Zhou Qiongyue felt that based on her judgment, the abilities of these two people should be pretty good, but as for their character, she certainly couldn't guarantee it.
She hesitated for a while, but decided to buy it first. If there were any problems later, she would have many ways to solve them. The main reason was that her Taohua Manor was still unmanaged.
The former village head’s body selling contract was in my grandmother’s hands. My grandmother only gave him the land deed of Taohua Manor, so she just let those people go. Now her Taohua Manor still has no village head.
She was quite optimistic about this man named Luo Yong, and felt that he was not the kind of person who was ignorant of the five grains.
Zhou Qiongyue made up her mind and pointed at the two men and said to the matchmaker next to her, "I want both of them."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yu Hai's expectant eyes and added, "I want both Yu Hai's wife and son."
When Yu Hai heard Zhou Qiongyue say this, tears welled up in his eyes. The three of them could finally leave this hellish place. If he worked hard, he could earn enough to pay for his wife and son's medical treatment.
Luo Yong was also very happy. This young lady was obviously from a wealthy family and seemed quite nice. He liked this kind of job with a certain degree of freedom and didn't want to work in a wealthy family's mansion.
It's impossible to say that he didn't hate his former master in his heart. Even clay people have some temper! But given their status, even if they hated him, they couldn't do anything. Who would care about the lives of servants?
So he could only choose to live a good life first, and see if he could wait until his former master's family fell into poverty in this lifetime, so that he could take advantage of their misfortune. If he couldn't wait, he could only say that they were unlucky!
The matchmaker was very happy to hear Zhou Qiongyue's instructions. She could make a lot of money by completing two big deals, so how could she not be happy?
He immediately ordered someone to bring over the indenture and other documents, and then had them taken to the government office for filing. After these were completed, Zhou Qiongyue readily paid the silver.
In fact, she was not so happy in her heart. Just these few people had taken away more than 2,500 taels. She only had 2,000 taels left on her. She had a reasonable suspicion that she had been cheated.
But since they had already bought the items, there was no room for regret. Zhou Qiongyue took the four new items directly to her newly purchased shop.
The four of them solemnly saluted Zhou Qiongyue in the shop yard.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't yell immediately, but calmly drank the tea Gulan handed her. This sweet date and big stick process still needed to be repeated to prevent anyone from having any inappropriate thoughts.
"From now on, just call me Miss. You are my people. We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it. If there is anything we can't solve, just bring this sign to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion to find me.
As long as you are not the one who caused the trouble first, you can rest assured that I will support you.
Although I value a person's ability, I value their loyalty even more. If I find out someone is a traitor, you won't want to know the consequences.
But if you do well, I will not treat you unfairly. If your descendants are capable and want to take the imperial examination, I can also help you."
Zhou Qiongyue promised them that as long as they worked hard, she would not make things difficult for them when they had the chance to redeem themselves.
Because according to the rules, people like them who signed a death contract had no chance to redeem themselves. But Zhou Qiongyue was willing to give them this opportunity. After Zhou Qiongyue said this, Yu Hai and Luo Yong felt even more grateful to her.
They kowtowed three times loudly and vowed that they would be loyal to the lady until death.
"Get up!" Zhou Qiongyue asked Gulan to reward Yu Hai and Luo Yong with ten taels of silver each, and Yu Hai's wife and son each received two taels.
Zhou Qiongyue also signaled Gulan to give the cards of Cheng'en Marquis Mansion to Yu Hai and Luo Yong respectively, so that they could go to Cheng'en Marquis Mansion to ask to see her if they had any problems.
"Our young lady is the eldest daughter of the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion. Your good luck is yet to come." Seeing that they were still a little confused, Gulan took the initiative to stand up and explain to Yu Hai and Luo Yong. Although it was just an explanation, she really thought so.
Yu Hai and Luo Yong were even happier upon hearing this. They were somewhat familiar with Yuan An's nobles. The eldest daughter of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion did have a bright future.
Afterwards, Zhou Qiongyue gave Yu Hai and Luo Yong another 1,000 taels each, and asked Yu Hai to open the grocery store first, and Luo Yong to go to Taohuazhuangzi to take charge of the overall situation.
Zhou Qiongyue also delegated power to them, but the money had to be accounted for, and it had to be pulled out for a walk, whether it was a mule or a horse!
After Zhou Qiongyue arranged all these, she took her people away.
The four of them looked at each other in bewilderment, and it was Yu Hai's wife who spoke first: "What did the young lady not arrange for me and my son to do?"
She was still very frightened because the master did not arrange any work for the mother and son.
Luo Yong had actually gotten to know Yu Hai and his family well in the government office, and now they were all loyal to the same master. Seeing Madam Yu's panic, Luo Yong couldn't help but say comfortingly:
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. First, help Brother Yu open the grocery store, and then take care of the health of you and your son. There will be many things to do in the future!
The young lady hasn't gotten married yet, and she will definitely own countless farms and shops in the future. How can she not be short of people around the future master?
As long as we do our current job well, we will have a good life in the future!"
Ever since Luo Yong learned about Zhou Qiongyue's identity, he knew that he had followed the right person this time. She is the Empress's niece and grew up with the princes as childhood sweethearts. Her future is promising.
At this time, he didn't know that his master had been married to Prince Fu'an, otherwise he would have been even happier.
"Brother Luo is right. As long as we work hard, the lady will always see our good side."
Yu Hai also agreed with Luo Yong's statement. Now they are considered to be among the group of people who followed the master earlier. If they still can't make it, they can't blame others.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't know that Yu Hai and Luo Yong had a friendly exchange after she left. Even if she knew, she wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.
She had been out and about all day, and now, after returning home and having dinner, she dozed off in the rocking chair in the yard. It was a hot day, so Gulan didn't wake Zhou Qiongyue up.
Instead, he took a fan and gently fanned the lady to drive away mosquitoes.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't know how long she had been dozing off. Anyway, when she woke up, she saw someone standing not far from her, and the key point was, it was a man.
She was about to scream, but when she took a closer look, she saw that it seemed to be her fiancé, so she covered her mouth reflexively.
