Chapter 1196 Being Admired
Chapter 1196 Being Admired
The caravan continued to move forward in an orderly manner, as if everything was as calm as usual.
However, the fact is not that simple - Ye Zifen said before that everyone should walk, but there was no carriage arranged in advance for everyone to use.
After all, where can we find suitable transportation during this long journey?
Even when facing these half-grown children who signed the contract, Ye Zifen did not feel pity.
But after all, they come from the same village, and the adults in the village will still try their best to provide some care during the journey.
For example, they took the initiative to help the children carry heavy burdens; during the night break, they placed several children in the center of the team, which not only allowed the children to feel warm, but also had a certain protective effect.
And in this caravan, there is another unique character that attracts everyone's attention.
This person is Luo Ming who sold himself to Ye Zifen.
Since the caravan set off, he has always followed Ye Zifen closely, busy and dedicated.
At first, other people in the caravan were very curious about Luo Ming being so attentive around Zi Zifen, but when they learned that Luo Ming had sold himself to Zi Zifen, they suddenly understood and understood.
They discussed it privately.
A: "" It has been a long time since Zhang Gaoyi left his hometown and went to sea. There is no news yet. He does not know whether he is alive or dead, nor when he will return. However, will Miss Ye change her mind so quickly? After all, that man was older and had an extremely ordinary appearance. His face was full of flattery and he had no chivalrous heart at all. In comparison, Zhang Gaoyi and him are simply worlds apart!
B "I think it's impossible. Even those of us would feel ashamed standing in front of Miss Ye, let alone such a person! How could Miss Ye fall in love with him? Maybe that person has some use for her Bar."
C: "I think that boy is very annoying. How about we deal with him privately."
B: "I see that Miss Ye doesn't seem to have a good attitude toward that person. Maybe we are different. Let's see."
......
Ma Fengchun looked at the man and felt very uncomfortable.
Although he didn't know whether his nephew could return safely, the two children did fall in love with each other in the past and even had the idea of further development.
Now...he really doesn't want to ask Ye Zifen about this, as if doing so would be doubting her.
Besides, in what capacity did he question Ye Zifen? The two children never made their relationship public.
Besides, doesn’t Miss Ye still have to observe filial piety?
Thinking of this, Ma Fengchun's heart returned to his stomach.
However, Ye Zifen had not considered these things at this moment.
She ordered Luo Ming with peace of mind, and left all the tasks that required physical strength to him.
At night, he even asked him to accompany her to watch the night.
In just three days, Luo Ming's whole person seemed to have been completely transformed.
At least the timid look on his face and his darting eyes were gone.
Fortunately, Luo Ming was able to fill his stomach with every meal.
Even the able-bodied men in the village were respectful and grateful to the caravan and Ye Zifen for being able to have a full stomach at every meal.
In this special period, people who can fill people's stomachs are as precious as reborn parents.
But they themselves took advantage of others for no reason, and they felt really sorry.
Ye Zifen also felt very guilty, because it was the twelfth lunar month of winter and the land had already frozen and hardened, but they still had to find such hard work for them to do.
It should be a kind of compensation!
Another unusual person is Fang You's wife, Qi.
These days, Mr. Qi has been eating and living with Liu Meng'er. After seeing what she does every day, he has even more admiration for this unmarried little girl.
Liu Meng'er is busy with various trivial chores all day long, and sometimes has to deal with accounts that appear out of nowhere.
I saw her holding a small abacus, fidgeting with it, and her calculation speed was extremely fast.
Sitting on the carriage all day long, there is almost no leisure time.
Qi couldn't help but curiously asked Liu Meng'er: "What is your relationship with that Miss Ye?"
In fact, she had this question when they first met, but she never found the right time to ask.
Seeing Liu Meng'er busy at this moment, he took the opportunity to ask questions.
However, Liu Meng'er did not raise her head, but smiled and replied: "I was just a maid bought by the lady."
Mr. Qi was even more surprised when he heard this and asked: "But from what I have seen, Miss Ye seems to have never treated you as a maid! Her attitude towards you seems to be the same as towards another Miss Ye."
Hearing this, Liu Menger finally slowly raised her head, as if immersed in memories of the past.
After a long time, she looked at Qi with a smile.
Liu Meng'er said with emotion: "Yes, even though I was just a maid bought by the lady in the past, she never treated me as an ordinary maid. I think back then, the lady bought more than 20 of our girls at once, and She sent everyone to the weaving workshop to learn weaving and printing and dyeing skills. Later, when she discovered that I was talented in weaving patterned cloth, she gave me ample freedom to display my talents and even rewarded me with silver coins. Even later, the lady personally taught me a lot of valuable knowledge and skills. Looking back now, I think that people with humble backgrounds like us must have accumulated countless good deeds in our previous lives. "
Qi didn't expect Liu Meng'er to be so eloquent, and her evaluation of Ye Zifen in her heart couldn't help but rise to another level.
She responded: "However, right now, aren't you assisting Miss Ye in handling affairs? As far as I can see, what you are doing is beyond the capabilities of an ordinary housekeeper. It is rare for a woman to have such abilities. Miss Ye should thank you."
Liu Meng'er shook her head slightly and retorted: "You don't understand our young lady's true ability, that's why you said these words."
She continued: "Our lady has a chivalrous heart, which is why we are able to have today's caravan. And our lady's friends are also very capable. She also likes to make friends with people from all walks of life, and she never looks down upon anyone. Qing... She is very smart, and she has experimented with many things bit by bit. "
Qi's eyes grew brighter as she watched Liu Meng'er talk, and suddenly asked: "Then you admire your lady very much, don't you?"
Liu Meng'er said matter-of-factly: "Of course, everyone who has come into contact with our lady admires her very much."
