Chapter 36 Serving the Wife
Que Hongjin reached out and gently took it.
His movements were very gentle and careful, and he seemed to cherish these books very much.
He flipped through the pages carefully, with a flickering light in his eyes.
He just looked at Qiao Su Luo like that, with a gentle look in his eyes.
"What happened in the past was not my wife's fault."
"The wife doesn't actually need to do this."
When saying this, Que Hongjin's eyes and eyebrows became more profound, with a deeper meaning.
Qiao Su Luo just asked seriously: "Do you like it?"
Que Hongjin smiled and said elegantly, "Yes, I like it."
Qiao Su Luo also smiled, "As long as you like it."
"If you're bored, you can read a book."
After a pause, Qiao Suluo added, "Once I redeem the three of them, I will send you to the academy to study."
In their Dajing Dynasty, one could enter the officialdom by passing the imperial examination.
Both male and female beastmen can serve as officials, but most female beastmen are unwilling to study hard and take the imperial examinations. They only need to marry a beastman who is an official to enjoy good treatment, so most officials are male beastmen.
Que Hongjin likes books and should also like to go to the academy to study.
Moreover, the Nanlu Academy in their county is also a famous academy in the Dajing Dynasty, with a large collection of books.
After hearing these words and looking at Qiao Suluo's expression, Que Hongjin knew that his wife was telling the truth.
The smile in his eyes became stronger. "No need. I'll be fine at home."
The cost of studying was too expensive, but he appreciated her kindness.
Now he is no longer the young master of the Peacock Family. It is very hard for her to make money by setting up a stall every day, and he no longer has unrealistic dreams.
Qiao Su Luo seemed to know what he was worried about and said seriously, "Don't worry about the expenses. I'll take care of it."
When Que Hongjin heard this, his expression became serious, and his eyes, which were usually calm and indifferent, were now filled with dark vortices.
He put down the pen in his hand, slowly stood up, came to stand in front of Qiao Su Luo, and whispered softly: "What a silly girl."
He didn't know what to do with her.
"Why is my wife so nice to me?"
He had never seen such a female beast before. She was like the sun illuminating his silent and cold heart, causing ripples in the calm lake of his heart, which could not calm down for a long time.
"No wife would be willing to support her beastly husband in his studies."
Female beastmen would not do such a stupid thing. Male beastmen who want to study have to rely on their own family, and after getting married they usually have to rely on their own dowry.
After many male beastmen get married, the dowry also belongs to their wives, and they have no right to make the decision themselves.
If a female beastman wants to study, it is normal for a male beastman to support her studies. Almost no female beastman would do such laborious work.
So what Qiao Su Luo said seemed incredible to him.
He lowered his head and looked at her with a deep expression, wanting to ask where she came from and why she was so good.
Qiao Su Luo's eyelashes moved, and she said, "They are them, and I am me. Don't worry, I will send you to the academy to study."
Que Hongjin leaned slightly closer to Qiao Suluo and whispered in her ear, "So, what does my wife want?"
"Does the wife want this as a condition?"
As he spoke, Que Hongjin moved his fingers, walked forward and gently hugged her, letting her lean into his arms.
He lowered his head and moved his lips downwards, his breath enveloping her instantly.
The bewitching voice in my ear sounded immediately, "Does my wife need my service?"
As beastly husbands, this is their responsibility and obligation.
Qiao Su Luo was completely stunned. They were talking about going to the academy to study, so how did the topic suddenly turn to this?
She quickly pushed Que Hongjin away and said, "No, I don't want to serve you. There are no conditions."
"When you become an official with great achievements, you can protect me a little more."
"If you're doing business, you'll be too conspicuous. Without the protection of power, you'll be easily bullied."
"So just think of me as wanting to enjoy the shade under a big tree, and wanting you to become a big tree to protect me."
Qiao Suluo thought that if she said there were no conditions, Que Hongjin would never trust her.
It would be better to state some conditions.
This way he can still trust himself.
Otherwise, people would think she had some feelings for him.
"I'm self-aware of my situation. Don't worry, I won't have any other thoughts about you."
That's the truth.
"Well, I'm going back first."
Qiao Suluo was afraid that something might happen if she stayed any longer, so she hurriedly left Que Hongjin's room.
Que Hongjin looked at her fleeing figure with a faint smile on his lips.
He rubbed his fingers and said thoughtfully, "I've lost a lot of weight and become a lot whiter."
The touch just now was very obvious.
And the aura around her was different from before.
He wouldn't make a wrong judgment on this.
He sat down at the table again and picked up the five books to read.
"What a silly girl! She probably doesn't know that I made some annotations on my previous books while reading them."
“These five books are very clean.”
The same books, but not the same five books.
"So...how did she do it?"
Que Hongjin picked up a book and read it with great care. After reading a few pages, he found that the book was more comprehensive than any other books he had read before.
The few rare books he brought out from his family were handwritten copies. The original versions had long been lost, and the ones that have been passed down are all handwritten copies. Some of the content is incomplete, and even if someone repaired it later, there are still some missing parts.
But now this one is complete.
He couldn't keep calm at this moment, and there were huge waves in his heart.
I almost couldn't help but want to go to her room and ask what was going on.
But he pinched his brows helplessly, knowing that she probably wouldn't tell him.
…
After returning to her room, Qiao Su Luo calmed herself down and thought that although Que Hong Jin seemed gentle, she was actually very bewitching.
It rained for three days afterwards, so Qiao Su Luo couldn't go to the county to set up a stall, so she made some more konjac cakes at home.
By the way, malt sugar was also made.
As for the peach blossom wine, it has also fermented.
After the rain stops, we can continue to set up stalls and do business in the county.
But that night, when Qiao Su Luo was sleeping, she suddenly dreamed of her dog-night beast husband Yue Hanzheng.
After he was sold to Yaowang Valley, the people in Yaowang Valley used his blood to research medicine and treated him as a medicine man. They took his blood every day and fed him various kinds of medicine, which he had to eat.
Yue Hanzheng's expression became increasingly numb and desperate.
He didn't even resist.
My body is getting thinner and thinner.
One day, someone handed him a bowl of medicine. After he drank it, he vomited blood violently and soon died.
"The man is dead."
"The creation of the medicine man failed again."
"I thought he was strong enough, but I didn't expect he couldn't resist the effects of the drug."
"He's dead, so he doesn't have to take these medicines anymore. He can be considered relieved. We can just bury him in the back mountain."
"It's a shame for such a beautiful face. His wife was so cruel as to sell him to Medicine King Valley to be a medicine man."
