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

Through the words of Xu and Liu, Ye Changyan learned that the old lady Guo’s intervention had indeed worked.

The two sisters-in-law went to Feng's house in the county town early in the morning with gifts.

Fortunately, the wound on Mrs. Feng's face was just a slight break in the skin, which caused bleeding. It looked scary, but it was actually not serious.

Although he did not receive a good reception from the Feng family, fortunately after making an apology and leaving some money, the matter was put to rest.

However, the marriage between the eldest son Ye Changshu and the eldest lady of the Feng family was ruined.

It sounded very regretful from Xu's words. I guess the old lady gave enough compensation to the first wife, otherwise Xu and Liu would not be as harmonious as they seemed on the surface.

"Sanlang, you have many classmates, please help your elder brother find out if there is any girl of the right age. At your elder brother's age, we dare not delay any longer."

While the sisters-in-law were chatting, Xu saw Ye Changyan coming out of Wulang's room and said to Ye Changyan.

When Liu heard this, she quickly interrupted and said, "Sanlang, your second brother is already an adult, so remember to ask for him."

"You two aunts are kidding. You need to find Zhang the matchmaker for this matter, or go to the county to find the official matchmaker. The official matchmaker has information about eligible men and women in the county."

After a burst of laughter, the two sisters-in-law were about to leave.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, Erniu has already cooked the meal, let's eat first."

Lian would save some food out of habit.

Xu waved her hand and said, "Go back and eat. Sister Chun will have cooked it when you leave."

Although Liu wanted to stay for dinner, she saw Xu had already walked out of the courtyard, so she had to wave her hand and followed her out. Soon, she saw the two sisters-in-law disappear into the falling night.

That night, Wulang's fever gradually subsided after taking the medicine.

Seeing this, the Ye family finally felt relieved. Ye Xiaozheng and his wife and Erniu went back to their rooms to rest. Ye Changyan was responsible for changing Wulang's cold towel at night.

Chu Garden in the north of Wanshou County.

"Why is the taste of this Yun sister's cooking so different from that of the Ye family kid?"

Mr. Cai chewed the shredded pork with fish flavor that had just been served, with an indescribable strange expression on his face.

It is not fish-flavored shredded pork, but it is indeed fish-flavored shredded pork. It has the sourness, sweetness and slight spiciness of fish-flavored pork, but it doesn't taste like that when you chew it in your mouth.

Mr. Cai reached out and picked up another piece of twice-cooked pork with chopsticks. The twice-cooked pork looked quite appetizing.

"It's still not right. Why is it so chewy? I have two teeth and can't chew it."

Liang Jingcheng, who was standing by, shook his head when he saw the teacher like this.

"Teacher, you are too picky about Sister Yun. I hope there will be no one to cook for you when the time comes."

As he spoke, Liang Jingcheng also stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork. Mr. Cai stared at Liang Jingcheng, and seeing that Liang Jingcheng's expression changed with the chewing movement in his mouth, Mr. Cai couldn't help laughing.

Liang Jingcheng was a little skeptical and stretched his chopsticks towards the shredded pork with fish flavor. Then he saw an indescribable expression on his face.

"Haha, is Master picking on Sister Yun?"

Seeing Liang Jingcheng's expression, Mr. Cai couldn't help but laugh and asked back.

“Why is this happening? This is just not what it feels like.”

Liang Jingcheng was also shocked. The dishes didn't look much different, but why did the taste differ so much?

“It must be that the Ye family kid is not sincere in teaching.”

Liang Jingcheng shook his head. "I don't think so. It must be that Sister Yun is just a beginner and hasn't completely mastered the trick yet."

"No, no, we have to go to the Ye family this afternoon and give this guy a lesson."

Having said that, the teacher and the student simply made do with some food, and then told Lu Tingfeng to arrange a carriage.

“Boom boom boom…”

There was a knock on the Ye family's door. Wulang was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and Ye Changyan was taking care of him inside.

Erniu ran to open the door and saw an old man with white hair and beard and a smile on his face outside the door. Next to him stood a handsome and elegant young man. Erniu was stunned for a moment, wondering if the other party had knocked on the wrong door.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"Ye Changyan lives here, right?"

The old man took two steps forward with a smile on his face, and Erniu saw Lu Tingfeng standing behind the old man. She had met Lu Tingfeng once before.

"Are you Mr. Cai?"

Erniu asked uncertainly. She only heard her brother say that Mr. Cai was kind and amiable, but he did not say that Mr. Cai looked older than her grandfather.

"Little girl, how do you know me?"

Erniu shook her head and pointed at Lu Tingfeng behind Mr. Cai.

"I know him. He came to deliver the invitation last time."

"Hahaha, little girl, you have good eyesight and memory. Is your brother at home?"

"Yes, old sir. Please come in."

As she spoke, Erniu invited the few people into the courtyard.

Lian and Ye Xiaozheng saw a few strangers, followed their daughter into the courtyard, and hurried forward to ask Erniu.

"Dad, Mom, this is the old Mr. Cai that my brother often mentioned. He came here specially to visit Wulang."

Ye Xiaozheng and Lian hurriedly went to greet them warmly, but both Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng felt that something was wrong.

Ye Xiaozheng and Lian were welcoming people into the house enthusiastically, while they heard Lian calling towards Wulang's room.

"Sanlang, please come out quickly. Mr. Cai is here to visit Wulang."

Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng, who were wondering what was wrong, realized that something was really wrong when they heard Lian's voice.

Erniu took it for granted that Mr. Cai came home to visit Wulang, and was completely unaware of Wulang's injury. Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng looked at each other, and then saw Ye Changyan walking out of the house.

"Mr. Cai, Mr. Liang, please come in and sit down. Erniu will go and boil some water."

Ye Changyan was a little surprised. Why did Mr. Cai and Mr. Liang come to his house? From what his mother said before, it seemed that they came to visit Wulang. Ye Changyan was a little surprised. How did they know that Wulang was injured?

"Dad, Mom, this is Mr. Cai whom I often mentioned to you. This is Mr. Cai's disciple, Liang Jingcheng, Master Liang, and this is Master Liang's attendant, Lu Tingfeng, Master Lu."

Ye Xiaozheng and Lian knew that Mr. Cai and Mr. Liang were of extraordinary status, so they greeted each other very humbly. Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng also greeted each other politely, and then Mr. Cai asked.

"How is your brother?"

Mr. Cai knew that Ye Changyan had three siblings. Now he only saw his sister but not his brother. His sister mistakenly thought that he came to visit his brother. It seemed that his brother was probably sick, so he asked the same question as before.

"Wu Lang was stung by a wild bee yesterday. He was so swollen and painful that he finally fell asleep."

After hearing what Ye Changyan said, Mr. Cai reached out his hand to Liang Jingcheng, and saw Liang Jingcheng put a gold ingot in Mr. Cai's palm.

Mr. Cai took the gold ingot with a laugh, then walked over as if no one was around and took a jade pendant from Liang Jingcheng's waist.

Mr. Cai's actions made everyone present look at him with some confusion.
