Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

When everyone at Baiheliang Academy heard Mr. Cai's question, it seemed that Mr. Cai had heard of the name Wen Rangjian and had a very deep impression of him.

For a moment, everyone was a little curious about what kind of relationship this Mr. Cai had with Wen Rangjian, and then they heard Mr. Cai laughing.

"Thank you Mr. Wen for strictly checking and rejecting this naughty child. Otherwise, I would not have met this naughty child today."

As he spoke, Mr. Cai pointed to Ye Changyan behind him and asked Wen Rangjian.

"I wonder if Mr. Wen still has any impression of this child?"

After hearing what Mr. Cai said, Wen Rangjian was confused. He seemed to have a vague impression of the young man that Mr. Cai was referring to, but he couldn't remember who he was.

According to the introduction by the headmaster, the old man in front of him is the former chief academic officer of the Imperial College and a great scholar of our time, Cai Zhengqing. A young man who can follow Mr. Cai must be of extraordinary status. Over the years, he has rejected countless students, but he has paid special attention to those with some status. But why can't he remember the young man in front of him?

Earlier, Tang Rui called the young man by his name, and Wen Rangjian was sure that his name was Ye Changyan. How did Ye Changyan and Tang Rui know each other? This made Wen Rangjian's mind confused.

Seeing that Wen Rangjian seemed to be trying hard to recall for a long time but still couldn't remember Ye Changyan, Mr. Cai laughed again.

"Hahaha... Mr. Wen is really devoted to his studies. It doesn't matter if I can't remember it for a while. Although this child is a little naughty, he is very much to my taste. Not long ago, I accepted this child as my official disciple. So I sincerely thank Mr. Wen, otherwise this child and I would not have the fate of master and disciple."

Why do the people at Baiheliang Academy feel that what Mr. Cai says is not right?

On the surface, he was thanking Wen Rangjian and praising him for his dedication to academic research and his cautiousness in accepting disciples, but secretly, there was a hint of sarcasm, as if he was saying that Wen Rangjian was unable to recognize a gold and jade, which was why Mr. Cai picked up a treasure.

You should know that the status of this last disciple in the sect is quite special. On the surface, he is ranked last in the sect, but in fact, he is often more favored than other brothers.

Just when everyone was thinking about their own things, Tang Rui finished his urgent need and ran back, and then he was heard shouting at the top of his voice.

"Ye Changyan, why don't you go to the restaurant to tell stories? Why are you here at the academy? Could it be that you earned money from telling stories and want to study at the academy?"

Seeing that the dean and senior executives of the academy were present, Tang Rui deliberately raised his voice, preparing to humiliate Ye Changyan. Tang Rui still held a grudge against Ye Changyan for humiliating him in public at Yunfeng Building that day.

Everyone heard the provocation in Tang Rui's words. Just when Wen Rangjian was about to speak out to stop Tang Rui, he heard Li Shen asking Tang Rui a question.

"Tang Rui, when did you first listen to Mr. Ye telling stories?"

When Tang Rui heard the headmaster's question, he felt excited and happy. It was a rare opportunity for him to show up in front of the headmaster, so he simply gave a brief description of Ye Changyan's storytelling at the literary meeting that day, adding some exaggeration. Of course, he made sure to hide the unpleasantness between himself and Ye Changyan.

After saying that, Tang Rui looked at Ye Changyan with a gloating expression, laughing in his heart, "See if you are still so arrogant? I wonder how the dean can possibly accept you into the academy."

But before Tang Rui could start to show off, he heard the headmaster looking at Ye Changyan excitedly and asking him something.

"So, my nephew is the storyteller of The White Snake. Mr. Hao is my good friend. He has praised my nephew for his excellent storytelling in front of me many times! My nephew, come on, come and talk to me about The White Snake."

Li Shen, Mr. Cai and their group surrounded Ye Changyan in the crowd, chatting as they walked forward.

The master and disciple Wen Rangjian and Tang Rui were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

At this moment, Wen Rangjian suddenly remembered who Ye Changyan was. Back then, an old man asked for the help of a merchant in Wanshou County and brought a half-grown child to his door, wanting to become his disciple. Wasn't that child Ye Changyan?

Wen Rangjian gradually recalled the general situation of that year, which made him more and more worried. If the headmaster knew about it, his image and status would definitely suffer a great blow.

Thinking about how his beloved disciple had recklessly rushed into Ye Changyan's gun, he felt scared.

Who would have thought that the young man Ye Changyan was rejected when he wanted to join Wen Rangjian's dilapidated temple, but somehow he was blessed by heaven and earth and later became a disciple of the great Buddha Cai Zhengqing.

The group gradually walked away, and no one paid attention to the master and disciple Wen Rangjian and Tang Rui anymore. People in Baiheliang Academy were all speculating that the future life of this master and disciple might not be so good.

It was already close to the evening hour when they came out of Baiheliang Academy. Li Shen had originally planned to invite him to stay for dinner, but Mr. Cai declined.

It is true that the food in this academy is far different from that in Yunfeng Tower. After coming out of Baiheliang Academy, the group's carriage went straight to Yunfeng Tower.

After returning to Yunfeng Tower, Ye Changyan learned from Zhong Yunfeng that the Wei Haojia candies from Zhong’s store were sold out today.

The original stock was sold out in less than two hours. Some wealthy families in Yuzhou Prefecture have already paid deposits. Most of these wealthy families have tried these candies in Yunfeng Tower, and they all plan to prepare some before the New Year as important gifts for this year's New Year.

According to the situation described by Zhong Yunfeng, with this first wave of hot market, Wei Haojia candy will continue to be popular for a while. After a brief discussion with Zhong Yunfeng and explaining the situation to Mr. Cai, Ye Changyan decided to return to Wanshou County tomorrow.

This wave of market conditions before the New Year must be seized upon. Ye Changyan plans to go back and supervise to see if there is any way to increase production capacity.

The next morning, Lu Tingfeng returned with Fang Xiaotong and his sister.

After learning about the general situation of the past two days from Lu Tingfeng, Ye Changyan decided to temporarily keep out of the crossfire with Hongxianglou. When Mr. Cai heard Ye Changyan's plan, he nodded in admiration.

Ye Changyan found a nearby clothing store and bought two sets of plain-colored clothes for the brother and sister.

After washing up in the inn and changing into their newly bought clothes, the brother and sister's true faces were revealed to everyone. Everyone couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Hongxianglou wanted to target this brother and sister.

After having lunch at Yunfeng Tower, Ye Changyan and his party prepared to leave. The carriage they had come in could no longer accommodate so many people, so Zhong Yunfeng arranged another carriage. With the farewell of the Zhong family father and son and Huang Huamin and others, the two carriages drove towards the west city gate.

In order to take care of Mr. Cai, the carriage did not move very fast along the way. It was almost You time when we returned to Chu Garden in the north of Wanshou County.

Mr. Cai originally planned to let the siblings stay in Chu Garden for one night, but Ye Changyan wanted to go back and learn about the situation in the processing workshop first so as to arrange ways to expand production capacity as soon as possible, so he declined Mr. Cai's offer.

Ye Changyan and his sister, as well as Fang Xiaotong and his sister, got on the Zhong family's carriage and headed towards Shanglin Village.

When the carriage was about to reach the milk processing plant, someone stopped the carriage, and then Second Aunt Liu and Silang rushed up crying.

"Sanlang, you're finally back. Hurry up and think of a way to save your second uncle and your second brother!"
