Happiness System
Chapter 13: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (2)
When they were almost at Qingteng, Mu Jingheng noticed that Qin Yunxi's temperature suddenly rose. He turned his head and saw that her brows were furrowed and her face was abnormally flushed.
His heart tightened at the moment, and he stretched out his hand to open the window a little. He found that he was outside Qingteng County, so he shouted to the front: "Uncle, my wife is sick, please hurry up!"
"Okay, sir!" the coachman replied and whipped the carriage again, driving it towards another entrance of the city gate.
In most places, there is no entrance fee. Locals queue up to enter with their ID cards, and outsiders queue up to enter with passes.
Of course you don't have to queue. There are fast lanes in every city, but the prices are not cheap at all. As long as you are willing to spend the money, you can get into the city very quickly when there are many people.
What Mu Jingheng meant by fast was taking the fast lane, and of course they had to bear the driver's head fee.
There happened to be no one in front, so the driver drove the car directly to the checkpoint. As soon as the car stopped, a guard came forward to check the pass and tolls.
The driver hurriedly took out his ID card, then took it back and opened the door.
"Take out your pass, two cents and fifty coins for five people!" The guard glanced inside and saw a young man hugging a young woman with a flushed face, and he understood that the carriages of the coach inn almost never go through this intersection.
"Thank you for your help. Please have tea for the rest of the money." Mu Jingheng took out travel passes and a dime for several people and handed them over.
The guard was used to receiving silver, so he took it and shook it in his hands to make sure it was the right amount. He checked the introduction and returned it to the guard to make sure it was ok, then waved his hand and shouted "Open!"
As he stepped back, the checkpoint opened. The driver quickly closed the door, got in the car and drove towards the city. Seeing that the person inside had no special instructions, he took the person to the inn as agreed.
Fortunately, although the county exam was imminent, most people arrived one day in advance to save on hotel fees, so they easily rented a medium-sized room.
As for the Yinbao brothers, if they had no money left after seeing the doctor, they would have to sleep in a dormitory.
After sending the people and luggage to the room, Mu Jingheng told the two brothers to take good care of their sister, and then hurried out to call a doctor.
Originally, Yinbao could have been asked to leave, but his wife was right, most of the doctors were just based on the situation! If Yinbao, who was wearing rags, went to ask for help, the doctor sent by the clinic would definitely be the worst doctor!
As soon as Mu Jingheng left, Yin Bao looked around curiously, while Mu Daner lay beside Qin Yunxi and looked at her with a worried look on her face.
After all this trouble, Qin Yunxi woke up a long time ago, but she was still feverish and had no energy. Seeing this, she reached out and gently pinched Mu Dan'er's little face and said, "Sister is fine, don't worry."
Mudaner hummed and continued to stare at her with tears in his eyes, as if she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Qin Yunxi closed her eyes and locked the small system in the small dark room. This thing was simply Mu Jingheng's brainless urging! Whose husband would be indifferent when his wife was sick?
It’s so noisy, I really don’t have the energy to deal with it!
Fortunately, Mu Jingheng quickly brought back an old doctor. The old doctor was indeed capable and figured out the problem in just a few seconds.
However, the old doctor only prescribed two doses of medicine, and said it in a rather tactful way. Qin Yunxi's current body could not withstand the power of medicine and was not suitable for heavy tonic. He had to nourish himself with food first, and then adjust the condition after reaching a certain stage.
The price of the two prescriptions was also very reasonable, almost the same as the price prescribed by Doctor Kang, and he prescribed the medicine only after hinting about the price. Well, he is a good doctor with medical ethics!
But even so, they had very little money left, just enough to pay for two days' rent.
The lower room of the inn is a large bunk bed, and there is no hot water or shower service. Qin Yunxi glanced at her two younger brothers and thought that they would become even more slovenly and unacceptable after living there!
The middle room they lived in was not very big, and it cost two cents a day, which included three meals of white porridge, whole grain steamed buns and hot water.
She also felt uncomfortable with the two brothers here, so she asked Mu Jingheng to get a middle room for them. It was late after all the trouble today, and she really didn't have the energy to think about anything else.
Mu Jingheng was a man with a strong sense of territory, and he didn't like his two brothers-in-law staying here all the time. After seeing his wife take the medicine and fall asleep, he took them out and rented a new room.
The two rooms on the left and right sides had already been rented out. The last house they rented was three rooms away from them. Fortunately, it was not far away so they could hear anything if they shouted.
Soon after Qin Yunxi drank the medicine, the effect of the medicine took effect and she began to sweat. Mu Jingheng went to get some water and wiped her sweat over and over again.
This man has become more and more pampered recently. He is so sick that he can't even stand, but he still refuses to take the inn's quilts and insists that he change into those he brought from home before he is willing to lie down.
She's sweating so much. If I don't clean her up, she'll be angry again tomorrow.
It was not until late at night that Mu Jingheng breathed a sigh of relief and went to sleep after seeing her calm down and her brows relaxed.
Perhaps because she slept all day the day before, Qin Yunxi woke up early. She curled up in Mu Jingheng's arms. Mu Jingheng held her and his breath gently sprayed on her face.
Qin Yunxi was stunned. Alas, she could not control herself. Her body was too weak and she was cold even after sleeping for a long time. As long as he was around, she would involuntarily move towards him to find the heat source.
At first, when she woke up and there was someone next to her, she would be startled and unable to react, and even a little resistant. She was using someone else's body to sleep with someone else's husband. What was going on? It was weird!
But now she has given up on herself!
She didn't know how long she maintained this posture, until her body became a little stiff and she couldn't help but move.
"Awake?" The person next to him opened his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm hungry!" As he said this, his stomach growled appropriately.
She: "..."Thank you for proving that I didn't lie!
"My lady, please sleep a little longer. I will go buy some food." Mu Jingheng said as he quickly got up and put on his clothes.
"00, come out, what time is it now?" Qin Yunxi saw that everyone had left the house, and she couldn't sleep, so she released the small system.
"Ding, host, it is now 5:15 in the morning. The host really got up earlier than the chicken today..." Finally released, the little system was preparing to give a eloquent speech to practice its eloquence.
"Speak human language!" I'm too lazy to convert it, it's a waste of brains!
"Ding, host, it's six fifteen in the morning. Using your brain more will help your recovery!" The little system turned its back. It couldn't let the host see its mocking expression, or it would lock him up in a small dark room!
"Shut up! Go back and play by yourself!" Qin Yunxi waved at it.
"Ding, okay, host!" This time the host is not cute at all! The little system complained and floated away.
After the little cloud floated away, Qin Yunxi felt a rare sense of guilt, but not towards it, but towards Mu Jingheng.
It's so early and there's still rain outside. It's too much to ask someone to buy breakfast!
After a while, seeing Mu Jingheng coming back empty-handed, Qin Yunxi asked, "Is it because it's raining and you can't go out? Why don't you wait and see what the inn has to offer?"
"I haven't been to Qingteng for a long time, and I don't know which one is good, so I spent a few coins to ask the waiter to help me run errands." He smiled and joked with her: "My wife, you won't blame me for spending money recklessly, right?"
Qin Yunxi chuckled and replied, "These few cents are well spent. I was just about to praise my husband for being a smart guy!"
"Are you praising me? Why does it sound more like insulting me?" Mu Jingheng tapped her forehead lightly.
Qin Yunxi groaned and covered her forehead with her hands, "Are you not happy with the compliments?"
"It's raining heavily and windy outside. The weather is extremely abnormal. My lady, please don't catch a cold. If we call a doctor, we'll have to live on the street." As he said this, he pulled Qin Yunxi's hand down and stuffed it into the quilt.
"Oh? Will the rain last for a long time? That would waste a lot of time! Have you spent all your money?" Qin Yunxi obediently let him wrap her up tightly.
"It will probably take some time. The money is enough to pay for the room for the next two days, so don't worry, my lady." He told Qin Yunxi not to worry, but he was looking at the direction outside the door with a frown.
It was still the little system that exclaimed that the second male lead looked so handsome when he frowned. Only then did she realize that the rain was probably not normal and the situation was not as easy as he said.
Listening to the sound of rain outside, she thought for a while before saying, "When the rain is lighter, take out the embroidery and choose two ordinary ones to ask the price. Choose a more honest one and exchange them for some money for emergency use."
Mu Jingheng turned around and smiled, saying, "Everything my wife embroiders is excellent." Everything is good, there is no need to choose ordinary ones.
Qin Yunxi also laughed and said, "You have learned how to coax people! I just don't know how the prices are here? How long will it take for you to get the results after you finish the exam? We should first rent a house near the college, right? If there are too many people renting a house before then, the landlord will raise the price."
Mu Jingheng looked at her inexplicably and said, "Madam, are you so sure that I will pass the exam? Should I rent a house that you like or one close to the college? The college is secluded and it is not convenient for you to go out. Why don't you ask about the houses in the South City? And you know that the top five are eligible to enroll in the Fucheng College. Why don't you think bolder and let me take the top five?"
Qin Yunxi stared at him with eyes wide open: "Top five? Prefecture city?"
Mu Jingheng imitated her and hummed.
"My husband told the clan leader that we will win, so we will definitely win! Oh my God, in the top five! Then we have to stay in the inn before we go to the provincial capital. No, I don't like it!" Qin Yunxi reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
"My wife, I feel very pressured by your words!" Mu Jingheng was speechless. He was just joking, but his wife actually took it seriously!
"Hehe, my husband will definitely agree! Oh! I don't think this Qingteng is very good, but I didn't expect that my husband wanted to take us to the provincial capital! I just don't know if I can use the money well. No, Jingheng, remember you can only sell two pieces of embroidery first. You can figure it out when the money is not enough. You don't have to sell it here at a loss!" As she said that, she pulled his sleeve and shook it, and she was as happy as if she had already made it into the top five.
This is getting more and more outrageous!
Mu Jingheng felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
Luckily the waiter came back with breakfast but couldn't save him for the time being.
Because Qin Yunxi could only eat soft food that was easily digestible at the moment, and she didn't want to eat alone, she bought two wontons. As for her two younger brothers, she felt sorry for them because the inn had free white porridge and steamed buns!
It was still early, and Qin Yunxi was not sleepy after eating, so she pulled Mu Jingheng aside to ask him to learn some contemporary knowledge.
It was fine for her not to go out in the village before, but now she is in the county town and might even go to the provincial capital. When she is better, she will go out to play. It is not good for her to know nothing and have no common sense of the times. She might get herself into trouble if she is not careful.
Mu Jingheng breathed a sigh of relief. If they continued talking about the county exam, he might be able to win the first place.
fortunately! fortunately!
