Mingmen Family

Chapter 22

She rolled her eyes and glanced at Tao Shi and Ye Yaqing.

Everyone in the room agreed in unison, and then left one after another.

After leaving the main courtyard, Mrs. Zhang said with a smile to Mrs. Yin: "Second sister-in-law, Ming'er is really capable, and can do great things like men. It's a pity that she is engaged. Otherwise, her reputation of being capable will spread, and I don't know who How many people begged to come to the door."

When it was over, she raised her chin at Ye Yaming again: "If you have anything to say, just say it, Fourth Aunt supports you."

With that said, she turned around and left with the maid.

Tao Shi felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

Ye Yaqing was half a year older than Ye Yaming. When the old man fell in love with Song Yifeng, he didn't consider Ye Yaqing and directly ordered Ye Yaming to him.The main reason is that Yin's scholar father was Song Yifeng's enlightenment teacher.With this relationship, this marriage sounds better.

Of course, Song Yifeng was nothing at that time, his future was uncertain, and his family was too poor to afford food.Dow didn't like this marriage.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Song Yifeng was admitted to Juren at a young age, with a bright future.

On the contrary, it was Ye Yaqing who picked and picked, and has not yet made an appointment for the marriage.

Now that something happened in the family, the older man couldn't take care of the affairs, but Ye Yaming, the second roomer, suddenly showed up. It seemed that she was useless as the eldest daughter-in-law, and Ye Yaqing was ordinary and mediocre.Tao Shi felt a little unhappy in his heart.

But she is not a fool like Zhang Shi.Ye Yaming can help the family solve the problem and contribute to keep the Ye family. She is still very grateful, and naturally she will not say anything or do anything to Ye Yaming.

Mrs. Zhang also wanted to stir up conflicts between the eldest room and the second room, really overthinking it.

She smiled at Ye Yaming, turned her head to the nanny beside her and said, "From now on, all the servants in the Dafang will obey the order of Miss San. Her orders are my orders."

"Yes."

Hearing the mother-in-law's respectful response, Tao smiled and said to Ye Yaming: "If there is a need, you are welcome, Ming'er, and the servants of the big house are welcome. If there is anyone who is not open-eyed, you send someone to tell me , I will clean them up."

"Thank you, auntie." Ye Yaming said with a smile.

Tao Shi nodded and took the woman away.

Seeing this scene, Yin Shi felt very happy in her heart.

Regardless of what Dow and Zhang have in mind, at least at this moment, they can only say good things to Erfang.

When the daughter is well-raised, she will also look up to her.

She volunteered and said to Ye Yaming: "What do you want to do with sweet-scented osmanthus honey, mother will help you."

"no need."

Ye Yaming saw that there were only their mother, daughter and three confidant maids left here, and leaned into Yin's ear and whispered: "I'm helping the family make a kind of tea, which uses sweet-scented osmanthus. I'm worried that it will be leaked." Get out, that's all Grandma said."

As she spoke, she winked playfully at Yinshi.

Yin Shi was startled, happy but also worried: "Can you do it?"

"Why not? I'm my father's daughter. My father is so powerful, so I'm not bad, okay? My father has important things to do, so I'll make tea this time."

Ye Yaming made a proud expression, which directly made Yin Shi laugh.

"Sister, what do you need us to do for you?" Ye Yayin asked eagerly.

"No need for now." Ye Yaming said, "I'll try it today. I don't need many sweet-scented osmanthus, but I have it in my yard. If it's done, I'll need your help tomorrow or the day after."

"Okay." Ye Yayin said happily.

Originally, Ye Yayin wanted to go and watch.Yin knew that Ye Yaming made tea, and in order to keep it secret, Mrs. Ye didn't even let the women in the family know what Ye Yaming did.

She pulled Ye Yayin: "You don't want to go to school, why join in the fun? Hurry up, the female teacher will come soon."

The reason why Ye Yaming has a particularly good impression of Ye Chongming is that the old gentleman not only sent the boys to school, but also invited the girls to teach them poetry etiquette and related skills such as embroidery.

If the Ye family really fell, the female family members could support themselves by relying on literacy and accounting, or doing embroidery and other crafts, so that they would not fall into despair.

She went back to her yard and directed the maids to pick off the sweet-scented osmanthus from the two sweet-scented osmanthus trees, and remove the stalks, leaves and other sundries.

When she got ready the sweet-scented osmanthus, the stove, the bamboo mat, etc., Ye Chongming had already sent someone to bring over several catties of loose tea.

The loose tea at this time is steamed green tea.Ye Yaming tasted all kinds of tea on the second day of his visit.Due to the production process, the steamed green tea tastes naturally incomparable with the modern fried green tea. The taste is relatively bitter and astringent, and it also feels a little "boring", not fresh enough.

But in ancient times, there was no pollution, and the water, soil, and air quality were all good. Ye’s tea garden was located on a mountain several hundred meters above sea level. The green tea contained more tea polyphenols, and the quality of the green tea was better.

If the tea is fried with the modern stir-frying method, I don't know what it will be like.Ye Yaming is looking forward to it.

"Girl, everything is ready. I have sent out everyone else in the courtyard. What do you think we are going to do?" Bai Rui asked.

She and Lue are Ye Yaming's big maids, they are very loyal and trustworthy.

In the memory of the original owner, the two followed the original owner and married to the Song family, protecting the original owner everywhere.

When the original owner was abused, other dowry servants fell to the Song family one after another. Only these two maids, Lue wanted to escape to deliver a letter to the Ye family, but was beaten to death by Song Yifeng's men; Song's mother found an excuse and sold her to a brothel.She tried to struggle and escape halfway, but was smothered to death on the road.

In order to get rid of the Ye family's marriage, the mother and son of the Song family not only forced the original owner to commit suicide, but also killed the two maids beside the original owner.The other accompanying rooms were also sold one by one.

Ye Yaming felt that no matter how miserable the mother and son of the Song family ended up in this life, they deserved it.

In the wish of the original owner, apart from changing the fate of her and the Ye family, she also hoped that Ye Yaming could treat the two maids well and find them a suitable home.

"You watch me do it. If I succeed, you have to come together." Ye Yaming said while doing it.

She couldn't teach the two ancient women's skills such as embroidery, only this hand-made tea craft and some business methods.With these, when she has the ability, she will give the two some tea fields and restore them to freedom.In this way, no matter whether the two of them are willing to marry or not, they can support themselves with these things, and they don't have to live based on people's faces anymore.

At that time, she will also repay the loyalty of these two servant girls on behalf of the original owner.

She heated the tea leaves first, then spread them on the bamboo mat, and put a layer of sweet-scented osmanthus evenly on top.A layer of tea and a layer of flowers are laid repeatedly to form a pile, and the top layer is covered with tea germ.

At this time, the temperature is slightly cool, Ye Yaming covered the pile of tea with a white cloth to keep the temperature stable and promote the normal fragrance of the flowers.
