The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

A few days later, the craftsman's workshop sent a freshly made thermostat. Ye Yuxiao and Ouyang Sheng were watching it with interest. The maid came to report it, and Mrs. Zhang Hu and Zhang Hanmo came to visit.

Ouyang Sheng opened and closed the small door on the thermostat and asked, "Zhang Hanmo, who was Jie Yuan of Liuzhou Prefecture ten years ago?"

Ye Yuxiao was surprised: "A Sheng, do you recognize him?"

"I don't recognize it, I've just heard about it." Ouyang Sheng said, "Ten years ago, Liuzhou Prefecture's Jieyuan was disqualified from the Jinshi Department because he offended the examiner. This matter caused a lot of fuss, and many people knew about it."

"Did he fail to pass the Jinshi examination because he offended the examiner?" Ye Yuxiao asked curiously, "But then he took the exam several times and failed to pass. Is it all because he offended the examiner?"

"Who knows, maybe the officials who have presided over the scientific examinations in these years are all former students of the examiner?" Ouyang Sheng didn't take this seriously and answered casually.

If this is really the reason, then Zhang Hanmo's points are really memorized. Ye Yuxiao shrugged, and ordered people to invite Zhang Hu and Zhang Hanmo in, and then ordered people to put away the incubator first.

Suddenly Zhang Hu and Zhang Hanmo entered the hall. Ouyang Sheng saw that Zhang Hanmo was gentle and elegant, and he had a good impression of him, so he invited him to the study with him.

Mrs. Zhang Hu was not a person who wanted to follow the influence of Panyan, but when her son caught the eye of King Yingchuan, she was happy in her heart and smiled all over her face.

Ye Yuxiao chatted with Zhang Hu for a few words and asked her, "How comfortable is Mrs. Zhang living in my small courtyard?"

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. The courtyard is really comfortable." Ms. Zhang Hu leaned over and said with a smile, "We came here today just for the courtyard to express our gratitude to the Princess." Although Xiaozhan said there was no need to thank you, she still felt that it was taking advantage of her. I felt uneasy if I didn't come to express my gratitude for Ye Yuxiao's advantage.

"Mrs. Zhang is so polite." Ye Yuxiao waved her hands and said jokingly, "I should thank you. Thank you for taking care of my business."

Zhang Hu stood up and saluted her solemnly: "If the princess hadn't been kind-hearted and allowed us to wait until Hanmo passed the Jinshi exam before settling the bill, how could we have lived in such a good house."

She promised the Zhang family and her son that she would pay the rent after Zhang Hanmo passed the Jinshi exam? when did it happen? Why didn't she know? Ye Yuxiao glanced at Xiao Zuan beside him, suppressed his surprise, and said to Mr. Zhang Hu with a normal expression: "Madam, hurry up and you're welcome. The rent is a trivial matter, as long as Mr. Zhang can prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

Mrs. Zhang Hu thanked her again and then sat down again.

The two chatted for a while. Ye Yuxiao was pregnant and in low spirits. Mrs. Zhang Hu noticed it and volunteered to go to the garden. Ye Yuxiao asked someone to take her there.

After Mr. Zhang Hu left, Ye Yuxiao leaned on the couch, looked at Xiao Zuan and smiled: "Wait until Mr. Zhang is admitted to Jinshi before settling the bill? Huh?"

Xiaozhan said coyly: "If slaves don't say this, they will definitely refuse to live there. They don't have much money. If they go elsewhere, they won't be able to rent a decent house."

Ye Yuxiao grabbed the feathers of the funny cat on the coffee table and poked her nose: "Who paid the rent? Don't tell me that the rent is owed, I don't believe it. If they really didn't pay the rent, Accountant Li will definitely Will come and tell me.”

Xiaozhan was poked by the feather and wanted to sneeze, so he quickly held it back: "It was my slave who paid the rent."

Ye Yuxiao retracted her feathers, and her gossip aroused: "Why do you want to do good things without telling the Zhang family? Do you have a crush on the Zhang family's young master?"

"No, no, no, no!" Xiao Zuan waved his hands hurriedly, "Princess, please don't talk nonsense. Mr. Zhang is a famous scholar, and servants can't reach him. I still have this self-knowledge."

"You mean, you do have a crush on Mr. Zhang, but you restrained yourself because of your status?" Ye Yuxiao put a feather against her chin and analyzed with interest.

Ancestor, let her and that feather go! Xiaozhan was anxious: "Princess, it doesn't matter if you tease me, but if Mr. Zhang hears this, he will definitely misunderstand me."

"It's too late." Ye Yuxiao pointed to the door with the feather, "I heard it already."

Xiaozhan looked back and saw that Zhang Hanmo was at the door. She was so angry that her face turned red, but Ye Yuxiao didn't say anything. She didn't dare to get up and hide, so she had to bury her head low, wishing she could bury it all the way to her chest.

Zhang Hanmo entered the door restrainedly and explained to Ye Yuxiao: "I just finished chatting with the prince, and I came to say goodbye to the princess. I never meant to eavesdrop..."

? ? Ye Yuxiao didn't expect that he would suddenly appear, which was a bit embarrassing. She touched her nose and discussed with Zhang Hanmo: "Just pretend you didn't hear anything just now, okay?"

It was the first time that Zhang Hanmo saw Ye Yuxiao's speaking style. He was a little confused and nodded blankly.

Ye Yuxiao smiled with satisfaction and said to Xiao Zuan: "Take Mr. Zhang to the side hall to sit for a while, wait for Mrs. Zhang to finish visiting the garden, let them have a meal, and then send them back."

Xiao Zuan agreed, got up from the ground, and took Zhang Hanmo to the side hall.

Zhang Hanmo entered the hall and was not in a hurry to take a seat. Instead, he looked at Xiao Zuan and said, "You——"

Xiao Zuan interrupted him in a hurry: "Mr. Zhang, please don't misunderstand me. I have no desire to covet you. Our princess is joking with you."

Zhang Hanmo shook his head: "What I want to say is about the rent."

The rent... Xiaozhan said: "I just want to help you, Mr. Zhang, don't take it to heart, just live there with peace of mind. Also, don't tell me that I have advanced the rent to you. Mrs. Zhang."

Zhang Hanmo thought for a while and said: "You sincerely help. If I insist on refusing, I will betray your kindness. But if you ask me to pay the rent in advance, I won't feel at ease living there. How about this? I'll give you a call." The IOU, the rent, treat it as something I owe you."

Xiaozhan felt that this was not necessary, but he was afraid that if she refused, Zhang Hanmo would really misunderstand that she was attracted to him, so he took pen, ink, paper and inkstone and asked Zhang Hanmo to write the IOU on the spot.

She put the IOU away and turned to leave, but Zhang Hanmo stopped her.

"Master Zhang, is there anything else?" Xiao Zuan turned around and asked.

Zhang Hanmo looked at her for a while and then said: "So, you are the one who wants to help me; you are the one who thinks persistence is a rare and valuable quality?"

Xiaozhan blushed unconsciously: "Yes, it's a slave. The princess didn't know it. She was worried that you would refuse to help, so she lied to you."

So, the person who appreciates him is not Princess Yingchuan, but her? Zhang Hanmo opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start. After a long while, he only managed to say: "I will definitely pay you back."

"Hey, money is something external to the body, and the silver is of no use if I leave it with me." Xiaozhan waved to him nonchalantly and turned around.

Actually, what he wanted to say was not this... Zhang Hanmo looked at the direction Xiao Zuan left for a long, long time.
