Chapter 1114 Refusing a Wage Increase
Old Madam Shen also followed Zhang Juexia's words and calculated the time. "How about I send someone to ask her now? You can sit with me for a while."
After about an incense stick of time, Shen Lingchuan's mother replied, saying that she could wait.
Hearing this, Madam Shen finally felt relieved, "Girl, go back!
Remember to pick up Madam Shen when you go to the capital."
Zhang Juexia nodded, "Old Madam, I won't forget it."
"Girl, don't blame me for being nosy!
With her body, if you bring her to the capital, Shen Lingchuan will definitely remember you well."
"I know."
After returning from the Shen family farm, the first thing Ye Beixiu was concerned about was why Old Madam Shen called her.
Zhang Juexia just said that Old Madam Shen missed her, and the two of them talked.
Then, he briefly talked about the matter that Old Lady Shen had entrusted to him.
Ye Beixiu also frowned, "Master Shen's mother, her body is really poor."
“Madam Shen said she would hand it over to someone else, and everyone is worried.
He also said that if we do this, Lord Shen will feel like he owes us a favor."
Ye Beixiu thought for a while, "Since the old lady said so, let's take her to the capital!
At worst, when we set out, we can just find a skilled doctor to accompany us."
"As you say."
Zhang Juexia talked with Old Madam Shen for a long time and felt a little tired, so he wanted to rest early.
Just as she was about to take a break, Shen Liang came.
Ye Beixiu teased her with a smile, "Maybe he already knows our plan and is afraid that you will leave tomorrow, so he hurried over."
“That should be it!”
After Shen Liang came in, it was indeed the same opening remarks that Ye Beixiu had just made. Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia smiled at each other.
Shen Liang thought guiltily, he didn't say anything wrong just now!
Zhang Juexia first told Shen Liang about his plan, and then continued, "Shen Liang, think about it quickly, is there anything else you need me to do now?"
"Ma'am, I thought about it from the moment I knew you were going out, but I just didn't expect it."
"Then why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
"What I'm thinking about is, what if the lady has any instructions?"
"That's right. Let me ask you, have the people that the Marquis brought been properly arranged?"
"According to the Marquis's instructions, I asked them what they thought, and then I discussed it with Escort Leader Ren.
The escort agency took away those who liked to escort and were physically able to do so.
Then there were some who wanted to work as shop assistants, so I kept them.
As for the rest, those who were more or less injured, I brought them to Zhuangzi and handed them over to Eryong."
Zhang Juexia asked Shen Liang, “What did Eryong say?”
"The village is in need of people right now, Eryong must be very happy!"
"That's fine. No matter where they go, we must treat them well."
Shen Liang nodded, “Madam, we all understand.
They’re all amazing men.”
"The return date of the Marquis and I is uncertain, so please pay more attention to the business in Qingfeng City!"
Shen Liang stood up immediately, “Don’t worry, Madam.”
Zhang Juexia waved his hand, asked him to sit down, and said, "The Wang family has been pretty honest lately, right?"
Shen Liang laughed, “Indeed, he has become much more honest.
I heard that they originally wanted to open a restaurant in Qingfeng City, but for some reason, they closed it halfway through.
Anyway, the Wang family has already quietly left Qingfeng City.
Even Aunt Qiu was silent.
Madam, this is Old Lady Zhang’s granddaughter. It was Old Lady Zhang who sold the farm to us so that she could marry into the capital.”
"What happened to her?"
“Nothing much.
I heard that she went back to her parents' home a while ago, causing chaos in the Zhang family.
When he returned to the capital, he asked Mrs. Zhang to sell another farm.
It’s just because she made too much noise after she sold the farm to us.
No one dared to deal with the Zhang family anymore.
Therefore, the young lady of the Zhang family, who married into a wealthy family, left Qingfeng City very unhappy.
Old Madam Zhang was so angry that she fell ill. I heard that her illness was serious this time.
Even the other members of the Zhang family were seriously injured.
Originally, the girl from the Shen family had never despised the Zhang family. She only liked the young master of the Zhang family because he was well-educated and had a promising future.
But after this commotion, the Shen family directly rejected the marriage.
The wealthy families in Qingfeng City all follow the trend, so the Zhang family is finished."
"That's not necessarily true. Isn't it true that Young Master Zhang is good at studying?"
"That will have to wait a few years, until the young master of the Zhang family actually passes the imperial examination.
Anyway, now everyone is walking around the Zhang family."
Zhang Juexia was in a very good mood after hearing this. After all, she had gone through a lot of trouble to buy the Zhang family's farm.
"I just heard you say that Aunt Qiu is no longer in Qingfeng City?"
"Well, our people said that it was the Wang family's house, but it's empty now."
"Then where did she go?"
Shen Liang shook his head, “Madam, I really don’t know.
After all, Aunt Qiu is also a member of the Wang family's inner house, so it's not appropriate for us to ask too much.
Madam, how about I ask them to find out more?"
"Forget it, where she goes has nothing to do with me.
I'm just worried that she will go to Shunhe County and cause trouble again.
After all, Erniu's marriage is a happy occasion."
Shen Liang was puzzled, “Aunt Qiu, she hasn’t given up yet!
Wang Yuying, such a great imperial businessman, has taken the initiative to seek peace with us.
She is just a concubine, she can't just hold us hostage!
What good will it do her?"
“I was also wondering, what good is it for her to do this?
I just haven’t figured it out.”
Ye Beixiu advised Zhang Juexia, "If you haven't figured it out, don't think about it.
Now, we don't have to worry about her at all.
If you're really worried, I'll have someone send a letter to Yang Zhitong first, asking him to pay more attention."
Zhang Juexia thought Ye Beixiu’s idea was good, so he talked to Shen Liang about some things and asked him to pay more attention.
In addition, Zhang Juexia specifically instructed Shen Liang to do business steadily as before.
"Ma'am, don't worry, everyone understands.
Ever since the second master of the Shen family became the Prime Minister, the entire Shen family has been very low-key.
So, we all understand these principles. A tall tree attracts the wind. So we do our business honestly and don't let the diners who come to our restaurant find any fault.
After all, our shop supports quite a few people!"
Zhang Juexia listened to Chen Liang's words and understood that there was no need to give more instructions. "Chen Liang, there is also Eryong's farm and Taohua's shop. When I'm not around, these are all things that you need to take care of."
Shen Liang patted his chest and made a promise, "Madam, you and the Marquis can go to the capital with peace of mind!
I promise to take your instructions to heart."
"I'll give you a raise when I come back from Beijing."
Shen Liang waved his hands repeatedly, “Madam, please don’t raise my salary.
My salary is already the highest in Qingfeng City."
