At the Ye Mansion, during the lunch break, Ye Congwen called a few students over, saying that he wanted to invite them to have tea and discuss policy papers.
These three are the candidates chosen by Ye Congwen for Ye Shu to be her son-in-law. He had already talked to them one by one in private before, and only after getting their approval did he arrange today's event.
The purpose is to let Ye Shu see it live and face to face.
Anyway, she has to choose one, and marrying into the family is urgent, and he will not give up the idea.
Several students knew that they were competitors, so they were trying their best to attract Ye Shu's attention today.
They have a poor background, their families are poor, and their academic qualifications are average. They need resources badly because the conditions mentioned by the dean are really tempting.
They all need a stepping stone. Even though Ye Shu is disabled, it doesn't matter. If she succeeds in the future, she will have the initiative in many things. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, right?
Those who can sit here all have clear ideas, and a few of them are secretly competing with each other.
Ye Shu has really been worn out by her father recently. No matter how she makes a fuss, her father won't give in. He even has someone watch her and won't let her leave the house, as if he has to force her to compromise.
She was a rebellious person and went on a hunger strike. In the past, Ye Congwen would have been extremely anxious, but now that he had Xiao Hechuan's advice, he was not fooled at all.
Because Ye Shu is an extremely selfish person, she is reluctant to die and is afraid of death, so she will not starve herself to death. Going on a hunger strike is just a test. Once you compromise, she will become more and more demanding and constantly test your bottom line.
Therefore, Ye Shu's hunger strike ended in failure.
She couldn't bear it after two days without food or water, but Ye Congwen was too calm, so she had to think of another way.
She had not originally planned to show up today, but Ruxing advised her to pretend to obey the master's ideas first. Otherwise, the more she resisted, the tighter the master might pressure her.
Ye Shu was really at her wits' end. As a disabled person, she could neither run away nor make a fuss. If her father had been a little more forceful, she would have had to go through with the marriage.
So, she came obediently to the meeting at noon. Ye Congwen was already prepared for her to make a fuss, and thought that at worst he would just keep nagging her. One day, she would get impatient and choose to meet him.
But he didn't expect that she would be so obedient for the first time, and he was a little uncomfortable with her being so obedient.
But even though Ye Shu came, her attitude was not much better. She kept a cold face, as if everyone owed her something.
Several students sat down in the garden, still a little nervous. In fact, apart from the fact that Ye Shu was disabled, her face was still pretty good. She was a cool beauty with a light complexion. If she was healthy, her marketability would not be bad, and there would be many people vying to marry into her family's family.
They met Ye Shu one by one and introduced themselves to her. They all looked delicate and fair, but Ye Shu had seen how handsome Xiao Hechuan was, so she didn't really care about people like them. They were not as good-looking as Luo Ming, whom she met in the garden that day, and their education was just average.
In contrast, Ye Shu felt even more unwilling in her heart. How could she be willing to spend her life with such an ordinary man?
Even though she was extremely reluctant, she chose to endure it in order to make Ye Congwen happy. She kept smiling a little and did not show her emotions completely. She spent this hour in agony. Watching them trying their best to please her and get her attention, she felt more and more that they were like the clowns on the stage, without any dignity or image.
So, Ye Shu is just a bitch. She likes to put her warm face in front of other people's cold butts.
After the end, Ye Congwen asked her which one she thought was better. Ye Shu said she didn't like any of them. Ye Congwen guessed it and he was not in a hurry. He still had choices. If he couldn't find a suitable one in Baiyun Academy, he could go to other academies. Although there was a competitive relationship with those academies, they would give them this face. After all, they were not trying to dig out their potential stocks.
After returning to the yard, Ye Shu felt more and more unwilling the more she thought about it. She was unwilling to live her whole life like this and spend her life in mediocrity. Even if she had to force herself, she had to give herself an explanation so that her life would not be in vain.
Seeing the calculation revealed in Ye Shu's eyes, Ruxing and Ruyue looked at each other and already had their thoughts in mind.
At this moment, no one knows whether they are loyal to Ye Shu or not.
…
Since that night, Jiang Sui and Xiao Hechuan broke the last bond and have become a true couple. Their love is getting sweeter day by day, and when they are alone, they wish they could stay together all the time.
Everyone in the Xiao family knew it tacitly. Anyone with eyes could see that the young couple was sweeter than honey. Especially Xiao Lanlan. Every day when she saw the affectionate looks between her fourth brother and his wife's brows, she couldn't help but sigh.
Who made her like to tease Jiang Sui every time she blushed and held her cheek in her hand while missing someone?
Jiang Sui disagreed. She had the soul of a modern person at heart and would not feel ashamed.
Xiao Hechuan also enjoyed the taste of it, but he also always remembered that his wife was still young and it was better for them to be restrained in matters between men and women. However, he was at the age of full of vigor and sometimes he couldn't hold back even if he wanted to.
After a short while, Xia Wanning's letter arrived from Kyoto again. This time, it came with a stack of silver notes with a total value of one thousand taels.
This meant that the script of the play "Havoc in Heaven" written by Jiang Sui was accepted by her, and that was her reward.
When Xia Wanning received the thick letter from Jeju, she knew that Jiang Sui did not let her down, and she couldn't wait to open the envelope and start reading.
As a result, she became more and more excited the more she read it, and she read it over and over again, staying up for several nights to thoroughly study her script, and then she began to arrange people to start rehearsing.
Because the play of Havoc in Heaven requires a lot of fighting scenes, in order to achieve the desired effect and present this exciting story perfectly, she directly asked Helian Jing to borrow a group of extraordinary guards to help her rehearse.
Her plays are different from others. They are not traditional operas, but closer to reality. The modeling does not need to be as sophisticated as in operas. She completely uses her imagination to create the modeling, just like the female emperor consort last time.
Anyway, her theater is extremely popular in Kyoto and has even spread to the Imperial Palace.
But she also felt that what she gave Jiang Sui was too little. However, Jiang Sui had said in advance that no matter how popular the play was, she only wanted the one thousand and two taels of silver.
After all, she was just taking advantage of the situation and it was not her original creation. If she took advantage of the opportunity to make too much money, she would feel guilty.
