Chapter 150: I am not a good concubine, and I refuse to marry
Ai Qiaoqiao made a big show at Mrs. Luo's birthday banquet.
Many guests came to ask about her, and the shopkeeper Luo was surrounded by people, and he couldn't get out even if he dispersed.
Mrs. Luo accompanied the old lady back to the back house.
"Someone, invite Miss Qiaoqiao over." Mrs. Luo commanded.
A maid ran to the kitchen to look for Ai Qiaoqiao.
Ai Qiaoqiao was talking to Master Xie.
Chef Xie has been wandering alone in Huai'an City for many years, relying only on this cooking skill.
Deyue Lou is now gone, and he doesn't want to go to other restaurants, but wants to make that fish-flavored shredded pork with all his heart.
Ai Qiaoqiao was going to go back to Xiaofang Village after settling the accounts with Luo Fu, and she still had to wait for the night to come back.
But Master Xie wanted to follow her.
Ai Qiaoqiao was trying desperately to convince him to give up this idea, and the maid from Luofu arrived.
"Our lady asks Miss Qiaoqiao to come over."
Ai Qiaoqiao finally found this excuse to get out of Master Xie.
Walking with the maid in the garden, she found that they were going in the direction of the old lady's yard.
"Where are Mrs. Luo and the old lady?" Ai Qiaoqiao said tentatively.
"Yes."
"I wonder what Mrs. Luo is looking for me?"
"This ...... The slave doesn't know. The maid smiled, "Anyway, you'll know when you go, so let's say hello to the girl first." ”
Hearing this, Ai Qiaoqiao chuckled in her heart for no reason.
If it is said that she is asked to deal with Shopkeeper Luo, she has never had any concerns, but with these women in the back house...... She's really tired of these cumbersome rules, and the way she speaks with words in her words.
When I entered the old lady's yard, I saw Mrs. Luo talking with the old lady, and the old lady smiled and kept nodding.
"Miss Qiaoqiao is here."
The maid picked up the curtain.
Ai Qiaoqiao entered the house and performed the blessing ceremony.
Mrs. Luo looked at her sharply, although she had a smile on her face, but there was some arrogance in that smile.
Ai Qiaoqiao pretended not to see, "I don't know what the lady is looking for me?" ”
"Today's birthday banquet is very good, vegetarian food is also very delicious, you did a good job." Mrs. Luo praised.
Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, she naturally tried her best to do her best after receiving Luofu's honorarium, she didn't think there was anything to boast about.
"What are your plans for the future?" Mrs. Luo asked.
"After the gratuity is settled tomorrow, I will go back to Xiaofang Village." Ai Qiaoqiao said.
Mrs. Luo was stunned for a moment, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, "You want to go back?" ”
"Yes, my mother is still in the village, I still have some small business in Niangniang Temple, I don't go back, I may even have to cut off my business recently......" Even if she steamed more steamed buns, she was away from home for half a month, and those things were already sold out.
Mrs. Luo cleared her throat and looked at the old lady, "Mother...... Come on, if you really leave by coincidence, it will be difficult for you to eat this vegetarian meal again in the future. ”
The old lady smiled, but she didn't pay attention to Mrs. Luo, but beckoned to Ai Qiaoqiao, "Come, come and sit next to me." ”
Ai Qiaoqiao didn't refuse, and came close to sit beside the old lady.
The old lady looked at her with satisfaction, "Qiaoqiao, how about you stay in Luofu in the future?" ”
Ai Qiaoqiao shook her head, "Old lady, my mother is still in the village, and I can't stay in Luofu." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I will send someone to place your mother." Mrs. Rowe interjected.
Ai Qiaoqiao's eyebrows raised, and the smile on her face receded.
"Mrs. Luo, old lady, what do you mean, I'm a country girl, I don't understand what you mean."
Mrs. Luo glanced at the old lady and said, "Actually, I should have told you a long time ago, my son thinks that your child is very good, since you came into the house, this up and down have praised you, I have the heart to help you match, my son will not dislike your identity, even if you don't have a dowry, we won't say anything, if you want, I will send someone to Xiaofang Village, and your family will propose, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and we will do your marriage at the end of this month......"
Ai Qiao stood up suddenly, she looked at the old lady, "That's what you mean?" ”
The old lady smiled, "If you are not satisfied with anything, you can bring it up, my grandson has never taken the initiative to open up to the family when he is so old, saying who he wants to marry." ”
Hearing this, Ai Qiaoqiao suddenly had a bottom in her heart.
I see.
She came to Mrs. Luo and the old lady, and bowed her knees, "Mrs. Luo, old lady, I think you may have misunderstood, I came to the house at the invitation of the shopkeeper Luo, and there are no superfluous thoughts, the shopkeeper Luo paid me a fee, one or two silver a day, I am very satisfied with this price." ”
"Luo Gongzi has never seen a cook as young as me, so I'm more curious, I think he was born in the Gaomen Mansion, how could he fall in love with someone like me, don't laugh at Madam, if you have time, it's better to help me settle the honorarium now, and I have to hurry back to the village tomorrow morning......"
Mrs. Luo couldn't help but feel a little disdainful when she heard her open and closed her mouth and never leave the word "honorarium".
No matter how good her cooking skills are, the countrymen are shallow-eyed, is she afraid that Luo Fu will not give her an honorarium or whatever.
"You don't have to worry about the honorarium, our Luo Mansion will not pay you half a son less, you just need to nod, and when I become a relative to my son at the end of the month, I will carry you into the house, then we will be a family, even if my son marries the wife of the main house in the future, you don't have to worry, we will not blame you."
Ai Qiaoqiao almost laughed out loud when she heard this.
Where did this Mrs. Luo get her confidence to think that she would agree to enter their Luo Mansion and become Luo Zisong's concubine.
Concubine?
Ai Qiaoqiao really never thought about such a thing.
No matter how difficult her life was with the Lan family, she would not have this kind of thought.
Marrying someone else's concubine, life and death must be decided by others, and this kind of life has never been what she wants.
"Mrs. Luo doesn't need to say any more." Ai Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, "I know my identity, even if I am the concubine of Master Luo, I am not qualified enough." ”
Mrs. Luo didn't expect her "kindness" to be rejected by the other party.
"Qiaoqiao girl, aren't you just a cook to make a living, when you marry into Luofu, you don't have to worry about not having money in the future, and your mother, I can also help you settle it."
Ai Qiaoqiao shook her head, "I want to make money to make a living, but I have hands and feet, and I can cook, I will support my mother by myself, thank you Mrs. Luo for your kindness, I really can't match with Mr. Luo, I am not a good concubine, and I don't understand the rules of the house, I will definitely cause trouble for Mrs. in the future, and please Mrs. Luo quickly settle my salary, I really have to hurry up......"
When it came to this, Mrs. Luo's face could no longer be tightened.
No one has ever denied her face like this.
And the identity of the other party is just an ordinary country girl who can't be ordinary anymore.
"Mother, look at ......" Mrs. Luo forced her dissatisfaction and looked at the old lady.
The old lady was still smiling, "Qiaoqiao, this girl is really good, I like it, she is also in my wife's temper, and reward her with two more first-class red envelopes, and help her settle her salary." ”
Ai Qiaoqiao was overjoyed and thanked the old lady.
Mrs. Luo didn't expect that the old lady didn't mention Luo Zisong's marriage again, so she let Ai Qiaoqiao's salary be settled, and gave her an extra five taels of silver.
After Ai Qiaoqiao got her salary, she went back to the room where she lived, immediately packed her clothes, and left Luofu overnight.
