It was clearly that rainy day when I brushed past her, the piper on the carriage.
She wanted to see if the man had a flute, so she cautiously raised her head.
She met the man's mocking gaze.
It was as if he had seen through everything.
Ye Panjiu tried her best to calmly withdraw her gaze.
The headmaster glared at him. "I think you really should come back and relearn the proper etiquette of respecting teachers!"
The man turned his head and snorted coldly, "Do you think I don't want to come back? I find this kid quite pleasing to the eye. If you don't want to take him in, making him my apprentice wouldn't be bad either."
The headmaster hurriedly waved his hand, "Go away, go away, first come, first served. Boy, today I will accept you as my tenth disciple."
He didn't want to let down this persistent desire to learn.
Ye Ming was so excited that his face turned bright red, and he immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Master, please accept my bow!"
"Bang bang bang—"
The three kowtows were deafening.
Mrs. Sun looked at her son's swollen forehead with great heartache. Why was this boy so honest?
The head of the academy stood up, stepped down, and placed his hands on Ye Ming's shoulders, lifting him up.
"Good disciple!"
Both Sun and Ye Erniu were so excited that their eyes reddened.
My son can finally continue his studies!
"May I ask, Headmaster, how much is the tuition fee?" Ye Panjiu asked.
Sun's heart jumped instantly.
The headmaster waved his hand, "I have no need for that. See that pure silver white deer outside? If I run out of money, I'll just sell it!"
The devilishly handsome man said calmly, "Go ahead and sell it. If you sell it, I'll put a pure gold one in it for you to keep as a pastime for your master."
The head of the hospital turned and glared at him, "Don't you dare get me into trouble!"
The man smiled but said nothing.
Ye Panjiu stepped forward and patted Ye Ming on the shoulder, "Ming'er, you study hard here, we'll be leaving now."
Ye Ming nodded, "You all must be careful. If anything happens, just let me know and I'll be right back!"
Ye Erniu looked at his son with great reluctance, "Nothing could possibly happen!"
Mrs. Sun then began with a series of admonitions, "The weather is getting a bit chilly, so you must dress warmly, and don't study too hard..."
Ye Ming interrupted her, feeling quite embarrassed, "Mom, I'm all grown up now, don't worry."
Ye Panjiu pulled her second brother and sister-in-law out of the house, and the three of them walked towards the courtyard gate.
Inside the house, the head of the courtyard pointed to the strikingly handsome man, "This is your senior brother, named Su Yan."
Ye Ming quickly bowed and greeted him, "Senior Brother."
Su Yan nodded. "You're too kind, Junior Brother. I have other matters to attend to today. Let's talk another day."
With that, he flicked his fan, stood up, and headed outside.
"Hey, didn't you say you had something to say to your teacher?" The headmaster glared at him.
"It's unimportant, we'll talk about it next time." Su Yan walked away without looking back.
Ye Ming and the head of the academy stared at each other, wide-eyed.
"Master, am I wearing too many clothes?"
The head of the hospital frowned, a question mark forming on his eyebrows.
Ye Ming scratched his head. "I see Senior Brother is still fanning himself because he's so hot. I wonder if I'm just too afraid of the cold..."
"Don't worry about him, he's not a normal person," the hospital director said without any hesitation.
"..."
Ye Ming actually thought it made sense; his master and senior brother were clearly not ordinary people.
As soon as Ye Panjiu and the other two walked down the stairs, Su Yan leisurely strolled up to her.
"What a coincidence! May I ride in your oxcart for a while?"
Ye Panjiu's eyes twitched. If she didn't know how luxurious this man's carriage was, she would have believed his harmless appearance.
Sun waved her hand dismissively, "What's the big deal? No problem! People can ride in the oxcart!"
This young man is so handsome, it's pleasing to the eye to look at him!
Su Yan immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Thank you very much."
Ye Santian sat in front of the oxcart, driving it. Sun was pulled to sit on the left by Ye Erniu, who was pouting. Ye Panjiu and Su Yan sat together on the right.
"My name is Su Yan, Yan as in Yama, the King of Hell. May I ask your name, young lady?"
"Ye Panjiu." Ye Panjiu didn't want to say it, but thinking of his master-disciple relationship with the head of the academy, and that he would be Ming'er's senior brother, he said it.
"I wonder which '汣' it is?" Su Yan asked with a smile, fanning himself.
That's it, we've gotten to know each other, it's that simple.
"Three dots of water, next to which is the character for 'long-lasting'," Ye Panjiu said, her tone neither enthusiastic nor indifferent.
"A fine name. It was raining that day, and upon seeing the girl, one could immediately discern what true virtue and unwavering perseverance meant..."
Ye Panjiu felt a headache coming on and quickly interrupted him, "Young master, you flatter me. I was just afraid of encountering the wrong person."
She doesn't know martial arts, so if she gets sold in a carriage, she'll have nowhere to cry.
“That girl is very intelligent and cautious in her words and actions…” Su Yan smiled as he looked at her, his voice gentle and tender.
Ye Panjiu finally couldn't take it anymore and turned around, only to fall into Su Yan's eyes.
As clear and pure as a piece of black jade.
She twitched her fingers; her eyes were simply too alluring.
"Young master, please don't say such things. I know I'm fine."
The plain meaning is that if you can't continue a conversation, there's no need to force it.
On the other side, Sun covered her mouth and winked at Ye Erniu.
Ye Erniu looked puzzled. "Wife, are your eyes uncomfortable? Let me blow on them for you."
Sun raised her hand and slapped him on the back.
This idiot is just speechless!
Hearing the commotion, Ye Panjiu couldn't help but laugh.
My second brother and sister-in-law are such a source of amusement.
Su Yan stared intently at the smile on her face.
Although the young woman was dressed in a simple coarse hemp dress and had no accessories whatsoever, her face alone was enough to make her stand out in a crowd.
Not to mention her clear-headedness and intelligence, which are even more rare.
"If Junior Brother Ye Ming goes home for his day off, may I have the honor of accompanying him?"
Ye Panjiu nodded, "No problem."
She didn't dislike him at all.
"That's good then. If you need anything, go to Bailu Academy. See you next time." Su Yan lightly jumped off the oxcart, waved his fan, and watched Ye Panjiu walk away.
Ye Panjiu didn't look away, watching his figure shrink.
They were both adults, and Su Yan made no attempt to hide his feelings for her.
The original owner's face was truly remarkable; a divorced woman with a daughter could still attract such a stunningly handsome man.
Not to mention how important this man's identity is. After thinking about it carefully today, she felt that this Su Yan was most likely the famous Prime Minister Su.
This world is pretty crazy, and the craziness makes it even more interesting.
When she got home, Sun almost couldn't keep up her smile when she saw that the handsome young man on the oxcart was gone.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You won't even come over for a meal!"
Ye Panjiu patted her shoulder, "Second sister-in-law, hurry up and get to work and earn money."
Beauty is fleeting, money is real.
"Let's go, let's go, I want to see how long these stall owners can hold out!" Mrs. Sun quickly rolled up her sleeves and walked briskly.
Ye Panjiu set up her stall for another six days without any major incidents, watching the braised food stalls open and close like a flowing river.
