Chapter 621 News about you (9th update)
The carriage drove away, and the nanny also stood up, holding Xie Yulin.
Soon, two young maids pushed the crowd aside and ran over. They nervously and reproachfully snatched Xie Yulin from the nanny's arms.
"Madam Zhang, why are you walking so fast with the young master? There are so many people on the street, what if the young master gets squeezed?"
"That's right! If the young master hadn't insisted on your company, you wouldn't have been able to come out. How could you be so careless? If something happened, could you afford it?"
Aunt Zhang lowered her head and said, "It's all my fault."
Xie Yulin suddenly struggled in the maid's arms and shouted, "Why are you scolding Aunt Zhang! I ran away on my own just now. If you are really capable, go and tell my father about me!"
The maidservant naturally did not dare to get angry with him, and hurriedly put on a smile and patiently coaxed him, "Master, what are you talking about? We are worried about you too! You said that you finally came out, and the Marquis ordered us to take good care of you..."
Xie Yulin turned his head and snorted.
"Madam Zhang! I want Madam Zhang to hold me!"
The two maids looked at each other.
Although the Marquis does not allow his wife to go out, he still loves the young master. They are just servants of lowly status, how can they compare with the master?
The maid finally handed him back, but the look she gave towards Nanny Zhang became more and more dissatisfied.
"Madam Zhang, it's getting late. Shall we go?"
Nanny Zhang responded with lowered eyebrows, smoothed her messy hair, and followed the two of them while holding Xie Yulin.
…
Ye Chutang stretched out his hand, and a white jade earring lay quietly in his palm.
Xiaowu widened his eyes slightly.
Hey, when did sister get this thing in her hand?
Ye Chutang looked at the earrings. They were of smooth texture and exquisite carving. One could tell at a glance that they were of great value.
More importantly, she looked very familiar.
——That day when Xie Pei was seriously ill, she went to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and Xiao Jiayi was wearing this pair of jewels.
But why did the nanny go to so much trouble to give this thing to her?
Xiao Jiayi...something happened?
After thinking for a moment, she put away the white jade earrings.
Xiaowu didn't care too much.
"Second Miss, we're here."
The carriage stopped in front of the Tang Mansion. The gatekeeper was stunned when he saw a very beautiful woman getting off the carriage.
"This lady is..."
Ye Chutang smiled slightly and said, "Please tell them that Ye Chutang is here to visit Master Tang."
…
Tang Zhongli really didn't expect Ye Chutang to come, and he welcomed him in with a smile.
When he saw the two jugs of wine in her hands, the smile on his face deepened.
"What a rare guest! Why did Miss Ye Er think of me today?"
Ye Chutang smiled and handed the wine over, "I heard that you like this, so I brought it to you specially."
Tang Zhongli laughed, but was not polite.
"If someone else had given it to me, I would definitely not have accepted it, but what you gave me is different, so I must accept it!"
He took it and couldn't help but take a closer smell.
Even before it is opened, the clear and rich aroma of the wine is already extremely intoxicating.
Tang Zhongli's eyes lit up.
He accepted this because, firstly, Ye Chutang acted frankly, and secondly... he was really greedy.
Even if I can buy it next month, I will still have to wait for a long time!
"Your Yunlai Tavern is really amazing! The drinks are amazing!"
Everything is so unique that it’s hard to find one with a similar taste. It’s normal that the business is so good.
Ye Chutang pursed his lips and smiled, "If you like it, I'll have someone send some more over some other day."
"Hey - I can't drink as much as I used to, so just a little taste will do! Haha!"
Ye Chutang then turned to ask about Ye Jingyan's situation in the Imperial College.
Tang Zhongli liked this student very much and naturally praised him endlessly when he mentioned him.
"…With his talent and knowledge, if he takes part in the imperial examination in the future, he will definitely be the top scorer!"
Tang Zhongli stroked his beard and shook his head.
"It's just a pity that the Spring Examination will be held in March. He has never participated in the provincial examination before, so he will miss this opportunity."
Ye Chutang had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were calm and composed. He did not become arrogant because of Tang Zhongli's praise.
"You are too kind."
Tang Zhongli glanced at her and laughed.
"You, you! Whether your brother is truly talented and capable, I'm afraid no one knows better than you, his elder sister!"
He had long realized that Ye Jingyan's growth to what he is today was largely due to Ye Chutang's teaching.
Outsiders may not know, but he sees it very clearly.
"If he can participate in this examination, he will definitely win first place, and it may not be impossible for him to become the youngest champion! By the way, have you...never thought about letting him take the exam before?"
Tang Zhongli felt really sorry.
He had seen countless students in the Imperial College, and he could tell at a glance who was a genius and who was talented.
Ye Jingyan is truly one of the best, otherwise he wouldn't value his talent so much.
But - Ye Jinyan does not have the status of a juren, so as usual he cannot participate in this spring examination.
Ye Chutang knew what he was thinking. After a moment of silence, he spoke sincerely, "Before... the situation was complicated, and I had to delay him."
Tang Zhongli was stunned and couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, how could he not understand it?
The Ye family encountered a great change, and Ye Chutang and the others were in a difficult situation and were displaced. How could this be simply summed up with just one word "helpless"?
"It's not a delay. He's only fifteen years old now. There will be plenty of time and opportunities for him to display his talents and ambitions in the future." Tang Zhongli laughed. "When the time comes, I will go to your house to ask for wine!"
During the conversation, he was full of hope for Ye Jingyan.
Ye Chutang also laughed.
"If that day really comes, you will naturally be a guest of honor in the Ye family."
Tang Zhongli laughed out loud.
"I've been so busy these days, and today is the only time I can relax with your wine! Oh, by the way, since you're here, I have some news that may have something to do with you, you might want to listen to it."
Ye Chutang was startled, but a little curious, "What news?"
Tang Zhongli said,
"Qingzhou County Magistrate Zuo Ci has been reported for corruption and dereliction of duty. Your Majesty has ordered his dismissal and he will be executed soon."
