Chapter 60 Losing Money
"Yuemei, you're here!"
A young man dressed in white robes had a refined and scholarly demeanor, with a smile on his face, though the smile didn't quite reach his eyes.
He was looking at the person in front of him, who was very plain in both appearance and attire.
"Young Master Lin!"
Li Yuemei looked somewhat shy and dared not look directly at the person in front of her.
Lin Xiucai said, "My home is not far from here. Why don't you come with me to my home for a while?"
"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate, what if your mother sees us..."
When Lin Mo heard Li Yuemei mention his mother, his eyes flickered evasively: "My mother is not home these days. She went on a long trip to visit a relative."
A question flashed through Li Yuemei's mind. She remembered that Young Master Lin's mother was a blind woman who had difficulty with daily life, so how could she go out? But since it involved their private affairs, she didn't want to pry. What if she displeased Scholar Lin... and he disliked her?
"Shall we go?" Lin Mo said again.
Li Yuemei hesitated for a moment and did not agree immediately.
She did indeed admire He Jing, but she also didn't want to let Lin Xiucai go. After all, Lin Xiucai was learned, and if he became an official in the future, he would enjoy endless wealth and honor.
Although He Jing was handsome, the most handsome man she had ever seen, looks can't put food on the table. He was just a country hunter, and that was probably all he would ever be.
But Lin Xiucai in front of us is different. He is a learned man who has studied and may rise to prominence in the future.
She didn't want to live a hard life anymore!
Thinking of this, she took a step and followed Lin Xiucai.
To everyone's surprise, the scholar Lin, who usually appeared to be a refined gentleman, seemed to have completely transformed upon entering the room, pulling her directly onto the bed. Li Yuemei, a woman, was no match for a man.
On the disheveled bedding, Li Yuemei, barely clothed, wept with red eyes.
With a satisfied expression, Scholar Lin slowly straightened his clothes. The woman's weeping made a fleeting look of impatience on his face, but he, being adept at feigning it, gently comforted her:
"Yuemei, don't be sad. We've just celebrated our wedding night early. When I pass the imperial examination, I'll welcome you into my home and make you my wife in grand style."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuemei forgot all about crying. Her mind was filled with thoughts of future wealth and glory. Blinded by sweet words, she immediately and shyly embraced Lin Xiucai.
The soft touch in his arms ignited Lin Xiucai's fighting spirit, and he pulled Li Yuemei around and rolled her over and over again.
......
For several days in a row, Yu Qingchuan came to see Ye Xiaoxiao, and the two of them would have a very pleasant conversation whenever they talked about medical matters.
After several exchanges, Yu Qingfeng became even more certain of her idea that her master would definitely like her.
He Jing, chopping wood in the yard, swung his axe with great force.
It was as if he wasn't chopping firewood, but someone's head.
His gaze toward Ye Xiaoxiao grew increasingly deep, but when the smiling woman looked at him, he lowered his eyes and remained silent.
“Miss Ye, I have come today to say goodbye. My master has sent a letter summoning me back. I am giving you this wooden plaque, which will make it easier for you to practice medicine in the future. We can study medicine together again in the future.”
Yu Qingchuan handed Ye Xiaoxiao a wooden plaque.
Ye Xiaoxiao took the sandalwood plaque. The flowing cloud design was lifelike, the texture was smooth, and a faint sandalwood fragrance lingered in her nose, which smelled very pleasant.
She was never one to be shy, so she thanked him and accepted the gift.
He Jing stared intently at Ye Xiaoxiao's every move, his eyes seemingly swirling with emotion.
She actually accepted it?
She actually accepted it!
It's just a broken wooden plaque. If she likes it, she can carve hundreds of them herself!
The He family escorted Yu Qingchuan to the village entrance before returning home.
As the group passed by the village chief's house, they heard Zhao Chunxiu cursing and swearing coming from the tightly closed courtyard.
"You good-for-nothing, how dare you do something so shameful to me!"
Immediately following was Li Yuemei's suppressed sobs.
Hearing the sounds inside, He Jing recalled that Ye Xiaoxiao used to live in a house like this, and his heart suddenly ached as if it had been pricked by a needle.
She must have had a very difficult time back then, right?
Ye Xiaoxiao turned her head and smiled brightly at him: "It's a good thing Zhao Chunxiu isn't my biological mother, and it's a good thing I met you all!"
