Happiness System

Chapter 32: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (31)

These are the whole stories told by Qin Hu's family.

After knowing that her illness could not be cured, Grandmother Qin made some plans for her brother's family.

The first step was to give Qin Yunxi, the granddaughter, a drug that would make her infertile, and after screening, marry her to Mu Jingheng, the one with the greatest potential.

Qin Yunxi's biological parents are unreliable, and she has been brainwashed by her grandmother Qin since she was a child, so she has no affection for her parents and brothers.

The next step is to let Qin Hu's family come to recognize their relatives.

A woman would feel insecure without her mother's family. After Grandmother Qin died, she became an orphan with no one to rely on. Naturally, she couldn't stand up straight in her husband's family.

At this time, when Qin Hu's family came to recognize their relatives, Qin Yunxi would naturally feel extremely happy, and then she would naturally let Qin Jiayu grant her requests.

Mu Jingheng is the most promising and talented young man in the entire Qinghe Town. If he had not been in mourning for his grandfather's death, he might have already become a scholar.

After marrying Qin Yunxi, as her brother-in-law, he naturally had to support the scholars in the Qin family.

After another two or three years, when the Mu family discovers that Qin Yunxi is infertile, the Qin family can propose to adopt a child to them.

If the Mu family is unwilling, the Qin family can send a daughter to be a concubine to replace her sister Qin Yunxi to carry on the family line for Mu Jingheng.

In short, no matter how successful Mu Jingheng is, the couple can never get rid of Qin Hu's family.

But what Grandmother Qin didn't expect was that she would be mad at her own children, so much so that she didn't even have time to leave Qin Yunxi a will to tell her that her nominal grandfather was still alive and had given her several uncles and a lot of brothers and sisters.

She never expected that the original owner would become depressed and commit suicide just because she married a poor scholar with nothing at home.

Otherwise, according to the current family concept and the idea of ​​needing the support of brothers, Grandmother Qin's series of operations would undoubtedly be very successful.

Qin Yunxi felt complicated after finding out.

Fortunately, Mu Jingheng felt that he had few relatives and did not care much about having offspring, so he told Qin Yunxi on the spot that he would never take a concubine in this life. If Qin Yunxi liked children, they could adopt one after they settled down. If she did not like children, then the two of them would accompany each other for the rest of their lives.

Yinbao had even more complicated feelings.

He hated his parents, and hated Qin Hu's family even more. In order to prevent Qin Hu's family from taking over, after making sure that Mu Jingheng and Qin Yunxi had no plans to adopt children in the Mu family for the time being, he decided to get married early and have more children to give half of them to his sister.

Knowing Yin Bao's plan, Qin Yunxi was speechless again. There was no need for that!

But Yinbao insisted on his own way. He quickly locked on his target and chose Xu Tong, the second daughter of Mr. Xu, who owned the grocery store they often visited.

Xu Tong has a cute round face, a thin waist and a plump butt, and at first glance she looks like a girl who is good at giving birth to children.

Moreover, this woman always smiles at people and has sharp means, and is a good business person.

The most important thing is that they are of similar age, and Xu Tong also has some feelings for Yinbao.

Yinbao privately met with Xu Tong, and Xu Tong did not object to this strange request of giving half of the child to her elder sister-in-law.

So the two of them went to Bingming's house and said that they were going to get married.

Qin Yunxi's jaw almost dropped!

At that time, Yinbao was only seventeen and Xu Tong was only sixteen, which was still the age of underage love in Qin Yunxi's eyes.

Although in the countryside, everyone thinks it is better to get married early, because if you get married late you can only pick up what others have left, and there are many boys and girls who get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Qin Yunxi still found it difficult to accept.

But seeing that both of them were interested, Qin Yunxi had no choice but to agree.

The complicated rituals of accepting marriage proposal, asking for name, accepting good news, accepting betrothal gifts and asking for the date took only a year. While Yin Bao was impatient, Xu Tong was welcomed into the house in the spring.

After marriage, the couple ran the braised meat shop successfully.

After learning that the braised meat shop belonged to Yin Bao, Qin Yunxi only took back the cost when it started to make a profit, and did not even ask for dividends afterwards. Moreover, after that, the braised meat recipe came from Qin Yunxi, Xu Tong became even more respectful and obedient to her.

Sometimes Qin Yunxi couldn't tell whether this young wife was married by her or Yin Bao.

After learning that Mu Jingheng had passed the imperial examination, the couple decided to go to the capital, and Yinbao and his wife also expressed their desire to follow their sister and brother-in-law.

As for the braised meat shop, they had also agreed privately that they would sell it to Xu Tong's third brother when the time comes.

Xu Tong's mother's family owns two grocery stores, but she has three older brothers. Although their abilities are not as good as Xu Tong's, they are all responsible and capable of maintaining the business.

However, Yinbao and his wife did not reveal any information about this to the Xu family, and would only announce it after their brother-in-law Mu Jingheng passed the imperial examination.

The provincial examination is divided into three sessions, each lasting two days, with a two-day break in between.

By the time the last game was over, nearly half a month had passed.

Mu Jingheng was very lucky in all three exams as he did not draw a bad number and did not encounter a sudden drop in temperature.

After getting on the carriage and drinking the ginseng chicken soup that Qin Yunxi handed to him and that Yin Bao had cooked in the middle of the night, half of his fatigue was gone.

"Master Cao and Master Li came to our house yesterday and said that my husband must be very tired at this moment, so they decided not to come. They will come to have a drink with my husband after school in the afternoon."

There were only the couple in the car, while Yinbao and the driver were sitting outside.

Mu Jingheng held her in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and hummed softly.

Scientific examinations rely not only on talent and knowledge, but also test physical and mental patience.

How many people lose their mentality during the exam, and there are always students who cry and shout because they are forced out.

Although Mu Jingheng was determined, he was also very tired.

When he returned home, Chun Xing had already prepared hot water. After Mu Jingheng washed and bathed, he ate something casually and went to sleep.

In the afternoon, Mu Jingheng woke up and spent some time with Qin Yunxi, then went out to book a restaurant and hired a carriage to go to the gate of the academy to wait for Cao Yu and Li Hua.

There would be a curfew in the city at 11:00 p.m., so Qin Yunxi asked Yin Bao to go out and pick someone up at the end of 11:00 p.m.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yin Bao opened the door, he saw Mu Jingheng who was about to push the door open.

"Brother-in-law, you're back! My sister was afraid you were drunk, so she asked me to pick you up."

Seeing that he did not look drunk, Yinbao did not reach out to help him, but stepped aside to let him in.

Mu Jingheng did not go directly into the room to find Qin Yunxi, but asked Chun Xing to go in and get him a set of clothes. He took a bath and got rid of the smell of alcohol before entering the room.

Qin Yunxi looked up from her book when she noticed someone coming in. Seeing that it was Mu Jingheng, she smiled and said, "You're back. It's so late. I thought Yinbao would bring me a drunk husband."

"Don't worry, madam. Brother Zhuo Qi, a few other classmates and I were just discussing the time of the provincial exam and forgot the time. We didn't drink too much. But madam, why are you still reading so late? Aren't you afraid of hurting your eyes?" Mu Jingheng chuckled twice and took the book from her hand.

"This book is quite interesting. I just wanted to read it for a while, but I got so engrossed in it that I forgot the time."

Qin Yunxi would still go to the embroidery workshop to take on embroidery work in the next three years. After all, even a few thousand taels of silver might not be enough to make a big splash in Kyoto, so the more she could earn, the better. After the spring examination, when Mu Jingheng became an official, she would no longer be able to make money from this.

Embroidery is straining on the eyes, and the candlelight is too dim, so at night she usually takes care of her eyes, and she rarely reads or does embroidery.

"Oh? What is this book about? Is it about a young master who met a sexy ghost in the wild, or a poor scholar who was favored by a rich lady and his fate was changed, or is it about a real and fake daughter who was switched?" Mu Jingheng took a look at the book and did not see the eye-catching title.

"Haha, it's about the intrigues in the deep palace, and it's written so realistically, like an autobiography written by someone who came out of the deep palace. It's tense and brain-twisting to read.

Fortunately, I am not a daughter of a rich and powerful family, otherwise I would not survive more than two episodes in this palace, and I would not meet a husband as good as Jing Heng. "

Mu Jingheng lifted her chin and asked her with a bit of temptation: "Is this good? How is it good? Hmm?"

"That's it!" Qin Yunxi went up to him and kissed him.

***

After the palace examination, the life of the Mu family seemed to have not changed much.

Mu Jingheng and Qin Yunming still got up early every day to go to the academy, Yinbao and Xu Tong still ran their braised meat shop every day, and Qin Yunxi still did embroidery and read and wrote every day without fail.

If there is any difference, it is that the Mu family has quietly begun packing their luggage and preparing to enter Beijing.

On the day when the results of the provincial examination were announced, Yinbao got up early and made a sumptuous breakfast. Then, unable to sit still at home any longer, he ran to the government office to wait for the results.

Except for Qin Yunming who was going to a private school, everyone else looked speechlessly at Mu Jingheng and his wife who were sitting in the yard in rocking chairs, drinking tea and chatting about family matters.

"Master, how about I go to the government office to look for Master Qin?"

Mu Dong heard the happy team passing by, and then went to Mr. Mo's house three doors away. His heart sank, and he could no longer hold it in. He thought that maybe he could find out faster if he went to the government office instead of waiting at home.

Mu Dong was a farmer's son outside Mo Nan City. His original surname was Zhao and his name was Goudan. He also had a younger brother named Ludan.

His mother had a difficult labor when giving birth to a donkey egg and died after a few months. Not long after, his stepmother came into the family and his biological father became his stepfather.

After enduring seven years with his younger brother, he thought that life would be better if he could endure another two years when he grew up.

As a result, the harvest was poor for two consecutive years, and his father, instigated by his stepmother, planned to sell the two brothers.

Donkey Egg is young enough to be sold to a rich family to be a servant of a young master. But Goudan is already fourteen years old and too thin for his age, so the rich family doesn't want him and only sends him to the mines.

Upon learning of his father's plan, Goudan fled with Donkey.

Unfortunately, they had been hungry for two days and had no strength left, so they were caught by their father and his men.

The morals in their village are not very good. Selling children is nothing in the eyes of most people. On the contrary, people like the Goudan brothers who disobeyed their family's arrangements and ran away are considered to be extremely rebellious!

Mu Jingheng went out with his classmates and their teacher because of schoolwork, and they encountered two brothers who were beaten to death.
