Happiness System
Chapter 29: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (28)
"Is Jingheng free during this month's break?"
Nanny Li's education was quite effective. In addition to the change in temperament, Qin Yunxi also changed a lot in other aspects.
Look, the lazy woman who used to have difficulty getting up has become a good wife. She gets up early in the morning to help her husband get dressed and is preparing to send him to school!
Mu Jingheng grabbed her hand that was fiddling with her clothes and said with a smile, "Brother Ziheng said that if we don't go to see the late lotus at Crescent Moon Lake outside the city, it will wither. He planned to hold a poetry meeting there, but I didn't respond. Do you want to go out for fun? If you don't want to see the late lotus, it would be nice to go to Wanling Temple to see the maple leaves. Or maybe you want to go to Main Street to make two new clothes?"
Qin Yunxi pulled back her hand and lightly hit his chest, saying angrily, "It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, but the weather hasn't gotten any cooler. It's making people so hot and tired, who would want to go out and have fun?
My embroidery is finished and I want to send it to the embroidery workshop.
Didn’t people in my hometown say that the bad weather this year has affected the harvest, and the ancestral hall was also damaged by the heavy rain a while ago?
If I get a lot of money this time, in addition to the holiday gifts, I can also bring some money back to repair it.
And our house has been unoccupied for several months, and I don’t know if it has been damaged or not.”
Mu Jingheng hugged her in his arms and sighed, "Thank you for your trouble. The day after tomorrow, Xiaoxiu, I will accompany you to the embroidery workshop and then to the silver shop. If the shopkeeper likes the designs this time, I will make some jewelry for you."
Qin Yunxi didn't say no, she stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the face, saying, "Husband, you are so nice."
Mu Jingheng's smile instantly spread across his face. Ever since Nanny Li left, his wife had finally opened her heart to him and was finally willing to call him husband.
Seeing that Mu Jingheng was about to come up to her, Qin Yunxi quickly supported his chest with her hands and said, "Stop making trouble! Go have breakfast quickly, don't be late!"
For fear of angering others, Mu Jingheng could only give up with regret.
Before leaving, he said, "The teacher has been busy with the schoolmates' exams these days, and has not been able to take care of us in the academy. I will ask for two days off. After we finish the embroidery work, we will leave the city and stay at Wanling Temple for two days. It will be cool and refreshing in the mountains, and my wife will definitely be happy."
Qin Yunxi hummed softly, then looked up at him and said, "Are you sure you don't want to try this year's prefectural exam? It would be fine to get a feel for it and gain some experience."
Mu Jingheng smiled and shook his head and said, "Go back. Xiangwu will take you to eat on the main street."
Seeing him get on the carriage, Qin Yunxi stood there in a daze, watching the carriage go away.
She asked the system: "00, have I been assimilated by this era?"
The system didn't know how to answer. Ever since Nanny Li came, the host had locked it up in a small dark room and had only let it out for two days.
It had been locked up in the small dark room and had been very well behaved. It was afraid of being locked up in the small dark room again, and even more afraid that the host would be dissatisfied with its answer, so it committed suicide in rebellion to end the mission.
Fortunately, Qin Yunxi didn't really want an answer. Seeing that the small system didn't respond, she turned around and went back to the house. She had to pack up the embroidery and drawings. This was related to the quality of life of their family in the second half of the year or even in the next one or two years.
"Wow, host, your craftsmanship is getting more and more sophisticated. If you return to your original world in the future and you don't want to go to work, why don't you start a live broadcast and show off your skills as a master of intangible cultural heritage? Otherwise, you will have no food to eat!" The little system always felt that it had to say something.
Qin Yunxi hummed uninterestedly, but what she was thinking in her heart was that if she really became an Internet celebrity, her parents would be so desperate to suck her blood that they would never be able to separate!
After putting everything in order, she picked up the needle and thread and started a new embroidery.
Whether returning to the real world or in this world, life must go on!
Mu Jingheng came back in less than an hour. This time he didn't bring anyone with him and went to the main street alone with Qin Yunxi.
Qin Yunxi exchanged her two birthday embroidery pieces for three hundred and fifty taels of silver, plus the twenty taels of deposit that was returned, she received a total of three hundred and fifty taels.
However, Qin Yunxi also ordered two sets of autumn clothes for each person in the family, and bought some cloth and needles and thread, spending more than thirty taels of silver.
"This silver money is really not durable. I was just happy that I changed a lot of money this time, but in a blink of an eye, I spent 10% of it!" Qin Yunxi sighed as she stepped out of Yuan Embroidery Workshop.
"Actually, I wear student uniform every day, so there is really no need to buy such good clothes." Mu Jingheng shook his head.
Of the more than thirty taels just now, nearly thirty taels were spent on him.
"Respect the clothes first, then the person! Now that our family has established a firm foothold in the south of the desert, you have started to socialize with people on a daily basis, especially the group of people from the Ning family...
Now that my husband is associating with them, it would be bad for people to think that he is degrading himself and is like a slave who follows them in the hope of currying favor with the rich and powerful.
Although I know that my husband's talent and character can impress others, there are always some who think highly of themselves, and some who judge others by their own standards and have bad intentions. "
"My lady, you are worrying too much. Everyone is wearing student uniforms. Except for Brother Ziheng and his friends who have an innate noble aura, there is no difference."
Although his wife was thinking about him, Mu Jingheng felt that she was worrying too much.
The student uniforms of the Mo Nan Academy are all made of the same material. There is no difference when they are worn by everyone except that they are new or old.
Of course, when there are so many people, there will naturally be comparisons and disputes, as well as some malicious looks and rumors.
But he was determined to do better in the next provincial examination, and even wanted to get good results, so his eyes and energy naturally could not be focused on these mundane matters.
Besides, although he is ambitious, he does not have strong material desires.
After a few casual words, the couple arrived at Jinyuan Silver Shop.
This time, the drawings they submitted were a set of eight pieces with the peony flower as the theme, and they were exchanged for 160 taels.
Mu Jingheng took out a set of six orchid hairpin drawings from his bosom and asked Jinyuan Silver House to make them for him.
He painted this for Qin Yunxi and did not intend to sell it.
Qin Yunxi was a little amused and helpless as half of the one hundred and sixty taels he had just obtained was gone.
Are they spending money on this competition?
"I barely wore the jewelry I bought last time, why waste the money!" She complained, but she was very happy in her heart. It felt great to be cared for by others!
"What woman doesn't like jewelry? Even if you don't wear it, you'll be happy to see it in your dressing table." Mu Jingheng squeezed her hand and led her to the restaurant.
The restaurant he took Qin Yunxi to was actually next door to the one Yin Bao chose last time, but the prices were much higher.
Perhaps seeing that Qin Yunxi was worried about the money, Mu Jingheng picked up a piece of duck in sauce and put it in her bowl, saying with a smile: "It is said that the father of the chef of this restaurant was the imperial chef in Kyoto. Madam, please try the taste of this dish. It's only because Yinbao and Xiaoming are not at home, otherwise, according to their appetite, I would not dare to choose this restaurant for dinner."
Qin Yunxi picked up the duck meat and tasted it carefully, then looked up and said with a smile, "It's delicious, really worth the money! Don't tell your two brothers about it when you go back, or you won't be able to keep your wallet."
Mu Jingheng's face was filled with joy, and he picked up two other dishes for her.
It is true that Qin Yunxi felt sorry for the money, but she was also really happy eating. Mu Jingheng selected these dishes according to her taste.
After finishing their meal, the two of them called a taxi and went back to the courtyard.
After selecting two pieces of fine cotton cloth at a nearby cloth shop, as well as some delicious pastries and Mo Nan's specialty wine, the couple returned home.
Seeing that Qin Yunxi was a little sleepy, Mu Jingheng gently pushed her to the bedroom, "Madam, go and rest first. I'll go to the study to write a letter, then send the letter and the festival gift to the post station, and bring twenty taels to the clan. On the way, I'll go to the braised meat shop and tell Yinbao to take good care of Xiaoming for the next two days. I'll call you when I come back. By then, the carriage we ordered should be here soon."
Qin Yunxi yawned, turned around and asked, "Are we really going to Wanling Temple? Isn't twenty taels too little?"
Mu Jingheng simply half-hugged her and led her inside, saying to her, "Really? This money is earned by your hard work, twenty taels is not a small amount. Many people in the village can't even earn twenty taels in their entire lives."
Besides, he also had his own considerations. They had been away from the village for only half a year. From a poor scholar who could not afford to eat to being sent back to the clan with only twenty taels left, the gap was already huge.
Any more would be too much.
Qin Yunxi was naturally not short of money, but she felt that the clan concept was very strong in this era, and the clan leader wrote a letter to talk about so many things, so she didn't think twice.
She had no feelings for either the Mu family or the Qin family. Mu Jingheng thought it was okay, so she naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's business.
After waking up, Mu Jingheng happened to push the door open.
Qin Yunxi rubbed his eyes, sat up, and asked him, "Are you ready to go out now that you have finished your work?"
"Everything is ready. Madam, get up and eat some snacks to fill your stomach. In two minutes it will be the time agreed with the coachman." As he said this, he sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to lift her scattered hair behind her ears.
"You said it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, but why hasn't it gotten colder yet? I feel so hot that I don't have any energy." Qin Yunxi leaned her head on his shoulder.
Mu Jingheng chuckled and said, "This year is a little unusual. If it's cool in the mountains, why don't we stay a few more days and come back after the prefectural exam is over?"
"Won't this interfere with your studies?"
"Sir, your mind has been on your classmates taking the provincial examination these days. There has been no school examination for us. I'll bring my books with me. The quiet mountains are a good place to read and think." As he spoke, he pulled Qin Yunxi up from the bed.
Qin Yunxi washed her face and changed her clothes before she finally came to her senses.
Maybe because she ate too much at noon, she didn't have much appetite, so she sat aside with a round fan and watched Chun Xing wrap the snacks with oil paper.
Chun Xing was born in a small county town and grew up at home until she was eight years old. She was sold to Mo Nan City because her brother needed money to marry.
Later, because of her pleasing appearance and cleverness, she was noticed by her former master and was trained in the mansion for three years as a maidservant for the eldest lady.
Before the fall of her former master's family, she had never even left the house except when she came to Mo Nan City, so she was more nervous and excited about this trip than Qin Yunxi.
Perhaps thinking of the rules, Chun Xing tried to correct her attitude, restrain her expression, and asked respectfully, "Master, Madam, do you have any other things you would like to take with you?"
"See if you have brought some thicker clothes, so you won't get cold in the mountains if the weather changes."
Qin Yunxi was speechless every time she heard this title, but there were no serious elders in the Mu family, so there was nothing wrong with calling them Master and Madam, but it made her look old!
Chun Xing responded and went to check the luggage immediately.
