Chapter 987 Eat happily
Butler Zhang felt so miserable. A servant could only earn one or two taels of silver a month, so he, the butler, was just a decoration.
The question is, can the care and effort put in by a housekeeper be compared to that of a waiter?
Before he could finish his brooding, he heard someone say, "I remember now. The manager of the Shengxia Hot Pot Shop is called Chen Liang. I saw our housekeeper with him the other day."
All of these people looked at Butler Zhang.
Butler Zhang was also confused. Although he was sometimes with Shen Liang these days, there was no friendship between the two of them.
When Chen Liang said that his salary was high that day, he didn't seem to hear it, and always felt that he was bragging. Now, he has shot himself in the foot again.
"Butler Zhang, how about you help us and talk to Steward Shen about this?"
When these people saw that Butler Zhang was just in a daze and didn't say anything, they understood what he was thinking.
"Butler Zhang, we won't let you help us for nothing."
"Yes, although I paid the ransom money, I may not have much money left.
But, don't worry, Steward Zhang. I can earn one tael of silver a month, and I'll give you half of my wages for a year. Is that okay with you?"
"I can do that, too."
"I can do it even better. I only earn fifty coins a month here. Even if I give half to Manager Zhang, I still have five hundred coins left!
Butler Zhang, please plead for us as soon as possible!
Look, there are quite a few of us. Besides, everyone's wages have been reduced. Although you are the housekeeper, considering the old lady's temper, I'm afraid you can't escape.
With the money we give you, I'm sure your life will be better, Steward Zhang."
Butler Zhang wanted to bang his head. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't let go of the benefits that were almost in his hands. He pretended to be reluctant and said, "I'll give it a try!
However, you still have to work hard these few days and don't make things difficult for me in front of the master."
Butler Zhang left with a lot on his mind.
These people looked at Butler Zhang's back and were again puzzled. "Can he do it?"
"I don't know."
"Why don't you ask your fellow townsmen?"
"We'll give you the bonus we promised Steward Zhang when the time comes."
When the benefits are right in front of you, why wouldn’t you accept them? “Okay then!”
Butler Zhang finally found Shen Liang for the silver.
Chen Liang looked at Butler Zhang, squinted his eyes and said, "Butler Zhang came here so quickly, could it be that your master is up to something again?
But let me tell you, we are not as easy to bully as you think.
The matter of Zhuangzi has been settled. The reason why we ignored your master's actions is that she is old and we don't want to argue with her.
Another reason is that our wife is on good terms with Old Madam Shen, so for the sake of Old Madam Shen's face, we will tolerate her for the time being.
But now, it seems that we have no reason to endure.
And you, if you dare to show off in front of me, I will reveal all the good things you have done to your master. What do you think will happen to you?"
Butler Zhang looked at Shen Liang with tears in his eyes, "Butler Shen, it's a misunderstanding. I came here specifically to apologize to you for what happened last time."
"Apologize? I don't believe it, Butler Zhang. I advise you to stay as far away from each other as possible from now on!"
Otherwise, if I'm in a bad mood one day, I might tell you about what you did."
Butler Zhang opened his mouth and wanted to speak.
As a result, Shen Liang yelled loudly, "Get out of here quickly, I feel it's a waste to talk to someone like you."
As expected, Butler Zhang left obediently. He no longer cared about the money that he had not yet received. He was thinking about how to protect himself.
If the old lady knew what he had done, she would probably break his legs first and then kick him out of the house.
How will he live in the future?
Shen Liang patted the dust off his body and said, "Seeing this guy makes me feel bad. I originally wanted to go to the new house to take a look and see if there is anything missing."
Lin An smiled and said, "Butler, you should hurry to the new house. Madam has told us several times to do more work so that you can take time to take care of your own affairs.
Besides, Sister Xiu'er has sent someone to urge us to do it."
"You little bastard..."
Shen Liang left with a smile on his face. Lin An looked at Shen Liang's back and swore to himself, "I will also work hard. Manager Shen is my role model."
Zhang Juexia looked at the deed to Zhangjiazhuang and felt inexplicably happy. She told Li Yun, "Ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes. I'll treat you today."
Li Yun responded with a smile, "When we were in Shunhe County before, everyone was used to it. When I had a good meal, they wouldn't ask me questions.
But here, it’s not possible. After a while, a little girl will come over and ask me why I want more dishes.
Does this cost you a lot of money, Madam?"
"So what do you say?"
"I said our wife is happy, so you guys should enjoy your meal!"
Zhang Juexia was very satisfied with Li Yun's answer, "Sister-in-law Yang, I am indeed happy today."
Li Yun came back soon, and this time she put her left hand behind her in a mysterious manner, "Madam, everyone asked me to thank you on their behalf!
However, Madam has something even happier, how about you guess?"
Zhang Juexia's eyes were fixed on the back of Li Yun, who smiled brightly and winked at her. Zhang Juexia quickly guessed what was going on, "Did my husband send me a letter?
Hurry, Sister Yang, hand over the letter."
Seeing that he could no longer conceal the truth, Li Yun handed the letter to Zhang Juexia, "Madam, this time the master didn't just write one letter, but two!"
Zhang Juexia couldn't wait to open the letter. Of course, when she saw Li Yun waiting eagerly beside her, she still had some reason. She first took out the family letter written by Da Niu and Er Niu to Li Yun, "Sister-in-law Yang, this is for you."
After Li Yun took it, he didn't care about anything else, "Madam, I'm going to read the letter first. If there is anything, we can talk later."
After seeing Li Yun leave, Zhang Juexia spread out the letter written by Ye Beixiu and read it word by word.
Ye Beixiu told her in the letter that they were already in Qinglan City and everything was fine in the city. It was just that the State of Chen had already learned the news from the capital and was ready to make some moves.
But with King Cheng in Qinglan City, there is no need to worry too much.
Zhang Juexia finally felt relieved after seeing this.
However, Ye Beixiu's next words made her worried again.
He told Zhang Juexia that Uncle Liu's patient's condition was extremely difficult and kept recurring, so they might have to stay in Qinglan City for some time.
However, he promised Zhang Juexia that he would write to her whenever he had time.
Telling her not to worry too much about him, Ye Beixiu also asked her to do more of the things she liked.
