The mandarin duck's body trembled, lying on the ground, motionless.

I don't know if I heard her.

Zhao Sichen sighed, his voice full of exhaustion and disappointment.

Zhao Sichen raised his head, looked at Mrs. Jia, and planned to order: "Aunt Jia......"

Mandarin duck heard the deep disappointment in Zhao Sichen's voice, she heard Zhao Sichen call Jia Niangzi, she raised her head in fright, screamed, and shouted: "Miss......"

With this scream, the mandarin duck swooped forward and grabbed the corner of Zhao Sichen's skirt.

Jia Niangzi was frightened by the mandarin duck's sudden movements.

Zhao Sichen didn't move, lowered his eyes, and looked at the mandarin duck that pounced at her feet.

The mandarin duck's sideburns were messy, his eyes were full of fear, and he explained to himself in a panic: "I am not unfaithful to my wife, it was Master Xu who forced me!" ”

The mandarin duck was overly frightened, and in despair, he spoke smartly: "I refuse to obey, I am the eldest maid beside the master's mother, and I serve my wife very well, and my wife said that she will arrange a good marriage for me."

It was Master Xu who forced me......

I cried to my wife, and she said that I had climbed out of bed by myself......

Mrs. Xu hated me because of this......

I didn't, I said I didn't, but Madame didn't believe me......"

The mandarin duck cried and shouted, and the few little girls standing in the yard around were frightened, hiding under the porch and watching, not daring to rob it.

Zhao Sichen looked at the mandarin duck quietly.

Maybe it's not that she doesn't believe it, but Mrs. Xu can't admit it, and she can't admit that Master Xu is such a shameless and unscrupulous person.

The mandarin duck cried and shouted: "After I was ruined, Master Xu still wants ...... Still want ......

I don't follow ......

I hid, but I couldn't......

No one helped me, no one took pity on me......

Master Xu likes to beat people, and he also loves some new looks......

I can't take it anymore......

Fortunately, the Xu family had to move their family, and I was able to escape from the den of thieves. ”

The mandarin duck cried so much that his face was full of flowers: "I don't want to be a person, I don't dare to be a person anymore......

The life of the next person is not the life!

Master Xu let me go, regretted it, and found someone to send me money......

Miss, I was confused by lard, and when I saw a nobleman, I could reach the sky in one step if I was delusional......

Miss, your guests are all dragons and phoenixes, much better than serving that old man......"

The mandarin duck howled heartbreakingly, explaining.

Zhao Sichen looked out the door, the summer wind was blowing, and the leaves were blowing.

A few little girls under the porch hugged each other and trembled.

Jia Niangzi listened to Mandarin Duck's words, and her face showed unbearability.

Zhao Sichen was silent.

Tzu is not in charge of the army.

She aspires to be a big businessman, and she wants to make a lot of money.

She won't tolerate having someone under her hands make mistakes again and again.

But......

Zhao Sichen looked at the mandarin duck with unbearability in his eyes.

This world is too cruel to women, and she can predict what the consequences will be if she drives out a maid who has no family shade......

Mandarin ducks are smart, and she knows this is her last chance.

The mandarin duck shook Zhao Sichen's trouser legs desperately, begged for a while, and seeing that Zhao Sichen was silent, she knelt up straight and lifted her sleeves.

Zhao Sichen looked down, and his eyes were in a trance for a moment.

The mandarin duck's two arms are densely covered with scars-

Knife wounds, whiplashes, chokes......

New injuries and old wounds, layered on top of each other.

"And, there'......"

The mandarin duck trembled his hands, raised his hand and touched his chest, wanting to unbutton his clothes, and just unbuttoned the top button-

Zhao Sichen stretched out his hand violently and pressed the mandarin duck.

The mandarin duck cried and cried, with a hint of miserable laughter: "Some of the descendants of the Xu family have children, and although some have bought them, some of them are outside thinking about helping them redeem themselves."

It's just me, and all my family is dead......

My family was poor, and my parents sold me to support the whole family, and I also admitted it.

It's good that my parents are here, and I still have a thought.

Now, my parents are dead, I have no father or mother, my brother is a gambler, and my sister-in-law is a prostitute......

Nobody cares about me......

That old immortal plays with me, plays with me......

The old pious woman whipped and beat me and abused me......

The more miserable I am, the happier my two in-laws become......

Miss, it's not that I don't want to work, it's that I can't work, I ...... I ......"

The mandarin duck trembled and raised his hand, revealing the hideous wound on his wrist: "My tendons have been broken......

I can't do rough work......

I can't do the delicate work either......"

The more the mandarin duck spoke, the more desperate he became, and in the end, he couldn't cry, and laughed in his throat.

The heart is as hard as Zhao Sichen, and his heart is also shocked.

The mandarin duck laughed for a while, and then muttered in a low voice: "What else do I have?"

The only thing I can rely on is my body.

But I don't want to......

I'm not happy to sell my body to get by......

I also want to find a good family, but who wants me......"

Jia Niangzi's heart was soft, and her tears had already followed the mandarin duck's cry.

Seeing the mandarin duck's face like dead ashes, like madness-

Jia Niangzi couldn't hold back any longer, walked over in a few steps, knelt beside the mandarin duck, and said to Zhao Sichen while holding the mandarin duck: "Miss, you pity the poor mandarin duck, give her a place to stay!" ”

Zhao Sichen just wanted to speak, but Jia Niangzi was worried that she would refuse, so she hurriedly preemptively said: "Mandarin ducks can't work, but she's amazing......"

Jia Niangzi pointed to the bouquets of flowers in the yard and said: "With such a large pile of goods, the mandarin duck doesn't need to look at it, just by sniffing it with her nose, you can know where there are bad goods."

The incense we made in the backyard smelled a little bit, and the mandarin ducks could be smelled in the front yard.

She couldn't work, but she helped me a lot!

Thanks to her, we are able to create good quality incense every time. ”

"And what do you do?" Zhao Sichen raised his eyebrows and looked at the mandarin duck.

The mandarin duck was in a daze, in a trance, and looked ahead blankly.

She didn't know that Jia Niangzi was helping her intercede.

Zhao Sichen said abruptly: "Can you make incense?" ”

Mrs. Jia was stunned for a moment, her heart was overjoyed, and she pushed the mandarin duck violently: "The eldest lady asked you, answer quickly!" ”

The mandarin duck's dull eyes slowly froze, looked at Zhao Sichen, and remembered that Zhao Sichen was asking.

The mandarin duck nodded: "I understand ...... slightly"

As soon as the words came out, the mandarin duck was shocked that something was wrong, and he shook his head and shouted loudly: "No, no, I understand!" I know!

In the past, my wife's rouge gouache and hair oil were all made by myself.

I know incense, I can make fragrance! ”

She was incoherent and made reassurances.

Zhao Sichen nodded and said in a deep voice: "In the future, my business will get bigger and bigger, and I don't have time to come over often."

We now have several honeydew and essential oils that have made a name for themselves in Daqing City.

Therefore, the incense on the side of the essential oil workshop cannot be broken.

However, it has always been one or two scents, which are not only easy to go out of style, but also easy to imitate.

So ......"

Zhao Sichen looked at the maid and said word by word: "In order to ensure that we can always have new things for our guests, the task of developing new fragrances will be entrusted to you." ”

The mandarin duck still looked at Zhao Sichen blankly, as if he couldn't understand what Zhao Sichen was saying.

Jia Niangzi grabbed the mandarin duck's hand suddenly, pressed her head and knocked down: "The eldest lady gave you a chance, don't you hurry up and thank the eldest lady." ”

The mandarin duck trembled his lips for a long time before he spit out: "Thank you." ”

Zhao Sichen stood up, took a step forward, and helped Jia Niangzi and Mandarin Duck up.

She first said to Jia Niangzi: "Mandarin ducks can't do heavy work, and you don't have to do the work of moving flowers and drying flowers in the front yard in the future, you can arrange for people to replace them yourself." ”

Jia Niangzi nodded hurriedly.

Zhao Sichen continued: "In addition, find a quiet place for Mandarin Duck, and supply all the materials, so that she can concentrate on developing new products.

By the way, her monthly routine went from 500 yuan to one or two pieces of silver. ”

Jia Niangzi hurriedly answered yes.

Zhao Sichen looked at the mandarin duck and said, "I'll give you two months."

In two months, if you don't develop a new incense, then I will have to reconsider your treatment. ”

The mandarin duck nodded again and again: "I can, I can!" ”

Zhao Sichen continued: "If you develop a new essential oil, a fragrance, you will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver. Well done, if you want to marry someone in the future, I can help you find a good family. ”

The mandarin duck pounced, knelt down again, kowtowed again and again, and his forehead soon turned red.

She was originally a clever speaker, but at this moment her throat was choking, but she couldn't say a word.

Zhao Sichen thought for a while, and then ordered: "Tian Li is a simple man, if you are not sincere to others, don't delay them." ”

With tears in his eyes, the mandarin duck nodded again and again.

Jia Niangzi beckoned the two little girls to come over, helped the mandarin duck down, put away her tears again, and said to Zhao Sichen with a smile: "Miss, come to the outskirts of the city today, do you have any instructions?" ”

Zhao Sichen was silent for a long time before he spoke softly: "Aunt Jia, in the future, you will take care of the mandarin ducks and the girls in the workshop, ...... more."

Jia Niangzi responded softly.

Zhao Sichen said again: "Where you need to spend money, you don't have to be restrained. If you don't have enough money, just tell me. ”

Jia Niangzi said: "Miss, you are a kind-hearted person......"

Zhao Sichen smiled lightly and shook his head: "The world is too difficult, I can do a little, just do a little." ”

Do all in one's power.

Jia Niangzi said with a smile: "There are not many people who are willing to do something for others." ”

He said, "It's rare for you to come to the outskirts of the city, I'll accompany you to see the house, we've made some changes recently." ”

Zhao Sichen nodded, and under the leadership of Jia Niangzi, he walked around the front yard and the back yard.

Zhao Sichen saw that everything in the essential oil workshop was orderly, clean and hygienic, and he was satisfied.

Originally, Mrs. Jia could only cook and wash in her own small yard, and take care of her husband and children.

Now that she has been given a stage to show her ability, she can also do it like a model and do things very well.

Zhao Sichen put his mind at ease.

It seems that if there are no special circumstances in the future, she doesn't always have to go to the outskirts of the city, just leave the essential oil workshop to Jia Niangzi to take care of.

It's getting late, don't go past Mrs. Jia, get in the carriage, and return home.
