The moonlight that shrouded the night finally dispersed as time passed, and a fish-belly white light shone on the horizon.
The quiet Dongshan Village soon ushered in a bustle.
The sky was just bright, and there were many people in the village. There were noisy sounds, and it looked quite lively from a distance.
The villagers who gathered this time, including men and women, old and young, held some construction tools in their hands and walked toward the thatched house where Su Qi'an and Qin Ziyin lived.
Fortunately, Su Qi'an is not a person who sleeps in. To be honest, after last night's battle, Su Qi'an didn't sleep at all.
In addition to thinking about how to go next, also review the bow and arrow you modified.
In the battle with the man in black, Su Qi'an was quite satisfied. He had used the power of the longbow to its extreme. He was able to gain the upper hand against an experienced veteran. If he told this, no one would believe it.
Su Qi'an didn't care whether outsiders believed it or not. Resurrecting his life made Su Qi'an understand the truth. Even if it was absolutely safe, Su Qi'an would always keep his trump card.
This is the real way to survive.
Although the battle with the man in black exposed his strength, it was only part of it. No one has a trump card these days.
Being able to defeat the man in black is enough to give Su Qi'an confidence. If the two of them meet again next time, Su Qi'an will definitely give him a big surprise.
Su Qian sat at the desk, looking at Qin Ziyin who was sleeping soundly, with a soft look on her face.
God had treated him well in this life, allowing him to have such a virtuous and beautiful wife. In order to live a good life, the best shortcut was to take the imperial examination.
No matter how you say it, Su Qi'an has a reputation as a scholar, and taking the imperial examination is the right way. Regardless of whether he passes the exam or not, in order to make Qin Ziyin live a good life, Su Qi'an has to try anything.
In less than a month, there will be county examinations in each county, and there is not much time left for Su Qi'an.
Although Wenwen Township is good, it still has to focus on career.
In the coming time, Su Qi'an will temporarily put aside the process of improving bows and arrows and prepare for the county examination with peace of mind.
Just as Su Qi'an was reading through various sages' books over and over again, suddenly, bursts of excitement sounded outside the window.
Su Qi'an felt a little strange and stood up and opened the door.
What they saw were Li Hu and Zhao Da. Behind them were villagers from Dongshan Village. It was a large village. At a rough glance, there were at least hundreds of people.
This accounts for almost one-fifth of the population of Dongshan Village.
With so many people dispatched, Su Qian thought something had happened and asked quickly.
"Li Hu, what happened? Why are there so many people gathered? Could it be that another vicious beast has come down the mountain?"
Li Hu smiled and waved his hand, and quickly explained, "Sir, you are worrying too much. There was no vicious beast attack, and there was no major incident in the village. The village is very good."
"So many people are here just to repair Mr.'s house."
Listening to Li Hu's explanation, Su Qi'an felt relieved. Although Su Qi'an wanted to improve Qin Ziyin's living quality, he did not speak.
Unexpectedly, these villagers all gathered together as if they knew.
Seeing Su Qi'an's confused look, Zhao Da said, "Sir, this matter has been hidden in our hearts for a long time. Not to mention his contribution to the villagers, he was originally a scholar and now he still lives in a thatched house. It's really It’s a bit outrageous.”
"We are rough people and don't know how to repay your kindness to your husband. After much deliberation, we should repair his house so that he and his wife can at least live comfortably."
"This...isn't good." Su Qian hesitated.
It's not that Su Qi'an is being pretentious, but he asked a large number of villagers to repair their houses. Su Qi'an, who has received modern education, still feels that the sentiment is a bit too much.
Seeing Su Qi'an's hesitation, Li Hu said quickly, "We know that sir is kind-hearted, but this matter is the intention of our villagers."
"My husband has lived in Dongshan Village for so many years, and he has rarely helped me on weekdays. I have seen him being bullied. Now he ignores his past grudges and treats us so well. We really deserve it."
"It is our blessing to be able to do something for our husband. We hope that he will not refuse. Moreover, in one month, he will take the imperial examination. We here also hope to gain some of his literary talent. If he is in high school, it will be good for us in Dongshan Village. It’s also a blessing.”
"Yes, Li Hu is right. Sir, for the next month, you can prepare for the exam with peace of mind. We will take care of the rest."
Beside him, the voices of approval from other villagers could be heard one after another. Su Qi'an wanted to refuse, but seeing such enthusiastic villagers, he swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips.
He knew that if some things were to come naturally, blocking them would have the opposite effect.
Su Qi'an glanced at everyone, cupped his hands in front of them, and said softly, "Here, I would like to thank you all in advance."
Li Hu and Zhao Da waved their hands, and everyone left quickly. They chose an open space not far from Su Qi'an's thatched house and immediately started getting busy.
Qin Ziyin, who was sleeping soundly, was also awakened by the noisy sound. After getting dressed, she came to Su Qi'an. The scene in front of her made her a little surprised.
Su Qi'an wrapped her arms around Qin Ziyin's waist and whispered, "It is my blessing to meet you, Su Qi'an."
"Ms. sir, what are you talking about?"
"Haha, it's nothing. My husband said that our lives will get better and better in the future."
…
Because of the reconstruction of Su Qi'an's house, Dongshan Village has not been so lively for a long time.
In the first few days, it was only the first group of villagers who were busy. Gradually, the news spread, and later, almost all the villagers in Dongshan Village came to help.
Of course, there is an element of trying to please Su Qi'an, but most of it is sincere.
After experiencing the big bug coming down the mountain and shopkeeper Guan leading bandits to attack the village, Su Qi'an later tried to calm the hearts of the dead villagers.
All these villagers realized that Su Qi'an, who drowned in the river and came back to life, was not an ordinary person.
The only possible explanation is that the current Su Qi'an is a Wenqu star from the sky who has descended to earth. With the wisdom of these villagers, they can only think so.
In addition, Li Hu and Zhao Da, who are Su Qi'an's biggest fans in the village, secretly reveal information from time to time.
They came to a surprising conclusion that Su Qi'an should be the reincarnation of the civil and military star in the sky.
This conclusion is incredible. Almost from the day the house was built, there was an extra group of people at Su Qi'an's door.
These people are all famous girls and wives in the village. Apart from chatting in the village, they also have an important task.
That is the matchmaker who introduces marriage.
These people have gathered in front of Su Qi'an's door from time to time these days, asking why they didn't come to the door.
Because of the visit a few days ago, Su Qi'an immediately vomited out the water he just drank.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to introduce a girl to Su Qian. In Da Liang, it was normal for a man of high status to have three wives and four concubines.
In their eyes, a rising potential stock like Su Qi'an is a piece of cake.
Introducing his wife was nothing, but the fierceness with which they opened their mouths made Su Qi'an unable to resist.
Who knows that Su Qi'an and Qin Ziyin, both talented and beautiful, will definitely not be able to become the main wife, but they can still be used as side wives and concubines.
As he spoke, he listed the young girls in the village who had not yet left the court, the youngest was only seven or eight years old.
If Su Qi'an looks down on these people and thinks they are too young, they, the older girls and younger wives, can do it too.
It was these fierce words that left Su Qi'an speechless for a while and drove the matchmakers out.
Qin Ziyin had no objection to this matter, but also persuaded Su Qi'an to take in concubines and several side wives.
Even if Su Qi'an failed the exam a month later, with the silver coins Su Qi'an had on hand, it was more than enough to take in a few concubines.
Now, Su Qi'an had half of the 50 taels from hunting the big bug beforehand, and last night the man in black gave another 100 taels as a gift.
A total of 150 taels. With this alone, you can find some good ones in the county, let alone Dongshan Village.
Looking at the serious Qin Ziyin, Su Qian's nose almost became angry.
After all, Su Qi'an has received modern education. When he came to Da Liang, it was impossible for Su Qi'an to say that he didn't have such thoughts in his heart.
But it was so fast, and it was recommended by his wife. Su Qi'an still couldn't accept it as a person.
Su Qian stood up, hugged Qin Ziyin back, put Qin Ziyin on his lap, and spoke a bit harshly.
"Madam, my husband has only been away for a few days, and you have been led astray by these little sisters-in-law in the village. I hope my husband won't teach you a lesson and see if you know you are wrong."
As he spoke, Su Qi'an made a move and slapped Qin Ziyin's high buttocks.
"Hey, sir, don't fight me." The slave family made a mistake, and I won't talk about it later. But concubinage is a tradition in Great Liang, and it is a good thing to be able to spread the word for your husband. "
Qin Ziyin talked and whispered.
"Hey, it seems that my wife has really learned bad things during the few days that my husband has been away. It seems that my husband needs to teach my wife a good lesson."
"Class? Sir, what is class?" Qin Ziyin tilted his head in confusion.
Su Qian hugged Qin Ziyin with both hands, and then threw her directly into the bed.
Then Su Qi'an rushed forward and whispered in Qin Ziyin's ear, "Madam, this is class."
Qin Ziyin's face was extremely red. The gauze beside the bed fell down, covering the screen inside the bed. Nothing could be seen clearly. After a while, a spring breeze spread from the bed...
Dongshan Village was in full swing, and time passed quickly, when the village was once again enveloped by a ray of sunshine.
The frost-covered trees shook off the ice one after another, and a wave of life spread again.
The chilly air gradually gained a bit of warmth from early spring, and the long cold winter was finally over.
After the unremitting efforts of many villagers, the brick house rebuilt for Su Qi'an was finally built before the imperial examination.
Su Qi'an stepped out of the thatched house, looked at the brick house in front of him, nodded with emotion, and bowed to Li Hu, Zhao Da and others again.
Li Hu, Zhao Da and many other villagers also followed suit and returned the gift. This is one of the few brick houses in Dongshan Village, and it is also a symbol of Su Qi'an's high school.
"It is Su's honor to see the house completed before departure. Thank you for all your support. Su will not say much else. This imperial examination will definitely not disappoint the expectations of the villagers. It will definitely lead to high school success. Here Thank you very much.”
