Chapter 003



Marry into the wife's family?

When Xie Shu heard this word suddenly come out of Ximo's mouth, the impact it had on him was no less than before.

His brows subconsciously frowned slightly, but then relaxed.

In fact, for Xie Shu, marrying into another's family is not as difficult to accept as it is for many men.

Everything has its historical reasons. The custom of marrying into a woman's family originated because ancient people attached great importance to the continuation of the family.

But Xie Shu didn't expect that the original body was actually a son-in-law.

After all, in the general opinion, if a man is good at doing things, why would he marry into someone else's family? A man with a high aspiration would not do that.

I don't know what the original body is like...

But in this way, all the previous doubts can be explained. Why is there no one else here except Ximo, and why Ximo persuaded him to live a good life here.

Seeing Xie Shu's expression was not right, Xi Mo secretly hated himself for being quick-witted. He never dared to say the words "marry into the wife's family" in front of Xie Shu, so why did he say it just now on impulse? And taking the imperial examination was even more of a sore spot for Xie Shu.

In Jinling, everyone knows the master's past deeds. He passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen. How glorious it was...

But in the next two provincial examinations, the master failed both times and withdrew from Jinling Academy.

Xi Mo's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "Master is already a student now, just take the exam slowly."

Hearing this, Xie Shu also came back to his senses. The word "shengyuan" only appeared in the imperial examination. It was an annual examination held in the colleges of prefectures and states. After being admitted, they were called "shengyuan", commonly known as "xiucai". There was also an imperial examination here. It seems that even if the history is different, the evolution is not much different.

In ancient times, once one passed the examination for a scholar, he would leave the common people class and be called a "scholar". No wonder Ximo called him Mr. Xie at the beginning.

After figuring out everything, Xie Shu smiled faintly at the uneasy boy in front of him and said, "Indeed, I was thinking wrong before."

How could Xie Shu not see Xi Mo's good intentions when he said this.

Xie Shu had just come into this world, and the only person who had been taking good care of him was this servant who was much younger than him. It was also because of the other party's sincerity that Xie Shu felt that he was trustworthy.

However, Xie Shu was destined not to tell the other party the truth, and he also had to pave the way for a change in his character.

Unexpectedly, the master was not only not angry, but also listened to the advice.

Xi Mo seemed to be walking on the clouds, with an extremely unrealistic feeling. But such a master is really great!

Xi Mo had never been so hopeful before, hoping that Xie Shu could always be the same as he is now.

He almost cried for joy. If he hadn't been afraid of being seen by his master, he would have turned around and wiped away his tears.

Seeing Ximo's eyes redden again, Xie Shu sighed helplessly in his heart. He said softly as if nothing had happened: "Ximo, get me a mirror."

Ximo immediately stood up with an "eh" and quickly went outside to get a mirror.

After a while, Xi Mo looked back to normal and handed a polished bronze mirror to Xie Shu.

When Xie Shu took the bronze mirror, his hand paused for a moment before he turned it to himself.

When Xie Shu saw the face clearly in the bronze mirror, he was a little surprised.

The face in the bronze mirror was so familiar, it looked very similar to myself when I was twenty years old.

Even though the bronze mirror blurred his complexion, Xie Shu could still see that he looked sick and very thin, which made him look a little depressed.

But these can all be changed. I originally thought it would be difficult to adapt to another person's body. After all, Xie Shu has become accustomed to his original face, and this is the best way now.

But in this case, Xie Shu couldn't understand why he would choose to marry into the family of his wife, since he had a complete body, a good-looking appearance, and had passed the imperial examination.

And the wife he has never met has now become the most difficult problem that Xie Shu has to face.

Xie Shu could only secretly hope that his analysis was correct. The original owner was probably dissatisfied with marrying into the family and did not have a close relationship with his wife.

But I still need to find out what is going on.

Xie Shu hesitated for a rare moment. He used the tea to moisten his dry Adam's apple again, cleared his throat and said, "Ximo, by the way, I was unconscious these few days. Has anyone come to see me?"

Ximo was a little confused when he heard this and didn't know how to answer.

Why does the master ask this?

Because Xie Shu has always had a distant relationship with the Yu family, and he was a son-in-law after all, but he didn't know how to get closer to Yu Chuxi, so he was inevitably looked down upon.

Although Xie Shu lived in Yu Chuxi's yard, the two had never slept together. The day after their marriage, Xie Shu moved to another room.

Everyone in the inner courtyard who knew about it was silenced by Lord Yu, but over the past few years, some rumors did spread. So who would care about Xie Shu?

But Ximo thought again, how could the master not know this? He must have a reason for asking this.

Suddenly Xi Mo had a flash of inspiration and understood that his master must have figured everything out after going through a life-and-death ordeal, which is why he was so different from before.

The master clearly saw Yu Langjun coming to see him yesterday, and he must have been touched, but how could the master have the nerve to take the initiative to talk about Yu Langjun...

Xi Mo was very excited when he thought of this. It would be great if Xie Shu could forget Wei Qingtong and live a good life with Yu Langjun.

Xi Mo was determined to share his master's worries. He spoke well of Yu Langjun in an exaggerated tone: "When Yu Langjun came home from work yesterday, he knew you were sick and was very anxious. He came to see you immediately. Not only that, he was afraid that you were not well, so he asked someone to invite the best doctor in the city, Zhang, to treat you. Master, tell me, shouldn't you thank Yu Langjun?"

Yu Langjun...

Xie Shu originally wanted to ask about his "wife", but he didn't expect Xi Mo to keep talking about this person.

But Xie Shu listened carefully. To be honest, he still remembered the scene he saw when he first opened his eyes.

Finally, Ximo had nothing else to say.

Xie Shu felt regretful but also relieved. It seemed that his wife really had a bad relationship with him and she didn't even look at him. This was exactly what he wanted. Xie Shu would try his best to avoid any contact between them in the future.

After Xi Mo finished speaking, he saw that Xie Shu was silent for a long time, and felt disappointed. At this time, Xie Shu nodded slightly. He said gently: "You are right. When I get better, I should thank you in person."

On that day, Xie Shu drank three doses of Chinese medicine in the morning, afternoon and evening respectively.

At first, Xie Shu was not used to the taste of the Chinese medicine, but later he got used to it and drank it in one gulp with his eyes closed. He thought to himself that after he got better, he should start exercising as soon as possible, otherwise it would be fatal if he got sick again.

After Ximo got his answer in the morning, for some reason, he seemed very happy and did not forget to take good care of him.

Now that Xie Shu was able to sit up, he asked Xi Mo to find some historical documents for him to read.

Some things are hard to ask, but books are the best way.

After getting the book, Xie Shu found that the font in the book was similar to the regular script in his previous life. He was certain in his heart, opened the title page, and saw the original owner's signature.

So his name is also Xie Shu?

After that, Xie Shu flipped through the pages one by one, and finally had a general understanding of the history of this world.

But after all, there were not many records of the events of the current dynasty, and Xie Shu only knew that the country's name was Qing.

Daqing was founded forty-two years ago and has gone through three emperors. The current emperor has been in power for three years and changed the reign title to Tai'an.

Like previous dynasties, Daqing also continued to use the imperial examination system to enter officialdom.

Xie Shu looked carefully and found that the rules were similar to what he thought. Xie Shu still had many unknowns about this world. Although he had no idea about the imperial examination, familiar things always gave people a sense of stability.

However, Xie Shu also noticed that there were some words in the classics that he could not understand and had never seen before.

What does "Shuang'er" mean? What does "Fulang" mean?

Xie Shu buried these questions in his heart one by one, waiting to explore them slowly in the future.

By the third day, Xie Shu had completely recovered.

After examining him, Doctor Zhang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Mr. Xie is much better now. He will just need to take some medicine to strengthen his body and replenish his energy."

When he met the young man in front of him, he thanked him softly with a natural expression. He had lost some weight now, and his usual clothes seemed a little loose on him, but there was an indescribable romantic temperament in him.

Doctor Zhang couldn't help but secretly think that he had seen wrong. During the past few days when he was treating Xie Shu, he originally thought that Xie Shu, who was willing to marry into the Yu family at the cost of his reputation, was a hypocritical and noble person. He didn't expect...

It seems that the rumors are wrong, and Doctor Zhang is not sure what the relationship between Xie Shu and Yu Chuxi is like.

But thinking that rumors are always like this, most of them are untrue, Doctor Zhang no longer hesitated, picked up the pen to write the last prescription, and asked Xi Mo to remember to boil it for Xie Shu to take for three days, and then said to Xie Shu happily: "Mr. Xie, I'm leaving first, and I won't bother Young Master Yu anymore. Please help me tell Young Master Yu."

Young master?

Xie Shu knew yesterday that this Mr. Yu had a high status. It turned out that he was still the young master.

Xie Shu originally intended to thank the other party later, so he naturally agreed.

Seeing this, Doctor Zhang's eyes lit up and no further words were needed.

After Xi Mo sent Doctor Zhang away, Xie Shu picked up the prescription on the table.

After seeing the handwriting clearly, Xie Shu felt his face getting hot unconsciously.

This medicine prescription is exactly the medicine prescribed by Doctor Zhang for strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy. Many of the medicinal materials used include precious ones, such as the century-old ginseng, which is rarely seen in modern times.

Although Xie Shu had only been in this world for a short time, he still found it difficult to calm down when he thought that all his current expenses were supported by his wife's "Yue's family".

Wait, he will have to thank the young master properly.

After Ximo sent Doctor Zhang back, Xie Shu asked Ximo to take him to see that man.

Xi Mo said nothing more. Not only that, he rummaged through the boxes and cupboards and found a stone-blue cloak for Xie Shu to put on, making his master look even more handsome and refined.

Seeing Xie Shu looking at him, Xi Mo touched his nose guiltily and said, "It's cold outside."

Xie Shu didn't think much about it and followed Xi Mo to an attic not far from his residence. Along the way, Xie Shu also met many servants of the Yu family, who looked at him from time to time, as if they were very curious.

Xie Shu was calm and composed. When he arrived at the attic, he saw that it was decorated very gorgeously, with flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, which was pleasing to the eye.

Xi Mo went forward and knocked on the door. He didn't know what he said to the person inside. After a while, Xi Mo came back happily and said, "Mr. Yu is inside. Please go in quickly."
