Chapter 163 Arranging a Way Out for Jun Er
Song Jingning sat down and saw his father taking his mother away with a serious expression.
He recalled his father's previous abnormal behavior and frowned slightly.
Is there anything wrong with Miss Ye’s birthday?
The girl who was seeing Song Jingning saw that he was absent-minded and poured him a cup of tea.
"Mr. Song, this tea was brewed by me, please taste it."
She tries hard to show her best side, and her every move is pleasing to the eye and naturally noble.
Song Jingning had no time to appreciate it, as his mind drifted to the private room opposite.
The door of the private room was closed.
When Cui Xiangyun saw Song Mingyu's serious face, she had a feeling that something big had happened and felt a little panicked.
"Master, what is the important matter you want to talk about?"
"I know Jingning's background."
Cui Xiangyun paused as she tried to pick up the cup, her voice tense and trembling.
"What?"
"Jingning and Miss Ye were born on the same day of the same month of the same year. He is very likely the eldest son of the Ye Tang family who died young!"
He was a baby found by the river.
There has been a custom since ancient times that those who died young cannot be buried in high places as it will damage the family fortune. Instead, they must be put in a wooden basin and placed in the river to float downstream, which is meant to send away bad luck.
It was such a coincidence that he couldn't help but think about it.
Cui Xiangyun didn't want to believe it, nor did she want to accept it.
"It's just a coincidence."
Song Mingyu knew that it would be difficult for his wife to accept the fact.
Jingning is the child she has invested all her love in, raised with care, and is the child she is proud of.
But running away cannot solve the problem.
Ye Chutang already suspected that the truth would be revealed sooner or later.
"Xiangyun, if you see Miss Ye, you will know that this is definitely not a coincidence."
The same eyebrows, the same birthday, one throws and the other picks up, and that river is still the only natural river passing through the capital.
Song Jingning is Ye Chutang's twin brother!
Cui Xiangyun met Song Mingyu's determined gaze and her eyes turned red.
"Master, how did you know this? Does anyone else know this?"
She was reluctant to send away the child she had raised from infancy.
"At present, I am the only one who knows about it, but Miss Ye has long suspected it and has even tested Jing Ning. We can't keep it secret for too long."
"What do you want to do, Master? Send Jingning back to the Shangshu Mansion and give him back to that scumbag Ye Jingchuan?"
Cui Xiangyun knew that the people should not fight against officials. If she had not been extremely angry, she would not have scolded the second-rank official in the capital.
Song Mingyu poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it to his wife.
"Don't get excited. I didn't say I would return Jing Ning to Ye Jingchuan. I just felt that Miss Ye was quite pitiful and I shouldn't have kept it from her."
"How did that scumbag Ye Jingchuan give birth to two such outstanding children?"
"They naturally followed Ye Tangshi."
Cui Xiangyun thought of Tang Wanning, who had a kind heart, and took a step back.
"After Miss Ye gets married, we will ask her for the truth. If Jingning is really the eldest son of the Ye family, we will tell him the truth and let him make his own choice."
"Okay, it's settled."
***
Ye Chutang taught calligraphy for an hour at Huating Academy.
The students Song Zhiyan found were all people who were interested in calligraphy and had certain talents, and their progress was obvious.
"If you follow the key points I teach you and practice diligently, you will definitely achieve success in calligraphy."
After saying that, she left the school and went to the main hall.
Jun'er's entrance examination has already ended.
While waiting for Ye Chutang in the main hall, he was reading the books he was going to study in the future.
When he saw Ye Chutang, he immediately put down the book and trotted over.
"Eldest sister, I have passed the entrance examination and can come to school anytime."
"That's great. I'll make you something delicious tonight."
Jun'er likes the dishes cooked by Ye Chutang and nodded, "Okay, I'll help my elder sister."
"Jun'er, wait a moment. I want to talk to Dean Song about something."
Zigui took Ye Chutang to Song Zhiyan's study.
Song Zhiyan stood up and poured Ye Chutang a cup of tea. "Miss Ye, those students shouldn't be difficult to lead, right?"
"The people selected by Dean Song are all excellent. If they focus on calligraphy, they will definitely achieve something."
"The calligraphy that can really go down in history is always combined with good poetry. If one or two of them can do that, they are very lucky."
After Song Zhiyan finished speaking, he asked, "Miss Ye came to see Song, is there something going on?"
"I want to talk to Dean Song alone."
"All of you go down, and don't let anyone come to the study."
"Yes, Dean."
Zigui was the last one to leave, and he considerately closed the door.
"Miss Ye, please speak."
Ye Chutang said: "I want Jun'er to come to school and live in the boarding school after my wedding."
Although Song Zhiyan felt strange, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Yes, but I remember Miss Ye said that your brother's health is not very good."
"Yes, so I want to place my younger brother in Dean Song's courtyard and have the maids take care of him."
"Miss Ye, this is against the rules of the academy."
Ye Chutang picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Then please ask Dean Song to break the rules, because I have a reason you can't refuse!"
Song Zhiyan asked curiously: "What's the reason?"
"I can help Dean Song complete the incomplete arithmetic in the arithmetic academy."
Ye Chutang returned to the main hall from Danqing Academy and passed by the Academy of Mathematics.
She saw a large multiplication table hanging on the wall, as well as area and volume formulas for various shapes.
The ancestor of the Song family who traveled through time may have a weakness in mathematics, and most of the formulas are blank.
Song Zhiyan stared at Ye Chutang, his deep eyes were like a cold spring, and his emotions were difficult to discern.
"really?"
"I never lie to good people, so, Dean Song, are you willing to break the rules?"
Song Zhiyan chuckled, "Song has already broken the rules once for Miss Ye."
The implication is, what’s the harm if it gets worse once more?
Ye Chutang drank the tea in the cup and stood up.
"Dean Song, let's go to the School of Calculation."
When he arrived at the School of Mathematics, Ye Chutang not only completed the public notice, but also gave away some missing formulas as a gift.
She also taught fast multiplication and simple calculations.
Song Zhiyan must be extremely intelligent to be able to become the president of Huating Academy.
Although he couldn't immediately understand what Ye Chutang said, he kept it in mind and planned to think about it slowly later.
Ye Chutang said: "If there is a chance in the future, I will talk about the calculation method of irregular figures. It is extremely useful for measuring acres of land."
To understand calculus, you need a strong mathematical foundation and detailed explanations. It is not something you can learn just by knowing the formulas.
Song Zhiyan understood the meaning behind Ye Chutang's words and his expression changed slightly.
He closed the door of the classroom and asked in a serious tone: "Miss Ye, will there be any trouble at your wedding with Prince Chen?"
Is the emperor finally going to take action against the Qi family?
Ye Chutang met Song Zhiyan's nervous eyes and said nothing.
She was not familiar with Song Zhiyan, and all she knew about him were rumors, so she naturally didn't believe him.
Song Zhiyan said anxiously: "Miss Ye, tell Prince Chen that if he wants to rebel, the Song family will support him."
Hearing this, Ye Chutang looked puzzled.
"Don't enter the court, don't get involved in power struggles, isn't that the Song family's motto?"
"Yes, the Song family also has a family motto, in times of chaos, only a wise ruler can help the country gain a stable foothold."
Dynasties change, and no one can stay out of it.
The Song family was able to survive for three hundred years because they always chose wise rulers and secretly fanned the flames.
Seeing that Song Zhiyan didn't seem to be lying, Ye Chutang revealed some information.
"Prince Chen cares about the people and will not rebel, but he has ways to deal with danger, so Dean Song doesn't have to worry."
Song Zhiyan asked again: "Since there is no danger, why did Miss Ye send your brother to Huating Academy?"
Could it be that the accident is not happening in Prince Chen's Mansion, but in the Shangshu Mansion?
This shouldn't happen. Ye Jingchuan has a shallow foundation and is a favorite of the emperor. The emperor has no reason to deal with him.
Ye Chutang looked at Song Zhiyan with a frown on his face, and the corners of his lips curled up.
"On the day of the wedding, Dean Song knew the reason."
"How long will your brother live in my yard?"
"At least three years, at most five years. Dean Song only needs to provide accommodation, and Jun'er's food and drink will be taken care of by the maid."
Song Zhiyan agreed, "Okay, I will ensure your brother's safety in the academy."
After the negotiation was completed, Ye Chutang took Jun'er and left the academy and returned to the Shangshu Mansion.
Ye Jingchuan had already sealed the servants' mouths, and not a single rumor about the theft in the Shangshu Mansion spread out.
In order to prevent Ye Anling from causing trouble, he promised to give her the two most profitable shops.
Ye Anling immediately agreed to Ye Jingchuan.
She did this not for the shop, but to expose the theft of Ye Chutang's dowry on her wedding day so that she could make a fool of herself!
Ye Chutang never considered Ye Anling as his opponent.
After knowing that she returned to the palace empty-handed, he smiled and said, "The Xishou Palace will definitely be very lively tonight."
After saying that, she called Jun'er and Le'er into the side room.
"Le'er, if Jun'er leaves the Ye family, will you stay or continue to take care of him?"
Although Le'er didn't understand what Ye Chutang meant, she chose Ye Anjun immediately without any hesitation.
"This servant is willing to follow the young master and take care of him forever."
"You take good care of Jun'er's food, clothing and daily life, and I will give you five taels of silver every month. After ten years, I will return your indenture."
Le'er immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Chutang.
"Thank you, young lady!"
She is thirteen years old now, and she won’t be much older in ten years.
At that time, she had both money and freedom, and she was happy just thinking about it.
Ye Chutang warned: "If you betray Jun'er, I will make you live a life worse than death."
"I swear on my life that I will never betray the young master!"
"Go out, Jun'er and I have something to talk about."
After Le'er left, Ye Chutang and Jun'er told him to go to Huating Academy to study and stay overnight.
"In addition to taking care of your Le'er, I will also arrange a guard for you."
Jun'er heard something was wrong and a look of nervousness appeared on his face.
"Eldest sister, what happened?"
"Well, I will be away from the capital for a while, so you should study hard."
"How long will Eldest Sister be gone? Will she come back? Can she take Jun'er with her?"
Ye Chutang held Jun'er's hand and said, "You are still young, and studying is your top priority. Of course, your elder sister will come back, but the date of return is uncertain."
Hearing this, tears appeared on Jun'er's face.
"Can Jun'er write a letter to his elder sister?"
He wanted to know where his eldest sister was and how she was doing.
Even if his eldest sister doesn't come back, when he grows up, he will know where to find her.
Ye Chutang nodded, "Of course, once I settle down, I will write to you and test your schoolwork."
"Okay, it's a deal."
"It's a deal!"
After Ye Chutang and Jun'er shook hands, they left the side room to look for Old Madam Ye.
The Shangshu Mansion is now managed by the old lady, and the servants' indentures are in her hands.
Old Madam Ye reluctantly handed Le'er's indenture contract to Ye Chutang.
"Another thirty taels wasted."
Ye Chutang turned a deaf ear to her words, took the indenture contract and left.
After returning to Ningchuyuan, she gave the indenture contract to Juner.
"Keep it. If Le'er has always been loyal to you and you don't need her anymore, you can let her go earlier."
"Jun'er understands."
"Eldest sister will make your favorite food."
After dinner, Ye Chutang climbed over the wall and left the Shangshu Mansion.
I'm about to be exiled, so I have to arrange everything as quickly as possible.
She went to Guangjuxuan.
Enter through the back door of the restaurant.
Then he used the black jadeite card representing Qi Yanzhou's identity to meet the shopkeeper.
Inside the secret room.
Ye Chutang stated the purpose of this bluntly.
"I want someone who is very skilled to protect Ye Anjun and teach him martial arts. The term is tentatively three years."
"As you command, I will make arrangements later."
His master is Qi Yanzhou, and also anyone who comes with the "Chen Wang Order".
"Send a reliable person to contact Manager Lin of Xinglin Hall, and arrange for someone to accompany the medicine dealer to transport the medicinal materials to the northwest. The specific location of transportation will be determined by the prince's message."
"As you command."
Ye Chutang handed the silver notes of 500,000 taels which had been counted out long ago to the shopkeeper.
"These silver notes are used to pay for the deposit and shipping costs of the medicinal materials. For the people who will be with you, each person will receive 100 taels. Please keep a detailed list of the expenses."
The highest denomination of the silver note was one thousand taels, and there were more small denominations, forming a thick stack.
The shopkeeper took the banknote respectfully and said, "As you command."
After Ye Chutang made all the arrangements, he left Guangjuxuan and returned to Ningchuyuan.
She practiced martial arts for a while, then sat for a while before taking a bath.
Jinzhi prepared hot water for Ye Chutang and said distressedly, "Miss, you are pregnant, don't be too tired."
"Aunt Jin, I'm done with my work. I can rest well and embroider the veil tomorrow."
Having said that, Ye Chutang got up at 3 a.m. the next day, changed his clothes and went to guard the entrance of the vegetable market.
Every time a vegetable vendor came, she would buy all the vegetables and put them into the space.
Under the other person's horrified eyes, she said in her old and hoarse voice:
"I'm the 'ghost thief'. Take the silver and don't tell anyone, or else..."
She made a gesture of wiping her neck.
The vegetable vendor nodded in fear, "No... no, we won't say anything."
"Let's go, bring some more vegetables tomorrow and go to the woods outside the city. I want to buy some."
"Yes, OK."
Perhaps because the name of "Ghost Thief" was too scary, the vegetable vendor came happily and left silently without making any noise.
Ye Chutang successfully collected all the vegetables from the market.
As for living things, knock them to death and put them into space.
