Chapter 281 Is it sweet or not?
"Madam Ye, I will not let you down!"
In a quiet private residence, Ge Yue clenched her fists to show her loyalty after hearing that Ye Wan wanted glass.
His elder brother had already written to him, saying that General Lin was taking good care of him and Uncle Ge in the army, and wouldn't let him go to any dangerous places.
She now lives in Lady Ye's house, eating and drinking well, and Lady Ye even gives her a monthly allowance for doing these useless things.
She couldn't refuse; she had already saved up quite a bit of money.
“Little Yue’er is already very capable. I’m not disappointed at all. You can’t do it all by yourself. I’ll find you some helpers. They will all follow your instructions.”
Ye Wan took the glassware made by Ge Yue, intending to first make money from the nobles, and then lower the price to make it available to ordinary people as everyday utensils.
"Madam, I'll do as you say."
Ye Wan left a watermelon for Ge Yue and left. She was quite generous to her own people. The watermelon was from her personal space.
She was going to ask King Jing for the person.
"Father, are you leaving for the capital today?"
This time, Fang Daru is going to take Aunt Cai with him to the capital.
He has been living in seclusion for so many years, and now he is about to re-emerge.
Scholars from all over the country, having already heard the news, flocked to the capital.
"Yes, Prince Jing asked me to instruct a few young masters. I'll go do it first, and you all will have to go when Lin Anyuan returns." Fang Daru said as he tidied up his books.
"Dad, thank you for your hard work."
Ye Wan smiled.
At first, they might have just wanted to curry favor with someone and become a cheap, albeit inexpensive, father figure. But after spending these past few years together, they've become practically like one of their own parents.
Perhaps because she was indifferent to family in her previous life, she is now fulfilled in this life and even became a mother without pain.
"With you here, Dad doesn't feel tired at all." Fang Daru felt that he was getting younger and younger.
He wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that all of this was related to his daughter, Ye Wan.
As for the reasons, Fang Daru neither guessed nor thought about them.
"Dad, remember to ask me for the person when you go this time!"
Ye Wan explained her needs.
Fang Daru said that it shouldn't be difficult for Prince Jing to find someone.
No sooner had they seen the person off than Butler Lin arrived.
"Madam, a guest has arrived at the door. He says it's an old friend visiting."
Who is it?
Ye Wan guessed it was Liu Wenshu in an instant.
Liu Wenshu is currently serving as Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His position has remained unchanged since Prince Jing entered the capital. Could it be that he has arrived?
After so many years of friendship, Ye Wan went to the front gate to greet them.
As a result, someone she never expected stepped out of the carriage.
Pei Zhichuan is as elegant and refined as a flower on a high mountain.
"So it's Young Master Pei who has graced us with his presence," Ye Wan said politely.
This person is still pretending like this.
"I hope you are well, Madam Ye."
Pei Zhichuan looked at Ye Wan, the woman he once despised but couldn't forget.
And Lin Anyuan...
These two are truly a perfect couple.
Pei Zhichuan suppressed his thoughts and got straight to the point, "I've come today to discuss something with you. I'd like to set up a school in Jingzhou and ask your father to be a teacher there."
"Oh? I wonder who gave Young Master Pei such courage?"
Did they not inform Pei San about who her father was? Or are all young masters from aristocratic families this arrogant?
Is this how you hire someone to be your tutor?
Pei San frowned. "What do you mean by this?"
Good-looking people look good even when they frown, Ye Wan glanced at them a few more times.
“My father has his own things to do. If you want to run a school, go find someone else.”
Ye Wan refused outright.
Pei San: "You..."
"I'm so sorry that it's inconvenient to entertain male guests at home."
Ye Wan spoke with a smile.
Pei San looked at Ye Wan, wanting to get angry but feeling he would lose his composure, so he frowned and asked, "What exactly do you mean?"
He doesn't seem to have offended this woman, does he? Why is he speaking so veiledly?
Or are all people in the countryside just so rude?
"Young master, we have arrived."
At this moment, another carriage slowly stopped at the door, and Baozi, the driver, lifted the curtain.
Ye Wan looked over and saw Liu Wenshu getting off the carriage.
After several years apart, Liu Wenshu had shed his youthful naiveté and become mature and composed. He was still wearing his official robes, suggesting that he had come in a hurry.
The moment he saw Ye Wan again, his heart seemed to stop beating.
"Madam Ye, how have you been?"
"Young Master Liu, how have you been?"
Ye Wan smiled too.
Liu Wenshu's lips curled up in a smile.
The person you fall in love with at first sight will still make your heart flutter no matter how many times you look at them.
Liu Wenshu was always glad he bought that pear that cost ten taels of silver.
"Young Master Liu?" Pei San was surprised to see Liu Wenshu.
He and Ye Wan seem to be very familiar with each other.
A secluded woman and a stranger... something doesn't seem right.
"So it's Young Master Pei, is there something you need?" Liu Wenshu asked politely.
Young Master Pei spoke up, "It's just some private matters. But what about Lord Liu..."
"It's just some private matter."
"What are you still doing standing at the door? Come in and talk to me," Ye Wan called to Liu Wenshu.
Releasing Liu Wenshu helped her a lot, and she helped him in return later, so they could be considered to have a relationship.
Young Master Pei frowned, "Didn't you just say that it's inconvenient to entertain male guests at home? Isn't he a male guest?"
These two...
Ye Wan smiled and said, "It's convenient now. If Young Master Pei wants to come in, then come along with him."
Ah Fu, who was standing nearby, asked, "Young master, given this woman's attitude, should we still go in?"
"Go, why not go? Let's see what she's up to."
Pei San sensed something was wrong.
Afu didn't want to talk.
Ye Wan clearly doesn't welcome them, so why is the young master still so eager to go in?
Besides, Lin Anyuan even took the young master hostage and extorted money from him. Why doesn't the young master learn his lesson?
...
...
"Have some tea."
Ye Wan personally served tea to Liu Wenshu.
As for Pei San's cup, it was brewed by Hui Gu.
Pei San watched silently from the side, his mood suddenly becoming somewhat unpleasant.
"How have you been all these years, Young Master Liu, since we parted ways in Min County?" Ye Wan asked, looking at Liu Wenshu.
This child seems much more mature; perhaps it's the environment that makes people mature.
Liu Wenshu smiled, a faint glint in his eyes, "Madam Ye, given our relationship, you're being too polite by calling me that. My courtesy name is Xinzhi."
Ye Wan thought for a moment, "Reviewing the old to learn the new, new knowledge... um... is a good word."
"When I came up with this courtesy name, it was just a casual choice; I never expected it to have this interpretation."
Liu Wenshu suppressed the surging admiration in his eyes by drinking tea.
Over the years, he has come to understand his own thoughts and has been able to hide them well.
He didn't want to cause her any trouble.
Ye Wan chuckled, "Come on, try the watermelon I grew, see if it's sweet."
