Chapter 083 What a coincidence
That night.
After Xie Jian prepared water for Shen Heng to soak her feet, he went to read. When he got tired of reading, he looked up and saw her writing something on the door panel with charcoal.
For the charcoal, she even made a hollow jar and stuffed the charcoal inside so as not to dirty her hands. She wrote very quickly and in a very sloppy manner, but after looking at it for a long time, she actually thought it was beautiful.
After Shen Heng finished writing her thoughts, she recited them silently again. When she took a step back to appreciate them, she realized that Xie Jian had stood behind her without her noticing.
"Do you understand?"
"Although I wrote nine out of ten words wrong, I still know their meaning." Xie Jian said calmly. After looking at her every day, he had a good memory. Her wrong words formed a whole group of their own. After recognizing them all, he found them quite interesting.
Ever since Xie Jian said she didn't know many words last time, Chen Heng had been planning to learn some traditional Chinese characters and practice calligraphy when she had free time. Although it wouldn't be very useful, it's always good to have more skills.
Live old and learn old.
"Chen Yuan is from the Shen family." Xie Jian said, "I asked Uncle Qing how many days the master of that family comes to stay every month. Now that Chen Yuan's imperial examination is imminent, Master Shen is expected to come at the end of the month."
With Xie Jian's intelligence, Shen Heng knew he could guess it: "I'll just pretend I don't know." After all, she had severed her ties with the Shen family, so what did the Shen family's people have to do with her?
Since he pretended not to know, Xie Jian said nothing more, and his eyes fell on the few experiences written on the wooden board: "You have no talent for business."
"How do you know if I have talent?"
"With your personality, even if you succeed in doing business, you won't be able to make it big." Xie Jian said and sat back to continue reading.
"What's wrong with my temper?" Shen Heng was dissatisfied and walked beside him.
"I see it all but don't say it out loud. Okay, stop bothering me." Xie Jian opened the book.
Being looked down upon, Chen Heng said, "Just wait and see. One day, I will become the richest female businessman in the world."
Xie Jian looked up at her, smiled, shook his head and read.
The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was already the end of March.
With the arrival of the scientific examination, Yuzhou became more and more lively, as if there were many more people all of a sudden.
No matter if it was a teahouse, a restaurant, or an inn, every time Shen Heng went there, she would see that they were crowded with people, and everyone was discussing the scientific expedition.
From time to time, I can also hear parents giving instructions to their children.
From ancient times to the present, nothing has changed in this area.
"Heng'er?" Just as Shen Heng passed by a pastry shop, she was stopped by someone coming out of the shop.
"Big sister?" Shen Heng looked at Shen Xian, who was carrying a bag of cakes out, but to her surprise, the person next to Shen Xian was Shen Yuan's mother.
Chen Yuan's mother didn't expect to see Mrs. Chen here, and she even called her "Sister Chen Xian". What's not to understand?
The two people's expressions were different, which was quite interesting.
"Mrs. Shen." Shen Heng stepped forward to greet her, smiling and saying, "Big sister, do you know Mrs. Shen?"
"Mrs. Shen? Oh," Shen Xian smiled rather awkwardly. She was just regretting calling her Second Sister, but when she saw her, she subconsciously called out, "You recognize her too?"
"Yes, Ajian and I live next door to Madam Shen's house, and Master Shen Yuan often comes over to study calligraphy with Ajian and Young Master Meng." Hehehe, admiring the wonderful expressions of the two, Shen Heng felt that she was quite bad.
"Really?" Shen Xian didn't know what to say for a moment.
