"Steward Zhou, today's account book." The servant handed the account book to Qiuniang.
Qiu Niang sat on the warm kang with a small table on it. She sat cross-legged on it, with a quilt on her knees, and a cup of hot tea at her hand. Now she is also a small manager, in charge of a district. people.
Yun Niu came in from outside the house, it was snowing outside, she shook off the snowflakes from her clothes at the door, patted her head twice before walking in, still holding a small frame of carbon in her hand, she smiled silly: "This year's The charcoal is better than last year's! It doesn't burn much smoke! It's almost the same as silver charcoal!"
Qiu Niang greeted her quickly: "Come and sit, the kang is burning and warm."
"There are so many things today?" Yun Niu, standing not far from the door, stepped on her feet and rubbed her hands, and said, "I'm all cold, wait for me to go over slowly."
Qiu Niang got down from the kang, poured a cup of hot tea for Yun Niu, handed it over, Yun Niu held it with both hands.
Yun Niu smiled at Qiuniang: "It's really warm."
Qiu Niang asked her, "How much do you live today?"
Although Yun Niu was originally Qiu Niang's personal girl, she was the most clumsy of the four girls who were close to her body. Originally it was only the material of the rough maid, but Qiu Niang was young at that time and had a kind heart. When she was bullied in the room, she was promoted to be her personal maid.
Yun Niu was clumsy and did a lot of bad things, but Qiu Niang tried her best to protect her.
Being bullied by other maids and starving, it was Qiu Niang who pushed others away and asked her to eat her own food.
Qiu Niang is very smart, she knows that if the maids know that she is good to Yun Niu, the maids will only bully her more and more. Yun Niu is stupid and doesn't know how to sue her, so Qiu Niang can only think about her more.
After all, Qiu Nian is the young lady, not the young master. If it is the young master, Yun Niu's room can be taken away.
She couldn't keep looking at Yun Niu.
Later, those maids probably found out that Yun Niu was indeed a fool and stopped bullying her, and Yun Niu's life was easier.
But Yun Niu herself didn't think so. The most common thing she said at that time was: "I'm living a good life now!"
"Miss! Yunniu ate meat today!"
At home, Qiu Niang protects Yun Niu.
When something happened, Yun Niu protected Qiu Niang.
The two of them, the master and the servant, walked along with their arms and legs, and even survived with all their hands and feet.
Because Yun Niu was clumsy, she was returned after working in the sewing bureau for a few days.
Then went to nursery to take care of the children - she was not good at dealing with children, was not careful and was returned.
Now Yunniu is helping in the back kitchen, chopping vegetables, but she can continue to work, and she has not been returned.
"I don't have much to live today." Yun Niu drank a sip of hot tea and smiled at Qiuniang, "I've been praised! The chef said that I have the quickest hands and feet! It's better than the new one."
Yun Niu was so happy that she almost jumped up and down.
Qiu Niang was also very happy for Yun Niu, she waved at Yun Niu and said, "Come here, I will teach you to read."
Yun Niu was instantly stunned, she said half coquettishly and half weakly: "Miss, I can't learn it."
She always felt that the characters looked strange. In her eyes, the characters were strange and distorted paintings. She couldn't match the number at all. It was too difficult. Only a smart person like the young lady could learn it.
Qiuniang persuaded: "When you can read, you can take the exam, and maybe you can find a job to transcribe, which is easier than working in the big kitchen."
Yun Niu whispered, "It's better to relax in the big kitchen."
Qiu Niang looked at her.
Yun Niu lowered her head: "I learn, can't I learn?"
"This is Sun, your surname." Qiu Niang taught Yun Niu to write her name.
Yun Niu looked at Sun Zi: "It looks really strange."
Qiu Niang sighed, "I'll write it again for you to read."
Until Qiu Niang had to start reading the ledger, Yun Niu couldn't learn the word.
Qiu Niang was helpless and could only continue to settle accounts. Yun Niu sat next to them and sorted out their things. They had to move tomorrow. Originally, this house was a temporary structure. The area that Qiu Niang manages is a new area. It's very big - they don't have their own belongings, furniture and daily necessities, they are alone, and everything depends on Qiu Niang to solve it.
After reading the account book and making sure that there was no problem with any expenses, Qiu Niang went to wash her face and feet.
Yun Niu had already warmed up the water. Seeing Qiuniang get off the kang, she hurried over to pour the water.
Qiu Niang couldn't compete with her, and said anxiously: "You are no longer my maid, I can draw water myself, don't wait for me!"
Yun Niu didn't agree with her words, she opened her round eyes and said seriously, "Why am I not the maid of Miss?"
Just as Qiu Niang was about to speak, Yun Niu had already poured the water into the copper basin and tried it: "Just right! It's not hot anymore."
"Miss." Yun Niu looked at Qiu Niang washing her face, and said glumly, "Don't say that kind of thing again, this slave girl sounds uncomfortable."
Qiu Niang glared at her, and Yun Niu quickly changed her words: "I sound uncomfortable."
"Miss is Miss."
"I have to serve Miss for the rest of my life!"
When she was at Zhou's house, the happiest day was when the mother above told her to serve the young lady.
How happy she was then! That's Miss!
Yun Niu felt like a pie from the sky. She went home and told her parents that they had praised her for her achievements. Before at home, she had to do a lot of work. Even if she went to Zhou's house to be a maid, she still had to do it when she got home. To live, she has to go to the ground, take her brother and sister, and give all her monthly money to the family.
As a little girl, you have to take part of the monthly money to honor the mothers, otherwise the girls below will bully her.
But Yun Niu couldn't honor them, so she did the hardest work at Zhou's house, all the dirty and stinky things belonged to her.
Later, when she went to the young lady's house, the mothers stopped bullying her and would say nice things to her. Although she didn't understand them, they were definitely nice words! All the mothers laughed at her!
The rough girls who had bullied her once gave her gifts and begged her to mention them in front of the young lady.
When she got home, her parents stopped urging her to work and bring her younger siblings.
Although Yun Niu is stupid, she is not stupid, she knows that all this is brought to her by the young lady.
So she was grateful to Dade and felt that Miss was the best and right person in the world.
The world began to change, when something happened to the young lady, Yunniu carried the young lady on her back and ran for her life. She was stronger than other girls. She did rough work since she was a child, which left a layer of calluses on the soles of her feet. Yunniu has never been so grateful to God, if she If you are thinner, you may not be able to protect the young lady.
They couldn't find anything to eat, and there were men who always looked at the young lady with lewd eyes. Yun Niu knew such people, she came from the bottom, and she knew what men thought.
So she said to the man, "Do you have anything to eat?"
The man licked his lower lip, touched his crotch, and said to her, "As much as you want."
Yun Niu told him: "You give me food, and I will sleep with you."
That night, Yun Niu lost her first time in the woods. She heard the cry of a young lady not far away and felt the pain in her body. She told herself not to cry, she had to find something to eat, and she wanted to satisfy the man. , so he will find her next time.
Yun Niu got a hare and a handful of dandelions.
They survived.
Once, a man kicked her away after he was done with her.
He was walking towards her and the lady's shed, and he said, "I haven't tasted the taste of a lady from a big family. I don't know what the difference is with you."
Yun Niu was crazy, she got up from the ground and hugged the man's waist, she begged him: "Don't touch her! You fuck me, I'm not afraid of pain, you can hit me, but don't touch her!"
The man kicked her again: "You're so boring, you bitch, how can you compare to a lady with thin skin and tender meat."
Yun Niu rushed over again, she hugged the man's leg, stretched her neck to bite the man's flesh, her mouth was full of blood, she didn't know whether it was her own or the man's, the man suffered pain, and another kick, this time Annoying the man, he punched her on the head, and Yun Niu thought she was going to die.
It hurt so much, she couldn't hear anything, her eyes were blurry.
Watching the man walk into the shed, Yun Niu didn't know where she got her strength, she stood up swayingly, picked up a stone from the grass, and walked into the shed.
The man had already succeeded, he pressed on the lady, Yun Niu could see his muddy ass.
She lifted the stone and slammed it down hard, again and again, until it was a bloody mess.
"Miss." She said to Qiuniang with her last strength, "Don't be afraid, Yunniu will protect you."
Then she collapsed, remembering nothing.
"It's a good day now." Yun Niu laid out the quilt and lay on the kang with Qiuniang. She whispered, "Miss, when we move the house, let's go and bring a child back."
Qiu Niang hurt her body and could no longer bear children.
Yun Niu herself had lost a few children and could not give birth.
They talked before, and they all decided not to get married and not to find a man.
Qiu Niang nodded: "Bring a girl back."
Yun Niu said with a smile, "I'll make her clothes."
Qiu Niang: "Your needlework is too bad!"
Yun Niu was not convinced: "I went to study, and Aunt Zhao said she taught me."
Qiu Niang snickered: "Aunt Zhao laughed at you last time."
"She didn't laugh at me." Yun Niu pouted, "Aunt Zhao said that I can sit still, and I will definitely learn well in the future."
Qiu Niang yawned, turned over and said, "Then you go to school, and you will do it for me in the future." She would not dislike Yun Niu's craftsmanship.
Yun Niu was happy: "I'll give you the best looking body!"
The two of them talked about what to buy after the child was brought back, when to send the child to the school, and discussed how old they should be.
"I fell asleep. If I don't sleep again, I won't be able to get up in the morning." Qiu Niang patted Yun Niu on the back.
Yun Niu nodded, pulled the quilt and covered it more tightly, and the two fell asleep together.
It was snowing outside and the wind was cold.
The Kang is burning in the house, and the four seasons are like spring.
