Chapter 63
Zhang Yunniang's sadness and remorse caused by her reluctance and annoyance were all gone in an instant.
She lifted up the wheelchair and carried the person up.
"Did you fall anywhere?"
"It's okay, I'm fine." Jun Qingmo said righteously, "What were you doing out here all by yourself? It was so late, and you hadn't come in for ages. Lanzhi and I were worried about you, so we decided to go out and check. Who knew you'd just suddenly push the door open without making any noise, causing us to fall."
Lanzhi nodded vigorously beside her. "That's right, it hurts so much. You walk without making any sound?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice. I'll rub it for you later."
This was a clever move. Lanzhi admitted defeat. Jun Qingmo really understood Zhang Yunniang. She secretly gave him a thumbs up. The two people who were in the wrong instantly stood on the moral high ground and had the right to point fingers and criticize others.
Jun Qingmo pretended not to know what had just happened outside, "Who is here so late?"
"Oh, Master Wei is here. He wants to congratulate you on passing the exam. It's too late today, so I'll invite you to have a good reunion another day."
Congratulations to him for not meeting him. Jun Qingmo pretended not to know about such a big loophole.
The palace examination does not eliminate anyone, but the ranking is equally important. Jun Qingmo took a short break for two days and began to prepare for the content of the palace examination.
The competition in the imperial examinations was very fierce and there was no room for relaxation.
Since Zhang Yunniang wants an ordinary life, he needs to stand at a higher and farther position.
Only then can she lay a stable foundation for her ordinary life.
He was strong enough to protect her, and no one dared to disturb her.
"Yun Niang, I've done some simple renovations on my newly bought house. It won't affect my occupancy, but the greenery inside the house needs to be replanted and the decorations need to be adjusted. The new housekeeper doesn't understand my preferences. Could you help me take care of it?"
Jun Qingmo prefers to live here, but the space here is limited after all. He needs someone to do things for him, so naturally he needs to support a group of people of his own.
Lanzhi was busy some time ago, arranging some things for him.
He needs to rely on others for his travel. He had no choice before, but now he doesn't want Zhang Yunniang to suffer so much.
As a woman, it would be inconvenient for Zhang Yunniang to take him to many occasions.
He had already considered these things.
They have already chosen a date and will move into their new home soon.
"Huh? From now on I can just be a gardener?" Zhang Yunniang blinked her eyes, she paid attention to the key point.
Jun Qingmo laughed and scolded, "When it comes to laziness, who can compare to you?"
"Oh my, I will definitely be careful in the future. I will definitely be careful. Things are different now. There are so many capable and righteous people around the young master. How dare I do anything?" Zhang Yunniang held her face and made an expression that said, "I'm so scared, I'm really scared."
"Well, that's right. Now, I'm no longer the Jun Qingmo you can bully me with. From now on, you have to pay attention to the rules." Jun Qingmo matched her performance with a serious expression. His tone was no longer as gentle as usual, but carried a hint of majesty that brooked no disobedience.
"My contract is about to expire. So, I won't be renewing it."
Zhang Yunniang touched her chin. With all the money she had now, retirement was not a problem. The restaurant was still distributing dividends. With a goose laying golden eggs, she could completely give up.
"Puff, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough." Jun Qingmo was choked by his own saliva and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
After so many years, why hasn't he learned his lesson? Why does he always remember the food but not the beating? He really wants to give himself two slaps in the face.
When fighting with Zhang Yunniang, he has never gained the upper hand.
No matter what he is trying to show off, no matter what he is pretending to be, he is about to run away!!!
He quickly offered favorable terms to lure her back. "If you continue to sign the contract, considering your previous hard work, your monthly salary will be increased to twenty taels of silver. You will also receive red envelopes during festivals. You will only need to manage the flowers and plants in the mansion, and you won't have to do anything yourself. We will assign a few flower farmers to do the work for you. You will have complete freedom of time, and there will be no restrictions on your actions."
Twenty taels of silver. A maid in a wealthy family would earn five taels of silver a month at most. Twenty taels? That's a big salary increase. What do workers want? More salary, more salary, and more salary!
Zhang Yunniang thought that she had planted the trees before, and now it was time to harvest the fruits. It would be a loss if she didn't sign. She should sign an open-ended contract and run away when the time was right.
Jun Qingmo had just stood up. Even if she wanted to throw away her crutches, it was not the right time yet. It would take a while for her to do so.
Well, she is safe and can sign.
"Sign, I sign, I sign." Zhang Yunniang had an expression of being forced into prostitution. She squatted on the ground as if she had lost all hope in life, crying and sobbing.
"Stop, stop." Jun Qingmo was heartbroken. He couldn't beat her, so he admitted defeat.
The yard of the new residence is very large. The reason why we were able to move in so quickly is that we made some minor repairs on the original basis, and we will need to renovate it slowly according to our preferences in the future.
Servants and housekeepers are all available.
On the first night in the new home, Zhang Yunniang was so excited that she hugged Xixi and Haha and sat in the yard to chat all night.
She now has her own courtyard, next to Lanzhi. Jun Qingmo lives in the main courtyard, not far from them, but a little distance away.
She couldn't help but feel happy when she thought about being able to live her previous life again!
The happiness of a worker is so simple: easy work, high salary, good benefits and good treatment. How can it be described in one word: "great".
She built a ladder in the corner of the wall and climbed up the wall from time to time to call Lanzhi from another courtyard to come out and chat.
Lanzhi would say jokingly, "She's cheating again."
She would shamelessly respond, "Good sister, I'm here for a private meeting."
We used to live such a hard life, but now we live like a god.
Lanzhi still goes out early and comes back late, busy with her work.
She feels like a fish in water here and doesn't want to leave.
Jun Qingmo felt depressed.
He was left alone, he was not loved, and people really forgot about him.
He wants to make trouble.
How can people really just ignore him if they say so?
Yes, he has someone taking care of him, but she can't really just ignore him.
After trying hard for a few days, Jun Qingmo couldn't hold it in any longer. If the mountain doesn't come to me, I have no choice but to go to the mountain.
He listened to the people below chatting. There was a lantern festival tonight, and he wondered if the person he invited to watch the lantern festival would agree to go.
Zhang Yunniang indulged herself for two days, estimating that the palace examination would be held the day after tomorrow.
Jun Qingmo now had a dedicated servant to wait on him, as well as a maid to serve him tea and water. His care was presumably much more thoughtful and detailed than hers. So she decided not to disturb him while he was preparing for the exam.
The palace examination is coming soon, so it’s time to relax.
Relaxation is essential before the exam. When the actual exam comes, you'll be in a good state and will perform exceptionally well. You'll even get three days off before the college entrance exam.
There happens to be a lantern festival today, so you can go and join in the fun.
The lantern festivals in ancient times were the most fun, with all kinds of delicious food and many acrobatic performances.
The streets are bustling with fire-breathing, iron flower-making, acrobatics, and all kinds of performances.
Many talent shows that could only be seen on TV in the past can now be watched in person.
Sure enough, in an age without electronic products, people’s entertainment programs would be more exciting.
Zhang Yunniang met Jun Qingmo who had just left the yard on the path. He was rolling his wheelchair by himself and no one was following him.
In order to facilitate Jun Qingmo's normal passage, the structure of the courtyard here has been completely renovated. There is no threshold, and the steps are paved with gentle slopes.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master." She waved her hands vigorously and the people on the other end looked over.
"Where's the person taking care of you? Why did you come out by yourself?"
"You are living a happy life without caring about my life or death." Jun Qingmo had been holding back his anger for a few days, and it finally burst out the moment he saw the person. The grievance in his heart was stuck in his chest, making him very uncomfortable.
"What? Someone actually dared to bully you? Who? Why don't you ask the housekeeper to replace the person immediately? What are you waiting for?"
Zhang Yunniang was shocked. How could people be so presumptuous these days? She was already unreliable and out of tune enough, how could anyone be more unreliable than her?
Who is Jun Qingmo? He's the owner of this house! He's not the unloved young master in the palace before. Doesn't he know who paid them the money? How dare they bully him?
"Who is on duty with you today? No matter how good your temper is, you can't tolerate it. Tell the housekeeper to kick them out of the house."
Jun Qingmo pursed his lips. Oh, he was the one who drove those people away and got out. There were people trying to push him along the way, but he drove them all away.
Isn't it just to make it easier to play the victim when attacking someone?
Humph, bully him? Who else would dare to bully him except her, Zhang Yunniang?
Come on, change the subject quickly, otherwise the whole thing will be exposed. How embarrassed will he be?
"Okay, I have an idea. I'll talk to you when I get back. I heard there's a lantern festival today. Let's go check it out."
"Okay, I was just about to ask you if you want to go to the Lantern Festival. Before the exam, the most important thing to do is relax. In the last one or two days, relaxing and finding your state is the most important thing."
"Were you going to look for me?" A surge of joy welled up in my heart. Oh, it seemed that I had not forgotten him.
"Yes, the past few days have been a critical period for you to prepare for the exam, so it would be inappropriate for me to disturb you. It doesn't matter if you read the book or not in the next two days."
With just a few words, Jun Qingmo was coaxed into submission, and the aura around him suddenly heated up several degrees.
My chest is no longer stuffy, my breath is no longer short, and a warm smile appears on my face.
The streets are full of enthusiastic crowds and are very lively.
There are many lanterns arranged on the streets, and each shop has its own signboard lantern in front of the door.
There are also many lanterns in the wide open spaces on the street.
The two of them strolled here, the lights were dim.
Small lanterns of all shapes and sizes are hung on the branches and under the eaves. The lights are bright and the stars are shining. How can one describe the beauty of the scene?
"Wow, if at this moment, there were Kongming lanterns rising up, and there were flower lanterns below, with Kongming lanterns floating in the sky, thousands of houses lit up, and the sea and river clear, what a beautiful scene it would be."
Zhang Yunniang especially likes this kind of leisurely and comfortable life amidst the hustle and bustle of life.
The orange lights are cozy and comfortable.
In the past life, neon buildings, asphalt roads, the sky above the city that never sleeps, evicted hawkers, and boxes of reinforced concrete were like cages, without the most attractive atmosphere of fireworks.
She really doesn't like it.
"Hurry up, hurry up, or you won't get a good seat if you're late."
"Wait for me, wait for me."
"Ouch." Zhang Yunniang exclaimed.
"Yun Niang, where did you get hurt? Is it serious?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Zhang Yunniang, who was strolling, was squeezed by the fast-moving crowd and stumbled. She quickly moved to the side, not knowing what these people were doing in such a hurry.
