Chapter 487: The cannon fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination novel (9) (three updates,

Xu Yin concentrates on cultivating flowers on the mountain. Like the locals, she works at sunrise and rests at sunset, living a busy and fulfilling life.

But the outside world thought that she was keeping mourning in the cemetery, crying all day long, immersed in the grief of losing her parents and unable to extricate herself.

“Has your cousin made up her mind to observe mourning in the cemetery?”

As the day of the college examination approached, Sun's mother thought of Xu Yin again because of her son's financial problems.

“Why is this child so stubborn! No! I have to go again!”

Even if the expenses for the college examination are borrowed, there are still rural examinations and general examinations later.

She hopes that her son will pass the exams and bring glory to his family. How can he be fettered by the financial burden and end it after the college exams?

 Sun Zhiqian originally thought that Brother Xiujie’s family was well off and he would borrow money from him for the upcoming college examination. But what his mother said was somewhat reasonable. You couldn’t ask Brother Xiujie to borrow money every time, right?

 out out out out and he can go to Fucheng to take the provincial exam next fall, but Brother Xiujie fails to do so, how can he ask for money at that time? It always feels like rubbing salt into the other person's wounds.

“But mother, the college examination is approaching and my son is busy studying, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you.”

"You don't need to accompany me. I'll go alone. You can just study in peace. My mother is not at home these days, so your father has to cook. I know it's hard to taste his cooking skills, so I can only feed my son a few meals." .”

After explaining the situation at home, Sun’s mother packed a light package and set off for Luo City again.

When she arrived in Luocheng, she did not go to Xu Mansion immediately. Instead, she waited for the sky to get dark before going to knock on the door of Xu Mansion.

Thinking that it is getting dark, even if my niece is not at home, the housekeeper should come out to entertain me, right?

No matter how you say that you are the aunt of the current head of the Xu family, how can you close the door to the elders of the master's family?

Let's make some plans after moving into Xu Mansion.

Anyway, I have to ask my niece to borrow money this time.

Grandma Sun's calculation was quite good, but she missed one point: the person who opened the door was not the polite old housekeeper, but the new accountant.

Seeing the long and deep scar on the other person's face, my grandma trembled with fright and asked, "Who are you? Why are you at my niece's house?"

The cashier frowned at her and replied coldly: "The master is not at home, please come back another day."

After saying this, we will close the door of the house.

"Wait a minute!" Grandmother was anxious. It was so late at night, if she wasn't invited in, where could she go? Staying in an inn costs money.

"I told you, the master is not at home, come back another day!"

“I am the aunt of the master of Xu Mansion! Let me in!”

Grandmother pushed hard against the door, trying to squeeze in.

Reluctantly, the boy with the scar on his face looked thin, but he was actually very strong. No matter how hard she pushed, the crack in the door never widened.

“The master is not at home, please come back another day!”

The other party still said the same thing, and after saying that, he closed the door of the house with a "bang" in front of Sun Mu, and even left the bolt.

Grandmother was so angry that she yelled: "Who are you! How dare you block me from the door! When my niece comes back, she will betray you! You bully dog! Ugly people often cause mischief!"

No matter how she scolded her, the door of Xu Mansion never opened again.

Seeing that it was completely dark, the streets were dimly lit, and few people passed by. Sun's mother had no choice but to go to a nearby inn and ask for the cheapest room.

Looking at the broken silver that was handed out, she almost fainted from the pain in her heart.

The next day, she went to Xu Mansion again, but she was still greeted by a closed door.

At this time, she regretted extremely that she had not asked the housekeeper about the location of the Xu family cemetery, otherwise she could have gone directly to the cemetery to find her niece. That place was a little unlucky, but it was better than being turned away time and time again.

Grandmother returned without success, cursing. In Xu's Mansion, the boy leaned against the door and listened for a long time, then ran back quietly, laughing and saying: "Let's go, let's go! I'm finally gone!"

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

Last night, when his grandma came to the door, he was not at the house. He received the letter from the girl's entrustment and went to the wine shop in the next town to buy the high-grain wine that the girl needed.

I returned to the house at noon today and heard from the waiter that the grandson's mother came to the door again. I was hesitating whether to come out to receive her, but was stopped by the accounting clerk.

And then there was the scene just now.

After coming back to his senses, the old housekeeper glanced at the accountant who was calmly calculating, and couldn't help but ask:

"You closed the door in front of her yesterday, so you weren't afraid that she would sue the girl? After all, she is also a relative of the master."

"casual."

“Hey, you guy…”

The housekeeper pointed at his face: "Tell me the truth, did the scar on your face get cut like this because someone said something unpleasant and got angry?"

The other person raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

The housekeeper thought he had guessed it right. He stroked his gray beard and sighed: "Boy! Speaking is also a skill. Learn more in the future!"

…”

On the other side, Sun’s mother not only failed to raise enough money for her son, but also made a trip to Luo City in vain. She also lost two nights in the inn and paid for the tips. She was so angry that she covered her heart all the way.

Feeling full of complaints when I get home.

Sun Zhiqian was somewhat disappointed when he learned that his mother had failed to borrow money from his cousin.

But he was in a good mood: "Mom, it's okay! Let's pass the college exam first! What if Brother Xiujie and I both pass the exam? Then we go to Fucheng and Rural Examinations, and we are still going the same way. I won't be able to raise enough. Brother Xiujie will not sit idly by and ignore the troubles."

It can only be the.

Grandma Sun sighed. Thinking of her trip to Luo City in vain, she felt unhappy and cursed angrily:

"That cousin of yours is really mean-spirited! She can't live in the big house, so she has to go to the gloomy cemetery to pay her respects. She has such a filial heart! I think she will be betrayed by that slave dog who has committed crimes from the screw down sooner or later! Look! alright!"

 Xu Yin, who was completing the spice planting plan in the Xu Family Villa, was caught off guard and sneezed.

"Girl? Is the ice basin too close to you? I'll move further." Hong Qian said, about to move the ice basin at Xu Yin's feet to cool down.

"Don't!"

Xu Yin hurriedly stopped.

On a hot day, just an ice basin, and you have to move her farther away.

“It was just a sneeze, and I didn’t catch a cold. Even if I had a cold, it would probably be a heat cold.”

“Girl, what is heat cold?”

“It’s just...fengre?”

Cold cold is called wind-cold, and heat-cold should be called wind-heat, right?

She thought that next time she traveled to a small modern world and had the opportunity to take the college entrance examination, she would choose a major in Chinese medicine and get a Chinese medicine practitioner qualification certificate.

In ancient times, there was a great need for medical skills.

Thinking about her vicious heroine's life, she got through it entirely by relying on "The Complete Book of Jingyue", "The Illustrated Book of Chinese Herbal Medicine" and some common sense of health care from later generations. In fact, she was not even a half-hearted doctor.
