Quick Wear: If I Had Regret Medicine

Chapter 88 The Drowned Cousin 5

Xuanhe still liked this cousin named Shen Yue very much. She kept observing him on the road and found that he really fits her impression of ancient scholars.

The Shen family has an ox cart, so you don’t have to walk when you go to town with Uncle Shen and others.

It was almost noon when they reached the town, and she was almost falling asleep sitting in the ox cart.

But they were all very excited and kept chatting. When they arrived in the town, they went straight to the Master's house. They would live in the Master's house from now on.

I only live in the academy for a short period of time, and I heard that the conditions there are not good.

Xuanhe thought that they had not prepared anything, so he went straight to the Master's house, but Uncle Shen and the others had already prepared everything.

As soon as they got to the door, they took out something and wrapped it in a cloth. She couldn't tell what it was.

And it also included the Lin family's share, but judging from the expressions of Lin Yuan and Shen, they also knew it.

She breathed a sigh of relief. People said that they didn't need to pay for these things, but she couldn't really not show some appreciation.

When they arrived at the Master's house, an old man opened the door and saw them coming and took them in directly.

Xuanhe also followed him in, but he didn't expect that after entering, he found someone inside.

What she saw was a very handsome man wearing green clothes, sitting in the yard.

In front of him was an old man. When he saw them coming, he immediately dropped the chess piece in his hand and ran to Shen Yue.

"You guys are here, come in quickly, this is your cousin, right? He looks like an honest kid."

This old man looks quite approachable, with a bit of a mischievous old man vibe.

Seeing Shen Yue nod, he pulled Mo An, who was following behind, over to introduce them.

"This is Mo An. He will be leaving next year. You will study together then. You can get to know each other then."

Master Cheng was a very enthusiastic person. Seeing that they were a little reserved, he took them to introduce themselves to the people in the yard.

But after seeing Mo An, both the Lin family and the Shen family were very surprised.

Xuanhe looked at Mo An in front of him. Although the clothes he was wearing were simple, his facial features looked handsome and strong.

When she saw them, she was a little surprised, but she quickly reacted and came over to greet Lin Yuan and Shen.

"Hello, Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, and my brother from Wuzhou." After saying that, he glanced at Xuanhe beside him, and then heard Master Cheng ask with a little surprise.

"Do you know each other?" Master Cheng was a little curious. He had just wanted to introduce them to each other, but he didn't expect that they actually knew each other.

"These are my future father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as my uncle and aunt." Mo An introduced them to Master Cheng with a smile.

"Then you two are really destined to be together. I don't need to introduce you one by one."

Master Cheng stroked his beard, his eyes filled with a satisfied smile.

"Miss Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are doing well lately."

He looked at the clothes Xuanhe was wearing. They were new clothes, but her hands were a little red from the cold.

He turned around and wanted to go inside to get something to warm his hands, but then he thought it would be inappropriate to have so many people here.

"The Mo boy is here. Long time no see. Are your parents in good health?" He was quite happy to see Mo An.

Their future son-in-law is both well-mannered and well-educated, which meets their requirements for a son-in-law.

"They are in good health and said they would visit you in Linjia Village in the near future."

Mo An glanced at Xuan He, and then started chatting with Shen.

They chatted for a few minutes and were called in by Master Cheng.

The courtyard of Master Cheng's house looked quite large, and there were many rooms. I also saw a house with an open door, and inside the house, there were many tables and chairs.

It seems that this teacher also teaches here normally, but they have not visited the academy in the town yet, so they don't know what it is like.

They didn't stay here for long. It was time for lunch, but the people from the Shen and Lin families felt it was inappropriate to eat at someone else's house, so they refused.

Mo An took them to see the county school. Along the way, Mo An introduced to them some things that needed attention at the county school.

Shen Yue and Lin Wuzhou are not in the same class when they study. Although they are about the same age, their progress is very different.

Shen Yue has been studying with an old scholar in the village for many years, but Lin Wuzhou has only studied for two years and has to learn many things from scratch.

The county school was far worse than Xuanhe had imagined. In her impression, the county school was full of pavilions and towers, and there were also libraries where students could read.

However, this is not the case. The students here need to buy the books they need for study or copy them themselves.

Books are a precious commodity here.

Along the way, Xuanhe could clearly feel that Mo An was always looking at her.

She didn't feel much about the look that appeared and disappeared from time to time.

In the previous life, after the original owner died, Mo An was very depressed for a while. The Lin family did not want to replace her with another person to marry into the Mo family. Even though Lin Ruru suggested marrying into the Mo family instead, the Lin family did not take it.

And the most important thing is that after the original owner died, Mo An also said that he would not marry again.

At that time, both the Lin family and the Mo family were very surprised, but Mo An was always very persistent. After forcing them several times to no avail, they finally let her go.

Later, he devoted all his energy to studying, and when he was less than 20 years old, he took part in the imperial examination and achieved very good results.

The original owner's wish, in addition to revenge on Lin Ru Ru, was to marry Mo An.

If Mo An doesn't have any major problems, there will be no problem with her getting married.

They quickly finished touring the county school, which was not very large and they finished the tour in a few minutes. Also, many places were not accessible because there were students attending classes there.

After they left the gate of the county school, Mo An took them to a restaurant.

"Let's go to the stall next door to eat. The prices here are very high." The mother said in advance.

At this time, Chen Zhen also stood up and said, "Yes, yes, let's go to the wonton stand next to us to eat. The food there tastes really good."

It costs too much to come here. Although they have money, they may waste several taels of silver in a restaurant, while they spend less than one-third of the money at the wonton stall next door.

"You were inconsiderate, kid. It's okay. I know a delicious wonton shop. I'll lead the way."

From the beginning, Mo An directly called Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen "Uncle" and "Aunt".

Lin Wuzhou looked at his sister several times and found that she looked normal and did not seem shy.

However, my sister has always been very calm and emotionally stable, and rarely shows it on her face.

Mo An also felt that he had done something wrong just now. In this day and age, his family is actually not short of money and they rarely come to restaurants to eat.

He just wanted to say that he would pay, but their two families would definitely not agree.

He glanced at Xuanhe quietly and found that Xuanhe had his eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking.

After they finished their meal, Lin Wuzhou and Shen Yue would follow Mo An to the teacher's house, and they would return to the village.

Shen pulled Lin Wuzhou aside and stuffed a few taels of silver into his pocket.

"Although the Master said that we should prepare writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, you should take these five taels of silver and remember not to spend them carelessly. We will buy you a new set of stationery when the time comes. Also, you two must pay attention to your safety."

Shen looked at her son, her face full of reluctance.

But I am also happy, being able to study is a good thing.

They had to hurry back, so they didn't waste any time and hurriedly told him some things to pay attention to, as it would be unsafe if they were late.

Before leaving, Mo An came over to say goodbye to them. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something to Xuanhe, but seeing so many people around, he didn't say anything.

After they left, their group rushed to the street to buy what they needed.

This time they came out to buy some things to take back. The Chinese New Year was still more than a month away, so they took advantage of the ox cart to bring the things back.

Shen and Lin Yuan went to buy a lot of food, some of which were for Grandpa and Grandma Shen.

In the past, when we had no money and no ability, the only way we could show our filial piety was by doing housework. I would go and help them after I finished my own work.

But now that they have money, they will definitely buy something for them.

Shen told Lin Yuan and the Shen family about the gold that Xuanhe had picked up. While they were amazed at Xuanhe's good luck, they also asked them to save the money well as they would need it in the future.

This time, Shen bought a lot of cotton and wanted to make new quilts for the children.

Xuanhe looked at these things on the street. Although it was a town, the conditions in this town were very backward.

Apart from some necessary seasoning shops such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, two grain stores, two garment shops, and more blacksmith shops, the rest are basically mobile vendors.

They only confirmed these few and did not visit his stores.

In addition to buying cotton, Shen also bought a few pounds of meat, intending to take it back for a good meal.

Of course, she would take it to the Shen family to eat. If she took it back to the Lin family, not only would the people at home complain, they would also probably wonder where she got the money from.

It’s not good to always use the Shen family as an excuse. Anyway, the buns they brought back last time are something they haven’t eaten for several years.

However, Shen still bought a pound of meat separately, and it was all fat, intending to take it back and stir-fry it for a meal later.

On the day of oil refining, the yard was filled with the aroma of frying, but none of the children could eat a single piece.

Because Grandma Lin put all the oil residue in a jar and asked Lin Yuan to take it to the river.

Lin Yuan is going to Dahe tomorrow. Last year, anyone who had anything good at home would go to Dahe to repair ditches first.

At this point, the rest of the Lin family wouldn't say anything.

Because when it comes to them, the good things are also next to them.

Xuanhe and the others brought the things to Shen's house and gave a small half of the cotton to Aunt Shen.

I took the rest away with me. Yesterday, when Grandpa and Grandma Shen received the clothes made by Xuanhe, they were very happy.

He held her hand, looked at her again and again, praised her again and again, and the love in his eyes could not be concealed.

She also secretly gave money to Xuanhe, although Xuanhe did not accept it and it was only more than 800 coins. She was surprised when she saw it.

However, in the past, the original owner would receive money from them from time to time. Although there were many times when he did not accept the money, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen would later spend the money on him from other places.

There were two elderly people who loved her very much, but it was a pity that the original owner could not enjoy them.

After they finished their meal, they hurried home. It was almost dark and it would take them more than half an hour to get home.

Taking two torches, the family headed into the dark road.

When the family of three arrived back at the Lin family, the Lin family had already returned to their respective rooms to rest. Shen and Lin Yuan went to greet Grandma Lin and told her about what had happened today so that they could feel at ease.

When Xuanhe returned to his house, he clearly felt that his house had been tampered with.

Although her room didn't have many things in it and looked very simple, she decorated it very well.

Everything is remembered, including where it is placed and in what position.

And because of the cleaning technique, her room was very tidy and spotless.

The only places that had been moved were the dressing table and the quilt, but nothing was lost.

The main reason was that there were only a few ordinary hair bands in her dressing table. As for other things, the original owner was still young and had never used them. The most important point was that she had no money to buy them.

After thinking about the people who would enter her room, there was no one else except Lin Ruru.

The Lin family is now slowly getting back on track. Tomorrow morning, when Xuanhe goes to wash clothes, she will push him into the river.

The next morning, Xuanhe went to wash clothes early in the morning just like the original owner in the previous life.

In fact, these clothes only belonged to her and Shen. Lin Yuan's clothes were too dirty, so he usually washed them after he came back from work every day.

Because of his habit, his two younger brothers also did the same.

So every time Xuanhe came to wash clothes, it was actually only hers and Shen's.

When the old couple's clothes were distributed to their home, Shen got up earlier than her and washed all the clothes.

She got up in the morning and walked out with her clothes. Not long after she walked, she saw another person coming out of the Lin family's gate.

But this time, Lin Ruru actually thought of an even more vicious method.

In their Linjia Village, there was an old bachelor who was over 30 years old and had not yet married.

The reason why this old bachelor has never gotten married is that he had lots of affairs when he was young and now has a lot of red rashes all over his body.

In the summer he liked to take a bath in the river. When he took off his clothes, his whole body was covered with dense red pimples, which gave people goose bumps.

Lin Ruru didn't know what method she used to make this person wait in the woods by the river early in the morning.

She is so cruel. I don’t know what Lin Ruru did in her previous life. She can plan these things without changing her expression. So don’t blame her for being cruel.
