The Brave Life of a Space Peasant Girl

Chapter 37 Master Shen II

Just talking about this tea shop, it can be seen that Master Shen is definitely a person with good taste, a leisurely life and not pedantic.

 Which person with a great academic background would sacrifice his dignity to open a tea shop?

 Still in this world where class status is clearly defined.

Yu Wan ate, drank and listened, and heard a few useful things.

The Daxing County Magistrate's surname is Ma. He was once a top three scholar and was considered to be very knowledgeable in the Great Yan Empire. His temperament is almost the same as Master Shen's, but he gets angry when he doesn't see anyone.

He is considered an old county magistrate here. He has never been promoted or demoted. He has been doing this for thirty years.

His political performance is mediocre, neither standing out nor lagging behind, just right.

Yu Wan smiled, this is really an interesting person. If you can be wise and keep yourself safe for thirty years in the officialdom, this person will live like a monkey and his ancestors.

After Yu Wan drank a pot of tea, the door of Master Shen's house finally opened, and several students came out, similar in age to Yu Haotian, and left carrying book boxes.

Yu Wan saw that the book box seemed to be made of bamboo, but fortunately it was not a wooden box.

Then came a spirited old man in his fifties, wearing a blue gown and wearing cloth shoes. His hair was tied into a bun with a wooden hairpin, and he had a gray beard. His slightly arrogant face was incompatible with his wise demeanor.

Yu Wan twitched her lips, what kind of contradictory person is this.

As soon as he entered the tea shop and sat at the table next to Yu Wan, he even glanced at Yu Wan curiously.

The waiter stepped forward and said, "Master, here are your tea and books."

"Puch", Yu Wan couldn't help but laugh. She was drinking tea and reading in the tea shop. Master Shen was so elegant.

 Master Shen frowned and glanced at Yu Wan: "The little girl laughs at the old man?"

Yu Wan turned around, facing Master Shen and nodded, "Master Shen is so elegant."

At this time, the waiter said to Master Shen: "Master, this young guest wants to buy some cakes. I don't know whether to sell them or not, so the young guest is waiting for you here."

 Master Shen looked at Yu Wan.

Yu Wan nodded: "I happened to pass by today and ate this mung bean cake that was very delicious. I want to take some back to my family to eat. Does Master Shen have any extra?"

Master Shen opened the book: "The little girl didn't tell the truth."

　　"Well, Mrs. Shen should go to the Ministry of Punishment. The little girl is really waiting for Mr. Shen." Yu Wan felt ashamed. Master Shen was in the wrong profession. In criminal investigations, there should be very few unjust, false and wrong cases.

“You have children at home who want to study? Tell me why you came to see me? Why did you come to see me?”

Master Shen didn’t even take a glance at Yu Wan, drinking tea and reading a book.

Yu Wan: Master Shen, are you okay with this?

Yu Wan: "There are four brothers in my family who want to study. They are not in the county. They have just learned how to read for a few days and want to come to Master Shen to study. The reason why they came to see Master Shen is to see what kind of person he is. I don't want to be a A master who misleads his disciples.”

"Oh?" Master Shen raised his head and looked at the little girl in front of him. This was a bit interesting coming from a little girl.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Little girl, what you said is very sad. Since ancient times, masters have always chosen their students, and no students have chosen their masters."

Yu Wan shook her head: "Master is wrong. It has been since ancient times. Where children study, they are not reading. The things in the books are dead, only the human brain is alive."

"Haha, how old are you little girl? You have a good brain. I guess your brothers are all from the same mother, right?" Master Shen put down the book in his hand. He had never seen anyone in his life who was better than this little girl. There is a lot of rice, this little girl is not simple, which makes him interested.

Yu Wan…

“Of course I am born from a mother, so I shouldn’t be annoying to my wife.”

“Have you chosen my wife?”

Yu Wan nodded: "Yes, Master did not get angry or curse."

Yu Wan does admire Master Shen a little, his magnanimity alone makes people feel inferior to him. The master's dignity cannot be challenged, and his knowledge cannot be questioned. This Master Shen is still calm and composed, worthy of being a bachelor.

There is another thing that people didn’t open their mouths to criticize her.

“Well, I’ll give it to you. I’ll take it from your brothers. You can come to me at any time. In addition, I can sell you today’s cakes.”

This girl is so interesting. It is the first time in decades of his life that he has met such an insightful girl. It's a pity that she is a girl. The imperial court does not look down on women.

Hey, I don’t want that terrible court!

“Uh, is it so easy?” Yu Wan blinked.

She immediately stood up and gave Master Shen a respectful salute: "Thank you, Master!"

 When the waiter brought the cakes, everyone was stunned. Is Mr. Shen so good-tempered and talkative today?

The weather is so sunny today!

 “Haha, thank you so much, I hope you don’t regret it.”

 After saying that, Master Shen left the teahouse with the book in his arms and went back.

 Well, what Master Shen said is so temperamental.

Yu Wan took the cakes, paid the money and left the tea shop. She took a look at Master Shen's house and returned to Yu Mansion.

Yu Wan returned to the room and put the cakes into the space.

“Miss, will dinner be delivered to you or should we go to the kitchen to eat it?” Aunt Qiu's voice sounded.

"No, I won't eat tonight." She ate at the tea shop all afternoon, and her stomach was swollen and round.

 The next day, Yu Wan finished running and practiced for an hour before letting Xiao Bo drive the carriage to Yaxing.

The carriage stopped at Fumanduo Yaxing. Yu Wan got off the car and entered Yaxing. When shopkeeper Wu saw her, he immediately greeted her with a smile: "Good morning, Miss Yu. We are ready."

Yu Wan nodded and followed Shopkeeper Wu into the backyard.

Many people were cooling off their clothes in the backyard, some were embroidering cloth, some were walking in the yard with nothing to do, and there were even children crying loudly.

Seeing shopkeeper Wu come in, they lined up consciously.

Yu Wan couldn’t help but lament that in this fucked-up society, people are sold and bought like animals, without any human rights at all. They probably don’t understand whether human rights are square or round.

Yu Wan finally picked forty people. She really couldn't stand the pitiful looks in their eyes, even though she was a Rakshasa who killed without blinking an eye.

Yu Wan paid the money and took the people to Xiao Bo, and then she walked around the city.

 She walked in the crowd and looked here and there, like a curious baby. This county town is indeed much more prosperous than the town. There is really everything you need for food, clothing, and necessities.

 Public security is also very good, with government officers patrolling with swords from time to time.

When Yu Wan passed by a grocery store, she stepped inside.

 “Sir, what do you need?”

The waiter saw Yu Wan coming in and hurried forward. He had been waiting for a long time and no customer came to the door. The first one who came in was a little girl.

“Let me take a look first,” Yu Wan looked along the shelves.

 The shelves are full of complete items, including porcelain, ceramics, even pots and pans.

Yu Wan moved to another shelf, which she didn't dare to be interested in either.

 “Huh? What is this?”

Yu Wan saw that the ground next to the shelf was filled with bags and wooden boxes.
