Chapter 231: Telepathy
After coming out of Deji Hall, Ye Beixiu was full of worries.
"Don't worry too much. If you want to take part in the martial arts exam, I support you."
"My main concern is... Never mind. For a hunter like me, this is a bit out of reach."
Zhang Juexia was unhappy after hearing what Ye Beixiu said, "What hunter? What's so far-fetched? As long as you want to do it, let's do it now."
Zhang Juexia dragged Ye Beixiu back to Deji Hall. When Liu Mingda saw them coming back, he knew what was going on. "I've thought it through!"
Ye Beixiu nodded solemnly, "I've thought it through."
The man has great ambitions. He also wants to have a good future and provide shelter for his wife and children.
"Okay, come back the day after tomorrow and I'll take you to see the martial arts master."
"Thank you!"
Liu Mingda waved his hand and sent them away. "What's the point of saying thank you or not? It really seems awkward to say that."
Zhang Juexia took Ye Beixiu's hand and said, "What we need to do now is to buy a shop."
Ye Beixiu shook Zhang Juexia's hand vigorously, "Thank you, my lady."
The two men went to the brokerage firm and asked the broker to help them choose several houses. Zhang Juexia finally chose a house that was suitable for both business and living. After some bargaining, he decided on it immediately.
The owner of this house was in a hurry to go out of town, so he gave all the furniture in his house to them.
Zhang Juexia bought bedding and moved to his new home that same day.
Seeing how efficient and effective his wife was, Ye Beixiu felt more and more that he needed to make progress.
Otherwise, it might be just as Liu Mingda said, he would not be able to keep up with her.
Zhang Juexia explained that it was the confidence given to her by the money, otherwise she would not be so generous.
After buying the house, Zhang Juexia bought a few servants through a middleman, three men and three women, a family. They said that their family suffered from drought and they had no choice but to sell themselves.
The man is called Yang Zhi and the woman is called Li Yun, both in their thirties.
The eldest son, Yang Daniu, is sixteen years old; the second son, Yang Erniu, is fourteen years old; the eldest daughter, Taohua, is twelve years old; and the second daughter, Guihua, is ten years old.
Zhang Juexia’s criterion for hiring people is honesty and capability. It doesn’t matter if someone is a little clumsy, just teach them a few more times and they’ll be fine.
It is better than being sneaky and cunning, or bullying the master.
Yang Zhi and Li Yun seemed to be honest and decent people. When they were at the pawnshop, they heard that Zhang Juexia had bought their entire family in one go, and they immediately knelt down, expressing their willingness to work like slaves to repay Zhang Juexia.
Zhang Juexia felt guilty. After all, she had been haggling over the price with the broker for a long time because she wanted to buy all six of them at once.
In the end, the broker reluctantly sold the six of them to Zhang Juexia.
Zhang Juexia first took them and bought two sets of clothes for each of them. He then let them take a bath and change into new clothes before taking them home.
After the introduction, Zhang Juexia discovered that Yang Zhi could actually read and write, and he instantly no longer felt bad about spending the money.
"The younger one attended a private school for two years when he was young and can recognize a few characters. These two boys also learned to read a few characters with me and can read documents without any problems."
Zhang Juexia was puzzled. Since she could read and write, she should have a good life. How did she fall to the point of selling herself?
Li Yun saw the host's doubts and said, "Madam, this is all because of me. If I hadn't fallen ill and drained all our family savings, we wouldn't be in this situation..."
"Yun'er, guard the master's house and don't talk nonsense."
Yang Zhi stopped Li Yun and stopped her from speaking any further.
Li Yun hurriedly lowered his head and apologized to Zhang Juexia.
Yang Daniu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but comfort Li Yun, "Mom, don't be sad, you are well now, and the master and the mistress bought us out today.
Our family doesn't have to be separated, this is a great thing, we should be happy."
Zhang Juexia looked at Yang Daniu with admiration.
The fact that he could say this shows that this family must have a good upbringing.
Zhang Juexia took this opportunity to explain what they would do in the future, "I bought you to open a soap shop, and I will teach you how to make it.
Your indentures are all in my possession. As long as you don't mind your luck, you can share the secret recipe with me."
Yang Zhi pulled the family down to kneel, "Please rest assured, Madam. You saved our family from danger and spared us the pain of separation. We will do our best to serve you, Master."
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Yang Zhi expressed his opinion, and Zhang Juexia pulled their family together.
Ye Beixiu also told them to obey Zhang Juexia's arrangements in the future, and if anyone disobeyed, he would send them to the yamen.
Yang Zhi said he didn't dare.
The next day, Li Yun brought Taohua and Guihua from the kitchen and prepared dinner early.
When Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu woke up, they smelled the fragrance of food.
After seeing them get up, Li Yun brought the food over and said, "Master, Madam, please forgive me for making breakfast with the food in the kitchen."
Zhang Juexia pulled the food in front of him, put it in his mouth and tasted it, "This meal is really well cooked. It's from Yang Zhi's family. We are not a wealthy family, so we don't have so many requirements.
You are welcome to use whatever is in the kitchen.
Wait a minute, I'll give you some more silver and let you take charge of the household and go out with Daniu to buy some things."
Yang Zhi bought the materials needed to make soap as Zhang Juexia requested.
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu worked together to teach Yang Zhi's family how to make soap.
The day passed in a hurry. In the evening, when it was late and quiet, Ye Beixiu felt a little nervous. "I wonder how the martial arts master that Doctor Liu helped me find is doing?"
"It's getting late, go to bed!"
"I can't sleep, my lady, how are you going to arrange for Yang Zhi's family?"
"Let's wait and see. We don't have any goods, so there's no need to rush to open the shop. During this period of time, let them slowly make soap.
When the time is right and Yang Zhi is reliable, I will let him be the manager.
When the time comes, let Li Xi come to the county town for a few days and take him under your wing. As for Da Niu and Er Niu, they will just serve as servants.
Li Yun, her mother, and her two daughters were making soap in the back, and in the evening, the whole family would join in the process.”
"That's what I thought."
"Husband, have you noticed that sometimes we can really think alike about some things?"
"Isn't this what people often call telepathy?"
"Of course. Oh, by the way, let's keep the matter of us buying a shop in the county town a secret from our family!"
"Well, I just think this is not a good idea. If grandpa and grandma find out one day, will they blame us?"
"Grandpa and grandma are both generous people, they shouldn't blame us.
Also, don't mention your intention to take the military imperial examination. It won't be too late to talk about it once you pass it."
