Chapter 1521: Chapter 1518: New Shopkeeper Zhou Yunshan
Ye Muyu more or less understood the child's character; it should be said that he smiled when he saw Chun Xing smile, so he looked at her.
As for the smile, it was entirely Nuanbao's signature move; when others spoke to him and he didn't know what to say, he'd purse his lips and smile.
“Alright, Mother knows, you continue playing with your toys.”
Ye Muyu got up to fetch a brush and ink.
Before long, Steward Luo was summoned inside.
Upon seeing Ye Muyu, Steward Luo quickly paid his respects.
“Madam.”
“No need for formalities, Steward Luo, sit down and speak slowly,” Ye Muyu instructed.
Chun Xing was quick to bring him a chair, then stood aside, waiting for further instructions.
After expressing his thanks, Steward Luo sat down, albeit only lightly, with a calm and amiable demeanor on his face.
Despite Steward Luo's kindly appearance, he was Chu Heng's trusted assistant. Ye Muyu seldom sought his help, knowing that Steward Luo was mostly occupied with tasks for Chu Heng.
However, this time, selecting a shopkeeper was a significant matter, so she asked Steward Luo to take charge.
Ye Muyu conveyed her intentions, finally emphasizing, “I don't care about other conditions; the main thing is to ensure integrity. If integrity is assured, everything else is secondary.”
“I understand, my lady. I will select suitable candidates as soon as possible and bring them to the manor for your review.”
“I appreciate it.”
Steward Luo got up respectfully, paid her respects, and said with a smile, “Madam, you overstate it. This is something I should do.”
“By the way, Steward Luo, I remember your Lil' Six hasn't married yet?” Ye Muyu asked curiously.
Steward Luo nodded, “Yes, Lil' Six has been working outside for years, too busy to find a bride. Time has flown, and he's grown older. However, I have been helping him find a match.”
“If there's anything you need, just let me know,” Ye Muyu said gently after thinking for a moment.
Steward Luo originally guessed the madam intended to match one of the maidservants with his nephew and was pondering which two would be suitable, but unexpectedly, the madam genuinely showed concern without intending to interfere.
He had no doubt that the madam was testing him; she was purer than anyone. Her words were straightforward and genuine, initially making him worried that someone with her genuine nature might easily be deceived.
But reality showed him that the madam had a discerning heart that saw through human nature, yet she personally disliked scheming.
Getting along with such a master was actually the most relaxed.
“Thank you, madam, I will,” Steward Luo replied earnestly, and they exchanged a smile.
Steward Luo departed hastily and, within the day, found a suitable candidate.
The shopkeeper brought over this time was someone who previously worked for the Liu family's shop, named Zhou Yunshan. To be precise, the shop back then was under the name of a distant relative of the Eldest Daughter-in-Law of the Liu Family, with no apparent connection to the Liu family.
Thus, until he was dismissed three months ago after the main family sold the shop, Zhou Yunshan always believed that the family's struggles were the reason he lost this job opportunity.
In the following attempts to find work elsewhere, despite his extensive experience, he hit walls time and again, unable to find a job. As soon as he mentioned where he had previously worked, he was immediately rejected.
After wandering for two months like that, he finally learned the truth through a friend he was close with.
He had been working for Duke Zheng's Liu family's shop all along.
