Chapter 20 Kill Him
Uncle Wen stood up and walked out of the room, but found Miss Shen lying outside the door, looking at him furtively.
Uncle Wen paused and asked in surprise, "Second Miss, why are you here?"
Second Miss Shen made a gesture to keep quiet and whispered, "I saw what happened just now. This Jiang Dazhu is a big bad guy!"
Uncle Wen smiled bitterly; it was the first time he encountered such a troublemaker.
"Oh, right! Uncle Wen, you read a lot of books, take a look at the Thousand Character Classic that this person has memorized!" As she said that, Miss Shen handed a piece of paper in her hand to Uncle Wen.
Uncle Wen took the white paper and looked at it. He saw a few lines of large characters written on it. He could barely recognize it as the Thousand Character Classic, but the font was really...
Second Miss Shen laughed out loud but she didn't dare to laugh out loud. Her face turned red and her shoulders trembled.
In fact, as early as when Jiang Chengfeng passed the preliminary examination, this test paper fell into the hands of Miss Shen Er. At that time, when Miss Shen Er saw Jiang Chengfeng's answer sheet, she laughed so hard that she fell backwards. With such a low level of education, he still wanted to sign a contract as a servant?
Humph, shameless!
Then, Miss Shen Er took out a booklet from the small cloth bag at her waist and handed it to Uncle Wen, "Uncle Wen, take a look at this..."
Uncle Wen opened the booklet and his eyes lit up immediately. He said in surprise, "Isn't this the eldest lady? This is the first time I've seen such a novel way of painting!"
Second Miss Shen pouted her lips, looking very depressed. "I also want to know who drew this! I bought this booklet from Jiang Dazhu. This bad guy actually made money in my sister's name. He is so bad!"
Uncle Wen was not angry, but felt enlightened. He did not expect that this kid could make money. He was indeed a talented person!
"Second Miss, someone who can create such an exquisite painting method must be a master-level figure? Second Miss, do you know where this painting came from?"
Second Miss Shen sighed and said, "I don't know, and this guy won't tell me! But what is certain is that it was definitely not painted by him! This guy can't even write big characters properly, how can he paint? It's just strange that the person who painted my sister's portrait was able to paint so finely, he must be someone who is very familiar with my sister, but there is no such a servant who is good at painting in the mansion!"
Uncle Wen smiled awkwardly and said, "Then what ?"
Uncle Wen originally wanted to promote Jiang Dazhu, but now seeing that the second young lady seemed to hate this guy, he had no choice but to give up.
A wicked smile appeared on the corners of Miss Shen's lips, and her big eyes blinked, "This bad guy did a bad thing, he must be punished!"
Uncle Wen didn't quite understand what his Second Miss meant, and looked at Second Miss Shen with confusion.
"Uncle Wen, sign this guy! Just do as he says and sign this...contract system! Forget about a year, even a month can make him...humph!"
Seeing his second young lady showing her devilish smile again, Uncle Wen turned and ran away. He knew the second young lady's temper very well. If she picked on him, it would be unlucky for him!
Uncle Wen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and observed a three-second silence for Jiang Dazhu.
At this time, the bad guy mentioned by Miss Shen was chatting with Uncle Yang and Uncle Zhong in the interview room.
The three of them were spitting and talking about all sorts of things, as if they were in a heated debate.
And from the few words from Uncle Yang and Uncle Zhong, Jiang Chengfeng also found out some useful information.
During the heyday of the Shen family, Mr. Shen served as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of Rites, and his students and former officials were all over the country. Later, when he returned to his hometown in his old age, the emperor personally wrote a mourning couplet and posthumously conferred him the title of First-Class Wen Zhong Gong when he passed away.
Three years after Mr. Shen passed away , Young Master Shen also fell ill and passed away after being bedridden for two years.
The male members of the Shen family passed away one after another, leaving only Mrs. Shen and her daughter to depend on each other. If it weren't for the support of Mr. Shen's many students, I'm afraid the Shen family would have fallen into decline long ago.
Afterwards, Mrs. Shen took charge of the overall situation of the Shen family. Miss Shen, against all odds, took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the family. The mother and daughter worked together to support the huge Shen Mansion from collapse.
But now that Mr. Shen has passed away for many years, his influence has gradually decreased, and with the help of some ambitious people, it has become increasingly difficult for the Shen family to maintain their business. In the past two years, for the sake of the Shen family's business, Miss Shen has been traveling all year round, personally managing the Shen family's various industries, and is therefore rarely at home.
Jiang Chengfeng nodded, and then asked the two old men why the Shen family recruited servants and talented people?
Uncle Yang smiled cunningly, "Little guy, you don't understand this, do you? In fact, this is the rumor that the eldest lady deliberately spread!"
Jiang Chengfeng pondered for a moment, then laughed. He now began to admire this Miss Shen whom he had never met.
The reason why Miss Shen did this was to attract these so-called talents to come, which invisibly gave the Shen family free advertising and increased the Shen family's influence. And now it seems that the advertising effect is very good.
"But what I'm curious about is, how does the eldest lady plan to deal with these scholars?" Jiang Chengfeng asked.
Uncle Yang and Uncle Zhong looked at each other and shook their heads.
Although they are both elders of the Shen family, the eldest lady did not mention this matter to them. I guess the eldest lady has her own thoughts in her mind.
At this moment, Uncle Wen came back, and Jiang Chengfeng hurriedly stood up and asked about the result.
Uncle Wen sighed and said, "Originally, Madam didn't agree, but after my earnest persuasion, Madam decided to give you a chance to prove yourself!"
In the later life, Jiang Chengfeng passed the national examination and entered the civil service system. Although he only worked there for three years, he often wrote reports to his superiors. Therefore, he naturally would not believe Uncle Wen's nonsense.
Of course, he wouldn't show it.
Jiang Chengfeng was delighted and immediately bowed his hands to express his gratitude, "Oh, thank you, Uncle Wen! I'm really sorry!"
Afterwards, Uncle Wen wrote and Jiang Chengfeng dictated, and the first servant contract of the Shen Mansion was born.
However, Uncle Wen scoffed at many of the details mentioned in the contract. For example, working three and a half hours a day. Other servants get up early and work late, and you want to work only three and a half hours? You are dreaming!
Finally, Jiang Chengfeng carefully wrote the three words Jiang Dazhui at the bottom of the contract. Uncle Wen took the contract out, and when he came back, there were three handsome big words at the bottom of the contract - Shen Qingdie!
Shen Qingdie?
Looks like a woman's name?
Jiang Chengfeng was a little curious, but did not ask Uncle Wen.
Finally, Uncle Wen signed his name on the contract as a guarantor.
Seeing Uncle Wen signing his name on the contract in a flamboyant manner, Jiang Chengfeng was filled with emotion. From now on, I will become an employee of the Shen Mansion. Why is my life so miserable?
