Chapter 113: Choosing a Servant
"Madame, Madam, little brother, no, has the little young master woken up?" After Chinese New Year's Eve, Feng Li asked Yu Huan to pass a message to the little girl who called Xiaoyi, and since then, every time the little girl finished what she was doing, she would come to the cabin, and sometimes if Feng Heng fell asleep, she would look at Feng Heng a few times with Feng Li's permission; If Feng Heng is awake, she will play with Feng Heng, Feng Heng seems to like her closeness very much, and every time he plays with her, he will be very happy.
Feng Li knew that Xiaoyi didn't have much time to visit Feng Heng, and she had worked hard to squeeze it out by herself.
Such a young child, in order to be able to stay on this ship, in order to take care of her mother, she did all the chores in the ship, washing vegetables, washing clothes, mopping the floor, wiping the boat...... No matter how dirty and tiring things are, she will do them all and do them well.
And in such a situation, she would come to see Feng Heng every day, and when her sister died, she was as big as Feng Heng.
Obviously the little meaning is clear, Feng Li can completely change her life, but when she comes to see Feng Heng every day, she only smiles sweetly with Feng Li and asks a few words, and when she leaves, she also retreats politely, she has no flattery or flattery to Feng Li, and she only wants to get it by her own efforts, not the pity of others.
"Master, Erniu's kid, born with divine power, was originally my sister's son, after my sister went, he has been by my side, and over the years, he has also taught him some martial arts." The honest man stood in front of Feng Li with a boy about ten years old, and kicked the dumb boy next to him, and the boy was kicked and grinned. But he also stepped forward and called Mrs. to Feng Li.
didn't think about it, but when the honest man heard it, he greeted him with a slap. "What is the name of the lady, the master!"
was kicked and beaten one after another, and the boy covered his head in pain, but he still honestly followed the man and called the master.
A few girls were so amused by this nephew that they covered their mouths and laughed, Feng Li, and said to the honest man: "Meng Jie, are you going to recommend yourself?" ”
The honest man Meng Jie was still smiling. "You can't hide anything from your master! The master has been testing the petty girl for the past few days, and he must have started to choose a servant for the little master. The girl has to think about taking care of the little master, and she thinks about it in addition to taking care of the little master. The little master also needs to be protected. In the next life, thanks to meeting the master. Erniu, this kid is okay to look at, so I want to bring it for the master to take a look. ”
Feng Li nodded. Meng Jie could see that she was going to choose someone for Feng Heng. She wasn't surprised that the people below were able to detect her intentions from the subtleties she did, and that was just a normal thing for them.
"Literate?" Feng Li sat on the chair and talked to the boy who was busy grinning, the boy was stunned for a moment, and said a little dazedly: "I only learned a few words from my uncle." Many, I don't recognize. ”
"I don't know much now. But it doesn't hurt. Meng Jie, I will stay first, but whether to stay by Ah Heng's side or not depends on himself! Feng Li can understand Meng Jie's intentions, but her son, she never wants to treat her badly, and the loyalty of those who stay by his side is the most important thing.
Of course Meng Jie understood, and said with a smile: "Master rest assured, Lao Meng has followed the master for so many years, and the master has never treated me badly. ”
Feng Li can leave people behind, which is to give him face, but also to give his nephew a chance, next to the matter, no matter how much he talks about things, it is more courtesy.
"Erniu is not an official name, what is his surname, how about I give him a name?" Speaking wisely means that you don't need to make much effort, you can stop when you click, and you don't hurt your anger. Meng Jie, she is always the right person under her, and she is willing to give him what should be given.
"Very good, very good, the master can name him, that is very good! I'm not a talented person, his name was given by his father, I took him on the boat, and I also wanted to change his name, but after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a good name, so I had to keep screaming. Erniu, Erniu's surname is Zhao. Meng Jie nodded one after another, and the boy raised his head, "Master, I want to be my mother and my uncle's surname!" I don't have the surname Zhao! ”
Such a sentence suddenly appeared, Meng Jie was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it again, he was about to slap him again, "Didn't I tell you, no matter how much you hate him, you can't deny him, why are you disobedient!" ”
"Second uncle, he killed my mother, he is not my father, I don't want to have his surname, don't!" The boy stubbornly raised his head and shouted out what was in his heart, Meng Jie, when he heard this, he wanted to refute it, but he couldn't say anything, he sighed faintly, and sighed sadly.
Feng Li smiled and said: "Whether the surname is Meng or Zhao, he is your nephew, so what does it matter." Qiao Song, from today on, you will be called Qiao Song, the mountain has Fusu, and Xi has Hehua. I don't see the son, but I see madness. There are Qiao pine in the mountain, there is a swimming dragon in the Xi, and I don't see Zichong, but I see a cunning child. May you be like a green pine standing upright on a mountain, beaten by the wind and rain, standing tenaciously and proudly, and unswervingly loyal. ”
"Thank you for the name!" Meng Jie hurriedly pulled Qiao Song, who had just got his name, to kneel down and snort, Feng Li looked at it with a smile, "From tomorrow, you will go to the cabin to serve, Ah Heng is still young now, I will let someone teach you to read and write, and when he is older, you will be together again." ”
"Yes, I obey the master's arrangement!" Meng Jie's mouth was a little unstraight, and his words were a little dry. Feng left the bell and laughed and let them go down.
And let Qiao Song stay, on the second day, Feng Li asked people to bring Xiaoyi with him, and said straight to the point: "Are you willing to stay by Ah Heng's side to serve him, take care of him, and not let anyone bully him?" ”
Xiaoyi was a little stunned, Feng Li said: "If you agree, then in the future, he will be your master, although you don't have to do the rough work like now, but your life has not been easy, you have to protect him, loyal to him, but if there is a trace of dissent, you can't stay." ”
It can be said that Xiaoyi was completely blinded by the fact that the wontons fell from the sky, and looked at Feng Li blankly, "Madam, are you telling the truth?" ”
"Yes, I will let you take care of Ah Heng, and I will settle down with your mother, not to mention that she will be treated with fine clothes and food, as long as she is willing to do it, it is inevitable that she will have no worries about food and clothing." Fengli has already seen through the weakness of Xiaoyi, a filial person is always more reassuring than an unfilial person.
"I, I do! Madam, I will definitely take good care of the little master, I will remember your words, take care of the little master with my heart, and be good to him! Xiao Yi knelt down and snorted, originally, after the ship docked, she and her mother had nowhere to go, but now, since Feng Li asked her to stay and take care of Feng Heng, she no longer has to worry about being displaced.
"Madame's great kindness, I will never forget!" Such a stubborn and self-reliant girl, with tears in her eyes at this time, still unwilling to show weakness in front of others, secretly swore that she must, will definitely take care of the little young master, and will definitely not live up to Fengli's trust.
Feng Li said: "I have written down everything you said, and you must also remember what you said." ”
Here two people were selected for Feng Heng, and Yu Qing was skeptical of these two people, "Why is the master so anxious to choose a servant for the little master?" The little master is still young now, and if he really wants to choose, he should also choose the older one, so that he can take better care of the little master. ”
Shaking his head, Feng Li said: "It's not an intentional choice, it's just that when Xiaoyi first saw Ah Heng, she obviously wanted to be close to Ah Heng, but such a young child knew how to warm her hands before touching Ah Heng, which shows that she is a careful and considerate person who knows how to take care of children." Qiao Song is Meng Jie's nephew, it looks really good at first glance, leave him as a guard for Ah Heng, and when Ah Heng is older, he will be able to use it. ”
"After accepting the two of them, they have to be trained hard before they can be used, why doesn't the master directly transfer two people to the Feng family?" Yu Qing asked the question in his heart, and Feng Li replied: "The Feng family is too chaotic now, and no one is sure if there will be any problems with the people who have been transferred." In this way, I would rather put some effort into training, and I would also use a loyal and unmistakable person to take care of Ah Heng. ”
Hearing this, where do you still not understand why Feng Li suddenly chose someone, in the final analysis, it is indeed Feng Heng who is too small, if someone with ulterior motives approaches Feng Heng, Feng Heng is not a normal child, if something really happens to this, it will hurt Feng Heng too much, so they can't afford to gamble, and they don't dare to bet. Loyalty is the rarest thing, but it's what they need most right now.
When the ship stopped at the wharf of Dali in Yunnan, it was already the tenth day of the first month, the climate in Yunnan was much more comfortable than Beijing, and it was much more comfortable when it was close to Yunnan.
"Master!" Yu Ran took a hat and put it on Feng Li's head, Feng Li picked up Feng Heng, and then stepped on the footboard, Meng Jie took the boat full of people, and respectfully sent Feng Li and the others off the boat. Unlike when he only brought four maids on the boat, this time there was one more Qiao Song, a little careless.
"I've worked hard for you all the way, and this is the master's reward for your wages." After Yu Qing broke at the end, he took a bag of silver and handed it to Meng Jie, Meng Jie took it, and said with a smile: "I bother Miss Yu Qing to thank her master." ”
"Okay, Brother Meng, the master's reward for you is yours. For the New Year, I want you to go out on the boat, and I'm afraid there are a lot of grievances in this house! Yu Qing squeezed his eyebrows at Meng Jie for a while, very funny, Meng Jie laughed, "Yes, Miss Yu Qing, what does the master have to order, you just send a letter with me, I will definitely do the things that the master has explained, and it will be done." ”
"Dele, Brother Meng has gone all the way, you really have to help your master handle this matter on the sea!" Yu Qing waved to Meng Jie in a hearty manner, Meng Jie nodded his head and said: "The matter at sea, that is my old Meng's eating skills, Miss Yu Qing can rest assured." ”
After Yu Qing and Meng Jie exchanged pleasantries for a while, they said goodbye to Meng Jie. When catching up with Feng Li and his party, Yu Ran asked unhappily: "Why hasn't the person who said he was coming to pick up the master have arrived yet?" ”
Saying this, Yu Qing noticed that when they got to the dock, there was really no one to pick them up! (To be continued......)
