After returning from the rounds, Ye Caiping smiled and asked, "Big brother, how did you feel?"

Ye Daquan smiled broadly: "It's similar to herding cattle, but this horse moves more nimbly and faster."

"Then let's drive around a few more times, and then send this young man back to the prefectural city."

After Ye Caiping finished speaking, she took out a money bag: "This is the final payment."

The original price was 53 taels, but it was reduced by one tael to 52. Since a deposit of 10 taels had already been paid, only 42 taels were given.

The servant took the money pouch, counted it, and then smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Ye Daquan walked around with the servant boy twice, then called on Old Man Ye to go to the prefectural city together.

...

With the carriage, it was much easier and faster to take Ye Xuan and the maids to class.

The county exam is in a few days, and everyone at home is on edge.

Ye Xuan was also nervous, thinking that Shen Zhiyan would give him extra lessons.

As a result, Mr. Shen remained unhurried as always, only working for half a day.

On the morning of April 13th, she simply threw several test questions at him, told him to finish them and then go home, and then hurriedly ran off.

riverside.

Shen Zhiyan looked at the new fishing rod Ye Caiping had given him with great curiosity: "This is the first time I've ever seen one with a reel."

Ye Caiping said, "When a fish bites, you can just turn it around. You can adjust the drag and tension as you like. It will also cast far. Here, this is the new bait."

As he spoke, he took out a small basin.

Shen Zhiyan sat down, added new bait to his fishing rod, and began fishing.

Ye Caiping looked at him: "Aren't you in class at this time?"

She clearly made an appointment for the afternoon, but she showed up at her house early in the morning, on the Dragon Boat Festival, and started knocking on the door.

Shen Zhiyan: "Let him do the problems."

Ye Caiping said, "He will be taking the county and prefectural examinations soon."

"Okay, then let him take the exam. As long as he doesn't get sick, he'll pass." He chuckled softly as he said this.

“I spent two whole months on him. If I can’t even get him to become a child scholar, wouldn’t I be unworthy of the name Shen Zhiyan?”

Ye Caiping's lips twitched slightly. Is two months a lot of time? Other teachers are paid by the year. Three to five years is considered short, and ten or twenty years is normal!

And honestly, did it really take two months?

We only had half a day of classes! Today we even skipped that half day!
