Chapter 395 The Magistrate's Intentions
Zhang Juexia asked Yang Zhi to send the Xu family's grandparents and grandchildren away, and sat on a chair in the living room, sulking for a while.
This kind of socializing is really annoying and meaningless.
Before she could even warm up her chair, Yang Zhi hurried in again. "Madam, Mr. Li from the county office just sent someone to say that the magistrate and his wife will be home for a visit!"
"Tell them that I'm entertaining merchants from afar and don't have time to greet the magistrate."
"Madam, I said that. But the man said that since you happened to be back in the county today, they were also free, so..."
Zhang Juexia really wanted to curse, but he held back.
"Madam, in fact, during the few days that you and the master were away from the county town, the county magistrate's wife has sent people to ask about you many times."
Zhang Juexia knew in her heart that she couldn't afford to offend the County Magistrate. "Go to Zuixianlou now and inform the master that the County Magistrate is here to visit."
Yang Zhi nodded and ran out.
In the county government office, Chen Ren urged Liu Wanyue to move faster.
Liu Wanyue was indignant. Ever since her master came back from Yejia Village that day, he had been acting so rudely and complaining about her in every word, disliking her for not being warm towards Zhang Juexia.
Isn't it a joke that a country woman from the countryside is asking a county magistrate's wife to condescend to her?
But she couldn't tell this to Chen Ren, so she could only curse Zhang Juexia in her heart.
Chen Ren also told her that if Zhang Juexia returned to the county town in the next few days, she must tell him as soon as possible, and the two of them would go to find Zhang Juexia together.
Although she felt aggrieved, she dared not disobey Chen Ren's words.
As a last resort, he sent people to the Ye family every day to inquire about Zhang Juexia's news.
Today, Chen Ren's men discovered that Zhang Juexia had entered the city and ran to the county government to report it.
Chen Ren sent someone to inform her, and the two of them went to Ye's house together.
In the carriage, Chen Ren once again reminded Liu Wanyue, "When you meet Zhang Juexia, be more enthusiastic.
Isn't she Yingyue's sister? You should recognize her as your niece."
"How can she compare to Yingyue? When she first approached Yingyue, I didn't know what she was thinking.
Master, who are we? How can we just randomly claim to be our relatives? "
Chen Ren gritted his teeth and asked, "Yingyue, can you help me get in touch with the Shen family?"
"Master, what are you talking about? I'm wondering who the Shen family is that makes you so flattering to Zhang Juexia.
Besides, since Zhang Juexia can get on the Shen family's bandwagon, can't we, Master?"
"No, Liu Wanyue, let me tell you, I have been putting up with you for more than just one or two days.
You are so short-sighted, one day...
never mind......."
"No, sir, please tell me clearly, how am I short-sighted, and why do you tolerate me?
I will do whatever you say.
For example, let's go see Zhang Juexia. You said it, so I rushed to do it, didn't I? "
"parking."
The driver stopped the car after hearing Chen Ren's order.
Chen Ren pointed at Liu Wanyue and said, "Since Madam is so embarrassed, why don't you get out of the car?"
"What are you talking about? You told me to get on the bus and I got on, and you told me to get off.
I tell you, Chen Ren, your Chen family was extremely poor back then. If it weren't for my hard work over the years, you wouldn't be where you are today."
The back of Chen Ren's head started to hurt again.
The driver outside did not dare to move forward without Chen Ren's order, "Sir..."
"Let's go!"
Ye Beixiu was drinking with the guests and was in high spirits. When he heard Yang Zhi's report, he was very puzzled.
The magistrate and his wife went to his house. Did the sun rise from the west, or did Yang Zhi hear it wrong?
Yang Zhi said firmly again, "Master, this is correct. Madam asked me to come and inform you. Go home and prepare."
The person serving wine at the table also stopped, happy that he was closest to Ye Beixiu, "Boss Ye, we are old acquaintances, you should go back quickly!
The magistrate is the father and mother of the county. It is such an honor for him to take time out of his busy schedule to visit your home!"
"That's right, Mr. Ye, hurry back! It's more important to accompany the magistrate."
Ye Beixiu stood up and said a few polite words, then called the waiter over and added a few more dishes to express his apology for not being able to accompany him.
After finishing all this, he jumped into the carriage and asked Yang Zhi to go home quickly.
Fortunately, Yang Zhi ran fast and they entered the house before the county magistrate arrived.
Seeing that Ye Beixiu was sweating profusely from running, Zhang Juexia asked him to go to the backyard to wash first, and it would not be too late for him to come out to meet the guests.
Although Chen Ren and Liu Wanyue had a huge argument in the carriage, they became a loving couple after getting off the carriage.
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu had been waiting outside the gate for a long time. After greeting each other, Chen Ren took Ye Beixiu's hand and walked in front.
Later, Liu Wanyue gracefully took Zhang Juexia's hand, and the four of them entered the yard together.
Liu Wanyue asked Zhang Juexia, "Why did you stay in the village for so long?"
Zhang Juexia explained with a smile, "There are a lot of things to do at home, and I need to deal with them first."
"Humph, you heartless girl, you've been out for so long and you don't even miss me, your aunt."
After hearing what Liu Wanyue said, Zhang Juexia felt a little embarrassed.
When she was about to reply, she accidentally saw Liu Wanyue's smug look, as if she was showing off something to Lord Chen Ren.
Zhang Juexia understood that the magistrate and his wife were probably competing with each other!
She just smiled implicitly and said nothing.
The four of them entered the living room, and after some pleasantries, Li Yun came in with some tea.
Chen Ren took a sip of tea and looked at Zhang Juexia, "You and Yingyue are good sisters. Your aunt must be lonely in the back office. You should talk to her more often on weekdays."
Liu Wanyue quickly took over the conversation, "Yes, Juexia, you are all young people, I am willing to talk to you more."
Zhang Juexia still smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
Chen Ren then asked about Ye Beixiu's martial arts and studies, and then talked about business matters.
Ye Beixiu replied very seriously, with a sense of being a businesslike person.
Chen Ren really couldn't bear it anymore, so that day he and his lawyer went to the official road to chase the Shen family's carriage, but they couldn't catch up, so they had to turn around and go back home unwillingly.
"Mrs. Ye, let me ask you something. Was the old lady of the Shen family taken away by the second young master of the Shen family that day?"
"yes!"
"Have you met the second young master of the Shen family?"
"Yes."
"Did Madam Shen say when she would come to Shunhe County again?"
"That's not what I said. Is there anything wrong, sir?"
"Nothing, nothing, I'm just curious. It's a pity that I couldn't host Madam Shen when she came to Shunhe County this time.
When Madam Shen comes to Shunhe County again, I will definitely treat her well."
Chen Ren talked about Old Madam Shen every other sentence, and Zhang Juexia also understood his intention. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he had to bite the bullet and accompany him.
