Chapter 8 The handyman of the Calligraphy and Painting Pavilion
After finishing her homework this morning, Ye Ziyan walked alone on the way back to the dormitory, but met an unexpected person. An arrogant teenage girl led several girls of the same age and stood not far in front of Ye Ziyan, as if waiting for someone.
The leader of this group of girls is Qi Yuqiong, who bullied Shao Yue'e that day. Ye Ziyan nodded slightly to several people, pretending that she didn't know and was ready to walk over.
"Are you Ye Ziyan, the granddaughter of Ye Zhangsi in Nanling City?" Qi Yuqiong seems to have known Ye Ziyan's identity for a long time, but she is still a little surprised.
"Senior sister, the head of Nanlingcheng Ye is my grandfather. I don't know how the senior sister knows?" Ye Ziyan stopped and replied with a smile.
"You are very forgetful. It seems that you have forgotten everything about the small garden last year!" Qi Yuqiong looked at Ye Ziyan with a sly face.
"Small garden..." Ye Ziyan seemed to be lost in thought and tried to find the memory in her mind.
"That's all. I'd better tell you directly, so that you don't want to think about it for a long time! I'm Qi Yuqiong, the granddaughter of Captain Qi Xinqi in Nanling City!" After saying that, Qi Yuqiong proudly raised her slightly beautiful head and looked into the air.
"It turned out to be Sister Qi. I'm stupid and rude." Ye Ziyan saluted Qi Yuqiong with respect.
"It's polite of you. Is the girl who offended me in the small garden that day your friend?" Qi Yuqiong turned her head with some contempt in her tone.
"Well, she is my classmate Shao Yue'e. She likes to make friends very much. She must have inadvertently offended Sister Qi. I hope Sister Qi can understand." Ye Ziyan still has a respectful expression.
"To make friends, don't look at your identity! You didn't tell Manager Pan that day, did you? Qi Yuqiong deliberately raised her tone a little.
"Sister Qi, you misunderstood. Manager Pan came to me that day, and we inadvertently walked to the small garden." Ye Ziyan replied calmly.
"It's not what Manager Pan said, and it's not your snitch. You should pay attention to your identity in the future and don't deal with those vulgar people, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for yourself. That's all I've told you. Let's go first!" Qi Yuqiong waved her hand, and the rest of them quickly followed.
"Senior Qi, take your time!" Looking at the distant backs of several people, Ye Ziyan guessed the matter. I thought that this Miss Qi Yuqiong had been worried about the small garden that day, so she wanted to find Qi Xin to let the Tianling Academy do more things for the students to do chores.
I think Shao Yue'e is also quite miserable. She has provoked such a domineering and arrogant master, but she can also hone her character, so that she will not be so irritable and cause more trouble in the future.
However, I must fight with this Miss Qi Yuqiong in the future. It must be because of my grandfather that I have been exempted from doing chores. I think this college is also a place of intrigue and intrigue.
Because Shao Yue'e spent a lot of leisure time doing chores, Ye Ziyan practiced various subjects alone. Redouble your efforts, and every subject should reach the best. Ye Ziyan constantly encourages herself to move forward!
In busy days, time flies. In a blink of an eye, Ye Ziyan is only two years away from graduation.
Ye Ziyan experienced junior college and intermediate college in Tianling College, and finally arrived at the senior college. Over the past ten years, Ye Ziyan has been practicing unremittingly. Even every day of the holiday, she practiced with Ye Xiang. She finally became one of the best in Tianling College. .
Qi Yuqiong graduated from Tianling Academy as early as a few years ago. Now she is the favorite concubine of the lord of Nanling City. Of course, today's lord is no longer the lord who forcibly married Meng Yurong, but his son.
However, Shao Yue'e still has not got rid of the fate of being a handyman, because the college thinks that being a handyman is a great exercise for students, and it should be vigorously advocated, which has stimulated the trend of being a handyman. Today, the handyman in Ling Academy is basically done by students.
Ye Ziyan also knew the real purpose of Ye Tai sending herself to Tianling Academy, but she did not blame Ye Tai. Since the death of his mother and the disappearance of his father, the Ye family has been gradually declining. Now, Ye Fu, Li Hong and other loyal servants are the only servants of the Ye family, and the others have left Ye's house one after another.
If it hadn't been for Meng Yurong's unknown means, she had always been favored by the former lord of Nanling City, and the Meng family and the Li family were friends, otherwise the Ye family would not have existed in Nanling City long ago.
Ye Ziyan usually doesn't care about these things on the surface, but she can see everything clearly in her heart. Through these years of unremitting efforts, Ye Ziyan has developed an independent and resolute personality. She has her own arrogance and persistence. She can't allow herself to achieve the goal of strengthening the Ye family by marrying others.
In the calligraphy and painting pavilion, the wooden plaque in front of us is inlaid with three powerful golden characters, revealing an unobstructible king style. It is said that this plaque was the year when Tianling Academy was founded. The lord of Tianling City personally took it up. The Academy has always regarded this plaque as a treasure.
"Who am I? It turns out that it's your girl again." The speaker is a woman in her forties, with a plump body and a gentle face. She is the nurse of the calligraphy and painting pavilion, Mrs. Han.
"Mrs. Han, it's me." Ye Ziyan took out her waist card with a smile and handed it to Mrs. Han.
"Do you want to borrow a few more books to read at home during the holiday?" Ye Ziyan is obviously a "fasual customer" of the Calligraphy and Painting Pavilion. Mrs. Han accepted Ye Ziyan's waist card and asked with a smile.
"I'm going to borrow a few books, but I'm here today to sort out the old books. I'm sorry to trouble you." Ye Ziyan smiled and looked well-behaved.
"Organize old books? Isn't that Shao's work these days? Why are you here? Mrs. Han looked puzzled.
"She has been sick these days, and someone from her family took her home. I'll sort it out for her. After that, I'll go home. Please ask Mrs. Han to take me to the old library!" Ye Ziyan is still smiling.
After saying that, Ye Ziyan took Mrs. Han's arm, and the two went to the old library while chatting. Well, this is the old book room, but this time the task is very heavy. The college has sorted out all the old books since the opening of the college, and you need to sort out these books according to your homework. After saying that, Mrs. Han looked a little worried, as if she was worried that Ye Ziyan could not finish the work.
"Well, Mrs. Han, you don't have to worry about it. I'll get it done as soon as possible." Ye Ziyan smiled calmly and looked confident.
"You girl, this is the key to the side door. Take it with you. After tidying it up, come to my yard and return the key to me, and then go home early!" Mrs. Han took out a key and handed it to Ye Ziyan.
"After I finish sorting it out, Mrs. Han will come and check it!" Ye Ziyan looked at the key in Mrs. Han's hand and hesitated.
"Oh, just take it. I'm not sure about you girl. Remember to take good care of yourself these days and don't just work!" Mrs. Han gave the key to Ye Ziyan and left the old bookstore in a few steps.
Ye Ziyan looked at Mrs. Han's back, put away the key away, looked at the mountains of old books in front of her, and divided several areas to store books of different subjects.
It should be inherited from Ye Tai's habit of painting and calligraphy. Ye Ziyan also loves calligraphy and painting very much. When she sees the book, she can't help but want to open it. If it were someone else, they would frown at this pile of books, but Ye Ziyan smiled happily.
Four or five days later, Ye Ziyan sorted out all the old books in the old bookstore. After preparing to clean the old bookstore, she went to Mrs. Han for business.
When passing under a bookshelf, the careful Ye Ziyan found that an unsightly book that had been covered with dust was pressed under the bookshelf, so she stopped, moved down the bookshelf, picked up the book on the ground, swept away the dust on it, and looked through it for a while. Ye Ziyan's mood tumbled and looked at the one in her hand. This old book is lost in thought.
This old book in Ye Ziyan's hand is very similar to Ye's heirloom book. Both the brushwork and tone are exactly the same, and it seems to be from the same person.
The heirloom book in Ye's house was handed down by a generation of ancestors of the Ye family. It is said to be given by a master. According to the master, it can be read by those who have wisdom roots. If the person who reads it is extremely blessed, it can protect the Ye family for all generations.
The master did not disclose the mystery. The wise people of the Ye family in all dynasties have read the heirloom book, including Ye Tai, Ye Cheng and Ye Ziyan, especially Ye Ziyan. After reading this book more than a hundred times, they could recite it backwards, but they did not find the mystery.
Although the Ye family will let the Ye family read this heirloom book according to the teachings of their ancestors, obviously, no one has found the secret over the years. This heirloom book has almost been forgotten by the Ye family. In order to respect the ancestors, it has been passed down from generation to generation.
Now Ye Ziyan found this book that seems to have a lot to do with the heirloom book. It seems that the heirloom book is not useless. On the contrary, it is very likely that, as the master said, it can protect the Ye family for all generations.
It's the end of the world. Isn't that Grandpa's ideal? Ye Ziyan cleaned up the old library and looked at the book in her hand with a gloomy face. After locking the side door, she quickly walked towards Mrs. Han's yard.
"Mrs. Han, the old library has been completely tidyed up." Ye Ziyan respectfully saluted Mrs. Han and returned the key to the side door to her.
"Ha ha, you girl, your hands and feet are really good. After that, go home quickly. Presumably the relatives at home should also miss you." Mrs. Han looked at Ye Ziyan with admiration.
"Mrs. Han, I have something else to trouble you." Ye Ziyan took out the old book she found in the old book room and continued, "I found this book under a bookshelf. Looking at the novelty in the book, I like it very much and want to borrow this book home."
"Well, what's wrong with me? If other books have to follow the normal procedures, these old books are originally ready to be sorted out and sold by the college. This book is not worth much. If you like it, I will give it to you!" Mrs. Han waved her hand happily and motioned for Ye Ziyan to take it.
"Thank you, Mrs. Han. Then I'll go back first, Mrs. Han, goodbye!" Ye Ziyan waved goodbye to Mrs. Han and disappeared from Mrs. Han's sight with a happy face.
