Chapter 960 Thoughts
Zhang Juexia tilted her head, thinking about what Shen Liang said, and then thought carefully about the interaction between Old Lady Shen and her. Doting, well, the old lady really doted on herself.
She ate the pastry in her hand and the taste was indeed what she liked. She found this very precious.
Therefore, in the future, she will have to be nicer to Old Madam Shen. After all, the older people get, the lonelier they become.
She has to go there more often and talk to her.
Seeing Zhang Juexia staring at the snacks in his hand for a while, then nodding his head, Chen Liang didn't know what to say.
He asked Li Yun for help. Li Yun understood and reached out to pick up the teapot to fill the cup in front of Zhang Juexia with water. "Madam, this cake is delicious, but it has too much sugar. You should drink more water!"
Zhang Juexia finally came back to his senses, "Sister Yang, please go to my room and get the purse on my desk."
Li Yun came back soon and handed the purse to Zhang Juexia. Zhang Juexia opened it, took a look, and then put the purse on the table.
"Sister Yang, go to the kitchen and take care of things. Chen Liang has been with me all day. It won't be too late to let him have dinner before you go."
Li Yun immediately responded with a smile.
Zhang Juexia pushed the purse towards Shen Liang, “This is our gift for your marriage.
Originally, my master and I thought that when you get married, we would give you a house like Li Le did.
But you have already prepared the house, so we won’t send you there.
So, we both thought about it and decided that it would be more practical to give you silver. You can use the silver to make up for whatever you lack!
If you don't need any, then let your wife save it for future use.
Just now you said I was polite, this time, you are not allowed to be polite to me!"
Zhang Juexia had said this much, and Shen Liang seemed to have nothing more to say.
He picked up the purse, opened it and took a look. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but when he did, he was shocked. He quickly threw the purse on the table and said, "Madam, this is impossible. Even if I buy a house in Qingfeng City, it won't cost me that much money!"
"You're so frightening, I told you to stop.
Originally, my husband felt a little bad that he couldn't come to your wedding.
When I came, he specifically asked me to give a generous gift.”
"But, ma'am, this doesn't cost that much money!
These four hundred taels of silver are enough to buy two houses in Qingfeng City."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just keep it to yourself when I tell you to.
Why don’t you think about how much money you have earned for us?”
"Madam, that's not how it's calculated. You've paid me my wages, and they're really not low. Compared to when I was in the Shen Mansion, it's many times more."
“Shen Liang, you are not in the Shen Mansion now, but following me.
You have been working diligently for me, so I will treat you well.
We are all in this together, so don't argue with me about this. Just accept this money!
I tell you, if you don’t accept it, I’ll think you think it’s too little.”
Shen Liang's eyes turned red. He turned his head away and wiped his face with his hand before picking up the purse on the table. "Thank you, Madam."
"Have you found the capable assistant I asked you to look for?"
Zhang Juexia asked this out of the blue, and Shen Liang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Madam had a new idea, or was afraid that I would attract too much attention in Qingfeng City and didn't want me to stay here anymore?
Zhang Juexia seemed to see through Chen Liang's thoughts, "Don't think too much, I don't mean anything else, I just think you are going to get married, and I don't want you to be so busy, so I'll give you a few days off.
Wouldn't it be better if your assistant could help you for a few days?"
Shen Liang was extremely annoyed, feeling that he was being petty again, and quickly told the candidate he was looking for, "Madam, which one do you think I should choose?"
“You can handle your own people, I won’t get involved. Anyway, when you are not around, he will help you with the work.
If you do a good job, it's fine. But if you don't, you'll be the one cleaning up the mess sooner or later."
Shen Liang thought about it and felt that what Zhang Juexia said made sense, "Then I'll go back and think about it."
"Chen Liang, I have one more thing I want to say. There is really no need for us to be too suspicious of each other. You can do it boldly, and I can count the silver in the back without worrying about it."
Shen Liang nodded solemnly.
Li Yun came over to urge for dinner, "Madam, the food is ready, would you like to see it?"
Zhang Juexia stood up and said, "Let's eat first, and then we can talk about things after dinner."
Dinner at Zhang Juexia's house was always light, and she felt full after just a few bites.
After Shen Liang finished eating, Zhang Juexia gave him a few more instructions, "When you go back, you can put other things aside for now, but you have to deal with this person's matter quickly.
I don't want to wait until the day you get married while still busy with business matters. Then, I, as your boss, will be blamed.
Find him quickly, and you can relax for a few days and be a happy groom."
After Shen Liang made his promise to Zhang Juexia, he was about to leave. Zhang Juexia stopped him again and said, "Mrs. Shen asked me to bring back quite a few cakes today. Take some back and let your family taste them."
Zhang Juexia asked Li Yun to prepare it. Li Yun smiled and said, "I guessed a long time ago that Madam would ask Steward Shen to bring back some cakes. They are already prepared. I will go get them."
Shen Liang thanked Zhang Juexia again and again, and left happily with the cakes.
After Shen Liang left, Zhang Juexia told Li Yun, "Let's keep the cakes I brought back from the Shen Mansion for ourselves, and have someone send some to Brother Ren and Li Yiran."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Zhang Juexia rubbed his forehead with his hand, leaned tiredly in the chair and started to daydream.
She was busy today, so she thought less about Ye Beixiu. She just didn't know where they were.
She didn't know if he had written to her. When he left, they had agreed that he would send the letter to Xiaoyao Escort Agency in the future. Chen Liang also helped to arrange it, but she never received the letter.
I don’t know which link went wrong, and when Shen Liang was here, I forgot to ask him.
As Zhang Juexia was thinking, he dozed off on the chair.
When Li Yun came in, he felt very distressed when he saw Zhang Juexia's appearance, and hurried forward to wake her up, "Madam, if you are tired, go to bed and rest!
If you catch a cold, Master Bener will be in trouble."
Zhang Juexia also listened to the advice and reached out to let Li Yun help her. "I don't know why, I've been so tired these past few days. I just sat for a while and I fell asleep."
"Madam, you are also in a bad mood because the master left. I can understand your mood.
But we have to adjust slowly, right? We are so close to the Xiaoyao Escort Agency, why don't we go to the agency tomorrow?"
