Grandma Wen's face darkened.
Old Mrs. Wen had a very bad relationship with Shen Qing, and their resentment had been building up for a long time. Therefore, she also loathed Shen Qing's two children.
"She does have some brains, and she's quite like her mother." Old Mrs. Wen tugged at the corners of her lips, a smile appearing on her deeply lined face.
Sharp-tongued and sarcastic.
Wen Nuan, standing beside her, gritted her teeth. She was in excruciating pain. All she knew was that Wen Nan had rented a shop, but Wen Nuan hadn't been there since.
Wen Nuan had heard of crayfish, but she had no desire to eat them at all. She spent all her money on clothes and jewelry.
Why would anyone queue up to buy crayfish?
So I had no idea that a shop had opened in Wennan and was doing so well.
"Go down," Old Mrs. Wen said, relenting.
Wen Nuan finally felt relieved, but the pain in her body became even more pronounced.
...
After leaving the county magistrate's residence, Wen Nan took advantage of the early hour and went directly to the entrance of the academy to wait for Lu Yanqing.
As always, she stood in a small corner of the elegant academy.
When Lu Yanqing came out, his bright eyes met Wen Nan's clear almond-shaped eyes.
"Husband." Wen Nan called softly, stepped forward and took Lu Yanqing's hand. The woman's hand slid down, she secretly glanced at Lu Yanqing, and then carefully grasped Lu Yanqing's little finger.
The woman's hands felt like the finest silk, and were slightly warm.
People were coming and going around, and many of the students from the academy cast curious glances at them.
Lu Yanqing's ear tips turned slightly red.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Ruyu was unsure whether to go or not.
Lu Yanqing pursed his lips and carefully withdrew his hand.
Wen Nan raised an eyebrow.
But when she saw the color of Lu Yanqing's ear tips, she instantly understood.
He... was shy in public.
Wen Nan walked beside Lu Yanqing at a distance, chatting with Zhang Ruyu intermittently.
Lu Yanqing walked ahead.
"Sister Nan, did you encounter any trouble today?" Zhang Ruyu raised an eyebrow at Wen Nan.
Wen Nan's identity is special; after all, she is the eldest daughter of the Wen family. Going to the county magistrate's office will definitely cause her some trouble.
"Yeah, a little bit," Wen Nan replied, but it wasn't much.
Wen Nan was talking to Zhang Ruyu.
Lu Yanqing's face grew increasingly grim.
Why do they have so much to say?
Lu Yanqing and the other two walked to the oxcart, but Wen Nan did not say a word to Lu Yanqing.
"Do you know how to solve the Master's question today?"
As Wen Nan and Zhang Ruyu were talking, Lu Yanqing suddenly said something out of the blue.
Zhang Ruyu's expression cracked. He swallowed hard; this was so difficult!
The question that the Master raised today is...
Is it difficult to establish and maintain an imperial enterprise?
Zhang Ruyu felt like dying when he had to answer questions and debate this topic tomorrow.
After Lu Yanqing's words, Zhang Ruyu deflated like a punctured balloon, drooping her head and remaining silent.
He glanced at Lu Yanqing with a resentful look. He had almost forgotten about it, so why did Lu Yanqing bring it up?
Once on the oxcart, only Zhang Ruyu was deep in thought. He was racking his brain trying to recall the problem, and his head felt like it was going to explode.
There were few people on the oxcart at night. Wen Nan sat quietly inside the oxcart, while Lu Yanqing sat outside.
Zhang Ruyu sat opposite him, next to Yang Sheng from the same village and a scholar from the next village.
Since Wen Nan resumed picking up and dropping off Lu Yanqing every day.
Yang Sheng and the scholar from the neighboring village closed their eyes as soon as they got on the carriage.
Zhang Ruyu was extremely frustrated. The teacher left them with a research topic for the next day.
Simply put, it's a debate, a test of who can brainwash whom and make sense in their arguments.
Zhang Ruyu was originally a mediocre person, but with Lu Yanqing's help during this period, his skills have improved slightly.
It's so hard, so hard.
Unlike before, Wen Nan did not lean on Lu Yanqing; there was still a distance between them.
Lu Yanqing remained silent at first. He looked up at Wen Nan, then subtly looked away.
Could it be... that he broke free from Wen Nan's hand and got angry?
So... what should we do?
Lu Yanqing lowered his eyes. When he secretly looked up at Wen Nan again, Wen Nan was already leaning against the carriage wall, dozing off.
Lu Yanqing moved silently to Wen Nan's side. Wen Nan was wearing a pale yellow dress and a hibiscus hairpin that Lu Yanqing had given her.
Leaning against the wall of the oxcart and closing his eyes, Lu Yanqing seemed to be able to see clearly the shadows left by the long eyelashes under the woman's eyes in the moonlight.
Her breathing became even, and with her eyes closed, she lost some of her liveliness but gained more tranquility.
The carriage jolted... Lu Yanqing reacted quickly and immediately placed her hand between Wen Nantong and the side of the oxcart.
Because of the bumpy ride, Wen Nan's head didn't hit the car wall, but instead hit Lu Yanqing's palm.
Lu Yanqing maintained his posture, but the mountain path was still difficult to walk on.
Wen Nan frowned. She opened her eyes, looked at Lu Yanqing in front of her, and then leaned on Lu Yanqing's shoulder.
"Husband, I'm so sleepy." Wen Nan stayed up very late last night to prepare food for the crayfish, and got up early this morning to catch a batch of crayfish with Wang Hunzi.
Have Wang Hunzi transport it to the county magistrate's office.
After that, she went straight to Li Chuyi's birthday party.
My eyes were already so sleepy I could barely keep them open.
Lu Yanqing's eyes flickered slightly, and he carefully reached out and put his arm around Wen Nan's shoulder.
