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

Chapter 1388 Famine and Natural Disaster 546
Mingyi went over to take a look. The study was large and spacious. It couldn't be compared with the master bedroom, but it was much better than the small study she had used before.

Bookshelves, desks, and tables, chairs and stools for entertaining guests are all available.

She had to arrange the rest herself.

"Chunmei, Chunmei, move the books you brought over and put them on the bookshelf; put the pens, inkstones, and paper on the desk; bring over the calligraphy and paintings we brought, too. I want to arrange them well."

"I understand, Master."

Chunmei ran out of the study and brought out a large bag. After unpacking the bag, she found two sets of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, a box of grinding mill sticks, and the rest were books, calligraphy and paintings she had made in her spare time, and some older calligraphy and paintings.

"Master, I will put the books away. Please take a look at how to arrange the other things."

Mingyi looked around, stroked his chin and pondered, "I remember the paintings and calligraphy I brought included a large landscape painting. It's hung on the wall behind the desk, with the teacher's handwritten words on it. Next to the bookshelf on the right is a painting of auspicious clouds that I made in my spare time, and next to the bookshelf on the left is another painting of auspicious clouds."

"okay."

Chunmei put the books away, and immediately picked up the remaining calligraphy and paintings, and hung the large one directly; on it hung the four words "Hou De Zai Wu" written by Grand Master Fan himself, and there were several pictures of auspicious clouds, each one was different.

Mingyi has seen countless auspicious cloud scenes, and any one of them he picks out is a masterpiece.

"Master, it's over."

Once the picture of auspicious clouds is hung up, coupled with the large picture of mountains and rivers, the arrangement has a certain charm.

"That's about it. Spread out the remaining calligraphy and paintings and hang them in several corners to add some charm." Mingyi and Chunmei hung them together. When they work together, they are always faster.

In this way, no corner is left empty and every edge and corner is decorated, making such a large study room look brand new.

Chunmei was very satisfied. Nanny Zhao brought some freshly brewed tea, and the three of them admired the newly decorated study. Mingyi went back to wash up and lie down for a while. Chunmei was busy with things in the kitchen. There was no one to cook here, so she had to take over temporarily. She could not let go until Nanny Zhao sent the cook over.

Nanny Zhao went out for a while and when she came back she brought three maids with her. Mingyi only found out when she woke up that they had been brought here.

Nanny Zhao helped her get dressed and washed up, then helped her walk out of the backyard to meet the three people in the front yard.

The three of them stood in front of the reception hall in the front yard, looking down in a respectful manner.

Madam Zhao helped Mingyi into the flower hall and sat down. She then turned back outside and said to the three people, "Come in. The master wants to see you."

"Yes." The three of them remained respectful and did not dare to look up.

Nanny Zhao was very satisfied. She wanted the people she had personally trained to be respectful and dutiful; they did not do anything presumptuous and behaved prudently, so she did not hesitate to give them some advice.

"Our master is kind and benevolent. When you serve him in the future, the most important thing is to be cautious and respectful. You cannot take advantage of the master's kindness. You must always remember that we are slaves and servants."

"We understand. Thank you, Madam Zhao, for your advice."

The three of them looked very dutiful. Nanny Zhao nodded with satisfaction and led them into the flower hall.

"Master, the person has been brought here." Madam Zhao bowed and greeted.

"Stand up, Madam Zhao, can you tell me their names?" Mingyi glanced at the three people casually. They lowered their heads, so she couldn't see their faces clearly.

Madam Zhao walked up to her and stood beside her, saying, "Starting from the left, they are Granny Chen, Granny Fang, and Granny Li. Granny Chen is good at cooking, while Granny Fang and Granny Li can do some rough work. They are honest and decent people in my hands."

Whether it will change in the future remains to be seen in the long term.

Mingyi understood it with her heart.

The three maids knelt down and saluted, "The servants pay their respects to the master."

Mingyi glanced at their slightly stiff arms and tense backs after they bowed down. They did not think she was easy to please just because she was young, but remained cautious and respectful as always. Such people are either good at pretending or really decent people. "Stand up and answer."

"Yes, thank you, master." The three of them stood up and bowed their heads.

"Keep your head up."

The three of them looked up subconsciously, their eyelids still drooping.

Judging from their faces, they look kind, but without seeing their eyes, it's hard to say; a person's face can be deceiving, but their eyes cannot. No matter how good the disguise is, anyone who knows a little about face reading can tell when there is something wrong with the person in front of them.

"look at me."

"Yes!"

The three men raised their eyelids, but dared not look directly at her. They could only try to look away and not meet her gaze.

Behave in a unified manner to avoid offending the master.

Nanny Zhao nodded secretly. This was how it had to be. They couldn't look at the master without restraint just because the master asked them to look at her. That would be disrespectful.

The three people had different looks in their eyes, one was timid, one was fearful, and one was nervous but still tried her best to remain calm; there was only one thing in common, they were indeed decent people, there was no extra desire in their eyes, and they were satisfied with what they had at the moment.

I am not afraid of people being satisfied, I am afraid of people being unsatisfied.

Only by keeping a contented heart can you live well in the present.

"Very good, you just do things according to Madam Zhao's arrangements. As long as you work hard, you will not be in danger every day." This was a promise to them that as long as they did not have any second thoughts and worked honestly as always, she would not abandon them.

I don’t know if they understood or not, but they just knelt down and saluted again.

"The servants bow to thank the master."

Mingyi smiled and said, "Stand up. You don't have to kneel down and kowtow to me in the future. Just follow Aunt Zhao."

"Yes."

After the three of them stood up, Mingyi gave Madam Zhao a wink.

Madam Zhao nodded respectfully and said to the three of them, "Follow me."

"Yes."

Nanny Zhao led their people out of the flower hall. Mingyi straightened her body and watched them walk out of her sight. It must be said that Nanny Zhao was very good at disciplining people, and she was also good at judging people.

We brought three people on this trip, and none of them had any ill intentions.

Two days later, Madam Zhao brought the pawnbroker with her, and a group of men and women followed; they were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, without any extra styles, but they were clean and tidy.

Mingyi picked out a few people who looked good at the moment, five women and three servants; they were between fifteen and eighteen years old, with ordinary looks but healthy bodies.

She didn't accept those families who had families; now that she lived alone, there was no need for so many people. Moreover, she had few people around her, and although there were secret guards watching in secret, she couldn't let the servants of each family control the inner and outer houses.

She can be kind, but she cannot use her own wealth to do so.

She is a practitioner of Taoism, and maintaining a kind heart is her wish, not her duty.

This is true whether one is practicing Taoism or Buddhism. A Taoist has a heart of compassion for the world. This is what the practitioner wants, but it is not her duty. The same is true for Buddhism. Having a compassionate heart and loving all living beings is what the practitioner wants, but it is not her duty.

Because of this mentality, while she is kind, she will not be in a hurry to do good deeds.
