Chapter 164 Go to see Master Shen
"My mother has lost her value in the Li family. Whose loss is it? Isn't it all you, Grandpa?" Li Jiaojiao continued:
"It's fine if you don't defend her, but you actually lecture her. Is there any father like you?"
"How dare you talk to me like that, you little bitch!"
Mr. Zhang was about to hit her, but Mrs. Zhang stopped him and said, "Master, if you beat her up, it will be a joke if someone sees it."
Rich man Zhang wanted to slap Li Jiaojiao in the face, but when he thought of the land tax for the thirty acres of land, he snorted coldly and left with his hands behind his back.
"Madam, my son-in-law is here." The servant He Ma walked in.
Zhang Shui Niang said with a stern face: "Mom, I can't go back now."
"Okay, you and Jiaojiao can go to my room and rest for a while!" Old Mrs. Zhang said unhappily, and then said to Mother He, "Let him in."
Zhang Shuiniang then took Li Jiaojiao and went into Old Lady Zhang's room and closed the door.
After a while, Li Zhiyuan came and bowed respectfully to Old Lady Zhang: "Mother."
"Hmph, I don't care what your ex-wife does. My daughter and granddaughter have no obligation to endure your bullying." Old Mrs. Zhang turned her head away, looking down on Li Zhiyuan.
Li Zhiyuan looked at Old Lady Zhang's condescending attitude and couldn't help but tense up:
"Yes, it's my fault. I will definitely treat Shui Niang well in the future. Where are they?"
"Your father is talking to them. Go back first and come back later."
Li Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel nervous and turned away.
It was not until almost noon that he came again and saw Zhang Shuiniang and her daughter sitting in the main room.
As soon as she saw him, she pouted and turned away.
Li Zhiyuan quickly stepped forward to coax her: "Shui Niang, it's all my fault."
Zhang Shuiniang knew that Li Zhiyuan was not to blame for this, but Ye Caiping! Blame her for making so much money...
But she had to put all the blame on Li Zhiyuan, otherwise wouldn't it seem that she was inferior to Ye Caiping?
Zhang Shuiniang turned her body away and didn't look at him.
Li Zhiyuan was so tired of coaxing Zhang Shuiniang that she was willing to go back with him.
Before leaving, Old Lady Zhang said, "Mother He, please send the young lady and the son-in-law back!"
Having been a wealthy lady for so many years, Mrs. Zhang knows how to manipulate people's hearts.
Mother He followed the three people respectfully.
When Li Zhiyuan saw that the Zhang family had sent servants to see them off, he felt relieved.
It is different after all. Shui’s family has servants!
Ye Caiping's family doesn't even have a servant!
At least on this point, Shui Niang is better than Ye Caiping.
After returning home and He Ma left, Zhang Shui Niang said, "My father said that if you let me suffer this kind of injustice again next time, I will never forgive you."
Zhang Shuiniang couldn't let Li Zhiyuan know that she was not favored in her parents' home.
She must be the most pampered lady in the Zhang family, otherwise Li Zhiyuan would always pamper her.
"Yes, yes." Li Zhiyuan apologized repeatedly, but he felt a little tired.
"Dad, don't take today's incident to heart." Li Jiaojiao said sensibly, "As long as you pass the imperial examination, you can get rid of this anger."
Li Zhiyuan immediately nodded as if he had been injected with chicken blood: "Yes! Earning a few lousy dollars is nothing. Scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans are the lowest class! She will regret it later!"
"Shui Niang, don't worry. Starting today, I will work twice as hard! I will definitely pass the provincial examination this year! I will let you live a good life."
He wants to be a juren! He wants to become a Jinshi! Become a nobleman!
When the time comes, even if Ye Caiping kneels in front of him with those few coins in her hand, he will not even pay any attention to her.
Just thinking about it makes him excited.
He turned around and went into the study, and started to study hard.
…
When Mrs. Zhao returned to Qinghe Village, she rushed to Ye Caiping's house immediately, laughing and sharing her achievements.
Ye Caiping listened to her words and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
Isn't Mrs. Zhao afraid of being beaten for talking like that?
"How come you are so awesome?" Old Mrs. Ye smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed together, and she gave the other person a handful of freshly roasted melon seeds.
But Mrs. Zhao put the melon seeds back and grabbed a handful of the most expensive candied fruit.
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Zhao packed a bag of melon seeds and left.
Old Man Ye walked out of the room, but he was a little worried: "Although we have nothing to do with Li Zhiyuan anymore, Mrs. Zhao goes to provoke him from time to time. Will something go wrong?"
"There will be a provincial examination this year, and I'm afraid that Li Zhiyuan will pass. A juren is different from a xiucai, and the county magistrate will give him some face. As the saying goes, the people should not fight with the officials..."
Ye Caiping's eyes flickered slightly.
According to the plot, Li Zhiyuan will pass the imperial examination this year.
If she hadn't come through, Li Jiaojiao would have drawn the supernatural power of "Visible Eyes" in the space, an ability of clairvoyance that could be used once every three days.
Through her ability of clairvoyance, she saw the test questions in advance.
With her help, Li Zimo would pass the county examination, the academy examination and the provincial examination successively and win the title of Jieyuan in one fell swoop.
Li Zhiyuan also won the second place in the provincial examination and became a well-deserved juren.
But in this life, Li Jiaojiao is not so lucky.
Without Li Jiaojiao's help, Li Zhiyuan and Li Zimo were a mess!
In order to highlight the importance of Li Jiaojiao, the book clearly states that Li Zhiyuan's success in becoming a scholar was entirely due to luck.
Whether it is Li Zimo or Li Zhiyuan, neither of them has real talent or knowledge, so it would be a miracle if they could succeed.
The most important thing for her now is to block Li Jiaojiao's second benefactor!
In another seven or eight days, Li Jiaojiao will meet the Duke's wife who is in trouble.
This time, she must be the first to rescue the Duke's wife!
"Don't worry, Dad. They can't win." Ye Caiping said.
Old Man Ye sighed softly: "I hope so!"
"It's getting late. Isn't Caiping going to look for that Master Chen?" said Old Lady Ye.
"Okay, I'll go right away. I'll change my clothes first." Ye Caiping said and went into the room.
When she came out again, Old Lady Ye smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I saw you dressed up."
Ye Caiping wore an apricot-colored top with a light green horse-faced skirt, and a rare silver hairpin on her head.
She also put on some lip balm.
A rosy lip color can enhance one's spirit.
"It's a bit plain. Now that you have money, you should buy more hairpins and bracelets. It would be better to buy a few big gold hairpins to wear." said Old Lady Ye.
The corners of Ye Caiping's mouth twitched slightly. She didn't want to wear a big, old-fashioned gold hairpin.
"Not plain at all. This is Xuan'er's apprenticeship, not a wedding. As long as you are clean and decent and don't lose your manners, it will be fine."
"Too."
"Little sister, let's go!" Ye Daquan's voice came from outside the door.
Ye Caiping walked out.
I saw two ox carts pulled out, Daquan and Erquan driving one each.
One was for delivering goods and the other was for Ye Caiping.
"Oh, little sister, you look so beautiful today." Brother Ye Daquan's eyes lit up as he looked at her.
Ye Caiping chuckled: "Let's go!" and got into Ye Daquan's car.
Ye Erquan pulled Hu La Tang, and Wei followed.
From now on, the delivery business will belong to the two brothers.
The two discussed the delivery procedure and the two rooms took turns delivering the goods.
Ye Daquan and the Du couple sent it for fifteen days, and Erquan and the Wei family sent it for fifteen days.
