History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

Nanny is not that easy to invite. It took nearly two months for Father An to finally get the news from Zuo Ling's family.

Zuo Ling had never expected to receive a windfall. He originally thought that the other party was just doing a small business, so he wanted to find someone to cover him. He didn't expect to send 20 taels of silver in just two months.

20 taels is enough to buy a house.

After collecting such a large amount of money, there is a possibility that it will continue to flow in the future. Zuo Ling is a little embarrassed. The so-called cannibalism is short-mouthed and soft-handed. When he heard that Father An was looking for Jing Qi, he immediately helped out. Inquire about the relationship.

There is finally news these days.

"...I heard that she used to serve the Empress Dowager, but later the Empress Dowager died, and the Palace of Compassion and Ning could not keep so many people, so she invited her out of the palace. After leaving the palace, it is not that the palace hired her as a wonderful nurse. But there are still people in her hometown, and she didn't want to get involved in the back house, so she went back to her hometown. Nothing else, but her temper is soft, and she has no defense against her family."

"Over the years, my nephew has been defrauding her of her savings one after another. Now that she has been emptied, the nephew turns his face and refuses to support her. She has seen through the face of her nephew's family and would rather go back to Beijing to ask for a living than face those people in her hometown. I just came to Beijing in the past two days, and I heard that she has been asking people to talk and enter the mansion to be an exquisite nanny, but now there are nanny going out of the palace every year, it's not like when she first came out... "

On this day, Father An got the news and left his eldest son in the workshop alone. He ran back and told Minning about the matter, and explained the other party's situation clearly, and then observed Minning's face .

"Ama thinks this way, first bring her back and let her teach you for a few years. If she can teach you wholeheartedly, our family will give her a pension in the future. What do you think? If you agree, Ama will bring her back. "

"Can people take a fancy to our small place?"

"Why not? Let's make our conditions clear and promise to provide her with a pension in the future, so you don't have to worry about intrigue. It's no worse than living in that mansion."

Minning smiled and poured a cup of hot tea for Father An, and said, "Then I'll listen to Ama, and when Mammy invites me back, I will learn from her with all my heart."

When Father An heard this, he rubbed his hands and was very happy, "That's fine, Ama will reply to you right away."

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the gate of the courtyard outside.

Father An turned around and shouted, "Here we are!" Then he said to Minning, "Ama will go to Zuo Ling's house to settle this matter. You should wait at home." After speaking, he hurriedly got up and went to the yard Walk.

The door slammed, and Father An's shout came from outside, "Here we come, we come, who is it outside?"

Minning signaled Xiaoqing to go outside to see what was going on.

In this winter, no one wants to go out, where can someone come to visit?

While guessing, Minning walked to the door and listened carefully to the movement outside.

"Excuse me, is this the Master An's house?" A voice that sounded particularly old sounded.

"I don't dare to be the master. My surname is indeed An. Why do you want me?" Father An's voice was full of doubts.

"Oh, the old man is a villager in Xiaotangshan. Someone came to the city today and asked the old man to bring you a message, saying that the thing you asked for earlier has come to fruition, so you can go there when you have time."

The meaning of these words was vague, but An's father was overjoyed and hurried to invite someone into the house for tea.The old man declined, and just said: "You don't need to drink tea. The old man also dropped by to bring you a message. You have something to do when you go to the city. Don't delay." Then he left.

In the yard, Xiaoqing was still at a loss for what the two of them said. She had just come to this house not long ago, so she didn't know much about the situation at home.I just feel that my young lady is very different from ordinary people, but Xiaoqing can't say exactly what is different.

Father An happily ran to Minning's room, "Minning, good news, great news!"

Seeing Father An coming in, Minning gave Xiaoqing winks behind her, and Xiaoqing immediately avoided going to the kitchen.

Father An also restrained his excitement a bit, but he was still very happy, "Finally I can get back your deed of prostitution." Then he stroked Minning's shoulder-length hair and smiled happily, " When you change your identity back and stay at home for a few years, if we don't talk about it, no one will know."

Minning smiled, "Ama, please take care of me."

"Ama, I'll hire a car to hand over your deed of prostitution and get it back." Father An couldn't wait any longer, and turned around after speaking.

Minning quickly stopped him, "Ama, I'll go with you."

Father An shook his head, "Daughter, don't get involved in this matter, Ama will handle it for you." After getting back the deed of prostitution, and then sending some money to the government office, that identity will disappear after that, anyway, his daughter The household registration before being abducted is still there.

As long as that low profile is erased, his daughter's life will come back, and no one will know about her past experience as long as no one checks it out.

It's not that he dislikes his daughter's being a maid, but he has to think about her daughter's future. If this experience is known, it will be difficult for her to be talked about.

He had told the neighbors in the alley before that after his daughter was abducted, she was kindly adopted by a family. When she grew up, her adoptive parents died, so she came back home.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, my family still has to unify this caliber.

After the new year, I changed to a bigger house and moved away from the original neighbors, and no one knew about these things.

In fact, the money their family earns is enough to buy a big house now, but because they didn't wait for Zhuangzi's reply over there, they didn't think about buying it.

Thinking of this, An's father felt that it was time to look for a dental firm first, and move as soon as there was a suitable house.

Minning was not discouraged by An's father's refusal, and she revealed all her plans.

"Ama, for more than a year, my daughter has been taken care of by Madam Wu a lot. Not only has she not been beaten or scolded, but she also has no worries about food and drink, and the work is easy. There is also the matter of redemption this time, and she is not in trouble. We have helped us a lot, and before my daughter wanted to say goodbye, I went to thank her in person, which was considered a full share of my kindness."

When Father An heard it, he thought it made sense. Those who are kind to our family should be repaid, and it is also appropriate to thank them before leaving.

"Alright then, Ama will hire a car right away. You can search for something at home and bring something there to thank you. You can't go empty-handed..."

Minning brought two bars of soap, and he searched for some at home and brought some.Of course, she didn't show off too much. This gift list is ordinary, but the two pieces of soap are quite interesting. After all, soap has been fried at this time, and the price is not high, but ordinary people can't get it at all.

Father An hired a carriage, and Minning got into the carriage, swiped the whip on the handlebars, and rode out of the city.

When I arrived at Zhuangzi in Xiaotangshan, I saw that Mammy Wu Minning didn't speak, but let Father An speak.

Father An said a lot of grateful words as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Madam Wu dizzy, and finally she had to interrupt him, "This is also because the master is kind, and he didn't take this matter to heart, and the master Ask if you have enough money, if not, I will give you money."

Father An looked grateful, "Enough, enough, the family has saved some savings over the years."

Nanny Wu only charged them five taels of silver, which was originally the price marked on the deed of sale.

Both Anfu and Minning breathed a sigh of relief when they got back the deed of selling their lives. This piece of yellow paper represented her fate, and now it finally returned to her own hands.

This reminded Minning of what happened a year ago. If she hadn't met that boy, her end would have been miserable, and she would definitely have to spend more time to get out of such a dirty place.

"Nurse Wu, I wonder if I can personally thank Master." Father An said some words of gratitude to Nanny Wu again, and Min Ning who was beside him suddenly spoke.

She didn't have any other ideas, but simply wanted to thank the other party for saving her fate of being sold into the land of fireworks.

Nanny Wu took a deep look at her, and suddenly smiled, the smile in her eyes didn't reach her eyes, she declined politely, "Since the Zhuangzi was built, the master has come here once, and our little Zhuangzi is just the most inconspicuous part of the master's life." industry."

Minning understood the hint, it meant that the owner of Zhuangzi didn't take Zhuangzi seriously, let alone a girl on Zhuangzi's side.

She wasn't disappointed either, she had no hope in the first place and just had the mentality of giving it a try.Now that she was rejected, Minning also let go of her thoughts, and after bidding farewell to Nanny Wu, she went back with her father.

The next day, Father An brought back the Jing Qi Nanny surnamed Shi.

Nanny Shi is a Manchu, Guerjia family, originally from Liaodong.

Manchus in this era are accustomed to giving themselves a Chinese surname, such as An's father, whose Manchu surname is An Jia, and the Chinese surname is abbreviated as An.

Another example is the crown princess, her Chinese surname is Shi, and she was changed to Guarjia after being named crown princess.

Nanny Shi and the Crown Princess are from the same ancestral home.

"The servant girl and the Crown Princess are far apart, so how can we have a relationship." When Minning asked curiously, Nanny Shi replied respectfully.

Minning knew that she didn't want to talk about it, so she asked Xiaoqing to vacate Minxing's room for Nanny Shi first.

Now Minxing has officially moved to the yard over to the workshop. Firstly, it is to guard the goods;

If it wasn't for the fear that it would be unsafe to leave only women in the house, Father An would not rush back to spend the night.

When Father An wanted to buy a bigger house, Minning agreed with both hands.

After another year, I found a big house in the inner city. According to An's father, the inner city is safe, even if he can't make it back at night, it's fine.

After all, this house is mainly for Minning to live in, and for her safety, it is difficult for Father An to spend all his time in moving the house into the inner city.

Fortunately, banner houses are not allowed to be sold privately and flow into the private sector, but bannermen and bannermen are allowed to buy and sell, and the price is not too high. I bought 220 and a half rooms for 32 taels.

After having a house, An's father bought another person, and equipped all the housekeepers, the housekeepers, the cooks, and the maids who waited on the daughter.

When the family is in good shape and all the money he earned is spent, he can take care of the workshop with peace of mind.

And Minning also started a life of in-depth and simple life.
