Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 479: The thoughts of the two stewards

“Yes!” Lian Fang Zhou smiled.
“Don’t you want to go have fun? Don’t worry, your wages won’t be deducted!”

Wang Da laughed and hurriedly said “This servant never worried about this, Miss! You have always been generous.
But I don’t understand why you told us to go out and play? I’ve been very tired lately and my works has been delayed.
I still have a lot of things to finish!”

“Yes, yes!” Zhang Xiu’er hurriedly agreed.
“A few days ago, two restaurants in the county capital ordered a lot of eggs and chickens, I have to help my mother prepare them.
They will be here tomorrow and the day after to pick them up.”

Model employees! Lian Fang Zhou sighed silently and smiled.
“Is it impossible to do this without you? Aren’t there many others that can help? A marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so you have to take the opportunity to relax and get to know each other.
Not only you, but also the others in the future should do this.
You can go to the county capital for a few days, go to the temple to light incense.
Wherever it is beautiful, go for a stroll and play.
Shuangliy county is more lively than here and there are a lot of good things there, you could go shopping.”

Lian Fang Zhou almost suggested they go to Xiuyuan but held back at the last moment.

This was not a place they could go to easily and she couldn’t always be too casual with her kindness and ignore the opinions of Fang Qing and Su Jing He.

Hearing what Lian Fang Zhou said, Wang Da couldn’t help but be moved.

A new marriage had an indescribably feeling and he didn’t care about all the meaningful looks and knowing smiles.
But it was a little inconvenient, it would be better for the two of them to be alone.

Just thinking about it, he felt excited.

“Miss is very kind,” Wang Da smiled, tilting his head to his new wife.
“Shall we go out for a walk?”

Zhang Xiu’er, a new wife still recovering from her wedding night, had a red face.
Blinking her moist eyes, she hesitantly whispered: “This, this… I’m afraid it will cost a lot of money.”

“It’s okay.
The New Year is almost here and we just happen to need to buy some goods for father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law.” Wang Da laughed.

Zhang Xiu’er smiled at him gently, her face even redder.

Watching this, it would be a lie to say that Lian Fang Zhou was not envious.
This woman had only just become a wife, but she already seemed very different than yesterday.
That kind of coquettish and radiant face came from the inside and was better than any cosmetic!

“Then it’s settled!” Lian Fang Zhou smiled.
“Wait for San Chao to return to the door and then go out to play for four or five days.
It’s enough to earn more money.
Xiu’er, you really know how to live! When you go back, look at the red envelope I gave.
You will see, it’s enough for you to go play.” The red envelope contained ten taels of silver.

Zhang Xiu’er did not need to look to know that Lian Fang Zhou was not a stingy person.
So she smiled and thanked her.

After letting Wang Da and Zhang Xiu’er leave, Lian Fang Zhou looked at Steward Qin and said: “I seem to remember you said you needed to talk about something? I wonder if you can say it now?”

Steward Qin stiffened.
His calm look from before changed drastically, like the clouds and winds.
Seeing this, Lian Fang Zhou immediately paid more attention.
Sitting up straight, she looked at Steward Qin seriously.

He smiled reluctantly: “Miss has a good memory… this matter, this matter…” He sighed.
“Please asked Manager Su to come over too.”

Both of them? Lian Fang Zhou became more and more curious.
Noddingly, she said a good word.

After a while, the two came back together.
Steward Qin must have said something to Manager Su because their expressions were the same.
There was tension as well as a touch of sadness in their posture.

Lian Fang Zhou could sense it and her heart tightened.

She opened her mouth to speak but before she could say a word, Manager Su and Steward Qin called out “Miss!” and knelt in front of her.

“You…” Lian Fang Zhou had a bad premonition.
Could it be that these two were asking her for their freedom?

To be honest, their relationship was good.
If they asked, it would be difficult for her to refuse.

Besides, ever since the two came to work for her, they had indeed worked wholeheartedly.
The two had contributed a lot to her cotton harvest this season.

Especially Su Zi Ji.
Without him, how would they have the tool to make quilts or spin thread? How could they have been so easy to make?

The two of them didn’t owe her anything.

They were originally officials, different than the others.

Although Lian Fang Zhou held their slave deed in her hands, she felt a sense of regret that could almost be called a sense of guilt.

It was reasonable for them to leave, she couldn’t keep them.

Other than this, Lian Fang Zhou could not think of anything else that would make the two of them so solemn.

For a moment, her face was even more tense and stiff than theirs.

“Come on, Steward Qin, Manager Su, get up quickly! Let’s talk about it, get up quickly!” Lian Fang Zhou raised her hand, trying to squeeze out a stiff smile.

It was a good time to talk, she sighed inwardly.

It was a lie to say that there was no loss or reluctance, but she couldn’t force others to stay, it was too rude!

She really wanted to beg a few good words: Why did you want to leave? Did they not have enough to do? Did she deserve it?

“Miss.” The two did not get up but solemnly kowtowed.
Manager Qin said in a trembling voice: “Miss, please forgive my selfishness.
It’s really a matter of close family.
I have suffered in my heart day and night before deciding to ask Miss for this.”

“I beg Miss to be merciful!” Manager Su agreed.
Both of their voice trembled with grief.

Lian Fang Zhou was stunned, it seemed that it was not what she thought! Refreshed, she hurriedly said: “You know my temper, jut say it? When did I harden my heart? Make it clear quickly so I don’t have to worry.
Also, don’t kneel like this! Get up quickly.”

Manager Su and Steward Qin couldn’t help but laugh with relief when they saw her reaction, feeling warm in their hearts.
The agreed and got up slowly.

Steward Win blinked his eyes and sighed: “Miss, as you know, my wife and children were sold with me…”

Lian Fang Zhou was shocked: “I understand, you mean to bring them over here?” Her tone was oddly full of joy, so much so that the two men were a little dumbfounded.

They had no idea how much joy Lian Fang Zhou felt at the moment.
She wouldn’t lose them! This was the most joyful thing!

Seeing their puzzled looks, Lian Fang Zhou smiled sheepishly and said quickly: “This is how it should be, you should have said something earlier! But it’s not too late, do you know where they were sold to?”

Manager Su and Steward Qin realized that they had made this a big deal.
Relieved, they agreed and opened their mouths.
