Farming in space: Nongmen Fufei is beautiful and sassy

Chapter 220

Thinking about it in her heart, Ye Zhen dropped the pen in her hand and looked at Ye Yubao who was waiting patiently.

Ye Yubao was holding a flat cloth bag in his hand, and he was not in a hurry, but was curiously looking at the paper in front of Ye Zhen, where some lines he could not understand were drawn with charcoal.

Ye Zhen was overjoyed: She now looks at Ye Yubao more and more pleasing to her eyes.

"What's the matter? I heard from Tianfeng that you have something to do with me?" Ye Zhen grabbed a wet handkerchief from the side to wipe her hands, and asked.

Ye Yubao smiled embarrassedly when he heard the words, and handed over the cloth bag in his hand: "I have no other intentions, just thinking that I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm studying in Hongye Academy and I'm fine now, I My father and mother have also repaired the house, and now they live in their own mud thatched house, my mother and my sister are now doing some needlework, and their lives are quite good..."

The cloth bag was opened in Ye Yubao's hands, revealing the colorful insoles inside: "I brought a few pairs of the insoles they bought, you and Ye Ying and Brother Lu can check if it fits, if the size is not suitable, you Tell me, and I'll find a suitable one. They embroidered quite a lot."

Ye Zhen looked at the insoles that were not badly crafted, and was stunned for a moment: She actually didn't like to use this kind of insoles, after all, she had already adapted to wearing socks over shoes before time travelling, so she didn't like this kind of insoles. Do not catch a cold.

But facing Ye Yubao's sincere eyes, Ye Zhen stopped for a while when she refused, and she asked curiously: "You brought the insole over here, don't your mother and your sister have any objections?"

You must know that Ye Erniang, Ye Yucui, and Ye Yuzhen have always had lumps in their hearts.

Would they be happy that the insoles that they embroidered with their own hands were used by their own boy as a favor, or given to someone they have never been convinced by?
Ye Yubao scratched his head, and said calmly: "My mother felt awkward at first, but after I explained a few words, they all agreed."

"Oh? How did you explain it?" Ye Zhen became even more curious.

"Let me tell you, if it were you who signed the divorce papers, would you still want the children of the relatives you didn't deal with to study in your own academy? My mother would stop talking." Ye Yubao was honest and told the truth.

Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and it would be a lie if she said she wasn't surprised: Although she let Ye Yubao enter Hongye Academy, she didn't expect him to repay her kindness.

But if the person I helped was a person who knew how to be grateful, at least it proved that I had a good eye and was very accurate in judging people.

This recognition made Ye Zhen feel happy. She took the insole from Ye Yubao's hand, picked up a book bought a few days ago from the nearby bookshelf, and handed it to Ye Yubao: "I will accept the insole you gave me." It's down, take this book back, I bought it for Ye Hong last time, but Ye Hong has already bought the same book himself, just in case you are here today, I will give it to you."

Ye Yubao wanted to decline: A book is not worth the same price as a few pairs of insoles. Books of this year, any slightly better ones cost a few taels of silver!

But when he saw the title of the book, his eyes lit up immediately: The History of Strange Objects in Mountains and Rivers.

Such books are included in the ranks of miscellaneous books, because they have nothing to do with scientific research, and there are not many people who usually transcribe them, and bookstores do not buy many, but the price is higher.

Because people who can afford such miscellaneous books are basically not short of money.

Many scholars only buy the necessary bibliographies for scientific examinations such as the Four Books and the Five Classics if their families are not very good.

Even when Ye Yubao's family opened a grocery store in the town, their finances were not too rich, and Ye Yubao usually did not dare to spend too much money. He occasionally bought a copy of this kind of miscellaneous books for a few taels of silver. I will feel distressed for a long time.

Seeing his refusal and welcome, Ye Zhen felt amused in her heart, and directly stuffed the book into Ye Yubao's arms, and said with a smile: "Reading more books is not harmful. In the future, the library building of the academy will be built." Yes, we will put a lot of books in it too, but it will take some time to build."

Ye Yubao grabbed the book and couldn't bear to let go, he could only look embarrassed: "Then... thank you..."

Originally, I just gave a few pairs of insoles worth a few taels of money, but now it's over, I was given a book worth a few taels of silver!
After all the calculations, I actually took advantage of it!

Ye Yubao blushed, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

When Ye Yubao returned home, Er Niuniang and Chunniang were still there. When they saw Ye Yubao come in, they all asked how he was doing.Did you give away the insole?

Ye Yubao took out the book from his arms and scratched his head in embarrassment: "She put away the insole and gave me a book after changing hands."

Ye Erniang's eyes lit up immediately, and she took the book over and read it from side to side, up and down, and asked while reading, "Is this the book for the imperial examination?"

Ye Yubao was afraid that Erniang Ye would break it, so she hurriedly snatched it back, hugged it in her arms, and complained, "Mother, be careful! This book is not for the imperial examination."

"What's the use of a book that isn't used for the imperial examination?" Ye Erniang immediately felt disgusted, and she was still thinking: Sure enough, the book given to her son is not useful, but it's just to make an excuse of "not taking advantage"!

Ye Yubao touched the cover of the book cherishingly, and explained in his mouth: "What do you know? This book is more expensive than the imperial examination! It costs several taels of silver! It is often not available!"

The people in the room were shocked immediately!Everyone's eyes widened, and Er Niu Niang couldn't wait to reach out and snatch it over to have a look. She looked at the book eagerly and said, "What are you talking about? How much is a book worth? What kind of extraordinary book is this?"

Ye Yubao then explained the difference between some miscellaneous books and the books for the imperial examination.

Ye Erniang was a little puzzled: "Son, Ye Zhen is not trying to make you read more miscellaneous books, so that you will delay the imperial examination in the future, right?"

Ye Yubao stomped his feet: "Mother, why do you always think that someone will harm your son? If it's a serious problem, just don't let me study, am I going to dig the ground with a hoe?! They even spent a few taels of money to harm you Son? Then you spend so much money to harm others?! Do you know that Ye Hong bought such a book and read it himself. This book was originally bought by Ye Zhen for Ye Hong to read, and Ye Hong bought it himself Same thing, I bought it twice, Ye Zhen said I gave it to me!"

Ye Erniang blushed suddenly, and explained embarrassingly: "I'm not knowledgeable..."

"You don't know much, you..." Just keep talking!

Ye Yubao was so anxious that he almost wanted to blame his mother again, but he was a scholar after all, so he didn't want to say anything too harsh, for fear that his mother would be hurt.
