Chapter 307 Heard
At this moment, Ye Hua came out from the back gate of the academy.
"Did you need something from me?"
When Feng Xinshui, dressed in a long robe, saw Ye Hua at the door, her eyes seemed to light up; the feeling was too obvious.
"I need to talk to you about something. Can we talk while we walk?"
Ye Hua nodded.
Ever since she saved the scholar that day, the two have been in frequent contact, and Feng Xinshui has helped her with a few small favors.
The two were already acquainted.
That's right, Feng Xinshui said her name is Feng Xinshui.
Since it's a homophone, he can't really be considered lying.
After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, Ye Hua steered the conversation back to the main topic, "Didn't you say you had something to say? Go ahead and say it."
Feng Xinshui lowered her head and stammered, "Madam Ye, I made money copying books. I'm so grateful for your care these past few days. I'd like to invite you to dinner to express my thanks."
Ye Hua was surprised for a moment, "No need, just take care of yourself."
"No, that won't do. You've helped me so much, I have to thank you no matter what."
Feng Xinshui seemed to have mustered her courage, her tone still tinged with embarrassment, "If you don't want to, I'll keep this to myself and won't know how to deal with you anymore."
Ye Hua was afraid that refusing would hurt his pride, so she hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Alright then, let's go together."
She originally thought it would just be a casual meal at a roadside stall, but unexpectedly Feng Xinshui brought her to Juxiangyuan.
"Go to the private room upstairs."
Just as Ye Hua was about to speak, Feng Xinshui said, "There are too many people coming and going here, so it's not convenient to talk. I don't like being watched. Don't worry, even in a private room, there will be waiters to serve you."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
She was someone who didn't know how to refuse, and Feng Xinshui didn't seem like a bad person to her.
"I'd like a private room."
Just as the two went upstairs, another guest arrived at the door.
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Wan turned around.
"Madam Ye, what a coincidence, you're here to eat too?" Young Master Pei was quite surprised.
I never expected to run into her today.
The red pendant on her forehead was so red it looked like it was dripping blood. I had never seen her dressed like this before, and it made people lose their minds for a moment.
Young Master Pei regained his voice and took the initiative to speak: "The weather is too cold, so the mutton from home is especially popular, and it has a milder flavor. I wouldn't eat a single bite of ordinary mutton."
Ye Wan smiled and said, "Young Master Pei is an ethereal fairy who doesn't eat the food of mortals."
This sounded so awkward. Pei San felt like it was a compliment, but it didn't seem like one either. Who would compliment a man as a fairy?
There's a strange feeling I can't quite put my finger on.
"Meeting is fate, so let's stay together..."
Young Master Pei hesitated, and before he could finish speaking, he heard loud laughter coming from the doorway.
"Of course we'll go together. Seeing such a handsome young man makes me want to eat two more bowls of rice."
"Mother, what brings you here?"
When Ye Wan saw Aunt Cai get off the carriage, she immediately smiled and hurriedly went to greet her.
Aunt Cai grasped Ye Wan's hand tightly, "It's been so long since I've seen you, I've been really missing you, so I came to see you."
"I miss my mother too."
As the mother and daughter walked inside, talking, Ke Xinrui suddenly turned around from a small stall across the street and stared intently at the entrance.
"Mingzhu, did you see that person just now?"
Ke Xinrui's voice was excited and trembling, "Did you see it?"
"Mother, who is it?"
Tao Mingzhu's feet were so cold she could barely feel them. How could this godforsaken place be so cold?
It was the first time she had ever seen snow. After the initial excitement, she was immediately struck by the cold, which made her feel like she was about to freeze to death.
Unable to find anyone in the capital, they heard that their maternal grandfather was in Jingzhou, so they came to Jingzhou.
The mother and daughter, along with their maids and servants, managed to find a place to stay. Vegetable prices had been too high these past few days, so they had to come out to find something to eat, which actually saved them some money.
It's mainly for the two of them to eat, so there's no need to give any to the servants.
Ke Xinrui held her daughter's hand, extremely excited, "Never mind, you were so young back then, it's normal that you didn't recognize her. That's my mother, that was my mother just now, let's go over there quickly."
I was stopped as soon as I arrived at the entrance of Juxiangyuan.
"Gentlemen, what brings you here...?"
The waiter looked Ke Xinrui up and down, not thinking she was someone who could afford to eat here.
Ke Xinrui was instantly filled with shame and anger. She had lost all her valuables and was at her wits' end. She had already pawned her valuable jewelry and changed her clothes into ordinary coarse cloth. She never expected to encounter such a snobbish person.
Tao Mingzhu said in a soft, sweet voice, "We came in to find someone, could you please be lenient with us, young man?"
Who are you looking for?
The waiter saw that she was a pretty young girl and was willing to say a few more words to her.
"It's that old lady who just went in..."
Before Tao Mingzhu could finish speaking, the waiter waved his hand and said no, "That lady is not someone that just anyone can see. Please don't make things difficult for a servant like me. If you have nothing else to do, please go somewhere else. This place is not for unauthorized personnel."
That's Lady Ye's mother; there are plenty of people who want to curry favor with her, and he wants to too.
Ke Xinrui was furious. "What! What does he mean?!"
She had never been so humiliated in her entire life.
People who are used to a smooth and successful life and are pampered will naturally have a big temper.
Tao Mingzhu sighed, "Mother, let's squat here and wait. I don't believe that Grandmother can ignore me once she sees me."
With the cold wind blowing outside, Ke Xinrui and Tao Mingzhu felt even colder.
The hot pot in the private room was steaming hot.
"Young Master Pei, let's eat mutton. In winter, you have to eat mutton to keep warm, otherwise you'll easily get cold."
Aunt Cai happily picked up clean chopsticks and placed a piece of meat on Pei Zhichuan's plate.
She was so handsome that even a young master would want to take a second look. She looked, so what was wrong with that?
"Thank you, Madam." Young Master Pei smiled, his smile as warm as the winter sun, dazzling to the eye.
Aunt Cai whispered to Ye Wan, "I think this one is good too, why don't you marry him?"
Anyway, Ye Wan and Lin Anyuan didn't have a formal wedding ceremony, so they weren't considered a proper married couple. And now, Wanwan's status wasn't unworthy of Pei San.
Besides, this kid is interested...
Pei Zhichuan, who was opposite Ye Wan, was suddenly stunned and looked at her.
Ye Wan sighed helplessly, "Mother, keep your voice down, or someone will hear us."
After drinking two cups of wine, Aunt Cai got so excited that she completely disregarded how loud her voice was.
Saying that in front of the person involved and getting caught is fortunate that Ye Wan has a thick skin.
"I'm sorry, my mother is drunk and has eaten enough, so we'll head back now," Ye Wan explained to Young Master Pei.
Aunt Cai exclaimed, "I'm not drunk, I..."
Ye Wan quickly told Hui Gu to drag the person away, because Aunt Cai might say something inappropriate while drunk.
