When Ying Chenyi, the top scholar in liberal arts, came over, the whole family's life was already precarious. Everyone planned to sell Ying Chenyi to Goulan Courtyard and sell her brother to be a eunuch.
Ying Chenyi looked at the miserable family and felt despair.
However, on the way to the city, she saw a notice asking for a book boy. The price was quite high and the treatment was generous.
She grabbed Grandma's sleeve and said, "I'm the only one who knows a few words in this family. Let me be the book boy."
Aniang looked at Ying Chenyi, who was only twelve years old, and was afraid that the matter would be exposed, but thinking about the family's three-year rations, she gritted her teeth and sent Ying Chenyi to the wealthy businessman's house dressed as a boy.
That night, Ying Chenyi knelt in front of the wealthy businessman Ye Baihe and begged: "I can read and write. I can help you with your imperial examination. Please keep me."
Ye Baihe accommodated Ying Chenyi, but he never expected that many years later, when the two of them went to the imperial examination together, Ying Chenyi would be named on the gold medal list, while Ye Baihe would lose his name to Sunshan.
Ying Chenyi gave the list of candidates to Ye Baihe and said: "From now on, you will be Ying Chenyi. Just think of me as repaying your kindness back then, and you and I will be clean."
When he was about to leave, Ye Baihe grabbed Ying Chenyi and said, "I thought about it, it would be good to be an official husband."
Ying Chenyi was slightly startled.
Ye Baihe: "What? I, the richest man in the country, am not worthy of you?"
