Chapter 222 Why Are You Here?
Old Mrs. Ye asked about the situation of Zhao Jinshan and Ye Lu again.
Ye Xuan said: "They all passed, let's take the prefectural exam together tomorrow."
Wei was a little unlucky again. Four people took the exam together, but only his son failed!
Thinking of this, she pinched Ye Peng again, making him scream.
The whole family was happy because Ye Xuan passed the county exam.
But the family didn’t dare to be happy too early or celebrate because there was still a provincial exam tomorrow, which was the key.
The next morning, Ye Daquan sent Jin'er and the others to class, and Ye Xuan and the other two went to the provincial capital.
In the evening, Ye Xuan returned safely.
As for the results, they will be announced seven days later.
During these seven days, Ye Xuan did not have to go to Shen's house for classes. He read books at home every day. He said that his teacher allowed him to relax.
Ye Caiping, however, felt that Shen Zhiyan wanted to be lazy.
Ye Caiping didn't have time to think so much because she was busy with a lot of things.
Bricks for the furniture workshop were transported into the village in batches, and the team was busy recruiting people to build the workshop.
When the villagers heard that Ye Caiping was going to build another workshop, their eyes lit up. Not to mention the wages for building a house, they would also have to hire a lot of people after it was completed.
Those who were not hired by the Hu La Tang workshop were extremely happy.
Ye Li is in charge of recruiting people to build houses.
Ye Lizheng not only recruited people in his own village, but also in Wangjia Village.
Because most of the people who are good at building houses have joined the Hu La Tang workshop, we have to recruit people from other villages.
When the people in Wangjia Village heard that they were recruiting workers, they were so happy.
In addition to the furniture workshop, there are three days left for Ye Daquan's family to celebrate their new home.
Mrs. Du was so happy that she was busy running in and out, but Ye Daquan was listless all day long.
Now that his own house is built, he will have to move out of his younger sister's house, which makes him sad.
The brother and sister were chatting in the corridor.
Ye Caiping looked at Ye Daquan's depressed look and didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only say, "I still say the same thing, you can come and stay whenever you want."
Ye Daquan looked at her eagerly: "Then I want to live here for three months and then another three months like I am doing now."
Ye Caiping said: "Be careful or your sister-in-law will beat you."
"She won't hit me, she just wants me to get out of here."
Ye Caiping rolled her eyes at him and said, "My sister-in-law is really suffering from marrying an unreliable husband like you. You have to be nicer to her."
"Got it." Ye Daquan suddenly laughed, "I've reserved a room for my little sister! It's the upper room on the right."
Ye Caiping said, "That's for my parents to live in. The elders should live in the upper room."
"Then live in the first room in the east wing."
"That place is for Yong'er and Xuan'er to live in. If you really want to reserve a room for me, then just reserve one in the west wing. Otherwise, I won't live there."
She had her own big house in the village, so how could she occupy the best room in Ye Da's family?
And the West Wing is also very nice.
"Okay, then you have to stay at my house on the day of the move."
"OK!"
At this time, Ye Xuan came over and said, "Dad, aunt, do you want to invite Mr. to drink housewarming wine on the day of moving?"
Ye Caiping was startled, then nodded: "I almost forgot. Take the invitation and send it to the town now."
Ye Xuan responded, turned around and went out.
…
Shen's house, in the study.
Shen Zhiyan was playing chess by himself. Ye Xuan stood in front of him respectfully and held up an invitation:
"In three days, my student's family will be moving to a new house. Please come and visit us, sir."
Shen Zhiyan glanced at him and said, "Why are you here?"
Ye Xuan: “…”
He is coming? Shouldn't he be the one to come?
Shen Zhiyan felt that this kind of thing was usually done by Ye Caiping, and it felt strange that Ye Xuan suddenly came to run errands.
Shen Zhiyan said: "Thank you for the invitation, but I just don't have time these days."
"I received news this morning that a classmate passed away. I was preparing to go and pay my respects."
Ye Xuan suddenly realized: "I see, how long will you be gone, sir?"
"My classmate is from Hengzhou. It will take at least half a month to go back and forth, plus stay for a few days. You can come back after half a month."
Ye Xuan listened to his words, but his expression was pleasantly surprised: "Teacher, do you know that I will definitely pass the prefectural examination? If I don't pass..."
"But don't come."
Ye Xuan: “…”
He also thought that if he didn't pass, the teacher would say it didn't matter, and he would continue to teach him!
As it turned out...it turned out that he was overthinking.
At this time, Duanwu walked in and said, "Master, the luggage has been packed."
Shen Zhiyan nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Pack up the new pair of plum bottles, and bring me the ebony box in my room."
Duanwu responded and turned and left.
After a while, he came back, followed by a maid holding a wooden box in her hands. When she opened it, she found a pair of one-foot-tall white porcelain vases with plum blossom patterns.
Shen Zhiyan said: "This is a housewarming gift for you, just to show my appreciation."
Ye Xuan blushed and said in surprise, "No. I came here to treat you to a drink. Now that we haven't had the drink, how can I accept your gift?"
"Besides, farmers only give some rice and eggs when they have a drink, so why would they accept such an expensive gift?"
Shen Zhiyan: "Oh. Duanwu, bring another basket of eggs and two bags of rice."
"No, no, that's not what the student meant!"
Shen Zhiyan smiled and said, "In that case, you can keep this pair of bottles. They are just small things and not worth much."
Ye Xuan was so scared that he quickly took the plum vase from the maid's hand. Otherwise, if he refused again, he didn't know what Mr. Shen would do next.
Duanwu came to Shen Zhiyan again holding a sandalwood box.
When I opened it, there were several jade pendants inside.
Shen Zhiyan picked for a while, then picked up a white jade peace locket with a dark green tassel on it, put it in a brocade box, and stuffed it into Ye Xuan's arms.
Ye Xuan was confused. It would be enough for the gentleman to give him a pair of bottles, why did he also give him a jade pendant?
But he didn't dare ask.
At this time, Xiao Qiu came in, greeted Shen Zhiyan, and then said to Ye Xuan: "Mr. Ye, this is the letter from the young lady to Madam Ye. When she heard that you were here, she asked you to pass it to her."
"Okay, I will." Ye Xuan quickly took the letter.
Ye Xuan hugged a bunch of things, turned around and walked out quickly.
The ox cart was parked outside the Shen family's gate, and there was a gatekeeper, so there was no need to worry about it getting lost.
Ye Xuan put the things on the ox cart and got on it. Just as he was about to leave, Duanwu chased him out:
"Mr. Ye, wait a moment. My master said that we still have to follow your family's customs."
Ye Xuan looked back and saw Duanwu rushing towards him with a basket of eggs in his hand and two large bags of rice on his shoulders.
Ye Xuan was so scared that he quickly whipped the old cow, urging it to move faster, but the old cow was still eating grass and was unwilling to move.
"Hey!" Duanwu threw the two large bags of rice on his shoulder onto his car, put down the basket of eggs, and clapped his hands: "Okay, see you in half a month!"
After saying that, he ran back.
Ye Xuan: “…”
More than two quarters of an hour later, Ye Xuan returned home.
Mrs. Du and Ye Daquan looked at Ye Xuan who went out empty-handed but came back with a bunch of things, and they were all silent.
Mrs. Du scolded, "You unlucky child, I asked you to invite people to dinner, but you couldn't invite anyone, and you brought back so many of their things. Are you going to rob them?"
Ye Xuan: “…”
Is this something I can decide? You have no idea what kind of person he is!
