Chapter 189

Lin Guoxiang didn't expect Xiucai to agree so easily, and she felt a little overwhelmed by posting it like this, and didn't know what to say for a while.

However, since some words have been spoken, they must be made clear, so Lin Guoxiang took a deep breath, and then slowly let it out before imitating the tone of a scholar and said slowly: "I know that we can't understand the things that happened before. Forget it, even though you don’t say it, you still care about it.” Otherwise, when Xiucai was drunk and mentioned the past, she would suddenly become so confused and concerned.

"I know." The scholar was silent for a while before saying.At the same time, I added a sentence in my heart: that was just deceiving myself and others, I just thought I could deceive myself and others, but in the end, not only were others not deceived, but even I was sulking, making both ends ungrateful.

Lin Guoxiang stretched out a finger and touched her nose, thought for a while, and said, "Well, we can't pretend that the previous incidents never happened, that's unrealistic. Let's not hide it Let’s just face it directly, don’t feel that if the other party feels uncomfortable and don’t mention it, it will only deepen the conflict and have no effect on solving the matter.”

After saying this, Lin Guoxiang felt a sudden breath of relief, and her whole body became more relaxed.In fact, she doesn't know how to get along with others, especially the opposite sex, but she personally thinks that the most important thing between people is to be honest with each other. If everything is hidden in their hearts, sooner or later there will be problems between them.Just like now, although there is no cold war or quarrel like others, those things in the past are stuck in the hearts of the two of them like a thorn, and it will hurt if you pull it a little.

This is even more serious than the cold war or quarrel, because the cold war or quarrel is at least an act of paying attention to the problem, but deliberately not mentioning the past like they are now is just deceiving themselves, hurting others and hurting themselves at the same time, saying The truth is really not worth the candle.

When Xiucai heard what Lin Guoxiang said, she was silent again, as if she was thinking about the feasibility of this proposal. Seeing that he didn't know what was wrong with him, Lin Guoxiang suddenly wanted to give him a chestnut.

She thought: What a great proposal I have. Talking about everything saves time and effort, and the most important thing is that it doesn't hurt your feelings and doesn't kill your brain cells.Why, is it possible that you still want to keep all the past in your heart and treasure it?Do you think this is wine making, the longer the age, the more mellow it will be?
When Lin Guoxiang thought that there would still be a vague shadow between her and Xiucai in the future, and that this shadow was actually her own "previous life", she felt a little tired.She also knew that her idea was bad, and she always felt as if she was jealous of herself, with a feeling of schizophrenia, but seeing Xiucai's behavior at the moment, she couldn't help but think about the bad side, how to comfort and hint I can't do it myself.

Although Xiucai kept his head down in deep thought, the corner of his eyes never looked away from Lin Guoxiang's body. Seeing that the expression on her face gradually became a little ugly, he knew that he couldn't drag it any longer. , I have to give an answer immediately, otherwise I will be in "life danger" if I don't solve today's problem.

Thinking of this, Xiucai nodded hesitantly: "Okay, I will do as you say." It seems that he is still a little reluctant.His behavior actually aroused the anger in Lin Guoxiang's heart, what do you mean by this?What, still unwilling?
Xiucai, who had been looking at Lin Guoxiang all the time, noticed the anger on her face, and felt a little relieved for some reason. This behavior at least proves that this girl still cares about herself a little bit, right?But the most urgent task now is to appease her first, otherwise today's test will definitely not be easy to pass.

So Xiucai hurriedly explained to Lin Guoxiang, the meaning behind the words was that he didn't know what to say just now, and he had to express it, so he thought seriously.

Lin Guoxiang naturally didn't believe it, she couldn't help curling her lips, rolled her eyes, and said in her heart: It's weird if I believe you.But they didn't say anything, but after that, the two opened up and chatted for a while, and said all the words that were hidden in their hearts before.

When the two came out of the study, others could easily feel that there was a tacit understanding between the two, and they were much closer than before.Although the two were very good before, it always made people feel that there was an awkwardness between the two.

……

Lin Guoxiang and Xiucai talked about everything, and spent the Mid-Autumn Festival happily with no burden in their hearts. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiucai will go to the county to catch up on the exam.The Great Xia Dynasty has a big exam every three years, and the exam time is set in mid-October. At that time, the weather is neither cold nor hot, and the weather is suitable for candidates to take the exam with peace of mind. However, the results will not be reported until March of the next year, also known as the next year. Chunxi means double happiness.

Because people in the Great Xia Dynasty believed that spring was a season of joy when all things revived, and it was a joy to pass the Juren or Jinshi exams, so it was called Double Happiness.

Fortunately, this scientific expedition is only held in the county, and Linjia Village is relatively close to the county. You only need to rent a carriage in the town and walk for three or four days. Therefore, Xiucai can spend a good Mid-Autumn Festival at home .As for other students whose homes are far away, they are not so lucky. They have to leave even if they cannot celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at home. It is difficult to say whether someone who is sick or ill can catch up with the exam on time, let alone those candidates who have to go to Beijing to catch the exam.

Closer to home, that night, Lin Guoxiang and a few other little helpers helped Xiucai pack their belongings.Originally, Lin Guoxiang didn't want to do it by herself, but the old lady said, where can the head of the house go out to take an exam and her daughter-in-law doesn't help to pack the luggage together?By the way, he also asked her to think differently. If she was going to take an exam, Xiucai didn't even bother to pack her luggage. Let's see what she thinks.

In fact, Lin Guoxiang felt that even if she helped pack the luggage, the luggage might not be able to produce bright flowers, right?But I only dare to whisper this in my heart, but I dare not say it in front of the old lady, or I will be nagged to death by the old lady's nagging skills?

Mrs. Zhao didn't know that her daughter would have such thoughts in her heart. In fact, her thoughts were also very simple, that is, the son-in-law is going to take an exam after all. What can I do if my daughter loses face?Although the daughter is married, she and her wife grew up holding each other in the palm of their hands. You can't just watch her being rejected by your son-in-law, can you?
If Lin Guoxiang knew Zhao Shi's thoughts, she would probably be dumbfounded. To be honest, she still wished that she could dislike her, so that she would be more relaxed and wouldn't be pestered like this every day.As for the scholar, he can think whatever he likes, she doesn't care.

Needless to say, at first Lin Guoxiang didn't take the fact that the scholar was going out to rush for the exam at all, on the contrary, she still faintly hoped that he would leave as soon as possible, so that her world would be completely quiet.What's more, now that everything is open, she doesn't have to deliberately maintain those superficial skills like before, pretending to be affectionate with the scholar in front of others, although she has begun to pay attention to the scholar in her heart.

In the past, she dreamed of riding a donkey to go to the market alone, shopping and seeing beauties, how comfortable it is, but there is a scholar by her side staring at her. This idea has not been successful. Now that the scholar is finally leaving, she is too late to be happy up.

But now I helped Xiucai pack his luggage, and seeing the reluctance of the two children, Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue, Lin Guoxiang was somewhat infected, and felt a little anxious.After all the younger ones had left, Lin Guoxiang finally couldn't help asking Xiucai: "Have you brought enough money?" In fact, her original intention was to ask Xiucai to pay more attention to her body when she was out alone. , but the words turned into such a sentence, as for the rest, she really couldn't say it, and felt somewhat awkward in her heart.

After all, she and Xiucai were not husband and wife from the beginning, so when they were alone, they still lacked the tacit understanding between husband and wife.

When Xiucai heard Lin Guoxiang's question, she was taken aback for a moment, then she took out the purse from her sleeve and shook it in front of her with a smile on her face: "That's enough, there are 20 taels of silver in it, anyway, it won't be much to go there. The exam will be in the next day, and it won’t take much, so don’t worry.”

Lin Guoxiang glanced at the purse in Xiucai's hand, that was made by Xiucai after asking her to make it, saying that wives make purses for their men, so he wanted it too, and also said that this is for her husband basic benefits.At that time, Lin Guoxiang hadn't completely integrated the memory of the original body, so she really made one for him. Although the stitches and everything are not exquisite enough, at least the style is novel, and it is definitely the only one when you take it out.

It was only later that Lin Guoxiang realized that she had been lied to by a scholar. Generally, people in the village would simply sew a small cloth bag to store money in. How could they make a purse for their husband as the scholar said?I still remember that Xiucai went out with the purse she just sewed to show off, making Lin Dongqing and a group of married men jealous, and kept talking about this in front of his wife, making Xiucai proud Almost lost track of North.

For this, Lin Guoxiang was even complained by Qinghe, because Lin Dongqing also asked her to make a purse after returning home.Qinghe usually takes care of her parents-in-law and takes care of her younger ones, and does some housework when she has nothing to do. If she is too busy, how can she spend her time doing purses?Isn't this full of food, so she didn't like to see the scholar who directly and indirectly found work for her, and Lin Guoxiang who was indirectly implicated was all complained by her.

So now every time Lin Guoxiang saw this purse, she would give Xiucai an angry look, and this time was no exception, she just gave Xiucai a big roll of her eyes.The scholar didn't take it seriously, but instead bent the corners of his lips, and then put the purse into the sleeve like a baby.His behavior made Lin Guoxiang embarrassed for a while, but he also felt very heartwarming, after all, everyone wants to be held like a treasure like this.

"This money is not enough, what should I do if I need it?" Lin Guoxiang frowned, went to her room and took out ten banknotes worth 20 taels of silver and handed them to Xiucai, "Take these banknotes, In case of an emergency, at least I can save the emergency.” With six or seventy taels of silver, you can buy a new carriage and a strong and good horse, and 70 taels of money will definitely be enough if you get it back.

The scholar also knew what Lin Guoxiang meant, so he didn't pretend to be pretentious, and readily accepted the bank note that Lin Guoxiang handed to him.On the contrary, Lin Guoxiang was a little tangled, she couldn't help asking him: "You won't be polite?" Why does it feel like everything is what she should do?Why does this feel so bad?

This time, it was a scholar who pretended to be surprised and looked at Lin Guoxiang and asked, "Aren't you my wife?" The implication is that we need to be so clear about who is with whom?

This time it was Lin Guoxiang who was speechless, what else could she say after everyone said it so clearly?If it goes any further, it will appear to be out of place, this scholar is going to take the exam, let's just let him go, don't make him feel bad and do not perform well in the exam room, and if he fails the exam, he will have to blame her.

Thinking of this, Lin Guoxiang simply waved her hand: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, I'll go and see if the cake in the oven is ready, and when it cools, put it in a food box and take it with you on the road." Said After that, I left the scholar's room and went to the pot house to see if her cake was baked.

Generally, other people’s homes either bring steamed buns or pancakes with them when they travel far away, and even if the conditions of the vegetable family are good, they also bring dried meat. However, Lin’s village is not close to the county, and Lin Guoxiang herself hates eating dry pancakes and pancakes. So I thought that Xiucai would not like to eat it, so I baked some chicken cakes and other biscuits and pastries for him to eat on the road.As for the dishes, it is naturally braised pork that can be placed. Anyway, it is not hot now, so it is not afraid that it will be spoiled after a few days.

The scholar sent Lin Guoxiang out of the room, and stood at the door with the corners of his lips curled up to watch her back quietly. He didn't come back to his senses until he entered the pot house and the smile on his lips grew stronger.

Withdrawing his gaze, Xiucai was about to turn back into the room and continue to pack his luggage, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the door of the dormitory next to him was slightly open, and four pairs of shining eyes were exposed from the crack of the door. The burning fire of gossip made Xiucai a little dumbfounded.

So Xiucai put on a straight face and said to the few little ones who were hiding in the dormitory and watching the show secretly: "What are you hiding, why don't you hurry up and help me pack things together."

After hearing what Xiucai said, the younger ones pushed and shoved in the room for a while, but finally couldn't match Xiucai's staring gaze. One by one, they came out of the dormitory with their heads drooping, and followed the proud Xiucai who turned around and smiled. He went into the house to help him pack his luggage.

　Four thousand words, there will be updates later, ahem, make up for yesterday's...

　　By the way, I would like to thank the pink pig who is losing weight for the pink ticket, O(∩_∩)O~
