Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

[The team mission card has been used successfully. You will enter this small world with the missioner Jiang Xuan.]

Chen Xuyan and Jiang Xuan looked at each other, and the next second they both entered the mission world.

Team missions are different from other missions. The plot is not announced in advance. The missioners can only know the specific plot after entering the small world.

This is also to increase the difficulty of the task.

His identity this time is a farmer's scholar. The original owner died on the way to escape famine in the mission world.

The original owner had a special identity. As a scholar, he was not only the hope of his entire family, but also the hope of the entire village.

It was he who suggested fleeing the famine because he learned from his classmates in the city that a group of northern refugees had surrounded the city gate.

Their eyes were shining with hunger, and the look they gave the guards on the city wall was full of resentment.

Chen Xuyan found out that there were no elderly, weak, women or children among this group of people, and he guessed that they had become helpless.

Refugees who are capable of even cannibalism will certainly use various means to break into the city, and after entering the city they will burn, kill, loot, and commit all kinds of atrocities.

Who knows how chaotic it will be by then. The people of Houyun City, who are used to working from sunrise to sunset, will definitely be unable to cope with it.

It stands to reason that with General Zheng in Houyun City, nothing serious should happen. However, unexpectedly, General Zheng, who had always been in good health, suddenly fell ill and unfortunately passed away.

This was an inevitable outcome. The Zhou Dynasty's three hundred years of rule was coming to an end. The past three emperors were extremely stupid and ignored the affairs of state. Each of them was a short-lived emperor.

General Zheng had made outstanding military achievements but was not valued because the current emperor valued civil officials over military officials. The civil officials hated him for stealing the limelight and wanted to eat him alive. How could they possibly give him advice?

In addition, Houyun City is far away from the imperial city. According to the current situation in the court, even if Houyun City is lost, the emperor will not think about taking back the lost land.

Instead, he used gold, silver, treasures, official titles and other means to recruit the people who finally occupied Houyun City.

The original owner persuaded the villagers to flee the famine, but the people in the surrounding villages did not believe him.

It’s because Houyun City has good weather and is not in the disaster-stricken area at all. Now that it is a chaotic world outside, it is naturally safest to stay in Houyun City.

Besides, even if there is chaos outside, as long as the Zhou Dynasty is still there, the emperor will not ignore Houyun City and will definitely send troops to rescue them.

Even if they have to face increasing taxes and grain collections year by year, they are unwilling to leave their hometown.

It's nothing more than eating less and working more. As long as God blesses Houyun City with good weather and the grain harvest is as good as it is now, they are not afraid of anything.

But at this time, the number of refugees was increasing. Without General Zheng, the soldiers in the city were demoralized. Some of the rich people and officials had secretly left from the east gate early with their families and money.

Chen Xuyan took the villagers away from Houyun City. He had great ambitions in his heart and only wished to meet a wise ruler.

By then he will definitely be able to make a career.

He eventually died not far from Houyun City after being poisoned.

This person was jealous of Chen Xuyan for passing the imperial examination at such a young age, and he was the one who spread rumors about Chen Xuyan in the village on a daily basis.

He didn't believe Chen Xuyan's nonsense at all, but the villagers and his family regarded Chen Xuyan's words as the gospel.

In the mountains just thirty miles away from Houyun City, he asked his three-year-old daughter to bring a bowl of water to Chen Xuyan.

Chen Xuyan did not take precautions against the child and was eventually poisoned and died of bleeding from all seven orifices.

After Chen Xuyan died, the young and middle-aged men who followed him out of the village all wanted to go back. It was already the season for spring planting, and the village chief tried to persuade them earnestly, but he was unable to persuade them.

When they returned to Houyun City in a large group, the city had already been invaded by refugees, who were burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of atrocities.

General Zheng's deputy general had already secretly escaped with the remaining soldiers.

Some of the people resisted to the death, while others tried to escape with their families, but in the end most of them died.

Chen Hegui, who poisoned Chen Xuyan, did not have a good ending in the end. His pants were wet when he died.

Scared to the point of peeing.

"You have two main tasks."

"First, change the original owner's fate and realize his ideals and ambitions."

"Second, to save the people of the Zhou Dynasty who were suffering from dire straits."

"I understand." Chen Xuyan quickly read the rest of the story.

He cannot take the initiative to contact Jiang Xuan in this small world unless they can reunite due to the plot, then the subsequent plot will not be considered as destroying the character setting.

In a farmhouse, in an east-facing room.

Chen Xuyan woke up, and as soon as he woke up he felt a pain in his head.

"Tsk." The original owner was hit by someone.

"Uncle is awake! Go call grandma!" The two little boys ran out of Chen Xuyan's room like a gust of wind.

After a while, the door of Chen Xuyan's room was kicked open with a bang. The door was not strong to begin with, and it broke directly after the kick.

Wu Yueying didn't care about anything else. As soon as she heard that Chen Xuyan had woken up, she put down her work in the fields and ran back.

"Mom." Chen Xuyan called out as he looked at the dark and haggard woman in front of him.

This person is the original owner's mother.

Wu Yueying pushed him back onto the bed and said, "You just woke up, you'd better lie down quickly. Sitting is too tiring!"

Her fingers were rough and powerful, and Chen Xuyan couldn't resist at all.

"Gousheng! Hurry up and ask Luzhu to make a bowl of egg custard for your uncle!" Wu Yueying ordered the boy at the door.

The boy called Gousheng was slightly older than the other one.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" After saying that, he ran to the foot of the mountain behind his house.

The eldest sister said she wanted to collect firewood, which should be near the back mountain.

When the other slightly younger boy heard about egg custard, his eyes lit up and his saliva was almost dripping out.

"Mom, I'm fine." Chen Xuyan knew how much Wu Yueying valued the original owner.

In her heart, no one can be higher than Chen Xuyan's status.

Not only because Chen Xuyan is the youngest child, but also because he is pursuing a career in politics.

This was her father's greatest wish before he died, but unfortunately, her younger brother was in poor health and passed away early.

Her father followed her because he had no hope left.

But she is different. She is in good health and her child is also in good health. She will definitely see the day when Chen Xuyan becomes successful.

By then, her father's wish will have been fulfilled.

Wu Yueying shook her head. "A scholar must be in good health! Your grandfather said that the Imperial Examination is not something that ordinary people can endure! It's cold and uncomfortable in there, and every year some candidates die there."

"I heard there's a stinking urn right next to the toilet, and every year there are people who faint from the fumes while sitting next to it!"

She gritted her teeth and said, "If I knew which bastard hit you from behind, I would kill him! Bastard! He must be someone who is jealous of you."

"My poor son, he's really in big trouble this time!"

His son has never offended anyone in the village, and he has also achieved great success. The person who wants to harm him must be from somewhere else!

It couldn't be someone from their village. Who in their village wouldn't respect his son? He was only fifteen years old and he passed the imperial examination, and he even ranked first!

Unfortunately, the teacher of the academy was so blind that he even accepted money from his son. He also had to pay for his own food and drinks in the academy on weekdays.

As she was thinking, she started to curse the person who hit Chen Xuyan.

"Next time, don't hang out alone. Let your nephews follow you! Don't underestimate their age. They are actually very clever and much smarter than you."

But you must hide it well, don’t let Wu Yueying find out!

Chen Xuyan knew her temper and knew that if he really told her who this person was, she would probably go to settle the score with him immediately.

It must be said, but now is not the best time.

"I see."

"Mom, is there any water?" The kettle by the window was empty, and he put it down.

Wu Yueying looked at the other little boy at the door and said, "Goudan, why don't you hurry up and get some water for your uncle?"

She took the kettle and handed it to Chen Qufei.

"Go get some water from the kitchen bucket! If I catch you getting water from the well again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

"Don't even reach into the tank outside! If you do, you'll just die."

The little boy was startled and nodded quickly, "I understand, grandma. I will never go to the well to fetch water again."

If his uncle hadn't suddenly returned from the city last time, he would have been drowned.

The full bucket of water immediately pulled him into the well. His parents and brothers and sisters were all in the fields. He was alone and wanted to drink some cool water, so he ran to fetch water for himself.

After all this operation, Chen Xuyan's head was buzzing.

Wu Yueying does have a loud voice.

"Son, you must take good care of your health, but don't neglect your studies! I'm counting on you for my future."

"The whole family's hopes are pinned on you."

Chen Xuyan leaned back on the bed, "I understand, Mom."

It is no exaggeration to say that the whole family's hopes are pinned on him. In order to support him, Chen Xuyan's elder brother and father have suffered a lot.

Wu Yueying and her daughter-in-law also worked hard in the fields all day long.

Fortunately, he passed the imperial examination and the pressure on the family was finally relieved, and the other two men in the family no longer had to serve in the army.

Those who used to laugh at her stupidity are now silent. No matter how poor or hard-working they are, they still think of sending their children to learn a few words. Even the village chief will come to their house to discuss things with his son when he has something to do.

This is the beauty of reading.

Thinking about it, Wu Yueying thought of her own sadness, "If only your grandfather were alive, he would be very happy to see you pass the exam and become a scholar!"

"You don't know how hard it was for me! As soon as your uncle died, they kicked your grandmother and me out! They said we were disaster stars..."

She waited until Chen Qufei came into the house with water before she wiped her tears and said nothing more.

"It takes so long to fetch water? You dare to be lazy now?" Wu Yueying twisted his ear.

Chen Qufei grimaced in pain, "Grandma, there's no water in the kitchen bucket. I'm waiting for my elder sister to come back and fetch some!"

Wu Yueying let go of his ear and said, "Then why didn't you just say it in advance? You're such a fool! Can't you learn from Gousheng's cleverness?"

"But, grandma, didn't you say that being sneaky and deceitful is not a good thing?" After saying this, he ran away.

He was not stupid at all, he was clearly savoring the aroma of the egg custard.

It cooks so fast. I wonder if my uncle won’t be able to finish it or won’t like it. This way he can also have a taste.

"Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with this jerk."

"Mom will help you drink." Wu Yueying filled a bowl with water.

Chen Xuyan held the bowl himself and said, "I'll do it myself."

He wasn't that weak yet.

-kitchen

"Got beaten?" Chen Luzhu didn't seem surprised at all.

Grandma's temper is just like that, she can easily get into trouble. It took some time to get the water.

Chen Qufei was still rubbing his ears, "You're really strong."

He looked at Chen Luzhu pitifully, "Sister, can you let me have a taste? I'll just lick it."

There were two eggs in the custard, but he only ate one egg a day when he was sick.

Chen Luzhu rolled her eyes and said, "Don't dream. This all belongs to my uncle. I think you think your life is too long. Dad will beat you when he comes back and finds out!"

"Dad is too partial. I am his biological son, and he is not partial to me!"

"How dare you compare yourself with your uncle? Our family is living so comfortably now because of him." The person Chen Luzhu admires most at home is Chen Xuyan, followed by Wu Yueying.

Chen Quyue came back with the firewood in his arms, "That's right, Goudan, you really don't know what's good for you."

"Brother, do you look down on me too? Maybe one day I can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar?! By then, I will eat egg custard every day, and I will even let my mother feed me!" Then he asked the two of them to massage his legs.

"Look at yourself, and you still want to take the exam to become a scholar? I have better hopes than you." Chen Quyue seemed to have heard a huge joke.

Chen Qufei couldn't even finish writing the Three Character Classic, yet he still had the nerve to brag like this.

"You look down on me?" "So what if I look down on you? You're as dumb as a pig and you're not willing to listen to the truth?"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Chen Luzhu slapped each of them and said, "You are eight years old and six years old, and you are still so ignorant?"

"If grandma hears us all, we'll all be left with nothing to eat today! If you want to fight, go out and fight, don't drag me down with you!"

It's so annoying. There is always work to do every day, and I have to watch them from fighting.

When they heard there was no food, both of them withdrew their hands.

The feeling of being hungry was too uncomfortable, and they were also afraid.

"The busy farming season is almost here, and you'll have food to eat then." Except for the Chinese New Year and when her uncle is at home, Wu Yueying would only let them have their fill at this time of the year.

In her words, it is useless to eat too much at other times because you will have diarrhea after eating and still not have any strength.

"We got it, sister." Chen Qufei secretly glared at Chen Quyue.

Chen Quyue glared back, not wanting to be outdone.

"You guys cook, I'll deliver the egg custard to my uncle first. You two just stay quiet in the kitchen! I have to go pick up my parents after I finish delivering the custard!" Chen Luzhu felt annoyed when she saw these two annoying things.

They didn't make a fuss, but the eye contact between the two of them basically expressed everything they wanted to express.
