The reason why I want to go to Hejing is not because the Li family wants to go to Hejing, but because of the large amount of wealth and talents that the Li family has brought with them.
Liang Jun has been thinking about one person these days, and that is Shen Lie whom he saw behind Dongping Academy that day.
The so-called glimpse, the young man in the snow that day left a deep impression on Liang Jun. In addition, Song Qingtang treated him differently, which made Liang Jun even more curious and wanted to make friends.
Here, Liang Jun still has a confusion. Shen Lie appeared at Dongping Academy that day. So, who was "Shen Lie" who was taken to Hejing by the emperor?
No matter who he is, he must be related to Zhen Shen Lie. Now Zhen Shen Lie is nowhere to be found. He went to Guo Mansion several times to find no one, so he simply went to He Jing to try his luck. Anyway, He Jing still has him as a good friend. 's other friends are here.
Accompanying Wei Chaosheng from dawn to dusk, it was finally their turn.
Dozens of bright lights hung high in the shop, like daylight. The number of people in the lobby increased instead of decreasing. Many people knew each other and were particularly eloquent. The whole lobby was noisy.
Liang Jun and Wei Chaosheng followed a waiter, who led them to the backyard.
When Wei Chaosheng realized that he was not going upstairs, he asked out of curiosity. The waiter turned around and said with a smile, "Our boss has been bored in the room all day and went to the backyard to enjoy some fresh air."
Wei Chaosheng nodded and said, "Madam, you have worked hard these days."
"Haha! Yes, yes." said the guy.
Liang Jun noticed that the waiter was in a good mood and couldn't help but look at him more. He saw that the shoes on his feet looked like a new pair of shoes.
Thinking back to the stewards and clerks I met in the lobby today, they all seemed to be cleanly dressed and had plain shoes. They didn't look like they were living in troubled times.
The aroma of rice in the backyard was strong, and a big pot of rice was being cooked. A lot of wine was also brought out to give to the thugs who had been standing in the dark.
Wei Chao became famous and said, "Where's Mrs. Zhao?"
"It's time to go for a walk over there," the waiter also looked around and said, "You two gentlemen, please wait here while I go look for you."
"Okay." Wei Chaosheng responded.
Seeing the waiter turn around and run away, Liang Jun sighed and said, "How can Mrs. Zhao get so much money?"
"Haha," Wei Chaosheng laughed, "other people's money and other people's affairs are none of his business!"
"It's really not easy for a woman to achieve such a reputation in such a short time. I admire her," Liang Jun said.
"What you said is absolutely true," Wei Chao nodded and said, "There are so many merchants in Taipingju, and Madam Zhao is the most efficient and straightforward among them. Doing business with her is extremely enjoyable."
The two people were talking here, while on the other side, Zai Chun carried a large bundle of chopped firewood into the woodshed. When he came out, he saw two handsome young men still there.
The clearing dusk was very beautiful, and the two wealthy young men were chatting and laughing under the eaves. This scene was really moving.
Zaichun rubbed her hands on her skirt and coat, feeling unwilling to do so.
From the day after Zhao Ning was assassinated, she almost never left the backyard. It was not that she actively wanted to stay, but the cooks from the backyard suppressed her.
Although Manager Chu didn't say anything, Zai Chun knew that Zhao Ning must have said something to Manager Chu, otherwise how could these cooks dare based on her status as Zhao Ning's maid.
It would be better to...be driven away.
Now like this, I can't escape, I can't go back, and I'm being watched and doing things here every day. This feeling is unbearable.
As for these two noble gentlemen, when she was following Zhao Ning every day, she didn't know how many such gentlemen she would encounter. Now, suddenly, it was like there was a huge ravine, completely separating her from them.
.
Zai Chun felt sad, glanced at them reluctantly, turned around and continued working, fearing that they would see him in a miserable state.
"My boss," Manager Chu looked at Zai Chun's leaving figure and said softly, "She doesn't seem to have made any more moves."
Zhao Ning looked at Zai Chun and said calmly: "Yes, there will be. If not, just create opportunities for her so that she can."
They were standing in the courtyard on the other side, with large snow-covered branches in front of them, making them extremely hidden.
"My boss, I don't understand," Manager Chu said, "What exactly do you want her to do?"
"Be a chess piece," Zhao Ning said softly, "Only those who are well-behaved are well-behaved, and those with shortcomings can be better utilized."
Manager Chu was slightly stunned, hearing these words was a bit chilling.
"My boss," Manager Chu didn't like to be secretive and said directly, "When you brought Zaichun to the capital, did you want to take advantage of her? However, you also taught her reading, literacy, and accounting. I thought you were really right.
How is she?"
Zhao Ning looked at the miscellaneous room where Zai Chun disappeared and said, "Yeah."
Manager Chu knew her well and understood that she said "hmm" but didn't want to answer.
Zhao Ning gently raised his hand and covered it on his lower abdomen.
Her health is getting worse and worse, her recovery speed is extremely slow, and her wounds are still hurting.
When she wanted to use Zai Chun to help her deal with the Zhao family, she was not necessarily harming Zai Chun. This was two different things from teaching Zai Chun how to read and write.
Zai Chun left her hometown with her, thousands of miles away, so she wanted to pave a way for Zai Chun to make a living in the future. No matter what, it would be better for her to continue to be a little maid in the Zhao family, being ordered around and bullied by her master and the older maids.
The reason why Zai Chun was chosen at that time was because of Zai Chun's "shortcomings". Now that Zai Chun was pushed to the edge of the knife and almost died, Zhao Ning was thinking, could this be called "backlash"?
"Help me choose a clever little girl tomorrow," Zhao Ning said, "name her Yiqiu."
"Yes." Manager Chu nodded.
Judging from the name, Zhao Ning is about to take a strong dose of medicine for Zai Chun.
After a pause, Zhao Ning said again: "Be good."
"Yes," Manager Chu agreed, "Don't worry, boss."
Not to mention the current world, even in the Taiping years, if a God of Wealth wanted to find a well-behaved little maid, it would not be like a bunch of people fighting to get him.
"Let's go," Zhao Ning turned around and walked towards Wei Chaosheng and Liang Jun who were still standing under the eaves, and said, "They are still waiting for me."
When Zaichun came out of the miscellaneous room, he happened to see Wei Chaosheng and Liang Jun leaving with Zhao Ning.
Looking at Zhao Ning's back, Zai Chun bit his lip and his eyes turned resentful.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Zai Chun quickly averted his eyes, held the things in his arms and walked towards the other side with his head down.
"You're lazy again, you're like a loser!" Chef Liu shouted, "Can't you be more agile with your hands and feet? I haven't given you food to eat? You look like a weak and vulnerable person all day long, with dirty hooves!"
This, this is a direct insult to her!
Zaichun's eyes were red, he didn't dare to reply, he walked quickly with his head lowered.
After entering the woodshed, she closed the door, leaned against the door and sobbed, but did not dare to cry loudly.
