Chapter 332 Who doesn't know what you are thinking?
Unexpectedly, Ye Caiping was indifferent: "Others don't pass the message, which proves that they don't want to accept her!"
Aunt Rong's face was stiff. What do you mean you don't want to accept it? Didn’t they see anyone?
Aunt Rong didn't want to talk about something that was not spread, so she said awkwardly: "So...that's why we came to see you today."
"Your Jin'er and Huan'er have been transformed since they entered the Shen family. I also want Hongying to gain more experience so that she can deal with anything in the future with maturity. I hope you can help Hongying and let her enter the Shen family! We are both mothers, so you should be able to understand my feelings."
As a mother who only wishes the best for her daughter, who can not sympathize with her?
But Ye Caiping was unsympathetic: "I'm really sorry, I can't help you with this. Mr. Shen doesn't run a girls' school. He hired several teachers to teach Miss Shen. Miss Shen was in need of playmates, so she asked Jin'er and the other girls to go to class together."
Aunt Rong's face stiffened slightly.
In her mind, Ye Caiping is a good person.
The wages in the workshop are much higher than those outside.
Ye Caiping even gave part of her shares in the furniture workshop to her brother, second uncle and the village head.
In addition, they even paid for repairing the bridge.
If this isn’t a good guy, then what is?
I originally thought that as soon as I made the request, Ye Caiping would agree. After all, it was not a big deal and the other party didn't have to pay for it. It was just a matter of opening your mouth.
Unexpectedly, Ye Caiping refused.
Aunt Rong smiled stiffly and said, "No... Caiping, this is just a small matter. Even if we don't run a girls' school, I didn't ask you to send a bunch of girls there. There's only my Hongying. One more or one less won't make a difference."
"I heard that Jinhua has stopped going to class. Isn't this missing one?"
Ye Caiping said, "So Jinhua left, and Miss Chen didn't let me find another girl? Besides, Miss Chen is fourteen years old and will soon stop attending classes."
"Now Jin'er and Huan'er just paint and play the piano casually, just for fun."
Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows as she spoke: "By the way, how old is Hongying?"
Aunt Rong looked unhappy: "Ten or seventeen."
Ye Caiping looked unhappy.
In this era, all girls who are seventeen are married. Of course, she didn't think that a girl of seventeen had to get married and couldn't study.
But it was obvious that Aunt Rong and Ye Hongying were not there to study.
Not to mention that they had offended Shen Manman.
Why should she make Manman unhappy because of these two people?
Seeing Ye Caiping's repeated refusal, Ye Hongying anxiously tugged at Aunt Rong's sleeve.
Aunt Rong said anxiously: "Because I'm seventeen...I haven't found a good family yet, so I want to learn more..."
Their family used to be the richest in the village.
She and her husband Ye Rong, one was the female manager of a jewelry shop in the county, and the other was an accountant. They were knowledgeable and earned a lot. Together, the couple could earn five or six taels of silver every month.
Therefore, the spirit is also high.
The couple brought Ye Hongying up with them since she was a child and trained her to be a lady from a wealthy family, hoping that one day Ye Hongying would become a phoenix and marry into a wealthy family and become a lady.
Unfortunately, I met one person after another.
The family they liked didn't like Ye Hongying.
The wealthy men who were interested in Ye Hongying were either old men in their seventies or eighties, or mentally retarded and disabled.
They knew that Ye Hongying was neither high nor low, but she was unwilling to accept it.
She kept picking until she was seventeen, already an old maid, and still couldn't get married.
At this time, Ye Hongying and Aunt Rong saw Shen Zhiyan on the day when Ye Caiping was conferred the title!
Mr. Shen not only has a big house in the town, but also has a brother who is a minister.
That was simply the highest branch they had ever encountered!
Moreover, Shen Zhiyan was handsome. Although he was in his thirties, he looked like a young man in his twenties.
Ye Hongying didn't mind that Shen Zhiyan was a generation older than her and had a daughter.
Older men like this are easier to win over.
Just think about it, if a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old is surrounding him with admiration every day, which normal man would not be moved?
So Aunt Rong must send Ye Hongying to the Shen family!
Ye Hongying said anxiously, "Aunt Ping... I, I just want to learn more. Please help me! Just like Jinhua, it only takes a few months to open an embroidery shop of my own."
Ye Caiping was too lazy to talk nonsense with them: "I know exactly what you are thinking, so I won't help you. You can go back!"
She is not a fool, how could she let a woman like this get close to her man.
The mother and daughter's faces changed slightly.
Aunt Rong looked puzzled: "What idea? Caiping, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows: "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll tell you the truth. Sister-in-law, you've always wanted Hongying to marry a rich man and become a young lady. Are you... interested in Mr. Chen?"
Aunt Rong's face changed
Ye Hongying was embarrassed and anxious: "Aunt Ping, what are you talking about? I, I don't have such an idea! I just want to learn more."
"Everyone praises you, Aunt Ping, for being kind and generous, but who would have thought you are such a petty person."
"Now that you're rich, you look down on us. In your mind, only your daughter deserves to go to the Shen family's school and become better and better. We should just rot in the fields!"
Ye Caiping almost laughed out of anger when she heard what she said.
At this time, Guixiang suddenly walked in: "Madam Ye, Mr. Shen is here."
Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows: "You're just in time, please ask him to come in."
Since it's his bad love life, let him deal with it himself!
Aunt Rong and her daughter were stunned.
After Guixiang went out, she saw Shen Zhiyan and Duanwu come in after a while.
Ye Hongying looked at the elegant and handsome Shen Zhiyan, her heart pounding, and she was instantly mesmerized, her eyes glued to him tightly, unable to move away.
This is the only man she has ever loved since she was a child.
More handsome and charming than Mr. Chen and the young master of the wealthy Bai family.
Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows: "Here I come."
When Shen Zhiyan saw her, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly smiling, but when he saw that there were two strangers in the room, he nodded slightly.
Ye Caiping glanced at Aunt Rong and her daughter and said, "The furniture is ready. Shall we go get it now?"
"Then go ahead."
The two were about to leave.
Aunt Rong looked at Shen Zhiyan, pursed her lips tightly, and thought this was a good opportunity.
But didn’t Ye Caiping just see through their thoughts? Why was she still willing to call Shen Zhiyan over?
There must be a conspiracy!
So Aunt Rong didn't dare to move.
But Ye Hongying couldn't keep her cool. What she just said was a humiliation to her, and she just wanted to go to class, but Ye Caiping couldn't bear to see her make progress and get along. This was wrong!
As a gentleman, Mr. Shen must teach everyone!
Ye Hongying felt that she was the one being oppressed. Her face flushed as she said anxiously, "Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen!"
Shen Zhiyan paused.
Aunt Rong always felt that something was wrong and wanted to stop it, but Ye Hongying continued to speak:
"My name is Hongying... I heard that Jin'er and Huan'er are taking classes at your house... I want to go too... I also want to study hard, learn how to be a good person, learn a craft, and acquire a skill..."
"So today I came here to ask Aunt Ping for help, hoping that she could help me and let me study at the Shen family."
"But Aunt Ping disagrees. Could it be that... I really don't deserve it?"
As she spoke, Ye Hongying looked at Shen Zhiyan eagerly.
As a teacher, who doesn’t like students who are motivated and eager to learn?
And she's a delicate little beauty.
Seeing her daughter had said so much, Aunt Rong let it all go and wiped away her nonexistent tears:
"My Hongying is just studious, but some people say that my Hongying is not worthy..."
Ye Caiping rubbed her arms. Hiss, he actually started to report her!
Shen Zhiyan raised his eyebrows, his expression cold: “So, are you worthy?”
Ye Hongying and her daughter's faces froze. What was he saying?
Faced with a girl who is ambitious and eager to learn but is bullied, as a respected gentleman, shouldn't he appreciate her, feel angry about her experience, and see the ugly face of Ye Caiping from then on?
That's right, that's...
Thinking about it, Ye Hongying looked up at Shen Zhiyan, her eyes full of courage and confidence:
"I deserve it! No matter what others say about me, I deserve it! No matter how vicious the words are, they can't defeat me!"
At this time, he should look at her with an admiring gaze of "What a confident and brave girl"...
But in fact——Shen Zhiyan: “No, you don’t deserve it.”
Aunt Rong: “…”
Ye Hongying: “…”
I only heard Shen Zhiyan say: "Where did you come from? Does Shen know you? Why should I let you come to my house for classes?"
Ye Hongying and her daughter looked grim. Ye Hongying stammered, "Jin'er and Huan'er are also taking classes at your house..."
"so what?"
so what? Ye Hongying's face turned pale, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment: "I, I want to go too..."
"Why should I let you go?" Shen Zhiyan looked coldly, "Although I am a teacher, my family does not have a school and does not accept students from outside."
"Also, girl, you really need to learn some good manners. Staring at a man you don't know is very rude."
Ye Hongying's head exploded with a rumbling sound, and her face became so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out.
He...saw it! And he even despises her!
Shen Zhiyan looked back at Ye Caiping, the cold frost in his brows melted a little: "Madam Ye, let's go."
"Yeah." Ye Caiping suppressed her smile and walked out with him, one after the other.
The last one walking was mumbling in a voice that everyone could hear:
"Tsk tsk, someone came to report yesterday that a mother and daughter came to see me in the name of Madam Ye. I don't know how many women like this who have impure motives and want to get on with my master have I met every year! So many that I can tell what they are thinking at a glance!"
"How dare you use such a trick like that? My master is talking to them only out of respect for Madam Ye."
"What's funny is that they have impure motives and can't get in, so they come here to ask for help. Others kindly warned them, but they didn't appreciate it. They even wanted to discredit Madam Ye and filed a complaint."
"Of course, I don't deserve this kind of person who is full of evil intentions and mean-spirited. Don't offend my master."
Duanwu walked out while talking and soon disappeared at the second gate.
Ye Hongying and her daughter heard another loud bang, their heads exploded, and they felt like the sky was about to fall.
Oh my god, what did they do? They just showed up yesterday, and they didn’t know about their conversation with Ye Caiping!
How could this little servant guess everything and figure out all their little thoughts after just two glances?
The mother and daughter no longer had the face to stay there, so they turned around and ran away.
Old Mrs. Ye stood at the door of the main hall, looking at their backs and spat fiercely, "What shameless things! They actually had such a crooked idea to try to steal her son-in-law away!"
No, she has to talk to Ye Lizheng!
Old Mrs. Ye walked out quickly and soon arrived at Ye Lizheng's house. She told the story of Aunt Rong and her daughter:
"I don't know what they were thinking. They actually wanted to bring trouble to Mr. Shen under the pretext of going to the Shen family for classes. Is that someone she could even dream of?"
Ye Lizheng was horrified. Aunt Rong was his niece-in-law and Ye Hongying was his great-niece, yet they had done such a shameful thing.
He immediately went to Aunt Rong's house, scolded the two of them severely, and told them not to return to the village unless necessary.
Aunt Rong's family had always been a respectable family in the village. When their secret was exposed, they were afraid that the matter would spread to everyone, so they were scared and returned to the county immediately.
......
But Ye Caiping and Shen Zhiyan walked out of the door and headed towards the furniture workshop.
Ye Caiping smiled all the way: "I don't know how many of these bad peach blossoms I encounter every year. There are so many that I can tell what they are thinking at a glance."
Shen Zhiyan said calmly, "That's exaggerated. There aren't that many. There are a few, but not many. If it weren't for you today, I would usually ignore them."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay to pay attention to it."
"real?"
"Um."
"Then I'll take care of it later."
The two of them didn't say anything more about the mother and daughter.
In her eyes, they were not even clowns.
Soon we arrived at the furniture workshop.
The two watched as the Shen family's servants and workshop workers moved the furniture one piece at a time onto the cart and then pushed it away.
Eight more installers followed them to the town.
Ye Caiping got on the carriage. Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Zhiyan got on Ye Caiping's carriage, sat with her, and gently took her hand.
Shen Zhiyan asked: "When can I be with you openly?"
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "I'll wait for you to come and propose marriage someday."
Shen Zhiyan said happily: "You agreed."
"Um."
Shen Zhiyan's joy was beyond words, and in excitement, he picked up Ye Caiping and put her on his lap.
Ye Caiping only felt her body shake, and quickly put her arms around his neck, her face red.
Finally, she leaned gently into his arms and yawned.
This was the first time we were so intimate, except for that time by the river.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the two leaned against each other, their hearts filled with sweetness. Being with each other, it seemed that even the wind was sweet.
