Chapter 313 Visit

Shen family.

Shen Manman, Jin Er Huan Er and Jin Hua had just finished their classes.

Several people were invited by Shen Manman to her living room.

The living room is filled with all kinds of things.

Shen Manman picked up two pieces of cloth and gave them to Ye Jiner: “This is for Jiner.”

Then he brought four more horses and gave them to Huan'er and Jinhua respectively.

Ye Jin'er was surprised and asked, "Why did Sister Man give us these things?"

Shen Manman chuckled and said, “This is what my uncle brought from the capital. They were all picked by my grandmother and aunt, and I can’t use them all, so I’ll give some to you.”

Ye Jin'er said, "My family will also send some spicy soup broth to Sister Man later. Oh, and some furniture as well."

Shen Manman said, "No need. I gave you something, so don't always think about giving gifts in return. If you have something fun in the future, just think of me and give me some."

"Didn't Aunt Ye send furniture to our family last time? I never thought about giving a return gift or anything."

Ye Jiner nodded: "Yeah."

Shen Manman gave each person two pieces of cloth, and another person a bracelet, as well as a large number of snacks and some small ornaments and gadgets that the little girl liked.

Then she took out two more bracelets: "This is for Sister Xiaoyan, and the other one is for Yinhua."

Although Yinhua didn't come, Shen Manman didn't forget her.

Ye Jiner took it and said, "Okay, I'll give it to them later."

Shen Manman asked again: "How is the progress of Sister Xiaoyan and Sister Jinhua's embroidery shop?"

Jinhua said, "The goods are ready, and we have found a shop in the county. The date is September 22, which is two days after my sister-in-law invited us to the banquet."

"Okay, I will definitely come to support you then." Shen Manman said with a smile, "Also, didn't Auntie say she would come here in the afternoon? Jin'er, why don't you stay for lunch at noon, and then go back with Auntie when she comes."

"good."

At noon, Jin'er and the other two invited them to stay for lunch, so Ye Xuan naturally had to stay as well.

The four of them dined with Shen Zhiyan and his daughter.

As for Marquis Dingguo, since he is here, he naturally has to work. He went to the provincial capital early in the morning to investigate military affairs.

At the dinner table, Ye Jiner ate her meal in small bites and glanced at Shen Zhiyan.

Although Mr. Shen was still as aloof and taciturn as ever, for some reason, they always felt that he was much gentler towards them.

…

Afternoon, Mr. Qian’s house.

As soon as Ye Caiping entered the room, she was pulled into the house by Mr. Qian's wife to chat.

Master Qian stuffed two boxes into Ye Caiping's pockets and said, "This is a gift. Thank you, Madam Ye. Otherwise, I wouldn't have passed the imperial examination. Besides, I'm here to congratulate Madam Ye. I heard that Madam Ye was granted a title."

Mr. Qian's wife narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Cai Ping is really the lucky star of our family."

Ye Caiping smiled and said, "It is also thanks to Master Qian that Xuan'er found such a good teacher."

Master Qian laughed out loud: "Congratulations, everyone."

Ye Caiping didn't know why, but she always felt that Shen Zhiyan was like a big white sheep, standing in the middle and being plucked by them again and again.

Ye Caiping stood up: "Let's go to the Shen family."

Then Ye Caiping left with Master Qian.

When I arrived at the door, I saw an old man in his early fifties standing there in a long robe. He was Fang Xuezhen from the county school.

The gatekeeper said, "Fang Xuezheng, my master already knows your intentions, but he is busy now and will not see you for the time being."

Fang Xuezhen looked frustrated and sighed.

Master Qian stepped forward and asked happily, "Master Xuezheng?"

Fang Xuezheng was startled. "It's Mr. Qian... No, it should be Mr. Qian. I heard that you passed the autumn examination. Congratulations."

Master Qian smiled and said, "Thank you, Xuezheng."

Fang Xuezheng looked at Ye Caiping: "Hey, who is this..."

"This is Madam Ye, the newly appointed Lady Ye yesterday."

Fang Xuezheng's eyes lit up, and he said with a cupped hand, "So this is Ye Yiren, I have heard of your name for a long time."

He had long heard of Ye Caiping, the small businessman who was framed and thrown into jail by County Magistrate Lu.

Yesterday, she suddenly transformed herself into a concubine of the seventh rank! Sensation in the city.

I heard it was because of cassava.

It was not until yesterday that the entire Yue'an County knew that the cassava that helped them survive the winter last year was discovered by Madam Ye.

Fang Xuezheng asked: "Does Ye Yiren know Mr. Shen?"

Ye Caiping nodded: "My nephew is studying under Mr. Shen."

Fang Xuezheng thought of Ye Caiping's last name, Ye, and couldn't help but take a breath: "Ye Xuan?"

"right."

"No wonder, no wonder. I was wondering how a student I had never heard of suddenly appeared and won the second place in the college examination. No, he is now the first. It turns out that he is Mr. Shen's last disciple."

The county school received the news about Li Zimo yesterday.

Fang Xuezhen immediately expelled Li Zimo and Li Zhiyuan from the academy.

Li Zimo cheated and was stripped of his honor, so Ye Xuan naturally became the top scorer in this college examination.

The gatekeeper saw that they had almost finished chatting, and said with a smile: "Madam Ye is here, my master is waiting, please come in."

Fang Xuezheng: “…”

Ye Caiping saw that he was quite embarrassed, but she didn't know what the relationship between Shen Zhiyan and him was, and she didn't know what the other person's character was like, so she just smiled and said:

"We have something important to discuss with Mr. Shen today. Xuezheng, do you need me to bring you a message?"

Fang Xuezheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled, "Then I'll trouble Madam Ye. Madam Ye, please tell Mr. Shen that the student is here to thank him."

"Last time, the teacher gave a lecture at the county school. Afterwards, he gave suggestions for each student's problem, which benefited the students a lot. This autumn, the number of students who passed the examination in our county school reached 18, which is half more than in previous years."

Ye Cai smiled and said, "Congratulations."

There are ten counties in Nanzhou, but the total number of juren admitted is only one hundred.

It is indeed a good thing that one county has produced eighteen students.

Fang Xuezheng smiled and handed the gift box in his hand to Ye Caiping: "Please pass it on to me, Madam Ye."

"good."

Fang Xuezhen left after leaving his things.

The gatekeeper said, "My master has taught so many students. If he saw every one of them, he would be exhausted."

Ye Caiping nodded to show her understanding.

Shen Zhiyan came to this small town to live in seclusion and find peace and quiet. I don't like socializing like this.

Let’s not talk about family background. If someone you don’t know well comes to your home, you can just choose not to meet him or her. It’s your personal freedom.

Ye Caiping and Master Qian walked into the Shen residence.

Soon they arrived at the living room.

Shen Zhiyan was holding a teacup, and put it down when he saw Ye Caiping: "Why did you bring something with you?"

Ye Caiping said, "It's not mine, it's Fang Xuezheng's. I found it outside."

Then he repeated what the other person said.
