Chapter 50 A scholar came to the village

Linjia Village was particularly lively today. At this hour, it was already dark, and most of the villagers gathered on the threshing floor of the village. People came from every household, and almost the whole village was mobilized.

The old and young in the village were whispering to each other, discussing Aunt Jiang's matter in twos and threes. Most people did not believe it, but this matter was said by the village chief himself and has been confirmed. Tomorrow, people will be arranged to start building bamboos to drain the water from the mountain.

Drain it down.

The villagers who had been worried about the water source all day were happy and relieved when they heard that they had found the water source. Some even cried happily, and those who had gone to other villages to borrow water earlier had even more disappointed faces.

, I regretted that my intestines were blue.

If I had known I could find water! Who would spend money and send food to borrow water!

"Although Aunt Jiang is a little bit harsh, she still has a good heart. She discovered that the water source was not secretly hidden. She actually told the village so that everyone could use it."

"That's right, I thought she would hide it secretly!"

"I heard that she went to town to do business and made a lot of money! It's amazing!"

"Hey, if I had known she was so good at stealing my eggs, I wouldn't have quarreled with her!"

"Who says it's not the case? When I helped her look for her younger son, the older ones went from house to house one by one to thank the village. Her sons are so sensible."

"..."

People in the village began to gossip, detailing Jiang Yan's various behaviors. Some of them who were not familiar with her insisted on holding back some kind words to praise her.

In addition to finding the water source that excited the whole village, there was another thing that also excited the villagers: a scholar came to the village!

Moreover, this scholar will also help the villagers remember their names and register the list of people from each household who will be sent out to help build bamboo in the village. In other words, many people can see with their own eyes what this scholar looks like.

For these poor fellows from the countryside, being able to speak a few words with Mr. Xiu Cai was a once-in-a-lifetime blessing, and all the young people in the village were immediately mobilized.

"Everyone, don't make noises and crowds! Tomorrow we will go to the mountains to cut bamboo. Each family will provide a strong laborer. They all line up and register their names with Yu Xiucai."

The village chief looked at the crowds of villagers rushing around Yu Xiucai. He hurriedly opened the crowd and directed everyone to line up.

Jiang Yan, who arrived belatedly, led her two sons and surrounded the crowd.

"I heard that this Yu Xiu is the fiancé of the Lin family's bastard? His name is Yu Xuan, right?"

"That's right, people who have read books have different names, like us... the one who makes a lot of money..."

"Then Liu Xiaomeng is unlucky. Even if he kills his own parents, he can't even keep his engaged husband!"

"Who says it's not the case... She is a natural nemesis. Now in the Lin family... I don't know what will happen..."

"..."

Several women who were close to each other were whispering to each other, but their voices were not quiet at all. During the conversation, they did not forget to praise Yu Xiucai for what an official she was, as if she was about to become an official in the next moment.

Jiang Yan's face looked a little ugly.

She followed the gazes of several people discussing and looked at Yu Xuan in the crowd. She was wearing an off-white gown, the belt around her waist was embroidered with simple auspicious cloud patterns, the sleeves were made larger than ordinary clothing, and her hair was neatly tied.

Behind her, she was tied with a light-colored hairband. Her figure was slender, her waist was tight and straight, and she was rustling in the wind.

No wonder people in the village are so gossipy.

This scholar was indeed handsome in appearance, and exuded a scholarly air that was not seen in others. Although he was surrounded by people, he was still slow and leisurely, and his voice was strong and powerful, as if he had his own magic power, attracting the villagers to follow his orders.

"Scholars are just different. They talk, do, and even sit differently from those of us digging holes in the soil." Lin Xi murmured, looking at Yu Xuan in the crowd, she felt that he was the bright moon in the sky.

And I am just dust in the mud.

Jiang Yan listened to Yan Xian's words, and when she turned around, she saw the two of them looking at Yu Xuan eagerly, especially Lin Nan, whose eyes changed from unwilling to angry to finally empty.

"Is this Xiaomeng's previous fiancé?"

Lin Nan nodded feebly, with a rare melancholy voice: "Mom, let's go over, Xiao Meng and Big Brother are also in front."

Jiang Yan nodded, everyone in the village had to gather, so Lin Dong and Liu Xiaomeng came to the threshing floor early.

The three of them walked to the side, where Lin Dong and the others were chatting with the village chief's two sons.

Lin Fangzi's eyes lit up and he ran over happily, chattering in Jiang Yan's ear: "Auntie, you are here too. Brother Dongzi and I were talking about you just now. Auntie, you are so awesome.

I always thought you were unreliable before, just like the kind of femme fatale woman mentioned in the drawing books, but now I know that Auntie..."

Before Lin Fangzi could speak, he was interrupted by Lin Dong: "You are a femme fatale, you are not allowed to talk about my mother like that!"

The Lin family brothers were furious and looked at Lin Fangzi one by one. Lin Fangzi's face turned red with embarrassment and he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Oh... I know, I said the wrong thing, Brother Dongzi,

Don’t you want to learn how to read?”

"I will teach you from now on! Let me tell you, that Yu Xiucai is my teacher. Every time I go to the mayor, I go to him to learn how to read! Today he came to my house to visit relatives, and my father happened to pull him out to register with the villagers.

name."

"Are Yu Xiucai related to your family?"

Jiang Yan asked doubtfully. There was no such thing in her original memory.

"Yes! His father and my father are familiar with each other, and my father has also helped his family. The teacher is the only scholar in our village, which is amazing! He taught me a lot of words. I will teach you later!"

"..."

That’s not necessary!

Jiang Yan refused wildly in her heart. She didn't know how good Yu Xuan was at teaching. Lin Fangzi couldn't do it anyway. If he were to teach her, the children in her family would go straight to the wrong end.

Jiang Yan glanced at Yu Xuan, then looked at Liu Xiaomeng who lowered his head quietly: "Xiaomeng, what's going on between you and this Yu Xuan?"

Liu Xiaomeng was startled and trembled with fear. She had heard all the comments in the village, and her mother-in-law must have heard it too. I was afraid that her mother-in-law had misunderstood something, so she immediately said: "Mom! Don't listen to other people's nonsense. I have no other thoughts about Yu Xuan."

, and I have never regretted it. Ever since he broke off the engagement with me and chose my cousin, I gave up. I just want to live a good life with Brother Nan! Whether he is a master or a high-ranking official in the future has nothing to do with me!"

Seeing her daughter-in-law shaking with fear, Jiang Yan softened her voice and said, "I'm not saying you have anything to do with him. I don't care what the people in the village say! I want to ask you, Yu Xuan breaks off the engagement with you.

Did he say it himself, or did it come from your uncle’s family?”

Lin Nan said angrily: "I know this. It was Yu Xuan who divorced himself. He disliked Xiaomeng as he had no parents and no one at home could help him. He is an ungrateful person. No matter how many books he reads or how big an official he becomes in the future,

I even look down on him!"
