During the Qingming Festival.
Ling Ju followed the Yan family to burn incense for the three children of the Yan family.
The Martyrs' Cemetery is located in a solemn and dignified place, but with excellent feng shui and scenery. When you walk in, you don't feel scared, but rather at peace.
Yan Gaojian revealed to Ling Ju that although they were trying to break free from feudal superstitions, they still privately sought a Feng Shui master when they built the Martyrs' Cemetery.
The original intention is to hope that all the martyrs who sacrificed their lives can be reborn into a good family in the next life.
And their parents will have an easier time in the second half of their lives.
Ling Ju looked at the photo on the tombstone and took out the chrysanthemums and some food she had prepared.
Yan Jinqun and Yan Jintang burned a lot of paper money and gold ingots. During this memorial service, everyone in the Yan family felt relieved.
Having avenged his great hatred, Zhao Qi muttered in front of the three tombstones for a long time until he was tired and left together.
When going down the mountain, Ling Ju finally found an opportunity to ask Yan Jintang about Zheng Yao.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Yan Jintang looked a little uncomfortable.
He pulled her aside and told her the details of the time Zheng Yao rejected him.
Perhaps Zheng Yao was too surprised, and she felt that she had no experience in taking care of people and didn't think she could do it well, so she rejected him.
Later, Yan Jintang went to see Zheng Yao again. This time, Zheng Yao did not directly refuse, but only said that she would consider it.
It just so happened that the last time Zheng Yao went to deliver something to him, he was angry at home about work, and his aunt was scared. Zheng Yao not only went to comfort his aunt, but also made dinner for him.
He felt that the dinner that day was particularly different and delicious, and the combination was also very novel.
It was also his first time to eat dishes like scrambled eggs with black fungus and cold-mixed garlic sprouts. They were delicious and unique.
But he didn't even realize Zheng Yao had come home at that time, and he only found out about it later from what his aunt said.
Ling Ju listened and asked, "What day did this happen?"
"Just a week ago, I was still thinking about whether I should ask her again. But I was worried that she would reject me. I don't know..."
Sometimes the thinking of a virgin is very strange. Although Yan Jintang is older, he is a virgin and has never been in a relationship, so Ling Ju thought that it’s okay to be a little stupid, and she can help ask.
"How about this, I'll go back and ask for you. But first, tell me, did Zheng Yao look impatient when she spoke to you? Or could you sense that she hated you or that she didn't have any special feelings for you?"
Yan Jintang reflected on it carefully. "His attitude was very good. He was very polite and patient."
"Okay, I'll ask for you. And your aunt isn't doing a good job?"
"It's not that bad... It's mainly because she's too timid. She gets scared when I speak a little louder. And I see she's been wanting to leave lately, so I can't force her to stay."
"We'll have to replace her. If she has a heart condition or something, it'll be very troublesome. I'll ask around for you first, and you can also see if there's anyone suitable, in case Zheng Yao isn't willing."
After Ling Ju returned home, he went to Jingfeng to take a look first. He originally thought that the finishing work was not that simple. Even the construction waste had to take a long time to deal with.
There was still a strong smell in the house after the renovation, so she decided to wait until the smell dissipated before opening the business. This way she would have to wait until Qingming Festival.
However, the kitchen and electrical appliances have all been purchased, and even the waiter Sun Jun has been found. Now we just have to wait for the opening.
Now that the house has been aired for over a month, the smell has almost dissipated, and she feels it's time to open the business.
After returning to the courtyard, she asked Zhen Zhen to bring Zheng Yao over.
The two of them found a quiet place and chatted about some family matters and things in the store before she got to the point.
"Sister Yao, what do you think about my fifth brother coming to see you? I heard you said you'd consider it."
Zheng Yao was a little surprised, but quickly replied, "Juzi, I don't really understand why Mr. Yan wants me to go to his house to take care of him. I feel that I'm too young to do the job of serving others. Besides, his aunt has to live in the Yan family, and it doesn't seem appropriate for the two of us, a man and a woman, to be alone."
Ling Ju then realized that she had not thought it through. She really had not changed her mindset and still thought she was living in the 21st century.
"Are you worried about people gossiping about him? Or about you?"
Zheng Yao lowered her head and hesitated for a moment. "I don't care. I've been gossiped about a lot over the years. But Mr. Yan is different. His family is wealthy, and he's a big boss. What if people spread rumors and attack his lifestyle? We only have two mouths, and we can't win against them."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to still be concerned about him. But Sister Yao, your worry is unnecessary. Who would dare to gossip about the Yan family? And you've seen this new aunt he hired. She's around forty years old, not much older than him. If others wanted to say something, wouldn't they just gossip?"
"That's true... But Orange, I just feel... I'm doing fine now, and I don't really want to change..."
Ling Ju looked at Zheng Yao's expression and suddenly realized that Zheng Yao might just be greedy for the current abundant and stable life.
Without her parents and brother to suck her blood, she rarely had peace and quiet.
Forget it, she shouldn't force it.
"That's fine, actually, Fifth Brother came to see you because he heard that you were admitted to Tsinghua University but didn't go. He felt sorry for you. He himself also studied at Tsinghua University, so he also values talent and has a different feeling about you. He thinks you two should have some common topics.
He told me before that if you still want to go to school, he can support you. If you really don't want to go, I will help you refuse and ask him not to bother you in the future.
Zheng Yao felt a strange feeling when she heard Ling Ju say this. "Ju Ju, let me explain. I don't hate Mr. Yan. I just feel I'm not up to the task. But if Mr. Yan needs my help, I won't refuse!"
Ling Ju nodded, "Don't worry, he's not a stingy person. But, Yao Mei'er, you may really need to do him a favor."
"you say?"
"His current aunt has a bad heart, so he needs to find a replacement. But you know he has a lot of requirements, so it might be hard to find one. If he can't find one, there will be a gap for a while. Fifth Brother said your cooking is quite to his taste. If possible, you can help him cook for two days while he can't find an aunt."
Zheng Yao nodded repeatedly, "That's no problem. I remember he'll eat at home tonight. I'm fine with that."
"Okay, then I'll thank you on his behalf. You won't be shortchanged on your wages when the time comes."
Zheng Yao shook her head. "It's okay, Orange. Every time I go to Mr. Yan's house to deliver something to him, he pays me for the errands. It's just cooking two meals. It's nothing."
Ling Ju smiled and said, "Okay."
