Chapter 113 Let’s take advantage of the situation
People who really want to commit suicide cannot be stopped.
Watching his second sister leave, Shen Yuan stood there for a long time, until the weather got hotter and more and more people came to the tree to cool off and get water. Their curious eyes fell on him, and then he turned and left.
At this moment, Shen Heng, who had been hiding in the corner, finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she turned around, she saw the person standing behind her and was stunned: "Ajian? Why are you here?"
Xie Jian stood one step away from her with his slender figure, his eyes withdrawing from Chen Yuan who was not far away: "You have been out all morning, so I came to look for you. Is Chen Yuan trying to commit suicide?" He had been standing behind her for a cup of tea.
"How did you guess that?"
"What else is he doing here? Chatting with old ladies and old men in the shade? Besides, he didn't pass the imperial examination this time."
Chen Heng nodded: "Seeing him like this, I tried to persuade him. If that didn't work and he really wanted to do something, I would have called for help."
Not to mention that Chen Yuan is the third brother, even if he is an outsider, Xie Jianzhi will not sit idly by with Ah Heng's personality: "Go back."
"Ajian, how many students from Nanming College passed the imperial examination this time?"
"Ten people."
Chen Heng was surprised by the admission rate. Ten out of fifteen students passed. No wonder this academy was so popular. Seeing Xie Jian frowning slightly, she asked, "Why are you frowning? You're not happy after passing the imperial examination?"
"I ranked sixth among the successful candidates in the academy."
"Sixth place is very high." Chen Heng thought Xie Jian was sad because of the ranking. "As long as you pass the exam, last place doesn't matter." Don't be so arrogant.
"I originally wanted to be ranked eighth." Xie Jian didn't want to draw too much attention to himself. Firstly, his family's work would easily be criticized, and secondly, it was Wang Nei Shi's intention. Therefore, whether it was the opening question or the policy question, he answered it properly, but he still came in sixth. "What's so good about my writing?"
Chen Heng: “…” Chatting with some people is really boring.
That night, the moon was extremely bright.
Xie Jian was pulled into the yard by Meng Xuanlang and Wu Jin, saying they had something to discuss, while Chen Heng was chatting with Qing Bo about the shop.
"You and Mr. Xie went to the imperial capital. Nanming's small grocery store really can't operate for long with only those few employees." Qing Boqi.
"I know that the shop owners of each shop have their own people who run businesses like me." Chen Heng originally thought that she was just clever enough to come up with this way to make a little money, but after more than half a year of in-depth research, she discovered that the relatives of several shop owners were also running small businesses like hers. "So I want to sell this shop."
"How much can you make from this shop?" Qing Bo smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid no one will want it."
"It's not much, but after working for half a year, I've accumulated some connections. Even if a fly is small, it's still meat. Maybe someone will take a fancy to it and sell it to me."
"Okay. I'll ask for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Qing." Shen Heng bowed.
At this moment, Mei Er, who was standing beside Chen Heng, suddenly knelt down in front of her and said, "Madam Chen, you and your benefactor will be returning to Nanming tomorrow. Please take me with you. I will serve you and your benefactor for the rest of my life."
He kept kneeling down and didn't even say hello. Shen Heng was startled: "Mei'er, you are a maid of the Meng family, how can I take you away?" As she said this, she looked at Qing Bo with displeasure.
Qing Bo smiled and said, "Mei'er signed a working contract with my family. She lost her parents in the snowstorm and had nowhere else to turn. She came here to work for a few months, and she's only been signed for a few months. Counting the days, it just ended today."
"Madam Shen, I can do anything." Mei'er knelt before Shen Heng and said sincerely, "Madam Shen is kind and has never treated me as a servant. I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life."
