Chapter 260 Almost Wasted

Damn Ye Xuan, is he really going to pass the college entrance examination this year?

How is that possible! Ye Xuan is not even 20 years old yet. If he really wins, won’t he be severely suppressed by the Ye family?

Li Zhiyuan did not forget how many times he had shaken his head at Ye Xuan and how many times he had said things like "he was a mediocre person and not cut out for study".

And Shen Zhiyan seemed to be very familiar with Ye...

Last time he scolded Ye Caiping for being shameless and hooking up with a pretty boy.

Now he tried desperately to reject and deny this idea.

There is no way Ye could hook up with Shen Zhiyan!

No one would want a woman who was divorced by him! It's absolutely impossible to find someone better than him.

So Shen Zhiyan looked down on Ye Caiping! Yes, I absolutely despise it!

There must be other reasons why Shen Zhiyan accepted Ye Xuan, maybe it was a life-saving favor or something like that... Yes, that's it.

Li Zhiyuan's brain was about to explode, thinking about all sorts of things.

Sometimes I was jealous of Shen Zhiyan, a gifted child who won the top spot in the imperial examination at the age of 17.

Then he was afraid that Ye Xuan would stand out.

Then he was worried that Ye Caiping and Shen Zhiyan were too close...

But the biggest blow to him was the fact that Shen Zhiyan won the top spot in the imperial examination at the age of 17!

He had always been so proud of his talent, and the backbone he had been most proud of for 34 years was actually shattered by Shen Zhiyan's light step, with a snap!

Li Zhiyuan spent the entire morning of class in a daze, almost drooling.

Li Zimo and Chen Mao on the side shook him several times, but Li Zhiyuan did not wake up.

It was not until a voice from above said "That's all for today" that he was dragged away like a zombie.

Many students were listening attentively when Shen Zhiyan finished the lecture, and they were very reluctant to let him go.

They benefited a lot this morning. They never thought that the problem could be solved in this way and the thinking could be changed in this way.

The students admired Shen Zhiyan more and more and wanted to gather around him to ask him questions, but Fang Xuezheng had already stopped them.

living room--

Shen Zhiyan sat on the armchair, and the servant immediately brought tea.

Fang Xuezheng didn't dare to sit down, so he stood aside and said, "The student who just caused trouble is called Li Zhiyuan. Sir, do you want to punish him?"

Shen Zhiyan said: "It's just a small matter, let him continue with his class and don't make things difficult for him."

“Yes, yes.”

Fang Xuezhen originally wanted to fire Li Zhiyuan, but since Shen Zhiyan said so, he let Li Zhiyuan go.

When Shen Zhiyan lowered his eyes to drink tea, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes.

But we can't drive Li Zhiyuan away.

It would be better to hire a few good teachers to guide and mentor him.

In this way, when he failed the autumn examination again, he realized that it was not because he was expelled from the county school that caused him to fail.

The reason why he failed the exam is because he is really not good enough!

Shen Zhiyan has read Li Zhiyuan's article and found him to be a mediocre person.

At present, he is short-sighted, narrow-minded, and has a high opinion of himself. Every word in Li Zhiyuan's article carries a superficiality that he thinks is gorgeous.

With the little knowledge Li Zhiyuan had, he was lucky to pass the exam, let alone become a juren.

After all, there are too many papers, and examiners will always have their eyesight blurred.

Shen Zhiyan put down the teacup and said, "Please collect the test papers from Xuezheng later. I will mark them in seven days."

Fang Xuezheng was flattered: "Yes."

Before the get out of class ended, Shen Zhiyan assigned a few questions to the students and asked them to answer them and hand them in.

Since you have agreed to teach, you must do your best.

When the students hand in their papers, he will correct them one by one, give suggestions and ideas, and help them benefit as much as possible.

"Also, tell the students clearly not to look for me or ask about me. Shen doesn't like to be disturbed. So, let's say goodbye today."

"Don't worry, the students will warn them when they see each other on the street, and tell them not to approach. Anyone who dares to violate this rule will be expelled!"

Fang Xuezhen was very respectful.

He had to warn the students about this matter, especially those students with good family backgrounds, not to ask around and anger Mr. Shen.

After all, Mr. Shen is not only a gentleman, but also a son of the Marquisate. If he doesn't want to be disturbed, then no one can disturb him.

If he angered the other party, his entire county society might be destroyed.

…

Li Zhiyuan was dragged out of the county school by Li Zimo and Chen Mao in a daze.

He felt like he was dead!

Yes, he is dead!

The whole person is broken!

But he didn't know that the next second, he was even more broken!

Just as the three of them were passing through the alley, their vision suddenly went dark and they were put in a sack!

Then, he was met with a barrage of punches and kicks.

"Ahhh—Help! Murder!"

"Help--"

The screams like pigs being slaughtered echoed throughout the alley.

In a carriage not far away, Shen Manman half lifted the curtain, looking excited, her eyes shining:

"Fight, fight, fight, fight - all right, stop! Let's go!"

The carriage slowly moved away.

The hooligans in the paper also scattered, leaving only three people lying on the ground with their chrysanthemums all over the ground, crying and howling in pain.

Back home, Shen Manman and Xiao Qiu jumped off the carriage and walked into the gate with a giggle.

Xiao Qiu: "Miss, how can you be so awesome! You even thought of hiring someone to beat them up."

"Humph, look at my dad, he was actually indifferent to that Li guy and didn't do anything. It pissed me off! He even said it was none of my business. How can I not be more powerful?"

The two little girls skipped away.

Duanwu came out from behind a big tree not far away, shook his head and sighed, "You two, father and daughter, one fought with words and the other fought with violence. First it was mental torture and then physical torture."

People with the surname Li are almost ruined by you.

…

Early that morning, Ye Caiping saw Jin'er and Huan'er playing shuttlecock in the courtyard.

She walked over and asked: "Don't you have to go to class?"

Jin'er kicked the shuttlecock to Huan'er's side: "Take a rest today, and for the next three days as well."

"Why?"

“Anyway, Mr. Shen asked my second cousin to rest for three days. We also want to rest, so let’s rest together.”

Ye Caiping thought about looking for Shen Zhiyan a few days ago, but she couldn't find him.

He is still resting now, but I always feel like he has something going on. His little fish didn't come to his house again, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Afterwards, he called Shanzi and drove the carriage to the town.

Ye Caiping asked Shanzi to wait at the town entrance and went to Shen's house herself.

She followed Duanwu to the study.

When I went in, I saw Shen Zhiyan sleeping on the desk.

Ye Caiping was stunned and wanted to ask what was going on with Duanwu.

Duanwu just waved his hand and went out without saying anything.

Ye Caiping was somewhat puzzled, so she could only sit on the armchair at the bottom and drink her tea quietly, not wanting to wake up Shen Zhiyan.

About half an hour later, Shen Zhiyan slowly woke up. He looked up and saw Ye Caiping holding a teacup, sitting on the first chair, looking at him with a smile:

"Why are you so sleepy?"

Shen Zhiyan covered half of his face sleepily and looked at her: "A little tired."

He had to mark more than 400 papers in seven days, and he would make comments and suggestions on almost every paper, some of which took up three or four pages.

Ye Caiping looked at him. He looked so handsome with his tired and sleepy look. He was already very good-looking, and this look added a touch of laziness and elegance.

It makes people feel happy.

Ye Caiping looked at him for a while, then looked away: "You should go back to your room and have a good rest. I'll go back first."

As she said this she put down the teacup.

He really looked tired, so it was not a good idea to disturb him.

Shen Zhiyan said, "I'm awake now, but I can't sleep. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Didn't you ask for new bait last time? I've already made them. Also, it's time to put the glass workshop on the agenda. I came to you to talk about these two things."

Shen Zhiyan smiled and said, "New bait? Let's go and cast a few rods."

Ye Caiping's mouth twitched slightly. He couldn't hear anything about the glass workshop?
