The shopkeeper was startled and looked confused, "What kind of book is the girl looking for?"
Lin Shu looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them. She approached the shopkeeper and said, "It's the kind of book that one can read secretly."
The shopkeeper frowned and said, "Guest, please tell me the title of the book. Our bookstore has all kinds of books. Just tell me the title and I will find it for you."
What should Lin Shu say? She couldn't say anything about Jin Nahongmei. These times were different.
Sooner or later, she would consummate her marriage with Su Xin, so she thought about buying a book and studying it, so as not to make both of them uncomfortable.
"Shopkeeper, please come here."
The shopkeeper leaned forward, and Lin Shu also leaned forward.
This time, no one else will hear what the two of them are talking about.
"The shopkeeper's book is about one woman and one man. I'm getting married and I want to study it."
The shopkeeper laughed out loud and gave her a look that everyone knew.
"Guest, why are you so nervous? We are all women. I will get it for you right now."
Lin Shu turned around uncomfortably and pretended to flip through the bookshelf.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought the book over and said, "Guest, this is out of print and very complete. It's just the price..."
"I understand, wrap it up for me."
She is not short of money now!
"Sister Shu, are you here to buy books?"
With lightning speed, Lin Shu snatched the book from the shopkeeper's hand and sandwiched it among the books on the bookshelf.
She turned around and it turned out to be Lin Qinghe, the youngest daughter of her second aunt's family.
Lin Qinghe is a young scholar who has become a scholar at a young age and is preparing to take the imperial examination this year.
Lin Qinghe held two books in his hands and had a delicate and elegant scholarly temperament.
Lin Shu took out the three books containing personal items and said, "Well, let's buy some books and take a look."
Lin Qinghe was quite pleased, "It's very valuable that Sister Shu can regain her love for learning. But books are expensive. Do you have enough money?"
"If it's not enough, I just copied two books here that you can borrow for emergencies."
Lin Shu's hand holding the book tightened. Lin Qinghe was considered the baby of her second aunt's family.
But the clothes she was wearing had been washed and turned white, and the money for the clothes she was wearing was given by her second aunt.
This is really...
Lin Shu shook his head, "No, I sold my prey today and I have enough money. If you have any books you want to buy, bring them with you and I'll pay for them."
Lin Qinghe was a little surprised, "What the elder sister said turned out to be true. I thought she was lying to me again."
When she came, Lin Zheng at the door told her about selling the black bear, but only that she had paid for it, not much.
She didn't believe it at first, but she didn't believe it until she saw Lin Shu taking out the money.
The three of them chatted for a while, but Lin Qinghe had to go back to the college for classes, so he left in a hurry.
Lin Shu thought thoughtfully, this Lin Qinghe has a good character, if she is selected as the number one scholar, won't she have a backer?
As for letting her take the exam by herself, forget it. It would be a nightmare and she didn't want to go through it again.
Then Lin Shu went to buy clothes, fabrics, rice, meat, and condiments, and filled the oxcart.
Lin Zheng wanted her to save money several times, as this is not how she spends money, but she never said anything.
Lin Shu bought some steamed buns, and the two of them drove the bullock cart back to the village.
"Lin Zheng, here it is."
Lin Shu handed her three steamed buns. It was already past noon and her stomach was empty. She didn't have to watch the oxcart all the time, so it was no problem to eat a steamed bun.
Lin Zheng took it and started eating it, "Lin Shu, you have really changed."
The two of them didn't like each other before. Lin Zheng thought she was pretentious, and Lin Shu thought she was vulgar.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shu could still share the buns with her peacefully.
Lin Shu raised his head slightly and let the cool wind blow on his body, taking away the heat.
"Once you marry your husband, you want to live a good life."
Lin Zheng nodded in agreement, "This man is really amazing. After I married my husband, I also wanted to make more money and buy him some rare things."
"Every time I come home, my husband is waiting for me at the door, which makes me very happy."
Lin Shu listened to Lin Zheng's ramble and couldn't help but wonder if Su Xin was waiting for her at the door of the house.
…
Su Xin cooked the meal and tidied up the house, then stood at the door of the thatched house and poked her head around.
Shen Shi'an came out of the room, "Su Xin, are you waiting for...Miss Lin?"
Su Xin walked over and helped him, "The injury on your head has not healed yet, so there is no need to come out to pick up the wife."
Shen Shi'an shook his head, "I'm not dizzy anymore."
Although they are a fake couple, they still have to do a good job on the surface and not make any mistakes.
He touched the wound on his head. He didn't expect that such a small scar was left after he hit it hard in the corner of the flower building...
Su Xin thought he was sad, so she comforted him: "It's okay, my wife doesn't judge people by their appearance. If you're worried, I'll just comb your hair and cover it up."
Shen Shi'an was startled and waved his hands quickly, it would be nice to have this scar.
If he becomes ugly, that person will no longer be interested in him.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Su Xin stopped talking. The two of them leaned against the door, waiting for Lin Shu to come back.
Although Su Xin had some objections to Shen Shi'an, he also wanted to live in harmony with him.
If there is a rift between the two of them, the wife will be distressed, and the wife cannot be worried.
After a while, Su Xin saw a black shadow swaying not far away.
He stepped out of the door, took a serious look, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"The wife is back."
After saying this to Shen Shi'an, he couldn't wait to run forward a few steps with a smile on his face.
Lin Shu looked at the two figures inside and outside the door and waved his hand.
Su Xin was stunned and wanted to wave his hand, but when he saw the person next to his wife, he gave up the idea.
There are outsiders here...
When the bullock cart arrived at the door, Su Xin said, "My wife, have you shown your body to the doctor?"
Lin Shu smiled and nodded, "Look, the doctor said it's okay. Come, let's unload the things back into the house together."
Su Xin and Shen Shi'an hurried forward to help until the things were unloaded.
Lin Shu handed a piece of pork to Lin Zheng, "Thank you for your hard work. I will visit my second aunt again tomorrow."
Lin Zheng didn't refuse. She was anxious to go home to see her husband, so she took the meat and drove the bullock cart back.
Su Xin stood next to Lin Shu, "Cousin Zheng, walk slowly."
Lin Shu turned his head, and Su Xin frowned. In an instant, Lin Shu felt that his heart was filled with something, and his whole body was filled with energy.
The two returned to the yard, and Shen Shi'an had already organized the things neatly into categories.
Su Xin said: "Shi An is really amazing."
Shen Shi'an showed a very faint smile and stood quietly aside, as quiet as if he didn't exist.
Lin Shu walked over and took out an indigo ready-made garment, "Su Xin, look at it, you like it."
"Did the wife buy it for me?"
Su Xin took it and touched the clothes. They were very soft to the touch. He had never touched such soft material before.
He also likes the color, it's not boring or ostentatious.
He hugged the clothes, his smile deepened, and he said happily: "I'll try it on my wife."
Then he entered the house.
Lin Shu took out another light blue dress and gave it to Shen Shi'an, "It's for you."
Shen Shi'an was startled, pursed his lips and said, "Miss Lin, we agreed..."
"Of course I remember, but you are also mine in name. You have what Su Xin has. I don't treat my own people differently."
Shen Shi'an hesitated for a while, then took the clothes with his knuckled hands and held them in his arms.
The smell of new clothes penetrated his nostrils. He lowered his head and spoke muffledly.
"Do I also need to show it to Miss Lin?"
