Chapter 62: People Kneeling in Thanks
At the same time, Zhu Mingqing was busy collecting seeds.
Although there were not many grain crops this time, there were indeed a lot more wild vegetable seeds.
If you count carefully, there are nearly a hundred different varieties.
We don't have to worry about having no vegetables to eat along the way, maybe we can even sell some.
Without looking up, she asked, "Half?"
“Too conservative!”
Zhu Mingqing's eyes lit up, and he was a little unconvinced: "Could there be another four hundred?"
The little world spirit nodded excitedly, "Qingqing is indeed smart. Just now, you won the favor of a total of 413 people!"
Excluding these people, almost everyone has contributed a degree of favorability.
Zhu Mingqing covered his mouth and laughed: ...
Make a lot of money!
"Qingqing, why don't you speak?"
"Let me take my time."
It seems that the goal of one thousand people will be achieved soon.
Upgrade is expected!
wrong!
"What about the seeds? How much are we short of now?" she asked immediately.
The little world spirit was stumped for a second, but still encouraged, "These are special times. Qingqing, you've already collected twenty-five kinds of food crops, which is quite impressive."
Zhu Mingqing curled his lips inwardly.
Therefore, even if she gained the favor of a thousand people, she would not be able to complete the second restoration without planting a certain amount of crops.
Alas, this is something that can be accomplished easily in modern times, but in ancient times, it would have been extremely difficult for her!
Moreover, there were not many seed varieties in ancient times, so it was really hard to find them.
Just as she was in a daze, County Magistrate Wang came over with his son Wang Qin: "Madam Zhu."
Zhu Mingqing came back to his senses, put away all the seeds, and stood up. "Lord Wang, Young Master Wang, have you two eaten enough?"
"Thank you, Madam Zhu, for your generosity!"
He bowed slightly, and Wang Qin hurriedly followed suit.
Although they had some unpleasantness, he saved his entire family.
Wang Qin has always been grateful to his lifesaver.
The two thanked him again.
In particular, County Magistrate Wang was very grateful to her for informing him in time and saving many people.
Zhu Mingqing did not refuse. This was the fact. She saved these people, so it was not excessive to receive a thank you.
Before she could say anything, there was a sudden commotion in the distance.
Zhu Mingqing looked up and saw that the people had put down their bowls and chopsticks and were walking towards him.
She frowned slightly.
What is this for?
When they were one meter away from her, the men knelt down.
There were also some sensible children who knelt one by one, and the babies were held in the arms of the adults.
They kowtowed three times to Zhu Mingqing.
Mrs. Hua knelt in front and said, "We are still alive now, thanks to the reminders of the lord and Madam Zhu. Madam Zhu also provides us with food, we are very grateful. If Madam Zhu needs us in any way, please let us know."
"Yes, we must do it beautifully."
"May the Madam live a long life!"
"Live a long life!"
When this cry was heard, the people followed suit.
Not only did it ignite the enthusiasm of everyone present, but those who were still recuperating in the tents were also helped out and kowtowed towards this side.
Some of them knew that Zhu Mingqing was an exiled prisoner, while others did not.
But they should know that if it weren't for the other party and County Magistrate Wang, they would have lost their lives long ago.
"May the Madam live a long life!"
The atmosphere is contagious. Before we knew it, passionate shouts in the bright bonfire spread throughout Dongshan.
The birds resting on the treetops were frightened and flew away with fluttering wings.
Such a scene not only shocked County Magistrate Wang, but also Liang He and other officials and the Luo family, who all looked over here, only to find that what they saw was somewhat unexpected.
Zhu Mingqing never expected it to be like this.
She thought...
These people are hungry and want to steal food.
She is just being mean-spirited!
Zhu Mingqing stood there in a daze, feeling complicated and excited.
Seeing that she was slow to speak, Fen Tao suddenly thought of the previous conversation with his wife.
So, did Madam know about it at that time?
At that time, she said that he was as selfish as herself and would not save anyone, but wasn't it my wife who was drifting on the boat that night, regardless of danger?
When County Magistrate Wang came to his senses, his first reaction was to feel a little jealous. He had never received such a generous gift from the people.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhu achieved it in just a few days.
Seeing them kneeling there, he couldn't bear it and called out to them, "Mrs. Zhu?"
Zhu Mingqing's eyes flashed and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This smile was different from the fake smiles in the past, but a gentle smile that came from the bottom of the heart.
"Everyone, please get up quickly."
She slowly walked forward and helped Hua Pozi up.
Other people also stood up, but were reluctant to leave.
Zhu Mingqing tilted his head, his mood fluctuating, a glint of light flashed across his eyes, and when he lowered his head again, his expression calmed down.
After all, she has never been afraid to assume the worst of people.
Even if she was betrayed, she never took the other person to heart, so how could she be sad?
Just retaliate directly!
She contributed these grains for her own selfish reasons.
To her, the most worthless thing is life-saving food to these people.
She said, "I already know your intentions, and Ming Qing is very grateful to you!"
"Mrs. Zhu, please don't say that..."
As soon as Mrs. Hua started to speak, Zhu Mingqing stopped her with a smile, "Okay, let's stop chatting and go eat, otherwise it will get cold."
"Hey!" Mrs. Hua nodded vigorously, and the others also gave Zhu Mingqing a grateful smile.
Wait until the crowd gradually disperses.
Zhu Mingqing stood there for a while, trying to digest the complicated emotions these people had just brought to her.
Liang He suddenly asked, "What are these people going to eat tomorrow? You..."
Zhu Mingqing is not a soft-hearted person. Under normal circumstances, she would definitely not provide it in order to prevent these people from taking it for granted.
But now, she said, "Give it one more day."
If the flood dissipates after a day, everything will be fine.
If it doesn't subside...
We’ll talk about it when the time comes.
Watching his mother's figure gradually disappear, Luo Huai felt very uneasy.
He resented his mother for revealing his father's whereabouts.
But he also knew that the real enemy was not her.
But no matter what, she was the indirect murderer of her father.
Why are you so tolerant to strangers but can't show mercy to your father?
He stared at Zhu Mingqing's tent, his fists clenched, his breath filled with grief and anger, and he wished he could rush in and demand an explanation.
Among the other members of the Luo family, Prince Luo suffered the greatest shock today.
He was not unfamiliar with this scene. Every time he returned victorious, the people would line the streets to welcome him and cheer warmly.
But he had never seen a woman treated with such affection.
For some reason, Old Prince Luo had an idea that even he himself found outrageous.
If the Luo family wants to restore its former prosperity, it may have to rely on the eldest son's wife.
