Chapter 963 Persuasion
Lihua received the order and quickly came in, supporting a white-haired, plump old lady. Old Madam Shen stood up first and said to Zhang Juexia, "This is the Old Madam Zhang I told you about."
Zhang Juexia bowed to Madam Zhang and said, "Hello, Madam Zhang!"
Mrs. Zhang smiled and nodded.
Madam Shen then introduced Zhang Juexia to Madam Zhang, "Old sister, this is Zhang Juexia. Her husband's surname is Ye. Let me tell you, her husband passed the military examination at such a young age!
However, this girl should not be underestimated. She already owns several shops in Qingfeng City, and she also has many businesses in other places."
Madam Zhang had already taken her seat. She squinted her eyes as she looked at Zhang Juexia, "Wan'er, among all of us sisters, you are the only one who is blessed.
I didn't believe it before, but now I do. You are so old, yet you have made such a beautiful and young friend regardless of age difference.
The most important thing is that he is as capable as you. I am really enviable!
Why don't I have such a good life as you?"
Madam Shen laughed so hard that her eyes were invisible. She pointed at Madam Zhang and said, "I'm telling you, don't say nice things to me. It's useless.
The girl has agreed to buy your farm, so you have to give her a bit more on the price."
When Mrs. Zhang heard what Mrs. Shen said, she was so surprised!
Her eyes couldn't help but glance towards Zhang Juexia again. She had no choice but to come to the Shen Mansion and speak.
After all, looking across the entire Qingfeng City, there are very few people who can come up with 10,000 taels of silver in cash to buy her farm.
In recent years, since Madam Shen’s second son became an official in Beijing, the Shen family’s status in Qingfeng City has risen rapidly.
Old Madam Zhang was able to come to the door with such a thick face because of her long-term friendship with Old Madam Shen.
As soon as she explained the reason, Madam Shen kept someone there and told her to wait patiently, saying that she could help her find someone to buy the farm.
She thought this was Madam Shen's delaying tactic, and couldn't bear to offend her, so she pretended to be helpful and then found a reason to turn it down.
But Madam Zhang couldn't think of a better solution at the moment, so she listened to Madam Shen's words and went to the inner room to wait patiently.
Just as she was dozing off in the sun, Lihua came over and called for help.
Old Madam Zhang thought to herself, what a coincidence, the dream is over and I have to face what I have to face.
Madam Shen looked at Madam Zhang and coughed dryly, "Old sister, why are you acting so stupid when I'm talking to you about the price?
I tell you, this shouldn’t happen!
Given our friendship, you should agree to it readily."
Madam Zhang finally came to her senses. She leaned towards Madam Shen and reached out to pull Madam Shen, "Wan'er, let me tell you, we are all old now, and we can't stand being scared!
What you said just now, was it true?"
Madam Shen patted Madam Zhang's hand and said, "We have been sisters for many years, how could I tell a lie?
My dear sister, apart from anything else, I still remember clearly the help you gave me back then.
Now that we are old and no longer in charge, we move around less often. However, I, Liu Wan, am not the kind of person who goes back on my word."
Madam Shen tilted her head towards Zhang Juexia and said, "Girl, I have said everything I need to say. The rest is up to you and Madam Zhang."
After hearing what Madam Shen said, Zhang Juexia stood up and bowed, "Madam Zhang, Madam Shen is right. I do want to buy your farm, but I don't know if it would be convenient for you to take me to have a look. After all, I need to see it first before I pay the money."
After hearing what Zhang Juexia said, Mrs. Zhang no longer doubted it and smiled brightly, "Good boy, it's a good idea to buy something without taking a look. Let's go take a look now."
Seeing how happy Mrs. Zhang was, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but shake her head. "Old sister, it's really necessary for you to go there in person just to take a look."
Madam Zhang stroked her forehead with her hand, "Oh, Wan'er, please don't blame me, I'm really too happy.
Good boy, I will let the housekeeper accompany you right away. I tell you, you will definitely be satisfied after you go there.
If it weren't for my granddaughter marrying into a wealthy family and wanting her in-laws to look up to her, I really wouldn't be willing to sell it."
Madam Shen noticed the desolation in Madam Zhang's eyes and began to persuade her, "Old sister, don't think like that. We are so old now, and I'm afraid we can't take these things away with us.
It would be better to give it to the children who need it, and they will also think well of us."
"That's the truth, but..."
Madam Zhang shook her head and sighed, "My granddaughter and I are the ones who get along best with each other. I've been watching her since she was a child, so I'm happy that she's married well.
I was thinking, I'll move this farm from Qingfeng City to the capital for her, so that if she ever gets unhappy, she'll have a place to relax."
Old Madam Shen also sighed, "Each of these children is the apple of our eyes. We just hope that they are all well."
"That's right."
"Okay, I won't bother you any more. Go and make some arrangements and have someone take the girl to see the farm.
We old sisters haven't had dinner together for a long time. Let's have dinner together and then go to see a play in the afternoon."
Madam Zhang was obviously a little restless, but she didn't want to lose face in front of Madam Shen, so she was thinking about what to say!
Madam Shen seemed to see through her thoughts, "Old sister, let me tell you, Juexia is the most reliable girl.
Don't worry, if she likes this farm today, she will definitely buy it."
Madam Zhang seemed to be shaken by what she said, "Wan'er, it's been a long time since we last met. I'm willing to go all out and spend some quality time with you today."
"That's right. We are already old, so we should enjoy our retirement."
After hearing what Mrs. Shen said, Mrs. Zhang called over the housekeeper Zhang, gave her some instructions, and then asked her to accompany Zhang Juexia to visit the farm.
Zhang Juexia walked out of the gate of Shen Mansion, and then he realized that he was going to do something big!
When she bought Cuiliu Manor, it was only a few thousand taels of silver. This is the first time she has encountered such a large amount of money.
She asked Butler Zhang about the specific location of Zhuangzi, and Butler Zhang told her respectfully.
She had never even heard of this place, let alone been there.
After all, she was not very familiar with Qingfeng City, and she could not figure out anything by following Butler Zhang rashly.
Although Mrs. Shen would not lie to her, she felt that since she went to see it, she had to see it clearly.
She thought for a moment and decided to take Shen Liang and Lin An to take a look.
