A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Liu Yuyao was confused and asked, "What relatives? What do you mean by that?"

Shen Jiao said with joy: "Sister Yuyao, it's about my second brother and your sister Shuyao!"

Liu Yuyao was even more confused and said impatiently: "Please explain it clearly. What could be going on between Shuyao and your second brother?"

Shen Jiao showed a surprised expression and said, "Sister Yuyao, my second brother and Shuyao are in love with each other. Everyone in the village knows it! Don't you know?"

Hearing this, Liu Yuyao's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shen Jiao was very proud, this was exactly the effect she wanted!

She ignored Liu Yuyao's expression and continued, "I asked my second brother privately, and he admitted it. He also said that he would let my mother go to your house to propose marriage in a few days!"

Liu Yuyao was furious. How dare a peasant like him covet his sister?

She didn't want to listen to Shen Jiao anymore, so she pushed Shen Jiao away and left angrily.

The reason why Liu Yuyao came to the poetry reading today was entirely because of Su Yan.

Su Yan is from Yangshu Village, next to Shenjia Village. His father died early, and he has only a mother and a younger sister at home.

Su Yan had been a good student since childhood and was a well-known talent in the surrounding villages. He passed the examination and became a scholar at the age of seventeen.

Two years ago, a coal-burning woman came to propose marriage to Liu Yuyao, and the target was Su Yan.

Liu Yuyao also agreed at the time, because she also knew that Su Yan was talented. Although the family was a little poor at the time, if he could pass the imperial examination in the future, he could become an official. Then she would be an official's wife!

Although Liu Yuyao's family is rich, it is still far inferior to the official family.

But man proposes, God disposes. Su Yan failed the provincial examination last year and did not pass the imperial examination.

Liu Yuyao was very disappointed and thought that Su Yan was just a name for nothing, so she regretted getting engaged to him.

So when Su Yan came to visit her one time, Liu Yuyao had him kicked out.

It happened to rain heavily that day, and Su Yan was soaked like a drowned rat.

In the end, Liu Shuyao couldn't stand it anymore and gave Su Yan a piece of clothing and an umbrella.

Later, the marriage between Su Yan and Liu Yuyao was called off.

Who would have thought that Su Yan would pass the exam again this year and rank among the top. I heard that he would first serve as the chief clerk in the county government, and would take over the position of county magistrate next year.

When Liu Yuyao heard the news, she regretted it so much!

Just now, she heard that Lan Ya Ju had a poetry gathering and invited Su Yan to be a judge, so she signed up without hesitation. She just wanted to show her face in front of Su Yan and find a chance to repair their relationship.

Who knew that when Su Yan saw her, he pretended not to know her and walked around her and left.

Liu Yuyao was just getting annoyed when Shen Jiao called her over. She also told her that her sister had an unclear relationship with a peasant. How could she not be angry?

Shen Jiao looked at Liu Yuyao's back and smiled sinisterly.

When she returned to Gao Xiuwen, she regained her kind and innocent appearance.

Here, Shen Qingqian went up to the third floor to get the silver, and was stopped by a man dressed as a servant.

"Miss Shen, my master wants to see you. Please come with me to the private room on the second floor."

Shen Qingqian was stunned. What master? What did he want to see her for? She said cautiously, "I'm sorry, little brother. I have something else to do. It's really inconvenient for me to see your master. I'll leave first!"

As he spoke, he prepared to leave.

The servant didn't expect Shen Qingqian to have this attitude!

Since returning to Ping'an Town, everyone who was summoned by his master was flattered! Why did this person seem to be avoiding him?

Oh, yes! She must not know the identity of her master.

The servant quickly stopped Shen Qingqian and said, "Miss Shen, my master is looking for you because he likes your poems. Also, this poetry gathering was organized by my master, and the prize money was also paid by my master."

When Shen Qingqian heard this, she stopped in her tracks. It turned out that the person who organized this poetry meeting wanted to see her!

I must go! If it weren't for this kind man providing opportunities and creating a platform, how could I win so much money!

She immediately agreed: "Okay, let's go!"

The servant led Shen Qingqian to the door of a room and knocked.

"Come in!" a male voice came from inside.

"Miss Shen, please."

The servant helped Shen Qingqian open the door, but he did not go in.

When Shen Qingqian entered the room, she saw three men sitting in the room, one old and two young.

She recognized one of the men; it was Zhao Feng, the second place winner of the poetry competition.

Zhao Feng was sitting there drinking tea, looking leisurely.

Shen Qingqian was secretly complaining in her heart, it turned out that Zhao Feng had a close relationship with the person who organized the poetry meeting!

"Hello, old sir. Hello, gentlemen."

Shen Qingqian bowed politely.

Zhou Hongqian nodded and said, "Little girl, sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, old man. I'll just stand."

Shen Qingqian wanted to say a few words and then leave, so she didn't plan to sit down.

Zhou Hongqian got straight to the point and said, "Young lady, you are quite talented. Are you willing to be my student?"

This surprised Shen Qingqian. She asked, "You want to take me as your student? May I ask who you are...?"

"My name is Zhou Hongqian. I used to be a teacher in the capital. Now I'm just an old man retiring and returning to my hometown." Zhou Hongqian said with a smile.

It turns out that this old man is a teacher from the capital! No wonder he looks so impressive!

Shen Qingqian knew that the reason Zhou Hongqian accepted her as a student was because she won first place in the poetry competition.

But she knew in her heart that those poems were not written by her at all! She had no choice but to attend the poetry reading!

Therefore, she will no longer borrow other people's poems to climb up the social ladder and find a teacher!

Shen Qingqian said: "Thank you for your appreciation, sir, but I have a lot of things to do and really don't have time to study, so..."

"You are such an ungrateful woman! Do you know how many people want to be your disciple? And you actually refuse them?"

Without waiting for Shen Qingqian to finish her words, Zhao Yifeng spoke with dissatisfaction.

Zhao Yichen sat aside without saying anything, just frowned slightly.

Zhou Hongqian was not angry, and said with a smile: "Yifeng is right, but there are many people who want to be my disciple! Are you sure you want to give up such a good opportunity?"

Shen Qingqian is not someone who is inflexible. Now that others have said so, what else does she have to worry about?

It’s not that she is thick-skinned, but she just can’t refuse such a kind invitation!

Shen Qingqian didn't say anything more. He bowed deeply to Zhou Hongqian and said, "Student Shen Qingqian greets the teacher!"

Zhou Hongqian nodded and said, "Well, he is a smart kid!"

Zhao Yifeng stood up and said, "What did you say your name was? Shen Qingqian! But, I remember your name at the poetry meeting was Shen Qing."

He circled around Shen Qingqian again and said, "You use a fake name and cover your face with a veil. Is it because you are too ugly, or have you done something bad that you dare not show your true face to others?"

Shen Qingqian really admired this man's imagination! She rolled her eyes and said, "How could it be? I am a beautiful and kind girl, not like what you said!"

Zhao Yifeng sneered, this woman is really not modest!
