Chapter 36： Shen Fuziyi

Chapter 36 Shen Fuziyi

“Yes, miss, I’ll go right now.”

Aunt Qiu carried the bag and headed to her room in the west wing.

"Miss, shopkeeper Wu of Yaxing is here, outside the door," Xiao Bo came to report.

So fast? Shopkeeper Wu's efficiency is really impressive.

“Invite him to the living room of the second courtyard, I will be there soon.”

Yu Wan glanced at the yard and saw that there was no suitable living room. It seemed that one would have to be built because people would inevitably come and go in the future.

She straightened her clothes a little and walked towards the second courtyard.

The second time we entered the courtyard, shopkeeper Wu was sitting in the living room drinking tea. Uncle Xiao and a young man were standing aside with an armful of things.

Yu Wan twitched and quickly entered the living room: "Shopkeeper Wu just needs a servant, why bother you to go there in person?"

Shopkeeper Wu asked the servant next to him to put the gifts on the table and said: "Hello, Miss Yu, it should be, it should be, this is a little thought from Wu, don't think it's shabby."

As he spoke, he took out three house deeds with big red stamps and Zhuangzi's field deeds, and handed them to Yu Wan together.

"Shopkeeper Wu, you're welcome. Please drink tea. I just have something to trouble you with."

Yu Wan carefully read the deed and found no problems, then threw it into the space.

Shopkeeper Wu sat down. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "Miss Yu, please speak."

"It's like this. You know that my restaurant is about to open. I have no shortage of people in the kitchen. I also want thirty people for other people. Twenty people who can run errands and do odd jobs will be enough, and ten people who can grow crops will be enough. Up on the farm The rice has been harvested, and wheat is about to be planted next year, and there is still no one in the village."

Yu Wan also stated her request.

Shopkeeper Wu immediately said: "Okay, Miss Yu can come to Yaxing tomorrow when she has time. If there is nothing else, Wu will leave first."

Yu Wan knew that Shopkeeper Wu must go back and prepare good people, and it might not be enough to meet her requirements at the same time.

“Okay, shopkeeper Wu, walk slowly, and Uncle Xiao will help me drop off the guests.”

Shaob: "Okay, miss".

“Then Wu will leave first and wait for Miss Yu to drive away.” Although the business of thirty people was not big, Shopkeeper Wu did not dare to neglect at all. This little ancestor might want to buy something tomorrow, so she must not offend her and handle her affairs beautifully.

Xiao Bo sent shopkeeper Wu away. Yu Wan had nothing to do in the afternoon. She wanted to visit Mr. Shen.

When she left, she happened to meet Uncle Xiao coming back: "Uncle Xiao, take the storage room sent by shopkeeper Wu and write down the details. I'll go out for a while."

Xiao Bo agreed: "Miss, do you want me to follow you personally?"

Yu Wan waved her hand. She was used to being free on her own, but she was not used to having a follower by her side, and it also affected her ability to do things.

Yu Wan took out another thousand taels of silver notes from the space (the banknotes recovered by shopkeeper Wu of the dental shop) and gave them to Uncle Xiao: "Uncle Xiao, if you have time this afternoon, buy a carriage and a bookcase for my room. The rest will be used as Expenses in the house, as well as changing the cards outside to Yufu."

Xiao Bo took the banknote and thought that this young master was not merciless at all when handling banknotes. He said: "Okay, miss, I will handle it right away."

Yu Wan nodded and walked out of the door.

She estimated that the time should be Wei Shi now, and Mr. Shen should still be teaching.

Mr. Shen's school is just a private school, but it is a higher level than the private school in the village. You can directly participate in the provincial examination in the name of his private school. This can be regarded as a special feature after he was demoted. His knowledge cannot be buried.

Yu Wan thought that it would be enough to take the provincial examination. Now Yu Haoran and his brothers have not yet entered the school. They have not passed the college examination. It is too early to say that the provincial examination is too early.

The scientific examination system here is the same as in ancient times. The college examination is held in June every year, and only those who are young students can participate in the rural examination held in the county or prefectural city every three years in August. After becoming a scholar after the provincial examination, you are eligible to participate in the examination held in Qincheng the following spring. The top twenty after the joint examination took part in the palace examination with questions personally set by the emperor, and were ranked first, second, and third.

Yu Wan quickened her pace and walked to Mr. Shen's private school. She wanted to meet this legendary wonder.

The house is not far from the private school. Turn left when you go out and it is the fifth house.

When Yu Wan arrived, she looked outside the house for a while. The house was half the size of hers, so it was probably just a second-indoor courtyard. Now that the door was closed, it was hard for her to knock on the door, as that would make her look rude.

Yu Wan looked around and saw a small tea shop opposite the private school. She stepped forward and went in. It's not big inside, the weather is still hot at this time, and there are several people eating refreshments.

She chose a seat by the window where she could see the main door of the private school and sat down. As soon as she sat down, the waiter came up and asked, "What would you like to drink, sir?"

Yu Wan: "A pot of tea and a plate of any pastries."

Waiter: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Yu Wan was listening to the chatting of the people inside. Those people should all be acquaintances, and they were all talking about which one is more beautiful, the wife of the boss and the daughter-in-law of the west family. Someone's oiran in the capital, someone's back house in the prefecture, someone's daughter in the county.

Yu Wan curled her lips. In ancient times, there was no Internet, so it was all spread by word of mouth. The gossips with those in the previous life were still lively.

“Sir, your tea and snacks,” the waiter came up quickly.

“If you need anything else, my dear guest, just call me. You can use it as you please.” The waiter positioned himself and stepped back.

Yu Wan nodded and thought to herself that the waiter was very qualified and she would need waiters like this in her restaurant from now on.

Yu Wan took a sip from the tea cup. Well, this tea is not bad, with a light tea aroma. The refreshment was good, it looked like mung bean cake. She picked up a piece and took a bite. Well, it was slightly sweet but not greasy, refreshing, and it melted away after a few bites.

Yu Wan didn’t expect that there was such delicious food here. She frowned, why didn’t so many people come to eat such delicious food?

Seeing that the waiter was free at the moment, she beckoned to him. She could buy these pastries and eat them, but she didn’t know if they would sell them.

“Young guest, I have your orders,” the waiter stepped forward.

“Little brother, I would like to ask if you can sell the tea snacks in your store. I want to buy some and eat them back. These pastries are so delicious.”

The waiter looked embarrassed and said, "I don't know about this. I've never sold it before. If you're not in a hurry, young guest, I'll ask Master Shen after school."

“Is it Mr. Shen’s shop?”

Yu Wan was a little surprised. This unworldly Mr. Shen opened a tea shop?

"Yes, but the pastries are made by my wife. Mrs. Shen brings them here every day. In the afternoon after school, she will come to the tea shop to sit and drink tea."

Master Shen really has a unique temperament. Since he is coming, Yu Wan naturally has to wait.

“Little brother, thank you, then I’ll wait for Master Shen.”

It just so happened that she didn’t know how to find Master Shen, so she couldn’t miss this opportunity. In the eyes of others, Master Shen may be just a master, but Yu Wan doesn't think so. How can he be a simple person who can achieve the position of a bachelor.
