Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1387 Famine and Natural Disaster 545
Mingyi talked to her a lot and learned about the changes in the city over the past five years. She wanted to tell her more about the situation outside.

After a long chat, Mingyi sorted out the changes in the capital and the addition of several new clan dignitaries; while Nanny Zhao learned a lot about the changes in the outside world. Thanks to the efforts of her master and the prince, the northwest was becoming better and better.

"Master, I have heard about you and the prince in Fucheng. You have done a great job and I respect you very much. The whole northwest has not changed for many years. With your appearance, the northwest has developed differently and everything is thriving. But it is hard for me to imagine how old you were when you did these things. You actually did things that benefit all living beings that others could not do in their entire lives."

Mingyi looked at Zhao Ma's sincerity and felt ashamed. "Zhao Ma, please don't praise me like that in the future. I just did what I thought I should do. Besides, it's not just my achievement. Teacher, Rong Ma, and the people sent by the princess later, they are the ones who have made great contributions."

Many times, I just gave orders but never did anything myself.

The more she said this, the more respect Zhao Ma became.

"You are the one at the helm. Without your leadership, it would not be easy for everyone to achieve such a good result. You should not deny your own achievements. I once heard the princess say that there is no shortage of people who can do things in this world, but there is a shortage of people who can control the overall situation."

Mingyi chuckled, "Madam Zhao, I don't care, why are you reacting so strongly?"

"This servant is for you."

She had a serious look on her face, her eyes full of seriousness, and she stubbornly believed that her master was the best woman.

In the entire northwest, no woman could compare to her master; when the princess sent her here, she felt relieved and determined to serve her new master well. Leaving the big house and coming to a small family, it turned out that she came to this small family to enjoy herself.

The master was a kind person, and his style of doing things was open and generous, which she had never seen in the princess. She was even more convinced by his frankness and generosity.

"Okay, okay, I know Aunt Zhao did this for me." Ming Yi laughed heartily, "But you can't say this outside. Be low-key and humble."

"I will obey the master's orders."

Having understood what she needed to understand and said what she needed to say, Mingyi sent Zhao Ma and Chunmei away. After they left, she divided the silver bills into two parts. She put ten thousand taels into the space and looked for a chance to exchange them for gold. The other several thousand taels of silver bills were put into a makeup box, and these were kept out in the open for future use.

She stayed at home for three days. She looked at her grandfather who seemed to be hesitant to speak every day. Her parents always wanted to find out what she thought. Even her brother was worried about her marriage.

She reluctantly said goodbye to her family and went to the provincial capital. If she stayed at home any longer, her family would only be more worried when they saw her.

After leaving home, she took Chunmei and Nanny Zhao and did not go to the prince's palace, but to a two-courtyard house purchased in the city. The house was bought by Nanny Zhao and was close to the noble area of ​​the prince's palace. It could not be bought without some connections.

"Master, do you like this house? If not, we can find a chance to change to another one." Nanny Zhao led them into the yard. There was no one else in the yard and there were a few fallen leaves around. Overall, it was still good, at least someone came to clean it regularly.

There is a screen wall at the entrance of the gate. After passing the screen wall, there is a five-meter-wide passage paved with bluestone slabs in the middle. There are small flower beds on both sides of the road, with four orange trees and magnolia trees planted on them, which are beneficial to feng shui.

The fruits of the orange tree are red and yellow in color, full of joy and symbolizing good luck.

The magnolia tree produces large, beautiful flowers with a strong fragrance, which symbolizes nobleness and purity, and is meant to bring a peaceful atmosphere to the home.

The front courtyard is the front yard, and the back courtyard is the back house; the front courtyard includes the front hall, flower hall, guest house, large kitchen, horse farm, stable, large garden, etc., integrated with the back yard, covering a total area of ​​about one acre.

It can be seen how big this second courtyard is.

If the planning is reasonable, this two-courtyard house can be completely transformed into a four-courtyard house. "The layout in the front is good, let's go to the back and take a look."

Nanny Zhao led the way to the inner courtyard, walked around the archway, and stepped into the backyard, where she discovered that the backyard was very different from the front yard. If the front yard was spacious and grand, the backyard was exquisite everywhere, with a cluster of brocade every three steps. The road was not as spacious as that of the front yard, but it had its own charm.

Walking past the main courtyard where the owner of the backyard lived, Mingyi was very satisfied with it. Nanny Zhao had good vision and decorated it according to her ideas. The account book recorded the source of the money, but she didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now looking back, she realized that the money was spent wisely and Nanny Zhao didn't take a penny.

Fifty taels of reward is too little.

Walk through the other courtyards in the backyard and return to the main courtyard.

Mingyi sat on the stool and called Chunmei, "Give another three hundred taels of silver to Madam Zhao. She has worked hard all these years. Madam Zhao, don't be in a hurry to refuse. These are what you deserve. As long as you work hard for me, I will not treat you unfairly."

At this point, Aunt Zhao bowed happily, "I will obey you, my master. I will do whatever you say. Don't worry, I will do my job well and live up to your trust."

Mingyi nodded and winked at Chunmei.

Chunmei went out with a smile and brought back all the luggage she had brought with her; a large box, two large bundles, and three small bundles, which contained clothes and jewelry that Mingyi would wear, as well as books that Mingyi wanted to read, and various utensils and tools.

In the future, she might live in the capital city permanently, so she would have to bring the necessary things with her in case of emergency.

Chunmei opened the big box and took out the dressing box which contained the silver and banknotes; she placed it next to Mingyi, opened the dressing box, took out a banknote worth three hundred taels from it, and respectfully placed it next to Mingyi.

"Master, the banknote you requested."

"To Aunt Zhao."

"Yes." Chunmei handed over the three hundred taels of silver with both hands, not out of courtesy, but out of respect, "Madam Zhao, please take it. The master is very satisfied with this house."

Nanny Zhao took the banknote with a smile and put it in her arms, "Thank you for the reward, Master."

"That's not necessary. Now that we've moved in, we should start buying things. The house is too big and I don't have any servants. You can first transfer a person who can cook from the store and two maids to clean."

"Yes, I'll send the person over in a moment." Nanny Zhao agreed with a smile, her expression showing pampering and indulgence.

Her master is such a good child.

"Go to the pawnbroker and buy a few maids and servants. Have Madam Zhao train them personally and get them to work as soon as possible." They can't transfer too many people in the shop, so they can only get a few people from the pawnbroker to use first.

Nanny Zhao nodded in agreement and helped Chunmei pack the three people's bags, especially Mingyi, who had a lot of things. The layout of the main courtyard was very different from the house they lived in before. There was the master's bedroom in the courtyard, and it was built with three houses together.

There are two side rooms on the left and right of the bedroom. On the right side is the small kitchen and servants' room, and on the left is the warehouse and bathroom.

The rooms on both sides of the bedroom can be used to store daily items, and the room on the right is a study.
