Chapter 146 Lin Jingyou Returns to the County
Yan Hui and Lin Jingyou left, and the other students surrounding Ouyang Bo moved away from him out of fear.
"Brother Ouyang, I suddenly feel unwell. Let's discuss this next time!"
"Brother Ouyang, I suddenly remembered that my grandmother is not in good health. I have to rush back home to take care of her, so I won't stay with you for long!"
"Brother Ouyang, my parents are old, and I have to go back to help them with farm work. I'll go home first."
"Brother Ouyang, I just finished my exam and I'm a little sleepy. I'm afraid I'll disturb your mood, so I'll go back to the inn and catch up on some sleep."
……
There were also kind-hearted students who tried to persuade him, "Brother Ouyang, while the matter is not too serious now, you should quickly go and apologize to them!" After saying that, he shook his head and left.
One by one, they finished their words quickly and left Ouyang Bo's side quickly, avoiding him as if he were the plague.
On the way, they were still reflecting on whether they had said anything they shouldn't have said to Yan Hui, and whether they had offended either of them.
Before leaving, the man who had spoken for Ouyang Bo came up to him and said, "Pooh, what bad luck! I should have known not to get to know you. Nothing good will come of being with you!"
Only Ouyang Bo was left, standing there blankly.
It's over, it's over.
There were also some smarter students who caught up and wanted to apologize to Lin Jingyou and the others, but they were rebuffed by them with indifference.
It took a day and a half by carriage to reach Qinghe County. When we arrived at the county seat, the sun had just set.
Lin Jingyou remembered that Shen Wanning once said that there was a milk tea shop called Mingyue Tower in the county town, so they got off the carriage, asked a local for directions, and then headed towards Mingyue Tower.
Today's milk tea has been sold out, and Lin Jingce and others are packing up the shop.
"Sorry, the milk tea is sold out today. Please come earlier tomorrow, gentlemen." Mo Nan saw Yan Hui and Lin Jingyou walk in, holding a rag and said with a smile.
Lin Jingyou just opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he saw Lin Jingce look up and shout in surprise, "Third brother, you're back? You're not in Fuzhou, why are you back at this time?"
She quickly walked over to Lin Jingyou, grabbed his arms and looked at him again and again, "Hey, there's no one to take care of you outside, you look so thin. If your mother sees you later, she will be heartbroken again."
"Brother, it's okay. This is my classmate, Yan Hui. He's come back with me to stay for a while." Lin Jingyou pointed at Yan Hui and introduced him. This was what they had agreed on on the way. Yan Hui would not return to the academy for a few days, but would stay at Lin Jingyou's house for a few days, and then return to Fuzhou with Lin Jingyou later.
Yan Hui cupped his fists and called out, "Brother Lin."
Lin Jingce nodded as a greeting, "Master Yan."
"Brother, didn't Wan Ning come to the milk tea shop with you today? Why didn't I see her?" Lin Jingyou looked around and didn't see Shen Wan Ning, so he asked.
Lin Jingce quickly replied, "She didn't come to the milk tea shop today. The grapes on the farm had just been fertilized a few days ago, so she went to check on the farm. I guess she's already returned to the Lin residence by now and is waiting for us there!"
Lin Jingyou nodded. "Should we go back to Daqing Village today? Or should we stay in the county town for a night?"
Yan Hui quickly replied, "Let's rest in the county for a night before going back. I haven't had a good rest in the past few days due to the exams. Plus, the carriage has been bumpy all the way here for the past two days. I'm exhausted. Can you let me get a good night's sleep, Brother Jingyou?"
Lin Jingce glanced at Yan Hui and replied with a smile, "Of course, we've almost packed up, let's go back first! The family should have dinner ready and waiting for us."
Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu and a few others were originally just guarding the house. They felt that their task was too easy and it was embarrassing to take Shen Wanning's daily salary of 100 coins for nothing, so they took on the cooking work.
Several people took a carriage back to the Lin residence. Li Si, who was guarding the gate today, knew that Lin Jingce and the others would usually come back at this time, so he was guarding the door early.
"Master, you're back. The young lady just went to the kitchen to check today's dishes. She should be waiting for you in the main room now!" Li Si said as he opened the door.
Lin Jingce nodded and introduced Lin Jingyou to him, "This is my third brother and his classmate and friend."
"It turns out to be the Third Master, and this young master. Come in quickly. The young lady will definitely be very happy when she knows this." Li Si said.
During this period of time, they have figured out the population of the Lin family, but apart from Lin Jingce, they have not met any other members of the Lin family.
Several people walked into the main room, where Shen Wanning was sitting with her hands on her chin, in a daze.
However, Shen Wanning was actually chatting with netizens in the live broadcast room, which is her favorite thing to do when she is bored. Sometimes netizens would tell her some modern gossip, making her feel as if she was still in the modern world.
Feeling her vision darken, she looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Third brother, why are you back? Aren't we supposed to wait for the results in Fuzhou?"
Lin Jingyou raised his lips, looking gentle and affectionate. "I haven't been home for a long time, so I came back to take a look. Besides, the results will be announced in half a month, so I might as well come back and see if there is anything I can help with."
"Oh, I only saw Brother Jingyou and Cousin Shen. They didn't see a living person as big as me standing here." Yan Hui deliberately interrupted them.
Shen Wanning chuckled and quickly greeted him, "Master Yan, your arrival truly brings honor to our humble Lin residence!"
"Cousin Shen, you're too polite. Your third brother and I are classmates and brothers. Just call me Brother Yan. Calling me Master Yan is too polite."
"Okay, then I won't be polite, Brother Yan." Shen Wanning had just called out that when she remembered that Captain Yan's last name was also Yan, and she seemed to have just called Captain Yan "Brother Yan." Now there were two Brother Yans.
"Hey, Sister Wan Ning." Yan Hui quickly responded and started calling her sister.
"Please take a seat. They will bring the food over soon and we can eat and chat at the same time."
As they spoke, several people sat down around the table.
At this time, Qinqishuhua and Dongnanxixi also returned. After several maids brought them food, they went out to the side room to eat.
At the dinner table, Yan Hui praised, "I just heard Brother Lin say that this meal was made by three men. I didn't expect that men also have such cooking skills. It's delicious, really delicious."
Speaking of this, Shen Wanning suddenly remembered what happened to the three of them. She asked tentatively, "Brother Yan is from the capital. Does he know General Dai Yongcheng of Huaihua?"
Yan Hui nodded, "I know! Dai Yongcheng is the younger brother of Concubine Xian. Dai Yongcheng won a decisive victory in a battle against Daliang. At that time, Concubine Xian was still a Jieyu, but because of this incident, he was promoted to Concubine Xian."
"Is the virtuous concubine now favored by the emperor?" Shen Wanning asked again.
Yan Hui thought for a moment, "Not that she's particularly favored. The Emperor and the Empress treat each other with respect. As for the other concubines, they generally treat them equally, showing no particular favoritism."
