Chapter 624 Happy
When Manager Yao and Aunt Wang heard the noise, they also ran out of the house. Together, they helped Zhang Juexia get off the carriage and successfully entered the shop.
Li Yiran muttered, "Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?"
"If you don't make it so grand, these people will get wind of it and come here."
"Zhang Juexia, you have no right to speak today, shut up!"
Shopkeeper Yao also complained to Zhang Juexia, "Bei Xiu's success in the imperial examination is such a big deal, and you just brushed it off!
To be honest, if such a good thing happened in our family, I would probably have to hold a three-day banquet.
I am so calm!"
Aunt Wang also echoed, "The boss has passed the imperial examination and will become an official in the future."
"That's right, the atmosphere is completely different now, Zhang Juexia, you're really patient."
Madam Li came out with Li Yingrou. "At first glance, I knew Juexia was someone who could accomplish great things."
Zhang Juexia was amused by their chatter, "If you keep talking, I'm afraid you'll think I'm really an official's wife."
"What are you afraid of? It's you."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Today, Manager Yao directly asked her maid to come to Zhang Juexia's house to work. The maid was very considerate and served tea to everyone.
Then, everyone chatted about family matters.
Only then did Zhang Juexia realize that Li Yingyue was not only busy preparing for her marriage, but she was also helping Li Yingrou with her business.
Li Yingrou has made great progress. At least when everyone is talking, she dares to express her own opinions. She is much better than before.
Madam Li was not surprised at all when she learned that Zhang Juexia had opened two more shops in Qingfeng City and had formed his own caravan. "I knew Juexia could expand his business.
Before I met Juexia, I was obsessed with marrying Yingrou into a wealthy family, so I raised her according to the standards of a lady from a noble family.
But when I saw that Yingyue and Juexia could rely on themselves and live a good life, I changed my mind.
You are clearly capable of living a good life, so why should you rely on others?
So I thought, let Yingrou learn from her two older sisters, at least after I am gone, she can be independent. "
Mrs. Li's words made everyone present nod in agreement.
Li Yiran continued, "I think what Madam Li said is very right.
When I married Liu Sanle, I thought that since he was a scholar, he might pass the imperial examination and then become a Jinshi. Then I would definitely be a government official's wife.
Who knew that in the end it would all be in vain.
Now that I am independent, I feel that my life is much better than before.
As for Liu Sanle, it seems that his life is not as good as mine now.
You have no idea how happy I was after hearing this news.
But, in the final analysis, it was Jue Xia who helped me. Otherwise, if she hadn't helped me run the shop and introduced Manager Yao to me, I wouldn't have known where to start."
Li Yingyue also said some words of thanks to Zhang Juexia, and Zhang Juexia instantly couldn't sit still, "I'm not as good as you say, and besides, you guys helped me, didn't you?
We must help each other in the future and live a good life together."
"Yes, let's live a good life together."
The sound of gongs and drums outside was getting closer. Madam Li said with a smile, "It seems that our scholar has returned home. Why don't we go to the front and join in the fun?"
Shopkeeper Yao picked up the bag on the table and said, "I'm going too."
Zhang Juexia was about to stand up, but was held back by Madam Li, "Juexia, there are too many people up ahead, let Yingyue stay here with you.
We'll be back soon!"
Li Yiran took the bundle from Shopkeeper Yao and said, "Shopkeeper Yao, leave the candy and copper coins to me later!"
"I don't think any of us can do it. Let Timon do it later. He's a smart guy."
When only Li Yingyue and Zhang Juexia were left in the room, Li Yingyue brought up the matter of Qingfeng City. "Lingchuan wrote to me. He told me about his uncle and how he caused trouble for me."
"What trouble is it? I was just thinking that I couldn't leave you alone.
However, through this incident, we can also see what kind of person Shen Lingchuan is. He is a good person and worthy of trust!
How is your dowry preparation going?"
"Everything is ready!"
Li Yingyue lowered her head shyly. "Sister, we came here for your business, but you're talking about me now."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's just getting married! Now that I've said that Shen Lingchuan is a good man, it's worth looking forward to!"
"Since my sister said so, I have nothing to be embarrassed about.
To be honest, I've had enough of staying at home, and I'm looking forward to my married life."
Zhang Juexia asked with concern, "But what happened?"
Li Yingyue shook her head and said, "It's nothing serious. They're just arguing over that little thing every day.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to my aunt's house to seek some peace and quiet."
After all, it was Li Yingyue's private matter, so Zhang Juexia didn't ask too much. He just advised her, "The good days are approaching, so you should be a good bride. After you get married, you will have the final say on your life."
"Well, Shen Lingchuan also informed me in advance that even after we get married, I will have the final say in their family affairs.
But, sister, after his mother caused you that incident, I became afraid again. I am worried that I can't handle the mess in their family."
"What's there to be afraid of? Shen Lingchuan's family is definitely better than mine."
“That’s right!”
"Okay, everything depends on human effort. After you get married, as long as Chen Lingchuan is not confused and always stands by you, you two will be able to live a good life together."
Li Yingyue smiled and said, "I'll listen to you, sister. If I had known earlier, I should have told you what was in my heart earlier."
"You also said that I didn't receive a single letter from you in Qingfeng City."
"I'm just afraid of disturbing you! I promise that when I get married in Qingfeng City, I will write to you often."
Zhang Juexia listened to the bustling sounds outside getting closer and closer, and felt that Ye Beixiu and the others should have entered the yard, so he said to Li Yingyue, "Please remember what you said. I think they should have come in. I'll go and take a look. You, a bride-to-be, just stay here!"
Li Yingyue was worried about Zhang Juexia and insisted on going with him.
Zhang Juexia patted her and said, "Yingyue, this is my home. There's nothing to worry about. I'll go to the living room and wait for them."
Fortunately, Zhang Juexia entered the living room first. Otherwise, looking at the huge crowd of people behind her, she would have given up without even having to squeeze in.
As Ye Beixiu entered the living room, Zhang Juexia saw some of the people he knew and some who he didn't know. In short, he just kept laughing.
By the time she finished greeting these people, she felt her face hurt.
