Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

Then Chen Ping's voice replied: "It's me. May I ask what can I do for you?"

"I am a student going to Beijing to take the imperial examination. My name is Ye Zexuan. I am running out of money, so I want to ask the shopkeeper if the shop needs help."

After Ye Zexuan finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Ping's expression and continued, "I heard from my roommates that the study provides a place for students to study at a low price, so I came here rashly to ask. No wages are required, just a place to live and enough food to eat."

Ye Zexuan? Lin Wan was stunned when she heard this name in the room.

Ye Zexuan, the top scholar in the previous life?

In the yard, Chen Ping was a little entangled. According to his usual thinking, it was not a big deal to take someone in to work. But today, Lin Wan happened to be in the house, and he couldn't make a decision directly.

Just as I was struggling, Lin Wan came out.

As soon as Chen Ping saw her, he explained to Ye Zexuan: "This is the owner of Moxiangzhai."

Ye Zexuan hurriedly bowed to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan looked at him carefully, and saw that he was wearing a half-worn blue shirt and a headband of the same color. Although he looked down and out, his expression was clear. It was indeed Ye Zexuan, who was talented in writing, looked humble, but was upright in his heart.

She had a very deep impression of this person.

In his previous life, Shen Qinghe had tried to win him over many times after he became the top scorer in the imperial examination. Seeing that he came from a poor family, he even took the initiative to recommend him, but he didn't expect that he would turn them all down. Shen Qinghe thought that he didn't know how to appreciate a favor, and deliberately made things difficult for him many times.

But he was unexpectedly stubborn and insisted on his own opinion. No matter how he was oppressed, he would always demand justice. The current emperor saw his talent and put him in the Ministry of Personnel to supervise all officials.

If Shen Qinghe's position as prime minister was planned by Lin Wan, then Ye Zexuan's position as a first-rank official was achieved entirely by his own efforts.

No matter what, he will be a capable minister in the future!

"The spring exam is coming soon, Master Ye should focus on the exam." Lin Wan said with a smile, "I have always admired scholars. How about this, Master, you can just live in our backyard, and you don't need to work or anything, what do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Zexian shook his head and refused. "No merit, no reward. If you don't want me to work, I can't get the lady's favor for nothing. I am a scholar, how can I do such a thing to take advantage of others!"

Lin Wan looked at him speechlessly. It turned out that he was still the same stubborn person as in his previous life.

"How about this? Mr. Ye lives in this backyard, and I'll trouble you to organize the books in the store on weekdays. This way, you can help us and it won't be free for you. How do you think?"

"Besides, if you live in our study, it will also help improve the reputation of our store when you graduate from high school. Where are your books?"

Ye Zexian looked up at her, and seeing her sincere face, his heart was moved.

"Thank you ma'am!"

Seeing that he agreed, Lin Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had dealt with him a lot in her previous life and knew his temper. Otherwise, it would be really easy to get upset when talking to him!

Seeing that Chen Ping was arranging everything in the study very well, Lin Wan sat for a while and then went back.

Twenty carts of charcoal were delivered to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Li Suining was shocked when he received the news. The letter had just been sent, and the charcoal was delivered so quickly?

She went outside to check in person, and was stunned when she saw the twenty carts full of charcoal.

"Madam, my master said that if you need any more charcoal, just send someone to pass on the message. We can deliver it at any time, no matter how much." The servant in charge of delivering charcoal passed on the message.

Li Suining's lips trembled with excitement when she heard this. It was Lin Wan! Lin Wan solved her big problem so quickly.

From the time I sent the letter to now, in just half a day, twenty carts of charcoal were delivered to the capital despite the shortage of charcoal. Is this... is this the difference between people?

She nodded repeatedly, quickly asked the housekeeper to come over to pay for the charcoal, and also paid a reward of ten taels of silver from her own pocket to the person who came.

When she was pulling cartloads of charcoal back to the mansion, Cui Ning, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, who had received the news, came over with her men.

"Sister-in-law, where did you get the charcoal?" Cui Ning asked immediately when he saw the full bag of charcoal.

Li Suining was proud for once, he raised his head and chest and said with a smile: "It's nothing, you will naturally learn these things when you get married."

"Oh, I'll take care of the charcoal for the mansion from now on. Don't worry, there won't be a shortage."

After saying this, Cui Ning's face turned dark.

Isn't this just showing off? Showing off her ability!

He also mocked her for not being married yet and trying to seize power in the family.

Why didn’t I realize before that this chubby sister-in-law could be so irritating!

Seeing Li Suining walk away with his eyebrows raised, Cui Ning scolded her maid: "How do you do things? Didn't you say that this charcoal fire is not available?"

"Miss, there is no family in the capital that doesn't lack charcoal these days. We use it up quickly in our mansion, and we need a lot. I really can't buy any."

"I can't buy it. I can't buy it. Where can she buy it? I have as many as you want!"

"I don't know... could it be that the General's Mansion is helping?"

"Humph! It's almost the same. You're still accusing me of stealing power from the family. But now that Li Suining is married, she still goes to her parents' home when she has problems, right?"

Cui Ning went back angrily. That night, Lu praised Li Suining in front of everyone in the mansion.

Li Suining solved the charcoal crisis in the mansion so quickly and found a sufficient supply of charcoal, which surprised Lu.

Li Suining had always performed averagely in terms of housekeeping. After all, Cui Ning was her biological daughter, so she couldn't help but give some advice in private sometimes. She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law was actually quite capable. She handled the matter so quickly and well. Even if she did it herself, it might not be resolved so quickly.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu decided that her daughter-in-law would be the main person in charge of the family affairs in the future. Cui Ning still needs to learn more so that she can get started as soon as possible when she goes to her husband's house.

Lin Wan received Li Suining's thank-you letter in the evening, and happily repeated a few words of Lu's praise for her and her sister-in-law Cui Ning's ugly expression.

After reading the letter, Lin Wan smiled and put it away.

Anyway, the charcoal she stockpiled had to be sold. As long as it could ensure that ordinary people could buy it when they needed it, it didn't matter who she sold the rest to. She could even earn a favor by selling it to Li Suining.

the next day.

When Lin Wan went to the Xiao family's courtyard to pay her respects, an invitation was just delivered in.

Meng Yucheng held a banquet in his villa in the evening and invited Lu Tingxu to attend.

Lin Wan looked at the post with gold stamping and powder, and the words on it were flying and dancing. It was indeed Meng Yucheng's note.

The servant who delivered the invitation also said that he had been staying at the manor of the Marquis's manor before and was grateful for the hospitality. So he specially held a banquet and invited several friends, and asked Master Lu to be sure to attend.

When Xiao heard the word "Zhuangzi", she immediately thought of Ye Shiyue who ran away with Meng Yucheng, and remembered what Lin Wan had said before, that it would be best to let Lu Tingxu witness Ye Shiyue's betrayal with his own eyes.

He accepted the letter and asked someone to deliver it to Lu Tingxu.
