In fact, Chen Ao is shameless. The Guanyin statue is a little vigorous. It is obviously a woman who made it. How could an ordinary woman give her portrait? I believe the person who painted it is in the Zhou Mansion, either by his wife or by Miss Zhou. He pretended not to know and boasted about it, and his wife would definitely like it.

As Chen Ao expected, the lady smiled and said, "This is what Ruoer painted, and it is rare that you like it too."

Ruoer is Miss Zhou. Her biological daughter was praised for her good paintings, and she was both proud and relieved to be a mother. From beginning to end, the lady felt that Chen Ao had a sweet mouth, and she was not as deliberate as ordinary people, as if everything was inspired by the heart, which was very comfortable.

"This child doesn't look like an ordinary person. It seems that he has read a lot of books." The lady felt that the benefits of being arrogant were many, and she became more kind to him.

Chen Ao finished admiring the painting and said, "Look for a day, I will also draw a Guanyin for my wife. Madam, see which one of my ladies and I can draw well."

The lady repeatedly said yes, so she asked Chen Ao's family background. In her opinion, a person like Chen Ao who is well-educated should not enter the mansion to be a servant. I think there must be a reason.

Chen Ao opened his eyes and told lies, and the stories he made up were full of emotions. He said that he was a scholar and his family was still well-off. Later, his father passed away and was bullied by his relatives in the clan. His mother couldn't stand it and died soon after.

When the lady heard this, tears flashed in her eyes. The woman was soft-hearted and could not hear such tragedy the most, and she felt a little more sympathetic to Chen Ao.

Chen Ao continued to talk nonsense, saying that his parents were gone and the world was in a bad state. He had suffered all the eyes of his uncle and uncle, so he had to wander to Bianjing.

After arriving in Bianjing, how did he beg or be bullied? Finally, he signed a contract to sell his body and entered the Zhou Mansion.

The lady sighed and comforted her: "You entered the Zhou Mansion, this is the fate mentioned by the Buddha. No one will bully you again in the future." As she said that, she looked at Chen Ao's appearance of "trying to be strong as possible", she couldn't help but fall in love with her.

Chen Ao hurriedly said, "When God is about to give a great responsibility to this person, he must first hurt his mind and his muscles and bones. With these experiences, I realized that although the world is dark, it always has a shining color. I also cherish everything now."

The lady nodded repeatedly and said to herself: "It turns out that this child is so miserable. You can't treat him slowly in the future. His family background is good, and you can't treat him as a slave." She said: "You are not wrong. Heng'er has never suffered any hardship since she was a child. Now she is still a child's temper. I really don't know when she will be more sensible."

Chen Ao said: "Young Master Zhou is a little playful, but his original intention is very good. With such a kind mother protecting him, you will always be a little bitch."

At this time, Chun'er came with a pastry, and his wife called Chen Ao. Chen Ao was not polite, so she picked up a piece of candied cake and stuffed it into her mouth, swallowing it voraciously, and her eating look was a bit ugly. The wife didn't care, but laughed: "Eat slowly. If you like it in the future, I will teach the kitchen to send some daily."

After saying that, he taught someone to hand over tea to Chen Ao, and Chen Ao swallowed the tea. The lady thought about it and remembered something, and asked Chen Ao: "How does Master Zhao treat you?"

When the wife mentioned Chief Zhao, Chun'er was a little embarrassed. She didn't understand why Brother Shen asked her to say those words to her, and she didn't understand why she clearly had "arranged" Brother Shen. The wife was more enthusiastic about Chen Ao and was a little neglected to Chief Zhao.

Chen Ao put down the teacup and answered sincerely: "Zhao is very good at serving. Although he robbed his nephew of his nephew when he was a child, I can see that this person is very kind and will not have a rift with me."

The lady nodded, and her eyes were very interesting and looked at Chen Ao deeply.

Chief Zhao instigated the girl to arrange Chen Ao, but Chen Ao said that Chief Zhao was very good, and the two of them were judged by their words and deeds. The wife thought to herself: "This silly child really doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister." She said in her mouth: "That's good. If you have any future, you will come to me and tell me that I will make the decision for you."

Chen Ao agreed shamelessly. The two had a great time talking. Chen Ao was a man who had a lot of knowledge and told his wife some jokes about the background of his past life. The wife couldn't even let go of her last bit of reserve, and she smiled unhappy.

Soon after, a man came in, wearing a light straw raincoat and a straw hat, and asked, "What is my mother laughing at?"

Chen Ao glanced at him and saw Miss Zhou taking off her straw raincoat with the help of the girl. Because she was wearing this heavy object, she was not wearing a dress inside, and her clothes were narrow, highlighting her beautiful figure.

It turned out that it was already raining outside at this moment. Miss Zhou had a single name, Ruo. She originally looked at her mother smiling, but the light from the corner of her eyes fell on Shen Ao, her brows frowned slightly, and her goose-like face suddenly became cold.

Chen Ao felt that Miss Zhou didn't seem to welcome him, and he didn't know why he was so bad in Miss Zhou's impression. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and said to Zhou Ruo: "Hello Miss Zhou."

"Yes." Miss Zhou accompanied her mother with a cold face.

Seeing this, the lady smiled and said to Miss Zhou, "Ruoer, don't be disrespectful."

Miss Zhou was originally ignorant of Chen Ao, but at most she was just a little uncomfortable. It was obvious that her mother protected this hippie boy, and her eyes looked at Chen Ao with a little disdain.

Seeing that the lady was cold, she smiled and said, "Where did Ruoer go today? The heavy rain really made Wei Mom worry."

Miss Zhou's eyes turned red, and a cloud of tears was about to emerge, like pear blossoms coming out of water, and she whispered: "Mother, I'm going to see Miss Liu, she's so pitiful."

The lady sighed: "This is a lucky number. If her father did not commit any trouble, why would he fall into this place?"

Miss Zhou bit her teeth and said, "What does her father have to do with her if he committed a crime? Even if he entered the Jiaofang, the people in the Jiaofang Department would be too disgusting. If they hadn't done such a thing, how could Miss Liu be so careless?"

Chen Ao listened on the side and finally learned some of the whole story. It turned out that a friend of Miss Zhou was used as an official prostitute because of her father's crime. The so-called Jiaofang is the management place of official prostitutes. Unexpectedly, the officials of Jiaofang conspired with the unscrupulous merchants to send some beautiful women to brothels for training. This was originally a hidden rule, but it was a bit like the meaning of empty salary in the army. To put it bluntly, the official prostitutes made no money to make money, so some private prostitutes sent some money to handle some of them and then sent some official prostitutes to brothels. In this way, the people of Jiaofangsi got benefits and brothels could also make more profits.

This Miss Zhao is a strong man. She didn't know what insult she suffered when she entered the brothel, so she hanged her.

No one cares about this kind of thing. Even the Duke of the State would never stand up for her. After all, her father was an official, and speaking for her could easily remind people of politics and become the target of attacks by political enemies.

At this time, the Neo-Confucianism of Cheng and Zhu has not yet been passed down, and some customs have inherited some Tang styles, and women do not have many taboos.

Today, when Ms. Zhou heard the bad news, she went out early in the morning to see Ms. Zhao off for her last journey.

Ms. Zhou said: "That boss of Zuiyunlou is really hateful. She forced Miss Zhao to death and refused to pay for the funeral. Mother, such a profiteer should be treated."

The lady smiled and said, "No businessman is not a businessman. Our family background is not as good as ordinary people. Why do you want to treat a madam? You have been staying in the mansion these days, don't worry about these things."

Zhou Ruoman nodded reluctantly.
