In the afternoon, Shen Zhiyan went fishing at his usual spot.
I was busy preparing lesson plans the past two days and didn't have time to come.
But after fishing for a while, I started to get bored.
At this moment, his line actually moved. Shen Zhiyan narrowed his eyes, struggled for a while, and finally pulled up a crucian carp the size of his palm!
Holding the silver carp in his hand, Shen Zhiyan was in a good mood. He habitually turned around, but there was no one in sight.
She clenched her fists involuntarily. Damn it, she finally caught a decent one, but she wasn't here!
Shen Zhiyan lost interest in continuing and picked up his fishing gear to walk back.
When he got home, he immediately shoved the fish basket into the arms of the doorman.
The servant immediately flattered, "Oh my, congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir! You've had a great day! You've caught a big fish!"
“Take it down…” Shen Zhiyan paused as he spoke.
"Would you like it steamed or made into soup, sir?"
Shen Zhiyan thought for a moment: "Take it down and keep it there. We'll cook it again tomorrow at noon."
"Yes, sir, I'll take care of it right away."
Shen Zhiyan returned to the study, but sitting down to read didn't feel right, and lying down didn't feel right either. Finally, he threw the book on the table and said, "Dragon Boat Festival."
"What are your orders, sir?" The servant boy, Duanwu, walked in.
"Go out for a bit."
...
In the afternoon, Jin Hua, Ye Yong, and the others finally returned.
Upon learning that Ye Caiping had saved two people, they were very curious but dared not approach to disturb her. In Ye Caiping's words, they should just do what they were supposed to do and be polite to the guests.
Mrs. Du and Old Mrs. Ye pulled Hu Xiuxiu into the room: "What do you think of that young master?"
Hu Xiuxiu said, "He has eyes for Jin Hua, he's gentle, and very generous. He's just a little too generous..."
“Is being generous a bad thing?” Du glared at her.
"That's not what I meant... It was just that he insisted on paying the bill for lunch."
"Isn't this a good thing? It's the first time we've met Jin Hua's family. They really care about Jin Hua, so naturally we should rush to pay the bill. Do you think we should let you pay?"
Hu Xiuxiu nodded: "That makes sense. Later, when we were strolling around the street, Xiaoyan and my husband saw some fun little gadgets, and he said he would buy them for us."
"That's really generous!" Madam Du exclaimed happily.
Grandma Ye frowned: "Can't we afford it?"
Hu Xiuxiu: "Yes, yes, that's exactly how I feel. It's only right that we treat him to a meal, but I always feel like he's looking down on us a bit."
Madam Du was taken aback: "Mother, is it wrong for someone to be generous? Xiuxiu, don't stir up trouble."
Hu Xiuxiu pouted.
Grandma Ye gave Du a disapproving look: "They say a mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him. It's not even a proper match yet, and you're already protecting him. Be more sensible!"
Madam Du said, "We haven't met him properly yet. We can only make a decision after we officially meet him. Don't worry, Mother. Jinhua is my own daughter. Even if I'm confused, I would never promise her to him so easily."
Grandma Ye nodded: "That's good enough."
...
Ye Caiping was looking at accounts in the study when Xiao Yan ran in: "Auntie, someone has come from outside. They say they are from Master Shen's family."
Ye Caiping arrived at the outer hall, where a servant boy greeted her with a smile: "Greetings, Madam Ye."
"Hello, hello." Ye Caiping was quite surprised.
Ye Xuan and the three maids returned at noon, so why send someone else all of a sudden?
Are you looking for Ye Xuan and the others? Why not just go directly to them?
“My master said that the young ladies have been attending classes for several days now. Doesn’t Madam Ye want to see what they’re learning?”
Ye Caiping was stunned: "I still want to see?"
“Of course,” Duanwu said. “When my young lady was learning, my master would always be there to watch until he was sure that the content was suitable for her before he would let go.”
Ye Caiping was suddenly struck by a sudden realization, and a sense of guilt overwhelmed her.
Good heavens, she's so incompetent!
In modern times, she has never been a mother, but she knows the educational process: just drop the child off at school and hand them over to the teacher.
In ancient times, did you have to attend several lessons?
Duanwu said, "The men are fine; just hand them over to the teacher. But the girls... we should still take a closer look."
Ye Caiping nodded: "Master Shen is right, thank you for your guidance."
"What...what classes are we having tomorrow?"
"I didn't know... I just came to remind Lady Ye."
"Okay, thank you. I'll go with them tomorrow!"
Lady Pingguo won't wake up tomorrow morning either, and with Granny Yu and Old Lady Ye taking care of her, it won't be a problem.
By the way, tomorrow I'll have Ye Daquan go to the prefectural city and invite a skilled doctor back to take another look.
Although Zhao Lang's medical skills were good, they were ultimately limited.
Duanwu smiled and nodded: "Then I'll take my leave."
...
The next morning, Ye Caiping and several children arrived at the Shen family's house.
Then, Ye Jin'er and the other two arrived at the classroom.
When Shen Manman saw Ye Caiping come in, she immediately beamed and skipped over.
She wore two golden cricket hairpins, and their antennae swayed as she walked. Ye Caiping found it both fascinating and adorable.
She'll have to buy one for Jin'er and the other two too!
"Oh dear, what wind blew Auntie here?" Shen Manman said, wringing her handkerchief.
Ye Caiping said, "I came to listen to the class and see what Jin'er and the others have learned."
Shen Manman: "Hmph, my father did the same thing back then, and he even changed several tutors! But... all of these tutors were handpicked by my father, and they were all top-notch."
"After hearing this, Auntie... do you have any advice to offer?"
Ye Caiping was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes."
These teachers are all excellent, and they will naturally teach according to the students' aptitudes. Putting aside the fact that she is now a village woman, even with her modern education, she would not understand the intricacies of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting if she came here to listen.
