Chapter 350 Where does happiness come from?
Old Madam Shen drank half a bowl of mutton noodles with tears in her eyes. If Zhang Juexia had not been worried that she was too old and couldn't sleep well at night, she would have finished the big bowl of mutton noodles.
After eating and drinking, Zhang Juexia suggested walking back.
This was exactly what Mrs. Shen wanted, and they walked all the way back home along the night market along the moat.
In fact, Zhang Juexia had never gone out for a proper stroll since he came to Shunhe County. This time, accompanying Old Madam Shen really broadened his horizons.
It turns out that the night market in Shunhe County is also so lively.
She bought, bought, and bought a lot of delicious and fun things until the maids and servants around her could no longer hold them all. Only then did Mrs. Shen stop.
When I got home, Ye Beixiu had already returned from the Song Mansion.
Li Yun had already told him that Old Madam Shen had come home.
He straightened his clothes and then went into the guest room to greet Old Madam Shen.
Old Madam Shen naturally praised him and encouraged him to work hard and strive to pass the military examination.
Ye Beixiu expressed his opinion again, and then Madam Shen waved her hand and said, "I will return your wife to you today. You can do what you should do tomorrow. Then, let your wife play with me again."
Ye Beixiu bowed respectfully and left with Zhang Juexia.
Zhang Juexia gave Lihua some instructions before he went to rest.
Returning to the bedroom, Ye Beixiu wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. "Every time I see Madam Shen, I feel very stressed and sweat all over."
"It's normal to feel pressure. Madam Shen was also a prominent figure in Qingfeng City when she was young. She has her own aura."
"Madam, do you feel uncomfortable when you are with Madam Shen?"
"No, on the contrary, we get along very well. It's like a friendship between two people of different ages, a feeling of regret that we met too late."
"That's fine! I never thought that I would have her come all the way to congratulate us for just winning the martial arts exam. I really feel bad!"
"I was a little surprised, but considering the old lady's personality, we shouldn't think too much about it. After spending so much time with her, I feel that she is quite casual.
Maybe she just wants to go out, or wants to come to Shunhe County, or maybe she just wants to come to our house. In short, when she comes, we will treat her well.
Just show your full sincerity, don't do those empty things, and treat her as your own elder, and you'll be fine."
"It's that simple! After I heard what Sister Yang said, I was so nervous that my mind was in a mess. I couldn't even think of how to entertain them."
"You can do whatever you need to do tomorrow. I'll just accompany the old lady."
"Um."
Have a good night's sleep.
Zhang Juexia got up early and started working in the kitchen with Li Yun.
Yesterday, she asked Lihua what Old Madam Shen liked to eat. Lihua just said that home-cooked meals would be fine, as Old Madam Shen was not picky about food.
Zhang Juexia prepared wontons, steamed dumplings, porridge, tea eggs, and pickles of several flavors.
After she and Li Yun finished their work, Old Madam Shen also got up.
After she finished washing up, Zhang Juexia brought breakfast to the guest room. "Old Madam, I don't know what your taste is, so I prepared a little of everything. Please try it."
Madam Shen looked at the steaming breakfast and said, "It smells so good. It must taste good."
When she heard that the meal was made by Zhang Juexia, she quickly asked Lihua to pick up a steamed dumpling for her and took a bite. "Hmm, it tastes good, even better than what our chef makes."
Zhang Juexia felt relieved when he saw that Old Madam Shen had eaten some of everything.
"Since the old lady likes it, I will make it for you every day."
"I'm so lucky! Is your husband out?"
"Well, he's already gone out."
"It's a good thing for young people to know how to make progress. I heard yesterday that you were planning to return to your hometown, right?"
Zhang Juexia was stunned for a moment, but did not hide it. "I was originally going to go back. If Manager Sun had come a step later, I'm afraid I would have already left."
"Since you're in such a hurry to go back, something must be wrong at home, right?"
"Yes, there are some things."
"Well, let's put it this way. We visited Shunhe County yesterday and listened to the opera. Do you mind if I go back to the village with you and stay for a few days?"
Zhang Juexia was overjoyed. "Of course I'd love to have you. But the environment at home might not be as good as in the county town. I'm afraid the old lady won't be used to it."
"Have you forgotten where I come from? I've even lived in thatched huts before, so what's there to be uncomfortable about?"
"Then I'll go clean it up right away."
Zhang Juexia was confused. She didn't expect that Old Madam Shen would propose to stay in the village for a few days.
She suddenly remembered what she had promised Mrs. Shen last time.
It can be seen that she has never forgotten it.
She thought for a moment and decided that this time she would have to bring Li Yun with her, as well as Lin Yuan and Daniu. After thinking about it, she felt that it was not appropriate, so she called Yang Zhi and Li Yun to discuss it.
The business in the county town cannot do without Yang Zhi, so he cannot leave. Yang Zhi suggested that Li Yun take Taohua and Guihua, Lin Yuan, Da Niu, and Erniu with him.
"My wife, Madam Shen is an honored guest, and she brought quite a few people with her. We can't go to the village without a few people."
Zhang Juexia listened to Yang Zhi's advice and said, "Okay, take everything with you. Sister Yang, go pack now, we'll be leaving soon."
"become."
Zhang Juexia also went to the bedroom to clean up. After thinking about it, she decided to write a letter to Ye Beixiu, telling him the reason, and when he was resting, she would come back to the village to find them.
When Zhang Juexia had packed up and was about to load his things onto the truck, the county magistrate's advisor, Li Xu, arrived with several officials.
When the servant came in to report, Zhang Juexia was really shocked. She was not familiar with the magistrate's advisor! What was he doing here?
Although she had doubts in her heart, she still put down the work in her hands and asked the servant to bring the person over.
Li Xu grinned as he entered the room, "Congratulations, Mrs. Ye, congratulations, Mrs. Ye!"
Where does the joy come from?
Zhang Juexia felt even more puzzled.
Li Xu waved his hand, and saw several officials standing in a row with trays in their hands, "Mrs. Ye, our Lord Chen has specially reported what you and Mr. Ye did in the village to the prefect.
When the prefect learned about this, he was very pleased and sent someone to bring you a reward."
As Li Xu spoke, he lifted the red cloth on the tray. The white silver made Zhang Juexia feel dizzy.
However, she likes this kind of reward the most. It is so practical!
She bowed and said, "Thank you for the reward, sir."
Li Xu asked her to stand up. "Mrs. Ye, these are what you deserve. No need to be so polite."
Then, he looked around again and lowered his voice, "Your Scholar Ye must prepare well for the provincial examination. Our Master Chen has spoken highly of him in front of the prefect."
