Zhao Sichen's voice was gentle, and the mandarin duck gradually calmed down, she kowtowed again, and said with a crying voice: "Miss, my family has been poor since I was a child, and when I was about five years old, my parents sold me into the Xu family.

In the early years, I still hoped that my master would be kind and my parents would redeem me......

Two years ago, his parents died one after another, and only his brother and sister-in-law were left in the family.

My brother is a bad gambler, sister-in-law......

Sister-in-law came out of the kiln......"

The mandarin duck's voice was low, and then he said loudly: "Miss, if my brother and sister-in-law take me back, they will definitely sell me, Miss, you have pity on me......"

Zhao Sichen said softly: "Since your situation is so difficult, why don't you know how to love yourself?" I don't cherish the opportunity I get, but I regret it when I lose it. ”

The tears on the mandarin duck's face kept falling.

Zhao Sichen turned his head and said to Sister-in-law Jin: "When you led the mandarin duck out, you told the mandarin duck's brother and sister-in-law, don't redeem the money, but they can't resell the mandarin duck."

In the future, I will help Mandarin Duck find a good family to marry, and I will give a dowry. ”

has a dowry of mandarin ducks to hang her brother and sister-in-law's appetite, and it must be able to keep her safe for several years.

She can't care about the future.

Zhao Sichen remembered that when he interviewed the maid of the Xu family before, the mandarin duck took the lead and introduced the situation of promoting himself cleanly-

At that time, she still had a good impression of mandarin ducks, and thought that they were also a good seedling that could be cultivated.

Unexpectedly, Mandarin Duck is such a disrespectful and self-loving person.

It's just fate, let's get together and disperse.

Seeing that Sister-in-law Jin's hand reached out again, the mandarin duck was so frightened that she screamed again and shouted: "Miss, Miss, I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!" ”

She thumped her head three more times, and blood flowed down her hairline.

The mandarin duck shouted: "Girl, I can't marry a good family, my body has been broken by the master of the Xu family——"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them hissed.

Zhao Sichen frowned, and just wanted to speak, but the mandarin duck was worried about being kicked out, and he had already crackled and poured out like pouring beans: "Miss, that old man of the Xu family is a sanctimonious beast!"

He forcibly ...... Forcibly broke my body.

Miss, I can't marry a good man, you can take me in......"

The mandarin duck cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Miss, you drive me away, I have no way to live, I don't want to become a secret prostitute, I can only die......"

Zhao Sichen looked at the mandarin duck with a hint of pity in his eyes.

In this era, women are too harsh.

A lone woman, if she is not sheltered by a large family, will only be swallowed to the point that there are no bones left.

Just find a reason, you can resell a young girl at will, beat and kill it, let alone force this kind of thing......

If what the mandarin duck said is true, then if you drive her out, she will either become a prostitute or be resold to a dirty place where she doesn't know what.

The mandarin duck lay on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

Zhao Sichen pondered for a long time and said, "If you make a mistake, you must be punished-"

When the mandarin duck heard this, his heart fell in panic, and his face was like ashes.

Zhao Sichen said again: "It's impossible for you to stay in the restaurant anymore-"

The mandarin duck wailed, like a desperate howl from an animal before it died.

Yunbi, Sister-in-law Jin and all the maids around them all showed unbearable looks on their faces.

Zhao Sichen sighed and said, "I can give you another job." You go to the essential oil workshop on the outskirts of the city. ”

The mandarin duck raised his head suddenly, and looked at Zhao Sichen in a daze-

Zhao Sichen said: "I went over there, but I wasn't comfortable here." You stay in the front yard and do chores like carrying flowers, drying flowers, and sprinkling laundry. ”

The mandarin duck was a little stunned and didn't react.

Zhao Sichen said: "Your current monthly money is 2 taels of silver, and when you go to the outskirts of the city, you will reduce it to 500 big money according to the monthly example of the rough mother-in-law——"

Zhao Sichen looked at the mandarin duck and asked slowly, "Are you willing?" ”

The mandarin duck was in a trance, and when she heard the question, she didn't react for a while that she was asking her, but looked at the sister-in-law Jin on the side.

Sister-in-law Jin hurriedly stepped forward and pushed her: "The eldest lady asked you something, answer quickly." ”

The mandarin duck was pushed before he came to his senses, banged his head a few times, and stumbled and replied: "Willing, willing, I am willing......"

Zhao Sichen waved his hand: "You go back and pack your things, and leave today." ”

The mandarin duck shouted again and again: "Miss Xie is gracious, Miss Xie is ......"

Sister-in-law Jin was afraid that the mandarin duck would make Zhao Sichen unhappy again, so she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the mandarin duck up from the ground and pushed her out half-forcedly.

After dealing with the mandarin duck matter, Zhao Sichen was even more depressed.

The honey in Zhao Sichen's cup was already cold, Yun Bi stepped forward to remove the cold honey and replace it with a hot one.

Zhao Sichen asked in a low voice: "Sister Yunbi, you said that I am such a decisive person, why did I come to Daqing City and my heart has softened?" ”

Yun Bi deliberately teased Zhao Sichen: "That's because the people you used to deal with were rough guys, and you rarely dealt with the ladies and girls." ”

Zhao Sichen listened, but nodded solemnly and said, "What you said is true." ”

In the past, in Pushan County, I met either small hooligans or a bunch of rough men in the carriage and horses, and they couldn't be suppressed without any thunderous means.

Now that I have come to Daqing City, it is a different environment, and my mood has naturally changed.

In this era, it is too cruel to women.

She, don't make it worse.

Zhao Sichen suddenly remembered something: "No wonder, I always feel that there is something I haven't done." ”

Yunbi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Sichen said: "Sister Yunbi, the restaurant will open, and it will be three days later. You have worked hard these days. ”

Yun Bi smiled: "It's nothing. It's all about ready to open at any time. ”

There was one more thing she had to do before she could open her business.

Zhao Sichen hurriedly walked out and boarded the carriage: "Go to the Three Princes' Mansion." ”

……

……

Zhao Sichen hurried to the Three Princes' Mansion.

This is the first time Zhao Sichen has visited the Three Princes' Mansion.

The porter was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old servant, who didn't know Zhao Sichen, and when he saw Zhao Sichen's face, he couldn't tell which adult's family he was, and there were not many maids and servants to follow, so it was expected that she was just an ordinary woman.

So, the porter sent Zhao Sichen away with a word: "I don't know which noble family you are?" It's better to go back and write the post and hand it over, if the three princes want to see you, our three princes' mansions will naturally come to the door to invite. ”

The latter sentence is obviously a polite cliché.

Zhao Sichen was helpless, so he had to smile and say that he wanted to see Steward Xing.

"Steward Xing has a lot of opportunities, we don't know if he is in the house today, the girl should go back first."

The porter put it mildly.

The people who come to the door every day don't know how many, and generally say this level, they will know each other and leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Sichen's smile remained unchanged, and he said: "Since the third prince and Steward Xing can't see each other, can I meet Lord Tian Hong Datian." ”

The porter looked at Zhao Sichen with a little suspicion.

Although the girl in front of her is not very old, she has an extraordinary bearing.

Although there are no slaves around, they seem to be very familiar with the people of the Three Princes' Mansion.

Even the name of the third prince's personal servant is known.

The porter hesitated for a moment, and decided to pass the word: "Please wait, girl, I'll invite Brother Tian to come." ”

The porter beckoned, and the errand boy who had already run an errand came smartly.

The porter said a word to the errand boy, and the boy ran away quickly.

In less than a short period of time, Tian Hong panted and trotted out of the house.

Seeing Zhao Sichen, Tian Hongda's original red face became innocent.

"My aunt, why did you come to the door in person!"

Tian Hongda exclaimed, and after realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he hurriedly stepped forward and gave a big salute, saying: "Miss Zhao, if you have anything, just tell me, how dare you bother you to run." ”

Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, but I suddenly remembered that there was something else and forgot to discuss it with your master......

Tian Hong hurriedly put people in the door: "Miss Zhao, please ......"

"I don't know if it's inconvenient, it's the same if you help me bring a sentence......"

"Convenient, convenient!" Tian Hongda's face turned a little whiter. He didn't dare to spread the word between Zhao Sichen and the third master.

Who doesn't know that since returning to Daqing City, the third master ran to Miss Zhao as soon as he had time.

If the third master knew about it, Miss Zhao came to the door in person today, but he asked Miss Zhao to go back......

Tian Hongda shuddered.

Thinking of this, Tian Hongda glared at the porter and said in a low voice: "Miss Zhao is a distinguished guest in our house, and when you see Miss Zhao in the future, you will go to the house to welcome you as soon as possible, don't delay!" ”

The porter was also scared enough.

Originally, the people of the Zhao family, he only knew Qingzhu.

Who knows, this Miss Zhao is the master of Qingzhu!

Qingzhu came to the door to pass the word or deliver something, and they had to greet it respectfully.

What's more, it's the master of Qingzhu, the eldest lady of the Zhao family!

Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "It's me who didn't make it clear, don't blame the people below." ”

Tian Hongda wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, respectfully led the way, and took Zhao Sichen to the study.

Wei Qianlang had already changed into his regular clothes and was writing in the study.

The messenger stood at the door, not daring to go in and disturb.

Zhao Sichen waved his hand and motioned for Tian Hongda to wait.

She stood in the doorway and waited patiently for a while.

Wei Qianlang finished writing, put down the pen, and looked at the words that had just been written on the table, but his hand was stretched to the side.

Tian Hongda hurriedly wrung the wet towel, Zhao Sichen took the wet towel in Tian Hongda's hand with a smile, handed it to Wei Qianlang, and then walked to Wei Qianlang's side to look at the words he had just written.

"Your handwriting is so good." Zhao Sichen praised from the bottom of his heart.

Wei Qianlang turned his head sharply and saw Zhao Sichen standing beside her.

I don't know why, the words "red sleeves add fragrance" appeared in Wei Qianlang's mind.

Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people.

Wei Qianlang's face was hot, and he looked away unnaturally.

Zhao Sichen didn't notice Wei Qianlang's abnormality.

She smiled and took Wei Qianlang's finished wet towel, handed it to Tian Hongda, and said, "I forgot something just now, so I ran over to you again, didn't bother you?" ”

"No, Miss Zhao, please take a seat." Wei Qianlang gave up his seat a little uncomfortably.

Tian Hong's eyes were so big that he handed over the tea quickly.

Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "You were in a hurry just now, and there is one more thing that I haven't had time to tell you, we plan to open on the 10th of this month, I don't know if on the opening day, will you be lucky enough to invite the second princess to come to the shop to taste the fresh dishes?" ”

"You're here for this, huh?"

Zhao Sichen seemed to hear the disappointment from Wei Qianlang's tone?

Zhao Sichen was a little puzzled: "Otherwise?" What do you think I'm here for? ”

Wei Qianlang was a little embarrassed.

What exactly he was looking forward to, he didn't know.

Zhao Sichen looked at Wei Qianlang's expression, thinking that he was embarrassed, and said with some embarrassment: "If it is difficult, I will think of another idea to see how to make a name for myself." Our restaurant has a new food style, so we don't have to worry about no business......"

As soon as Zhao Sichen said this, he saw Wei Qianlang's face sink suddenly.

She was a little confused, and she didn't know why the second middle school boy in front of her was suddenly out of the right mood.

I promised her before, but now I don't want to do it.

Zhao Sichen was not in a very good mood today, and he didn't have the heart to coax the second boy.

She silently picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, got up and said goodbye: "Little Third Master, if you are embarrassed at this time, I didn't say it." ”

Wei Qianlang's heart suddenly stopped.

Zhao Sichen said such a thing, but it was as if he was wrong.

He frowned and said, "I haven't said a word yet, why did you make up your mind." ”

"It's probably because—" Zhao Sichen smiled: "I know each other." ”

Zhao Sichen put the teacup in his hand on the table, got up and said, "Little Third Master, you are busy, I'll go first." ”

Wei Qianlang saw Zhao Sichen walking out in a dashing manner, shaking his hands easily, as if the conversation between the two people did not affect half a point.

And his heart was already a mess.

Before he could think clearly about what he thought in his heart, Wei Qianlang had already raised his legs and chased after him: "I didn't say that I wouldn't help you invite the second sister ......"
