Chapter Eighty-Seven: Cecilia's Working Life

Cecilia, God is merciful, the eldest lady of the former glorious mayor's family is now unkempt and wandering on the streets, gnawing on cold and hard steamed buns, chewing broken vegetable leaves without oil and water, living a deplorable life without clothes and food, and even these leftovers were helped by the kind people of Azuchi City when they saw her pitiful. Cecilia escaped from the clutches of the gangsters with her ingenuity and bravery, but before she fled, she forgot to take her looted money and jewels with her.

Disheartened, Cecilia decided to return to her hometown, to her parents and brother, but even this only hope was now in a difficult and embarrassing situation, Cecilia had no money to go home, no one was willing to lend her money, no caravan was willing to carry her, this cold metropolis had no warmth and sincerity, only the villains who spied on her beauty hovered around her, making her tremble and nightmares.

"It can't go on like this. Faced with the brothel's gracious invitation, Cecilia got up and gritted her teeth and flatly refused. But Cecilia would never admit that she had a trace of confusion, a trace of heartbeat, and a trace of hesitation.

Cecilia rolled up her sleeves and decided to go to work, although this was a backward, barbaric, cannibalistic era, but the germ of capitalism had quietly grown, and those unscrupulous businessmen began to hire children and women from poor families in order to save labor costs.

Cecilia found a hostess in an inn, and when the stingy and mean boss threw out the conditions, Cecilia almost jumped up from the ground, almost unable to maintain her ladylike reserved scolding, this charity-looking boss instantly became an unscrupulous businessman's hateful face in her eyes, and even the warm smile shown by the other party became so hideous at this time.

In fact, the innkeeper is quite conscientious, the salary is reasonable, not high or low, barely passable, and living in a private place, but Cecilia is the daughter of the mayor of the town, so she naturally can't look down on this salary, because these salaries are lower than the salary of her maid in her eyes, which really hurts Cecilia's proud and sensitive self-esteem.

But at this time, Cecilia can be said to have fallen into a desperate situation, there is no way back, if she does not agree to the other party's conditions, she will not have dinner tonight, and she is fed up with the frightened life, she can't sleep a solid sleep every day, with the lesson of the last time, she is terrified, afraid that when she wakes up the next day, she will lie on the bed in the brothel to invite customers.

"Good!" Cecilia said with all her might. Cecilia comforted herself, "I am going to be a woman of noble lady, and all this is just a test arranged for me by fate."

"That's great, we're short of a dishwasher in the store, you go work in the kitchen, and if you don't understand anything, just ask Susan, and she'll tell you." By the way, don't break the plate, you must remember, don't break the plate, otherwise all the losses will be deducted from your salary. The boss said worriedly, looking at Cecilia's white slender jade fingers, obviously not engaged in heavy physical work, if it weren't for the pitiful look at it, the boss would definitely not take this idiot.

At this time, the customs of the people of Azuchi Castle were still quite simple, and the sprouts of evil capitalism had not yet reached all corners of Azuchi Castle.

"Hmm. ”

In this way, Cecilia's happy working life began, and so on, the word "pleasure" is to be discussed, the so-called heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they cannot. Heaven and earth are not kind to all things as dogs, how could he let Cecilia this interesting little toy go? Not to mention, Cecilia, as one of the heroines of the story, must have an inevitable law.

For example:

Bang!

"Cecilia, you idiot, this is the third plate you've broken today, and as punishment you won't have dinner tonight. Aunt Susan, who has a waist as thick as an uncle's and is as big as a cow that produces milk, reprimanded Cecilia loudly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't do that, I didn't have dinner yesterday. Cecilia pleaded with tears in her eyes.

But Aunt Susan has been in the kitchen for decades, and she has never seen any kind of character, and Cecilia's pitiful appearance could not move her cold heart at all, and she said indifferently and arrogantly: "No! tonight! You! no! Dinner!"

It's really vicious, femme fatale, Cecilia really cried this time, she cried, but Susan didn't care at all, but rushed her and said, "Clean up quickly, otherwise there will be no food tomorrow." ”

Cecilia wiped away her tears with her dirty sleeves, and silently swore in her heart: When I become a noble lady, you must look good.

Cecilia buried her hatred, resentment, and resentment deep in her heart, picked up a broom and began to clean up the broken plates on the floor.

But the little hatred of Susan was dissolved before it was time to go to bed, and Cecilia stayed in the backyard hungry, wiping tears from her eyes, and drooling quietly at the smell of food wafting from the room, and the resentment in her heart grew.

But then Susan came out of the room, brought a small plate of food, and some broken bread in front of Cecilia, "Eat." I've got work to do tomorrow. ”

Cecilia's round, sapphire-like eyes widened, and she looked at Aunt Susan with a bewildered look.

Aunt Susan was not as vicious as in the morning, and said gently: "What I said in the morning is all angry words, but it is always a bad thing for you to always break the plate, and if I don't dissuade you, the boss will fire you." That's what I said for your own good!"

Cecilia heard that the resentment in her heart instantly turned into gratitude, and because of Susan's heartfelt words, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said gratefully: "I will definitely repay you well after becoming a noble lady." ”

Susan smiled wryly and said, "Okay, let's eat it, it's all about jokes." ”

Looking at Cecilia who was gobbling up, Aunt Susan sneered in her heart, Hmph, fight with me! This bit of leftovers will send you away, who do you think I Aunt Susan is? I can still sit in the kitchen for so many years without the ability?

As for the aristocratic lady, Aunt Susan is even more disdainful, and only regards it as the innocent fantasy of an ignorant girl. But thinking of getting married, Aunt Susan's eyes were hot on the innkeeper's room, the owner has lost his wife for many years, and his only daughter has also married, and Aunt Susan has not been able to find a good match for so many years, so she regards the boss as her prince charming, hoping to marry him one day.

"Susan, my sweet little angel, marry me. Thinking about it, Aunt Susan got drunk.
