Chapter 14 Mr. Zou comes to visit

After Ye Erlang and others left, Mrs. Zhang held the heavy purse in her hand and said to Father Ye: "Ms. Zhou is really capable, and her cooking is really profitable. Fortunately, I didn't listen to Sanlang at the time and insisted on marrying Zhou. Come in."

Father Ye nodded and said: "It can be seen that Brother Zhou and the others really thought about our family when it came to the substitution, and they did not dislike Sanlang and look back..."

Before Father Ye could finish speaking, Mrs. Zhang interrupted him with a cold face: "How is that possible? You are thinking too much. I think the Zhou family has a blind eye for gold and jade, and mistakenly mistook the pearl for the eye of a fish. This is how it is possible." It’s cheaper than ours.”

Father Ye still spoke for the Zhou family... To be precise, it was Zhou Ran's father Zhou Heng who said: "Brother Zhou should not be that kind of person. If he hadn't stood up to testify for me, I would have been blackmailed by that family. ”

In August last year, Ye's father went to the county to sell game. As a result, he came out of the restaurant and walked a few steps when he met an old lady who fell in front of him. Her head fell on a stone, causing her head to bleed. , before he could react, the old lady’s family rushed out and surrounded him, saying that he had harmed their old lady and wanted him to pay compensation. If he was unwilling to pay, he would be sent to jail.

He couldn't argue at that time. Fortunately, Zhou Ran's father stood up and said that he saw that the old lady fell by herself.

It was also because of this kindness that he wanted to get married to the Zhou family.

Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly and said: "He did help you with this matter in the beginning, and I agree with him, so when the two families got engaged, they said they wanted a dowry gift of thirty taels of silver, and I agreed without saying a word. ”

"But how did their family do it? When Sanlang got into trouble, they replaced the literate and pretty cousin with a cousin who was mediocre in all aspects. What kind of friendship can there be in such a family?"

Father Ye argued in a low voice: "Didn't their family explain that Zhou's birth date is more prosperous for our Sanlang? Didn't you ask someone to check it at the time? Zhou's birth date is indeed more consistent with our Sanlang, and you yourself Didn’t I just say that Mrs. Zhou is a capable person? If their family is really such a ruthless and unjust person, how could they let Mr. Zhou marry her? "

"I also said that their family had eyes for gold and jade, and mistook pearls for fish eyes." Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes at Father Ye and said, "You are just a brainless person. Think about it, Mrs. Zhou just got married. The way she looked when she was young, she didn't even have a dowry, and she was dark and thin, which showed that the Zhou family didn't treat her well. If the Zhou family knew that she was capable, would the Zhou family treat her like this? The Zhou family has never sold cold noodles, which shows that the Zhou family does not know that Zhou has such ability."

If the Zhou family knew that Zhou had such ability, they might not have allowed Zhou to marry her.

Father Ye was speechless by Mrs. Zhang and closed his mouth dejectedly.

Mrs. Zhang didn't care about him, she snorted, took out the jar where she kept her money from under the bed and started counting the money. After counting, Mrs. Zhang put the jar back and sat on the chair, lost in thought.

Now that she had the income from braised pork sausages and cold noodles, she didn't have to worry about Sanlang not being able to afford medicine. However, Sanlang's health had not improved at all, and she didn't know how long he could hold on like this.

On this day, it rained in the evening. Although it was sunny when I got up early, the weather was slightly cooler than usual.

Zhou Ran and Ye Xiaomei were doing embroidery work in the shade of the courtyard. Suddenly there was the sound of carriages and horses outside the courtyard gate. At first, they thought it was Ye Erlang's donkey cart coming back, but when the door opened, they discovered that there was someone standing outside. It was not Ye Erlang and the others, but Ye Ximing's classmates and an old man. What was parked outside the door was not a donkey cart, but a carriage.

Wei Yan couldn't help but glance at Ye Xiaomei, and then greeted Zhou Ran with a smile, "Hello, sister-in-law, I'll bring Mr. Zou to see Brother Ye."

Mr. Zou originally planned to come to Xiyao Village to meet Ye Ximing after Dean Meng celebrated his birthday, but who would have thought that he drank some wine that day and accidentally fell and injured his foot. It didn't take a while. After listening to Wei Yan's words, Zhou Ran thought that Mr. Zou was the master of Qingfeng College, so he politely invited the two of them into the courtyard and asked Ye Xiaomei to call Ye Ximing and Ye's father.

There are guests at home. Since Father Ye and the others are at home, they have to show up.

Soon, Father Ye and Mrs. Zhang came out first. They didn't know Mr. Zou either. They just regarded him as an ordinary wife. They greeted him warmly and said a few polite words. They waited until Ye Ximing came out. left.

Zhou Ran and Ye Xiaomei couldn't stay in the yard anymore, so they packed up their things and went to Ye Xiaomei's house to continue their embroidery work.

In the courtyard, Ye Ximing heard Wei Yan introduce Mr. Zou to him. He couldn't believe it at first. After he was sure that Wei Yan was not joking with him, he cautiously said, "Mr. Zou, I wonder why you came to the student's home today?"

Mr. Zou smiled kindly and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to see you. Dean Meng showed me the article you wrote before. It's very well written and very spiritual. I was planning to accept you as a disciple." , but I didn’t know anything happened to you until I came to Nanxing County.”

Ye Ximing heard that Mr. Zou intended to accept him as his disciple. He was excited at first, but then he became sad when he thought about his current body. "I disappoint Mr. Zou. The student is now sick and weak. I'm afraid he won't be lucky enough to become Mr. Zou's disciple." ”

Mr. Zou smiled and said: "Your current body is indeed not suitable for studying knowledge, but if you can't do it now, it doesn't mean you won't do it in the future. Maybe one day your health will get better, and then you can become my disciple again." Not too late."

Ye Ximing also hopes that such a day will come, but his own body knows that he may not have such a day.

Mr. Zou saw Ye Ximing's frustration and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged. What you have to do now is to take good care of yourself. I'm waiting for the day when you recover and become my disciple."

After saying that, Mr. Zou took out a jade pendant from his body, handed it over, and said: "This jade pendant is my token for you. When you recover one day, come to me with this jade pendant." I may stay in Nanxing County for a few years."

"Old sir, this..."

Ye Ximing looked at the jade pendant in front of him and didn't know how to refuse it for a moment.

Mr. Zou looked at Ye Ximing and said, "If you don't accept it, is it because you don't want to recognize me as your teacher and think I'm not worthy of being your teacher?"

Ye Ximing immediately shook his head and said respectfully: "The old gentleman is knowledgeable and full of treasures. Being able to become his disciple is a blessing that many scholars in the world cannot ask for. How can a student be unwilling?"

"Then just hold the jade pendant." Mr. Zou said.

Ye Ximing couldn't refuse anymore, so he could only accept the jade pendant and said, "Thank you, sir, for your respect."
