Chapter 68: Country girls are also worthy of studying?
Yi Mingxue quickly helped Cheng Ju up.
His wife also rushed out after hearing the news.
When I heard that Yi Mingxue was the benefactor who took action to expose Hu Youcai's crimes that day.
Immediately he burst into tears and said, "If it hadn't been for our benefactor's intervention, we don't know how long we would have been kept in the dark! Now he has been detained by the county government, and a trial will be held in the near future. The head of my house who died unjustly also
I can finally rest in peace!"
After saying that, he covered his face again and started to cry.
Cheng Ju quickly asked his wife to help his mother aside.
He calmed down his emotions and continued with Yi Mingxue, "I originally planned to come to my house to thank you in the past two days, but it was such a coincidence that you came to my house first."
With that said, Cheng Ju quickly poured a cup of hot tea for the sisters Yi Mingxue.
"I don't know if my benefactor is here, but something is wrong?"
Yi Mingxue really didn't expect that the people recommended by Shopkeeper Mei were the owners of the grocery store.
Moreover, the other party's attitude made her a little embarrassed.
"Brother Cheng, Aunt Cheng, please stop calling me my benefactor! You should call me by my name - Yi Mingxue. This is my third sister Yi Changle. To be honest, I came to visit you today for the sake of studying for my younger siblings.
thing."
After saying that, she handed over Boss Mei's letter of recommendation.
After Cheng Ju read the letter, he immediately understood the reason.
He immediately patted his chest and promised, "If my benefactor has a request, Cheng will do his best. Don't worry, Mrs. Zeng's first wife is my daughter-in-law's first cousin. If you think about it, this matter is not difficult."
He was convinced by Yi Mingxue on the other end, but his mother-in-law winked at him desperately from the side.
But Cheng Ju seemed like he didn't see it.
He also kept greeting Sister Yi Mingxue and had lunch at his house.
"It's getting late now. How about if my benefactor had lunch at my house, Zhuo Jing and I would go with you to Master Zeng's house in the afternoon?"
Yi Mingxue looked at the sky and saw that it had just passed.
She glanced at Cheng Ju's wife again, whose face was getting more and more ugly.
Finally, he refused, "It's still early in the morning, and I have other things to do in the afternoon, so I won't have lunch! If Brother Cheng and Sister Cheng are willing to help introduce Mrs. Zeng, my Yi family will be very grateful in the near future."
"My benefactor, please never say thank you..."
"Yes! Sister Mingxue, we should have come to thank you."
Cheng Ju and his wife quickly refused.
His wife, on the other hand, was dissatisfied with the man and her mother-in-law being so polite to a country girl.
On one side, he muttered in a low voice, "How can a few country boys become Master Zeng's closed disciples? I'm afraid they are deliberately trying to repay a favor and come here to embarrass someone!"
She spoke very quietly, but Yi Mingxue's hearing was too sensitive.
Cheng Ju and his wife were very enthusiastic, but in the final analysis, his wife had to talk to Mrs. Zeng. But his wife, ever since she rented his grain stall, had been treating Yi Ming
Xue was particularly opinionated.
It seems that this road may not work.
Yi Mingxue sighed secretly, but she still didn't want to give up.
Simply take out the red envelope that was prepared in advance and put it on the Cheng family's table.
"This is the thank you gift I prepared for the introducer. I also ask Brother Cheng and Sister Cheng not to refuse."
Then, without waiting for the Cheng family to speak, she continued.
"I can rest assured that I will leave this matter to my eldest brother and sister-in-law. But you must not mention the word repaying a favor. Hu Youcai and I already have a private lawsuit. I reported him to protect myself."
She spoke sincerely.
The key point is that the red envelope looks swollen, there must be a lot of it.
This made Cheng Ju's wife beside her feel more comfortable, and the expression on her face immediately changed.
"Hey, sister, you are too polite! No matter whether you have any disagreements with Hu Youcai or not, it is a fact that you helped our Cheng family. If my father-in-law were still alive, he would definitely repay you."
After saying that, she picked up the red envelope on the table.
He forced out an awkward smile and said, "It's not difficult to introduce you to Master Zeng, but my sister-in-law has to say ugly things first. My brother-in-law's temper has become increasingly bad in recent years, and he is extremely harsh in selecting his disciples..."
At this point, Cheng Ju's wife deliberately prolonged the ending of the sentence.
Yi Mingxue understood and cooperated with her with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Whether it succeeds or not depends on my sister's ability."
Cheng Ju's wife covered her mouth with her sleeves and said, "If things don't work out, what about this red seal...?"
"Hongliu!" Cheng Ju knew his wife's nature well.
Drink immediately and stop making any noise.
Yi Mingxue had expected this scene. However, her expression did not change and she immediately agreed.
"The red seal is meant to thank the person who introduced you. Whether it succeeds or fails, there is no reason to take it back."
"That's pretty much it!" Cheng Ju's wife put down her sleeves and showed a satisfied look.
Immediately, several people left the Cheng family.
Walk to Mrs. Zeng’s house.
On the way, Cheng Ju found an opportunity to get close to Yi Mingxue.
Blushing, she said in embarrassment, "I'm making you laugh, my wife is not bad in nature, but she loves petty gains and doesn't speak well."
Yi Mingxue smiled but said nothing.
Because of Cheng Ju's daughter-in-law, she had no intention of having a close relationship with the Cheng family.
But this time, the request came to someone's door again.
The other party is greedy for money and wants money.
For Yi Mingxue, this is actually a good thing.
After all, it is much easier and faster to get money in exchange for money than to owe a favor.
"Brother Cheng, it's okay! My sister-in-law collects money to do things, and I feel at ease."
As they talked, they arrived in front of Master Zeng's house.
He was the only scholar in the town, and he was the mentor of many squires and children of wealthy families.
This courtyard is naturally quiet and atmospheric.
Seeing that the cousin of the host's wife was coming, the concierge naturally let him go.
All the way into the front hall, I heard the sound of reading coming from next door from time to time.
It has quite a school atmosphere.
Yi Changle opened his beautiful big eyes and looked around.
His face was full of novelty.
She secretly pulled the corner of Yi Mingxue's clothes and whispered, "Sister! Can I really come here to study?"
Yi Mingxue was about to nod.
Suddenly, I saw a few chubby boys emerging out of thin air from the octagonal pavilion on the side.
They pointed at Yi Changle and laughed and mocked without restraint.
"Did I hear that right? A girl actually wants to study in a school?"
"Still a country girl!"
"Hahaha - I'm afraid I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm talking nonsense here -"
The boys were dressed in unusual clothes. Judging from their age, they should be two or three years older than Yi Changle.
Yi Mingxue frowned and was about to speak.
However, Cheng Ju's wife hurriedly stopped her, and she said nervously to Yi Mingxue:
"We can't afford to offend these ancestors! It's better to go see my cousin first. We need to do business first."
Yi Mingxue did not nod immediately, but instead lowered her head and looked at Yi Changle.
He asked, "They are mocking you, but you have more important things to do right now. So, how are you going to deal with it?"
She originally thought Yi Changle would choose to fight back.
Unexpectedly, the little girl actually smiled and said disdainfully.
"They have no understanding of me, so they talk nonsense, which shows that they are ignorant by nature. You said that you should not pay for other people's stupidity, so naturally I want to pay a visit to the Master."
After saying that, she stopped looking at the boys.
He just held her eldest sister's hand, turned around and left.
Yi Mingxue showed a happy smile like a child could teach.
