Chapter 486 The male protagonist's cannon fodder cousin (9)
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.
The outside world thought that she was observing 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 pay her respects at the cemetery?"
As the day of the hospital 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 I borrow the money for the college examination, there is still the provincial examination and the general examination later.
She was looking forward to her son passing the exams and honoring his ancestors. How could he be fettered by the financial burden and end it after taking the college exams?
Sun Zhiqian originally thought that Xiujie's brother was from a well-off family and would borrow money from him for the upcoming college examination. But what his mother said made some sense. He couldn't ask Xiujie to borrow money every time, right?
What if he is admitted this time and can go to Fucheng to take the provincial examination next autumn, but Brother Xiujie fails to do so, how can he ask him to borrow money? It always feels like adding salt to the other party's wound.
"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. But 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 Luo City, she did not go to Xu Mansion immediately. Instead, she waited for the sky to get dark before going to take pictures of Xu Mansion's door.
Thinking that it was getting dark, even if his niece was not at home, the housekeeper should come out to entertain him, right?
After all, she is also the aunt of the current head of the Xu Mansion, so how can she close the door and refuse to entertain the elders of the master's family!
Wait until you move into Xu Mansion and then make some plans.
Anyway, I have to ask my niece to borrow money this time.
Sun's mother's calculation was quite good, but she missed one point: the person who opened the door was not the old housekeeper who was still polite, but the new accountant.
Seeing the long and deep scar on the other person's face, her grandma trembled with fright and asked, "Who are you? How come you are in my niece's mansion?"
The cashier frowned at her and replied coldly: "The master is not at home, please come back another day."
After saying that, I will close the door.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Sun's mother was anxious. It was so late at night. If she wasn't invited in, where could she go? Staying in an inn would cost 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.
Unfortunately, this kid with scars 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, come back another day!"
The other party still said the same thing, and with a "bang" sound, he closed the door of the house in front of Sun's mother and even left the bolt.
Grandmother was so angry that she yelled: "Who do you think you are! How dare you block me from the door! When my niece comes back, she will betray you! You bully dog! Ugly people often do mischief!"
But no matter how much she scolded her, the door of Xu's 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 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.
No matter how she knocked or shouted, no one answered.
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 unlucky, but it was better than being rejected time and time again.
Grandma returned without success, cursing.
In the Xu Mansion, the boy leaned against the door and listened for a long time, then ran back quietly and said with a smile: "I'm gone, I'm gone! I'm finally gone!"
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
Last night, when his grandma came to visit, he was not at the house. He received the letter from the girl's entrustment and went to the winery 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 my grandma came to the door again. I was hesitating whether to come forward to receive her, but was stopped by the accounting clerk.
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 honestly, did the scar on your face get cut like this in anger because of what you said?"
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 Los Angeles in vain. She also lost two nights in an inn and paid for her tips. She was so angry that she covered her heart all the way.
I was full of complaints when I got 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? When the time comes, we will go to Fucheng and Rural Examinations and still go 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 sighed, and when she thought about 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 a nice seven-year-old mansion and has to go to a dark cemetery to keep her mourning. She has such a filial heart! I think she will be betrayed by that screwed-up slave sooner or later! Look!
alright!"
"Ah sneeze——"
In the Xu Family Villa, Xu Yin was completing the spice planting plan when she was caught off guard and sneezed.
"Girl? Is the ice basin too close to you? I'll move further away." Hong Qian said, about to move the ice basin at Xu Yin's feet to relieve the heat.
"Don't!"
Xu Yin hurriedly stopped.
On a hot day, there is only an ice basin, and she needs to be moved further 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 was thinking 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, medical skills were very much needed.
Thinking back to 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 knowledge of health care from later generations. In fact, she was not even a half-baked doctor.
