After a few people sat down, Ye Yutong smiled and said, "You have been here for a long time, and you should have some understanding of the situation here.
I wonder what you guys think? If you want to stay here, we welcome you.
If you feel uncomfortable here and want to leave, just tell me directly and I will have someone prepare the expenses for you. "
The three of them stood up immediately, and Zhuang Zichen said without any hesitation:
"This place is very good, we all like it very much. Thank you to my benefactor for giving our family a place to stay. Zichen is very grateful.
If my benefactor needs me and Haoran in the future, we will be happy to help. "
Ye Yutong smiled and nodded, motioning for them to sit down, "To tell you the truth, I admire the character of the two young masters very much, and I would like to ask you to help my husband handle some daily chores. I wonder if you two are willing?"
Zhuang Zichen and Su Haoran looked at each other in surprise, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.
Looking at her benefactor's aura, she knew that her husband was certainly not an ordinary person.
Being able to help such a great person is truly a blessing.
Didn't they work so hard to learn and read just so that one day they could stand out and no longer be bullied?
Now that there is such an opportunity in front of them, how could they not be willing?
The two of them solemnly bowed their hands to Ye Yutong, "Thanks to my benefactor for thinking highly of me, I will do whatever I want from now on. I am willing to do my best for my benefactor."
Ye Yutong smiled and said to the two of them: "My husband has been away from home during this period. You two should get acquainted with Mr. Sun first. If you don't understand anything, you can ask him for advice."
Zhuang Zichen and Su Haoran stood up and answered respectfully, "Yes."
Then he bowed his hands to Mr. Sun. "I'm sorry, sir, please give me more advice from now on. If you find something wrong, just scold me. The students will never complain."
Mr. Sun smiled and said, "You two gentlemen are very polite. We are all loyal to the same master. If you have anything you don't understand, just ask and I will tell you everything."
The two said gratefully: "Thank you sir."
Ye Yutong warned the two of them again: "Mr. Sun was specially invited by my husband from Mingyang Academy. His knowledge is admired even by Chief Song of Mingyang Academy.
I didn’t know how many students there were before, and I hope he can give me some pointers. Now that you two have this opportunity, you must seize it. "
Zhuang Zichen and Su Haoran heard that Mr. Sun came from Mingyang Academy, and looked at him with bright eyes.
Mr. Sun looked at the shining eyes of the two people, waved his hands quickly, and said modestly:
"Madam, you are complimenting me. You two must not take it seriously. From now on, when we work together, we still have to ask each other for advice."
Ye Yutong saw the three of them chatting and looked at Su Hong next to them.
This girl grew up in Qingzhou City, helping others wash clothes during the day and embroidering at night. He has a fierce personality and understands the world.
The textile factory has been opened and cannot produce large quantities this year.
Ye Yutong plans to open a shop in Dongyang County and Qingzhou City first. She planned to let Su Hong help manage the cloth village in Dongyang County.
"Miss Su, my cloth shop in Dongyang County still needs a female shopkeeper. Are you interested?"
Su Hong looked at the smiling Ye Yutong and asked in surprise: "Madam, you want me to be the shopkeeper?"
Ye Yutong smiled and nodded, "If you are willing, I will take you to the shop tomorrow to have a look."
Su Hong was happy but also a little hesitant.
She glanced at Zhuang Zichen and her younger brother, and saw both of them looking at her encouragingly.
Su Hong finally plucked up the courage and said, "Madam, thank you for looking up to me. I want to give it a try.
Although I have never made any of these, I used to go to the cloth store to buy rags.
Sometimes I would chat with the shopkeeper and learn a bit about the fabrics. "
Seeing that she was a little unsure, Ye Yutong comforted her, thinking that she was a girl who had just turned fourteen after all:
"Don't worry, Buzhuang hasn't opened yet. You can go to the specialty shop to help for a while, learn how to treat people there, and get familiar with the environment of Dongyang County."
"Yes, ma'am."
Zhuang Zichen hesitated for a moment and asked Ye Yutong, "Madam, does Su Hong come back every day, or does she live in the city?"
This place is still more than ten miles away from Dongyang County. If we go back and forth every day, the road will not be safe.
Ye Yutong smiled and said: "Our shop has a backyard, and Su Hong will live there. If she wants to come back and visit, she just needs to make arrangements for the shop."
Zhuang Zichen was worried that Su Hong would be scared alone, so he asked shamelessly:
"Madam, can my mother come with me? Although her eyesight is not very good, she can still help with some cooking."
Su Haoran also looked at her expectantly.
Ye Yutong knew their concerns and readily agreed, "Okay, if Mrs. Zhuang is willing to go, pack your things tonight and we will set off early tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, madam." The three of them saluted her happily.
Ye Yutong said to everyone: "It's getting late, go back and rest early."
After coming out of the meeting hall, Ye Yutong went directly back to her yard.
The maids had already prepared bath water for her.
Ye Yutong didn't let them wait on him. He went in to wash himself and came out wiping his half-dried hair with a towel.
Lingmei stepped forward, took the handkerchief from her hand, and gently wiped her wet hair.
Linglan took another dry handkerchief and wiped one side of it with Lingmei.
Lingzhu and Lingju were helping her make the bed, while Lingchun and Linghua went to the bathroom to clean up.
Ye Yutong sat there, looking at the six busy maids, and couldn't help but smile.
When she first traveled through time, she was still funny complaining about God's injustice. Let her travel through time and become a poor little village girl.
Now that she really enjoys the service of her servants, she feels that she is not used to it. She is really not destined to be rich and noble.
After drying my hair, the bed was made.
Ye Yutong called the six maids over and expressed her importance to them first.
"You have been following me for two years, and I know you are all good girls.
Although I say that you are my maids to the outside world, I have always regarded you as my own sisters. My mother and Qiaoer also like you very much.
I don’t know if you have any relatives? Now I'll give you a few a chance.
If you want to go home now, I can return the deed of sale to you and give you some food and clothing.
If you have no relatives at home and don’t want to leave, then I will be your relative from now on, and I will support you if you need anything. "
After hearing this, the eyes of the six people were red. Lingmei and Lingju even cried.
Lingmei knelt on the ground with a plop and cried: "Madam, I don't know if my family members are still alive? But even if they are alive, I don't want to go back.
If Brother Lin Jiang hadn't bought me at a high price, I would have been sold to a brothel by my family.
Just to get a few more kilograms of brown rice and noodles, they pushed me into the fire pit. "
Several other maids also briefly talked about the situation at home, but no one chose to go back.
