After communicating with his parents many times, Makuchen finally persuaded the two to allow Red Medicine to stay in the shogunate; He originally planned to let Hongyao be his personal maid, but before he could say anything, he was intercepted by his mother Hanori.

Hanasato replied that Hongyao could only stay in the mansion as a handyman, and if she didn't agree, she would be asked to leave the shogunate and find another job; And Mu Xiangqian is very disdainful of escaping marriage, especially women's escaping, so he has no good impression of Hongyao, he was very opposed to his son's approach, but in the end he was persuaded by the chaos of Mu Chen.

Seeing that her parents were relieved, Mu Chen was also relieved in his heart, at least he kept her behind, so that she would not be reduced to the streets, bullied, and live a life of eating and sleeping in the open; However, as soon as he thought that Hongyao might have to be a handyman for a lifetime, he felt sorry for her, and Muchen still wanted to continue to bargain with his parents, but Hanori and Mu Xiangqian, who had already made a regression and were willing to take in Hongyao, were very dissatisfied with their son's bargaining.

The two old men thought that the red medicine had poured ecstasy soup into their son, so they spoke for her like this, so the two old people didn't like the red medicine in their hearts.

Seeing that his parents had made up his mind, Mu Chen decided not to mention the matter again, and he secretly decided that after a few days, he would take the red medicine as his personal maid and do some light work.

In Daqing country, the maid is divided into three, six, nine and so on, the best maid is the personal maid next to the master, responsible for serving tea and pouring water to the master, changing clothes, they are called the maid manager. The second is the second-class maid, who is responsible for cleaning the house, pruning flowers and plants, and other easy work, while the bottom-class maid is responsible for all the chores, dirty work, and tiring work in the house.

The wages are also the least paid.

In addition, there are two kinds of maids with special status, one is a maid in the room, and the other is a maid in marriage. The maid in the house is generally designated by a person with status in the house, and the maid who accompanies the master to marry is the maid who marries with the master.

These two kinds of maids may improve their status in the future by gaining the love of the master they serve, while it is almost impossible for the most inferior handyman maid to turn over by this, because there is almost no chance of meeting between the two, let alone showing themselves in front of the master.

On the first day of Hongyao's work as a handyman, he was assigned by a grandmother in the house to feed the pigs.

"Feed the pigs?" Hongyao flashed a pair of big eyes, and said in his heart: Isn't the shogunate a merchant family? When are the pigs fed? The smell of the pig is so heavy that it can be smelled from a long distance, and the tricky second aunt of the shogunate will agree to raise pigs in the house? The more Red Medicine thought about it, the more strange it felt.

There was another reason why she wondered: why didn't she smell a trace of pigs in the house?

"Why are you stunned, why don't you go quickly!" Mama looked at the red medicine in a daze, and her heart became angry, and she shouted loudly.

Why are they all so angry? Who is she provoking to provoke whom, and she wants to be yelled at by others? Red Medicine was a little dejected.

After she collected her emotions, she rubbed her hands on her clothes and said, "I don't know where the pigsty is?" ”

Mama was disgusted again, while leading the red medicine to the pigsty, while nagging dissatisfied, the red medicine followed behind, for her words, try to be able to enter the left ear, the right ear out, the left ear in, the right ear out, if you can't do it, try to calm down the dissatisfaction with Mama in your heart, try not to worry about her generally.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Mama led her to the pigsty, raised her chin and said, "Later, take the pig food bowl to the kitchen, put some leftovers from the wooden bucket into the basin, and bring it over to feed." ”

At the end, Mama emphasized again: "This is a very simple job. ”

The implication is to tell Hongyao that if he can't even do such a simple job, it's better to get out of the house early.

"Oh, by the way, after feeding the pigs, remember to go to the mountains to cut some plantain, dandelion dices back, the back basket is in the grocery room, cut a few dozen catties in the back, this group of pigs are hungry, if the amount of cutting is not enough, they are fighting, hurt the body, I will ask you!"

Red Medicine said in his heart, I really want to see how pigs fight.

"Well, I don't know the plantain, and what does the dandelion look like?" Red Medicine asked in a whisper.

"See what's in the corner? That's it, just follow it. ”

Red Medicine looked at the sight, a mess of dirty green plants piled up together, I couldn't see the appearance at all, and there were some pig excrement on it, which was very disgusting to look at.

"And this pigsty, remember to clean it often, otherwise not only the smell of the pig will be very serious, the pigsty is not clean, the pig will also get sick, if these go wrong, it will sell you, and it will not be enough to compensate!"

Meaning, I don't have a pig worth a lot yet? What a miserable life! Hongyao looked at a group of fat-headed and big-eared pink pigs who were snorting, and there was nothing to love.

"Well, excuse me, will I do all this work myself in the future?"

"No, someone will replace you."

Hongyao held her breath, and as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, an unpleasant smell entered her mouth, and her whole mouth began to numb because of this, and a wave of nausea welled up in her heart, making her almost vomit.

After explaining everything, Mama twisted her fat ass and left.

A pigsty with one wall and three fences has about ten pink pigs in it, and each pig grows fat.

Hongyao pinched his nose with one hand, and was stunned for a long time, not daring to step forward; Some pigs directly ignore the existence of red medicine, continue to lower their heads, arch their noses, and look for something to eat on the ground, some pigs lie lazily in the pen, their slender short tails leisurely slap their pink buttocks, and some pigs stretch their necks, tilt their heads, and make aggressive pig calls, which are very fierce and frightening.

She walked cautiously around the fence as she watched the pigs wary.

At the same time, several pigs here are also watching the red medicine vigilantly, the two sides are tense and unstoppable, and if they are not careful, they will fall into a protracted war.

Wherever she goes, the pig follows.

Hongyao's big eyes were anxious and scared as she patrolled the pig food bowl in the pigsty, and when she saw a pig eating in the pig food bowl with her head down, her whole person was not in a good state.

Hongyao couldn't help but say in his heart: As long as you're eating, can't you learn from other pigs? Look at what it looks like to be fat, don't you have any points in your heart?

Her eyes continued to wander around in the pigsty, and the picture of a pig lying on her side, lying quietly in her arms, a pig food basin came into her eyes, and Hongyao was stunned for a moment.

She looked at the other party's comfortable posture, and said with envy and sigh: "This little day is really nourishing, I only need to eat and sleep every day, and eat when I wake up, I really envy you!" ”

After saying that, she left the pigsty for a moment, and when she came back, there was an extra wooden stick in her hand, she stood on tiptoe, leaned forward, and used the wooden stick to pull the pig's food bowl, however, accidentally, the wooden stick poked the resting pig.

The pig first fluttered its two ears in a daze, swept its buttocks with its short tail, and then slowly stood up and walked towards the red medicine, and the eyes of a man and a pig met at this time.

Hongyao seemed to see the anger of being disturbed from the pig's eyes, and she quickly apologized: "I didn't mean to, I just wanted to take the pig pot, I didn't mean to disturb your rest, don't come over, don't come over!" ”

The pig ignored the red medicine and continued to walk towards her with four little hooves.

Hongyao swallowed her saliva and stared straight at each other, she was only afraid, but she forgot that there was a fence between herself and the pig, and the pink pig made a humming sound from her nose, and her feet did not stop, and Hongyao was so frightened that she took a few steps back.

So, a tense man-pig war is about to begin.

The other pigs in the pigsty also began to riot, and everyone ran to the fence in unison, all of them leaning their necks, and making a humming pig cry, the sound was like a monk's chanting, which made people dizzy and irritable.

Red Medicine looked at the faces of pigs standing in a row around the fence. The long and ugly noses were exposed to the air without concealment, which made Hongyao's whole person not in good condition.

She was dizzy and couldn't help but say, "Ha-"

She stood there helplessly, watching a herd of pigs yelling at her in discontent.

At this time, a man in his forties, dressed as a subordinate, hurried to the pigsty and asked, "What happened?" ”

Hongyao was a little aggrieved and said: "I just wanted to take the pig pot and feed them, but when I pulled the pig pot, I accidentally startled a pig, and then the other pigs also made a commotion." ”

"Who told you to come and feed the pigs?"

The man's voice was stern, and the red medicine was so frightened that she thought she had caused a big disaster, and she snorted: "It was a grandmother who asked me to come." ”

"Don't do the work of feeding the pigs again; The pigsty is a mile away from the kitchen, and you have to choke on the leftovers from the kitchen, which is what you can do from a girl's family. Go, go, go! Where to go back and forth! The man began to rush to the humane.

When Hongyao heard this, she was overjoyed: doesn't this mean that she doesn't have to deal with this group of pigs!

After receiving the order, Hongyao thanked the man and was overjoyed.

"Does Mama have any other work for you?" The man asked.

"Mama said, after feeding the pigs, let me go up the mountain to dig plantain and dandelion dice for the pigs to eat." Red Medicine replied.

The man didn't reply, he waved his hand with his back to the red medicine, opened the fence door, and entered the pigsty in a grand manner, a group of pigs just looked around him, and there was no hint of attack, but it was very docile, and after a while, the man came out with a pig food bowl in one hand.

Hongyao looked at him in surprise, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart.

She took the samples of plantain and dandelion dice that the man had given her, and left the battlefield in high spirits.

Hongyao took a basket from the grocery room and carried it on her back, and as soon as she walked into the courtyard, she saw a handsome and charming man in white, holding a beautiful folding fan.

She couldn't help but be attracted by the man's fair, slender, bony fingers, and the man in white was also staring at Hongyao at this time, and when Hongyao retracted his gaze, he happened to meet the cold and arrogant eyes of the man in white; After a brief meeting of eyes, Hongyao bowed slightly to the other party out of politeness, and left.

The man in white stood in place, looking at the direction where Hongyao had left for a few seconds, and then continued to walk towards the mansion.
