Chapter 600: Watching Three Plays
Ye Beixiu was busy for four or five days in a row and finally finished drinking.
When the two of them had some free time, they took some gifts to the Shen residence.
On the day Ye Beixiu passed the imperial examination, the Shen family sent someone to deliver a gift, so today the two of them had to go to the Shen residence to express their gratitude in a formal manner.
Madam Shen sent a message asking them to see Shen Yue first and then see her.
As they entered the main gate of the Shen Mansion, the housekeeper said with a smile on his face, "Master Ye, Madam Ye, the master is waiting for you in the study!"
After entering the study and exchanging greetings, Chen Yue went straight to the point, "Bei Xiu, now that you've passed the imperial examination, what are your plans?"
After Ye Beixiu glanced at Zhang Juexia, he repeated what he had said to Zhang Juexia that day.
Shen Yue tapped her fingers on the desk, and the room instantly became quiet.
Seeing that Chen Yue was silent, Zhang Juexia began to panic.
Soon, Shen Yue stood up and walked towards them with square steps, “In theory, military candidates can become officials, but the corresponding position is in the military camp.
However, for a military candidate, entering the military camp is far less likely than for someone with military merit.
Since your original purpose of taking the examination was to make a living in the county, that is enough.
However, a real man should serve the court. Bei Xiu, are you really willing to be a rich man in the county town?"
Ye Beixiu thought for a moment and said, "Master, if the court needs me, I will serve the court without hesitation.
only? "
Shen Yue patted Ye Beixiu’s shoulder and said, “I understand what you mean.
My mother is very concerned about your affairs, and I have to find out the truth, otherwise I won’t be able to explain to her.
Well, I have nothing to do here, my mother is still waiting for you in the backyard!"
Old Madam Shen was already in the courtyard welcoming Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia. Seeing them from afar, she smiled and said, "Look, our scholar is here.
This person is in high spirits because of the happy event. From a distance, he looks more energetic than usual.
And our juren's wife, I think she's even prettier than before."
Zhang Juexia naturally acted coquettishly towards Old Madam Shen for a while before getting down to business.
"Are you going back to Shunhe County?"
Zhang Juexia didn't want to hide it from Madam Shen, "I have this plan. After all, the results have been announced, and the two shops are on track.
Yingyue is getting married next month, and we have to rush back before she does."
Old Madam Shen looked at Zhang Juexia pitifully and said, "You must come more often!"
"I know, maybe in a few years, we can move to Qingfeng City!
When the time comes, I will bother you every day, please don't be annoyed!"
"I'm looking forward to it! By the way, I've found the midwife you asked me to find for you. You can bring her with you when you go back.
This midwife knows a little bit about medicine, so if you take her home and keep her by your side, everyone will feel at ease."
Without waiting for Zhang Juexia to thank him, Ye Beixiu stood up and bowed solemnly to Madam Shen, "Thank you, Madam!
You are so thoughtful, Bei Xiu really doesn't know how to thank you!"
Madam Shen looked at Ye Beixiu seriously, "I did this for Jue Xia. I'm telling you, I'm here to protect her. Don't bully her in the future."
"Bei Xiu knows."
Seeing that Ye Beixiu's attitude was acceptable and that he had just passed the military examination, Old Lady Shen stopped trying to embarrass him. "Beixiu, how about letting your wife stay here with me for a while while you go back first?"
"Then I'll take my leave."
Ye Beixiu left very happily.
Zhang Juexia was a little uncomfortable. Why didn't someone mutter to himself today? It was really weird.
When Old Lady Shen saw Ye Beixiu leave, she stopped being so polite and asked, "Girl, do you remember what I told you?"
Zhang Juexia had been so busy these past two days with Ye Beixiu's affairs that she was completely exhausted. "Madam, what's going on?"
“You girl, it’s about being a matchmaker for Shen Liang. Xiu’er and her grandfather are in Qingfeng City now. Why don’t we do this.”
“Okay, I’ll send someone to call Shen Liang.”
Madam Shen stopped Zhang Juexia and said, "Wait for a moment, little girl. It seems a bit old-fashioned to meet in the mansion. Why don't we go to the theater?"
Zhang Juexia didn't want to spoil Old Madam Shen's fun, so he nodded and agreed, "Then let's go to the theater now."
"Okay, I'll have Lihua notify Lao Zhang later, and you can have someone notify Chen Liang. We'll meet at the theater."
Zhang Juexia and Old Madam Shen got off the carriage at the theater gate, and Old Zhang and Xiu'er went to greet them.
After greeting each other, Old Lady Shen pointed at Xiu'er and said to Zhang Juexia, "Girl, I didn't lie to you, didn't I? Isn't Xiu'er pretty?"
Zhang Juexia nodded, "Old Madam is right, he is indeed very handsome."
Xiu'er lowered her head shyly, and Zhang Juexia took the opportunity to look at her carefully. It was just as Mrs. Shen said, she was not only beautiful, but also very quiet.
Shen Liang also hurried over, and after another round of greetings, Mrs. Shen pointed to the two tables in front and said, "Lao Zhang, let's sit down. The show will start soon."
You take Shen Liang and sit over there, and I'll take your precious granddaughter and Jue Xia and sit over here."
Zhang Juexia had no intention of watching the show. She looked at Chen Liang for a while, then at Xiu'er. While others watched one show, she seemed to have watched three.
Coming out of the theater, Lao Zhang was very warm to Shen Liang. Zhang Juexia guessed that Lao Zhang must have taken a liking to Shen Liang.
However, Chen Liang and Xiu'er still looked like they were not familiar with each other at all, just like when they first entered the theater.
Seeing Zhang Juexia still sizing up the two of them, Old Lady Shen pulled her aside and said, "Girl, let's stop here today!
They had just met for the first time, so how could they have anything to say? Even if they did have something to say, they wouldn't dare say it in front of so many people.
I tell you, you don't have as much experience as I do, but don't worry, it won't be long before they both get to know each other."
Zhang Juexia looked at Old Madam Shen with eyes of great admiration, which meant that old ginger is still spicy.
In fact, Zhang Juexia thought that it was not her fault. In her opinion, since the two of them had such an opportunity to meet, they should take advantage of it to have a good chat.
Even if you can't find out the eight generations of ancestors, you have to find out the three generations of ancestors. Otherwise, such a good opportunity would be wasted.
Zhang Juexia watched Old Madam Shen leave. Old Zhang and Xiu'er also took the opportunity to leave. Only she and Shen Liang were left at the theater entrance.
Zhang Juexia quickly asked, "Chen Liang, how is Xiu'er?"
Shen Liang scratched his head and said, “Madam, I was so busy watching the show that I didn’t dare to look at her.”
Zhang Juexia was speechless. "I should have known not to let you come to the show. What a waste of a ticket. Look at you, such a good opportunity, why don't you know how to cherish it!
What a great position the old lady arranged for you! It’s convenient for you to look in all directions.”
