Chapter 554 Being Praised for Beauty

Shen Liang came to Old Madam Shen in a daze. Old Madam Shen first affirmed him, then said with a stern face, "You must cheer up and do your best to do the task assigned to you by the housekeeper.

If you say anything bad to me, I won't forgive you."

Shen Liang quickly knelt on the ground and expressed his loyalty to Madam Shen, "Madam, don't worry, I will do my job well."

Madam Shen then told him, "I'm sure you all know my temper. As I said, if you don't do your job well, I will punish you.

But if the job is done well, I will also reward you."

"I will remember the old lady's teachings and do my job well."

Shen Liang's scalp was red from knocking his head when he was called up.

Before he left, the servants of the Shen Mansion came to report to Old Madam Shen, "Old Madam, Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye are here."

"Quick, please invite them in."

Old Madam Shen couldn't sit still in her chair, so she stood up and walked to the door to look.

Seeing that Chen Liang had not left yet, she told him, "It just so happens that the master you are going to follow has arrived. You can get to know each other later, and when they leave the house, you can just follow them.

Chen Liang, you are an old man in my Shen Mansion, and these people in Qingfeng City also recognize your face.

Remember my words, when you come in and out on a daily basis, you represent the image of our Shen Mansion.

As for me, I asked you to drive the carriage for Mr. Ye so that the people in Qingfeng City would know that they are my, Old Madam Shen’s people, and they are the people that my Shen Mansion wants to protect.

Do you understand?

Shen Liang lowered his head and quickly responded, “Yes.”

"Also, don't tell Mr. and Mrs. Ye what I said today.

You can just drive our Shen Mansion's carriage and take them out."

Shen Liang responded "yes" again and said that he knew what to do.

Madam Shen nodded with satisfaction, “Well, you are smart, otherwise, Butler Shen would not have asked you to do this job.

Lihua, take note. When Chen Liang finishes his mission, ask Steward Shen to give him a raise. Also, the manager of the carriage and horse company has been clamoring to return home a while ago. If this position becomes vacant, let Chen Liang take it."

Shen Liang's mind was buzzing, and he only remembered that he should kneel down now and thank the old lady for the promotion.

Shen Liang knelt down and kowtowed several times, and then Mrs. Shen called out, "Alright, stop kowtow. If you kowtow again, I'm going to faint."

She looked outside again and asked, "Why hasn't this person come yet?"

Lihua supported Madam Shen and said, "Madam, please calm down. Maybe the uncle and the others are talking to Mr. Ye in front!"

"Send a message to the uncle, telling him that if he has anything to say, I can talk to him after I meet him and his wife. Once everything is settled, we can talk about it."

Lihua quickly waved to a little girl standing outside, and the little girl quickly ran out.

Chen Liang did not leave either. He stood aside, wondering in his heart who this Mr. Ye was and why he was so popular with the old lady.

At the same time, I was secretly happy in my heart, it turned out that this mission was indeed a good one!

Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu entered the Shen Mansion and were left in the front hall by Shen Yue.

Chen Yue first said some polite words of thanks to the couple for hosting his mother a while ago, and then asked about Ye Beixiu's academic performance.

Shen Yue told them that since they had come to Qingfeng City, they should not be polite and should inform him in time if there was anything.

Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu nodded in response.

Chen Yue looked at the humble young couple in front of him and was extremely satisfied. At first, he thought that they had needs, otherwise why would they be so nice to his mother.

Later, his mother said something to him and scolded him until he woke up.

He felt somewhat guilty. After receiving Ye Beixiu's visiting card yesterday, he deliberately stayed out a little later today just to meet the young couple.

Zhang Juexia was a woman after all, so Shen Yue naturally had nothing to say to her.

This time, Chen Yue was determined to help Ye Beixiu, so he told him about the precautions for the martial arts imperial examination that he had inquired about.

The two of them talked non-stop.

Seeing that Shen Yue and Ye Beixiu were talking so happily, Zhang Juexia became a little anxious. She wanted to see Old Madam Shen as soon as possible.

She felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have accompanied Ye Beixiu to see Chen Yue. She should have gone directly to the backyard.

At this time, a little girl came in breathlessly, "Master, the old lady is waiting anxiously, and wants Mr. Ye and his wife to come over quickly!"

Chen Yue slapped his forehead and said, "I've forgotten the important things while talking. How about this, Bei Xiu, you stay here first, and let your wife go to the backyard.

My mother must be missing her. You don't know that every time I go to pay my respects to her, she always mentions Mrs. Ye."

Zhang Juexia was naturally eager to hear this. She bowed to Shen Yue and said, "Master, I will go visit the old lady first."

Shen Yue nodded, and Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu exchanged reassuring glances.

The little girl took Zhang Juexia to the backyard.

On the way, Zhang Juexia asked the little girl about Madam Shen's daily life and physical condition.

The little girl told Zhang Juexia, "The old lady is fine! But she always mentions you."

Then the little girl stared at Zhang Juexia again, and Zhang Juexia asked her with a smile, "There is something on my face. From the first time you saw me, you kept looking at me.

Fortunately, I am thick-skinned enough, otherwise, no one could stand being stared at like this by a pretty little girl."

The little girl's face instantly turned red after being teased by Zhang Juexia.

Zhang Juexia took out a purse and gave it to the little girl, "Look at you, the person being stared at doesn't even blush, but you, the one staring, are the ones who feel embarrassed first.

Tell me why you are staring at me."

The little girl didn't dare to take the purse, so Zhang Juexia put it in her pocket and said, "You just took it a little earlier than them. Everyone in the old lady's yard has it."

The little girl thanked Zhang Juexia again and again, and then whispered, "The old lady mentions you every day, and those of us who serve her are about to get calluses on our ears.

But, I came to serve the old lady later, and I had never seen you before.

I thought that anyone who could become friends with the old lady would be about the same age as her.

But who knew that after seeing you, I...”

Zhang Juexia burst out laughing, "Do you think I should be a white-haired old lady, not so young?"

The little girl snorted shyly, "Also, Mrs. Ye has such big eyes. You are prettier than any other lady I've ever met."

Zhang Juexia was delighted after hearing what the little girl said. He took out a purse from his pocket and said, "Don't refuse. You are the first person who praised me for my beauty. You deserve it."
