Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 186 - Definitely On The List

Thus , to Su Wan it was like she met with her comrade when she saw how excited the old scholar was .

It was only then did Yuan Jinze , remembered that there were people around him . He immediately straightened up and stuffed the vegetables he had in his arms in Yuan Bai \'s arms though his actions were really gentle and careful , as if he was afraid about crushing? the vegetables .

Yuan Bai narrowed his eyes at the vegetables and then looked up at his grandfather with an unhappy expression . \' Don\'t pretend anymore , you are not fooling anyone . I already know what exactly are you , a glutton !\' said Yuan Bai inwardly as he gritted? his teeth in dissatisfaction .

Yuan Jinze caught his grandson \'s resentful glare and immediately complained " why are you glaring at me like that ? Are you upset that I treat these vegetables more nicely than you is that it ? But you need to know that Food is God , are you a God ? Don\'t you remember what the emperor once said ? He said that \' on an empty stomach even the bravest knight cannot win a war \'? , everything that\'s related to food needs to be taken care off , we should be respectful towards? food . And should never disrespect or waste anything that is served on our plate , what\'s wrong if I treat these vegetables more kindly than I treat you ? You brat , you better go back in the carriage , or else you will ruin my mood - humph , such a petty kid !"Then without looking at his grandson , Yuan Jinze once again smiled elegantly at Su Wan " Little girl , why don\'t we do this ? I don\'t think it\'s reasonable for you set up a stall without backing in the town market . Sooner or later , you will be targeted- so why don\'t you start selling half of your vegetables to me first ? I can assure you that I am quite well known in the town , I can easily find you some patrons and they will buy vegetables from you directly , you don\'t even have to come to the town "

Actually , Headmaster Yuan was scheming . He was a bit upset seeing the empty baskets and the little amount of vegetables in his grandson \'s arms , their family was a big one even without his son who was at the capital . He himself had four sons , and except his eldest son who was in the capital his other sons lived with him , and so did their wives and children . Counting them alone equalled to a total of fifteen people , and if he included himself , his wife , his eldest son \'s wife , Yuan Bai and his sister - then total count reached nineteen people ! Nineteen !

With nineteen mouths in his family , how will this six or seven catty of vegetables be enough ? The dumplings cooked from this much vegetables wouldn\'t even fill the gaps of his teeth !

Yuan Jinze wasn\'t worried that he wouldn\'t be able to find patrons for the little girl in front of him . He had well established connections in the town as well as in the capital , if he wanted he could introduce so many patrons to Su Wan that the latter would have to mass produce the vegetables , in just a week !

Su Wan heard what the old scholar just said and nodded in understanding , the old man was right .Even though her maternal uncles had connections , in the end neither of them were officially - if she really offended someone with her temper , it was highly likely that she might be left with nothing . The elegant scholar looked well connected , and he had an air of nobleness about him , so she decided to give him some face and accepted his advice " if Esteemed gentleman thinks that our family won\'t be a burden then I will accept your generous offer , from now on I will let my husbands deliver vegetables to your house . Please leave your address and the amount of vegetables that you want "

Headmaster Yuan clearly heard Su Wan say \' husbands \' when she motioned to the two men who were standing beside her . And nodded with admiration , unlike the other young girls she was honest and her eyes had no impurities , her black eyes were moist and clear , like the inky black sky shimmering with stars at night . Thus , Headmaster Yuan was even more satisfied with her , he was old and there was nothing he haven\'t seen . He never thought of young girls being shared wife as shameful , after all everyone had their own predicaments who was he to judge but what he despised the most was being lied to , in his academy there were many young men who had shared wife , however those brats would always lie about their marriage and claim that they were single saying that the women? that came with them was their brother\'s wife not theirs - at that time neither the student nor his wife would say anything , the student won\'t because he didn\'t want to be looked down upon and the woman wouldn\'t say anything either because she was afraid of being considered shameless .

Headmaster Yuan couldn\'t understand what was shameless about it ? If you married three men at one time , its not like you didn\'t know about it , you did and you married them right ? Then what was there to be ashamed of ? Headmaster Yuan was a firm believer of that a person himself was responsible off facing the consequences of his choices .

Thus when the students completed their study and became officials , and leaving? their wife and the life of village behind . Before going ahead and getting married to a lady in the capital ,? Headmaster Yuan won\'t pity the wife of that particular student who came to the academy and created a scene . There was no way to find out about such a thing , it was the wife\'s own fault for being too embarrassed about claiming her status , if what she did it later on , did it before the student become an official then he could have helped her by destroying the path of becoming a scholar of that particular scholar . But they didn\'t , so how was he at fault ?

Headmaster Yuan thus was very impressed with Su Wan for saying out loud that she was a shared wife . He muttered good three times before telling his address to Lin Rui who wrote it down but just as Lin Rui finished writing he immediately stood up straight and bowed in front of scholar Yuan scaring him - if scholar Yuan wasn\'t worried about his graceful and elegant image he would have shouted shrilly .

" Headmaster Yuan forgive this one for not recognising you before " said Lin Rui as he cupped his head and kept his head bowed .

"you? ? Are you my student ?" Said Yuan Jinze blinking slightly , he wasn\'t surprised about meeting his student in the town . But what he was surprised at was - Lin Rui \'s beauty ! Yuan Jinze had taught a lot of young men but he had never seen such a cool , handsome and gentle temperament student in his academy . This young man - he made him remember his past , at one time he too was just this handsome and beautiful , ah !

Yuan Bai : Lie , Lie - keep on lying until your head explodes !

" No , No - I haven\'t have the opportunity to learn under Headmaster Yuan . " said Lin Rui politely though his face turned red a little , he still kept his demeanour firm " I just gave the exam for admission at your academy, I haven\'t got the results yet "

" Oh , you haven\'t got the results ? Don\'t worry , the teachers are still checking the essays of some students . Your result might come a little later on but it would surely be there by the end of this week " Headmaster Yuan \'s eyes glimmered as he stared at Lin Rui with interest , he was very clear of his academy\'s teachers checking method . The easiest and the most simplest exam copies were checked first so as to decide whom to keep and whom not to keep , and only after selecting the average to medium scholar - did the teachers in his academy started on the most peculiar and smart scholars .

So if , Lin Rui \'s results weren\'t? out yet - he was definitely on the list of being admitted in the academy !
