Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling
Chapter 80 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (14)
Just as Sheng Yuan was about to leave, he heard someone calling for help not far away.
Looking up, he saw a young man rushing straight towards Lin Nan. Sheng Yuan was about to stop him when he suddenly stopped for some reason.
The young man stopped in front of Lin Nan, knelt down with a thud, and begged for help: "Please, my husband, save my life! My father secretly sold me to that broker to pay off his gambling debts. That broker beats and scolds me all the time, and I am living a miserable life. I managed to escape, but if he catches me again, I will surely die. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda! Please save me!"
The young man was very thin, and his exposed arms were covered with scars.
The brokers behind them were holding leather whips.
Lin Nan couldn't help but feel sympathy when he heard about his experience. Lin Da also gambled, and it was because he lost money gambling that he signed the letter severing ties with him. Of course, there was also the reason related to his own background.
But saving him would cost money, and she had no money; the money belonged to her husband.
He looked up and his husband was gazing at him tenderly, saying, "Do whatever you want, without any worries."
Lin Nan nodded and said to the young man, "I'll save you."
They bought the young man for five taels of silver in the end.
"From now on, you will be my husband's personal attendant. Remember that your master is only my husband. Serve him diligently and do not neglect him. Do you understand?" Sheng Yuan said to the young man kneeling on the ground.
"Understood, thank you so much for saving my life, my lord. I will repay you with my life as a servant!" The young man, Nuonuo, knelt on the ground to express his loyalty.
Lin Nan reached out and helped Nuonuo up, saying, "Get up. If you do your job well in the future, I will not treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, my lord." Nuonuo's eyes were red from crying, and she looked very pitiful.
[Host, how was my acting? Not bad, right?]
【generally.】
[Host, you said that, and Nuonuo is so sad, sob sob~]
Shut up and be normal!
【OK. 】
Sheng Yuan took Lin Nan to buy several suitable outfits. After all, he should choose his own husband's clothes. He only stopped when Lin Nan grabbed his arm to stop him.
In other words, the money is in his hands during this period. Once his husband learns to manage the accounts, he won't need to manage the money anymore.
Lin Nan sensed that Sheng Yuan was spending money extravagantly, but since it wasn't his money, he couldn't say anything.
After finishing their business, Sheng Yuan and Lin Nan prepared to return to the village.
Although Sheng Yuan didn't want to cause trouble, he decided to return to the village so that it would be easier to explain to Lin Nan.
A horse-drawn carriage drove into the village, and all the villagers came out to see what was going on.
Everyone was shocked to see Scholar He helping Lin Nan down.
"Just park the carriage in the courtyard," Sheng Yuan instructed.
"Yes, master."
Sheng Yuan ignored the shock of those people and led Lin Nan into the courtyard.
"I need to go to the village chief's house. You stay home and read for a while. As for dinner..."
【say! 】
Nuonuo quickly replied, "My lord, I can cook, and I cook very well!"
Lin Nan thought he was insecure and wanted to show off, just like she was on her first day at her husband's house. So she said to Sheng Yuan, "Husband, let Nuonuo cook. Let's try his cooking."
"it is good."
The sound echoed from afar.
Sheng Yuan set off for the village chief's house.
"Oh, what brings Scholar He here at this hour?" The village chief was somewhat surprised to see him.
"This junior thanks the village chief for his care over the years, and has brought some gifts to express my gratitude." Sheng Yuan took the gifts from the groom and personally handed them to the village chief.
Inside were some tonics; the village chief was getting old, and these things were most suitable for him.
"How can this be?" Although she said that, she still took it honestly.
Sheng Yuan thought the village chief was quite responsible, and the village was lucky to have such a chief.
“I have another matter to discuss. My family owns a lot of land, and I plan to hire farmers. I would like to trouble the village chief for his help with this matter.”
In the past, the village chief would have considered whether he could afford it, but today he heard that Shengyuan came back by carriage and brought these gifts, so he must not be short of money.
But we still need to find out where he got the money, in case he did something wrong, he won't be able to explain it to Mr. and Mrs. He.
After all, Brother He had helped him before.
Hearing that Shengyuan had made some money by selling the valuable medicinal herbs he had gathered in the back mountain, he felt relieved, but still reminded him to be frugal, focus on his studies, and live a good life.
The village chief agreed to Shengyuan's request and immediately asked his son to find some people.
Sheng Yuan thought these people were all good, so he signed a contract with them.
"This is your household registration; you've already settled in." The village chief handed the household registration to Sheng Yuan.
This household registration certificate proves that Lin Nan is his husband, and it is recognized by the government.
In this way, Lin Nan was not a substitute bride, but her rightful husband.
"Thank you, village chief."
"No need. You two just live your lives well. It's good that I didn't tie the wrong knot."
"Ah."
After exchanging a few more words, Sheng Yuan went back.
When Sheng Yuan returned to the courtyard, Lin Nan was practicing calligraphy in the study.
The dim light illuminated Lin Nan's handsome face. Lin Nan was still wearing the clothes Sheng Yuan had given him, and he looked serious, writing with more skill than yesterday.
Sheng Yuan quietly walked behind him, wrapped his arms around his waist, and rested his head on his shoulder.
"Husband? When did you return? I didn't even notice!"
"Just now, my husband's eyes were only on these writing brushes and ink. I wonder if I'll still have a place as his husband in the future~"
I felt a little wronged, and a little bitter.
Lin Nan felt that something was off about those words, so she put down her brush, turned around and hugged Sheng Yuan, looked up at him seriously and said, "My husband is the most important person in my heart."
Upon hearing these words, Sheng Yuan felt a sweet warmth in his heart and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss him.
Sheng Yuan supported his buttocks and placed him on the table so that it would be easier to kiss him.
Lin Nan couldn't help but reach out and hug Sheng Yuan's neck, indulging in the kiss with abandon and passion. The sound of splashing water could be heard in the room.
After a long while, Sheng Yuan finally released him, letting him lean against him and breathe rapidly.
Nuonuo bought it from the system shop for dinner. It can't cook, it can only eat. Anyway, it's all the host's points. With the director giving it preferential treatment, it doesn't feel bad using it. Shengyuan knew but didn't say anything.
After dinner, Sheng Yuan took Lin Nan to meet the two main characters.
Gu Shuqiao and Shen Yunzhao moved to a small, relatively remote house in the village.
He looked a bit disheveled. But who knows what the real situation was?
"Brother He, brother-in-law." Gu Shuqiao's face was somewhat pale.
Sheng Yuan had expected that he hadn't taken the antidote.
"I'm here to give you startup funding. I hope you won't let me down."
"Of course not, I'm confident of that."
Gu Shuqiao looked at the contract and the silver note with one thousand taels of silver, carefully checked the contract, and asked Shen Yunzhao to sign it.
Officials should not compete with the people for profit, and besides, he had not yet given Shen Yunzhao a decent betrothal gift.
"There are only three months left until the provincial examination. You should start preparing," Sheng Yuan said to him.
Gu Shuqiao was quite knowledgeable about business, but as a science student, he wasn't very good at poetry and literature. He said, "Isn't this... a bit too fast?"
"The imperial court is currently in dire need of talent, so they might favor arithmetic skills over poetry and prose. I will tutor you to ensure you have the title of Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examinations) before I leave the county. It's very dirty here." Most importantly, he is the protagonist and will most likely not fail the selection, but whether he can achieve the triple crown of passing the imperial examinations depends on his abilities.
Gu Shuqiao still trusted this Scholar He quite a bit.
So he nodded.
After finishing their discussion, Sheng Yuan left with Lin Nan.
Lin Nan only partially understood their conversation, but that didn't matter. He could remember it now and deal with it later when he understood it.
I came back mainly to pack my luggage, and books are the most important thing.
When they returned, Nuonuo had already boiled water. Shengyuan told Lin Nan to go wash first, while he went to the study to tidy up.
Sheng Yuan entered the study and, by candlelight, finished his final holiday assignments. With a flick of his finger, he neatly packed up all his belongings and left the study.
In two days, it will be time to return to the academy, and a new story will begin.
As usual, the two fell asleep in each other's arms, and slept soundly through the night without any dreams.
The next day, the four of them calmly loaded their belongings onto the carriage and prepared to leave.
Inside the carriage, Sheng Yuan held Lin Nan in his arms, answering his questions and resolving his doubts.
The kittens in this world love to learn!
The two were chatting enthusiastically when the carriage suddenly stopped.
"what happened?"
“When we returned home, a girl stopped the carriage.”
