Chapter 12 Makeover

Another day passed, and Yi Shuyuan found some clothes from the box, including a straight jacket and a simple Confucian scarf. Although it was old, he felt that he could wear it after comparing his figure.

This outfit is also the only Confucian scholar's outfit in the box that can be worn immediately without any repairs. There were originally several outfits, but they have been altered or cut over the years.

When he first came to this world, Yi Shuyuan was still very thin, but now his face is much plumper.

Yi Shuyuan took a rough wash, tidied his hair in his room, took a knife, and steadily shaved off the beard on his face little by little. In front of the bronze mirror passed down from his mother's dowry, his expression was also slightly exposed.

A hint of surprise.

Then he changed into clothes and put on a Confucian scarf. When Yi Shuyuan finished dressing and left the house, the Yi family was stunned. The clothes fit him well and his figure was slender, and his steps were steady and Confucian-style.

Now that I have a beard, I feel completely transformed compared to before!

"Brother?"

Yi Baokang came over and asked blankly, seeming a little unsure whether he was dazzled.

"This is uncle?" "Uncle?"

The rest of the Yi family were also shocked. Yi Baokang's clothes even covered his open mouth, with a look of disbelief on his face. Even the child was stunned.

This appearance also made Yi Shuyuan somewhat relieved. It was indeed better than in his previous life. As for the reactions of the people around him, after all, he had never seen anything like the world.

"Baokang, I'm going to the city to see if I can find a job. If it's convenient, how about you take me there?"

Saying this sentence also means that Yi Shuyuan intends to accept himself from the bottom of his heart.

"Dad, let me take uncle there!"

Yi Yongan volunteered, but Yi Baokang agreed after hesitating, and then sent the two of them to the courtyard gate with instructions.

"Go early and come back early. The road will be difficult to walk in the dark."

"Don't worry, Dad, I will take good care of your uncle!"

Yi Shuyuan had nothing to say, so he just nodded and left together with Yi Yongan. As soon as they left, the voices and discussions in the courtyard obviously became louder.

The two of them walked along the village path toward the southeast. The neighbors and villagers they met outside were all stunned. Most of them wondered where they were just Confucian scholars. A few insiders didn't realize it until someone reminded them.

They gathered together and talked about it, which might make Yi Shuyuan popular in the village for the second time.

Yi Shuyuan didn't care about these trivial details. He and Yi Yongan walked along the dirt road in the southeast direction, and their destination was Yuanjiang County.

Just after leaving the village, Yi Shuyuan obviously relaxed a lot, and his steps became brisk. Perhaps because he had been exercising in the mountains for a long time, it actually made it difficult for Yi Yongan, who was following closely, to keep up.

pace.

Seeing that he couldn't keep up, Yi Yongan couldn't help shouting.

"Hey, uncle, please slow down and wait for me!"

Yi Shuyuan had no choice but to slow down and wait for Yi Yong to come up, and the two of them kept moving at the same pace.

Yi Yong'an was actually a little excited to go into the city for a walk, so he chatted with Yi Shuyuan in front of "uncle" and "uncle" behind him along the way.

Finally, Yi Shuyuan couldn't stand it anymore and said to Yi Yongan after passing an intersection.

"Yong'an, can you please stop calling me uncle and uncle all the time? There are many people in the city, and we don't know much about you and me. In terms of appearance, we look to be about the same age. It's so weird for outsiders to call me that."

?”

In fact, Yi Shuyuan said that he was more considerate of his eldest nephew's feelings. The two of them definitely didn't look the same age. His eldest nephew who was in his twenties could appear to be thirty or forty years old at first glance, which was much higher than the actual age.

Looks much older.

Yi Yongan followed and answered nonchalantly.

"Weird? Uncle, some of them are older children. I've even seen old people call their children uncle!"

Yi Shuyuan was stunned. What this guy said actually made sense, but he quickly shook his head and almost got involved.

"How can there be uncles and nephews who are about the same age? And you are talking about a minority after all. We are going to the city today, and we must go to some respectable places, so we don't want to get into trouble. Well, you can just call me brother."

Upon hearing this, Yi Yongan's reaction was even greater than that of Yi Shuyuan. He quickly walked sideways with small steps and waved his hands in front of Yi Shuyuan.

"No, no, no, that's not okay. You are my uncle. How can I call you brother? This is not confusing the seniority. And if my father knows that I call you brother, then he and I...

..Hey, you have to beat me to death!”

Yi Shuyuan couldn't laugh or cry. The majesty of his brother's head of the family was revealed at such an inexplicable time.

In the end, Yi Yongan just said that he would bark as little as possible, and even if he wanted to bark, he would get closer and lower his voice. Anyway, he did not agree to call him lower in seniority. In this regard, his temper was as stubborn as his father, so Yi Shuyuan could only

That's it.

As the two of them continued to move forward, Yi Shuyuan was gradually attracted by the surrounding scenery.

Along the way, the spring sun shines on the remaining snow, and everything comes to life. Everything you see is pristine, and nature is as far as the eye can see. The grass and trees have taken the lead in breaking through the cold winter coat, and are beginning to rush to sprout and grow green. The birds in the forest are chirping constantly, and there are occasionally cows along the way.

The crow of the cock adds to the charm.

Yi Shuyuan was not simply rushing, but was admiring everything he saw while walking. This kind of scene was not comparable to the deliberate creation of some scenic spots. It had a unique charm. Perhaps Yi Yongan and this place

It was commonplace for others, but Yi Shuyuan felt it was particularly fresh and interesting, as if he had walked into a poem and painting full of vitality.

Walking from dawn to sunrise in the early morning, Yi Shuyuan's soles became sore as he walked until he finally approached the outside of Yuanjiang County. At this distance, there were more people to meet around him.

Strictly speaking, according to the comparison standards of Yi Shuyuan's previous life, Xihe Village, where the Yi family lives, is not too far from the county seat. When the weather is good, you can see the direction of the county seat relatively clearly from the Beishan Mountain.

.

It's just that the roads now are not as convenient as those in the previous life. The roads in the countryside here are far from smooth. The roads in the woods and fields are diverted, the bridges are found when encountering water, and the journey of more than ten or twenty miles with twists and turns may not be possible.

Fortunately, although Yi Shuyuan here first went crazy and then disappeared, he now finds that his body is surprisingly strong. It may only be the average level of the people in the village, but it is definitely much stronger than Yi Shuyuan in the previous life. It is definitely not

He thought he was the kind of weak scholar who didn't feel too tired after walking so much.

To be honest, Yi Shuyuan became a little nervous as he got closer to the county seat. After all, he had never seen much of the world here. The last time he came to the county seat, he was just a child. After decades of stupidity and disappearance, except for some

Words such as tall, lively and empty have left little impression on the county town.

Yi Yong'an next to him was also a little cautious. Yi Shuyuan actually relaxed when he saw that his eldest nephew was in a worse state than himself.

"Yong'an, don't be so coy, just walk openly."

"Hey uncle, uh..."

Yi Shuyuan shook his head and said it was okay. He walked towards the city gate first, and Yi Yongan quickly followed.

People were coming and going at the city gate, but no soldiers were seen checking.

After patting the dust on his body, Yi Shuyuan, who was slightly excited and uneasy inside but calm on the outside, took Yi Yongan and walked into the city from the city gate along with the others as if nothing had happened.

As soon as he entered the city, Yi Shuyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a picture of the ancient city full of charm came into view.

No, it shouldn't be the word "ancient city". This is the style of Yuanjiang County. The elegance and simplicity are integrated with the atmosphere of life. The traffickers and the people in the city are lively. This is how it is here. Everything is very natural and nothing is unnatural.

It's just Yi Shuyuan's own heart.

After settling his position in his mind, Yi Shuyuan took a deep breath, then relaxed himself and strolled along the street.

Yuanjiang County is located in the northern part of Yuezhou, bordering Kuonan Mountain to the north and E River to the south. Although it is not a famous city or large county, it has four distinct seasons and beautiful scenery. Except for the abnormal climate in recent years, it has always been considered a good place to live.

, the county seat is quite large compared to counties at the same level.

Yi Shuyuan and Yi Yongan were walking in the city, their pace sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and their eyes were dizzying. Even if they had memories of being here in this life, after all, they were mostly from childhood, and most of them were blurred. It can be said that what they saw was

Everything is new.

Avoid the porters and pedestrians, and hear the chatter and laughter of hawkers and pedestrians. The shouts of the waiters soliciting customers from various shops can also be heard from time to time. There is the smell of wine and food in the city from time to time, and the smell of makeup and powder often passes by.

Yi Shuyuan, who was following Yi Yong'an around him, was warmly invited several times. The invitees were both vendors setting up stalls along the way and some shop assistants. Unfortunately, he was not here to spend money and he didn't have much spending power.

You can still pretend to stop and watch, but you don't dare to enter those shops and pavilions to avoid embarrassment.

By this time, Yi Shuyuan had no remaining illusions in his heart.

ps: I also ask everyone to support the book by voting for it, so that the book can appear in a more prominent position!

And I also hope that everyone will try not to make some misleading remarks, such as making a separate post to write one chapter a day when there are two chapters a day. I can understand everyone's mood of wanting more, but I think everyone also knows that this kind of misleading is harmful to
Chapter completed!
