Chapter 1652: Already Thought About It Back Then
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Unlike the day when he received the scholar’s letter, Village Chief Tao was smiling so widely that his eyes were narrowed into a line. It was obvious that he was happy to be a scholar in his old age.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had asked Shi Yuan to investigate this matter because they felt that there was a possibility of getting to the bottom of it. Now that it had been found out, the two of them were not surprised that he became a scholar.
After congratulating Village Chief Tao, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan heard that Tao Zhen had been granted the qualification to participate in the imperial examination by Shi Yuan and it was not required for him to enter an Academy at all. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not surprised by this.
Previously, they had specifically mentioned Tao Zhen to Shi Yuan. Shi Yuan himself had a good impression of Tao Zhen and felt that Tao Zhen was a smart person.
Shi Yuan might have had plans for this man way before they needed to mention anything to him.
He also heard from the people of Stone Village that the Treasure Bank was opened by the national treasury, which meant that the Emperor was behind it. The reputation of Treasure Bank skyrocketed.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had long known that Treasure Bank was opened by Shi Che with money from the national treasury and that Shi Che and the national treasury were backed by Shi Yuan, so they were naturally not surprised.
“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, quick, look! This is my wife. Shoushou insisted on the matchmaker finding her for me.” Zhang Dazhu squeezed in and pushed his new wife, who he had married last month. He smiled so widely that his eyes could not be seen.
.comAlthough Zhang Dazhu was in his thirties, his new wife looked like she was only in her early twenties. Although she looked ordinary, her hands were full of calluses. She was a hardworking person.
This woman married from another village, so she was very thin-skinned. She lowered her head and tried her best to shrink behind Zhang Dazhu.
Before Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could speak, someone said, “Shoushou has made a name for himself now. He uses carriages to carry passengers and goods in town. He can earn quite a lot in a day.”
Someone even said to Zhang Dazhu, “Dazhu, Shoushou has used the money he earned to marry you off. When are you going to help Shoushou?”
“Shoushou said that I should book it for him in two years.” Zhang Dazhu smiled!
“That’s good. At least you won’t have to worry that he doesn’t have a wife.” an auntie said.
“That’s right, that’s right.” Many people echoed.
Suddenly, someone asked, “Where’s Shoushou? You’re here. Why isn’t he here? Has he already left town so early?”
“Not yet.” Zhang Dazhu chuckled. “Last night’s food was a little sour, and I told him not to eat it. He couldn’t bear to throw it away, so he had diarrhea this morning. He stayed in the toilet the whole night. He heard the news that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were here, so he shouted for my wife and I to come first.”
Before he finished his sentence, Zhang Shoushou rushed over like a gorilla and squeezed in. He happily told Jiang Yue and Xue Yan about some interesting things that happened. Like when he used the carriage to carry passengers and goods in town. He looked to be in high spirits and he expressively spoke..
The other people in the village were also talking to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan. They were talking about national affairs, and they were talking about buying chickens and laying eggs. All of them were in high spirits and their faces were glowing.
Even Tao Zhen, who was dressed like a scholar, looked more spirited.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at everyone. Even if they didn’t come often in the future, everyone would be better off in the future even without them needing to meddle.
…
After returning from Da Chen, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to bed.
However, Jiang Yue glanced at Xue Yan before closing her eyes and going to sleep.
In the past, she had thought of persuading Xue Yan not to live forever for others, but to at least live for himself once.
