Chapter 77 Tell the truth
Wei Yan was slightly relieved after listening to Zhou Ran's words, but not long after he relaxed, he brought it up again, because during the dinner, Ye Ximing accidentally mentioned that her mother had fallen in love with a scholar named Hong and wanted to marry Ye Xiaomei. give him.

Ye Ximing noticed the expression on Wei Yan's face and said with a smile: "I heard that he is also a student of Qingshan Academy, but I have no impression of him. Which of you two knows him? What is he like?"

Hearing this, Cao Bingwen smiled and said, "Brother Ye, you have to ask Brother Wei. He is well-known in the academy and is very popular. He can talk to anyone."

So, Ye Ximing looked at Wei Yan again: "Brother Wei, have you heard of this person?"

Wei Yanqiang smiled and shook his head, "I don't know this person either, but I can help Brother Ye find out later."

"Then I'll trouble Brother Wei." After Ye Ximing finished speaking, he stopped mentioning the matter and turned the topic to knowledge.

Ye Ximing was originally good at learning when he was in the academy. He ranked among the best in every academy exam. Although he rested at home for more than a year due to illness, he did not completely put down his books this year. Recently, he studied with Mr. Zou. In terms of knowledge, he It has improved a lot.

After Cao Bingwen chatted with Ye Ximing for a while, he realized the gap between himself and Ye Ximing. He sighed and said with disappointment: "I really can't compare to Brother Ye. No wonder Brother Ye can become Mr. Zou's disciple, but I can't even take the provincial examination." Can fail."

Ye Ximing comforted him and said: "Brother Cao just performed abnormally last time. With brother Cao's knowledge, he will definitely be on the list next time."

"I hope so." After Cao Bingwen responded in a low voice, he adjusted his mood and said to Ye Ximing with a smile: "Brother Wei and I are not blessed to have Mr. Zou to teach us, but I gained something from discussing the article with Brother Ye today. Quite a few, I wonder if I can come and consult with Brother Ye a few more times in the future?"

After saying that, Cao Bingwen seemed to feel that his words were a bit presumptuous, and quickly made up for it: "If Brother Ye is too busy and it's inconvenient, just treat it as if I didn't say it."

Ye Ximing shook his head and said with a smile: "What's the inconvenience? Brother Cao and Brother Wei can come over at any time if they have time."

"With Brother Ye's words, Brother Wei and I will have to come to disturb you more often in the future." After Cao Bingwen finished speaking, he looked at Wei Yan, "Don't you think so, Brother Wei?"

Wei Yan, who hadn't really listened to them at all, was suddenly asked. He was stunned for a moment, nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Brother Cao is right."

Cao Bingwen glanced at Wei Yan strangely and said, "Brother Wei, why are you so absent-minded?"

Wei Yan glanced at Ye Ximing and saw that Ye Ximing was also staring at him with curiosity. He twitched the corner of his mouth, calmed down and said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about the new article my uncle assigned me."

"I see." Cao Bingwen nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Wei's articles have indeed improved a lot during this period. Dean Meng is really attentive to you. If this continues, Wei will be the next provincial examination." Brother will definitely be able to compete."

Wei Yan smiled and said, "It would be great if that's the case."

Ye Ximing's talent and learning are amazing, and now that Mr. Zou is his teacher, it is very possible that he will be a Jinshi in the future, not only to promote people, but also to be a Jinshi. If he is just a little scholar who does not seek to improve, how can he be worthy of his sister.

This is also the reason why he studied hard with his uncle during this period.

He originally wanted to be better before mentioning this to Ye Ximing, but he didn't expect that the Ye family would have a son-in-law candidate so soon.

Although Wei Yan was full of hostility towards the scholar named Hong Zhi mentioned by Ye Ximing, he was afraid of prolonging the marriage, so the Ye family immediately decided on the marriage. So after going to the academy the next day, he immediately went to the academy with someone he knew. I asked about Hong Zhi.

After inquiring, Wei Yan was relieved again. After school in the afternoon, he went to Ye Ximing's yard.

After he knocked on the door, it was Ye Xiaomei who opened the door for him. Ye Xiaomei was grateful to Wei Yan for inviting Dr. Lu from Yu'an Mansion for Ye Ximing. After seeing Wei Yan, she invited him in with a smile.

Wei Yan looked at the delicate and pretty girl in front of him and opened his mouth to say something, but after opening his mouth several times, he chose to remain silent.

Wei Yan nodded to Ye Xiaomei and went straight to see Ye Ximing.

"Brother Wei?" Ye Ximing deliberately showed a surprised expression after seeing Wei Yan.

Wei Yan coughed dryly, touched his nose uncomfortably, and said: "Brother Ye, didn't you ask me to help you find out about Hong Zhi? I was afraid of missing something, so I asked people when I went there today. This Hong Zhi is really not very good. Sample."

"Oh?" Ye Ximing raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Wei, can you explain it in detail?"

"Hong Zhi started his education at the age of seven. He is already seventeen this year. He has been studying for ten years and is still a little boy. Moreover, he is at the bottom of every monthly exam in the academy. He is really not worthy of my little sister."

After hearing this, Ye Ximing pondered for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't have talent in reading. We mainly consider his character and see if he can be good to his little sister after getting married and whether he can protect her. Has Brother Wei found out about others? How is your character? Can you treat your little sister well after you get married?"

Wei Yan was a little anxious, "How can it be nothing? He has no ability. Should I let my little sister suffer with him in the future?"

Ye Ximing said: "The Hong family's family background is pretty good. Besides, Hong Zhi is a boy who can read and write. As long as he has good character, how can he starve his little sister after getting married? Besides, our family is originally a farmer. I don’t have such high requirements for my little sister’s future husband, as long as he treats her well and protects her from being bullied in the future.”

Wei Yan blurted out, "Then I can do it too. Aren't I better than Hong Zhi?"

"Huh?" Ye Ximing made a confused voice.

After the words were spoken, Wei Yan stopped hiding them. He blushed and said to Ye Ximing, "Brother Ye, I have been in love with your sister for a long time, and I hope to marry you."

Seeing that Ye Ximing was silent, Wei Yan said anxiously: "Brother Ye, we have known each other for so long, and you know who I am. Although I am not good at studying, my family has some wealth. If my little sister can marry me, I will definitely be good to her in the future and protect her from anyone bullying him."

Ye Ximing was silent for a while, and then spoke in Wei Yan's uneasy and expectant eyes: "Can you make the decision on your marriage?"

Wei Yan nodded heavily, "Yes, my father and mother have been urging me to get married. If I tell them that I am willing to get married, they will definitely agree and will never object."

"Then wait until you go home and ask your parents for their opinion. I will also talk to them." Ye Ximing said.

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to my parents right now." After Wei Yan said this, he couldn't wait to run back home.
