Chapter 354 Departure to the Capital
Ye Xuan was almost scared to tears.
Mr. Shen...uncle?
He had only been away for a few days, and when he came back the world had changed.
The husband becomes the uncle, the aunt becomes the teacher's wife, when did this world become so crazy?
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan suddenly ran out of the door and soon arrived at Ye Caiping's house.
Ye Caiping was about to go out the door, and when she saw Ye Xuan, she smiled and said, "Oh, Xuan'er is finally back?"
Ye Xuan looked at her, stunned.
Ye Caiping was confused by his gaze and touched her face. Was there something on her face?
Ye Xuan's eyes were red. "Aunt, I will definitely try my best to study and pass the imperial examination. If I can't do it, I will die to apologize!"
"Uh..." Ye Caiping's mouth twitched. Was this nephew stimulated by something? "Just do your best. There's no need to die as a token of apology."
"No, I don't want to!" After saying that, he wiped his tears firmly, turned around and walked back.
It was a good road, but it turned out to be full of people who were ready to die with a sense of righteousness.
He must work hard to pass the exam and not let his aunt down. After all, the aunt even sacrificed herself in order to find a husband for him.
Ye Caiping looked at his back, puzzled.
At this time, a maid came up and said, "Madam, are we going out now?"
Ye Caiping nodded: "Let's go."
The maid quickly put the cloak in her hand on Ye Caiping, and the master and servant left one after another.
They were about to set off, and Ye Caiping wanted to see the progress of the bridge.
......
Since that day when Li Zhiyuan and his mother came back from Qinghe Village, they have been making a lot of noise every day.
Mrs. Li was either crying or beating Zhang Shui-niang until she screamed and swore, "It's all because of you that my Zhi-yuan got ruined. Otherwise, we would have been the best of the best."
Li Zhiyuan drank all day and night, and when he got drunk he yelled in the direction of Qinghe Village: "I, Li Zhiyuan, do not regret it! Not at all!"
"The one I love is Zhang Shuiniang! Shuiniang is the daughter of the Zhang family, who are you, Ye Caiping..."
I am sober today and want to drink, but there is not a drop of wine in the jug.
At this time, the sound of Li Pozi beating Zhang Shuiniang could be heard from outside.
Li Zhiyuan was upset and stumbled out of the door, wandering aimlessly in the village.
I don’t know how long I walked, nor where I was going.
Gradually, there was a noise coming from the front, with people banging things and laughing loudly.
"Madam Ye, you're here!" A voice suddenly sounded.
Li Zhiyuan looked up suddenly.
I had unknowingly walked to He'an Village, which was the construction site of the bridge, where a group of strong laborers were working.
Among the crowd, a red figure was particularly conspicuous.
From a distance, one could see her wearing a bright red cloak with a dark cloud pattern and white fur edges, her black hair lightly tied up, and the ruby and red gold tassel hairpin on her head reflecting a luxurious glow in the sun.
She was talking to an old man, speaking slowly and with a smile on her face.
The cloak cast a thin layer of red on her fair little face, making her already beautiful face even more gorgeous.
In the warm sunshine of early winter, she is charmingly beautiful and elegant, like a slowly blooming hibiscus.
When he saw her, Li Zhiyuan was stunned. This is... Ye Caiping!
This was the first time he had seen her since they met in the mountains in May and June.
In just a few months, she had changed into someone he couldn't recognize.
At this time, a little maid came forward and handed over a hand warmer: "The weather is cold, my lady, please don't let your hands get cold."
Ye Caiping took it and said, "It's getting late, let's go back."
"yes."
Ye Caiping turned around and walked away gradually, with the little maid following closely behind her.
Li Zhiyuan looked at her back and was stunned.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered how Zhang Shuiniang looked when he first met her.
He clearly remembered that scene.
But at this moment, he couldn't remember how amazing it was at that time.
All that was left before my eyes was Ye Caiping's receding red figure, walking slowly and gracefully, with an indescribable nobility and grace, which amazed the entire early winter.
It also amazed his eyes and his heart.
Just like back then, it was a figure that he could never reach, like a dream, forever out of his reach.
Li Zhiyuan stared in a daze until the figure completely disappeared.
He couldn't recover for a long time.
I don’t know how long it was before he screamed “Ah!” and squatted on the ground, holding his head and crying.
He regretted it!
I really regret it!
The regret that he had been deceiving himself and suppressing for a long time came flooding back like a tidal wave, tormenting him to pieces.
He shouldn't have married Zhang Shuiniang!
Ye Caiping was originally prettier than Zhang Shuiniang. Why did he divorce Ye Caiping for Zhang Shuiniang?
He didn't understand why he did that at the time.
But what's the use of regretting now? It's all too late.
Li Zhiyuan didn't know how he got home.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhang Shuiniang chopping wood.
Her skinny and sallow face, her skinny body, even the tattered clothes on her body could barely hold up. Where was the pride of the high-and-mighty lady she once was?
Hearing the voice, she turned around woodenly and looked at him.
The way she looked at people was empty, like a dead person.
Li Zhiyuan stood at the door and did not go in. He stared blankly into Zhang Shuiniang's dead eyes.
Then, he suddenly became angry and rushed over to punch and kick Zhang Shui Niang:
"What else can you do besides washing clothes and chopping wood? You're useless!"
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! If you hadn't seduced me, I wouldn't have divorced Cai Ping! You shameless thing..."
Zhang Shuiniang was beaten so hard that she bit her lips tightly but said nothing.
The son is in jail, the daughter is missing...
The one in front of her beat her, and she thought the one in front of her was a good destination for her, but he still beat her...
She held her head, curled up in the corner and endured it in despair.
......
November 18th is a great day to travel.
At the Fucheng Pier, all the members of the Ye family came to see them off.
In addition, there were officials and yamen runners such as Qin Zhifu, He Xianling and Zhu Sinong.
On this trip, Ye Caiping brought Jin'er and Huan'er, Ye Daquan and his wife, Ye Xuan and Jinhua.
In addition, there are several familiar people from Yejia Village, such as Ye Bajin and Ye Siquan.
Ye Caiping is going to get married in the capital, so naturally the more family members she has, the better.
Old Lady Ye held Ye Caiping's hand, giving her instructions again and again, and finally looked at Shen Zhiyan and said, "Mr. Shen, Caiping is now in your hands."
Not just asking him to take care of it on the way, but really handing it over to him.
This time they went to the capital, and when they came back they were husband and wife.
Shen Zhiyan gently took Ye Caiping's hand and nodded: "Don't worry. Zhiyan will naturally treat Caiping as a treasure."
Ye Caiping's face turned slightly red and she smiled gently.
Ye Jin'er and the other three maids huddled together, whispering.
Shen Manman: "Look, holding hands..."
Ye Jiner: "Hehe..."
Ye Huan'er: "You guys think...is that early birth of a baby true?"
The three of them gasped, and Shen Manman said happily: “It must be true.”
Ye Xuan standing behind the three girls: Although they are a talented man and a beautiful woman... but... he still can't get used to it, it's so scary!
Just think about the strict teacher becoming his uncle, and he has to see him not only in class, but also when he gets home... He feels a little overwhelmed. What should he do?
Ye Caiping in the front said, "Dad and Mom, you should also take care of your health."
Mrs. Du had just finished talking to Ye Yong and Xiuxiu when she came over and said, "I'll leave Xiuxiu in your care, Dad and Mom."
"Also...I have been looking for a wet nurse for Xiuxiu recently. But time is too tight and I can't find a suitable one. Please continue to look for one for her later."
Old Lady Ye nodded: "Don't worry."
Ye Caiping looked at Magistrate He and Zhu Sinong again and said, "I originally wanted to harvest cassava in December, but I didn't expect that I would have to go to the capital. I'll leave the sixty acres of cassava in my care, and when the time comes, you can just look for my father."
The two of them quickly agreed: "Don't worry, Madam Ye, whether it's Cassava or your family, we will take good care of them."
Ye Caiping smiled and nodded, feeling relieved.
After chatting for a few more words, Ye Caiping and her group boarded the ship.
