Chapter 699: Can you marry a bride with 699 [An additional - for 10,000 fresh book coins]?
As for the instigator, a young and robust man, a few spankings wouldn’t kill him; he was directly given a beating, consequently, he spent this entire year lying in bed.
At the same time, following this incident, the clansmen saw once again that the Ye Family of today was an existence they could no longer afford to offend.
Yet, they still regarded the Ye Family as merely a family with a bit of money, which was a grave mistake indeed.
In a blink of an eye, the New Year was approaching.
The workshop had closed its doors a few days ago, and the workers, having received their wages and benefits, would be able to enjoy a very prosperous New Year.
The estate also distributed benefits. Ye Jiu gave Ye Changsheng a thousand taels of silver. Remembering that the Prince had mentioned allowing him to enter the official scene next year, he instructed him to study hard. Although the affairs of the estate were important, they couldn’t compare to his participation in the imperial examinations.
Not to mention greater achievements, if the clan could produce even a provincial graduate, the Ye family would truly have its day in the sun.
Xiang Nan’s wounds had not yet healed completely, but he was able to get down on the ground. After awakening, he dragged his injured body to thank Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu didn’t say much but instead shared his plans, which left Xiang Nan overjoyed.
It was clear that if he could bring his daughter over, staying here would be far better for him than staying in the capital city.
Although there was no chance of promotion or getting rich here, there was no longer the risk of losing one’s life at any given moment.
Moreover, he would have more time to spend with his child.
The sky was overcast, and a light rain began to patter down. After the rain, large, goose-feather-like snowflakes began to fall.
