Chapter 267 Someone Fainted
The next day, when Xiao Wu came with the official slaves, Ye Mingzhu specially asked Wu Jiang to come forward to receive them.
Only then did Wu Jiang realize that Master Cui was actually Xiao Wu, and that he had lived in their farm before.
When Xiaowu greeted him, his face was full of emotion and flattery.
Xiaowu was very familiar with this smile. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly before returning to his composure.
He asked Wu Jiang to take them to the wasteland. Ye Mingzhu did not go with them. She had been running to the county for two consecutive days and was a little tired. She took a day off in the farm today.
Aunt Jiang was sorting things out at the farm. She packed out all the fabrics and jewelry she had brought this time and asked Ye Mingzhu to decide which ones would be suitable as a gift for Mo Wan.
Ye Mingzhu picked out two batches of brightly colored fabrics from the fabrics she brought, but it was not easy to choose jewelry.
Mo Wan is still young, and most jewelry is not convenient for her to wear.
Aunt Jiang was a little worried: "I was thinking of giving Mo Wan a few pieces of jewelry to help Xia Zhi look good."
Ye Mingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I have some jewelry. I'll show it to you."
Aunt Jiang waved her hand, and Ye Mingzhu had already returned to the house. She was used to putting all her valuables in the space.
With a thought, she took out all the jewelry and picked out a box of jewelry suitable for Mo Wan's age. She put the other jewelry back into the space.
When Aunt Jiang saw her coming out with a box of jewelry, she immediately asked her to take it back: "Mingzhu, the relatives you are meeting in the capital this time are all from your future aunt's side. I can't take your jewelry."
She loves Xia Zhi's children and treats them well, but she can also distinguish between inside and outside, and cannot take Ye Mingzhu's things to give to Mo Wan.
"Mom, these are just some small things. They were sent by Sister Ye. I can't wear so many jewelry."
Ye Mingzhu forced the jewelry box into Aunt Jiang's hands and asked her to choose.
Aunt Jiang had no choice but to open the jewelry box, which was filled with pearls and silver jewelry, which were indeed more suitable for Mo Wan's age.
Aunt Jiang chose a silver hairpin, a silver bracelet, and a pair of pearl earrings, and Ye Mingzhu added a pair of pearl headbands.
Before Aunt Jiang could object, she rushed to say, "Consider this pair of pearl flowers as a gift to Mo Wan. Mother, please help me give them to her when the time comes."
Aunt Jiang had no choice but to wrap up the jewelry in a handkerchief, and then picked out a jade bracelet from her jewelry box for Ye Mingzhu.
"This bracelet is emerald green, which is perfect for your age. I can't take your things for free, so consider this bracelet as an exchange between me and you."
Ye Mingzhu looked at the emerald green bracelet in her hand and did not refuse: "This bracelet is much more valuable than the jewelry mother picked out. I made a profit."
"Child, if you like it, I'll give you this jade hairpin as a gift." Aunt Jiang inserted a jade hairpin into Ye Mingzhu's bun.
Ye Mingzhu wanted to pull them off, but Aunt Jiang held her hand and said, "These bracelets and hairpins were brought back by Hongyu when he went out a few years ago. I haven't worn them much, so you can't dislike them."
"Mother, you gave me the bracelet just now as a replacement. I didn't refuse it. I can't have this hairpin anymore."
Although it was not clear, the green was very lush, and Ye Mingzhu knew that the hairpin was of great value.
"I'm giving a piece of jewelry to my daughter-in-law. What's wrong with her accepting it?" Aunt Jiang took Ye Mingzhu's hand and patted it, preventing her from taking off the jewelry. Ye Mingzhu had no choice but to thank Aunt Jiang.
When she returned to the room, Ye Mingzhu took off the hairpin and put it together with the bracelet, her eyes full of confusion.
The quality of this bracelet and hairpin is so good that you can't even find them in the county town. You can imagine how expensive they are.
She remembered Jiang Hongyu saying that when they were exiled here, they had nothing on them. So where did Jiang Hongyu get the money to buy such valuable jewelry?
Their marriage was a cooperation. Ye Mingzhu had never asked about Jiang Hongyu's past, but now that their relationship was getting closer, Ye Mingzhu could no longer be as relieved as before.
But she was about to go to the provincial capital, and Jiang Hongyu was still staying on the small island in Yuanshan Village, so she could only wait until he came back to ask him again.
For the next two days, Xiao Wu did not return to the county government office. He stayed in the wasteland and watched the official slaves build a few thatched houses and then reclaim the wasteland.
However, the wasteland was not only covered with weeds, but also with many stones and gravel, making it difficult to work. Fortunately, there were many experienced farmers on the farm, and they all came to work with the official slaves of Bangzhu.
When Ye Mingzhu was about to set off for the provincial capital, only half an acre of wasteland to the west of the village had been reclaimed.
When Xiaowu came to see Ye Mingzhu off, his brows knitted together: "Mingzhu, I didn't expect that reclaiming land would be so troublesome?"
Looking at him, Ye Mingzhu couldn't help but feel lucky that she needed to go to the provincial capital, but she promised Xiaowu that she would bring him a gift when she returned from the provincial capital.
To express his gratitude, Xiaowu personally sent her to the county town to take the official ship, but the smile on his face was too bright, and Ye Mingzhu suspected that he wanted to go back to the county town.
This time when they went to the county town, Wu Jiang drove the carriage to take them there. After they got on the boat, Wu Jiang drove the carriage back.
When they arrived at the dock, Ye Mingzhu found that Yu Jiaming was also there. She turned her head and glanced at Xiaowu.
Xiaowu deliberately looked away, as if he didn't see it.
"I know Mingzhu is going to the provincial capital today, so I came here to see her off. Mingzhu won't think I'm meddling, will she?" Yu Jiaming said this deliberately when he saw Ye Mingzhu's expression.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Mingzhu had nothing to say. She just smiled and thanked Yu Jiaming before getting on the boat.
Uncle Yan looked at Yu Jiaming and said meaningfully, "Don't worry, Master Yu."
He didn't say what to be assured of?
Yu Jiaming, however, felt that Uncle Yan meant that he was meddling too much.
Yu Jiaming wanted to say something else, but Uncle Yan had already boarded the boat, and two people who were moving things walked around him and got on the boat as well.
Xiao Wu looked at his embarrassed expression, coughed and said, "Sir, how about I report to you about what happened at Zhuangzi?"
Yu Jiaming retracted his gaze and nodded: "We'll talk about it when we get back to the government office."
Xiaowu knew that he had come to his senses and felt relieved. The two of them watched the official ship sail away together.
Inside the cabin, Ye Yun'an looked around the entire cabin with great interest, then ran to sit on the bed.
Ye Mingzhu was a little amused: "It's not like you haven't been on a boat before, why are you so excited?"
"We used to ride on small boats, and even when we slept on the boat, we just lay down directly. There was no bed to sleep on." Ye Yun'an couldn't stay in the cabin, so he wanted to go out after sitting for a while.
"Sister, can I go to the deck and take a look?"
"Go." Ye Mingzhu did not go. She still wanted to take out some things from the box. After all, she would be staying here for a while, so she tried to make the cabin more comfortable.
She took out her usual sheets and mattress and spread them out, then made herself a cup of tea with the teapot she brought from home. Before she could drink it, there was a knock on the door.
"Sister, someone fainted."
