Chapter 302 Must be a True Gentleman
At this time, Ye Caiping, Shen Zhiyan and others were measuring the dimensions of the room.
All the furniture in all the halls and courtyards, big and small, whether occupied or not, had to be remade.
It was also Ye Caiping's first time to visit Shen Zhiyan's house. She felt that it was simple yet grand, exquisite yet elegant.
Every time they came to a yard, Wang Shuantou and his son would measure the dimensions, and Ye Caiping would record them.
When measuring Chen Manman's room, Wang Shuantou and his son did not go in.
After all, it is a girl’s boudoir.
Ye Caiping came to measure, and Shen Zhiyan helped.
Ye Caiping asked, "By the way, all your furniture is made of red sandalwood. If you replace all of them, what will you do with the old ones? Give them away? Sell them?"
Shen Zhiyan held the ruler by the end and pressed it on the other side of the cabinet: “How can I let others use something I have used.”
Ye Caiping wrinkled her nose and smiled. Did he know that he sounded like a greasy boss when he said that?
"What should we do? We can't just chop it up and burn it! That's such a waste."
"That's easy. I'll buy a farm and move all these things there."
Ye Caiping: “…”
You are such a talent, you can buy a house for furniture.
After measuring the bed, he went to measure Shen Manman’s dressing table, the chaise longue, and the desk…
Wang Shuantou and his son sat silently outside the yard, watching the maids passing by.
Wang Shouqiang: "Dad, you said that the Shen family has so many servants, why did Mr. Shen go to measure the size himself?"
Wang Shuantou was puzzled: "It must be that Mr. Shen loves to work."
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Ye Caiping and the other person finally came out.
Then we went to Shen Zhiyan's yard.
Ye Caiping entered the yard and measured the furniture in all the side rooms. She did not enter the main room where Shen Zhiyan slept, but sat at the door waiting.
Wang Shuantou and his son were measuring Chen Zhiyan's cabinet. After looking around, Wang Shouqiang smiled and said:
"Why is there nothing for a wife in Mr. Shen's room?"
Shen Zhiyan coughed dryly: "No wife."
“Hiss… Did Miss Shen pick it up?”
"My own."
"So your wife... is she in the capital?"
"Divorced."
"Why get a divorce? Mr. Shen is so handsome and rich, how could he be willing to get a divorce?" Wang Shuantou and his son were stunned.
Shen Zhiyan put the books on the table on the bookshelf: "Nothing, just everyone runs away when disaster strikes. Something happened at home a few years ago, and she ran away."
I see!
Wang Shuantou and his son looked at him with sympathy. Mr. Shen was good in every way except that he was a little unlucky.
Wang Shuantou chuckled and said, "Just run away. Anyway, my family is rich, and I can marry as many wives as I want."
Shen Zhiyan coughed dryly and glanced out the window: “What big and small wives, Shen doesn’t have this hobby.”
"Hahaha, right, right! Mr. Shen is serious!" Wang Shuantou and his son looked at each other. It's normal to have such a hobby, right?
Which wealthy family doesn’t have a few beautiful concubines?
Why does Mr. Shen look so unwilling and fearful?
However, when they were measuring the furniture just now, they indeed saw that only two courtyards were used for living.
One is the main courtyard where Shen Zhiyan lives, and the other is the east courtyard where Shen Manman lives. The other yards were empty.
This Mr. Shen, either he is a true gentleman, or...
Well, Mr. Shen is a true gentleman.
Wang Shuantou put away the measuring tape and looked at Shen Zhiyan's bunk bed. Well, it was a very standard bed for a bachelor!
It is about 5 feet wide, and there is only one quilt and pillow.
Wang Shuantou said, "Come on, you have strong hands, hold on."
After the father and son had measured the length of the bed, they were about to measure its width.
Shen Zhiyan said: "The bed should be 6 feet long, a step-out bed."
Wang Shouqiang: "Why? Mr. Shen, don't you sleep alone?"
Wang Shuantou patted his head and said, "I like bigger quilts. I can put more quilts in there! Winter is coming soon. It's not like I'm so poor that I can't afford a bigger one!"
"Oh, yes."
Shen Zhiyan's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned his face away, pretending to organize the bookshelf.
Wang Shuantou said, "Mr. Shen, is your step-out bed 6 feet long including the footrest, or is it 6 feet long just for the sleeping area?"
Shen Zhiyan said calmly: “You need to sleep 6 feet.”
"Okay."
Wang Shuantou turned around and took notes.
A quarter of an hour later, finally everything was measured.
When Shen Zhiyan walked out the door, he saw Ye Caiping sitting on the bench in the corridor. When she saw him, she turned around and said, "Okay?"
"Um."
"Then go back to the village."
…
Shen Manman had been teasing the dog for a long time and was already tired of it.
He was sitting in the corridor, leaning his chin on his hand and looking in the direction of the second door.
After a long while, I finally saw Ye Caiping and Shen Zhiyan coming back.
Shen Manman looked at the two of them coming in together, her eyes narrowed with smile, they looked a perfect match!
But then he saw Wang Shuantou and his son following behind him.
Shen Manman was discouraged. Alas, she had been working hard for so long, why was there no progress at all?
Ye Caiping walked up to her and asked with a smile, "Why do you look so depressed?"
Shen Manman curled her lips: "No!"
Ye Caiping said, "We just went to your house to measure the furniture. We will make you a new dressing table and dressing table."
Shen Manman then smiled: “Okay.”
Shen Zhiyan looked at them, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Soon, lunch was ready.
Old Mrs. Ye asked the kitchen to cook a large table of dishes, and used the serving chopsticks to continuously serve food to Shen Zhiyan and Shen Manman:
“Eat more, Mr. Shen.”
Shen Zhiyan looked at Ye Caiping and smiled, then ate.
Shen Manman smiled: “Thank you, Grandma Ye.”
Ye Caiping kept her head down while eating, and it seemed like she couldn't even pick up any food.
Old man Ye sat aside, confused. Was the old woman a little enthusiastic towards Mr. Shen today?
After lunch, Shen Zhiyan and Shen Manman went back.
Ye Caiping sent them to the door and waved at the carriage as it drove away.
Old Lady Ye walked up to her and coughed dryly: "So, how do you cook that little fish tonight?"
Ye Caiping's face froze: "Haha, I'm going fishing! I'm going now..."
After saying that, he ran towards the river as if escaping.
Old Mrs. Ye didn't ask her any further questions.
I was afraid that even though there was something going on, if she asked about it, it would ruin things.
Anyway, just let it go.
