After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 198 Help Apologize

"I'm his classmate. Is there any misunderstanding here? Let's talk it out. Don't use violence."

Ye Qing didn't need to say anything, the people around him explained the matter clearly in a few words.

The scholar who came later had an embarrassed look on his face. Just by hearing these few words, he felt that his classmate was looking for trouble.

"Brother Jia, is that so?"

"Brother Yang, that's not the case. It was this woman who stole my book a few days ago."

"Oh~"

The people around were excited. This was an acquaintance. Things had taken a turn for the worse and there was new news.

Ye Qing was so angry that he was about to explode, and he was still confusing right and wrong.

"Is it first come first served when buying things? I was in the bookstore, moving a pile of books and preparing to take a book. This person took advantage of his height and took the book first after me. The clerk in the bookstore saw it, but he still sold it to me in the end."

The scholar who came later continued to ask, "Do you have any evidence?"

"It's the most famous bookstore in the city. You can find out if you go and ask. Besides, everyone in the city knows that the bookstore is the most disciplined. If it's not mine, they will give it to me in the end."

The scholar was even more embarrassed, because if he had bought it in that bookstore, it really wouldn’t have been snatched away by the little girl.

"Brother Jia, this is just a misunderstanding. Apologize to them and go back quickly. The Master is still waiting for us."

The scholar looked at the only classmate he knew who was siding with her, and walked away angrily with his sleeves thrown.

The scholar who came later looked embarrassed. After apologizing for him, he went to chase the scholar named Jia.

"Sir, please stay. Thank you for speaking for us this time." Ye Qing bowed to him.

"Miss, this is nothing. I am here to help the right person, not the person. Bye." After saying that, he hurriedly chased after him.

The people around saw that the excitement had faded and left with the peaches they had bought.

Ye Qing and Ye Lao Da packed up their stall and went to the pharmacy. This time they went to the city mainly for the peppercorns.

The two went to the largest pharmacy in the city, which was honest and trustworthy and had a good reputation.

"Sir, please come in. I want to get your medicine or take your pulse." The waiter came out.

"We are here to see the shopkeeper. We have something that we want him to take a look at." Ye Qing spoke.

"Can I take a look first so I can tell the shopkeeper?" the waiter asked.

Sichuan peppercorns are not expensive, so it’s okay to show them to him.

"This is Sichuan peppercorns. I'll ask the chef to come over and take a look. Sir, please wait a moment. This kind of medicinal material is the chef's responsibility."

Ye Qing sighed that it was worthy of being the largest drugstore in Wu'an City. It was so knowledgeable that the shopkeeper didn't even need to show up to purchase peppercorns.

"You two are here to sell peppercorns." An old man with a white beard came over and asked.

"Hello, Master Chef. We are here to sell peppercorns. Please name a price."

"This peppercorn should have been harvested last year, and it costs two taels of silver per pound."

"Master, to be honest, we didn't have many peppercorns last year, so we want to find a market for this year's peppercorns."

The master chef was a little surprised. "The peppercorns you grow yourself, fresh and dried, will not be less than two taels of silver per pound."

Boss Ye was secretly delighted. There were dozens of pepper trees on the mountain and he could make a lot of money.

After knowing the price, the two went back satisfied.

The two walked to the bookstore, "Dad, this is the person I met in this bookstore. She is unreasonable, not like a scholar, but more like a shrew."

After Ye Qing finished speaking, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Dad, look, is that the scholar who spoke for me?"

Boss Ye stretched his neck to look inside and saw the scholar talking to the shopkeeper. He also gave the shopkeeper a few books, and the shopkeeper handed him a purse.

"The bookstore still accepts books, how can that scholar sell books to the bookstore?"

Ye Qing thought of a possibility, "Maybe he will help copy books for the bookstore."

The two discussed for a few sentences and then saw the scholar leaving through the back door.

Ye Qing ran to the bookstore to inquire, "Boss, which academy is that scholar from? He helped us just now, but he didn't have time to apologize."

The shopkeeper still had an impression of Ye Qing. After all, there were not many girls who came alone to buy books.

"That student from Yueyang Academy in the city has good character and is very knowledgeable, but his family is poor."

"The shopkeeper is very familiar with him."

"He worked in our bookstore for several years, and he copied books quickly and well every time. He and his mother were the only ones in his family, and the money for his studies was earned by his mother's stitches."

"Will copying books affect his studies? It takes a lot of time." Ye Qing doesn't like writing, but he also knows that writing takes a lot of time.

"He can't even afford the tuition this year, so he's back home studying on his own."

It's a pity for Ye Qing. Seeing his strong character and clear vision, he should be able to achieve great things in the future.

Boss Ye felt it was a pity to hear this. Such a hard-working scholar had a poor family background that delayed his chance to take the imperial examination.

Ye Qing had an idea in his mind, so he asked the shopkeeper again, "Do you know where he lives and what to call him?"

The shopkeeper knew his address and his name, Yang Qingyun, and told Ye Qing in detail.

Ye Qing took Boss Ye to Yueyang Academy and asked the vendors at the door about Yang Qingyun in a subtle way.

Those who have been doing business at the door for a long time all have an impression of the handsome scholar. They all praise him for his outstanding talent and his knowledge of poetry and books.

Ye Qing talked to the vendor for a long time, asking questions about the scholar. Boss Ye was a little worried, thinking that his daughter was still so young, and she might have fallen in love with him.

Just now at the market, it would have been better to beat up the person who was looking for trouble rather than let Yang Qingyun show off in front of his daughter.

After Ye Qing found out everything, he bought some snacks and followed Boss Ye home.

"Qingya, why are you asking about Yang Qingyun?" Boss Ye asked casually.

Ye Qing didn't think much about it, "Yang Qingyun is a good person, his family is poor, and he wants to make money. He is probably willing to go to the village to be a teacher."

Boss Ye didn't expect that his daughter was thinking about this. When he thought about it carefully, he found that it was true.

Yang Qingyun needs to earn money to study, their village needs a teacher, and he has a good character and personality, much better than some people whose background is unknown.

"I'll go back and talk to the head of the village. He's been talking about finding another teacher these past few days." Boss Ye is also very concerned about the children in the village.

The two returned home, had dinner, and then strolled to the village head's house.

The head of the village had just discussed with several elderly people in the village and decided to build a small courtyard for the new teacher to live in.

I heard Boss Ye and his daughter recommending a new teacher, and they immediately decided to give him the same treatment as Master Gu.

The village head heard that he had not yet told Yang Qingyun about this matter, and he was anxious, "Boss, come with me to Mr. Yang's house tomorrow, I will go and invite him in person."

With the head of the village saying this, the matter was almost settled in the village. It all depended on whether Yang Qingyun agreed.

The two of them went out early in the morning, but Ye Qing did not go with them. She stayed at home helping Zhou make a quilt for her nephew so that he could use it directly after the baby was born.
