Chapter 180 Qian Family
Zhang Juexia read the contract patiently and looked at Ye Beixiu, wondering whether to agree to the deal.
"I've made my words so clear, just sign it.
Don't feel like you owe me a favor. As I said, if we weren't meant to be together, I wouldn't have helped you get this job."
Zhang Juexia thought that if she continued to act pretentiously, it would be a bit hypocritical, so she simply signed her name.
"That's right. Tomorrow I'll send someone to the capital to deliver the cloth quickly. You go home and make arrangements. We'll start work after the 15th."
Qian Yulin helped Zhang Juexia make arrangements, which made Zhang Juexia feel a little warm.
She bowed to Qian Yulin and said, "Thank you, auntie."
Qian Yulin helped her up and said, "Put yourself in her shoes. Yingyue is like my own daughter. Since you are helping her so much, we should do our best to help you."
Zhang Juexia then remembered her other purpose for coming. "Aunt, we bought land before the New Year and want to meet the tenants. What are the rules and regulations?"
"For this matter, just let Li Zhong take you to the government office."
Qian Yulin wanted to keep him for dinner, but Zhang Juexia was worried about meeting the tenant and didn't want to make Zhang Wei wait anxiously, so he gave Qian Yulin a reason and said goodbye.
Qian Yulin did not force her to stay, but only told Zhang Juexia to let her know when the shop opened.
I also asked for her specific address, so that the person who delivers the fabric will deliver it directly to her home.
Coming out of Li's house, Zhang Juexia clutched the signed contract in his hand, still feeling as if in a dream, "Husband, pinch me."
Ye Beixiu couldn't bear to do it. "My dear, I can testify to this. It's true. Hurry up and get in the car! The snow has stopped and it's drizzling. It's very cold."
Li Zhong had been waiting at the gate of the mansion for a long time. When he saw Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu, they greeted each other and said hello. Then he led the way and took them to the yamen.
Zhang Juexia sat in the carriage, thinking in his mind that there were not many embroidered parts on these styles of purses, but they were there.
Even if she raised the wage for a purse to forty cents, she would still earn eighty cents per person. If there were a thousand purses, that would be eighty taels of silver.
That year, if you did well, you could get one thousand and two taels of silver.
Her heart trembled at the thought.
Ye Beixiu, who was driving the car, was also in a very good mood.
A small idea from my wife actually led to a big business.
The problem is that this is just the beginning. He doesn't even dare to think about what will happen in the future. He just raises the corner of his mouth and says, "My dear, from now on, all the hard work at home will be left to me. You just need to focus on managing the family business."
"It seems that there is nothing much to manage in business, husband, why don't I lie down!"
"Ma'am, I don't understand what lying down means!"
"Lying down means doing nothing."
"If you don't want to do it, I'll do it."
"You will?"
"Of course I am willing. My good life started when I got married. Of course I am willing to help my wife share more work. As long as my wife is happy, I will do anything."
Ye Beixiu's little mouth was really filled with honey, and Zhang Juexia was overjoyed when she heard it.
When they arrived at the yamen gate, the gatekeeper was very polite to Li Zhong and let them into the yard.
When Liu Qiang saw Li Zhong, he went to meet him, but when he saw the person coming from behind, he asked, "Brother Bei Xiu, why are you here?"
Li Zhong asked Liu Qiang, "Do you know each other?"
"Not only do I know him, I'm very familiar with him!"
"That's great. I won't have to bother you any more. Cousin, regarding the land purchase before the New Year, I'll have to trouble you to take Mr. Ye and Miss Zhang to meet the tenants."
Liu Qiang was not surprised and responded with a smile, "I was in charge of this matter, so it's my responsibility to take them to meet the tenants.
Butler Li, I'd like to ask you to say a few good words to my cousin's mother later."
Li Zhong's words were watertight, "I am just a servant, how can I be qualified to discuss the master's affairs.
However, whether this matter is done well or not, Madam will know it sooner or later."
Liu Qiang smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, Steward Li. Brother Bei Xiu and I are already acquaintances, so I'm sure I'll pay more attention to this matter."
"Then I won't accompany you. There are many things to do in the mansion, and I need to deal with them one by one."
Li Zhong bowed and got on the carriage.
Liu Qiang watched his carriage disappear before he started talking to Zhang Juexia and the others.
"Brother Bei Xiu, big sister, I didn't expect that you and my cousin's mother have such a good relationship."
Liu Qiang's words showed surprise and envy.
"How did you two meet?"
"Just some coincidences."
Zhang Juexia sent Liu Qiang away with just a few words.
Zhang Wei also walked out of the house. "I've been waiting for you. Liu Qiang and I are on duty today. I want to finish this and go home quickly."
"Then let's go!"
Ye Beixiu let them get on the carriage and turned back to the fields.
Zhang Wei in the carriage was very emotional, "I didn't expect that you guys are so familiar with the Li family, sister.
Madam Li rarely pays attention to such trivial matters on weekdays. She specially asked Li Zhong to bring you here today to show that she takes this matter seriously."
Liu Qiang narrowly agreed, "My cousin's mother-in-law's temper is indeed like this. She simply disdains to deal with us petty officials."
Zhang Juexia pretended not to be very familiar with Qian Yulin, "Brother Liu, does Madam Li have a bad temper?"
Liu Qiang was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
Zhang Wei glanced at Zhang Juexia and asked, "Are you not very familiar with Madam Li?"
"My two brothers, when have I ever lied? Madam Li and I have only known each other for a short time and are not very familiar with each other."
"That's really strange. My cousin's mother has the final say on all matters big and small in my cousin's family.
Besides being lustful, my cousin also listens to my aunt. Although this is a bit absurd, my aunt has the final say in their family affairs.
Moreover, my cousin's mother's brothers are very powerful and are now officials in the capital."
When Liu Qiang said this, Zhang Juexia couldn't help but ask, "Where is Madam Li's family? Is it more powerful than the Li family?"
"Let's put it this way. When my aunt married my uncle, the two families were equal. But now, my aunt's family, the Qian family, is obviously higher than the Li family.
Because my cousin's brother holds a third-rank official position in the imperial court, but the Li family's brothers, I heard, are only small-time officials in the capital, and are useless."
Liu Qiang talked about Qian Yulin again. When Zhang Juexia learned that she was born a concubine's daughter, she almost hit her head.
"What's the big deal? The Qian family is also a prominent family. Even her brother who is an official in the capital is a bastard, and he and my cousin are born of the same mother.
This is also one of the reasons why my cousin obeys my aunt's words.
Who can blame him for having a powerful brother?
Because of this relationship, the businesses of the other members of the Qian family are also growing bigger and bigger."
