Chapter 7 Doing Evil in the Dark
After she came out, she had to think about how to settle herself tonight, thinking about the few silver she had on her, and she had to go to the guest house, and her heart ached, but there was no way, she couldn't sleep on the streets, right? A young and beautiful woman sleeps on the street, isn't that waiting for an accident?
Fortunately, during this time, she also made some money by selling songs, and a bag of broken silver given by the shopkeeper before leaving, which should be enough for her to spend a while, she walked on the street for a while, and found an ordinary inn to live in before dark, an ordinary room, and it cost fifty copper plates for one night.
Meng Xiaoran has an advantage, she is not sentimental, no matter what kind of difficulties she encounters, she always thinks that the boat will go straight to the bridge, and she does not worry too much, even if she doesn't know where to go tomorrow, she doesn't plan to worry about it.
It's not because she's not smart, if she really fights scheming, I'm afraid that few girls of the same age can beat her, but she never wants to do this, unless she is forced to be helpless.
Lying on the bed, she suddenly remembered what happened in the orphanage when she was a child, at that time, in order to be adopted, those children who should have been innocent and innocent used their scheming one by one, but never thought of being adopted, she would rather rely on herself, so she watched those children fight for it one by one, never fight or not, because she knew that what she wanted was independence and dignity.
Thinking about the past, Meng Xiaoran fell asleep unconsciously, tired for a day, and had another good meal, naturally he had a sweet dream.
Early in the morning of the second day, Meng Xiaoran got up, the imperial merchant Shen Mansion that the woman told her yesterday gave her some inspiration, so today she plans to go to Shen Mansion to apply for a job, the family is big, and there will always be a need for people, right?
According to yesterday's road, through an alley, came to the door of the Shen Mansion, yesterday's very lively Shen Mansion, at this time has returned to the former appearance, only some pedestrians come over from time to time on the street, and there is a small house standing in front of the gate of Huihong.
Seeing her walking over, the little girl immediately asked, "What are you doing?" It turned out that his voice was cold and impatient, and the moment he saw Meng Xiaoran, he immediately softened, "Girl, what's the matter?" ”
"Little brother, I came here to ask, is the Shen Mansion recruiting? I want to go to the Shen Mansion to do things. ”
The little guy wanted to shake his head, but in the end he hesitated, such a beautiful girl, if she really came to the mansion to do things, wouldn't he be able to see it often? If you are lucky, you may be able to have some fate with her.
"I can ask the steward about the recruitment for you, I don't know where the girl's family lives, if there is any news, I will inform you?"
Meng Xiaoran saw all the expressions he had just now, and guessed his thoughts, but at this time, he couldn't refuse this person's kindness with no backbone, so he had to nod, "Thank you, little brother, I went to Yujing City to look for relatives, but my relatives have moved away, and now I live in the Yuelai Inn in the city, if there is news, you can go there to find me." ”
Now there is no road permit, she has given up the idea of going to other places to find work, can only go back to the inn to wait for news, now she has no silver, want to make a living with her own skills and have no capital, hey, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!
At this time, Meng Xiaoran couldn't help but secretly hate, why did other people cross over to be young ladies and princesses, no matter how bad they were, they had to be peasant girls, why was their turn so miserable?
"Oh? Looking for a doorkeeper? The man in white sat in the study and listened to Qing Feng's report, revealing a playful smile.
"Qingfeng, go deal with it." Qingfeng nodded, he naturally understood what his son-in-law was going to do, so he took the order without asking too much.
thought there was a play, but Meng Xiaoran waited in the inn for three days and didn't wait for the little guy to come to her, seeing that her silver was getting less and less, she couldn't wait, so she looked for it herself.
found the door of the Shen Mansion, the little guy guarding the door had changed, and when she walked over and just wanted to speak, she was driven away, "Hurry up, hurry up, not everyone can come here!" "A few days ago, Shen Dabao, who was guarding the door, was beaten ten boards because he talked to a strange woman when he was guarding the door, and was transferred to a dirty and tired stable.
Meng Xiaoran was driven away, she was very angry, she knew that there was basically no way to enter the Shen Mansion, what should she do next? When she returned to the inn, she immediately packed up her things and left the room, she didn't have much silver, and she couldn't "squander" anymore.
After repeated blows, she was a little disheartened, it seemed that she was really too optimistic, thinking that she would be able to support herself no matter what, but now it seems that the situation is not optimistic.
She walked listlessly down the street, and from time to time an unkempt beggar came by, begging passers-by, and when they passed Meng Xiaoran, they stretched out their hands and kept saying, "Okay, girl......"
Seeing that she didn't give money, the beggar went to the others again, and there were always a few people who would be kind, and took out a few copper plates and threw them at them.
Between the lightning and flint, Meng Xiaoran suddenly thought of a way to make a living, to be a beggar!
At that moment, she felt that the whole street was still, she was the only one, and she even thought of going to be a beggar? She has lived for twenty-two years, although she has been living in dire straits, but she has worked hard all these years, and finally graduated from college and found a job, although it is only half a year, but she is quite appreciated by her boss, and she can also be called an elite, and now it is so difficult to survive here?
But what else could she do besides that?
Meng Xiaoran stood there, constantly doing mental construction, hadn't I seen a news article before, a network engineer quit his job to become a beggar, and earned more than when he was working, well, this is also a profession!
She finally convinced herself, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this solution was feasible, found a secluded alley, smeared a lot of black ash on her face, and made a mess of her hair, and took out a set of overalls from the baggage when she was in the inn.
She knew that she must have looked like a beggar at this time, and the man in white and Qingfeng on the roof watched her movements, and couldn't help but be speechless, this woman was really powerful, she could be so cruel to herself!
In this way, Meng Xiaoran quickly became a "beggar", it was really difficult at the beginning, how can she say that she is also a high-achieving student, how can she be embarrassed to pull down her face to do such a thing? But once you muster up the courage to try it once, you don't feel ashamed anymore, anyway, your face is smeared, where is there any face?
After wandering on the street for a long time, she really received one or two copper coins, she was a little tired, found a corner and sat down, secretly thinking about the trick of being a beggar, who can ask for money?
In the end, she summed it up, and put the target on some young men and women, as well as some people who are kind and kind and easy to talk to at a glance, and when she sees such a person appear, she will immediately go up, pretending to be pitiful and begging, the effect is really good, and in one afternoon, there are some gains!
