Chapter 11 Misunderstanding
Zhou Ran's eyes flashed, and she avoided Ye Ximing's eyes looking directly at her with some guilt.

Seeing her like this, Ye Ximing did not continue to be aggressive, but said bluntly: "Dean Meng is a decent person and he never likes people who speculate. If you do this, it may be counterproductive."

"Ah?" Zhou Ran was stunned. After realizing what Ye Ximing meant, she said angrily: "I admit that I was a little thoughtful in giving Dean Meng's embroidery, but I just wanted to give my embroidery a brush. It’s just to gain fame, and you don’t ask him for anything. If you don’t want to, forget it. What do you mean by saying this?”

Ye Ximing believed what Zhou Ran said, with a look of guilt on his face, "Sorry, I misunderstood you, I thought..."

He thought that Zhou Ran did this for his cousin Zhou Siqi, because Wei Yan told him today that Mr. Zou, a close friend of Dean Meng, came to Nanxing County a few days ago. There were rumors that Mr. Zou wanted to take Qingfeng from Qingfeng. The academy selects a student and accepts him as a disciple.

Mr. Zou is a great Confucian who is famous all over the world. He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Scholars all over the world want to be under his name and get his guidance. However, Mr. Zou has never had any intention of accepting a disciple.

When the late emperor was in power, he sent people to invite him to the Imperial Academy several times to serve as a wine worshipper, but he always refused. This time Mr. Zou finally had the idea of ​​accepting a disciple. The scholars at Qingfeng Academy who had received the news could not sit still. They all hoped to seize this opportunity and become Mr. Zou's only disciple.

According to Wei Yan, the news that Mr. Zou wanted to recruit a disciple came out just before Zhou Ran and him inquired about Dean Meng, so he mistakenly thought that Zhou Siqi had come to Zhou Ran and wanted to use him to get benefits from Dean Meng. After all, Dean Meng and Mr. Zou are close friends. If Dean Meng opens his mouth, Mr. Zou will give Dean Meng some face.

Zhou Ran didn't expect such a coincidence. After hearing Ye Ximing's explanation, she couldn't help but snorted coldly and said: "You really know how to think about it. Don't say that Zhou Siqi didn't come to me. Even if he came to me, I wouldn't." Help him."

There is no good person in the Zhou family. In the memory of the original owner, although Zhou Siqi, a cousin, did not bully the original owner like his cousin Zhou Ying, he did not treat the original owner as his sister. Most of the time, he treated the original owner as a maid. Yes, she was crazy to help Zhou Siqi.

Ye Ximing sighed and said: "It's my villain's heart, don't be angry. You are right. I did receive a lot of care from Dean Meng when I was in the academy. I should indeed give him a birthday gift. You A picture of two reeds and ducks is very suitable. I will ask my eldest brother to help add the base later and send it to Meng Yuan on his birthday, okay?"

Zhou Ran was satisfied in her heart, but said: "No need to force it."

Ye Ximing: "Don't force it, don't force it. Give me the stuff and I'll go find my brother right away."

Ye Ximing said as he stood up and left the room to look for Ye Dalang.

The door closed, and Zhou Ran let out a long breath, finally getting it done.

As a carpenter, Ye Dalang had all kinds of wood at home. Hearing Ye Ximing say that the things were to be given to Dean Meng, Ye Dalang used the best wood at home - a piece of old mahogany given to him by his master.

After the things were finished, the Ye family also saw this exquisitely embroidered table screen.

Mrs. Li bent down and stared at the embroidered pattern for a long time, then turned to Zhou Ran and said: "Third brother and sister, I really didn't expect that your embroidery skills are so good. I have never seen such exquisite embroidery skills in my whole life. I don't know." Third brother and sister, can you teach me a lesson?"

Ye Xiaomei, who was staring at Xiuxun in a daze at the side, heard Li's words and suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhou Ran, her dark eyes filled with anticipation that she was aware of.

Zhou Ran nodded to Mrs. Li first, "If my second sister-in-law wants to learn, of course I can teach you, but embroidery is a very patient thing, I just don't know if my second sister-in-law can persist."

Li said nonchalantly: "I'll learn first. If you can learn it, you can learn it. If you can't learn it, you can't learn it. What a big deal."

Zhou Ran laughed and said, "The second sister-in-law said yes, then the second sister-in-law should learn to read it first."

After saying that, Zhou Ran turned to Ye Xiaomei who was standing aside, "Little sister, do you want to learn with me? You have a quiet temperament, so you should be very suitable for learning embroidery."

Ye Xiaomei nodded heavily and whispered: "Thank you, third sister-in-law, I will definitely learn from you." Zhou Ran looked at her well-behaved look and smiled.

When Zhou Ran turned to her sister-in-law Chen, before Zhou Ran could speak, Chen waved her hands and said, "I won't learn anymore. I'm clumsy and can't do such delicate work. The kitchen is more suitable for me."

Zhou Ran didn't hesitate to see this.

To teach Li and Ye Xiaomei how to embroider, Zhou Ran no longer stayed in the house when doing embroidery work, but moved to the yard.

Ye Xiaomei is very talented in embroidery, such as needlework. Zhou Ran gives her a little guidance and she can understand and learn it, and the stitches are very fine.

But Ms. Li was not good at it. She could embroider even the simplest stitches crookedly, and she couldn't sit still, so she gave up after only half a day.

The day after Ye Ximing completed the work on Taiping, he asked Ye Dalang to make a trip and deliver the things to Wei Yan's home, asking Wei Yan to deliver the things to Dean Meng on the day of Meng Yuan's longevity.

Dean Meng’s birthday is on June 13th.

Although during this period, Dean Meng was extremely annoyed by people who came to bring gifts and seek connections, but this time was his sixtieth birthday after all, so he still sent out a lot of posts.

On June 13th, there were constant visitors at the gate of Meng's Mansion. After Wei Yan entered Meng's Mansion, he was brought directly to Dean Meng.

Dean Meng frowned slightly when he saw Wei Yan, "Ayan, why are you here? The provincial examination is coming soon. The most important thing you should do now is study hard, instead of coming to celebrate my birthday."

Wei Yan sighed helplessly, he knew this would be the case.

"Uncle, I don't want to come either, but as a matter of loyalty to others, I will leave immediately after I deliver my things."

Dean Meng frowned even more when he heard this, "Who are you giving gifts for? You know my temper. If you dare to accept gifts from others casually..."

Wei Yan didn't wait for Dean Meng to finish his words before interrupting him: "Stop, uncle, how dare I accept gifts from others casually? It was Ye Ximing who knew that you were celebrating your birthday and asked me to give you a birthday gift."

Dean Meng's frown relaxed after hearing this, "How is Ye Ximing's health?"

Wei Yan shook his head: "Not very good."

Dean Meng sighed and said with a look of regret on his face: "God is jealous of the talented people!"

Wei Yan nodded in agreement, fearing that Dean Meng would lecture him again if he stayed any longer, so while Dean Meng was still immersed in his own thoughts, he put down the birthday gift he brought and ran away.

When Dean Meng reacted, there was no trace of Wei Yan in front of him.
