Chapter 4 Change of Heart
Xu Lanyin carefully recalled the details in the book. The book did not write much about the story of Miracle Su in the countryside village, only the first twenty chapters, and the last seven hundred chapters mainly describe her home fight after returning to Beijing and her love life with Prince Pingjun.
Xu Lan remembers it very clearly that the beginning of the book is in the 17th year of Xiping, and the story takes place in the Daming Dynasty. The courtyard where Su Qing lives is called Sujiazhuang, which is located in Xinghua Village. The ancient male supporting role is in Xiaozao Village. Xinghua Village and Xiaozao Village are both under the jurisdiction of Nanping County, Hebei. The heroine Su met an old miracle doctor who changed her life in Oatmeal Mountain.
In the memory of the original owner, Miss Su, who Gu Wangchen was thinking of, was also named Su Qing. This era was the Daming Dynasty, and this year was also the 17th year of Xiping. This is Xiaozao Village in Sanshi Town, Nanping County, Hebei Province. The mountain behind the village that stretches for dozens of miles is Oatmeal Mountain. The opposite bank of Baisha River is Xinghua Village, and Sujiazhuang is built in the southeast of Xinghua Village. The original owner has been there several times. Perhaps someone instructed him that no servant came forward to relieve Su Qing's troubles. The original owner stood at the gate and wanted to cry as long as he wanted.
In the era, the names of people and place names are perfectly matched. Xu Lanyin felt that she must have traveled books instead of just traveling through time. However, after Gu Wangchen returned in early September, the original owner fell into the river and drowned. According to the plot, he could only live for more than a month.
Xu Lan sighed, knowing that she was in a good environment and subsequent development, and she could avoid disaster in advance. In order to live longer in this life, she had to find a way to quit her kinship with Gu Wangchen and stay away from the heroine and male supporting role...
Today is July 23rd, and the autumn examination will be held on the eighth day of the eighth day. The ancient male supporting role will definitely pass the exam this time. The heroine Su will return to the capital in mid-September and never return to Sujiazhuang again. The male supporting role will participate in the spring exam next year and will pass the exam, becoming a hot young talent.
However, she is still looking forward to meeting the ancient male supporting role. I wonder if he is really so stingy and nervous, or if the author has limited ability and has not expressed it clearly.
Thinking of Gu Wangchen, another gentle and elegant boy appeared in front of Xu Lanyin. He looked at a girl and smiled and called her "Sister Yin".
In my impression, the original owner had a lot of interactions with Gu Wangchen when he was young. In the first two years after their engagement, Gu Wangchen often came to the Xu family to ask Qin for advice, and also taught the original owner to recite poems. Those scenes made Xu Lanyin feel a little warmth when he thinks about it now.
After the two got older, they did not have much interaction. Especially two years ago, Qin also confirmed that her husband was dead, and Gu Wangchen became a scholar again. He used the excuse that he was too busy with his studies and never came to the Xu family again.
Although Qin was sick in bed, he also saw that Gu Wangchen might want to change his mind. He reminded the original owner more than once to be mentally prepared and not to give the Gu family money. The original owner couldn't listen and firmly believed that he would be a scholar-in-law or even a juren's wife. Not only did he get along with Qin, he still secretly gave the Gu family things, but even secretly sold six acres of land, which made the family worse. The reason why the original owner sold the land so easily was that the Xu family banned several acres of land in the name of Gu Wangchen, who was a scholar, in order to avoid taxes.
Xu Lanyin thought that Gu Wangchen had already changed his mind, and his mother was also bad, and the original owner was even more stupid. He sold his home land so desperately, which almost ended his despair.
There is also a book that describes the original owner's greedy and stealing pears. Xu Lan couldn't remember the original owner's memory because she searched all of them. I don't know why there was that rumor.
Xu Lan was thinking about her thoughts when she heard a voice outside.
After the rice was cooked, Xu Lanzhou helped Qin to the main hall for supper.
Thinking of the ending of Qin and the two children in the book, Xu Lanyin felt ache. Even if they didn't like themselves, she didn't want them to encounter the bad luck in the book.
She got up, put on her shoes and went to the main hall.
It was already dark and there was no light on the light. The door was open. Qin and the other two sat at the table and ate in the light outside the room. Huazi squatted at the door and ate the mud in the bowl.
This family is getting poorer and hardly lights up oil lamps at night.
Since the original owner secretly sold six acres of land, Qin has never spoken to the original owner again. Although Xu Lanzhou and Old Lady Xu would stop her from beating the original owner, she still did not forgive the losses caused to the family by her daughter.
In front of Qin, a bowl of egg custard and half a bowl of corn porridge. In front of the other two brothers, a bowl of jade-paste sweet potato porridge, a bowl of boiled cabbage in the middle, and half a bowl of pickled cucumbers.
Several people looked up at Xu Lanyin, but ignored her. Qin insisted on scooping egg custard for her two sons. Xu Lanzhou took the bowl aside and refused. Xu Lanting blocked the bowl with his little hands, and both brothers advised Qin to eat the egg for his health.
This scene is very loving and warm, but Xu Lan was not in it and she didn't have her meal, so she didn't poke it here and lowered her head and went to the kitchen to serve the meal silently.
Seeing her back entering the kitchen, Xu Lanting murmured in a low voice, "My eldest sister is different today than usual, aren't she too concerned?"
Usually, she would hold her head up and walk out with disdain, and would never lose the price of a "scholar lady".
Xu Lanzhou's face became more serious and he snorted coldly, "Only her elm-head, she will only grow a big pit, not be scheming, I don't know what stupid ideas I have made." He said to his younger brother solemnly, "When I go to the field, you must take good care of your family and can't let that stupid sister continue to make a fortune."
Qin Shi shook her head and sighed softly, "It's my mother who didn't teach her well."
In fact, she has worked hard to teach her daughter over the years, which is more troublesome than teaching her two sons, but her son is smart, and her daughter is just unaware of it.
Xu Lanzhou said, "I don't blame me. I teach her so much, and even we understand it, but she just can't listen. She is stupid and confused by Gu Wangchen, and she is crazy. When she gets married at the end of the year, the family will be peaceful."
Qin sighed again. The Gu family said that they would marry Xu Lanyin at the end of the year, but she felt that the Gu family's mother and son were very reluctant. It was not her own villain's intention. She saw that Gu Wangchen might have changed his mind two years ago. Even if Gu Wangchen could not marry his daughter, his daughter would not be killed. I thought that he and her husband were engaged to her so early to make her life in the future and kept offering Gu Wangchen to study. The cost to Gu Wangchen was more than the three children combined...
There were two pots in the kitchen, the big pot was empty, and there was a little porridge in the small pot. Xu Lanyin only had half a bowl of it after serving it. She secretly complained in her heart that the naughty child didn't want to give her enough food at all.
She didn't enter the main hall, but took out a pickled cucumber from the jar and stood in the kitchen to eat the food. She had no time to endure it.
After dinner, she saw that although there was no oil on the stove and chopping board, there was a lot of dust and the placement was messy, so she began to clean the kitchen. After cleaning up, she poured half a pot of water into the big pot and boiled it. Then she came to the yard to clean the yard with the starlight. Only Huazi shook her tail and followed her.
