Chapter 170 This is also what you dug
After dinner, Ye Erquan and his family of four went home.
At night, when they were going to bed, Wei said, "Xuan'er will have to run back and forth from tomorrow. How about letting Peng'er do the same? He won't live with Master Qian, but will bring his own food and pay only one tael a month? How about that?"
Ye Erquan was annoyed: "Why did you save this little bit? When the little sister in front paid, why didn't you come up with this bad idea?"
"Now that my sister doesn't have to pay, you're doing this and that. What do my sister and parents think? You're telling them that when others pay, you can do as much as you want! When it's your own money, you save this and that. What's the matter? Did my sister get her money from the wind?"
Wei's face turned pale and blue: "You... I didn't mean that. I just said one sentence, and you gave me a long speech."
"Then tell me, which of my words was wrong?" Ye Erquan immediately turned over and stood up.
Wei choked and said, "I'm just... not used to it for a while! In the past, we were so poor that we couldn't even eat rice bran porridge. How much is a tael of silver? It hurts to think about it, so I want to save money. How can I adapt as quickly as you?"
Ye Erquan sighed: "Alright! Since you can't adapt to it for the time being, just listen to your parents and little sister. Just do whatever they tell you to do, it won't go wrong."
"Let's not talk about anything else, just this house. At that time you said you wanted to build it with adobe, but it was dad and little sister who stopped us and insisted on building it with blue bricks. Look, now it's built right! If I had really listened to you, I would regret it now."
Wei's face turned red after hearing what she said. When she held the thirty taels, she felt that it was the largest sum of money she had ever received in her life, and she just wanted to hold it in her hands until death.
She never thought that such good days would be waiting for her now.
"Okay, go to sleep!" Ye Erquan said as he lay down. "Let Peng'er go to class as usual. He just needs to pay for two more months of tuition."
"Um."
"By the way, isn't this quilt too hard? Isn't it time to change the quilt in our house? We've been using it for more than ten years. And it's time to buy furniture and bedding for the other rooms. Let's add a big cabinet to our room. The room is big enough anyway."
Wei said, "We've only been delivering goods for a few days, so we should be able to collect at least a dozen taels! Then ask Master Yong'er."
…
The next day, Ye Daquan drove out in a ox cart.
Ye Caiping, Ye Xuan, Du Shi and Jinhua were all sitting on the ox cart.
Mrs. Du came to see Ye Xuan off, and Jinhua was going to work at the cloth shop.
When they arrived at the town, Jinhua got off the ox cart first.
Then they came to the Shen family, and Mrs. Du said, "This Shen family is too grand, and Master Shen is also arrogant. The head of the family and I will not go in. Little sister, please bear with me."
"good."
Ye Caiping carried a basket and led Ye Xuan into the house.
Shen Zhiyan was in the inner hall at this time. When he saw the two of them coming in, he exclaimed, "Madam Ye is here too."
Ye Caiping said, "I came to see him off. And I forgot about the apprenticeship yesterday, so I want to discuss it with Master Shen and choose a good day to hold the apprenticeship banquet."
"No need. Shen doesn't like red tape. Just kowtow here and you'll be polite."
Ye Caiping nodded.
Ye Xuan knelt down quickly: "Student Ye Xuan greets the teacher."
Shen Zhiyan nodded, and the servant beside him hurriedly brought a box over and opened it, revealing a set of four treasures of the study.
Ye Caiping couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. This nanmu box alone would probably cost several taels of silver. Not to mention the exquisite writing inside.
"Thank you, Teacher." Ye Xuan had never seen such good writing before, and he was a little hesitant to accept it.
After he took it, the servant brought another box and opened it, revealing a piece of mutton-fat white jade.
Shen Zhiyan said: "This is white jade. I hope that in the future, a gentleman will be like jade, warm and moist. A gentleman will be like water, benefiting everything but not being clean."
Ye Xuan was deeply alerted after hearing this.
Then he thought, he hadn't even paid the tuition fee, but he could still receive a lot of apprenticeship gifts. His handsome face blushed slightly: "Thank you, teacher."
Ye Caiping felt a little embarrassed when she saw this. They are not really becoming disciples, they are simply fleecing the people. First, take the gift of apprenticeship, then take his knowledge and talent.
Ye Caiping said: "We have also prepared gifts for the Master."
As he spoke, he opened the basket, which contained two strips of bacon, both fat and lean, and a handful of dried vegetables.
Ye Caiping said, "The teacher said that you don't need to pay for the tuition, so we will give you the most practical one. These are all the ones I made myself last autumn."
In ancient times, "Shuxiu" actually meant meat. But later on, meat was rarely given as a gift, only money was given.
Shen Zhiyan glanced at it and was very satisfied: "Okay. Let's have spring bamboo shoots and fried bacon for lunch."
Seeing that he liked it, Ye Caiping felt relieved.
She took out a wooden box from her sleeve (space): "And this, I hope you like it."
Shen Zhiyan took it. The box was ordinary. When he opened it, he was stunned.
I saw a long rectangular object inside, with a light green landscape painting underneath.
"Is this a paperweight?" Shen Zhiyan was a little surprised.
"Yes." Ye Caiping nodded. This was the glass paperweight she bought from the system.
Shen Zhiyan picked it up and said, "It's very valuable. I've never seen such transparent glass. The paintings and the painting inside... well, it's very ordinary, but it wins in terms of its transparent texture. Unfortunately, it's just transparent, and this thing has no charm. But things are precious because they are rare."
Ye Caiping thought silently, of course it has no charm, it's produced on an assembly line.
Naturally, there will be no aura and charm.
Thinking about it, she glanced at him. As expected of a man from a big family, his appreciation ability was excellent.
"Where did you buy this?" He had never seen such craftsmanship before and was very curious.
Ye Caiping said: "I dug this out when I was digging wild vegetables in the mountains."
"Oh?" Shen Zhiyan raised his eyebrows, "Then you also dug this bottle?"
Ye Caiping looked in the direction he pointed and almost sprained her ankle. She saw a bottle on the antique shelf next to her. It was so transparent and shiny. It was the one she sold!
Ye Caiping choked. What kind of fate was this?
