Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister
Chapter 64 The Dean is Very Clever
It ran quite fast, but failed to generate revenue.
Lin Shuyun withdrew her gaze with some regret, found a pair of old embroidered shoes in the room and put them on, as the original pair was no longer wearable.
Then, with the coal briquettes on his shoulder, he prepared to head to the county town.
"Changtian's wife, are you alright? Where's Dachong?"
Lin Shuyun was locking the door when a large group of villagers arrived, carrying sickles and axes, looking menacing.
The village chief was the one who asked the question, and he immediately stumped her.
"What kind of big worm?"
"Just now, Li San's family saw a big, snarling tiger at your doorstep. Didn't you see it?!" The village chief cautiously looked around.
The tiger hasn't come down the mountain to harm anyone for so many years. Could it be that there's no food left in the mountains and it wants to come down to eat people?
The closest house to the mountain is this young couple's yard.
Lin Shuyun shook her head, "I didn't see it. Aunt Li must be seeing things."
The tiger took off running and disappeared in a flash.
Aunt Li said confidently, "How could that be? Everyone heard me call out."
Many people agreed, but judging from the looks of it, they probably went back to the mountains.
"Hey, are you going out?" Jiang Shoutian suddenly asked from the crowd.
Lin Shuyun then noticed Jiang Shoutian and Jiang Laosan in the crowd.
Hunting down tigers naturally requires the entire village to contribute.
Lin Shuyun didn't have a good impression of Jiang Shoutian, but he was still better than the rest of the Jiang family. She nodded and said, "Yes, my husband has gone to the academy to study. I'll go to the county to find a job to earn his tuition."
"Your husband has gone to school again?" someone in the village asked in surprise.
They've already separated from their families, how can they still afford to go to school? They all think that studying is not very useful.
Jiang Changtian has been studying for so many years but hasn't achieved anything, and he almost lost his life in the process.
Now that he's married and his injuries have healed, why doesn't he settle down, have a child, and continue his studies?
"Hmm." Lin Shuyun nodded, not saying anything more, regardless of what the villagers thought.
Jiang Shoutian lowered his head in guilt. Jiang Laosan followed behind Jiang Shoutian and secretly glanced at Lin Shuyun before quickly lowering his head again.
Seeing that there were no tigers, everyone went home. It was getting late, and it was time to go back for dinner and sleep.
Aunt Li didn't leave. She spoke to Lin Shuyun, "Changtian is so lucky to have married you. I have a pair of cloth shoes that were too small. They look about the same size as your feet. If you don't mind, you can wear them."
She had originally come to deliver cloth shoes, but when she saw the tiger from afar, she was so frightened that she turned around and ran away. When she got back, she called for people to grab weapons.
Aunt Li took out a pair of black shoes with thick soles, which looked very sturdy.
It was leftover fabric from when Lin Shuyun asked her to make clothes last time. She used the extra fabric to make a set of clothes for her son, and then used the remaining fabric to make shoe uppers. But she didn't expect that the shoes would be too small.
Since none of the other family members' feet fit, she thought of Lin Shuyun.
Neighbors always exchange gifts; she gave Lin Shuyun a pair of shoes, and she'll need Jiang Changtian to write couplets for her when the New Year comes.
"Thank you, Auntie, it looks beautiful!"
Lin Shuyun tried them on right away, and the size was just right. The key was that they were much sturdier than the shoes she wore. Now she shouldn't have a duck's beak anymore.
Aunt Li laughed, "They're not as nice as the ones on your feet. They don't even have a flower on them. Did you make these shoes yourself? You're so skillful."
"My mother made it for me." Lin Shuyun smiled shyly; she wasn't very good at needlework.
The Li family has excellent needlework; their clothes, from childhood to adulthood, are always better than those of other families, regardless of whether they are sons or daughters.
Especially the clothes and shoes she made for her daughter, she embroidered flowers wherever possible.
Aunt Li looked up at the sky. "It's getting late. Are you going to the county town at this hour?"
“I’ve hired a car, so we can get there in town. I’m worried about leaving my husband alone in the county town.” Lin Shuyun hugged the coal briquettes on her shoulder.
The coal ball nestled quietly into her arms.
Aunt Li wanted to say that black cats were unlucky, but then thought that saying it would be annoying. She figured it was someone else's freedom to keep a pet, so she told Lin Shuyun to be careful on the road and left.
Seeing that no one was around, Lin Shuyun went around to the back of the courtyard to drive the carriage.
As soon as the car started moving, Ke Xiuming, who had been dozing off, was jolted awake.
Lifting the carriage curtain, I saw this young lady whipping the horse to speed up, and I almost stumbled and fell.
After finally regaining my balance, the car had already reached the entrance of the village.
Ke Xiuming said with a resentful look, "It's almost dark, it's so late at night, aren't you planning to rest for the night before leaving?"
"I'm worried about my husband, let's leave sooner rather than later." Lin Shuyun didn't look at Ke Xiuming, and the carriage sped up even more.
Ke Xiuming was both hungry and heartbroken. How could such a beautiful young woman have ended up with that cripple? Why wasn't she his wife?
But then he thought about how this old lady could play with snakes, poison them, and even kill a big man with her bare hands, and he shuddered.
Let's forget about it; his small frame can't take much of a strain.
There was no one on the road at night. Lin Shuyun rushed to catch the bus, while Ke Xiuming covered his mouth in the car, almost throwing up the food he had eaten the day before.
We were delayed a bit when entering the county town, and by the time we arrived at the inn, the sun was already high in the sky. We happened to run into Old Man Xu.
"Yun girl, you're back?! Where did this carriage come from? Did you buy another carriage?"
Old Xu was wearing a big straw hat early in the morning, and he happily came to greet Lin Shuyun as soon as he saw her.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Xiuming climbed out of the carriage, his face deathly pale.
"It's mine, yue~"
Then he squatted by the roadside and dry heaved.
Old Xu glanced at Ke Xiuming several times. "Who is this kid? You've taken a fancy to him? He's not as good-looking as Jiang Changtian."
Lin Shuyun: "...This is Boss Ke."
Old Xu muttered that he didn't recognize her, and then started circling around Lin Shuyun.
"I've cancelled the inn room reservation. I've checked out the courtyard you asked me to rent. It's five taels of silver a month. I'll take you to see it."
"So expensive?" Lin Shuyun raised an eyebrow, flicking her riding crop.
Old Xu jumped up and down, "This is expensive? Others are seventy or eighty taels, and this is the price I bargained down. Renting a courtyard in town costs five taels."
Where is my husband?
"I just went to the academy."
……
Classes officially started at the academy today.
Jiang Changtian was assigned to Feng Fuzi's class.
There are four classes of students who have passed the entrance exam; all of them are candidates for this year's provincial examination.
The academy is newly established and still in its early stages; it will likely recruit promising students in different tiers in the future.
During the lecture, Master Feng was very serious, and Jiang Changtian listened attentively. After class, Jiang Changtian was summoned to see the dean.
Jiang Changtian wondered why the dean wanted to see him, but he still followed the people from the academy to the dean's courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, the person who led the way told him to wait at the entrance. Five or six students were preparing to leave; the room door was closed, and there were sounds of conversation coming from inside.
Jiang Changtian thought to himself, "It seems the dean has seen more than just him."
"Go back and study hard."
Inside the room, Dean Bai dismissed the anxious student, took a sip of tea, and said, "Next."
The next one is Jiang Changtian.
He wanted to see what kind of young man would be treated differently by his master.
But for a dean to suddenly meet with an ordinary student is bound to raise eyebrows.
Luckily, he was very clever and came up with a brilliant idea.
