who knows how to cross

The capital city in the afternoon, under a warm sun, is as lazy as a kitten.

Antique wooden houses stretch along the street. Occasionally, wealthy sons and nobles in brocade clothes pass by on horseback, and there are also officials and rich merchants passing by in sedan chairs of different specifications carried by servants or bearers.

There are many shops and vendors gather here, but it has the taste of a modern commercial street.

Standing in the middle of the street, Chu Xunxi always felt that she was very lonely and out of tune with the pattern here.

"Sir, please, let me go, don't sell me to a brothel, I am your wife!"

At the door of a building with the Chinese characters "修红楼" hanging on the door of a house, a plainly dressed and handsome woman was talking to a man in rough clothes not far away, while trying to break free from the hands of the two big men who were pulling her into the building. come out.

The man she called her father-in-law gathered up his clothes, and the next words made the woman completely give up.

"You know, I owe gambling debts. If I don't sell you, I won't have the money to repay the gambling debts. They will kill me. Besides, you are worth 50 taels."

Hearing this, the woman stopped struggling and let the two big men pull her in, but just before she was about to go in, she said softly, "It turns out that I worked hard to manage the family for half my life, not seeking wealth or Rongda, In the end, however, it's worth 50 taels, 50 taels, hehehe, hehehe..."

"Oh, what a crime!"

A white-haired old man in the crowd said regretfully.

The onlookers all wanted to watch the fun, so they hurriedly answered after hearing the old man's words, "Old man, do you know him?"

"This woman is my neighbor, and she is virtuous on weekdays. Earlier, the boy of this family was beaten and bedridden because of debts. It was his wife who waited by the bedside for a month. It's a pity that this girl married such a short-sighted person!"

The man took a bag thrown by the big man, and immediately grinned. He paid off his gambling debts with the money, and the rest of the money could go to those poor people's homes to buy a better-looking lady.

The man shook his purse and strode away without looking back.

Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the crowd also dispersed.

On such an ordinary day, some people will have an extra chat on the dinner table that can be shared with their families. I don’t know if there will be someone who grieves for the woman. Her life will be ruined on such an ordinary day. up.

The scene in front of him reminded Chu Xunxi of a fact—although this was an empty dynasty, women had no status just like in ancient China, and they couldn't come out to show their faces, let alone work to support themselves.Born in a poor family, you will either be a servant girl or sold as a concubine, or marry a rough man and work hard all your life. Born in a rich family or even the royal family is mostly used as a tool for family members to exchange benefits.

Even for those women with family members, the situation is even worse for her, Chu Xunxi, a woman who traveled alone from another world. She has no friends and no family members. If she wants to survive, she must find a job, and she must not be a woman. Show people.

When it comes to survival, she still has lingering fears.

Just as she was putting on the last piece of clothing for the woman, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside, and she ran to the door to take a peek. A group of officers and soldiers were fighting with the men in black in the hall, and those officers and soldiers had already occupied the place. Shangfeng, even the man who threatened her with a knife was killed on the ground.Looking back at the position of the bed, Chu Xunxi immediately made a decision to run away.Those officers and soldiers must have come to save the woman. She absolutely believed that after the woman was saved, she would definitely be able to do it. If she didn't listen to her explanation, someone would kill her with a knife.

I don't know if it was God's pity, but she ran all the way and didn't meet anyone blocking her. She escaped from a small hole very smoothly.

Jia Yao Zhai, Chu Xunxi stopped and looked up at these three words. She had heard the name Jia Yao Zhai countless times on this street.Why is it the largest restaurant in the whole capital, why all the dignitaries in the whole capital like to patronize Jia Yao Zhai.What Jiayao Zhai has a wonderful boss.

"Boss..." Stepping into the door, Chu Xunxi looked at a man in silk and satin, saw the words "Jia Yao Zhai" embroidered on his chest with gold thread, and thought that he might be the boss.

Unexpectedly, the man shook his head repeatedly, "I'm just a servant, not the boss." He looked up and down the ragged Chu Xunxi, and there was no disgust in his eyes. Instead, he smiled and said, "You are here to choose Mr. Accountant." Right, the boss is there, he pointed to a door, "Exit that door, the first room on the left."

Hearing this, Chu Xunxi secretly exclaimed in his heart, Jia Yao Zhai is indeed the largest restaurant in the whole capital, but even a servant is dressed so decently.And the boss here, don't know what to do?

According to the boy's words, he walked through the small door, only to find that there was a hole inside.Chu Xunxi felt as if he had arrived in the gardens of Suzhou in an instant, the hollowed-out buildings with rockery stone bridges and the pavilions in front of him, and Chu Xunxi almost wondered if he had crossed again.

Going on, approaching the door that the boy said, only to see several people lined up outside the door, and a person would come out of the door after a while, either sighing or smiling.This feeling is very similar to the modern interview scene.

"next."

Chu Xunxi raised her head and looked around, only to realize that she was the only one left here after being in a daze.

"Next!" The person who spoke seemed a little impatient.

"I'm coming!"

Chu Xunxi responded quickly and walked in quickly.

This is a very luxurious and very modern room.

It is said to be luxurious because some valuable gold and silverware are placed everywhere in this room, which is radiant and shining.

It is modern because there are many sketches hanging on the wall of the room, and there is a very modern desk in the room.A strange feeling arises spontaneously.

Withholding her scrutiny, Chu Xunxi finally realized that she was here to apply for a job, and her interviewer, the big boss, was in the room!Oh her!

His eyes fell on the people in the room. To be precise, there were two people. One was standing upright, which should be the person who spoke before, and the other was sitting at the very modern desk that Chu Xunxi had looked at just now, but he was With his back to Chu Xunxi, so that Chu Xunxi could only look at the back of his head and the dark green jade crown exposed on top of his head, this person must be the boss.

"What is Mr. Accountant?"

Chu Xunxi was still staring at the back of the man's head in a daze, when he heard such a sentence suddenly.What is Mr. Accountant, accountant?But wouldn't it be too simple to say that, Chu Xunxi frowned. When I was studying accounting, how did you say those professional terms?What's in and out of the account, profit, loss, what else?

"Then tell me about your talents."

Before Chu Xunxi could sort out Mr. Accountant's question, the interviewer had already changed the question.

"No" After answering these two words, she wanted to cry very much. She could play the piano and guitar, but there was no such thing in ancient times!She can play games, and she is still at the level of a god, but there were no computers in ancient times!

"Who is your idol?"

"Tony Leung!"

Ah, bah, bah, bah, Chu Xunxi wanted to slap herself hard, she forgot, this is ancient times, or fictional, who knows Tony Leung!

Silence, an eerie silence.

Chu Xunxi looked at the motionless back of her head, and her heart turned cold. It was inevitable that she would be rejected, so she should leave on her own.Just moved her foot, but there was a squeak, the interviewer had already turned around with the chair, and the strange feeling arose again, why did that person's demeanor give her the feeling of a domineering president?

Speaking of the boss, Chu Xunxi felt that he must be an uncle in his [-]s or [-]s, but he didn't expect it to be a boy who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was a handsome boy with red lips and white teeth.He was dressed in purple, and there was an air of extravagance between his brows.

"Compared to Tony Leung, I still prefer Xiao Xianrou."

Nani and Chu Xunxi stared at the boss of Jia Yao Zhai with wide-eyed eyes, and their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.

It is a blessing to meet an old friend in a foreign land!
