Chapter 120

"Please go back, my girl, you have no time today." Changfu came out of the study and said to Chen Jiao regretfully.

Chen Jiao was a little disappointed, but she didn't expect that Wang Shen was deliberately avoiding her. She thought Wang Shen was really busy, so she asked Changfu in a low voice: "Then do you know when will sir be free today?"

Changfu thought to himself, he saw that he was quite empty now.

Facing Chen Jiao's beautiful and studious face, Changfu couldn't bear to send her directly, turned back to the study and went to ask her master for instructions.

Wang Shen didn't want to teach Chen Jiao in person, but Chen Jiao was so studious. Wang Shen thought about it and said to Changfu: "Tell her that she will give you the puzzled things every day at dusk in the future. I will explain it to her in the evening, and she will come to you the next morning."

Changfu smiled and went to reply to Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao was very happy. This was better and she could get answers every day, so she didn’t have to wait for Wang Shenxiu.

She turned around with her book in her arms, but saw a young male commoner walking over from the door of the screen wall. The man had fair skin, beautiful eyebrows and elegant eyes, and a scholarly demeanor. His eyes were facing each other, and the male commoner looked at her in surprise. Chen Jiao avoided her gaze in time, nodded slightly, and then quickly left.

In the afternoon, Chen Jiao learned from her sister-in-law Yue Niang that the young man she met in the morning named Qin Yue, who was named Yue, was a student of Wang Shen. Recently, Wang Shen wanted to compile a book, and Qin Yue came to help. Before the book was compiled, Qin Yue would have lived in Shangshu Mansion.

Chen Jiao was not very interested in Qin Yue. She was even more curious about what book Wang Shen wanted to compile. Could it be that he wanted to include the case he solved in a book?

At dusk, Chen Jiao came to the main courtyard. As soon as he came, he saw Wang Shen and Qin Yue sitting in the hall drinking tea, and Changfu was waiting outside.

Today, Chen Jiao wore a white dress embroidered with pink lotus, and walked slowly in a soft golden sunset, just like a fairy from heaven descending to earth.

Young people are prone to greed for beauty, and Wang Shen secretly observes Qin Yue sitting in the lower left head of his.

Qin Yue only glanced at Chen Jiao when she appeared, and then he withdrew his gaze and looked straight.

Wang Shen was very satisfied and observed Chen Jiao outside the door again.

When Chen Jiao saw him looking over, she smiled at Wang Shen from afar. She was originally a beauty, but when she smiled, she became more and more charming.

Wang Shen pursed his lips.

Chen Jiao didn't pay attention and handed the notes she had recorded her doubts to Changfu, and she sued her back.

"Sir." Changfu came in and handed over the notes to Wang Shen.

Wang Shen opened the notes, and Chen Jiao wrote a full page, with beautiful handwriting, which is very different from the respectfulness he was when he was young.

In the evening, Wang Shen made annotations for Chen Jiao. The next morning before he set out for the Ministry of Justice, he handed the notes to Changfu. Changfu was his personal servant, responsible for taking care of his daily life. Manager Chen did not always stay by his side.

After seeing Wang Shen off, Changfu stood in the yard waiting for Chen Jiao to come over.

After Qin Yue had breakfast, he also came to the main courtyard. Seeing Changfu holding a note in his hand, he smiled and asked, "What is this?"

Changfu said truthfully: "Miss Chen is reading the adult's collection of books, and there are a few things that I wonder if I ask the adult to make annotations."

Qin Yue asked unexpectedly: "Who is Miss Chen?"

Changfu explained again.

The two were talking when Chen Jiao came to get notes.

Qin Yue greeted her: "Miss Chen."

Chen Jiao nodded politely, and Changfu hurriedly introduced Qin Yue to her.

"So it's Mr. Qin." Chen Jiao also bowed.

Qin Yue looked at the notes in her hand and asked with a smile: "I heard that the girl is studying the adult's collection. I wonder if I can borrow the notes from the girl?"

He smiled elegantly and had no rude eyes, so Chen Jiao handed over the notes.

Qin Yue opened and looked at it and said unexpectedly: "These are all basic words. If you ask this for advice, you will be useless."

Chen Jiao said ashamed: "I know, but my father and brother don't understand, so I can only ask the adults."

Qin Yue returned the notes to her and said politely: "Qin is not talented. If the girl does not dislike her, Qin is willing to solve the problem for the girl."

Chen Jiao's heart moved. Is this person simply trying to teach her so that she would not disturb Wang Shen, or did she have any other meaning to her?

If it were the former, Chen Jiao would naturally be willing. Wang Shen worked in the Ministry of Justice every day and could only rest when he came back at night. Chen Jiao didn't want to bother Wang Shen every day. If Qin Yue had a crush on her... Thinking of this, Chen Jiao looked at Qin Yue obscurely. It has to be said that Qin Yue is quite handsome and can be accepted as a disciple by Wang Shen and selected to help edit books. Qin Yue's character and talent should be able to pass.

Chen Jiao wants to change her fate and find a good husband. The number of men she can contact now is limited, and there are only a handful of them. Instead of relying on matchmakers to introduce her, it is better to find her own. If she can have true feelings with Qin Yue, that would be great.

"Then it's a blessing for Mr. Qin." Chen Jiao thanked happily.

Qin Yue nodded slightly and said, "From now on, I will come to the study room every day. Before editing the book, I can explain to the girl in the yard for a quarter or two."

He specifically mentioned that the explanation in the yard was to avoid suspicion. Chen Jiao was even more satisfied. After thanking her, she looked at the study and asked curiously: "I wonder what books the young master wants to help the adults compile? Can you disclose it?"

Qin Yue smiled and said, "It's a case that the adults have handled before. If the girl is interested, I can tell her about it later."

Chen Jiao was curious about various cases at this time, so of course she was willing to listen to Wang Shen's case.

"Okay, Qin is going to work hard first, see you tomorrow morning." After the agreement was made, Qin Yue bowed to Chen Jiao.

One of them went to the study room, the other went back to the Xiqianyuan with notes in his arms, and stayed in a daze. He didn't understand how Mr. Qin became acquaintances with Miss Chen after a short period of time.

Wang Shen is indeed a busy man. If Chen Jiao submits notes every day, he will remember that Chen Jiao has not sent him for several consecutive days, and Wang Shen forgot him unknowingly. After Wang Shen returned to the mansion, Manager Chen reported some mundane affairs to him and watched Manager Chen leave. Wang Shen finally remembered Chen Jiao and asked Changfu casually: "Miss Chen has not sent notes recently?"

Changfu said intimately, you finally asked. If you are later, you will probably have to drink the wedding banquet between Mr. Qin and Miss Chen.

Looking at the master, Changfu said simply: "That day, Miss Chen came to get the notes. When Mr. Qin passed by, Mr. Qin read Miss Chen's notes and asked the adults to explain that those were useless. Then he suggested that he could solve the doubts for Miss Chen, and Miss Chen agreed. In the past few days, before Mr. Qin entered the study, he would talk to Miss Chen for a quarter or two in the yard. With Mr. Qin's help, Miss Chen naturally didn't need to bother with the adults."

When Wang Shen heard this, his face was as deep as water.

"Why did Qin Yue read her notes? She took the initiative to ask him to read it?" Wang Shen asked coldly.

Changfu knew that his master treated Miss Chen as his own child and understood this anger, and lowered his head and said, "It was Mr. Qin who took the initiative to watch."

Wang Shen understood and said, "Call Qin Yue over."

Changfu received the order, and not long after, Qin Yue came.

Wang Shen looked at the disciple who stepped into the hall. Thinking that Qin Yue didn't look at Chen Jiao in front of him, but the next day he took the initiative to talk to Chen Jiao. Wang Shen was very displeased, but his disciple was young, so Wang Shen was willing to give him another chance.

"I heard that you have had close contacts with Chen Jiao recently?" Wang Shen asked seriously.

Qin Yue was slightly shocked and saw Wang Shen's dissatisfaction. He explained calmly: "The disciple is just teaching a book for Miss Chen, and there is no abruptness in his words and deeds. I hope the teacher can tell you clearly."

Wang Shen said only: "Men and women are not close to each other. Although you are innocent, if the matter is spread, it will inevitably lead to criticism."

Qin Yue understood and bowed, "What sir taught me is that my disciple is confused. I will explain it to Miss Chen tomorrow and will not teach her anymore."

Wang Shen's expression was a little slow and said, "No, I will explain myself, you can just compile the book with peace of mind."

Qin Yue said goodbye.

Wang Shen asked Changfu to invite Chen Jiao again.

There is a small kitchen in the West Cross Courtyard. Chen Jiao and her sister-in-law were cooking. When they heard that Wang Shen was looking for her, Chen Jiao came with confusion.

It was already mid-April and the weather was getting hotter. Chen Jiao walked along the way and her cheeks were blushing. When Wang Shen saw her, she thought that when she was with Qin Yue, she might be so close to Qin Yue, and she didn't know how to avoid suspicion, her face became colder and more and more.

"What's the matter with me sir?" The man looked unkind, and Chen Jiao couldn't help but lower her voice and cautiously.

Wang Shen stared at her: "I heard that you have had close contacts with Qin Yuelai recently?"

Close contacts and asking questions, that is definitely two different meanings.

Chen Jiao finally understood why Wang Shen looked for her.

She frowned and defended herself: "My lord misunderstood, I just asked Mr. Qin for advice."

Wang Shen said coldly: "I have promised to solve your doubts for you. Why are you still bothering him? He has married and is not a little girl. Don't you know how to avoid suspicion?"

Chen Jiao's face turned pale.

She interacted with Qin Yue, and did take the attitude of treating Qin Yue as her husband to be chosen to understand. However, Chen Jiao asked herself that she had never done any frivolous actions to seduce Qin Yue. Qin Yue treated her gentle and abide by etiquette. During the days when the two of them were in contact, they were more talked about cases, and Qin Yue was much more interesting than Wang Shen.

"Mr. I am busy with political affairs. If it were not forbidden, Chen Jiao would not want to disturb me." Chen Jiao lowered her head and said, "As for my meeting with Master Qin, Changfu is present every time. We are both innocent and unafraid of others' words."

Wang Shen was very angry. He scolded Qin Yue. Qin Yue immediately admitted his mistake and promised not to teach Chen Jiao anymore. Chen Jiao was fine. He was criticized by a girl in person and did not avoid suspicion. She refused to repent.

"Men and women are not allowed to get along with each other. Qin Yue has promised me that he will not teach you again. If you have any doubts in the future, please ask me." Wang Shen ordered directly.

"No, I should avoid suspicion with the adults. Letters can easily give people a handle. I am a married woman who is shameless and unscrupulous, but I cannot implicate the adults' reputation." Chen Jiao refused coldly, looking at the boots under the man's clothes and said, "In the past, Chen Jiao didn't understand the rules and forgot his identity. Later, I asked my brother to return the books borrowed by the adults. Please be busy, Chen Jiao will leave."

After saying that, Chen Jiao turned around and left.

Wang Shen shouted: "Stop!"

What does she mean? Sarcastically, when did he say she was shameless?

Chen Jiao refused to listen and left with anger. When she went out, she saw Changfu standing outside the door.

"You..." Changfu looked at her in surprise.

Chen Jiao left quickly.

Changfu stayed there for a moment before he stepped into the living room in confusion and asked, "What did the sir just say? I saw that Miss Chen was crying." The watery eyes were filled with tears, which was so pitiful.

Wang Shen was stunned. She, did she cry?

The master and servant looked at each other. After about two quarters of an hour, Chen Jixiao came to the main courtyard with two pieces of Shu embroidery, a pile of books with a puzzled look on his face, and hesitated to Wang Shen: "Sir, this is what my sister asked me to return it. My sister said that she was unvirtuous and could not bear the rewards of her."

Wang Shen's face turned dark. He just scolded her for a few words. As for the trouble that everyone knows?

Chen Jixiao thought of his sister holding back her tears, and misunderstood that her sister had made a mistake and was punished by the adults. He knelt on the ground and pleaded for her sister: "Sir, my sister is ignorant. You have a lot of adults, so spare her once?"

Wang Shen was about to ask him to get up first, but Manager Chen also rushed over.

Facing the father and son's loyal faces, Wang Shen suddenly had a headache!
