History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

Nanny Wu is in charge of all the servants in the Zhuangzi, and at the same time is in charge of the kitchen purchases in the Zhuangzi.

Although the steward is the steward on the surface, in fact, Madam Wu is in charge here.

Because this Zhuangzi was the place where the master arranged for Nanny Wu to take care of the elderly, so he didn't dare to take matters into his own hands, and directly put Zhuangzi's personnel affairs under the management of Nanny Wu, so An Minning naturally fell into the hands of Nanny Wu.

Mammy Wu used to be on duty in the small kitchen, and she would be too busy if she didn't touch the stove for a day. When she came to Zhuangzi, she took over the kitchen directly.

There are more than 20 servants in the whole Zhuangzi, and some nearby villages come to do part-time work, so the kitchen is very busy. After receiving An Minning, seeing that the people are not as tall as the stove, he directly arranged for her to be a fire girl.

An Minning has done a lot of things like this kind of fire on the stove, so naturally she can't be troubled.It's okay now, the weather is not too hot, and what I'm afraid of is June and July, which is the dog days, and if she stays in the kitchen, she might lose her life.

An Minning sighed, who made her a slave in the feudal society now?What to do, I can only endure until she collects enough money to redeem herself.Fortunately, the price offered by that boy is not high, so she can always make up enough by saving more.

But before she grows up, even if she has the ability to redeem herself, she will not redeem herself. The outside may not be as safe as in Zhuangzi.

After finishing the dinner, the sun was still hot outside, An Minning's work had come to an end, and the cooks began to take out their own dinner.She was also given a share, which was not as good as the previous half month's meal. Old rice was sandwiched with coarse grains, and there was a piece of greasy fat in the dish. For her, this kind of meal was already very good.

Although it was delicious and delicious for the first half month, she had been hungry for two years and her body was injured. After seeing a doctor, she could only drink some soup and water to feed her. This is the first time she has eaten rice in this world. .

This made An Minning unable to hold back the tears in her eyes. She had lived through too much hardship in the past two years, and she was always in fear, fearing that she would be sold to a lowly place, so she insisted on starving herself.Sometimes I wonder if I will starve to death. Those years were so difficult that I didn’t know how to survive.

Perhaps these experiences were nothing to the ancients, but for the charming girl who came from the modern age, it was indeed a great ordeal, and it also completely smoothed her water chestnut, and began to face the world squarely.

The two years of hard experience also allowed An Minning to develop a tenacious temperament. Later, no matter how difficult things were, she never panicked. No matter how hard it was, could it be harder than the precarious days of starving her stomach? ?

An Minning wanted to go back to her room after finishing her meal. As soon as she left the kitchen, she saw a girl in a flag dress at the gate of the courtyard and waved to her.

"Hey, little girl, come here!"

An Minning pointed to her nose and asked, "Sister, did you call me?"

The girl nodded, "Little girl, I'm Cuibi who is in front of Mammy Wu. Mammy calls you over to ask questions, follow me."

An Minning was stunned for a moment, seeing Cuibi turn around, she hurriedly followed.

Nanny Wu's yard is not far from the kitchen. After An Minning was brought into the house by Cuibi, she saw Nanny Wu sitting on the Arhat's bed with her eyes closed and recuperated. Beside her was another girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. Beat her leg with a mallet.

"Mommy, I brought this child here for you." Cuibi walked over and squeezed Nanny Wu's shoulders.

An Minning stood in the hall at a loss, not knowing how to salute.

Grandma Wu opened her eyes, saw An Minning, who looked thin and weak, frowned and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"

An Minning opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Madam Wu interrupted her first and said, "Okay, no matter what your name was before, you have to change your name when you enter this Zhuangzi. I have Cuibi and Cuiyu here. From now on you Let her be called Cuihua. Cuibi will bring her to your room, and she will be under your control from now on."

Cuibi stepped forward to take orders.

Before An Minning could react, she was led out by Cuibi under the name of Cuihua.

She was brought here emotionally, just to recognize people.

Cuibi took An Minning out, came to the west wing of the courtyard, opened the door, and there was a bed and a couch inside, and a half-embroidered embroidery frame was scattered on the couch.

Cuibi went up to tidy up, then turned her head and said to An Minning, "For the time being, you will sleep here, and I will send a craftsman from Zhuangzi to make another bed later. You can stay at ease. Madam Wu looks amazing, but As long as you work hard and don't be lazy and slippery, she won't hold you back."

An Minning nodded to express his understanding. When he first entered the workplace, his boss would definitely keep an eye on the latest arrival, and was always ready to make mistakes. If it was a big deal in modern times, he would resign and quit, but now is ancient times. If he made a mistake, he would be punished. The lightest ones would be beaten. , the heavy ones are sold out.

This is the lesson An Minning learned from Ren Yazi. At the beginning, she was also clumsy at work. After being beaten and scolded a few times, she quickly learned it and her hands and feet became agile.

Up to now, she is like an aborigine living in this era, showing no aura that does not belong to this era.

Cuibi still had to serve Nanny Wu for dinner, so she left after explaining a few words, leaving An Minning to look at the room alone.

The room is not big, and there is a canopy bed on the east side of the wall. pier.

After looking around for a while, An Minning went out to the previous residence and moved the quilt over. When she came to Zhuangzi, she did not bring any personal belongings, so the quilt was rolled up and the move was completed.

At this time, it was only about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still high. Although dinner had been eaten, the people in the village were still busy with their work.

After the move, An Minning officially settled down here, and she also had her first job in this era - Shaohuo girl.

This job has been done for half a year, and after the hot summer, one day after the autumn harvest, a farmer's woman in the village brought a thin girl over to see Mother Wu, and then An Minning was notified that her job Was topped off.

After being laid off, An Minning was quickly assigned the rough work of sweeping the yard, sweeping the house and wiping the tables in the garden of the east courtyard.

The east courtyard belongs to the residence of Zhuangzi's main family, but since Zhuangzi was built, the main family has not been here, so it is still empty and not very popular.

But no matter how empty it is, it must be cleaned on time. As a brick in the village, An Minning has been entrusted with this glorious task to move it wherever it is needed.

The huge east courtyard basically belongs to her. She sweeps from morning to evening, day after day, and the snow falls in a blink of an eye.

On this day, An Minning felt that the whole Zhuangzi's atmosphere was alive, and after inquiring again, it turned out that the emperor had returned from his tour outside the Great Wall, and the Zhuangzi's family might switch to live in Zhuangzi for a few days to soak in the hot springs this time.

All of a sudden, An Minning's work became hotter, and even Cuibi, who lived in the same room, had a much better attitude towards An Minning.

"Cuihua, are you going to be thirteen soon?"

An Minning was washing her hair in the room. When she first moved in, Madam Wu thought her hair was too short and too yellow, so she asked someone to shave it off.When she was in the kitchen, she didn't eat less food to nourish her hair. The newly grown hair was much darker, and now it has grown to the roots of her ears.

Wrapping her hair with a cloth towel at the side, An Minning turned to Cuibi who was sitting cross-legged on the bed mending clothes, "Yes, you will be thirteen after the new year."

There is a lot of food and drink in the village. When An Minning first came here, he was frighteningly thin and short. After more than half a year of raising her, her cheeks have become plump. Although she looks thin, she is only thin, within the range of normal people.

But the only thing that bothers her is that she hasn't grown up at all. In her previous life, she was [-], and she definitely looked down on most girls. In this life, she still doesn't know if she can grow to that height.

Cuibi put down her clothes and beckoned her to go over. After An Minning passed, she helped her wipe her hair. After wiping it half dry, she said to her in a discussing tone, "Cuihua, you have been here for so long, and you haven't visited Beijing yet. Right? Sister-in-law Wang is going to see her daughter in the capital tomorrow, do you want to take the opportunity to see her?"

Although Cuibi's tone seemed to be discussing, but her eyes were very determined, An Minning bit her lip, and finally said, "Then I will ask the nanny for leave tomorrow!"

Cuibi then replied with a smile, "What a good girl!"

An Minning is not a child, so she naturally knew that there must be something wrong, but she still wanted to wait until she grew up safely, so she was not prepared to participate.

Even if Cuibi didn't say anything, she still wanted to avoid this chaotic time as soon as possible.

The master's family is coming, and these maids who want to get ahead are crazy, they all want to leave Zhuangzi, and be taken back to the mansion by the master's fancy.Even An Minning's current job has become a fragrant bun.

An Minning originally thought that Cuibi was the maid who served Madam Wu, she was higher than the other maids in the Zhuangzi, so she probably wouldn't get involved, but she never thought that Cuibi could not escape the temptation because she underestimated people's desires.

Cuibi looked at the night outside in a daze, and she suddenly said: "You know what? Cuihua, I was originally a palace maid who served Madam Wu. I was only 15 years old when I left the palace. At that time, I was very innocent. I always thought that outside the palace was better than inside , I didn’t expect to waste my youth in a rural village. Now that I’m old, if I don’t work hard, I can only be rationed to the mud legs in the village. Anyway, I always want to marry, and it’s better to stay with the master than to stay It's good to be a peasant woman in the village." This seemed to be telling An Minning, but it was more like convincing her herself.

An Minning's heart skipped a beat, she didn't expect Cuibi to come out of the palace, it's no wonder that there was an indescribable charm in her gestures.It seems that the identity of the owner of Zhuangzi is not ordinary, it is very likely that he is a prince?

She has now figured out that it is the 34th year of Kangxi, if the prince is the fourth, he may be the future Emperor Yongzheng.

But the ones who can be used as nanny may also be members of the imperial family, and An Minning is not sure for a while.

But these are too far away from her, so what if it is the future Emperor Yongzheng, she can still run to hug his thigh and tell him that she knows the future history?
