Chapter 173 I Don’t Plan to Participate in the Scientific Exam
The system quickly gave an answer: [No.]
Chu Yian felt extremely regretful.
I started thinking about how to make those men work harder.
But in the blink of an eye, her dim eyes brightened, and a bunch of messy thoughts popped up from every corner of her mind, each one more sour than the last.
But those people have to be dealt with later, we have to resolve the issues with these women first.
The system urged her to complete the task as soon as possible, and would even issue partial rewards when she was halfway done. Doesn't this mean that the system knew that Qin Sheng was about to go on an expedition?
Time waits for no one.
Seeing Xiaofu had paid the bill and Huang Sanya was about to leave, Chu Yian quickly stopped her: "Please wait a moment."
Huang Sanya was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and stood up straight: "Miss, is there anything else you need?"
The big customer bought all her things in one go. Huang Sanya was very grateful to Chu Yian, and her fear of strangers was reduced a lot.
Chu Yian smiled and asked, "Can you make clothes?"
Didn't she have a ready-made job that could help them?
These women are so good at embroidery, making clothes is definitely no problem for them, at least simple clothes should be no problem.
Qin Sheng's clothes don't need to be embroidered with exquisite craftsmanship. It just needs to be well-made, comfortable and warm to wear.
If they could make it more beautifully, she could ask them to make the clothes for Mrs. Tao, and she also asked them to help make all her clothes in the future.
Huang Sanya nodded hurriedly upon hearing this, but her eyes became moist as she nodded, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Miss, I, I can do it. I can also embroider various patterns on clothes. I can embroider any pattern you like."
Huang Sanya didn't know why she wanted to cry. It was obviously a good thing that this young lady wanted her to make clothes.
But she just wanted to cry.
She knew that even if she went back now, Wu Laosi would not be able to pawn her out for the next few days.
Chu Yian looked at her gently, and said in a gentle tone: "I have a lot of clothes I want to make, and time is very tight. I'm afraid you can't handle it all by yourself."
"You said these handkerchiefs were embroidered by you and your sisters. Could you please ask them to come to Shengjing and help me?"
"Don't worry, all the expenses for this trip to Beijing will be on my shoulders. After you finish making the clothes, I will give you an extra reward. What do you think?"
Huang Sanya didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment. Her legs went weak and she knelt down in front of Chu Yian.
Chu Yian was startled and quickly helped the man up: "What are you doing? Get up quickly."
Huang Sanya stubbornly pried open Chu Yian's hands and kowtowed three times. This scene attracted the attention of many passers-by, and they all looked over here.
She wiped her eyes and said, "Miss, yes, yes, I have many sisters who can make clothes, and they make very beautiful clothes. Thank you for helping me, and thank you for helping them."
Feeling many eyes on him, Chu Yian really had the urge to run away. It was too scary.
She is socially anxious, can you let her go?
Don't stare at her.
And she didn't do anything bad...
Chu Yian gritted his teeth and winked at Xiaofu. The two of them helped Huang Sanya up from the left and right. "You, please don't kneel. Please."
Huang Sanya wiped the corners of her eyes, which were becoming increasingly moist. "Miss, I'm going back to the village now to call someone over. I wonder where you live? We'll look for you when we get here."
This silly girl wasn't afraid of being cheated and just believed her?
Chu Yian sighed, not wanting to be watched anymore. He pointed ahead and said, "Let's talk while we walk."
Huang Sanya nodded hurriedly.
Chu Yian had just started walking when a young boy's voice suddenly stopped her from walking: "Miss, please stay."
Chu Yian:?
Chu Yian turned around and saw a familiar face. He stared at it for a few seconds but couldn't remember who it was.
Seeing her eyes, the visitor knew that Chu Yian probably didn't think of her, so he lowered his head and said, "I am Ye Yihan, the copyist for the young lady in Qingshan Bookstore."
Chu Yian suddenly realized, ah, that was the girl who disguised herself as a man and wanted to take the imperial examination.
Come to think of it, Ye Yihan has gained some weight on his face and looks a lot healthier than before.
Chu Yian's mood suddenly became complicated: "You are looking for me, is there something?"
Ye Yihan nodded: "This is not the place to talk, could you please spare me a step to the side of the road to talk?"
Chu Yian nodded and looked at Huang Sanya: "Wait for me for a moment."
Huang Sanya nodded quickly: "Miss, you are busy."
Chu Yian followed Ye Yihan to the side of the street. No one was staring at them now, which made her feel a lot more at ease. Otherwise, she always had the illusion that these people thought she was bullying them.
When they reached the roadside, Ye Yihan bowed to Chu Yian and said, "I'm sorry, Miss. I've been looking for you for a few days, but I don't know where you live. I couldn't find you at the bookstore either. I happened to meet you today, so I called you."
Chu Yian scratched his head awkwardly and laughed awkwardly: "Ha, it's okay, just leave the copied books in the bookstore. Have you finished copying the previous ones?"
Ye Yihan nodded: "I have finished copying, but I may not be able to copy books for you for the time being. I am very sorry."
Chu Yian was stunned. Ye Yihan was very hardworking and there was no way he would give up this opportunity to make money.
She stared into Ye Yihan's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Why can't I copy it?"
Ye Yihan said, "I need to go home for a while. My mother is ill. I am going back to take care of her. I came to tell the young lady."
Chu Yian frowned instantly, and she thought of Ye Yihan's mother.
Ye's mother didn't want Ye Yihan to continue studying for the imperial examinations, and she was afraid that he would never be able to come back this time.
Ye's mother has many worries in her heart, and Ye Yihan is also pursuing his dreams. The two of them each have their own difficulties...
Chu Yian felt even more complicated. It was rare to see a woman like Ye Yihan in the feudal society, but this star was about to fall before it had a chance to shine. How could he not feel sad?
After thinking for a while, Chu Yian asked, "Do you really want to go back?"
Ye Yihan nodded solemnly: "As a son, I should be filial."
Chu Yian sighed. This was his fate. How could he force her to stay? He couldn't force her to stay either.
She didn't stop him, but reached out and took out a silver ingot and handed it to her: "Well, go ahead...When you come back, continue copying books for me."
Ye Yihan did not take the silver ingot. After thinking for a while, she told him her plan.
"I will always remember your help, but I absolutely cannot accept this money again."
"Besides, I probably won't be returning to Shengjing in the next three to five years, so I won't be able to continue copying books for you, young lady."
Chu Yian was stunned. Could it be that she... knew what she would face when she returned? Had she already made plans?
Ye Yihan smiled shyly and said, "Miss, I plan to leave Beijing and travel. A lot of what I have learned is only on paper and too superficial. I want to travel and broaden my horizons."
Chu Yian didn't know what to say. Ye Yihan was just that kind of person. He always had his own plans for everything he did.
But had she ever thought about what would happen when she went back this time?
Chu Yian was not in a position to say much, so he could only say, "It's good that you have a plan, but you need money while you're away. You can continue to copy books for me and take them away. When you return to Beijing in the future, you can bring the copied books to me."
"I'll have someone send some books to Qingshan Bookstore tomorrow. If you're not in a hurry, you can take the books and leave later."
Ye Yihan was a little surprised and confused: "Miss, why are you helping me like this?"
Chu Yian smiled and said, "It just seems like we have a good eye for each other."
Ye Yihan looked at Chu Yian, and Chu Yian also looked at her. In a trance, she felt that Chu Yian seemed to have known that she was not a man.
Ye Yihan hurriedly lowered his head, not knowing what to do.
After hesitating for a long time, he bowed to Chu Yian and said, "Miss, to be honest, I don't plan to take the imperial examination. I want to take the path of the imperial examination."
"If the young lady has high hopes for me and hopes that I can become the top scorer in the imperial examination, I am afraid I will disappoint her."
