Happiness System
Chapter 35: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (34)
"What do you mean by things outside?"
Zhong Lin and Wan Fangfang were confused. Help! They came here to learn from others, not to eat dog food!
Qin Yunxi said innocently, "For example, going to the carriage shop to order a carriage. Apart from buying groceries, most of the things that require going out are things that need to be done outside."
Zhong Lin and Wan Fangfang: “???” Is this how you understand it?
Xu Tong on the side nodded sadly. That's right. It was only after she got married that she redefined the concept of 'women stay at home and men go outside'.
When she went back and told her mother about it, she applauded and said that this was how it should be, so that these stinky men would be so tired that they would have no time to think about those frivolous things.
Those men are just because women take care of everything and serve men too comfortably, leaving them too idle and having the time and energy to mess around...
Zhong Lin and Wan Fangfang felt that the patriarchal concepts they had been exposed to since childhood were challenged. They returned home dizzy, and then found that they seemed to dislike the men in their family!
Mu Jingheng attended the autumn banquet three days after the announcement of the results and took back his Juren documents. He then participated in several poetry gatherings of varying sizes.
Fortunately, they did not have any property to deal with, and the only house and shop were left to the teacher and his wife. The rest was just to pack up their belongings and prepare food for the journey.
The day after the results of the provincial examination were announced, Mu Jingheng had already gone to the carriage inn and the escort agency to book a carriage and an escort.
I started packing the things that need to be taken away from home a long time ago, so now I am not busy at all.
While Mu Jingheng was out for a poetry reading, Qin Yunxi settled all the shop's bills, then took his wife to the store and told the shop assistants that they had changed owners.
Originally, she wanted to take her master's wife to the yamen to change the contract, but her master's wife refused.
The house and the shop were still registered under Qin Yunxi's name, but the property deeds and the deeds of the cook and the chef were handed over to the master's wife.
Master's wife Fu Wanrou said: Their life is indeed not going well right now, so they should shamelessly accept the filial piety from their disciples. If one day they want to go back to Mo Nan, she and the master will definitely return the shop and the house immediately.
Qin Yunxi conceded that although some of the snack recipes in the shop were inspired by the master's wife, they naturally also had their own self-esteem and pride.
If it were three years ago, Fu Wanrou would definitely not care about this small house and shop.
But they were indeed in a difficult situation at the moment. The family of three lived in two rooms allocated by the academy, and shared the same courtyard with two gentlemen from the academy and their families.
Even if scholars want to maintain their reputation, there are always bumps and bruises when living together, and the noisy environment is not conducive to Ke Beichen's recuperation.
At night, Qin Yunxi leaned against Mu Jingheng's arms and said, "I see that the teacher and his wife are from aristocratic families. The teacher and his senior brother are stunning. In time, they will surely be reborn like a phoenix. How could their families and relatives watch them flee to the south of the desert and fall into such a predicament?"
Mu Jingheng thought for a while before saying, "The Ke family is involved in the dispute over the crown prince, and they are too busy to take care of the teachers. It is not easy for them to intervene in the matter of the people the teachers have offended. Letting the teachers be exiled to Mo Nan is the best outcome.
After leaving Mo Nan, don't mention your teacher's family anymore, and there is no need to exchange letters. Just keep the friendship between us in your heart.
This is what the sirs mean. We are in decline, just small figures from a small place, and we cannot get involved in those things."
Qin Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. The imperial power was unreasonable. The royal family's power to kill was too great.
She sighed, "I feel panic for no reason when I think about how we will be ants once we enter Kyoto.
My husband has become a scholar at this age. No matter where he is, he is young and promising. Am I being too eager for quick success by forcing you to make progress?"
Think about it, Mu Jingheng was only twenty-three years old. In the main storyline, he was nearly thirty years old when he went to Kyoto.
At that time, Mu Jingheng had gone through layers of trials and tribulations. He was mature and resolute in mind, but also cold and ruthless in his methods.
At that time, the competition for the crown prince was at its peak, and he climbed up very fast with his fierceness...
Thinking of that she sighed again. Her original intention was to pass the imperial examination as early as possible and then seek a transfer to a distant place, away from Kyoto.
Now, there is a feeling that they have already been involved in the game.
To be honest, she is very satisfied with her current life. She doesn't want to do any tasks or die young.
"A good man should be upright and make a career to protect his wife and children. How could my wife force me to do that? Besides, once we leave Mo Nan, my wife might find that I am nothing special.
Except for the children of aristocratic families, there are very few people who can pass the imperial examination on their first try. As your husband, I am not sure that I will be that exception.
Maybe we will stay in Kyoto for three years or even longer.
Don't worry, my lady. We are just ordinary people. We are not in the eyes of those people. We just need to live our lives well no matter where we are. "
On the day of departure for Kyoto, Mu Jingheng took Qin Yunxi to the academy to kowtow to the teacher and his wife.
After this farewell, I don’t know if there will be a chance for us to meet again.
It was Fu Wanrou who came out. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Your teacher doesn't like parting, so he won't come out to see you. You guys take good care of yourself!"
"I hope that the teacher and his wife will still be as beautiful as ever when we meet next time, and I hope that my senior brother will be in good health!"
With tears in her eyes, Qin Yunxi handed the key of the courtyard to Fu Wanrou, bowed and turned to leave.
In the past two years, she and Mu Jingheng have experienced the love and care of their parents from Ke Xinglan and Fu Wanrou, making up for the shortcomings of their childhood.
Afraid that she would be even more reluctant, she didn't even dare to look back.
Feeling reluctant and confused, Qin Yunxi couldn't muster up any energy.
Mu Jingheng rubbed her head, opened the car window and said, "My dear, look at the maple leaves on the road, they have all turned yellow. You don't like to go out, so you have missed this beautiful view for three years.
See that pavilion over there?
There is a Beauty Lake over there where you can go boating.
Last autumn, Brother Ziheng held a poetry meeting there, saying that there is no such beautiful golden maple forest in Kyoto..."
"My husband, do you know the phrase 'sadness over the passing of spring and autumn'?" Qin Yunxi's tears, which she had finally stopped, began to fall again.
Mu Jingheng was so frightened that he immediately closed the car window tightly and hugged the person in his arms to comfort him again and again.
After a long while, Qin Yunxi fell asleep due to crying, and Mu Jingheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When they left Qinghe and Qingteng, his wife was very happy. Why did she start crying when they left Mo Nan?
Qin Yunxi was already feeling carsick, and coupled with his bad mood, he looked extremely depressed.
On the third day, Mu Jingheng finally couldn't stand it anymore and went to take Cao Yu and Li Hua's son back.
The little guy's sweet voice and childish words are so adorable, but these two are so naughty when they are together.
Neither the couple had any experience in taking care of children. After half a day, they were both busy and exhausted.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Qin Yunxi immediately asked Mu Jingheng to return the child to the owner.
It’s even more of a headache to think about Yinbao saying that he wanted to have a football team and give half of the money to them!
Children are the most terrifying creatures in the world!
Thinking of the baby in Xu Tong's belly, Qin Yunxi waited for Mu Jingheng to come back, and immediately pulled him aside and said, "I don't know what the house that Nanny Li found for us will be like. If it's too small, you can put other things aside and look for a bigger house first.
We don't have any elders in our family, so we must hire a nanny to help take care of the child, and we must also find a maid for Atong, and buy a maid to cook and clean...
Not only is the house too small to accommodate everyone, but when the baby is born, if he cries a lot, won’t it bother you and Xiao Ming from studying?"
Seeing that she had finally perked up, Mu Jingheng quickly responded with a smile, then took her out of the carriage for a walk, saying that he was seeking inspiration for his drawing.
Nearing noon, the escort agency's chef had already found a place near a water source and set up a large iron pot to prepare lunch.
This was Qin Yunxi's idea, but the escort agency originally had this hidden service, but it required extra money and few people knew about it.
After all, wealthy families have their own cooks, and small families mostly bring their own dry food, and they seldom travel in a hurry like they do on spring outings.
The people in other carriages also got off to stretch their legs. Qin Yunming and Mu Nan started playing with Li Hua and Cao Yu's children.
Looking at the slowly flowing stream, Qin Yunxi relaxed a lot. Seeing that the wild flowers by the stream were growing well, she asked Mu Jingheng to pick some for her.
Finally, she picked out the ones she liked and made them into a bouquet, planning to put it in the carriage later. She made the rest into a small wreath and put it on Li Hua's daughter's head, which made the little girl very happy.
"You are really good at having fun!" Zhong Lin looked at Qin Yunxi holding the bouquet with some envy in his eyes.
But in the next moment she held her belly and laughed again. She had an uncle who was a businessman, and every time they went to her grandmother's house, everyone would ask him about what was going on outside.
So she had the impression that the journey would be very tiring, but she didn't expect that this trip would be not so bad except that she was confined to the small carriage when walking.
Although the fees of the escort and the cost of renting a carriage were not low, they were not in a hurry and had no other partners, so the itinerary was calculated by the escort.
At this speed, even she and Xu Tong, who were pregnant, did not feel uncomfortable, and they did not have to stay outdoors at night...
It’s really good to have money!
Normally it would take about ten days to walk to Kyoto, but they were slow and had to stop at noon every day to cook, so the walking time was much shorter. It took them fifteen days to reach Kyoto.
