"Thank you Uncle Xu, I understand!"
"Well, that's good!" Shopkeeper Xu nodded and said, "Come with me."
Shopkeeper Xu was born as a commoner, and he didn't have the conditions to learn martial arts. His father sent him to the nearest grandfather Wang Xiucai to study and enlighten him.
After the age of fourteen, shopkeeper Xu learned simple arithmetic from Wang Xiucai's grandfather because of his literacy and hyphenation. He successfully joined a chamber of commerce as a clerk and worked hard for most of his life. He saved up and went back to Heitu City to open an inn.
Seeing that the grandson of his first enlightenment teacher was living in poverty, he has more or less taken care of Wang Xiucai over the years.
As for Ye Qingyan recruiting a female gentleman, why did Wang Xiucai come with her? That's simple, Wang Xiucai is not at ease...
Knocking on Qingyan's door, shopkeeper Xu said with a smile: "Girl, the person you want is here!"
Ye Qing glanced at the two people behind Shopkeeper Xu, and nodded to let them in.
Entering the living room, shopkeeper Xu sniffed it, and there was an elegant fragrance. He glanced at the strange incense burner with light smoke, and his eyes lit up.
"Sit down!"
Ye Qingyan's eyes skipped over to shopkeeper Xu, and that somewhat handsome man, and finally set her eyes on Chen Miao.
Chen Miao was about twenty years old, plainly dressed, but fair-skinned, with a gentle appearance and a generous demeanor. There was a touch of dust in her demeanor, but it was not so strong.
Maybe it was because Ye Qingyan's eyes were a little sharp, Chen Miao didn't dare to raise her head.
Chen Miao's knowledge is not bad, she can see that although Ye Qingyan is wearing a veil, she has a noble and extraordinary temperament, even if she is the son of the lord of Heitu City, she is far inferior to Ye Qingyan!
Moreover, as a beautiful woman, she can be sure that behind the veil is definitely a great beauty!
Don't ask her how she figured it out, Ye Qingyan raised her hands and feet, the strong self-confidence on her body can roughly confirm that she is not wearing a veil to hide her ugliness!
Shopkeeper Xu introduced the two of them, Ye Qingyan nodded lightly and said, "My surname is Ye!"
She didn't say her real name directly, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, but Ye Qingyan didn't care: "Chen Miao?"
"Is there anything I need to order, Miss Ye?"
"I need you to teach me how to read, ten days!"
Chen Miao said seriously: "Miss Ye, ten days is a little short, isn't it?"
"I have the basics, ten days is enough!" Ye Qingyan doesn't have much time to waste, "I need you to come to my place every day at six o'clock and leave at you o'clock every day, and have lunch with me. This is a deposit!"
Ye Qingyan stretched out her hand in front of Chen Miao, Chen Miao quickly went to pick it up, and ten gold coins fell into her hand.
During the day, Ye Qingyan exchanged a large sum of gold with shopkeeper Xu, which made shopkeeper Xu a lot of money.
Looking at the ten golden coins in his hand, Chen Miao's eyes lit up, like a money fan.
Even Wang Xiucai, who was next to him, took a deep breath and pinched his thigh with one hand, trying to keep himself calm.
For ordinary people, ten gold coins is a huge sum of money!
Wang Xiucai's family is poorer than ordinary civilian families.
"If you satisfy me after ten days, there will be more to come!"
Chen Miao replied seriously: "I will try my best!"
"Then go back and come back tomorrow morning!"
Early the next morning, Chen Miao knocked on the door of Ye Qingyan's room. Ye Qingyan opened the door, saw that it was Chen Miao, and asked with some doubts: "It's not time yet, is it?"
"I think it's better to go a little earlier!"
Chen Hao was a little speechless towards this woman, this was not just a little earlier, it was half an hour earlier!
Ye Qingyan glanced at the basket in her hand: "Come in!"
When Chen Miao closed the door, she saw Ye Qingyan put the veil on the table casually. When she saw Qingyan's face, her breath tightened. She understood why the other party kept wearing the veil!
The woman in front of her is definitely the most beautiful woman she has ever seen!
Even the top card in Heitu City is far inferior to her, especially in terms of temperament!
In the Red Moon Tower, the sisters, or the guests, occasionally discussed the issue of women's appearance.
There are also two types of beautiful women. The first is the beauty at first glance. When seeing them for the first time, most people will be amazed by them!
The second type is the second-sighted beauty, who does not look amazing at the first glance, but after a long time, you will find that she is beautiful!
As for Ye Qingyan, she should be that rare woman with dual attributes!
But what Chen Miao cared more about was her temperament.
Her eyes are really like the stars in the night sky, as if they are shining all the time.
Her eyes are calm and confident. Behind the calm and confident, there seems to be an inexplicable sadness and loss engraved into the bone marrow.
She has an elegant aura about her, and in this aura, there is also a hint of domineering domineering.
This temperament fascinated even a woman like Chen Miao.
"Does it look good!"
"nice!"
After saying this, Chen Miao immediately buried her head in embarrassment.
Today's face is so embarrassing!
"Drink tea!"
A cup of hot tea was handed over, and Chen Miao caught it immediately. The teacup was warm and not hot. She took a breath, and the faint tea fragrance lingered around her nose. Hot, she just moistened the tip of her tongue, a mellow tea fragrance!
good tea!
"What's that basket?"
"Book!"
It was only then that Chen Miao remembered why she came here today. Putting down the teacup, she lifted the gray cloth on the basket and took out the four books inside: "This is an enlightenment book specially compiled by my father-in-law. Almost all the commonly used words are on it!"
Qingyan took out an exquisite snack, arranged two tables in the living room side by side, and sat down next to Chen Miao: "Let's start!"
"good!"
As soon as she started teaching, Chen Miao completely understood why Ye Qingyan was so confident that she could learn to read within ten days.
Ye Qingyan's memory is very outstanding, plus she already has a foundation, as long as Chen Miao speaks it once, she can remember the words firmly, without having to study repeatedly to deepen and consolidate.
After Chen Miao discovered this, she immediately accelerated her learning speed!
It wasn't until Chen Miao's stomach made a gurgling sound that the two of them noticed that it was already noon before they knew it!
After studying all morning, Ye Qingyan has made rapid progress, and has mastered more than 300 words.
This speed made Chen Miao secretly speechless!
Ye Qingyan didn't want to show up, so she handed Chen Miao a piece of paper: "This is the menu, just hand it to the waiter!"
"OK!"
Not long after, Chen Miao entered Qingyan's room with a basket, and the smell of food came from inside!
Qingyan nodded, Chen Miao seemed to understand her meaning very well.
