Chapter 463: Lowly Profession
Translator: Vesper
Ever since a large workshop and a school was built, Yang Zhi no longer headed to study in the town but instead studied in the school near ho.
Ning ng Yao imdiately understood after hearing it: “How is Zhi’er’s studies?” They had t Yang Zhi when Qing Shuang got married, that child had already grown a head taller at that ti, he was also more stable. But he was after all still a child, he would forget everything once he started playing.
There was a smile on Yang Zhu’s face when he talked about it: “The teacher said that Zhi’er is really clever and learns very quickly, he even said that he could take the examination two years later.”
Ning ng Yao understood after hearing what he said, it seems Yang Zhi was really not bad, or else the teacher would not say such words, he had the potential to be an official.
”I’m at ease. Uncle Yang, we’ll be heading to the other uncles’ house and won’t be staying,” Ning ng Yao stood up and got ready to leave.
”Co over to join us for a al later,” Yang Zhu looked at them and said firmly.
Ning ng Yao and Qiao Tian Chang looked at each other, they knew Yang Zhu was being serious. It wouldn’t be polite to refuse, so they nodded their heads and agreed to it: “Alright, we’ll co over after we finish sending the gifts.”
”Then hurry and go.”
News of Ning ng Yao and Qiao Tian Chang’s return was quickly spread throughout the whole village. Yang Huai stood at the door and looked at Ning ng Yao’s big belly, he was feeling uncomfortable in his heart. As for his mother, Mada Chen, she was reminded of her deceased daughter. Mada Chen couldn’t stop the bitterness in her heart when she thought of her daughter.
”So what if they are back, is there a need for such great fanfare? Really shaless,” Mada Chen muttered in dissatisfaction.
No matter how dissatisfied Mada Chen felt towards Ning ng Yao, she might also really wish to strangle her to death, but she did not dare to say anything more when she thought of more than half the people in the village working in her workshop.
If she really did it, she would definitely cause public outrage and attract everyone’s anger.
It was not sothing she wished to see.
It was not known what Yang Huai was thinking, seeing Ning ng Yao and the others walking over, he walked over with curious coincidence: “You’re back.”
Ning ng Yao looked at Yang Huai as if she was looking at a monster. Their relationship was not so close, right? Oh, their relationship could be said to be quite bad, they had argued seriously in the past.
”Yao Yao, let’s leave,” Qiao Tian Chang glanced at Yang Huai, he basically did not place that person in his eyes.
”Alright.”
Yang Huai clenched his fist tightly, he was filled with hatred, why was this woman looking down on him?
”Ning ng Yao, do you think you are so great all because you have that little bit of money? Among the four occupations[1], comrce is the lowest profession,” Yang Huai also did not know what happened to himself, he just did not wish for Ning ng Yao to ignore him.
Ning ng Yao turned her head to look at Yang Huai: “If I recall correctly, your elder brother is operating a business. Your brother is the one who supported your studies, you look down on your older brother who paid for your studies?”
Wasn’t his words slapping himself in the face? There was soone in his family doing business and he actually said comrce is the lowest profession. It was not known what his elder brother and sister-in-law would think if they found out?
Yang Huai’s heart turned cold: “I’m not talking about my elder brother.”
”Could it be that your elder brother is not into comrce?” Ning ng Yao raised her eyebrows.
Qiao Tian Chang felt impatient seeing Ning ng Yao talking to an unknown man, he said: “Yao Yao, we still have many things to do, what’s the point saying so much this such trash?”
”Qiao Tian Chang, have more respect in your words, I am a scholar,” Compared to Ning ng Yao, Yang Huai hated Qiao Tian Chang even more, especially when he was being impatient and disdainful.
”There’s no one who doesn’t know you are a scholar. You can’t carry any burden and can’t even hold anything, what qualifications does a man who still relies on his family to feed him have to be arrogant in front of us” Qiao Tian Chang did not look down on scholars, only scholars who were too pedantic and had the thoughts of oneself being superior.
”Tian Chang, let’s go, I wonder what is the point of showing off the identity of a scholar,” She had even t the Emperor, why would she be afraid of a scholar?
[1] The four occupations were an occupation classification used in ancient China by either Confucian or Legalist scholars as far back as the late Zhou dynasty and is considered a central part of the fengjian social structure (c. 1046â??256 BC). These were the shi (gentry scholars), the nong (peasant farrs), the gong (artisans and craftsn), and the shang (rchants and traders).
