Mrs. Su is a widow. She just sent her son to college last month. Wouldn’t it kill her to suddenly lose her source of income?
Shen Yingxue could understand their difficulties. These women were all hard-working and capable, and their hands and feet were nimble. It was thanks to the help of these people that she could open the pastry shop so easily, but going to Zhenjiang Mansion was a sure thing, so Furong The shops in the town couldn't be opened, so they had to be dismissed.
Shen Yingxue explained her difficulties. Although the other ladies were sorry, they had no choice but to collect their wages and go home. In order to compensate, Shen Yingxue gave them an extra month's wages and asked them to find other women. manual labor.
The women no longer had any resentment. The Shen family had done their best to be kind and righteous. The owner wanted to move out, but they couldn't follow. This result was a happy one.
Only Madam Su stood there and hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking.
"Ms. Shen, can I come with you?"
Mrs. Su didn't want to give up this job. She liked cooking, and according to Shen Yingxue's advice, she went to Zhenjiang Mansion to open a shop.
Mrs. Su couldn't help but feel moved. She was a widow and she had no other relatives except her son, so she wanted to leave with Shen Yingxue.
Shen Yingxue didn't expect that she would ask this, but she was happy that Mrs. Su was willing to go with her. After all, Jiang Miao was short of people, and Mrs. Su was already an experienced hand and made good snacks, which was just what she needed. I happily agreed.
"I don't know the situation in Zhenjiang Mansion yet. It's hard to say whether the treatment can be as good as here. If you think about it and still want to go, just follow..."
"Ms. Shen, I am willing!"
Before Shen Yingxue could finish her words, Mrs. Su nodded repeatedly. She believed that Jiang Miao's ability could help the Shen family transform from a poor and poor household to what it is now. Zhenjiang Mansion's business would definitely be the same, let alone Shen Zhuangyuan is still the county magistrate of Zhenjiang Prefecture, so he must not treat them badly.
Mrs. Su has a clear mind and is never ambiguous about important matters. This is why she can live a good life with an orphan and a widowed mother.
"Okay, then you go back and pack your things first, and we'll leave together when we're ready."
"Thank you, Madam Shen. Thank you, Madam Shen. I will go back and clean up..."
Mrs. Su cried with joy. She didn't know that this decision had changed her life's destiny and also affected her son.
Dafang and Shen Yingxue were busy. They brought everything they could. Zhenjiang Mansion was short of everything. If they brought everything, they wouldn't have any trouble getting there. If the oven hadn't been moved, Shen Yingxue would have wanted to move it. Bring it with you.
"Whenever the third child is asked to make another one, just don't touch it. You're just a kid."
Mrs. Zhang couldn't stand it. She had never seen Shen Yingxue so frugal before. This oven was made by Shen Yanqing, so it only cost a few bricks, tiles and sand. If you have the skills, you can make it anywhere, so why worry about this.
Shen Yingxue also knew that she was stingy, so she smiled awkwardly.
"You'll get emotional once you get used to it... Mom is right, I'll let the third child help me make it when the time comes. I'll leave this at home and bake some snacks for you to eat."
"Um."
After three days of busy work, they finally packed up everything. Mrs. Su also made her son drop out of school. Lin Zi was still young and already knew a lot of words, so he learned it at home first.
When she got the chance to go to the academy in Zhenjiang Prefecture, Mrs. Su knew that it was not good to delay her son's studies, but she didn't want to miss the current work, so she could only wrong Lin Zi.
"When we get to Zhenjiang Prefecture, my mother will go find you a husband. Our boss is the number one scholar, and they say that the person who is close to the best is the best. If we get along for a long time, you will definitely be able to get a little bit of my boss's talent..."
Madam Su felt very happy. She made money just to support her son in studying and getting famous. Now that she could work for the Number One Scholar, Madam Su felt very happy.
"Mom, I will study hard and take the top prize in the future!"
Lin Zi was still young and only knew that the No. 1 Scholar was very powerful. He had no idea how difficult it was to take the exam. He was so confident in what he said, which made Madam Su laugh. She touched her son's head with a look of relief on her face.
"Okay, Mom is waiting for you to come back with a top score."
Sitting on the carriage to Zhenjiang Prefecture, the couple were full of hope for the future. They would definitely live well and get better and better.
"Ms. Shen is gone?"
Mother Guo sat up after hearing what the maid said. She never thought that the reason for Guo Zhao's frustration was that Shen Yingxue left Furong Town.
The two were separated by a long distance and had no chance to be together. Guo's mother should have been happy, but she still felt a little sad when she thought of her son's lost state these past few days.
"I just left today, and I watched her carriage leave the city."
Xiaocui also felt bad for her master. Madam Shen was such a good person. She fell in love with her just after seeing her a few times. She didn't blame her master for thinking about her, but it was a pity that the two of them were destined to have nothing to do with each other.
"Hey, you keep this to yourself, don't let me hear it."
Mother Guo reminded in a low voice that although Guo Zhao would know the news of Mrs. Shen's departure sooner or later, Mother Guo felt that she could hide it for a while. Her son finally bloomed, but did not bear fruit as expected, so she would not have to poke wounds. .
"This slave knows..."
As soon as Xiao Cui finished speaking, she saw Guo Zhao coming out of the room with a straight face and no emotion. She didn't know if she had heard what she just said. Xiao Cui felt nervous and quickly stood up to salute.
"Master."
"Ahem, you want to go out?"
Guo's mother was agitated, quickly stopped talking, and glanced at Guo Zhao hastily.
"Well, the county government still has official duties to attend to."
Guo Zhao nodded slightly. If you ignore the fatigue at the moment, he looks no different from usual.
Mother Guo sighed inwardly. She couldn't tell that he was in pain, but the long-term pain was not as good as the short-term pain. It would be better to break it now before he got too deep.
"Let's go out after eating. Xiaocui has already prepared the meal..."
"No, I'm eating outside."
As he said that, he strode away. If Guo's mother had paid attention, she could see that he was walking hastily, and Guo Zhao was confused.
"Hey, this kid, how long can it take him to eat..."
Mother Guo muttered, she lost her appetite after such a fuss.
Guo Zhao walked out of the door with a dull expression and walked to Jiang Ji's door. The shop door was tightly closed, and there was a closure sign on it, indicating that the owner had been gone for a long time and might never come back again.
Guo Zhao's hands and feet were cold. He couldn't believe that Shen Yingxue really left like this without any reluctance. It turned out that it was all his own fault for being sentimental for so long.
Guo Zhao laughed at himself. Maybe in Shen Yingxue's heart, he and Zhou Shui'an were no different. They were both men who pestered her. Maybe leaving was what she wanted.
Guo Zhao took one last look at the shop, then turned and left. Since she wanted to let her go, he chose to let her go.
