Chapter 298 Lively

Yejia Village was in an uproar.

"What? Ye Beixiu passed the martial arts exam?"

"What is Wu Xiucai? I only remember there was a Li Xiucai in the town."

"Li Xiucai is a literary scholar, and Bei Xiu is currently a martial arts scholar."

"What is that?"

"It's Wu Xiucai!"

These few sentences were like tongue twisters, and few people understood who Wu Xiucai was.

"We are so stupid. What are we talking about here? Why don't we go to Uncle Ji Shun's house and ask him?"

On the way, I ran into Ye Yunhai who was busy working. "Yunhai, Bei Xiu passed the martial arts exam. Have you heard?"

"What? Are you mistaken? Bei Xiu is very busy and hasn't been home for a long time.

Just a few days ago, the couple didn’t come home for such an important event as harvesting wheat.”

"Then do you know what he's busy with?"

Ye Yunhai shook his head. "I really don't know. I just heard from his wife that they are very busy lately and don't have time to come back."

Everyone started to criticize Ye Yunhai, "Yunhai, Yunhai, thank goodness you're still working with Bei Xiu. You don't even know what he's busy with."

"Why should I know? I just need to do my job well. I think you guys are just too idle."

After Ye Jidong finished spreading the message in the village, he trotted and trembled as he hurried to Ye Jishun's house. Seeing them gossiping here, he waved his arm and said, "Hurry up and go to your Uncle Jishun's house. This is a huge happy event. We have to ask him how to celebrate!"

"Uncle Jidong, Bei Xiu won the title of Wu Xiucai, this is true!"

Ye Jidong's eyes widened, and his beard trembled. "What a joke! Is this true or fake? The official who brought the good news just left, and I was the one who sent the person away. I saw the good news with my own eyes, how could this be fake?"

Ye Jidong glared and told everyone seriously.

These people finally believed it.

"Then let's go to Uncle Ji Shun's house quickly and see if he needs anything."

Although Ye Yunhai was still confused, he was really happy for Ye Beixiu, "My brother Yuncheng has finally shown his power. Beixiu has made it big."

He stopped doing the work and followed the group to Ye Jishun's house.

Ye Jishun and Wang Xilan were grinning all the time. Ye Yunsheng and Zhao Baofeng also rushed over after hearing the news.

Ye Beishan was even more impatient and wanted to go to the county town right away to find out what was going on.

Li Yiqin persuaded him, "Bei Xiu has such a big happy event, Jue Xia and the others will definitely go home. I think you should help me with the arrangements at home. There will definitely be a lot of people coming to congratulate me."

"I just heard what you said, and it seems that Bei Xiu had dinner with the county magistrate today."

"That's it. Go to my place right away and ask me how to do it. I'll go after Xinxin falls asleep."

Ye Beishan scratched his head. "Do I need to inform Aunt San?"

Li Yiqin turned around and glared at Ye Beishan, "You are stupid, Third Aunt is Bei Xiu's biological mother, how could she not hear Grandpa Jidong beating the gongs and drums like this?"

Ye Beishan understood what Li Yiqin meant, which was to stop him from interfering in other people's affairs.

"Ma'am, why are you so fierce? I won't go."

"Stop getting in my way here and do what you need to do."

Li Yiqin chased Ye Beishan away and gently patted Kexin, telling her to go to sleep quickly. "Xinxin, do you know? Your uncle Beixiu has made it big and passed the imperial examination. Be good, eat well, and grow up quickly. Then your aunt will find you a good husband, preferably one who is also an imperial scholar."

Then she thought of Pang Xiujuan and sighed, "Some people just can't figure things out!"

There were a lot of people gathered at Ye Jishun's house, and almost everyone in the entire Yejia Village came.

The handicraft workshop also stopped working. Song Yu, Liu Jinhua and Li Yulan gathered at Ye Jishun's house and asked Wang Guilan all kinds of questions.

Wang Guilan remained silent when asked this question because she really didn't know what was going on.

Liu Jinhua then remembered, "Yulan, did your Eryong go to the county town?"

"Yes, they go to the county town to deliver goods every two days."

"That's right, why don't we just wait for Eryong to come back and ask him?"

"Yulan, does your Eryong only go to the county to deliver goods? Doesn't he know what Beixiu is busy with?"

Li Yulan shook her head. She was not the kind of person who went to the county to deliver goods. She only knew that Eryong was going to the county to deliver goods. As long as Eryong didn't mention it to her, she wouldn't ask.

"Eryong is just busy delivering goods! What else could he be busy with?"

"You don't know what Bei Xiu's wife is busy with in the county town?"

"Why do we need to know so much? Brother Beixiu and his wife pay us wages, so we just need to do our part."

Wang Guilan's head ached from all the messing around. "Bei Xiu and Jue Xia have to come back in the next two days. Once they come back, we can just ask them and we'll know everything.

Don’t even mention Yulan knowing nothing. Beixiu and Juexia are very tight-lipped. I’m their grandmother, but I don’t know anything when asked.”

After hearing what Wang Guilan said, everyone stopped asking Li Yulan.

Ye Jishun and Ye Jidong have already agreed that no matter whether Ye Beixiu comes back tomorrow or not, he will set up a banquet and treat everyone.

"Song Yu, your workshop will be closed for a day tomorrow. You all need to come here to help and have a feast."

Song Yu was in a dilemma, as the shopkeeper Li Xi had just received a big order and was in a hurry to get the work done.

If we delay for another day, I’m afraid we won’t be able to deliver the goods.

Wang Guilan saw Song Yu's embarrassment and knew that the workshop must be rushing to meet orders. She immediately yelled at Ye Jishun, "You damn old man! The child isn't even home yet! You're the first to act arrogant! There are so many things going on in the workshop, how can we just stop work like that?"

Besides, they are all embroiderers now, and their hands are precious. How can they do rough work like picking vegetables and cooking?"

When Ye Jishun saw that Wang Guilan was guarding so many people and didn't give him any face at all, his face immediately turned ugly.

Song Yu quickly came out to speak, "Uncle, how about this, I ask the two aunts who cook in our workshop to come home to help.

Everyone was happy that the Beixiu brothers had won the title of Wu Xiucai.

We can finish our work in the workshop and come home to prepare the feast."

"Look at what Song Yu has arranged. If you, an old man, don't understand, don't make random arrangements."

Ye Jishun smiled awkwardly.

Wang Guilan reached out and called Ye Beishan, "Beishan, you are the eldest brother, you have to pay attention to tomorrow's matter.

So, you go to Manfu Restaurant first and tell their owner about this matter, and ask him to send a few good chefs over. We will have them come to our house to prepare a big banquet tomorrow.

It's so hot today, so we won't be busy anymore. We can just wait for the feast."
