Chapter 55: Dark Tide

Ye Xiaoman put away his naughty smile and told the truth: "Mother, this cloth is dyed to give away." ”

Giving away? Aunt Ye felt even more strange.

"Who are you going to give?"

"Mrs. County Officer."

Aunt Ye immediately did not object.

"It's such a good cloth to send to the county official's wife, she is a model for our women."

"Who are the role models?" Father Ye put away the farm tools, listened to it, and asked.

"The county magistrate's wife."

Father Ye nodded and said approvingly: "That person is indeed worthy of being a model for women." ”

Listening to Aunt Ye and Father Ye's praise, Qi Shan, who put down his food, wondered: "Why do you say that she is a model?" What is a role model? ”

Qi Ye, who got out of the private school, heard his younger brother ask and explained: "A model is a person who everyone wants to emulate, I told you yesterday the meaning of the word imitation, you can talk about it." ”

Qi Shan scratched his ears and cheeks, and cast a look at Ye Xiaoman for help.

Ye Xiaoman turned his head and pretended not to see.

Wei Mian lowered his head and focused on applying the wax layer; Bai Qiu went to fetch water and slipped away.

"Emulate is, that is" Qi Shan thought hard, stammering and unable to explain.

"It means to imitate, to imitate." Tao Ran, who came back from the town, just entered the door and relieved Qishan.

Qi Shan cast a grateful glance at him, smiled indeed, and then said: "I have been running around the town for the past two days, and I have heard many deeds of Mrs. Yu, and she is indeed a very outstanding lady. ”

Listening to them praising Mrs. Yu one by one, Ye Xiaoman was very unimpressed.

The reason why this Mrs. Yu is praised by everyone is not because of how much she has contributed to the people, but because she can marry and have children!

Mrs. Yu was born in the Yu family, one of the four major families in Qiandeng Town, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and has been married six times since she was married, with twelve husbands before and after, and gave birth to eight children to the four most prestigious families in Qiandeng Town.

Yes, the four major families, including her own maiden family. She has a daughter with her cousin and a son with her cousin. The two children were born with deficiencies, the girl was stupid, and the boy was a medicine jar.

The world praises Yu's informality, benefiting men, and being a brave mother, and she is a strange woman today.

But Ye Xiaoman felt that the Yu family was very pathetic, obviously from an extraordinary background, but he could only move around among men all day long, and he seemed to be living well, but in fact, except for food and clothing, there may not be much freedom, just like an expensive piece of porcelain.

Tao Ran saw Ye Xiaoman dyeing the cloth, and said to her: "Xiaoman, the purchasing housekeeper in the county government is impatient today, and I am limited to bring the cloth tomorrow, if Mrs. Yu doesn't like it, I won't be allowed to go again." ”

"Don't worry, I specially dyed silk cloth, and Mrs. Zhun Baoyu can see it."

"I believe in you." Tao Ran said to Ye Xiaoman affectionately.

Ye Xiaoman resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and thought: Tao Ran has run away from the wild outside, and he has even learned to show off his style. If he was as beautiful as Wei Mian, he would still be attractive if he was showing off, but he would have a Sven face, just showing off, and he would have no style.

Qi Ye glanced at Tao Ran, blocked Ye Xiaoman's sight without a trace, and beckoned everyone to eat.

Tao Ran noticed it and became vigilant.

Among the five boys, Qi Shanxiao, Wei Mianniang, and Bai Qiu were honest, he thought that he wanted to win Ye Xiaoman's heart, and his opponent was Su Changqing. Now it seems that the biggest opponent is Qi Ye, who is close to the water.

He remembered what Qi Ye had said that night, and was sure that Qi Ye also had the heart to compete for favor.

Hmph, pretending to be a big brother all day long, in fact, I wish there were no of them. Tao Ran thought to himself.
