Xingsha is the capital of Dongting County, just on the edge of Tanzhou, and the three of them have been in Xingsha for two days in a carriage.

"Shi Niang, do you really want to apply for the chef of the Chen Mansion?"

"Yes." A big mansion like the Chen Mansion is not something that can be mixed in by ordinary means.

After two days of observation, there is a nursing home in Chen's mansion, and the walls are also high.

I walked around Chen's house, but I didn't see a tree next to the wall, and the wall was glutinous rice mud with broken tiles glued to it, if I climbed over the wall, I would definitely be injured.

Even if it is a subordinate in the house, there must be a sign given by the housekeeper to enter and exit.

In the previous life, Liu Ruyue also worked in such a big family, so she knew that the only way to enter such a strict house was to be above board.

She is not a businessman and cannot be called by name.

Then you can only sell yourself into slavery or apply.

In this life, she is absolutely no longer a slave, even if it is a fake identity, she cherishes it very much, and she is unwilling to waste a household registration and road guide for such a thing.

She gathered the hair bag wrapped in blue cloth, a few strands of hair fluttered disobediently, she reached out and wiped the oil from her hair, rubbed her hands together, and wiped it on her hair in front of the bronze mirror.

The hair that originally had broken hair fluttering was instantly subdued.

"You go to be a cook, what should I do?" Yingge is still dressed as a scholar, looking at Shi Niang, who has changed back to a woman's dress, she is very worried that she will enter the Longtan Tiger's Den like Chenfu.

"Shi Niang, I'll also enter Chen's Mansion, so I can give you a shot." So saying, she reached for the package and found the women's clothes.

"Yingge, I'll just go in, you take Chen Yao and wait for me outside."

Chen Yao was outside the screen, and when he heard this, he pinched his fingers and said, "Shi Niang, I want to go back with you." ”

Yingge went around and stretched out her finger to poke Chen Yao's head, "What are you going to make a mess, you are the little master of the Chen family, thinking that if you change your hairstyle, others will not recognize you and will not suspect you?" What if you are recognized, Shi Niang? ”

"Humph!" Yingge snapped and shook off the fan, "I should throw you directly at the gate of Chen's mansion, otherwise where are there so many things, I have to let Shi Niang explore the risk for you, if it weren't for Shi Niang's kindness, if I were to throw you away." ”

Chen Yao snorted, Yingge couldn't look at it, he had a lot of eyes.

Liu Ruyue cleaned herself up cleanly, properly, the big family is still very particular, and she is a chef, at least she can't pull her crotch in appearance.

Walked out from behind the screen, picked up the dog baby who was crawling around on the bed, and took the strap cloth, Yingge leaned over and took the child and put it on her back, "Shi Niang, you are going to apply for a chef, I'm afraid it's not convenient to take the dog baby, anyway, taking care of a child is to take care of, and taking care of two is also to watch together, so it's better to hand over the dog baby to me." ”

The worry in Liu Ruyue's eyes flashed, although after her temptation, it seemed that those officials did not die because of the dog baby, but she was still not at ease in her heart.

The man tried his best to hand over the child to her, it was definitely not a joke, if she handed over the child to Yingge, Yingge would be hairy and temperamental, in case she didn't take good care of the child, she would get into trouble.

Holding the dog's buttocks with his backhand, he lifted it on his back, and then continued to wrap the cloth strips, "It's okay, Chen Mansion gave out red eggs a few days ago, saying that Aunt Fu gave birth to a child, and now Chen Mansion is recruiting a cook, I think it is probably for Aunt Fang, I take the child, they may be more at ease." ”

The two worked together to carry the child on their backs.

Liu Ruyue put the package that had been prepared a long time ago on her wrist, and said to Chen Yao, who was looking at her worriedly, "There's nothing to worry about, even if I am not left behind, I will find a way to find out some news from the mansion." ”

"If I don't come out after entering the house, probably I'll be left behind and hired, you two don't have to worry about me, I haven't done anything, I'm just an ordinary cook, what can they do to me?"

He reminded Yingge again, "After me, I will find a way to come out, the cook is no better than other slaves, she has freedom in life, didn't you say it, there are two days off in January, I will find a way to come out, you are waiting for me in this house, don't go out and make trouble." ”

After explaining, Liu Ruyue turned around and left happily.

Yingge and Chen Yao chased her out, but they could only watch her leave and help her pull the courtyard door.

"Shi Niang is too kind-hearted." Yingge stomped her feet, and turned around to enter her room in anger.

Is the heart kind?

Liu Ruyue shook her head, maybe there are some, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue may be able to exchange some good luck for the children.

On the other hand, she still thought that it would be difficult for her to find her child, if she could help Chen Yao find a home, if his father had a good character, he would know that he would repay him, she would ...... What about a coercion?

If you can find a help for finding a child, it is a help.

She had traveled so many places in her previous life, all in vain.

Now she doesn't even know where the children are.

Even if she knew that Xue Rong was later in the Yingtianfu Flower Pavilion in her last life, Xue Rong was not bought by the Flower Pavilion since she was a child and cultivated from a young age, but bought it from a private courtyard that specialized in cultivating thin horses in Yangzhou, just like Qingliufang bought Yingge.

Therefore, even if she entered Beijing immediately, it would be impossible for her to see Xue Rong in the Flower Pavilion.

If Xue Rong is bought by the Flower Pavilion, the Yangzhou thin horse bought by the Flower Pavilion at a high price, Xue Rong is so talented, and it is absolutely impossible for the Flower Pavilion to sell her cheaply.

The more I thought about it, the more troubled my heart became.

Looking up again, Liu Ruyue had already walked to the back alley of Chen's Mansion, and there were many men and women standing in the clean alley in the past, all dressed in cloth.

At the back door, a man who looked like a steward saw a big spoon pinned to Liu Ruyue's waist, and shouted, "Those who sell themselves as slaves stand here, and those who come to apply for the job of being a cook come here." ”

At this time, the long line was divided into two columns.

There are still men, women and children on the left, and women on the right.

These women who applied for the kitchen lady all had a characteristic, that is, they were plumper or obese than the average person, and they looked more energetic and in shape than those on the left who were sold into slavery.

There are nine of them.

As soon as Liu Ruyue moved lightly to the back of the line, the slightly chubby woman in front of her looked her up and down, "Take your child to apply for a cook, I'm afraid you don't want to fish in troubled waters and steal the owner's food to raise your baby." ”

Hearing her shout, the other women in line also turned their heads.

Seeing the emaciated Liu Ruyue, she showed a look of distrust.

"This little lady, either a big spoon on her waist is a cook, if you are a cook, you can still starve yourself like this thin monkey."

"You want to make a living, go over there, sell yourself as a slave, Chen Fudong's family is very good, and you don't want to find your children."
