Saying farewell to a small gathering in advance, although it was inevitably sad, it also gave Ye Zhenzhen some reassurance. With the help of the Ye family and the Wei family in the capital, she could have her own family, whether it was about keeping the news or managing the industries everywhere.
Help one or two.
Of course, these industries are still secondary, and the most important thing is Yongshan Hall.
Yongshan Hall has opened its stalls in Beijing and Jingning. Jingning has Chu Ningyan and the Cui family to take care of it, so there is no need to worry too much, but the one in Jingcheng is very worrying.
The current momentum of Yongshan Hall is very good. There are noble ladies such as Xuan Niang and Yun Niang taking care of them, but they may not have much energy in the future, because they are gradually reaching the age of marriage, starting a family, raising a husband and raising children.
No matter how good-hearted he is, given the limitations of the conditions, he will not be as energetic as when he was at home with the girl.
Ye Zhenzhen sent someone to notify Xuan Niang and others, and held a meeting in Yongshan Hall.
At the meeting, she announced her upcoming departure from Beijing and put on the table all the problems that Yongshan Hall would face in the future development and management.
Xuan Niang and others seemed very silent.
They were reluctant to leave their wives, and they were also considering the trade-off between their future marriage and career. This was an unavoidable problem, so they didn't know what to do for a while.
Ye Zhenzhen glanced at them and said: "After I leave the capital, Yongshan Hall will be handed over to Xuan Niang and Yun Niang. You will make decisions on ordinary matters after consultation. If you are really undecided, you can go to the Princess Mansion to ask Ning for advice.
Princess Yang, you will talk about getting married soon. It is inevitable that you will lack energy in the future. While there is still time now, train more assistants."
Xuan Niang's expression gradually became brighter: "Madam, what you mean by assistant is..."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said: "How I chose you in the first place is how you choose your assistants. You should be familiar with this routine."
Familiar, very familiar.
Everyone thought of their ignorant and uneasy selves back then, feeling both enlightened and nostalgic. Before they knew it, a long time had passed.
Ye Zhenzhen was also a little emotional and said to them: "In the next few days, the uncle's house will hold a Spring Appreciation Banquet. You have spread the word that Yongshan Hall is looking for talents. Then you can choose suitable assistants. This time you can do it yourself
Choose, I won’t interfere.”
After all, they are choosing assistants for them, and the most important thing is that they get along well with each other. It would be pointless for her to interfere. After so many years of getting along and training, Ye Zhenzhen still believes in their character and abilities.
Xuan Niang, Yun Niang and others all nodded and began to look forward to the Spring Festival Banquet.
Ye Zhenzhen had a lot of friends, so she had to say goodbye to her relatives and friends this time when she left Beijing. Notifying her through letters was not sincere enough, so holding a Spring Festival banquet seemed inevitable.
Ye Zhenzhen personally visited the princess's house and delivered the invitation to Princess Ningyang.
Princess Ningyang knew her purpose of coming and made her promise very happily: "Don't worry, Yongshan Hall will be handed over to me after you leave the capital. As long as I am here, no one will dare to take advantage of it."
Although Ye Zhenzhen had confidence in her heart, she finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting Princess Ningyang's personal promise: "With your Highness's words, I feel relieved, so I leave it to Your Highness."
Princess Ningyang waved her hand: "You're welcome. When my father asked me to help manage Yongshan Hall, it was my duty. It's just that I've been lazy before. Fortunately, you didn't take it personally and let me take the time for nothing.
Several years.”
"Your Highness, you are the rock of our charity. You don't need to come forward on weekdays. Unfortunately, the situation has changed, so I have to help you, Your Highness."
Princess Ningyang smiled and nodded at her: "Glib tongue."
Ye Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled.
The visitors talked about parenting for a while. Princess Yaoling woke up and looked for her mother. Ye Zhenzhen couldn't bear to stay any longer, so she left and returned home.
The Spring Appreciation Banquet was left to Yuxiu and others to prepare. Ye Zhenzhen was still busy, packing luggage, dispatching personnel, etc. Cui Weizhen was also busy with the handover of government affairs, and he was rarely seen.
On this day, after Ye Zhenzhen finished her chores and secretly fed the little cotton-padded jacket, Cui Zhenduan came back from school.
Ye Zhenzhen noticed that he was a little unhappy and asked quickly: "Son, what happened? Are you worried about something?"
Recently, the news came that Cui Weizhen had left Beijing to take up a foreign post. Everyone at home was busy, and there was no time to pay attention to Cui Zhiduan. After thinking about it carefully, I have really ignored him these days.
Cui Zhiduan silently sat down next to his mother and said dullly: "Mother, I can't bear to leave my master and Brother Xuchen."
Ye Zhenzhen probably guessed the reason. Every child who wants to transfer to another school will be reluctant to leave his teachers and friends. This is normal, and adults need to guide him well.
"Mom can understand how you feel. Not only do you have to leave your good friend, but my mother also has to say goodbye to her good friend."
Cui Zhiduan was a little surprised. He always felt that his parents were omnipotent and would never have such a weak emotion of being reluctant to let go. Now that he heard his mother admit it, he suddenly had a vague feeling that her mother would also be sad.
"Mom, are you very reluctant to leave Aunt Chu and the others?"
"Yes, my mother can't bear to leave them, let alone your grandfather's family."
Ye Zhenzhen paused, and continued with her son's expectant eyes: "But mother is also looking forward to it. When we go to Mingzhou, we can see new scenery and meet new friends. This is also a wonderful thing."
As long as I think about it, I won’t be so sad.”
Cui Zhiduan asked thoughtfully, with some expectation and some anxiety: "Can I make new friends?"
"Of course."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said: "Mingzhou has a prosperous academic atmosphere, and many academies have been established in recent years. If you like it, you can go to the academies to study, so that you can make many like-minded friends."
Cui Zhiduan's eyes lit up: "Is it Yunshan Academy like my uncle?"
"Yes."
Cui Zhiduan's mood immediately improved and he asked curiously: "Are all the children in Mingzhou studying in academies? What books do their masters teach them to read? Am I reading too little? I won't be able to keep up by then.
What do they do?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
Do you really deserve to be a top student? Even the questions you think about are so forward-looking. However, shouldn’t this kind of question be considered by parents like them?
Ye Zhenzhen took a handful of his head and said: "Don't worry, the enlightenment that Old Master Zhou gave you is definitely no worse than others. If you really can't keep up with the progress, wouldn't you still have your father? Your father is a Sanyuan and
You are a talented person who helps you with your studies, but you are still afraid that you will not be able to keep up with others?"
Cui Zhiduan giggled a few times. He scratched his head and didn't dwell on this issue anymore. However, another question he raised made Ye Zhenzhen difficult: "Mom, let's leave Beijing for Mingzhou. What will happen to Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan?"
