Chapter 621 Why is it so difficult to leave the city?
Zhang Juexia didn't want to get involved in their family's affairs anymore, so she pointed inside and said, "Mrs. Chen, it's better to let Master Chen tell you this."
Seeing that there was nothing for them to do here, she turned around and asked Ye Beixiu, "Let's hurry on!"
Ye Beixiu nodded, and he also pointed to the inner room and said to Ren Xiaoyao, "Brother Ren, please don't hold back your words later. It's not easy for us to earn money, not to mention that the Chen family is not short of this little money."
Ren Xiaoyao patted his chest happily, "Brother Ye, don't worry, I'm the best at this kind of thing."
"Since Brother Ren is good at it, then we can go back without any worries! My wife, let's go. Why is it so difficult for us to go home?"
After Ren Xiaoyao sent them away, Mrs. Chen was left alone in the room, wiping her tears and in a daze.
Mrs. Chen really didn't know what was going on. The two people in the room had gone from arguing at the beginning to being eerily quiet now, but she didn't dare to take a step inside. After all, no one asked her to come in.
After Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia sat firmly in the carriage, Lin Yuan asked Ye Beixiu, "Master, how about we wait a little longer?"
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
"But I always feel uneasy. What if something happens again and we have to go back the same way?
Not only are we tired, even the horses are tired!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. We just need to leave Qingfeng City. Even if they catch up with us, we don't care."
Lin Yuan replied without confidence, "Then let's go!"
Across from him, Shen Liang quickly jumped off the carriage, shouting, "Lin Yuan, wait a moment, I have something to say to my wife."
Lin Yuan simply put down the whip in his hand and said, "I told you, it's not that easy to leave the city."
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu leaned out of the carriage at the same time, "What happened to Chen Liang?"
Chen Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and chuckled, "Master, Madam, you didn't even wait for me when you returned to Shunhe County. I haven't seen you off yet!"
"What's there to give as a gift? It's not like we'll be gone forever."
"Shen Liang, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Beixiu, who usually appears gentle, was a little anxious this time, and his tone when speaking to Shen Liang unconsciously became heavier.
Shen Liang looked at Ye Beixiu, then at Zhang Juexia, "Master, I want to talk to my wife alone."
"What kind of words do you need to say behind people's backs?"
Shen Liang's face flushed with embarrassment, and he couldn't utter a word after holding it in for a long time.
Zhang Juexia quickly thought of Zhang Xiuer's matter, so she asked Ye Beixiu to help her get off the carriage. She and Shen Liang found a corner, "Shen Liang, can we talk now?"
After Shen Liang stammered for a while, Zhang Juexia laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, "I thought it was a big deal, but you still need to discuss this with me for such a small matter."
Shen Liang scratched his forehead and said, “Madam, this is a small matter for you, but it is a big matter for me.
After I listened to your words that day, I bought some gifts and went to Zhang's house.
I didn't see Zhang Xiuer at that time, but her grandfather, her parents were all at home and they talked to me for a long time.
I don’t remember how I performed that day. Anyway, my mind was blank when I came back.
I thought it was hopeless, but just now they sent someone to tell me to find a good day to propose marriage.
Madam, I am really anxious. I can't do this job of proposing marriage without you!
Otherwise, you and the master can come back in a few days and help me finish the most important thing in my life before you come back!"
Zhang Juexia found Shen Liang's words both funny and infuriating. She reached out and tapped Shen Liang on the forehead, "Proposing marriage is what matchmakers do. You just need to prepare the betrothal gifts.
The remaining matters are between your two families, so you can handle them as you see fit."
"But with you, Madam, in charge, I'm not worried!"
"Why? Are you still in contact with that Ma Xiaomei?"
Shen Liang was so anxious that he turned around in circles. "Madam, swear to God, I haven't seen Ma Xiaomei since I made things clear with her that day. Besides, she's married now. I...
Madam, who do you think I am? Since I am about to discuss marriage with Zhang Xiuer, I will treat Zhang Xiuer wholeheartedly in the future.
Besides, the first request the Zhang family made to me was that I was not allowed to take concubines. At that time, I didn't hesitate at all and agreed directly."
"If you don't respond, people may not like you.
Chen Liang, you must remember what you said. If you do anything to let Zhang Xiuer down in the future, I will be the first one to blame you.
You are the matchmaker arranged by Old Madam Shen, remember that."
Shen Liang nodded seriously, “Madam, I have remembered your words, so do you want to wait until I finish my business before returning to Shunhe County?”
"Chen Liang, I've made it very clear just now. You don't need me for the rest. If you're short of money, just withdraw it from the account.
Look at my belly, it's getting bigger day by day, so please don't make things difficult for me."
Shen Liang felt that what Zhang Juexia said was right, but he just wanted her to stay.
"How about this, you go to the Zhang family happily and make your bet. If you really encounter any problems, you can go to Madam Shen.
When you get married and I have a baby, we can all come to your wedding, how about that? "
"Oh well!"
Shen Liang trotted a few steps, helped Lin Yuan turn the carriage around, and walked them more than ten meters. He looked at Zhang Juexia with red eyes, "Madam, don't worry, I will take care of the business here. If there is anything, I will contact you in time by letter.
If I encounter a particularly urgent matter, I will discuss it with Madam Shen.
When you go back, take good care of your baby and yourself."
"I understand, go back quickly!"
Chen Liang reluctantly saw Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu off, then stood there for a long while before leaving.
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu successfully left the gate of Qingfeng City. Even Li Xi, who was sitting in the carriage behind them, breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Juexia looked at the gate of Qingfeng City from the carriage and asked Ye Beixiu, "Ye Beixiu, how are you feeling now?"
"My lady, why shouldn't I feel anything? Just like you said, it's not like we won't be coming back!"
"I'm asking you, you passed the provincial examination successfully, and when you returned home, you were already a Juren. Don't you feel like you've returned home in glory?"
"Ma'am, do you want to hear the truth?"
"Of course I want to hear the truth."
“I did feel that way in the first few days after I passed the exam.
But ever since I had that heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Shen, it’s gone.”
"Why?"
"Because there are many people in this world who are more powerful than me! Besides, I just luckily participated in the martial arts imperial examination.
Also, without my wife's financial support, I wouldn't be where I am today."
