Chapter 223 What a pity
Zhang Juexia played with Old Madam Shen for two whole days, and made the old lady very happy.
Ye Beixiu was also warmly received by Shen family's head, Shen Yue. Shen Yue also kept emphasizing that no matter what problems they encountered in Qingfeng City, they could tell him.
Ye Beixiu had no choice but to nod in response.
"My mother has been unhappy ever since she was relieved of her duties at home. Although my father is by her side, we always feel that she is listless every day.
Seeing her chatting and laughing with your wife today, Shen felt that his mother suddenly looked much younger.
From now on, you can come to Qingfeng City often, and when you do, be sure to let your wife accompany my mother and talk to her."
"must."
Madam Shen had arranged for the people in the farm to deliver a lot of fruit tree seedlings. He introduced them to Madam Shen, "Madam, this year there are only more yellow peach seedlings, so I took the initiative to bring these, all of which are yellow peach seedlings."
When Zhang Juexia heard the word "yellow peach", he couldn't help but think of canned yellow peaches and how delicious they tasted.
Old Madam Shen glanced back at Zhang Juexia. Seeing her eyes light up, she knew the sapling was what she wanted. "Juexia girl, what do you think?"
"Okay, that's great, thank you, ma'am."
Zhang Juexia hurriedly stood up and thanked Mrs. Shen.
Madam Shen waved her hand and said, "Stop all the formalities. Hurry up and call your husband and take these fruit tree seedlings home!"
"Thank you, Madam."
"Take Lao Zhang with you too. He's an expert at growing fruit trees on my farm. Let him help you plant the trees and teach you how to graft and fertilize them. In short, we need to make sure the trees produce the best fruit."
Zhang Juexia was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. "Old Madam is so thoughtful."
"Don't be sentimental in front of an old woman like me. Come back quickly. I've already said that Lao Zhang is my man. Let him teach you and then come back quickly."
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu took Master Zhang and two carts full of fruit saplings, said goodbye to Mrs. Shen, and returned to Yejia Village.
Master Zhang personally planted the yellow peach trees on the mountain and taught Ye Beixiu and others how to plant them.
By the way, he took another stroll on the mountain and guided Ye Beixiu to move several pear trees, hawthorn trees, and jujube trees from other hills.
Old Zhang looked at the endless mountains and said, "Try planting these twenty or thirty yellow peach trees this year. If they all survive and grow well, I'll send you some more trees by this time next year."
"Thank you so much."
Ye Beixiu bowed to Old Zhang, who quickly helped him up. "I don't deserve it, I really don't deserve it. When I came here, the old lady specifically told me to do my job well."
After seeing that all the fruit trees he planted had survived, Lao Zhang returned to Qingfeng City.
The honeysuckle on the mountain has also bloomed, and Ye Beixiu took Qin Eryong and others to pick some and bring them back.
When Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu went to the town, they sold it to Li Yidonggang.
Li Yidong specifically instructed, "If you have other medicinal herbs in the mountains, bring them to sell. We don't have any outsiders, so we'll give you the highest price. Don't worry about that."
Zhang Juexia couldn't help but ask Li Yidong, "Doctor Liu, is there any news?"
"My senior brother is in the county town now and probably has no plans to go out in the near future. He originally wanted to come and see you, but he took too long to rest recently and has too many patients seeking his treatment, so he is too busy for the time being."
Zhang Juexia said he understood, "He can't leave, so let's go see him. Shunhe County isn't far away anyway."
After leaving Li’s Pharmacy, Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu went to Shengxia Embroidery Workshop.
Li Xi saw them and hurried over to greet them, "Boss, the furs shipped from Qingfeng City have been received and inspected and put into the warehouse."
"Shopkeeper Li, we have to preserve these furs well so we can sell them for a good price in winter."
"I understand this without the boss telling me. But what I don't understand is how the boss can still buy these furs at this time?"
Zhang Juexia then told Li Xi about his encounter with the Chen merchant Chu Jinnian. Li Xi said, "It seems this man really has something urgent at home, otherwise he wouldn't sell these furs to us so cheaply. However, this is also a good fortune for the owner!"
Li Xi's words were indeed pleasing, and Zhang Juexia felt very happy after hearing them.
"Boss, have you ever considered opening a shop in Qingfeng City?"
Zhang Juexia waved her hands repeatedly, "Shopkeeper Li, my husband and I were strolling around Qingfeng City and asked about the housing prices. We can't afford it! Let's wait until we have more money!"
"That's easy. Let's run the Shengxia Embroidery Shop well and earn more money. Then we can open a shop in Shunhe County first and then consider Qingfeng City."
Shopkeeper Yao was at the door of his shop when he saw Zhang Juexia's carriage. He finished his work and ran over.
"When did you come back?"
"I've been back for several days. I've been busy with family matters and haven't been to town."
"It's mainly because your shopkeeper Li is capable and you don't have to worry about anything. Otherwise, if you were busy, would you still go back today?"
"I should go back. It's a busy time at home now."
When Shopkeeper Yao heard that Zhang Juexia wanted to go back, he pulled her towards her backyard and said, "Since you're going back, let's talk now. If you don't come back, I won't even have anyone to talk to."
"There are so many people in your shop, why is no one talking to you?"
"That's different."
Shopkeeper Yao made tea for Zhang Juexia and brought it to him. "During the few days you were away, something big happened in the town. Guess what it is. I want to see if you can guess it."
Zhang Juexia frowned. "This is really a bit difficult. There are so many families in this town. How can I guess? You have to give me some clues!"
"Just start by guessing from the people around you. You know this person anyway."
"You? Suyun, or a member of the Zhao family?"
"Guess again!"
"I really can't guess. My brain can only hold so much. Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me!"
"You're so stupid! My clues are so obvious, yet you still can't guess. Eighth Concubine of the Li Family, now you understand, don't you?"
"Why did she give birth? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Alas, you are all concerned about whether it is a boy or a girl, why don't you think about whether she can give birth to the child?"
Zhang Juexia's heart skipped a beat. "Did something really happen?"
"I heard that she did give birth to a premature baby boy, but he didn't survive the next day."
Zhang Juexia collapsed backwards, "What a pity."
"All the doctors in town were invited to the Li family that day, but they couldn't save the child."
"How's Zhang Qiuye's health?"
