The maid rubbed her eyes again, a little surprised.
Since the young lady came back last night, she has been holding this precious document and reading it. The excitement between her brows cannot be concealed.
The maid always felt that something was not right, but she could not tell what was wrong.
So the maid stood outside the door and called softly: "Miss?"
This call made Zhang Jingxiu wake up from a certain emotion, suppressed his smile, and said softly: "Well... get ready, I have to go out early today."
The maid quickly responded: "Yes."
The maid bowed and bowed, then quietly left the lady's boudoir, and hurried to ask the cook to get up and boil water.
Prepare soap and towels and start serving the lady to freshen up.
Standing in the quiet and elegant courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the maid raised her head and looked at the sky. The rooster had just crowed at this moment, and it was at least half an hour before dawn.
Not long after.
The small courtyard became busy with servants coming in and out.
The genius is bright.
The inner residence of the Taishi Mansion.
Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, who had been busy with official duties all night, came out of the study, rubbed his sore forehead and stretched.
As the helm of the Ming Dynasty, the busiest man in the world, it was normal for Zhang Juzheng to stay up all night to deal with official duties.
But as he grew older, the nearly sixty-year-old chief minister of the Ming Dynasty gradually felt that he was unable to do what he wanted. He yawned and hit his sore waist.
Zhang Juzheng walked towards the inner house, but as soon as he entered the half-moon arch, he was almost hit by a person coming towards him.
Zhang Juzheng stretched out his hand and helped the person coming.
Looking at his precious daughter dressed in men's clothing and walking in a hurry, Prime Minister Zhang showed a suspicious look on his majestic face, and said dotingly: "Jing'er..."
But the daughter just gave a perfunctory salute and said hurriedly: "Good morning, Dad, I won't tell you anymore. My daughter has something important to do."
In the blink of an eye, the precious daughter hurried away, leaving only Zhang Juzheng's back.
Zhang Juzheng touched his beard suspiciously and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "This girl...what happy thing has happened to her?"
Mr. Zhang went back to his room to sleep with a puzzled look on his face.
Don't understand.
I don't want to care either.
Nuo's large Zhang family had seven or eight concubines, and they gave him such a precious daughter. He really raised her in the palm of his hand.
Although Jing'er is already in her early twenties and has reached the age to get married, she is unwilling to marry, and Zhang Juzheng is not willing to force it.
Zhang's daughter is a bit willful and likes to run around in men's clothes, but...
Who dares to provoke?
Who dares to say no again!
Half an hour later.
Cheap square.
Zhang Jingxiu did not break his promise. He took Zhang Kui and a few guards to the store early in the morning with aftertaste, and stood aside with a smile and waving a folding fan.
Under the morning light, Zhang Jingxiu watched with a smile as Shen Lie, Aunt Li, Yun'er, the waiter, and several middle-aged women stood in a row.
Shen Lie stood at the front of the team, seemingly resigned to his fate, with a smile on his face and bowed to the big shopkeeper.
Then Shen Lie's expression became clear, he turned around and urged his employees: "What are you still waiting for? Call someone!"
Yun'er and the waiters in the shop hurriedly saluted Miss Zhang and shouted: "Break greetings from the shopkeeper."
Zhang Jingxiu slapped the folding fan freely, waved his hand, and said with a chuckle: "No."
This posture...
It looks very much like the leader who came to inspect.
Shen Lie coughed again seriously and said loudly: "Ahem, please say a few words, the shopkeeper."
Jiang Yun'er, the waiter and others were all a little confused. Shen Lie hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Clap your hands!"
Everyone woke up from a dream and clapped their hands quickly.
Then there was a burst of applause in front of the shop.
Amidst the applause, Zhang Jingxiu smiled slightly, spread her eyebrows, and said softly: "That's not necessary. Jingxiu is a layman in cooking. I will have to rely on you to work harder in the future."
As expected of the daughter of the prime minister's family, these words are really beautiful.
Seeing that the big shopkeeper's lecture was over, Shen Lie lowered his head again and said respectfully: "Big shopkeeper, can you please let us go?"
Zhang Jingxiu nodded.
Shen Lie decisively waved his hand and said loudly: "Disperse!"
So Yun'er supported Aunt Li, walked to the kitchen with several ladies, and began to prepare today's side dishes and soup.
At this moment, everyone, including Shen Lie, heard Miss Zhang's clear and sweet voice again: "Miss Yun'er, please stay."
Yun'er was stunned and had no choice but to stop, turned around, and looked at the elegant and stunning daughter of the Prime Minister's family with wide eyes.
Yun'er said timidly: "What are Mr. Zhang's orders..."
But Zhang Jingxiu was seen pretending to be angry and said displeasedly: "Huh?"
Yun'er came to her senses and quickly changed her words: "Big shopkeeper!"
Zhang Jingxiu then responded with anger and joy, and responded with a smile: "Hey!"
She seemed to be very satisfied with Yun'er's knowledge, so she walked towards Yun'er with light steps, and said with a smile: "Miss Yun'er, come with me."
So a big beauty in men's clothing walked into the store with a little beauty.
But I saw Da Meier in men's clothing digging into the sleeves of her wide Confucian clothes, and as if by magic, she conjured up a gorgeous hairpin, rouge, gouache and other items, and handed them to Yun'er.
Yun'er was shocked and didn't dare to accept it. After all, such a gorgeous hairpin and high-end rouge are not cheap. One look at it and she knew it was a high-end product from the palace of the Prime Minister.
Yun'er was a little scared and said hesitantly: "This..."
But Zhang Jingxiu pretended to be angry and said: "Take it!"
Although Yun'er was worried, she was helpless, so she had no choice but to accept the generous gift obediently, bow her sleeves and bow: "Thank you, the shopkeeper, for the reward."
Shamelessly accepting the gift from the shopkeeper, Yun'er's pretty face felt a little hot. She stared blankly at Zhang Jingxiu and took out a few fifty-tael and ten-tael silver notes from her sleeves.
Then, with his slender green-white hands, he handed the small-denomination bank notes to the waiter, Aunt Li, and several middle-aged women in the inner house with a smile.
Those who see it will have a share, and everyone will be rewarded.
In an instant.
The back kitchen of the entire Biianfang store became lively. Everyone who had received the reward was overjoyed and circled around Miss Zhang like stars over the moon.
Not to mention that the waiter in the shop was beaming after receiving a reward of five taels of silver. Aunt Li and several middle-aged women who helped cook were holding five or ten taels of silver notes in their hands.
I knelt down to Miss Zhang on the spot.
"Ouch."
"Good man!"
All kinds of words of praise were overflowing. Everyone was impressed by the beautiful, kind and generous shopkeeper, and no one paid any attention to Shen Lie standing in the corner.
Suddenly, Shen Lie, who was left out in the cold, became a marginalized person. He could only stand aside and watch Miss Zhang spread money to win over people's hearts.
Even the little maid Yun'er who was loyal to him rebelled and walked around Miss Zhang, her little face smiling like a flower.
Shen Lie was stunned for a moment, with a sad and silly smile on his honest face.
What does it mean?
This is how to win people’s hearts!
At this moment, Shen Lie was on the verge of tears. He was learning the tricks of the prime minister's daughter. As soon as the eldest lady arrived, she used a silver bullet offensive to easily eliminate him as the founder.
Shen Lie looked on innocently.
At this time, Zhang Kui came over, looked at Shen Lie sympathetically, patted Shen Lie on the shoulder, and sighed: "Hey."
That sympathetic look seems to be saying, do you know how powerful my young lady is?
