Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling
Chapter 67 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (1)
"Wake up, wake up!"
"Come quick, look! Scholar He is awake! The scholar is awake!"
Before Sheng Yuan even opened his eyes, he could hear the noisy sounds around him.
Slowly opening its eyes, it seemed to be a house in a rural village, with many men and women around, looking eager and excited.
There was also a boy in red sitting awkwardly on the edge of the bed, not daring to look up.
It's his kitten.
She's just a bit too thin.
Sheng Yuan felt a pang of sympathy.
"You're awake now! I told you a marriage alliance would work!" a woman said proudly.
Sheng Yuan sat up and found that red paper was pasted everywhere in the room, and he was also wearing a red wedding dress.
Seeing Sheng Yuan's confused look, a burly middle-aged man explained to him, "Scholar He, it's like this: Old Master Zheng found you unconscious on the back of the mountain with a head injury and brought you back to life. However, Doctor Zhang tried his best but couldn't wake you up, so we came up with this idea of a marriage to bring good luck. The second daughter of the Lin family, who was originally engaged to you, was unwilling and sent the eldest son of the Lin family instead. Unexpectedly, you woke up as soon as Nan-ge'er entered the house. Although Lin Nan is a young man, he woke you up, which is considered auspicious for you. You should treat him well!"
After all, this was someone else's idea to arrange a marriage for someone, and this was a promising scholar at that.
There are only two young scholars in their entire village.
Although the Lin family was not wealthy, they were considered one of the richest families in the village.
No one would marry a man unless forced into it or out of genuine affection, especially since he's a notorious womanizer.
From their conversation, Sheng Yuan learned that the man was the village chief. He had lost both his parents and had no elders to make decisions for him, so the village chief helped him arrange the marriage to bring good luck.
Sheng Yuan looked at the boy who was clutching the red robe with his head down and asked softly, "Would you like to call me your husband?"
Lin Nan looked up, surprised that He Xiucai would ask him so gently.
Lin Nan nodded and whispered, "...Husband."
Only then did Shengyuan see clearly what his kitten looked like in this world: handsome face, wheat-colored skin, and a faint red mole at the corner of its eye.
"Hmm." Sheng Yuan responded to him, then said to the village chief, "Don't worry, as his husband, I will certainly not mistreat him."
Seeing that the person wasn't angry, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief.
[Nuonuo, does the original owner have any cash?]
[Some hosts have thirty-eight taels of silver in a box in the left drawer of the desk in the original host's study.]
"Lin Nan, could you please go to the study and fetch the box from the left drawer of my desk?"
Sheng Yuan looked at Lin Nan and asked.
Lin Nan nodded obediently and went out the door.
After Lin Nan left, Doctor Zhang took his pulse again and, after some thought, said, "Your body is mostly fine now, but you still need to take good care of yourself. I'll prescribe another dose of medicine for you. Take it once a day as prescribed, and you'll be fully recovered in less than half a month. Also, apply the ointment to your forehead as prescribed every day, and it will heal in a few days."
"Thank you, Dr. Zhang."
"You're welcome. It's three taels of silver in total, including what I had before."
Lin Nan then brought the box and handed it to Sheng Yuan.
The original owner was cautious; he exchanged thirty taels for silver notes and hid them at the bottom of the box, with only a few taels of loose silver on top of the inner layer.
Shengyuan gave Doctor Zhang three taels of silver.
He added, "The village chief has gone to great lengths these past few days, and Uncle Zheng has also saved my life."
Sheng Yuan divided the remaining five taels of silver into two portions and handed them to the two men.
The village chief thought about the money he had spent on him to bring good luck during this period, which he thought he would never get back. Unexpectedly, it was returned so easily. After all, he was a scholar and he was more reasonable.
Having experienced so many people and events since becoming the village chief, how could he not understand what He Xiucai meant? So he accepted the silver, thinking it was a win-win situation.
Uncle Zheng was an honest and kind man. Saving people was an instinctive act, and he hadn't thought about getting any money. He was about to refuse, but the village chief tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to accept it.
Uncle Zheng accepted it.
"That's good then." The village chief then led the group away, saying, "Alright, it's good that they're awake. Let's not disturb the newlyweds any longer."
Several people were still reluctant to leave, but the village chief had spoken, so they had no choice but to go out.
In addition, the food was already prepared.
We don't usually get to eat this good, so everyone is very enthusiastic.
The door was closed, and Lin Nan trembled with fear.
His father was once a scholar, refined in public but violent in private.
Because he was a boy, his father felt ashamed and he was often beaten.
He said he had cursed his own mother to death, and no one had proposed marriage to him all these years.
He Xiucai was engaged to his younger sister; it had been their engagement since childhood.
But He Xiucai was a man of great ambition and looked down on his sister.
My younger sister is the most beautiful and popular girl in the village.
He Xiucai doesn't even like his own sister, so why would he like me?
Sheng Yuan's body was really hungry. He saw a bowl of noodles on the bedside table, with some green vegetables and a little lean meat.
This is quite rare in this bare room.
Sheng Yuan pointed to the bowl of noodles and asked gently, "Is this for me?"
The boy was startled when he heard his voice, then realized that He Xiucai was talking to him and nodded.
Seeing him nod, Sheng Yuan picked up the bowl, which was hot, but didn't eat immediately. Instead, he asked, "Have you eaten?"
The boy was about to nod when his stomach answered for him, which was a little embarrassing.
Sheng Yuan heard his stomach growl and couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing He Xiucai laugh, Lin Nan's face immediately turned red.
Sheng Yuan picked up a noodle with his chopsticks and skillfully brought it to his mouth, drawing on his experience from the previous world.
Lin Nan stared blankly at the noodles in front of him.
To be honest, I feel a little sorry for Sheng Yuan; he looks so thin.
"Let's eat together." This bowl of noodles is a man's portion, quite substantial, so let's have some to tide us over first.
"No need, you're a patient, you can eat it."
Lin Nan dared not eat it. It was noodles made of white flour, with meat and vegetables. At home, this was reserved for her younger brother, and even her younger sister couldn't eat it.
The village chief specially reserved it for He Xiucai.
“I am your husband now, am I?” Sheng Yuan asked him, putting down his chopsticks to stir the noodles in the bowl, worried that they would get cold.
Lin Nan was confused, but he was indeed her husband now.
Lin Nan nodded.
"So now you have to listen to me, right?"
"A woman follows her husband after marriage," Lin Nan nodded.
Sheng Yuan picked up a piece of noodles with his chopsticks and held it to his mouth, saying very seriously, "Open your mouth. Listen to me."
Lin Nan had no choice but to obediently open his mouth and bite into the noodles, hoping that he wouldn't hit him too hard later.
Lin Nan slurped a mouthful of noodles into his mouth, while Sheng Yuan picked up another mouthful and ate it himself.
Lin Nan blushed and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do when she saw Sheng Yuan eating noodles with the chopsticks she had used.
This made it easier for Sheng Yuan. Sheng Yuan picked up the only piece of meat in the bowl and put it near Lin Nan's mouth. Lin Nan didn't react in time and ate the lean meat. He chewed it and realized something was wrong.
Upon realizing that what he was chewing was meat, the only piece of meat in the bowl, his eyes widened instantly.
Then he saw He Xiucai smiling at him.
He looked so handsome when he smiled. He suddenly remembered an idiom his younger brother had recited: "a gentleman of modesty and integrity."
Lin Nan immediately lowered his head, so embarrassed that he wished he could disappear into the ground.
Sheng Yuan was overjoyed to see him blushing.
But you still have to feed them.
And so, we fed each other bite by bite until we finished the bowl of noodles.
Lin Nan was practically ripe.
