Jiang Xueying went to Chen's house to find Chen Simin early in the morning to bring her the good news. The two of them left in a hurry yesterday and missed the real good show. Now they can only listen to the various versions circulating in the market.
Chen Simin heard about this from the servants in the mansion early in the morning and felt very happy.
"This is called evil will be punished. Who told them to be so bad? They deserve it!"
Jiang Xueying and Chen Simin laughed and joked for a while before Jiang Xueying hesitantly asked Chen Simin.
"Okay, don't be too happy yet. Now that the marriage with the Jiang family has been settled, what are you and that scholar going to do next?"
Chen Simin was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head in disappointment, pinching her fingers.
"I...I don't know what to do either."
Seeing Chen Simin's hesitation, Jiang Xueying was helpless, so she encouraged Chen Simin to be honest with Mr. Chen. After all, Chen Simin had no mother, and Mr. Chen could not help but have some concerns about these matters.
"Si Min, you are now of marriageable age and can consider important matters in life. Now that you have met someone you like, you should make a decision immediately."
Chen Simin followed Jiang Xueying's advice and went to talk to her father.
"Dad, what do you think?"
Chen Simin was prepared to be rejected by Mr. Chen, but unexpectedly, Mr. Chen did not object and just said he would think about it again.
Chen Simin happily told Jiang Xueying, and they were both very happy.
…
Just after returning home to rest for a few days, the village chief came to tell Jiang Xueying a good news.
"Wife of the Ye family, the school in our village has finally been built, and it's all thanks to you."
The village chief's face was filled with an excited smile. After so much time, the school was finally repaired. The adults and children in the village were very happy and very grateful for Jiang Xueying's suggestions and contributions. He asked her to thank Jiang Xueying on behalf of the whole village, young and old.
Jiang Xueying was also very happy. After all, this was the first school in the village, and the children would have a place to study in the future.
"Village head, you don't need to thank me. This is everyone's credit. If it weren't for everyone working together to build the school, it would be impossible for me to complete it alone."
The wrinkles on the village chief's face were wrinkled together with his smile, and it was obvious that he was really happy.
"You are truly a kind-hearted woman of the Ye family, but..."
The village chief pursed his lips in embarrassment and stroked his gray beard subconsciously.
Jiang Xueying was puzzled. The school had already been built, so what other problems were there?
"What's wrong? Any other questions?"
"Ah, it's nothing serious. Now the school has been built, but it still lacks a teacher to teach. The villagers in our village don't have much education. We thought about it and thought that you, the daughter-in-law of the Ye family, are knowledgeable and smart, so we want you to be the teacher of the school and teach the children."
Jiang Xueying had forgotten this point. Although there was a school now, the lack of someone to teach was indeed a problem. As the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise. She didn't know much about the culture here, and it would take some time to learn. Besides, she was busy with business matters and had no time for the time being.
Thinking of the various restrictive factors, Jiang Xueying could only temporarily decline the village chief's proposal.
The village chief felt disappointed when he heard Jiang Xueying reject him, but he also respected her idea. After all, Jiang Xueying had done enough for the village, and they couldn't make endless demands on her, otherwise it would be ungrateful.
"Village head, although I cannot be the teacher of the school, please rest assured that I will find a way to find a teacher, so you don't have to worry about it."
After hearing this, the village chief agreed immediately and was even more grateful.
After seeing off the village chief, Jiang Xueying went to the Chen family and found Chen Simin and told her about this matter. After all, the Chen family had been in business for many years and had much more experience and connections than her. Asking Chen Simin for advice would save her the trouble of taking a detour.
"Si Min, this is what's going on. Can you help me find a teacher?"
Chen Simin frowned slightly when he heard this, and the first face of the scholar Suining Xin appeared in his mind.
"Sister Jiang, what do you think of Suining Xin? Although he has failed to achieve any honors in the imperial examinations for many years, he is well-known for his talent in the town. Many families have invited him to be their teacher. I believe he can do it!"
Jiang Xueying's eyes lit up with joy, and she thought the same thing. After all, when she went to test Suining Xin, the way he taught Ye Xiaojin was eye-opening, and he was the right candidate in her mind. In fact, she came here this time just to ask Chen Simin to help her invite Suining Xin to teach in the village. Unexpectedly, Chen Simin brought it up first, so she didn't have to propose it again.
"That's what I thought."
The two hit it off immediately and got on the Chen family's carriage to Suining Xin's home.
Suining Xin was sitting at home writing. He was speechless when he saw Chen Simin and Jiang Xueying coming to see him. Especially when he saw Chen Simin, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"Minmin, why are you here?"
Seeing Suining Xin blushing with shyness, Chen Simin changed his usual carefree look, his eyes wandered and he spoke in a soft voice.
"Ning Xin, I mentioned our relationship to my father a few days ago, and he didn't object."
Suining Xin was suddenly delighted and took a step closer to Chen Simin, his eyes sparkling.
“Really…really?”
Chen Simin nodded heavily and smiled shyly, as if this would make Suining Xin believe her more.
"That's great, Minmin, I...I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Chen Simin's face instantly turned red when she heard this, and she reminded him in a low voice.
"Sister Jiang is still here..."
Jiang Xueying watched the sweet interaction between the two, feeling both happy and relieved. She looked at Chen Simin with a playful smile on her face, which attracted Chen Simin's shy look and made her blush even more.
"Ning Xin, actually we came here for another matter."
Suining Xin then calmed down, nodded politely to Jiang Xueying, and gestured to Chen Simin to continue with his gentle eyes.
"Sister Jiang, their village has built a new school, but they are still in need of a teacher. They want to hire you as the teacher. What do you think?"
"this……"
Suining Xin subconsciously glanced at Chen Simin beside him, and seeing that Chen Simin was also looking at him expectantly, he unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, and he already had the answer in his heart.
"Miss Jiang, you are too polite. Thank you for thinking of me in this matter. I feel very honored to be the teacher of the village school. Moreover, the school is not far from the town, so it will be more convenient for me to see Minmin in the future."
Chen Simin nodded in agreement. She blushed unconsciously when she heard the last sentence. She was also touched in her heart, knowing that he was doing it for her sake.
