Chapter 1094: Famine, Natural Disasters 251

Zhou Ting turned his gaze to look at Mingyi.

Mingyi looked at the mother and daughter before saying: "It's good that you have this heart, it's right for a woman to rely on her family at home and her husband to get married; However, as a girl, we can rely on others, but we can't be without the ability to survive on our own, what do you think, Mrs. Wan? ”

Mrs. Wan's eyes were deeply touched, no one had said these words to her, this was not as old as a little girl; While she was ashamed, she was deeply touched by Mingyi's words.

She couldn't support herself and her daughter, and she relied on General Kobayashi's kindness to have a few days of stable life, without a shortage of food and drink; However, they also brought trouble to General Kobayashi, and made General Kobayashi's marriage many twists and turns.

"What Cheng Xiaoniang said is extremely true, a girl can rely on others, but she can't be without the ability to survive." Mrs. Wan looked up at Zhou Ting, only to glance and lowered her eyelids to make a respectful gesture, "Lord Shizi, the people's mother and daughter have brought a lot of trouble to General Xiaolin, and it is the fault of the people's mother, mother and daughter that have made General Xiaolin's family unhappy. ”

At this moment, she generously admitted her guilt, no longer avoided, no longer self-pity.

When she found her, she had been tormented by the guilt in her heart for a long time, and if it weren't for this guilt, she might not have chosen to come out and work; It's not that she doesn't want to work, but the Daxi Dynasty is harsh on women, and she is a widow with a daughter working outside, not only her, but her daughter's reputation will not be good.

"It's not right or wrong, it's just a mistake." Zhou Ting waved his hand, his eyes only staring at Mingyi.

Mingyi nodded, "The war has deprived you of a husband and father you can rely on, and I have heard the deeds of General Kobayashi; General Kobayashi is kind and willing to raise you, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just that you are not related to each other, but thousands of households are subordinates of General Kobayashi, and he rashly took you in, and it is okay in a short time. After a long time, it is inevitable that people will think a lot, you are all right, but the current situation has created it. ”

As soon as the words fell, Mingyi saw a tear drip on the back of Mrs. Wan's hand, and sighed silently.

The Daxi Dynasty was strict with women, making it difficult for them to move forward, especially women who lost their husbands and were unwilling to remarry.

It's okay that the in-laws are kind, but the fierceness and stinginess of the in-laws are the most chilling.

"Thank you for the prince, thank you for the relief." Mrs. Wan still felt that she was at fault, but she no longer secretly hid it and did not dare to face it; It's okay when you forget, but it's the most worrying when you think about it from time to time.

Man has the ability to forget, however, this ability is not hypnotic, not omnipotent; Those guilty memories would always inadvertently run out to remind her that she had made the wrong choice.

A psychologically strong person is able to face and can self-regulate; A person who is psychologically fragile is very prone to mental problems.

Mingyi nodded, "I won't say much else, if you are willing to work here with me, when my shop opens, you will need to do a lot of things, and it will be very tiring, you can think about it carefully and then give me an answer." ”

"I do!"

Mrs. Wan nodded hurriedly, for fear of missing it, "It's just that I want to take my daughter, Cheng Xiaoniang, my daughter is very well-behaved; She is very capable, she can do laundry, sweep the floor, cook, and do some housework. ”

"I understand your plight, and your daughter lives with you; There is a small courtyard behind this shop, and there will be workers living in it one after another, you and your daughter can choose one to live in first, and the master bedroom will not be moved. ”

"Okay, thank you little lady Cheng, thank you so much; I'll do a good job and I won't let you down. "There is a job, as long as it is a regular business, she is willing.

It is good to live well in General Kobayashi's yard, without worrying about food and clothing, and live a leisurely life; However, he had no money in his hand, and his waist could not be straightened.

Seeing that her daughter is getting older day by day, she can't live on General Kobayashi's alms, and people give alms for a year or two; Can you still give your daughter a dowry? She is not General Kobayashi's person, and people pity their mother and daughter for food.

With a full-time business, she was able to save money for her daughter's dowry.

Even if there is a loss in reputation and a little more dowry, the daughter can find a good family.

"Well, then I'll give you the key, and you can move into the backyard now; In the future, the prince will arrange for someone to come over to renovate the shop, and you can help keep an eye on it. By the way, you haven't been a shopkeeper, follow the people of the prince to learn hard, don't require you to do everything at the beginning, take your time, and take charge as soon as possible. ”

Mrs. Wan listened quietly, holding Mingyi's words in her heart, not daring or forgetting.

"The women remember, they must study hard."

"Hmm." After arranging the mother and daughter, Mingyi handed a purse to Mrs. Wan, "The inside is for you to live temporarily, someone has come to help rebuild the shop, and I have to trouble you to prepare some soup to quench your thirst; If you don't have enough money to come to the palace to deliver messages, I will live in the palace during this time, and I will tell you in advance if I have other arrangements. ”

"The women of the people understand."

Mrs. Wan respectfully and solemnly took the purse, a small bag, a little heavy.

"That's it, you guys move." Mingyi shook his hand and was about to leave.

Zhou Ting grabbed her little paw in time and said, "No, you stay to help, and when you're done, go and bring back the roasted whole lamb and steak." ”

Mingyi begged him, and Zhou Ting smiled slightly; It's funny in my heart, none of the things this person promised have been left behind, and he promised to let her have roast whole sheep to eat every day, so I don't buy it every day.

Walking out of the shop, Zhou Ting had one less person around him, and he didn't delay them shopping.

The next time is arranged by Mingyi, and Zhou Ting will go wherever she wants; When I returned home, I carried a large bag and a lot of things.

Return to Tao Yee Yuan.

Mingyi lay down on the chaise longue, uncomfortable and didn't want to move.

"Yiyi, I can't finish eating so many pastries, but I want to send some to your house?" Zhou Ting sat beside her with a smile and glanced at the place where the guards carried things into the house.

Along the way, Mingyi was often on a whim, and she didn't necessarily want to eat it when she bought it, she just wanted to buy it.

"Sort out a copy and send it to the princess; The princess was so kind to me, she sent me things several times, and I didn't have anything to give, so I asked the princess to try the pastries, which is a little bit of my heart. Keep another one for us to eat, and the rest of the pastries will have to be sent to my house by your people. ”

Zhou Ting smiled heartily, "It's okay to say a word." ”

His sweetheart was worried about his mother, and he was happy that they could get along well.

The mother concubine is a sensible person, and she is also enlightened; He was grateful for being willing to be kind to the girl he fancied.

The girl in her heart is also willing to be good to her mother and miss her mother's goodness; It is good to have contacts for a long time, and he looks at all people because he is grateful to all people, and he doesn't blame him for liking them.

When the guards brought all the things, Zhou Ting personally went to divide the pastry into three parts; There were several strings of sugar gourds, and he also divided two of them and put them into the things he prepared for his mother.
