Chapter 16 Non-slavery

"I, Song Yao, would rather starve to death than become a slave, and I will not be willing to degenerate and be a concubine, please forgive me." Song Yao refused without thinking about it.

Looking at the beautiful man's dress, he must be the master who is not short of silver, but Song Yao has no intention of stammering.

Climbing to the powerful may be a shortcut to get rid of poverty and become rich, but Song Yao can't flatter every day, she would rather create tomorrow with her own hands, even if she can never achieve the ideal goal, at least she has no regrets in this life.

"Did you say that you want to become a slave? Does Ye seem to be the kind of man who lacks women? The beautiful man frowned, although it was only for a moment, it was enough to make the women of the world do anything for him willingly, as long as he was happy.

"Childe misunderstood, this world is unfair to women, not to mention that the little woman is a mother, so she must be cautious. If there is a conflict in the words, I hope the son will forgive me. Song Yao bowed and spoke earnestly.

Facing the benefactor and creditor, Song Yao quickly figured out her status clearly, and wanted to set an example for her son.

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to bother with you." The beautiful man raised his head arrogantly, stared at Song Yao and said, "Ye just likes your cooking skills and wants you to cook for Ye for a few days." When you get tired of staying here, or eat enough of the food you cooked, the debt of one thousand taels will be cleared, and your mother and son will still be free. ”

For some reason, since he first met Song Yao, this woman has left a deep impression on him, so much so that he, who is not nosy, has lent a helping hand more than once.

But there is also a bottom line to help, and beautiful men will not abandon all principles.

Song Yao hesitated slightly, even if she knew that the greenhouse would have a lot of income in winter, but she was still not sure how much income there was, if she could cook for a while, she could offset the debt of one thousand taels, which was extremely cost-effective.

But Zhuangzi still needs silver to support her, and she must have an income as soon as possible.

"If you say a deadline that is beyond my acceptance, then don't talk about it." Song Yao quickly made a decision and asked seriously, "It's not a secret, our mother and son have limited silver, although it is natural to repay debts, but we need to survive, so I hope that my son can give me time to find a way out, and the little woman doesn't want her son to live a life of eating and sleeping in the open again." ”

The beautiful man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Song Yao to ask like this, and thought seriously for a moment.

"Three days." The beautiful man casually said the number of days, and when he saw Song Yao nodding and added: "I have three meals a day and supper, and each meal cannot be the same, no less than ten dishes and one soup......

"You're so extravagant, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" The corners of Song Yao's mouth twitched, and she found that her attitude towards the gold owner was wrong, so she hurriedly explained: "It is best not to have more than four dishes per meal for a person, otherwise it is inevitable that there will be a situation where the food is restrained, and when the time comes, it will not only leave hidden dangers that are not good for health, but also may be life-threatening in serious cases, so Song Yao can't deal with it." Four dishes and one soup, beyond this range, I don't make any amount of silver. ”

As for how to cook a meal for three days, which can be worth a thousand taels of silver, Song Yao has no time to think about it for the time being.

The other party is not short of silver, and of course she is happy to pay off the debt easily.

"You are a crooked, don't those big families have the same table of dishes? I haven't seen anyone have a problem eating. The beautiful man raised his eyebrows.

"Therefore, most of the masters of those big families are short-lived, or they are riddled with diseases in their later years, but there are more long-lived people in well-off families." Song Yao spread her hands and said: "This is my condition, if you don't agree, don't hinder our mother and son from finding a house." When I settle down, I'll have to fight for my livelihood. ”

"As long as you can guarantee that the food you make is something that you have never eaten before, and you like it, it's okay." The beautiful man frowned and chose to take a step back.

"I don't know what Childe has eaten, and besides, the food I cooked, as long as Childe says that he has eaten it, then even if I don't keep my promise, isn't this a trick on me?" The little enthusiasm in Song Yao's heart was extinguished, and she looked at the beautiful man and said, "What's more, I don't know the taste of the childe, if the son doesn't explain it in advance, how can I know if I have committed a taboo?" ”

The beautiful man choked and snorted disdainfully: "Ye also knows how to write the word integrity, if you respond, Ye will naturally explain it to you." ”

"All the expenses in the past few days will be paid by the son, and the transaction will be completed." Song Yao immediately put forward the final conditions.

"Okay." The beautiful man nodded, said the address, and then brushed his sleeves away.

Song Yao took her son's little hand, looking at the back of the beautiful man and was a little distracted, for some reason she felt that this back was familiar, to be precise, in the memory of the original owner's disappearance, there was such a back faintly.

The mother and son stood on the empty street for a long time, and Song Yao remembered to take Song Yuanbao to find a house, but their mother and son should stabilize first, and then talk about the future.

In the backyard of the county government, after Hu Jiayue greeted Mrs. Hu, the mother and son sat together and gossiped.

There are many rules in the official family, even if the mother and son talk, they can't be casual, too much etiquette and less intimacy between mother and daughter.

"Jiayue, you came to your mother's place, but you have something to say?" Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, after chatting for a while, Mrs. Hu asked.

Hu Jiayue's smile was a little unnatural, and she hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, I want to invite Sister-in-law Song to come to the mansion to do things, not to refer to the time when I am cooking for the Nine Emperor Uncles. My mother also knew that I only had an appetite for the dishes made by Sister-in-law Song, but Sister-in-law Song didn't like to be bound by rules. Therefore, I would like to discuss with my mother, can I just let Sister-in-law Song go to the small kitchen to cook for my daughter, and the salary will be paid daily, and the employment paperwork will be exempted? ”

"Jiayue, you are the daughter of an official family, and you will marry into an official family to be a young lady in the future, you must not forget the rules that your mother taught you because of a market woman." Mrs. Hu's face was slightly gloomy, "There are rules, you can't make an exception because of someone, unless that person is worthy." ”

"My daughter knows." Hu Jiayue didn't intercede for Song Yao anymore, got up and saluted: "It's my daughter who is reckless, she only thinks about her own pleasure, but she doesn't think about her mother's embarrassment." After returning to the room, my daughter will reflect more. ”

Seeing that Hu Jiayue's face was calm, Mrs. Hu couldn't understand her inner thoughts for a while, so she nodded and said, "Go back and rest, your body and bones haven't recovered yet, don't ask for peace if you have nothing to do, and Nu Hong will also press those things and practice again." ”

"Yes, daughter, remember." Hu Jiayue owes herself.

Accompanied by Xiaolian back to the room, Hu Jiayue frowned tightly and looked sad.

"Miss, don't bother anymore, it's impossible for Madam to agree to Miss, unless that sister-in-law Song is willing to sell herself as a slave or become a long-term worker in the Hu Mansion, it is impossible to come to the mansion on an errand." Xiaolian persuaded her: "Miss has done her best, so if Sister-in-law Song knows, she will definitely be grateful to Miss." ”

"Xiaolian, you take ten taels of silver to find Sister-in-law Song, just say that I don't have much appetite these days, let her settle down, cook me a few small dishes every day, and you will go to get it when it's time to eat." Hu Jiayue thought about it for a while, and felt that this was the only way to help Song Yao's mother and son.

"Miss only has ten taels of silver a month, and they are all given to Sister-in-law Song, if Miss needs to use silver here, what should I do?" Xiaolian asked disapprovingly.

"Over the years, my moon silver has hardly been touched, at most I have only helped Sister-in-law Song for a while, and I believe she will find a livelihood soon." Hu Jiayue said disapprenously: "Xiaolian, although ten taels of silver is a lot, but if there is no Sister-in-law Song's recipe, I still can't eat, Sister-in-law Song is kind to me, how can I not repay one or two?" ”

Xiaolian sighed, knowing that once her master made up her mind, her persuasion would be useless, so she could only receive the order.
