Chapter 130 Doubt

After Master Jia and the pair of sisters were driven away by Zhang, Zhou Ran took the angry Zhang away with a smile.

Ye Ximing calmed the emotions of everyone present, and then went to find Zhao Wu.
"Go and check for me what Mr. Jia's background is and whether he has any connection with the Pu family."

After hearing Ye Ximing's words, Zhao Wu raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Ximing, responded quietly, and turned around silently to investigate the matter.

In the room, Zhou Ran said to Ms. Zhang, "Mom, thank you. You were so majestic just now."

Madam Zhang waved her hand and said to Zhou Ran, "Why are you so polite to me?"

After saying that, Mrs. Zhang assured Zhou Ran: "Aran, don't worry, our Ye family has no rules about taking concubines. If Sanlang takes a concubine, his legs will be broken."

Ye Ximing paused before stepping into the door, and said helplessly: "Mother..."

Mrs. Zhang glared at Ye Ximing and said angrily: "What kind of mother are you? It's useless to call me mother. Remember, your life was saved by A'ran. If it hadn't been for A'ran, you wouldn't have succeeded in studying." It’s not certain whether we can still live now. Our family can live a good life now because of A-ran. If you dare to be like the scholar in the play, ungrateful, I’m sorry A-ran, I will break your legs.”

After Ms. Zhang warned Ye Ximing, she got up and left. Only Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran were left in the room.

Ye Ximing looked at Zhou Ran with a smile on his face and said with aggrieved expression: "Madam, you don't even speak for me, you only know my husband's jokes."

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "Mother is supporting me, how can I tear down mother's stage and speak for you."

Hearing this, Ye Ximing sighed: "Oh, I am such a pitiful husband. Being pestered for no reason makes me heartbroken. My mother even scolded me, and she didn't help me either."

Zhou Ran was amused and said, "Okay, okay, I'll comfort you, so don't pretend to be pitiful."

Zhou Ran hugged Ye Ximing perfunctorily and was about to let go, but Ye Ximing held her tightly.

After hugging him for a while, Zhou Ran saw that Ye Ximing still didn't let go, so she pushed him gently and said, "Let go, you have to entertain guests, you can't stay in the house all the time."

Ye Ximing reluctantly let go of Zhou Ran, then looked at Zhou Ran and said seriously: "Aran, believe me, I only have you in my life and I will never take a concubine."

Zhou Ran nodded and said: "Okay, I believe you, go and treat the guests quickly."

Ye Ximing looked at Zhou Ran's expression and felt that Zhou Ran's words of belief were perfunctory. He wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he gave up. It doesn't matter if Zhou Ran doesn't believe her now, he will spend his whole life letting Zhou Ran know it. Believe in his feelings for her.

Watching Ye Ximing leave the house, the smile on Zhou Ran's face slowly faded. She believed in Ye Ximing's feelings for her at this time, and also believed that Ye Ximing at this time would never take a concubine, but she would never take a concubine in her life. Long, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future.

However, as long as Ye Ximing doesn't change his mind, she will never change his mind.

If Ye Ximing really wants to take a concubine in the future, then she will never live with Ye Ximing again.

The Ye family's flowing water banquet was held for three days in a row. After three days, the flowing water banquet ended. He also found out what Ye Ximing asked Zhao Wu to investigate.

Although he has nothing to do with the Pu family on the surface, Master Jia has a relatively close relationship with the Pu family behind the scenes. Master Jia's business has been able to grow in the past few years entirely because of the support from the Pu family.

After Zhao Wu finished telling what he had found out, he endured it again and again, but still couldn't hold it back. He asked Ye Ximing, "How did you guess that Mr. Jia was related to the Pu family?" Ye Ximing smiled and said: " Because Mr. Jia’s attitude is too strange.”

Although Mr. Jia didn't look much different from the other businessmen who wanted to befriend him because he won the election, he went a bit too far.

If Mr. Jia really just wanted to give him a beautiful concubine to befriend him, then under his clear rejection, Mr. Jia would not continue to pester her.

But Master Jia seemed to be forcing him to accept the sisters.

The most important thing is that he doesn't feel that he has won the prize. If he takes Xie Yuan away, there will be no movement in the Pu family.

Of course, it is also possible that Mr. Jia has confidence in the two sisters and feels that as long as he accepts the two sisters, the two sisters will be able to control and confuse him.

After Zhao Wu heard this, he didn't ask any more questions.

Neither Ye Ximing nor anyone in his family mentioned this matter, but he was more attentive to learning martial arts with Zhao Wu. He was also very cautious when going out every day, and almost always took Zhao Wu with him. Not only that, he also took the time to learn horse riding. I'm afraid that if they try to force people around me, I'll just hit them hard.

But for a long time after that, there was no movement from the Pu family. Ye Ximing inquired about it and found out that the situation in the DPRK and China might be too tense now. Yao Shoufu's lineage had already lost several officials, so Yao Shoufu asked his officials to take action in the near future. Be careful with your words and actions to avoid being caught by the emperor and implicate other people.

Pu Xiuwen is also from Yao Shoufu's faction. Although he is still a concubine in the Hanlin Academy, he is the son-in-law of He Hongyi, the Minister of Household Affairs. If anything happens to him, it will be He Hongyi who will be implicated.

Pu Xiuwen must have reminded the Pu family not to act rashly again.

More than two months passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the end of November.

The Shun Dynasty examination is held in February every year, and it takes about twenty days to travel from Nanxing County to Beijing.

Although it was not too late for Ye Ximing and the others to wait until New Year's Eve at home before going to Beijing, in order to prevent accidents, they decided to go to Beijing before the year.

Zhou Ran had previously considered letting Ye Ximing go to Beijing alone, but Ye Ximing's words later made her give up the idea.

If Ye Ximing goes to Beijing to take the Jinshi examination this time, there is a high possibility that she will stay in the capital directly. If she doesn't go to the capital with Ye Ximing now, she will still go to the capital in the future.

Therefore, Zhou Ran finally decided to accompany Ye Ximing to Beijing to take the exam.

Not only that, she also had to take Da Niu, A Hua and the others with her.

Ah Hua is indeed talented in embroidery, and she is also diligent. After a few months, the embroidery she has embroidered has already taken shape.

Da Niu's progress is faster. She is now very good at double-sided embroidery with different colors. Although she is a little worse than Zhou Ran, she is much better than others.

Zhou Ran then began to study double-sided and three-different embroidery with her.

Double-sided three-different embroidery was invented on the basis of double-sided different colors. It is characterized by the fact that the front and back of the embroidery have different stitches and colors. That is, the corresponding parts on the front and back have different patterns, stitching methods, and colors. It allows viewers to appreciate two completely different pieces of embroidery on one embroidery.

However, double-sided three-different embroidery is too difficult, and the two of them have not embroidered the finished product yet.
