang Xiaoman when he had time, and the two got along very happily.

Zhang Xiaoman found from Qi Jimin's account book that Qi Jimin was really a little rich, she always thought that Qi Jimin was a barefoot doctor, living a simple life and having no money at hand, and relying on the family's help to live so well, but she didn't expect Qi Jimin to start doing business at a young age, and he did it decently.

Zhang Xiaoman asked about this, Qi Jimin said indifferently: "In the past, these were all managed by my mother, and after my mother left, she left them to me, and I just managed them alone, I didn't expect that there would be such development now, and it was all about making money, but I used to underestimate my mother, she must not be a simple person who can manage these things, she actually sacrificed herself in vain for love, and I don't know if she will regret it again." ”

"Probably not." Zhang Xiaoman blurted out, only to realize that her mouth was too fast, Qi Jimin was waiting for her to continue, Zhang Xiaoman could only bite the bullet and say: "Many things are destined to have the same ending from the beginning, even if you do it again, it may not be better, maybe it will be worse?" Even if you know the ending, you will go all the way to the dark, and that is us. ”

"Well said!" Qi Jimin applauded, looking at Zhang Xiaoman's eyes shining, "I also think that if my mother chooses again, she will still choose the original path, but Xi Po doesn't believe it, she just thinks that her mother will turn back." She wouldn't have known that as long as my mother met my father, it was destined to have only one ending. (To be continued......)
