As the New Year approaches, the masters are busy and the servants are even busier.
As the general manager of the huge Jingning Uncle Mansion, Zhang San had a lot of chores to coordinate both internally and externally. As soon as he came back from outside, the little maid Yupan came to inform him that his wife had invited him. He did not dare to delay for a moment and was in a hurry.
Went to Mingxi Garden.
"Madam, I wonder what your instructions are to the villain?"
Ye Zhenzhen saw that he was walking in a hurry and there was still unmelted snow on his temples. She knew that he had just come back from outside and said quickly: "No hurry, Jade Pan, quickly bring a clean towel to Mr. Zhang to wipe it."
, it’s almost the Chinese New Year, don’t get infected by the cold.”
Silver charcoal was burning in the room, and the warm temperature made the snowflakes on the temples tend to melt. Zhang San did not refuse, thanked his master gratefully, took the towel handed to him on the jade plate, and specifically exited under the eaves outside.
I wiped the snowflakes off my body before coming back in.
This time he discovered that there were very few maids serving inside, and only Qiu Wu and Yupan were with his wife. He became increasingly uneasy.
Ye Zhenzhen asked Zhang San to sit down and asked the jade tray to bring him a cup of hot tea. However, Zhang San was uneasy and only sat on half of the chair. He only took a small sip of the tea and then put it down, placing his hands neatly on the chair.
On her knees, she was waiting for her master to speak.
Seeing that he was almost rested, Ye Zhenzhen said: "Manager Zhang, from Linxi County to now, it has been almost five years since you came to the Cui family, right?"
Although Zhang San didn't know what Madam's intention was, a look of gratitude still appeared on his face: "It's been five years. The villain was originally just a handyman at a small rouge shop. Thanks to the respect of the husband and Madam, I entrusted the villain with
You have a heavy responsibility and let the villain manage the huge uncle's house. Without you and Lang Jun, the villain would not be where he is today."
Zhang San's gratitude is genuine, and his level of loyalty cannot be overemphasized. This is why Ye Zhenzhen is willing to reuse him - there are many capable managers in the uncle's house, but Zhang San's ability to become the general manager depends on his loyalty and sincerity.
, in all these years, he has never sought any personal gain based on his position, which is something that many managers cannot do.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhenzhen was full of emotions: "You are an old man who has followed us. Over the years, I have only focused on making you better, but have forgotten your life-long events. You are not young anymore, do you have any thoughts in your heart?"
From the perspective of ancient people, Zhang San, who is in his twenties, is indeed not young. His father listened to his stepmother's instigation and wanted to give him to someone as a son-in-law, but Zhang San didn't want to, so he delayed.
The relationship between uncle and uncle remains with the Cui family.
Fast forward many years, and he has reached the age where he has to get married.
It turns out that the lady came to him to talk about his marriage.
Zhang San was in a daze for a moment, and his uneasy heart calmed down a little, but he remembered something again and his mood became bitter: "Thank you madam for your concern, I do have someone in mind, but I have a low status and am not worthy of her.
"
"Are you talking about Yuxiu?" Ye Zhenzhen asked straight to the point.
Zhang San raised his head in surprise, and then he saw Qiu Wu next to his wife winking at him. He understood something in his heart and stopped hiding it. He responded honestly: "Madam, you are aware of everything. I really admire Miss Yuxiu.
But I never leaked a word to outsiders, and I didn't dare to insult her reputation."
Ye Zhenzhen sighed: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so jealous. Your interest in Yuxiu is not a shameful thing. As far as I know, Yuxiu is not heartless towards you. Why don't you go to her house to propose marriage?"
"But Yuxiu's mother..."
"This is not a reason."
Ye Zhenzhen said with hatred: "As a man, if you dare to do something, you dare to do it. Since you are interested, you have to fight for the opportunity. Even if Mother Yuxiu is not willing, so what? If you don't fight for it, how can others see it?
What's your attitude? You can't let Yuxiu, a girl, fight with her family for you, right?"
This continuous questioning made Zhang San enlightened and overwhelmed with shame and anger. He stood up and bowed long to Ye Zhenzhen: "Madam Mingjian, this villain is indeed confused. If not for Madam's guidance, I am afraid that this villain will regret it in this life.
Too late."
Seeing that he listened to his advice, Ye Zhenzhen immediately nodded with satisfaction. Zhang San had good abilities and character, but due to his family background, he did have some shortcomings in some aspects, but as long as someone reminded him, he would soon be able to
comprehend.
He was originally a smart man.
Ye Zhenzhen then smiled: "When do you plan to come to propose marriage? Are the betrothal gifts ready? Do you need my help?"
Zhang San's dark face showed a little red, and he said with rare coyness: "The villain has already prepared the betrothal gift... You don't have to come forward, lest Aunt Guilan think that the villain is using your face to oppress others, and she will feel unhappy. If
If Aunt Guilan doesn't want to, I will pester her a few more times until she agrees."
At this moment, he showed a bit of a gangster look.
Ye Zhenzhen held her forehead and looked at him dumbfounded: "It should have been like this a long time ago."
Zhang San was not enlightened before, but now he is full of evil thoughts. Now he can no longer hold back, excitedly said to Ye Zhenzhen: "Madam, I won't waste your time, now.
I resigned."
Ye Zhenzhen did not expose him, and waved her hands in disgust: "Go ahead, go ahead."
Zhang San giggled and stepped back quickly. He was so excited that he didn't see a person standing quietly at the corner. He had been listening secretly for an unknown period of time.
Ye Zhenzhen asked Qiu Wu to call someone over and asked: "Did you hear everything just now?"
If this person is not Yuxiu, who is he?
Yuxiu's face turned red, and the expression on her face was complicated and unspeakable, mixed with shyness, excitement, joy and worry. When she heard the lady's question, she just nodded in confusion, her thoughts were so confused that she couldn't even say a word.
Could it be that she had hesitated so much before because of Zhang San's ambiguous attitude? Now that she heard that he was willing to propose marriage, the previously high guard suddenly collapsed. Her heart was hot and swollen, and there was always something ready to come out.
.
"Madam..." She instinctively looked at Madam, her eyes a little confused.
Ye Zhenzhen understood how complicated she was at this time. She had just eavesdropped on the conversation between the two maids and realized the problem, so she calmly arranged the scene.
So far, the results are good.
She smiled and said: "You have the final say in your marriage. You have also seen Zhang San's attitude. If you intend to spend your life with him, then be brave and go for it. These days will be your most precious memories in the future."
Just now she encouraged Zhang San to have the courage to take on the responsibilities of a man. For Yuxiu, she also asked the other party to make their own efforts, give each other, and work together to make love bloom the most beautiful flowers, isn't it?
