Even if building a toilet is a bit complicated, with the materials and so many people, it will be completed before dinner.

After the acceptance test, Xu Huaiqian took out the copper coins and paid them one by one.

“Thank you, second brother!”

Except for the few who followed Chen Liejiu to kidnap Xu Huaiqian at the beginning, all the subordinates of Chen Liejiu saw Xu Huaiqian for the first time today. They took the money and winked at each other before calling him second brother according to Chen Liejiu’s instructions.

Xu Huaiqian replied in unison without any expression: “You’re welcome.”

“Don’t tease him. Take the money and leave.” These men were used to being mischievous with him. Chen Liejiu was afraid that Xu Huaiqian would not be used to it, so he hurriedly shouted them away.

After being driven away by Chen Liejiu, the men dispersed with laughter.

“By the way, there are your books and clothes in the boxes I brought back. Check to see if there are any missing–“

After sending the people away, Chen Liejiu suddenly remembered that he had something to tell Xu Huaiqian.

Just as he opened his mouth, before he finished speaking, Xu Huaiqian, who had paid the bill, looked at him with an empty purse in his hand.

 “Uh…”

Instantly, he recalled his heroic act of using the money from the bank to make Xu Huaiqian his husband. Knowing that the truth had been revealed, he had to bite the bullet and explain to Xu Huaiqian: “…Except for the money from the bank, I did give you all my belongings.”

As he spoke, his voice became softer: “…It’s not considered a lie.”

Chen Liejiu was very sure that he said at the time that he would give him all his belongings, but he didn’t say how much, so it shouldn’t be considered a lie?

Of course, he would admit that Xu Huaiqian was angry with him for this, and he did it in an unkind way.

Xu Huaiqian, who originally wanted to listen to his explanation, heard his sophistry and thought about it along his line of thought. From a beautiful rich woman with one million to a beautiful poor woman with only ten thousand yuan, the money became less, but the wife was still there so it really wasn’t a lie.

 But…

Xu Huaiqian lowered his eyes and looked at Chen Liejiu: “Don’t you have any hidden money?”

He didn’t believe that a bully who was bold enough to cheat on marriage and destroy the family would not dare to hide private money.

“——Ah?”

Chen Liejiu was waiting for Xu Huaiqian to get angry, but instead of waiting for his anger, he waited for a question from him that was neither painful nor itchy, neither light nor heavy. He was stunned for a moment, and took out a small ingot of silver from his arms without thinking: “This is what I got back from Xu Dalang. This is a personal loan from me to him. I will give it to you.”

Xu Huaiqian took the silver ingot from his hand, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

He knew it.

 Chen Liejiu, who had given the money to Xu Huaiqian, was touched by his eyes and reacted belatedly. He hurriedly explained: “I didn’t hide any private money. I just didn’t have time to tell you.”

“Really–” He was afraid that Xu Huaiqian didn’t believe it, so he held Xu Huaiqian’s hand and wandered around on his body for a while, “If you don’t believe then search me.”

The body structure of gers is the same as that of a man, with a flat front. Especially since he is wearing clothes, he can’t feel anything, but Xu Huaiqian’s hand on him still burned unconsciously.

He pulled back the hand that Chen Liejiu had been pulling and touching, and coughed lightly: “Okay, okay, I believe you.”

“I said I would give you all my belongings, and I will definitely give it to you.” Chen Liejiu met Xu Huaiqian’s eyes, “I, Chen Liejiu, keep my word.”

Although he blurred the money in the matter of spending money to let Xu Huaiqian be his husband, every word he said to Xu Huaiqian was true.

 “Don’t worry, I will give you the money I earn in the future,” Chen Liejiu assured Xu Huaiqian, “I will work hard to make money and fill the money bag I owe you.”

Xu Huaiqian saw that he was confident. Even though he still had doubts about him hiding his money, he still chose to believe him again: “Okay.”

Xu Huaiqian’s attitude of waiting for his explanation after learning that he was deceived made Chen Liejiu a little happy.

He had seen too many men who could not tolerate deception. Even if it was a very small misunderstanding, they would be angry and beat and scold their wives and husbands at will, just to vent their anger.

Chen Liejiu admitted that he chose Xu Huaiqian as his husband from the beginning. In addition to the fact that he was the most suitable and could solve the trouble of grabbing the wrong person, he also took a fancy to his sickly body.

Being sick meant that he could only depend on him, but could not control him. This was the best candidate for Chen Liejiu, who was used to freedom.

 But after two days of contact with Xu Huaiqian, he found that he was a little too good. Not only did he not have the bad habits that a sick person should have, but he was also trying to tolerate him and his family.

It felt like he had found a treasure.

“I won’t fool you,” the misunderstanding was resolved. Chen Liejiu was in a good mood, and took Xu Huaiqian to the main hall. He pointed to several boxes in the main hall and talked about his plan, “These are all what I brought from your house. I have thought about it. In the future, I will make money outside, and you will stay at home like before to study and write.”

Xu Huaiqian opened the box and saw that it was filled with some of the original owner’s clothes and books.

After listening to what Chen Liejiu said, he turned around and looked at him: “You want to support me to study?”

“Yes.” Chen Liejiu nodded.

He thought about it. Xu Huaiqian was in poor health and could not help him collect debts or do farm work, but he couldn’t lock him up at home and not let him do anything.

 It would be better to let him study and write at home like before. He didn’t ask him to pass the exam to become a scholar, but only asked him to be comfortable physically and mentally, so that he can have confidence when he goes out.

Xu Huaiqian saw Chen Liejiu agreed so readily. He opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word.

Even without the memory of his original body, Xu Huaiqian knew how difficult it was to support a scholar in ancient times. Not to mention other things, just the consumption of pens, ink, paper and inkstone was not something that an ordinary farmer’s family could afford.

Now the family’s silver, minus the 100 wen just spent on wages, plus the 10 taels of silver Chen Liejiu gave him, there are still 16 taels and 750 wen in total.

The family only has less than 17 taels of silver in total. He really doesn’t know where Chen Liejiu got the confidence to say that he would support him to study.

 Chen Liejiu didn’t notice Xu Huaiqian’s abnormality. Not only did he not look worried about money, he urged him: “Check and see if you still need anything. If you need anything, just tell me.”

This tone.

As if he had a fortune.

Xu Huaiqian squatted down helplessly and rummaged through the rattan box full of books.

He remembered that the original owner had the title of Tongsheng, but he had to read so many books to pass the Tongsheng exam. It is conceivable that this imperial examination is not so easy to pass.

Besides, the original owner was just a country scholar, and the teacher in the school was an old Tongsheng who had never passed the Xiucai exam his whole life. It was the best that he could teach a Tongsheng. If he wanted to teach a Xiucai, he had to be lucky.

Xu Huaiqian thought he didn’t have this luck. He had been doing questions for nearly two years to take the civil service exam in modern times, but he didn’t pass the interview just because he got high scores. He got the top position because he performed well in the interview.

In this completely fictional ancient time, the Four Books and Five Classics were different from what he knew, let alone asking him to take the imperial examination.

It didn’t matter if he didn’t pass the exam, he was just afraid that when he answered the questions, he would confuse the history in his memory with the history of this era.

 But it must be said that Chen Liejiu’s considerations also made sense. He was in poor health and could not do anything. In this era of strict hierarchy of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, if he did not study, would he become a low-level businessman?

And without a background, it seemed that it would be very risky to be a businessman.

Xu Huaiqian was flipping through the books in the rattan box with a messy mind. Suddenly, a palm-sized cold object fell from the interlayer of the two books he picked up.

Xu Huaiqian picked it up and took a look.

It was a bronze mirror.

The next moment, he saw his appearance in the bronze mirror. He was so shocked that his eyes widened. He covered his mouth, and coughed violently.

Who is the person in the mirror?

It is said that the bronze mirrors in ancient times could not reflect people clearly. Xu Huaiqian really wanted to complain. How could this mirror not reflect people clearly? It clearly reflected people.

His pale, thin and haggard face without a trace of blood was completely revealed.

 “Cough cough cough cough cough——”

Xu Huaiqian coughed so hard that tears came down. Although he was not so handsome before, he was the most handsome man in the university for four consecutive years.

When he rejected the invitations of many entertainment companies and chose to take the civil service exam to contribute to the country, many people beat their chests and stamped their feet, feeling sorry for him.

After crossing over to this body, he originally thought that since the name was the same, the appearance should be similar. Judging from the fact that Chen Liejiu did not hesitate to use the bank money to attack him and take him home as his husband, even if he was sick and thin, he should not be too ugly.

After all, he was a sickly person who could not lift his hands or shoulders. It would cost money to take him home to support him. If he was not good-looking, Chen Liejiu would not be interested in him.

Who would have thought that not only did he lose his good health, but also his good looks.

 “What’s wrong?” Xu Huaiqian suddenly coughed, scaring Chen Liejiu. He squatted down and smoothed his back, and asked hurriedly.

“… So ugly.” Xu Huaiqian held the mirror in his hand, and coughed so hard that it was difficult for him to speak.

Chen Liejiu only heard his mumbling and knew that he was stimulated by his appearance. He hurriedly lifted his face: “Who said that!”

“You are very good-looking,” Chen Liejiu looked at his face carefully, “You have long eyelashes, beautiful eyes, and good facial features. It’s just that you are a little haggard because of illness. You will be fine after taking care of it.”

“Really?” Xu Huaiqian, who coughed up a few strands of blood, felt much more comfortable after hearing Chen Liejiu’s words, and asked again in disbelief.

“Really.” Chen Liejiu wiped the bright red blood on his lips with the hand holding his chin, and the trembling in his heart disappeared.

When he saw Xu Huaiqian’s sick face, tears in his eyes, and bloodshot lips, he actually thought he was so beautiful. He was afraid he was sick.

Xu Huaiqian saw that Chen Liejiu’s tone was not fake, so he picked up the bronze mirror again and observed it carefully.

Except for his skin that was very haggard due to illness, it seemed that he was not as bad as he thought. He could vaguely see some shadows of his modern appearance between his eyebrows and eyes.

Maybe, as Chen Liejiu said, he could recover if he took good care of himself.

After solving the problem of appearance anxiety, Xu Huaiqian felt relieved.

He was relieved, but Chen Liejiu was not. After settling him down, he walked out quickly.

Chen Xiaomei, who was holding a bamboo pole and driving a group of chickens, ducks and geese back, asked him: “Brother, where are you going again?”

“To consult a doctor!”

The author has something to say:

Qianqian: I was almost ugly I could die [covering my face].
