Chapter 165 Go to see Master Shen 2
Soon, Ye Caiping and Ye Daquan arrived at the town.
The ox cart stopped in front of Mr. Qian's house.
After a while, Master Qian and Ye Xuan came out together.
"When you meet someone, be respectful." Master Qian looked at Ye Xuan with some concern.
"The student knows." Ye Xuan cupped his hands.
Master Qian was very satisfied and hoped that Xuan'er would be favored.
Ye Caiping looked at Ye Xuan, who was wearing a gray scholar's robe and a black scholar's hat on his head, and looked handsome and elegant. It's not impolite to ask to become a disciple in this state.
The ox cart slowly moved away and soon arrived at Shunke Building.
From a distance, I saw Shen Manman standing at the door twisting her handkerchief.
Seeing the ox cart coming, Shen Manman pouted her lips: “You just came.”
"Sorry, something happened at home, so I'm a little late." Ye Caiping got off the ox cart.
Shen Manman looked at Ye Caiping and thought she was dressed too plainly.
But after dressing like this, she looks a few years younger and more radiant.
"Who is he?" Shen Manman looked at Ye Xuan, "Is he your son?"
"No, he's my nephew." Ye Caiping said with a smile, "Come, Xuan'er, this is Miss Shen, Master Shen's youngest daughter."
"Hello, Miss Shen." Ye Xuan greeted politely.
Shen Manman felt a little strange: "Since you want to take him, why not take your own son, but your nephew?"
Ye Caiping was stunned: "I don't have a son, only two daughters."
Shen Manman choked: “If you don’t have a son, then bring your daughter, why bring your nephew?”
Xiao Qiu nodded: "That's right!"
This aunt doesn't look very smart, and the master hates stupid people, so it's strange that he would like her.
Ye Caiping and Ye Xuan, father and son, were completely confused.
Ye Caiping looked strange: "Because the one who wants to become my disciple is my nephew, not my daughter."
Shen Manman and Xiao Qiu: “…”
Shen Manman took a long time to react before she said, "Want to be...master?"
"Yeah. Otherwise, what else would it be?"
Shen Manman felt dizzy and almost fell over.
"Miss Chen, are you okay?" Ye Caiping asked anxiously.
Shen Manman felt awkward as if she had swallowed a fly: “No… I thought… ahem, it’s okay!”
She thought that Aunt Ye wanted to marry her father and become her stepmother!
It made her observe her for so many days in vain, and she thought she was still qualified...
call……
Shen Manman rolled her eyes and looked up at the sky, so angry!
Ye Caiping thought the little girl was very cute as she rolled her eyes, looked up at the sky, stamped her feet and twisted her handkerchief.
"Miss Shen, can we set off now?" Ye Caiping asked with a smile.
Shen Manman had a look of despair on her face: "Uh... um..."
She didn't want her father to accept any more students at all.
And her father wouldn't accept it.
But she agreed yesterday. You can't say that she has been being self-indulgent all this time and agreed because she thought she wanted to be her stepmother, right?
Now I can only take them to see him.
"Miss Shen, do you want to get on the ox cart?" Ye Xuan asked politely.
“No…I need to move more.” Shen Manman walked forward, swinging her handkerchief.
Ye Caiping and her companions didn't feel comfortable riding in the ox cart, so they followed her.
Ye Daquan left the ox cart to Shunkelou for care and then chased after him.
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the Shen family mansion.
The gatekeeper smiled and bent down as soon as he saw Shen Manman: “The young lady is back.”
"Where's my dad?"
"The master is out and may not be back until the evening."
"Well, it's not that I don't want to help you, but my father is not at home." Shen Manman spread her hands.
Ye Xuan and Ye Daquan were disappointed.
Ye Caiping thought for a moment and took out a box from her sleeve. This was the glass paperweight she had prepared: "Thank you, Miss Shen. This is a gift we prepared. I hope you can give it to him."
Send the gift to him, maybe he will be surprised.
Shen Manman was startled, old man?
Is her father very old?
Thinking about it, she started to laugh and wanted to play a trick on Ye Caiping, so she asked the servant, "Did he go somewhere?"
"Yes."
Shen Manman's clear eyes turned and looked at Ye Caiping and said:
"Let me be clear with you. My father retired a long time ago and no longer teaches. He won't listen to a word I say."
"But if someone speaks, he will definitely listen! If you go south from here, you will see a river. There is a young man fishing there. If you can help him catch some fish, he will agree to let my father take in your nephew."
"Really?" Ye Caiping's eyes lit up.
"I have never lied to you." Shen Manman raised her head slightly with pride, "I will do what I say."
Ye Caiping believed this. Although Shen Manman had a temper like a young lady, she would not lie.
"As for this gift, if the young master agrees, you can deliver it in person."
"Thank you, Miss Shen."
Ye Xuan said: "Aunt. Leave the rest to me. I know how to fish."
Shen Manman puffed up her little face: “I said, let Aunt Ye go.”
Ye Xuan frowned: "It's me who wants to become your disciple, so naturally I have to go. My aunt has done enough for me."
Shen Manman pinched her small waist with both hands: "Oh, why are you like this? That was recommended by me, so naturally I have to appoint someone to go. Believe it or not, I will put eye drops on my father and won't accept you."
Ye Xuan was speechless. Why was it so difficult to find a teacher?
"Okay." Ye Caiping pulled Ye Xuan aside, "I handled this matter from beginning to end, so you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, I have time now."
The workshop runs smoothly, and as for the ingredients, she can get them in ten minutes or so.
"Little sister..." Ye Daquan felt that Ye Caiping was too wronged, begging this and that.
Ye Caiping didn't think so. She thought it would just require more effort, but it didn't mean she would be treated like a slave.
My nephew has talent, so he must not be buried. There must be one person from their Ye family.
"Brother, please send Xuan'er back to Master Qian first." Ye Caiping said.
Ye Daquan didn't want to go.
Ye Caiping glared: "Go quickly."
Only then did Ye Daquan reluctantly pull Ye Xuan away.
…
Ye Caiping followed Shen Manman's words and walked south along the river.
The further we walked, the fewer people there were, and finally we saw a bamboo forest.
When I got closer, I really saw someone fishing there.
She was dressed in a dark blue dress and a straw hat on her head. From a distance, she seemed to have merged into the bamboo forest, like a slowly unfolding ink painting.
Is it him?
Ye Caiping walked over and said, "Sir, nice to meet you."
The other person raised his head and looked at her.
Ye Caiping couldn't help but be dazzled by him. She saw that the man had a handsome face, with calm and distant eyes that outlined a delicate contour. His eyes were clear, but like the water in a cold pond.
Born noble, yet leisurely and natural.
He said calmly, "What's the matter, girl?"
"Miss Chen asked me to come find you. Your surname is also Chen, right? My surname is Ye." Ye Caiping looked at him carefully.
His eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Shen Manman, and you can tell at a glance that they are closely related.
But Shen Manman is delicate and charming, while this man is elegant and cold.
"She asked you to find me?" Shen Zhiyan nodded.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Yes. It's like this, my nephew is a scholar and wants to find a good teacher. I heard that there is a Mr. Shen who retired from the Imperial College. Unfortunately, we can't get in."
“Later, I met Miss Shen, and she said, Master Shen, you are fishing here. If I can help you catch the fish, you will let Master Shen accept my nephew.”
Shen Zhiyan frowned slightly. That rebellious girl was making fun of him again.
Moreover, he had stopped accepting students a long time ago and just wanted to spend his days leisurely and enjoy fishing.
