Chapter 244: Yingzhi Lincha is up
After dinner, Wen Yan washed up and went to the yard to enjoy the cool air and watch the moon, accompanied by Brother Chen Qi.
After Ying Zhilin washed up, Pei'er took away the dirty clothes and waited for Aunt Liu to wash them tomorrow.
"Wait." Ying Zhilin called Pei'er.
She took out a handkerchief from her clothes and said, "You can take the rest."
Pei'er took a look at it, and the handkerchief looked more and more familiar, as if it belonged to the young lady!
How did the young lady's handkerchief end up in the hands of her son-in-law?
Pei'er didn't think about it too much, and went to the well in the main courtyard with the dirty clothes.
As a result, when she arrived at the well, she found Ying Zhilin was there too.
He was carefully applying soap nuts on his handkerchief, his movements very skillful.
Pearl's eyes widened.
My son-in-law is not very good at studying, but he is very skilled at farm work and housework.
After Pei'er put down other people's clothes, she started washing hers and Wen Yan's.
Ying Zhilin didn't say anything, but Pei'er felt the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
Then Ying Zhilin asked, "Did you encounter anything interesting when you went out this time?"
"Auntie, you don't want to find out our whereabouts, do you?" Pei'er looked at him suspiciously.
Ying Zhilin said, "Following Wen Yan, you have become a lot braver."
Pearl stuck out her tongue: "Anyway, we are back, it doesn't hurt to tell you some things."
Pei'er concealed the story of Huo Yaoxing's trap, and then told about what she had seen and heard along the way.
After hearing this, Ying Zhilin couldn't help but reveal a gentle look on his face: "She is always especially gentle to the weak."
After rinsing it for the last time, Ying Zhilin took the handkerchief and left.
Pei'er accidentally saw his expression and shuddered for no reason, and instantly got goose bumps: "Eh... men with lustful thoughts are really scary."
You should know that Lin Huidong crossed the courtyard.
Brother Chen Qi has returned to his room to rest.
After two months of training, he can already take care of himself with basic eating, drinking, defecation and urination.
Wen Yan also sat by the window and wrote and drew.
Ying Zhilin hung up his handkerchief to dry and went to the study to read.
Sitting by the window, you can just see Wen Yan's profile.
He touched his chest.
Now that I've fallen in love with her, I don't want to let her go no matter what.
But she only regarded marriage as a contract.
If there is even the slightest transgression, she will erect a high wall.
It was good enough to keep him out.
If you make her angry, she might even abandon you.
She was willing to help those weak disaster victims she had never met, but she was actually...
At this moment, he wished he were weak and helpless...
With a snap.
A ball of paper fell on the book.
Ying Zhilin was hit on the forehead by something.
He turned around and found Ying Zhilin looking at him.
He picked up the paper ball and just as he looked up, he found Wen Yan looking at him with a smile.
She was holding a ball of paper in her hand and said, "Just read a book. Why are you staring at me?"
Ying Zhilin avoided her gaze and said, "Sorry, I was so lost in thought that I lost my composure."
Wen Yan looked at him suspiciously, always feeling that he was lying to her.
But she had no evidence, so she had to lower the gauze curtain, turn off the lights and rest.
Ying Zhilin touched the tip of his nose. Thinking about her was also a matter of fact, so he wasn't lying, right?
After returning to his home, Wen Yan felt particularly at ease and fell asleep immediately.
Wen Yan slept soundly and was unconscious.
It was only when Pei'er called her that she woke up.
"Miss, my uncle asked me to wake you up for breakfast."
"Ying Zhilin?" Wen Yan's stomach was rumbling with hunger, and she didn't have time to think about it. She washed up and went to the yard.
Because there are so many people, we have to eat at two tables.
Wen Yan sat down at her own table.
Ying Zhilin was serving food to everyone when he suddenly cried out "Ouch" and his hands trembled.
"Your hand is burned!" Wen Yan noticed it immediately, "You're not hurt, are you?"
Ying Zhilin turned over his arm, and his exposed wrist was red.
"Oh, that's serious!"
Wen Yan took his hand and walked towards the water tank: "Quick, soak it in cold water. Pei'er, there is a bottle of burn ointment in the dressing table where porcelain bottles are placed. It's a red porcelain bottle. Come and get it."
"Oh, I'll go right away." Pearl turned and ran away.
"Soak it in cold water quickly, so it won't blister or fester." Wen Yan pressed his hand into the water tank and scolded anxiously, "This is your right hand. You must use it when reading and writing. How can you be so careless!"
Ying Zhilin said aggrievedly: "You think I can't pass the exam, so whether my hands are good or not doesn't matter much."
Wen Yan glanced at him sideways and said nothing more.
Ying Zhilin was laughing in his heart.
It seems that as long as I am weak and clumsy, it is easy to get her attention.
Second Auntie, however, was groaning and crying out in distress: "There's a water shortage everywhere now. How can you use such a big tank of water to soak your hands? How are you going to drink it in the future?"
She ordered Ying Zhixue in an exaggerated tone to get a basin to replace his hand.
But no one paid any attention to her.
After soaking in cold water for half an hour, the wound no longer felt hot.
Wen Yan applied burn ointment on him, and then everyone started to eat.
After dinner.
Ying Zhilin asked someone to go to the academy to ask for three days' leave.
He wanted to take advantage of these few days to get rid of his second aunt and her family.
He went back to his room to get the money first.
He had just opened the cabinet where he kept his money when he stopped again.
He turned around and went to Wen Yan to borrow money.
"You want to borrow some money from me?" This guy looks like a pauper, but he is actually very rich. Why would he need to borrow money from her?
Ying Zhilin looked away guiltily and touched his nose: "I...well, Zhixue is of marriageable age, and I have to save the money I have as a dowry for her."
Wen Yan: “…”
He saved up the dowry for Ying Zhixue himself, and Wen Yan had nothing to say.
He immediately gave him fifty taels of silver.
Twenty taels are enough to buy an old house and one hundred kilograms of grain.
But he didn't return the extra money, instead he wrote her an IOU: "I will pay you back when I make money in the future."
This created an extra bond between them.
Even if she breaks up with him and divorces him in the future, he can still use this IOU to ask her to pay him back.
If he asked her to pay him back ten cents a day, fifty taels would be enough for him to pay her back for thirteen years.
No matter what the bond is, it must be there.
Ying Zhilin was satisfied and walked away with light steps.
As soon as he left, Aunt Liu arrived.
She also brought six or seven women, but her daughter was not among them.
Maybe the marriage is about to take place, but the husband's family does not allow it.
Wen Yan didn't ask any more questions.
Wen Yan was surprised and asked, "Aunt Liu, why are you here so early?"
"Of course I care about your affairs very much." After dinner last night, she took her husband out to pick a wife.
The youngest was only fourteen years old, and the oldest was forty-two. Their faces showed the sorrow of hard work, and there were already white hairs in their hair.
Wen Yan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The woman suddenly became nervous, her brows furrowed into 川 (river-shaped) wrinkles, and her hands rubbed the hem of her clothes nervously: "Xiu...Xiucai's wife, I...I can do anything.
You...you think it's not good for me to be a maid, you can serve tea and water and clean the house.
Please, don't screen me out. I really need this job."
As the woman spoke, she bent her knees and knelt down to Wen Yan.
