Chapter 198 Night After Night
Being selected to enter the palace as a companion to a student was an incredibly honorable thing for an ordinary family.
This indicates that someone in the family is highly regarded by the emperor.
This is a reward. Even Xie Bohuai could only decline it because Le Ge'er was still young. In a year or two, Le Ge'er would still have to go to the palace.
“Before, when Le Ge’er was in a small county town, I didn’t teach him about the things that aristocratic families do. Now that we’re in the capital and in this situation, we still need to teach him more things,” Ye Wanning said.
"Yes, he's a boy, I'll teach him well." Xie Bohuai was still confident in himself.
Ye Wanning glanced at Xie Bohuai, but she wasn't entirely reassured. "In terms of character and manners, my eldest brother is actually the best. He's very meticulous, but I feel at ease with the children in his care. It just so happens that my eldest brother's son is about the same age as Le'er. I think it's better if Mr. Yu takes care of one child instead of just the other, so that my eldest brother's son can also come to study and keep Le'er company. During his days off, Le'er can go to the Ye family's house; he also enjoys the lively atmosphere there."
"Is Wan Ning afraid that I'll corrupt Le Ge'er?" Xie Bohuai said, pulling her onto his lap. He put one arm around Ye Wan Ning's waist and pressed the back of her head with the other, making her look down at him.
As he looked up, he naturally leaned in and kissed him.
After a long, drawn-out kiss, Xie Bohuai finally spoke, "In your eyes, what kind of jackal or tiger am I?"
"I didn't mean that."
"Then what do you mean? Wan Ning, what do you mean?" He coaxed her, asking Ye Wan Ning to kiss him.
Ye Wanning didn't move, so he stared straight at her and said, "I won't let go until you kiss me, and I won't let go even if someone comes in later."
He does what he says.
Ye Wanning had already experienced Xie Bohuai's shamelessness, so she had no choice but to lean down and kiss him. Xie Bohuai's lips were also very soft, but he was never one for simple kisses; he quickly pried open her thin lips.
"Thank you... Thank you, Ziqian!"
Even the most angry voice sounded like a child's coquettishness to Xie Bohuai at this moment.
After their lovemaking, Xie Bohuai finally agreed to Ye Wanning's suggestion. Ye Wanning was too tired to continue and turned away from Xie Bohuai.
"Since you've agreed, I'll take Le Ge'er back to the Ye family tomorrow." Ye Wanning hadn't been back to the Ye family for several days, and she missed her grandmother.
Xie Bohuai had no objections, and the next day before he went out, he specifically asked Zhe Zhu to accompany him.
Ye Wanning didn't let Zhezhu follow. "Tell the master that I haven't been back to my parents' home for a long time and will be staying there for a couple of days. Tell him not to worry about me."
Zhe Zhu didn't think too much about it. "Then I'll still escort you to the Ye family. That way I can rest assured."
"also."
Because she returned suddenly, Ye Wanning was taken aback when she saw her two sisters-in-law, who quickly asked if something was wrong.
Ye Wanning said it was nothing, "I was just thinking that since we've hired a tutor at home, Le'er is lonely studying alone. I wanted to ask my sister-in-law if she would be willing to let Xuan'er and Silin go to school together. Silun is a bit young, he probably can't read yet, right?"
Silun is the son of Jiang Si, the second wife. He is only two years old this year. She said with a smile, "He can't even walk properly yet. His father carries him to learn arithmetic, but he can count. I think he will be someone who loves to play with an abacus in the future. Let Xuan'er and the others go to school first."
Madam Lin was happy to oblige, as the tutor Xie Bohuai had hired was certainly not bad. "Silin should start studying, but should Xuan'er go too?"
Lin and Ye Mingde would also teach Xuan Jie to read, but Xuan Jie did not need to take the imperial examinations or become an official in the court. Lin did not intend to send Xuan Jie to school; it would be enough if she could learn to read and write.
“Silin and Lege are young, and the teacher is only teaching them basic knowledge. It would be good for Xuan’er to listen. Girls should read more books so they can broaden their horizons. Now that her older brother has a bright future, Xuan’er should keep up,” Ye Wanning said.
Madam Lin understood that her sister-in-law was kindly helping her daughter, and she was happy to do so. "Then I thank you on behalf of Xuan'er and Silin. It's good that the three children can keep each other company, and when Silun grows up, there will be another one for them."
Ye Wanning said she wanted to stay the night, and Madam Lin immediately had someone tidy up the courtyard.
Jiang Si has now separated from the family and doesn't live here anymore. She came today to pay her respects to the old lady. Hearing Ye Wanning say this, she hesitated and asked, "Did you quarrel with your husband?"
"We didn't argue, I just missed you all. Xie Bohuai has been too busy lately, so I brought Le Ge'er back to stay for a couple of days," Ye Wanning said.
Hearing Ye Wanning call Xie Bohuai's name, Lin Shi and Jiang Si exchanged a glance, clearly sensing that Ye Wanning and Xie Bohuai were happily growing closer.
Madam Lin smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you and your husband have been married for a while now. It would be best if you had a child soon. The more children you have, the better your relationship will be."
“Yes, sister-in-law is right. You and your husband are both young, so work hard.” Jiang Si thought so too.
Ye Wanning thought to herself that Xie Bohuai was working hard enough, working non-stop every night. Even the village's old oxen weren't as diligent as him.
But she couldn't tell her sisters-in-law about this, so she thought that she would take a break for two days and let Xie Bohuai rest as well.
Unexpectedly, Xie Bohuai arrived in the evening, bringing a bunch of things. He said he also missed the Ye family and wanted to come and stay with them.
Ye Mingde was wondering if it was necessary for both he and his wife to come back since the Xie family lived in Beijing.
He glanced at his sister, then at Xie Bohuai, and seeing that neither of them were giving him the cold shoulder, he secretly asked Lin Shi. He learned that his sister hadn't come back after an argument, so he didn't ask any more questions.
When Le Ge'er learned that he could study with his older cousins, he was happy, but he also said, "Then you have to be serious. Mr. Yu is very fierce. He will hit my palms."
Xuan'er can already read. She usually teaches him to read in the female-oriented online community, and sometimes the teacher will slap her palm. She didn't react much when she heard this. Silin got scared and cried, saying she didn't want to go.
The children were all gathered together, making quite a racket. Ye Wanning whispered to Xie Bohuai, "Aren't you very busy? Why did you come along?"
"I miss my older brother and the others," Xie Bohuai said seriously.
Ye Wanning didn't believe it, but there was nothing she could do. Since Xie Bohuai was back, she could only stay with him for two days.
Before going to bed at night, Ye Wanning emphasized that this was the Ye family home and that she couldn't let the Ye family servants laugh at her.
"I'm not some impulsive young man anymore, you underestimate me too much." Xie Bohuai snorted, then lay down and hugged Ye Wanning. "Actually, it would be nice if we all moved here, the whole family could live together, it would be lively and fun."
“You wish! If you move in, my brother and sister-in-law will have endless worries.” Ye Wanning sighed as she spoke. “I’ve already seen my brother’s gray hair. I want to advise him not to worry so much, but when I think about how he is the eldest brother and the whole Ye family depends on him, I know it’s impossible for him not to worry.”
“My eldest brother is indeed not as carefree as my second brother, but he is diligent enough. I have some good news for you first: my eldest brother is going to be promoted. However, he doesn’t know yet; the imperial decree will be issued in a few days.” Xie Bohuai said, nuzzling Ye Wanning’s neck.
Having received the hint, Ye Wanning quickly pushed him away, "Xie Bohuai, I said no today and that's final. You have to let me rest."
