After the defeat of the Zhan family, many of their subordinates had dispersed.
Those who stayed behind, either sold their bodies to the Zhan family, or were like Huang Juan, who was loyal to me.
Suddenly, everyone was called to the flower hall, feeling insecure.
"Huang Juan," the old man said.
Huang Juan handed over a few pieces of paper.
These were indentures, and were usually carried by the maid Huang Juan.
It was neither taken away by Shen Zhaozhao nor by the confiscators.
"The Zhan family will soon be exiled to Mobei. The journey is dangerous. I would like to thank everyone for their care."
The old man took out the indentures, read out the names one by one, and delivered the indentures to the corresponding persons one by one.
"There is no other valuables in the house. When we leave, take away whatever you find useful."
The people present looked at the indenture in their hands, and later realized that the relationship between master and servant was over.
"Old lady, I won't leave," a maid who had been following the old lady started crying.
She was sold to the Zhan family by her gambler father.
The name says it's a low one.
In fact, the old lady was very kind, and her life as a maid was better than that of a young lady from a commoner family.
Moreover, she was protected by the old lady. Her gambling father came to her to ask for money many times, but was always chased away by the old lady.
Now, ask her to leave.
Where can she go?
Going home?
Her gambling father will sell her off again.
By then, you may not be able to meet a good family like the Zhan family.
"Sister Huang Juan, please persuade the old lady not to send 놖녈 away. 놖 can do a lot of things."
The cook who had scolded the pot thief yesterday also wiped away tears, "Old lady, 놖 has been a cook in the Zhan family kitchen since she was old enough to understand. Please let 놖 go with you to Mobei."
Some of them don't want to leave either.
The old lady looked at these loyal servants, appealed to their emotions and reasoned with them, but was able to persuade only some of them to leave.
The rest of them refused to leave no matter what.
Even, under the leadership of Huang Juan, they knelt at the old man's feet.
"What are you doing here?" The old man sighed. "The weather in Mobei is freezing, and the journey is hard. You stay in the capital, so you can at least survive."
If I follow them, I'm afraid I'll lose my life halfway.
Shen Zhaozhao watched, moved by the deep love between master and servant of the Zhan family.
In her time, a nanny could get by as long as she didn't set fire to the master's family.
"Old man, let us go with you. We can take care of you on the way." Huang Juan knelt and begged.
"No, I won't take you with me, and the journey is dangerous. Besides, we don't have any money. What will this family eat on the road?"
The old man sighed.
Shen Zhaozhao looked at the loyal servants kneeling on the bed and spoke.
"Grandma, I still have some of the dowry I brought hidden."
"Your husband's legs are inconvenient and he needs to be carried by someone. You are also old, so you really need a few people to help you."
In fact, the money in her space now was enough for everyone to take away without any problem.
However, the origin is not right.
She should be more low-key.
It was naturally not easy for the old man to ask the granddaughter-in-law who had just married in for money, and he refused for a long time, but he couldn't stand Shen Zhaozhao's soft but strong attitude.
I could only nod in agreement.
I didn't bring any more.
Just let Huang Juan follow.
In addition to this, he also brought along the cook and the two servants beside Zhan Nanxing.
Huang Ye is Huang Juan's younger brother.
Another housekeeper's son, a tie.
They all followed Zhan Nanxing since they were young, had been on the battlefield with him, and had a life-and-death friendship with him.
As for the others who were willing to leave, Shen Zhaozhao did not allow them to take away the Zhan family's belongings, and only said that some severance pay would be taken from her dowry.
Those who are unwilling to leave, once they leave, the General's Mansion where the Zhan family lives now will be sealed up, and they will not be able to live there.
These are the most difficult to arrange.
They are very loyal, for example, the butler Zhan Feng, who followed the old general through life and death, and became a butler because of an injury.
There was a little maid whose father was a gambler. If she was allowed to go home, he would send her to prison.
Let them leave, you can't.
It is also unrealistic to ask them to follow.
Shen Zhaozhao could easily pay for a deed herself and let them stay in the farm that was part of her dowry.
She thought about it and decided not to take on too much responsibility herself, but looked at her two sisters-in-law, Guo and Lin.
"Are your two sisters-in-law's families still short of helpers?"
Guo's eyes lit up, "The 놖 family has a wide business, if you are willing, you can go to the 놖 family shop to help."
Lin's family also has a lot of shops and land.
Regarding the Zhan family incident this time, my mother's family can avoid suspicion, but it is completely possible to arrange some follow-up measures.
"The rest of you will go to my mother's farm to help with some work."
Lin nodded in agreement.
Shen Zhaozhao clapped his hands happily: "Thanks to the two sisters-in-law, without you, I don't know what to do!"
Shen Zhaozhao arranged the whereabouts of his subordinates in just a few words.
Not only did he not take any credit for it, he also pushed all the credit onto the Lin and Guo families.
This ability and magnanimity made me look at him with new eyes.
After Shen Zhaozhao left, the old man glanced at the eldest granddaughter-in-law Lin and the granddaughter-in-law Guo beside him.
"If any of your brothers and sisters are capable, the old man will not perish and will fight for the family."
Lin was born into a family of prime ministers and had been well-informed since childhood.
He also had high praise for Shen Zhaozhao.
In the scene just now, we had to take into account the reality of exile, the feelings of these old servants, and even her, Mrs. Guo, was taken into consideration.
"Yes, our sister-in-law is quite a good person." Guo always spoke quickly.
"Our third brother is blessed."
Mr. Zhan felt much more relieved and was about to go back to his room to rest when he heard a faint sigh beside him.
My scalp went numb.
"My husband is not here, and there is not even a maid left to serve you..."
Yang lowered her head and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.
Zhan Zhiyao's two sisters-in-law exchanged helpless looks and hurried to comfort their mother.
"Mother, the few children I brought with me are all the money for my third sister-in-law's dowry."
You can't ask the third sister-in-law to give mother-in-law more, right?
No one in this family has the face to ask this!
Yang cried sadly.
"You know, you look down on me..."
BANG——
Old Man Zhan slammed his palm on the table, startling his two granddaughters-in-law.
Yang's crying was also frightened and she looked at her mother-in-law timidly.
"If you want to bring a maid to serve you, go ask Zhao Zhao yourself. If you have the nerve to ask, I will admire you too!"
After saying this, the old man supported Huang Juan and left first.
Lin and Guo followed closely behind.
In the flower hall, Yang was left with tears in her eyes. She was so frightened by the old man's palm that she couldn't even cry.
Zhan Zhiyao sighed: "Mom, Dad is not here, there is no point in you crying, please stop crying."
When her husband was mentioned, Yang became overwhelmed with sadness.
Crying again.
The sound of crying came from the flower hall, and before Mr. Zhan had walked far, he felt a tightness in his chest.
"My old man, my husband has always been like that, don't take it to heart." Huang Juan comforted her.
The old man shook his head.
"The one who wants to kill our whole family doesn't even know who she is, but she's already thinking about not having anyone to serve her."
"How is she going to make it to Mobei like this?"
Huang Juan hurried to comfort her.
"Just leave your husband alone and look at your three granddaughters-in-law more often. They all make you happy."
The old lady also knew that Yang was not in a good mood, so she asked about the relationship between Shen Zhaozhao and Zhan Nanxing.
No matter how much she liked Zhao Zhao, for a woman to have an easy life, she had to be able to live with her husband.
However, she didn't expect that Huang Juan would stop talking when she brought up this topic.
The old man has sharp eyes and his face darkened immediately.
