An Yu's willingness to marry Wei Xuemei does not mean that she is willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law, nor does it mean that she will obediently welcome Wei Xuemei to marry her. Therefore, when the guard asked her to move into the guard's mansion, she decisively refused. Moving into the Wei Mansion would be much more troublesome. In fact, if he wanted to put aside this troublesome matter, An Yu could tell him that he was actually a woman. However, if his true identity was doubted, the guard would definitely not let it go. At least with his ability, he would not let her leave Wuzhou safely.
When An Yu returned to Bafangju Inn, it was already nightfall. To find Wei Xuemei's sweetheart, she could only take action the next day. Because she was thinking about things, she had been tossing and turning, and only fell into a drowsy sleep near dawn.
When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
There are many private schools in Wuzhou city, but among these many private schools, one is relatively remote. It is located in a farmhouse in the northern suburbs. It is surrounded by ordinary people living here, and the folk customs are relatively simple. The sweetheart Wei Xuemei mentioned was none other than the master from the private school here.
The moss-covered road was as clean as water, and the small courtyard gate stood like a guard waiting for the family. The private school is in a courtyard, and the houses are all made of wood. The eaves are slightly tilted to both sides, like a swallow spreading its wings and about to fly.
"Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhou Wu Wang Zheng..."
"Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhou Wu Wang Zheng..."
Before he even got close, the sound of reading could be heard. An Yu stopped and looked inside. It turned out that the sound was coming from the hall in the middle. The hall is thirty square meters in size. Although there are more than a dozen students sitting in it, it still looks very spacious. The students all sat facing forward, and walking between the tables was a man with a weak crown. He held a book in his hand and led a dozen students of different ages to read.
When he was in Su Mansion, An Yu read some teaching books of this era, which were similar to what students learned in Chinese history. They were all "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", Four Books, Five Classics and Six Arts, etc., and the contents were also similar. ten. As soon as he heard the sound of reading coming from this low farmhouse, An Yu immediately felt at home.
"Master, I need to pee!"
"... go ahead."
Then a small figure jumped out from inside, and An Yu quickly stepped aside.
"Ah!" A child's scream attracted the attention of people inside the house, who all looked outside the door.
"who are you?"
An Yu helped the frightened child up. She raised her head and replied, "I'm here, An Yu."
The man standing in the door was wearing gray clothes that had been washed white, and he was tall and tall. He was looking at An Yu with a puzzled expression. There were several small figures crowded behind him, looking at her curiously.
"What are you doing here?"
An Yu smiled softly, straightened up, and said leisurely, "I'm here to see you."
The man's long eyebrows frowned slightly, and the hand holding the book was turned away: "What are you looking for?"
An Yu paused, glanced at the students behind him, and said with slight hesitation: "Brother, can I talk to you at the next time?"
The man lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then nodded. As soon as he turned around, the figures behind him jumped back to their original positions like fish, sitting upright, as if they were not the ones who had been crowding behind him just now.
"You continue to recite the book I just taught you. Don't make any noise or run outside to play. Do you hear me?"
"heard it-"
In the protracted tones of the children, the man led An Yu to the room on the right side of the courtyard. On the right side of the room are two rows of bookshelves. There are all kinds of books in the bookshelves. Next to the bookshelves is a simple wooden bed with neatly folded bedding. Next is the writing desk. The four treasures of the study are placed on the writing desk. The edge of the inkstone is clean and smooth. You can tell at a glance that it is frequently used.
Although the room is simple, it makes people feel very comfortable. The man moved a stool and sat at the table with An Yu. She retracted her scrutinizing gaze, took out a letter from her body, and handed it into his hand.
When the man saw the words on the letter clearly, his expression changed drastically. He quickly glanced at An Yu, only to find that her expression was as usual. After calming down for a moment, he asked, "Is this...?"
"Miss Wei, I must give this letter to you. Yesterday she asked for a bride..." She quietly raised her head and looked at the man sitting opposite her, and saw that his face changed slightly, and his eyebrows twisted into a "Chuan" shape. , she sighed in her heart, "When she threw the hydrangea, I caught it by mistake."
After her words fell for a long time, he did not make a sound, and there was only silence in the room. Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, An Yu coughed lightly and explained: "Miss Wei has explained to me what happened between you and him. I was touched by her deep love for you and wanted to help the two of you get together forever. I just hope Mr. Shen won't misunderstand. , I will definitely help you two, I just need to know your determination."
Wei Xuemei's sweetheart's surname is Shen, and her name is Shen. Although his skin is dark, his facial features are very straight. His eyes are bright under his thick eyebrows, and he looks loyal and solid. Hearing An Yu's words, he looked worried, as if he had something to hide.
"She must have been forced by her father. If I hadn't been useless, how could we have gotten to this point?"
An Yu smiled, shook his head and said, "I have heard from Miss Wei about Brother Shen's matter. The matter between the Wei family and the Shen family cannot be resolved overnight. Besides, you can set up a private school on your own. , you are no longer a useless scholar. Now I am afraid that even if you come from a well-off family, it will be difficult for you to get noticed by the guard, let alone become his son-in-law. "
"What Brother An said is absolutely true. My Shen family and Wei family are indeed feuding, but those are all in the past. Alas! Who would have thought that Xuemei and I..."
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a way."
Shen Shuyong's grandfather and Wei Xuemei's grandfather were not only good classmates, but also because the two families were family friends, they also grew up together. In Wuzhou City, the two played and played when they were young, and when they grew up, they guided the country. And they entered the palace examination together. When they entered the capital, they were invited to go together. However, after the red list was announced, Shen Shuyong's grandfather ranked at the top, but Wei Xuemei's grandfather fell off the list. Wei Xuemei's grandfather said goodbye to his classmates in frustration and embarked on the road back to his hometown in Wuzhou.
Three years later, Shen Shuyong's grandfather happened to be transferred to Wuzhou to serve. The former classmates met again, but they were all different.
After Wei Xuemei's grandfather returned to Wuzhou, he joined the business and started a medicinal materials business. Since ancient times, there has been a subtle relationship between officials and businessmen, and both are involved in each other. And Wei Xuemei's grandfather saw that his friend was transferred to Wuzhou. How could he let go of such a good opportunity
Wuzhou is an important transportation town between Nanqi and Zhongyou, and many drug dealers are gathered here. However, the medicinal materials in Zhongyou are very limited, and the competition among drug dealers is becoming increasingly fierce. As a result, drug dealers introduced a supervisor to manage it, but who it was became a headache again. Pharmacists are mainly divided into two factions, including the Wei family.
Wei Family and another drug dealer are evenly matched and have been competing with each other for a long time. The Wei family's business has been handed over to Wei Xuemei's grandfather. In order to sit at the top of the business group in Wuzhou, he wanted to ask his classmates for help. Unexpectedly, Shen Shuyong's grandfather did not hesitate after hearing this. The ground refused.
It turns out that Wei Xuemei's grandfather wanted to use his power to force Zhongyou Herb Farmers to sell herbal medicines to his shop. This selfish approach made Shen Shuyong's grandfather very angry. Not only did the two fail to reach an agreement, but they also had a big quarrel. Since then, the relationship between the two families has become tense. After that, although Wei Xuemei's grandfather still took this position, the relationship between the two families no longer improved. To this day, Shen Shuyong and Wei Xuemei have no contact with each other.
Shen Shuyong comes from a scholarly family, but Wei Xuemei comes from a drug dealer family. One family is gradually declining, while the other is gradually prospering. This had to make An Yu sigh for a while. Things in the world are confusing. Shen Shuyong's grandfather was so upright, but his methods were too harsh. Wei Xuemei's grandfather was greedy for wealth and opportunistic. When the two of them got together, you couldn't see me. I'm used to it. I see you are unhappy too, so how can you not start a fight? If not, the descendants of these two people would not be in the current predicament.
"Master Shen, don't be too sad. Things are not as bad as you think."
Shen Shuyong sighed, nodded, and sat down: "Brother An, why don't you want to marry Xuemei?"
"Why do you think I should marry her?"
Shen Shu's tone paused and he said blankly: "She is the only daughter besides the guards. If you marry Xuemei, not only will the beauty be yours, but all the property of the Wei family will also be yours. Don't these things appeal to you? ?”
An Yu chuckled softly and shook his head: "Brother Shen likes Miss Wei, is it because of the Wei family's property?"
"Of course not!" Shen Shu denied firmly.
"Then why do you think I would marry Miss Wei against my will because of the Wei family's property?"
Shen Shuyong fell silent, and then said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'm judging a gentleman with a villain's heart."
"No problem."
An Yu glanced at the letter in his hand, was silent for a moment and said, "Don't you want to see what Miss Wei said?"
The letter was already wrinkled by him.
Shen Shuyong sighed and carefully opened the letter Wei Xuemei wrote to him. She didn't know what was written in the letter, but Shen Shuyong's face gradually became covered with a smile, just like Wei Xuemei's trance-like smile on the high platform. Now seeing the smile on his face, An Yu seemed to understand the smile in his heart, and became more determined to help the two of them.
She frowned, supported her chin with one hand, and tapped the fingertips of the other hand on the table carelessly: "Brother Shen, if you want to be with Miss Wei, you must first pass the guard outside. However, the guard outside now With such an attitude, even if you become a master, he will probably not agree to marry Miss Wei to you. Besides, I already promised to marry Miss Wei yesterday."
"What!" Shen Shuyong heard this and stood up, "You have already agreed to marry Xuemei?!"
