Wear It with Space - Chapter 21
Shen Ling tried to open his eyes wide and looked at himself in the mirror.
It was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man with a long face, pale skin, and a very gentle and delicate birth.
Shen Ling hadn’t completely digested the good news of upgrading the space to level two, but the reality of being worn by a woman was too fragile and tender. When she finished receiving the memory of the man named Zheng Feng, the voice of the system rang in her mind.
System 25: “Whether to accept the current task, the content of the task is to obtain fame, and the task time is 20 years.”
Shen Ling asked cautiously: “What if you don’t accept it?”
System 25: “Deduct 500 points directly.”
Shen Ling asked again: “What if the mission fails?”
System 25: “If the mission fails, no points will be deducted or rewarded.”
Shen Ling made a choice: “Then I should accept this task!”
System 25: “Remind the host that within 20 years, you can earn 100 points when you become a scholar, 200 points when you become a Juren, and 500 points when you become a Jinshi.”
Shen Ling couldn’t help holding his forehead in front of the mirror. She felt very satisfied to be a talent.
“Brother, grandma let you pass.” Shen Ling was thinking about in the mirror, and suddenly heard the voice of the little maid Xiaoer outside.
Shen Ling came out of the wing where he was, and saw a square yard. Although the yard is not very large, it is cleaned very cleanly. Two prickly ash trees are planted in the middle, which shades the three blue-tiled houses to the north. It has a quiet and quaint style unique to ancient dwellings.
When Shen Ling entered the hall, Huang was sitting on the big kang next to the window doing needlework. When she heard her son come in, she said without looking up, “It’s been three days since Lan Zhu has left, and it’s time for you to bring people back.” “
Hearing this, Shen Ling smiled reluctantly. Lan Zhu is Zheng Feng’s newly married daughter-in-law. The two have been married for less than two months, and they quarreled three times. For the last time, Lan Zhu directly returned to her family with the burden.
Shen Ling couldn’t help taking a breath when he walked out of the hall. Before he really got used to the identity of a man, he was thrown out to pick up the **** wife back to her natal family. Will the story go too fast?
However, Shen Ling went out of the house after changing his clothes and walked towards his father-in-law’s house. When passing through the busy streets, Shen Ling saw someone selling sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and remembered that Lan Zhu loved this, so he took out his money and bought two yuan.
In addition, she bought two roast chickens and two roast geese at the deli, and flicked a pot of wine in the liquor store, and Fang walked towards Lan Zhu’s house.
Lan Zhu’s family lives in the deepest part of the alley, a small courtyard. There are a few green bamboos planted in front of the door, which is a bit elegant. Shen Ling stood in front of the door and took a few deep breaths, trying to adjust his state before knocking on the two old wooden doors.
After a while, a young woman wearing a woman’s hair bun came out and opened the door. The woman was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful face and a slender figure. It was Zheng Feng’s daughter-in-law Zhou Lanzhu.
When Zhou Lanzhu saw who was knocking on the door, she bit her lower lip slightly. She was about to shut him out, but thinking about her worried parents, she finally opened the two doors. But there was still something in my heart, so I went back to the house without saying anything.
Shen Ling had to carry things by herself and walked into the Zhou’s yard.
“Lan’er, who’s here?” Zhou’s mother’s voice came from the room.
Shen Ling raised her voice and said, “Mother-in-law, it’s me.”
Soon, a woman in her forties came out of the house, and smiled as she walked: “My uncle is here, please come in.” Lan Zhu was called again, “Lan Er, come and bring something.”
Shen Ling said hurriedly: “No, no, I can handle it all by myself.” He piled things on the table of the Eight Immortals in the room.
Lan Zhu lowered her head and sat on the kang with the soles of her shoes, as if she hadn’t heard Zhou Mu’s words. Mother Zhou smiled and said, “Lan’er has been spoiled by me since he was a child. Don’t take it to heart, Grandpa.”
Shen Ling said, “I don’t blame Lan Zhu for being angry. I did something wrong.”
The couple quarreled for the first time for food, and it was just a few days later. The second bickering was also a trivial matter. It was only the third time to quarrel, but it was because Zheng Feng did not go to the clan school every day. Lan Zhu said a few more words, and Zheng Feng scolded her when he got angry. For this, Lan Zhu returned to her family’s home.
Now Lan Zhu heard that Zheng Feng seemed to repent, and couldn’t help but look up at him.
Shen Ling picked up the two sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from the table and walked to her with a smile, “It takes a long time to make needlework and it takes a lot of attention. Let’s take a break and eat a cake!”
Lan Zhu had smelled the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and now he saw him doing a little bit in front of Zhou’s mother, his face flushed slightly, and he gave him a sip, “Who wants to eat cake?”
Shen Ling didn’t get angry either, smiled and let Zhou Mu again. Mother Zhou waved her hand hurriedly, “I won’t eat that. I won’t be able to change it. Let Lan’er eat it! You sit in the house, and I will come as soon as I go.”
After Zhou’s mother left, only him were left in the house. Shen Ling smiled and walked to Lan Zhu, looked at the sole of her hand and said, “Who is this shoe for?”
Lan Zhu had already forgiven him because of what he said just now, but he didn’t want to speak because of his face. Now that I saw him coming over to strike up a conversation, I didn’t want to make the relationship between the two people too bad, so he said nonchalantly, “Give it to my father.”
Shen Ling sat on the kang next to her and smiled cheeky: “You have been married these days, and you haven’t seen what you have done to me.” Maybe it is the instinct of this body, Shen Ling found that he wanted to say these things. It is not difficult. As for sitting closer, that’s not even a problem, as long as you think of yourself as Lan Zhu’s sister.
Lan Zhu moved a little uncomfortably, and said lightly: “Your mother-in-law has made one piece of clothes, shoes and socks for the four seasons, where can I still be used?”
Shen Ling obeyed instinct and blurted out: “My mother is my mother, and you are you. Can this be the same?”
Lan Zhu glanced at him and couldn’t help but said, “I haven’t seen you for a few days, why are you so glib.”
Shen Ling gave a light cough, gently placed his hand on Lan Zhu’s left hand, and said softly: “I miss you!”
Lan Zhu snapped off his right hand and said with a slight red face: “Don’t move your hands or feet.”
Shen Ling sat down honestly and said, “You have lived in your parents’ house for a few days, come home with me!”
Lan Zhu didn’t speak, Shen Ling looked at her seriously, “Why, are you still angry?”
Lan Zhu sighed softly, “Not for this.”
Shen Ling asked, “Why don’t you want to go back?” Although Huang is used to his son, he is not that kind of evil mother-in-law. There is no big problem between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Lan Zhu is not doing badly in the Zheng family. He couldn’t help but looked at Lan Zhu suspiciously.
Lan Zhu sighed, “It’s my dad. In the past two years, fewer and fewer students have been worshiping under my dad. The bundle repairs I took home were not enough for daily chewing. My mother took some needlework from other people’s homes to do it. , I can still help a little bit when I’m here. When I leave, I don’t know how many more days my mother will have to do!”
Father Zhou has not entered school since he was admitted as a child student at the age of 30. Later, seeing that Zhongxiu was hopeless, he went home to live in a museum. It is probably because he is pedantic and inflexible, and he is getting older, so fewer and fewer students enter his school.
Shen Ling thought for a while and took a gesture in his arms. In fact, he took out ten taels of silver from the space, and then took it out and placed it in front of Lan Zhu.
“I have some money here, you can give it to your mother-in-law!”
Lan Zhu’s eyes widened: “Where did you get your silver?”
After getting married, Zheng Feng didn’t want to care about the trivial matters, and directly handed over the silver he had accumulated to Lan Zhu for safekeeping. Now it is still well locked in the camphor wood box in the wing.
Shen Ling touched his nose: “You didn’t think I didn’t go to school a few days ago. I had a business. I have not been busy for more than half a month, and finally made some money.”
Lan Zhu seemed to believe it, and wanted to ask what was going on, but remembered that when the two quarreled last time, Zheng Feng thought she was too much in charge and couldn’t help swallowing what was in his heart.
Seeing her expression, Shen Ling guessed her mind exactly, wishing she would not ask the whole story. After all, Zheng Feng was indeed out of business for more than half a month, and it was hard to explain it.
“Okay, the silver matter has been settled, come back with me when you have dinner at noon!” Shen Ling said again.
Lan Zhu hummed, and put away the silver.
After a while, Zhou’s mother came back and bought some vegetables, fruits and vegetables, ready to make a good lunch. Lan Zhu was quickly called by Zhou’s mother to help in the kitchen. Shen Ling wanted to follow, but thinking about his current identity, the right foot that stepped out couldn’t help but retracted.
After lunch was done, Father Zhou came back.
At the dinner table, Father Zhou mentioned the reason for the young couple’s quarrel, that is, Zheng Feng’s refusal to go to clan school, and couldn’t help but sternly reprimand Shen Ling.
Shen Ling was speechless, the feeling he had experienced for generations was not good at all, he sat there with his head down and did not speak for a long time.
In the end, Zhou’s mother felt sorry for her son-in-law and turned the topic off, Lan Zhu followed, finally regaining the harmonious atmosphere before.
After coming out of Zhou’s family, Shen Ling couldn’t help but said to Lan Zhu: “This is the first time I have been scolded so cruelly when I grow up.”
Lan Zhu said: “My father has this temper. You don’t need to take it to heart what he said.”
Shen Ling said: “Of course I won’t take it to heart. What’s more, what his old man said is right. I should study hard. Not to mention earning your life back, I should at least let you worry about food and clothing.”
Lan Zhu thought he was just talking about it. After all, the impression Zheng Feng gave her in the past two months was that she didn’t like to read books, and she hadn’t even touched books at home.
