Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1306 - 536: Panic

At the beginning of November, Mr. Yu Shan arrived in the Capital City.

Originally, Mr. Yu Shan had planned to come in September, but due to the drought, it got postponed to now. Mr. Yu Shan returned to the Capital City not only alone but also brought along his stepson’s entire family. Luckily, Mr. Yu Shan’s house hadn’t been rented out, and the Dong Family had kept it clean, so they could move in directly.

Yueyao received the news and went over with Kexin to visit. Upon seeing Mr. Yu Shan, Yueyao noticed that he looked particularly well, and when she saw the busy middle-aged man beside Mr. Yu Shan, she had a general idea of what was going on.

Mr. Yu Shan pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "Yueyao, this is Dong Dan. From now on, you should call him Big Brother. Dong Dan, this is the closed-door disciple I’ve often mentioned to you, Zichang."

Dong Dan was relatively tall and seemed somewhat straightforward, probably around thirty years old. When he saw Yueyao looking at him, he smiled broadly, revealing white teeth: "Hello, Sister Zichang."

Yueyao smiled and nodded but thought to herself, why did Old Master Dong pick such a stepson for the teacher? He seemed very satisfied with him.

Mr. Yu Shan smiled and asked Dong Dan to leave, then said to Yueyao, "Dong Dan may not be very bright, but he’s sincere and reliable, and his two grandsons are decent as well."

Yueyao understood that the latter part was the key: "What about the two nephews?"

Mr. Yu Shan smiled and said, "They went to my Big Brother’s house and will probably come back in the evening. Both children are quite talented. The elder one, Dong Yi, has already passed the scholar exams, and the younger one I intend to delay for a couple of years before letting him try. Enough about them, let’s talk about you! Didn’t you say you’d hold a painting exhibition once back in the Capital City? Why hasn’t it happened yet?"

Yueyao was speechless. Could she say the teacher was missing a beat? Her husband was fighting in the Northwest, and she was holding a painting exhibition in the Capital City—how would that look? "I plan to wait until the battle in the Northwest is over before holding the exhibition."

Mr. Yu Shan chuckled: "Alright. I’ve heard since I arrived that Brother Feifei was picked by Elder Wang and might apprentice under him? Academic ambition cherishes a legacy the most. If Brother Feifei apprentices under Elder Wang, who has students and connections all over, Brother Feifei’s future prospects will surely be promising."

Old Grand Master Dong specifically mentioned this to Mr. Yu Shan, reminding him that while the children are still young, let Dong Yi’s two brothers forge a good relationship with Brother Feifei.

Yueyao nodded: "Yes, Elder Wang is quite pleased with Brother Feifei. They’re currently choosing an auspicious day for the ceremony. After over two months of getting along, Brother Feifei is quite satisfied with Elder Wang, so he’s not resisting the idea of apprenticing anymore."

Mr. Yu Shan laughed heartily: "Among the three kids, Brother Feifei is not only quick-minded but learns things quickly and can apply them in different contexts—anyone who encounters a child like Brother Feifei wouldn’t want to let him go." Only a relic like Old Mr. Wen would let an uncut gem like Brother Feifei go.

Yueyao chuckled, chatted with Mr. Yu Shan for a while, and then went home.

Xiang Wei noticed Yueyao seemed downcast and asked curiously, "What’s wrong?"

Yueyao felt a bit sullen: "Nothing." She didn’t know why, but there was an indescribable feeling, sullen and sour.

Xiang Wei looked at Yueyao curiously, then said, "Since we’re out, let’s go for a walk. You’ve been cooped up at home and haven’t gone out since you got back. I think you’re just feeling stifled."

Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "Then let’s go check out your dessert shop. Speaking of which, even after all these years since you’ve opened it, I haven’t seen it yet!"

Wei Ji Dessert Shop is located at the edge of bustling South Street. The shop is quite large, with two storefronts and a spacious store hall. Upon entering, one can see an oval-shaped counter in the middle, displaying various cakes. Both sides are also stocked with a variety of candies and desserts.

Xiang Wei explained, "This section is designed specifically for women." Men and women are different, so the staffing is different as well.

A woman probably in her twenties, fair-skinned and clean-looking, greeted Xiang Wei affectionately: "Store Manager, you’re here."

Xiang Wei pointed at Yueyao and said, "This is Madam." It was Yueyao’s first visit; the staff didn’t recognize her.

The woman had been working at Wei Ji Shop for over four years, but this was the first time she saw Yueyao, and she was a bit excited: "Greetings, Madam."

Yueyao smiled, walked over to the display and examined the candies and desserts, choosing some new-style candies to take home for her four kids.
