There was a long silence in the room.

The candle burst into flowers, and the flickering candlelight swept through the vine lattices on the door of the display case, and the vines instantly came alive in the mercury mirror of the dresser opposite.

The curtains were pushed in and out by the wind, and the tall stilts that wrapped the sheep's hoof legs under the windowsill fluttered one after another, and the shells inlaid with the edging were dazzling.

I really didn't have to look at it, so Ren Yan had to look back.

Gu Tingwen was looking at her, smiling; Her hands were clasped together, and she was cold, and she felt that he was hot.

"Okay, I got it." He said there was nothing else.

Ren Yan involuntarily moved his fingers, which were in the palm of his hand, which could explain everything.

You can't always let the girls guess and weigh the hearts of the gentlemen.

Or he spoke first: "The past has me; The future is also left to me. ”

That's what it's going to do.

Before moving here, Granny Tofu was still worried about her marriage, and it didn't take long for this to be decided.

Come to think of it, she'll be happy too.

Anyway, she was already so happy that she replied inarticulately, "Okay." ”

Later, when she saw him smiling, she took her into her arms and rubbed her hair.

She had eaten so much wine tonight that she was so dizzy that she could fall asleep clutching his shirt. She should have said something, on such an important day, but she didn't even dream of it.

There was no panic, no shyness, and she was in a dream that she never remembered all night.

Before dawn, she was lying on the head of the bed with the quilt and blinking.

Gu Tingwen leaned on the upholstered sofa at the foot of the bed, hugged his shoulders, and fell asleep.

On the flannel surface of the sofa is a big red flower, and the wife of the Tong family specially found it for her, saying that the young girl is more delicate than the flower, so that it is beautiful and festive, and the house should be lively.

It's really lively now, and the heart is full of artillery battles.

She got down lightly in her clothes, went to the bathroom to wash, braided her hair, and the sofa was empty, and the person stood in front of the mirror and tied her tie.

The shirt is freshly changed, as is the tie, including the glasses.

This is a trip back to my own house, is it coming to her again?

The man in the mirror was smiling at her.

Ren Yan also smiled back, tacitly.

When she went out, four of her neighbors were exercising.

Two gentlemen wearing glasses were doing tai chi, the other was running with a handkerchief around his neck, and the rest of the men stood under the tree and teased Gu Tingwen: "We are going out today, and the shirt you just changed has been washed." ”

Simple laundry has become a big deal!

Gu Tingwen lowered his head slightly and was wiping his glasses, brushed the mirror cloth in his hand, and made a gesture to throw it over; When the gentleman saw it, he raised his hand, but he was empty.

He lowered his arm and was surprised, but he didn't realize that the mirror cloth had only then pounced on his face, and then slid down the lens to his leather shoes. He suffered a dark loss, and his colleagues laughed unkindly.

"If you are taken by surprise, you will not be prepared! I told you not to tease the seventh master, if this continues, I will have to take action against you. ”

What followed was laughter and scolding.

Ren Yan fished out his wide belly in the kitchen and put it in the warm water, scraping and washing while listening to the excitement outside.

The shavings were finally put into the soup cup, poured chicken soup on the boil, and sprinkled with a handful of leg shreds, which looked very good.

The four gentlemen took the jackpot and each got a cup.

The fragrant and soft wide belly simmers into the delicious taste of the clear soup, and as soon as it enters the stomach, the heart is extremely ironed.

Among them, the gentleman who had been coaxing before, shouted that Gu Tingwen would add this novel soup to the monthly magazine of the next month, but he was directly rejected, and sighed and lamented for a long time.

After Hongpheasant Hall went to work, Ren Yan returned this shavings wide belly soup to Du Liren and the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled happily, made an appointment to try the dishes, and if he was proud, he asked someone to hang out the menu card.

When he left, Du Liren's face was gone.

"I can't complain about coming to count it in the morning, saying that it is less wide-bellied, so you took it." He counted down in front of the new apprentices and the dumb goose apprentices, "I don't dare to do it myself, but I dare to pry the seventh master!" ”

It's a good thing, and when it reaches the master's mouth, you can sing a big drama.

Ren Yan drooped his head and slammed it.

At first, she also argued a few sentences, but after many times, she realized that she couldn't Du Liren hard top, which would push out the horns on his head, and wouldn't it be herself who would suffer at that time?

It's over with just one eye and one eye closed, one day as a teacher and a father for life, nothing serious, can she still be anxious with her white father?

Listen up.

Du Liren said again: "I saw that you have this ability, and you were still pretending to be in the Gu Mansion." Even if you are a family member for the Seventh Master, isn't it better than showing your face outside, what do you think! ”

Hey, just go down as you talk!

Senior Brother Goose is always stupid, except for pots and pans, kitchen knives and cutting boards, nothing else goes to his heart.

But the new junior brother is very lively, and he has to ask and see if he knows or not, and the two of them are staring at Ren Yan, which means that they probably can't see that she is such a character.

Ren Yan bared his teeth: "That's not thanks to you, Master. ”

One sentence made Du Liren choked.

The girl still had the second half of the sentence waiting for him: "You can't return the delicious food, you haven't begged the shopkeeper or the seventh master to send you a test of the food, and they didn't say that you are not, I don't want to have any skills, I didn't learn from you!" ”

She slipped into the air, so slippery that Du Liren wanted to raise a knife and nail her to the chopping board.

He treated this apprentice harshly, and said that in the Hongzhi Hall, even the regular customers of the hall had heard of it.

Most people look down on the excitement and look down on women, which is his capital to show his teeth and claws; But it's not that he doesn't know how to be restrained, he knows that Ren Yan and Gu Tingwen and Cheng Shi'an are about it, and he looks down on her even more while restraining him.

A woman who is half an age, either looking for someone to marry a husband and godson, or trying to save energy to be small is also not worried about food and clothing, why do you have to join in the fun?

Over the years, how many women have you seen who can do things?

Now that the Qing Dynasty is gone, the rules and responsibilities that should have been overthrown have been overthrown, and the more painful he is, the more he looks at the prickly head and let the smoke be unpleasant, he must teach her a lesson.

He didn't teach her every day, and he always thought about it, and his face was sharpened and he didn't come up with a reason.

The previous apprentice was blind, but isn't there a new one, the heart is alive and the eyes are alive, and sooner or later he will be able to pull out this thorn in the eye!

Du Liren glanced at the new apprentice, and the new apprentice also looked at him and nodded to each other.

After the battle, Ren Yan chopped vegetables and shuddered.

Before she got off work, she was punished.

The wages of the apprentices are from the wages of their respective masters, and the face of the Hongpheasant Hall is big, and the wages of the apprentices at the end of the year can be worth the monthly wages of other restaurants.

Last month's monthly money was only 30% in Ren Yan's hands.

Du Liren explained in public.

The first master of the red case went back to his hometown to mourn, and he did not return for more than a month, and the four apprentices at the bottom couldn't drink the northwest wind next month, so he allocated half of his monthly money to share, and there were no more left in the hands of his own apprentices.

Du Liren's gaze turned to Ren Yan here, and he said: "Everyone is from the same family, and they should help each other." ”

It's nothing to help each other, it's all for others, and Ren Yan is not unhappy.

The key is that the monthly money of the senior brother and the new brother is more than her, I don't know if it is better, she gives it in person, she is not blind, and the wages of others are held normally, and she can't even afford to pay the rent for the next month.

Du Liren became the eight-sided Buddha and won a lot of praise.

Ren Rouge cat was in the horns and suffered a dumb loss.

So after getting off work, Du Liren was once again blocked in the back kitchen by this thorny apprentice.

Ren Yan's purpose is very clear, her salary is small, and the salary of her senior brother and brother must also be less, or her salary will be made up to be as much as the salary of her senior brother and brother, and she must be treated equally.

Du Liren's fire made her arch again: "You're crazy!" ”

Ren Yan didn't say a word, and took out the monthly money wrapped in red paper from the pocket of Senior Brother Goose, counted six and slapped it on the table; turned over the two pitiful ones in his coat pocket and looked at Du Liren.

"Is the back kitchen a place for child's play and play?" Du Liren pointed to her nose and told her to recognize the reality, "You are just a porcelain, raised there just to be fashionable and good-looking, do you think you are something, worth two oceans?" ”

Ren Yan was not afraid to reason with him: "I have the same time as my brothers and sisters every day, do the same work, and never pull down what I should do, from beating fresh mushrooms and peach kernels to shavings and wide belly, don't you count how much I am worth?" ”

Fashionable, porcelain, who to say?

The master and apprentice fought when they saw the sky, and the master and the men were used to it.

Du Liren's famous master is embarrassed by his apprentice all day long, he doesn't want to lose face, and he has to drive the little girl out of the door, how much hatred!

Looking at the excitement, Du Liren became more and more impatient: "Go up, I don't want to see what kind of person I am, no matter how much trouble I make, no more trouble will be without you as an apprentice." ”

That's what the real Ge'er is for.

Ren Yan smiled: "You accepted my apprentice, yes, you haven't done it, why did you drive me out?" You don't want me to shrink up when something happens, I'm not like that! ”

Some of her recruits defend themselves, and some recruits defend fairness.

When I went home, I went to the four neighbors and asked them to write an article about the injustice between men and women.

Mr. Zhang, who wore glasses, was a dynamite barrel, ignited the fire, and said indignantly: "It has been two years since we wrote "On the Way Out of Women in the Future", and in the past two years, none of us have mentioned the spirit of Nala, nor have we mentioned what we should do after breaking the barriers of the family and going to society, Miss Ren's idea is really good." ”

He was trembling with excitement, and he wrote that he wanted to awaken, to be liberated, to be rich, to break through all obstacles and confinements.

There is also equal rights for men and women, first and foremost as human beings.

In official affairs, at the very least, men and women should be paid equally.

The next day, Ren Yan went to work with the newspaper that published Mr. Zhang's article.

On the chopping board in the back kitchen was a small stack of wrapped silver dollars.
