Chapter 301 You Can Afford It
When Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu arrived home, they were surrounded by people from the village.
"Bei Xiu, you have made great progress."
"Bei Xiu, you really made us proud."
"Bei Xiu, you are great."
Ye Jidong finally squeezed in and said, "Hurry up and make room for our scholar."
Ye Beixiu didn't dare to be arrogant at this time, and quickly bowed to Ye Jidong respectfully, "Grandpa, the village head."
Ye Jidong's beard was almost crooked with laughter. "Good, good, you are really great. Hurry up, your grandfather has already set up the banquet in the yard, you and your wife should go and take a look."
"good!"
Everyone followed Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia like stars surrounding the moon and entered Ye Jishun's yard.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back."
Ye Jishun, who was talking to Manager Wan in the yard, heard the noise and hurriedly trotted a few steps.
Wang Guilan, who was talking to Manager Yao in the room, also ran out.
When Ye Beixiu saw Ye Jishun and Wang Guilan, he lifted his robe and knelt down, "Grandpa, Grandma, your grandson is back."
Wang Guilan's eyes were red as she reached out to help Ye Beixiu up. "Good boy, you're really great."
Ye Jishun could no longer hold back his tears, and in order to avoid being seen like this by others, he quickly turned his head to the side and secretly wiped away the tears.
Ye Beixiu stood between Ye Jishun and Wang Guilan, supporting them as they walked into the house.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I didn't mean to hide the fact that I was taking the martial arts imperial examination from you. I was just afraid that if you knew, you would worry about me every day."
"Grandpa, grandma, I understand you. Our Xiu'er has lost weight."
Ye Beixiu deliberately raised his arms, "Grandma, although I've lost weight, I have more energy."
"You kid."
Wang Guilan slowed down her pace and reached out to hold Zhang Juexia's hand, "Juexia has made the greatest contribution to our Xiu'er's success in becoming a martial arts scholar."
When Ye Beixiu heard his grandmother praising Zhang Juexia, his mouth stretched to the back of his head. "Grandma, it is indeed my wife who has made the greatest contribution. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be where I am today."
When Ye Jishun heard what Ye Beixiu said, he turned around and looked at Zhang Juexia.
The old man was very cute. Like a child, he saluted Zhang Juexia seriously and respectfully. This action scared Zhang Juexia so much that he stepped back repeatedly.
"Master, this is unacceptable. You are the elder, how can you bow to a junior like me?"
"I said it and you said it. Others may not know it, but your grandma and I know that without you, Bei Xiu would not be where he is today.
Today, you deserve this gift from me, an old man.
Bei Xiu, everyone is here today, but I’m telling you this: if you ever do anything to let Jue Xia down, I’ll be the first one to not forgive you.”
Ye Beixiu nodded solemnly.
Shopkeeper Wan took the opportunity to walk up to Ye Beixiu and said, "Congratulations, Brother Beixiu!"
Ye Beixiu quickly returned the greeting, "Thank you for troubling me today, Shopkeeper Wan."
"I dare not say that. I am deeply honored that Brother Bei Xiu has achieved what he has today!"
Shopkeeper Yao also came out of the house and congratulated Ye Beixiu.
Soon she changed the subject, "Juexia, you are so dishonest. I actually heard such a big thing from Manager Wan."
Zhang Juexia saw that Shopkeeper Yao was looking like he was going to accuse someone, so he laughed and said, "Isn't it okay if I join you for a few more drinks at the wedding banquet this afternoon?"
"That's what you said."
Wang Guilan asked everyone to go inside quickly, "Let's stop talking at the door. If you have anything to say, come inside and talk."
Shopkeeper Wan glanced into the kitchen and said, "I'm worried about what's happening outside. I'll go take a look first and then come back to talk to Brother Bei Xiu."
"Thank you for your help."
Manager Wan waved his hand, meaning no need to thank me.
Several people entered the room and sat down. Li Yiqin then made some tea and brought it in again.
Zhang Juexia quickly stood up and tried to take the tea from Li Yiqin. "Juexia, you and Beixiu have come all the way from the county, so don't compete with me for the job of pouring the tea."
Several people in the room laughed.
After pouring the water, Li Yiqin looked at Ye Beixiu and said seriously, "Beixiu, congratulations. You are the first scholar in our Ye family. We will all benefit from you in the future."
Ye Beixiu stood up and respectfully returned Li Yiqin's greeting, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Wang Guilan pulled Li Yiqin behind her and said, "Child, you're so jumpy. Don't scare Bei Xiu. Even if he becomes more successful, you're still his sister-in-law. With Manager Yao here, you're not afraid of her making fun of you."
Shopkeeper Yao waved his hands repeatedly, "Look at what you said, old lady. I like both of your grandsons and their wives."
Zhang Juexia looked around and asked, "Suyun is not back?"
"She, with such a big thing happening, how could she not come back and help me look after the children in the inner room!"
Ye Yunsheng and Zhao Baofeng were busy entertaining guests outside, and now they came in and talked to them for a few words.
Zhao Baofeng explained to Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia, "We need our own people outside. Your eldest brother is busy and I'm afraid he won't be able to get away for a while."
Ye Beixiu stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Wang Guilan, "You are the protagonist today, you can't go out to help.
How about this, let your grandfather take you and your uncle outside to welcome the guests."
All the men were out, and there were only a few women left in the room, so it was much easier to talk.
Ye Suyun also carried Xinxin out, "Xinxin, your aunt is the happiest today, don't forget to ask for her reward later!"
Xinxin cried out "ah ah ah" a few times, which made everyone laugh.
It was originally a joke from Ye Suyun, but Zhang Juexia took out a purse and put it on Xinxin as if by magic.
Li Yiqin refused, but Zhang Juexia insisted, "Sister-in-law, this is what my husband and I gave to Xinxin, so stop asking for it."
Zhang Juexia gave Ye Suyun another purse, "Sister-in-law, look, Suyun has one too!"
Ye Suyun took the purse with a smile, "My sister-in-law has become a scholar's wife, and she is different now."
"Your master is here. I think you want to be beaten."
"I can't control her. Someone will come from her mother-in-law's house soon."
The courtyard was now even more lively. Wang Guilan said to Zhang Juexia, "We're running out of time. If there was still time, your grandfather would have invited an opera singer."
"What a big deal! Mother even hired a troupe of actors."
Pang Xiujuan pushed the door open and walked in, making sarcastic remarks.
Wang Guilan frowned.
Shopkeeper Yao nudged Zhang Juexia and asked quietly, "Who is it?"
"My mother-in-law."
Although Shopkeeper Yao didn't hear the sound, he understood what Zhang Juexia meant by her lip movements. "It seems quite lively outside. Suyun gave the child to your sister-in-law. Let's go outside and take a look!"
