Chapter 144: Fulfill Sun Xue's ambition
Ever since Lin Yiwan had the intention of disturbing Sun Xue and her eldest brother, she began to pay attention to Sun Xue's every move.
Sun Xue had no idea that she had been targeted. Now she wanted to find out why Lin Xianwen could not take the scientific examination.
She asked Yiyue first, but Yiyue didn't even know what the scientific examination was, so she didn't know the reason.
She also wanted to ask Xianwu, the older member of the family, but Xianwu mostly helped with work in the fields every day. Whenever he came home, he would stick close to Lin Yiwan and couldn't find any chance to ask questions.
Two or three days passed like this, and the doubts became bigger and bigger in my mind.
On this day, she finally couldn't help it, so while cooking with Mrs. Sun, she pretended to be unintentional and asked: "Auntie, Brother Xianwen likes reading so much, why doesn't the family send him to study in the county town, and then let him
Let’s take a test for merit next time.”
Mrs. Sun originally planned to deal with it, but she was afraid that her niece would ask Xianwen or his elders at home about this question.
She thought that since the two young men had already discussed marriage, they were not considered outsiders, so she explained the reason slightly.
"The scientific examination requires checking the resumes of three generations of ancestors, but Xianwen's great-grandmother came from out of town and her family situation cannot be tested, so children of Xianwen's generation cannot participate in the scientific examination.
If our children from the Lin family want to take the scientific examination, they will have to wait until the next generation."
When Sun Xue heard this answer, her heart suddenly became cold.
If Lin Xianwen cannot take the scientific examination, then she will never be able to be a scholar again in her life!
Not to mention that the next generation can participate, she can still hope to be a scholar.
God knows whether the child she has with Lin Xianwen will be able to study. If he is born without the ability, then her hopes will be in vain.
In other words, most people’s hearts are dissatisfied.
Sun Xue used to think that she was lucky to be able to marry into a family like the Lin family where she had no worries about food and clothing and no worries.
But when she knew that there was an option to be a scholar, the Lin family, which she had previously regarded as a place of prosperity, was nothing more than that now.
The original wishful man, Lin Xianwen, had the disadvantage of not being able to do scientific research. He was like a copper plate that fell into a manure pit. It was a pity to throw it away. If you really want to pick it up, you must not be ruthless.
But what if I don’t pick it up?
I won’t talk about the impact of regretting the marriage on the relationship between the two families now, but just saying that after regretting the marriage, where will she find a husband who is better than Lin Xianwen and can be admitted as a scholar?
Moreover, all scientific examinations are risky. What if she makes a mistake and fails to pass the examination? She will have to pay for her whole life.
Sun Xue sighed, it would be great if there was a ready-made scholar in front of her for her to choose.
Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat.
Now, isn't there a ready-made single scholar in front of us - Xie Qingfeng?
Think about Xie Xiucai, no matter in talent, appearance or status, he is not inferior to Lin Xianwen in everything.
It seems that she has to find a way to have more contact with Xie Xiucai...
Lin Yiwan has been keeping an eye on Sun Xue, and she will follow him from a distance even when he goes out.
However, after following him out a few times, she discovered that Sun Xue was wandering around Xie's house every time he went out, as if he was waiting for someone.
Unfortunately, Sun Xue failed to wait for anyone when she went out several times in succession, and came back disappointed every time.
Lin Yiwan could guess without thinking that she must be waiting for Brother Qingfeng.
I just don’t know if she is looking for Brother Qingfeng this time to continue arranging herself, or if she has other agendas.
But no matter the reason, Lin Yiwan felt that this was a good opportunity to disrupt her marriage with her eldest brother.
She decided to help Sun Xue and let him get what he wanted.
…
"Xianwu, would you like to do me a favor? Find an opportunity to send this to the Xie family, and avoid other people and give this to Brother Qingfeng, okay?"
"Sister, you know Brother Qingfeng so well, why don't you give it to him yourself?"
"I've been having some conflicts with Brother Qingfeng recently, and I'm not too embarrassed to come to visit you.
Remember to tell him that I will be waiting for him in Taolin tomorrow at the time of application. I have something very important to tell him and ask him to come over. Do you remember?"
"Remember, give this to Brother Qingfeng, and tell him that he will go to Taolin at Shenshi tomorrow if you have anything to do with him."
"That's great, that's right. Go ahead and my sister will cook some meat for you tonight."
Xianwu cheered and ran away.
Lin Yiwan glanced at the eavesdropper by the wall and said to her heart: The opportunity has been given to you, it's up to you whether you can seize it or not.
After lunch the next day, Lin Yiwan changed into a pomegranate red dress, and at the same time combed her hair again, dressing herself up very delicately and charmingly.
Sun Xue looked at her outfit and was very jealous: "Yiwan, you have made new clothes again. This is the third or fourth outfit this winter.
I really envy you, I haven't made a new dress this winter."
Lin Yiwan stroked the embroidery pattern on her sleeves but smiled silently.
When Sun Xue saw that she was silent, she added, "You are so beautifully dressed today. If others don't know, they think you are going to meet someone."
Yiwan, why don't you tell your cousin whether you have a sweetheart and you are going to see him this afternoon."
Lin Yiwan blushed at these words, she lowered her head and said coyly: "Oh, cousin, don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing.
I just have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I happened to try on this outfit."
"Yeah, if you have a sweetheart, you can hide it from your cousin and ask her to give you the details.
But your clothes are really nice and match your skin tone, making you look fairer."
"Cousin, I said no, don't let yourself and your eldest brother..."
From the looks of it, the two sisters were laughing and praising each other non-stop.
But probably only they themselves know what they actually think.
Since the last six moments, Lin Yiwan has been looking out from time to time, doing nothing absent-mindedly.
Seeing that Shen Shi was approaching, she was about to go to a hut and go out. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Sun Xue who was carrying a basin. A large basin of cold water drenched her whole body.
Seeing that she had caused trouble, Sun Xue quickly put the basin aside and apologized repeatedly: "Oh, Yiwan, I'm really sorry. I really didn't mean it. I was walking in a hurry and didn't see you.
Please go to your room quickly and change out of your wet clothes. It's so cold in this cold weather that it won't be good if you get typhoid fever."
Qian, who was doing embroidery work in the main room, heard the sound and rushed over. Seeing her niece like a drowned rat, she hurriedly pulled her and said, "Come to the kitchen with me quickly. I'll light the fire. You can bake it first, otherwise the cool shirt will be worn out."
You will definitely get sick.
There is warm water in the pot. It is meant for Yijin Yiyue to take a bath. When I get the water ready, you can go take a dip.
Why are you so careless? You should be more careful next time and never be so irritable."
Qian babbled and took Lin Yiwan to the kitchen.
Sun Xue, who was still apologizing with guilt on her face, waited for them to enter the kitchen, immediately went back to her room, changed her clothes and went out quietly.
