Chapter 350 Brother Becomes Sister
Chapter 350 Brother Becomes Sister
After getting off the carriage, Lin Shuyue looked at Qinghe and Qingzhi who were sitting on the shaft and warned them, "Keep an eye on Gousheng. If he wakes up, don't let him out of the carriage or lift the curtain to look outside."
"Okay, son."
Qinghe and Qingzhi nodded repeatedly, their faces showing excitement that was hard to hide.
Then, Lin Shuyue waved her hand, and the entire carriage disappeared from the spot, and Qinghe and Qingzhi were nowhere to be seen.
In the space, Qinghe and Qingzhi sat on the shaft of the cart with their bodies stiff and their eyes wide open, looking around in surprise.
The refreshing air, the towering mountains in the distance, the fruit-laden orchards, the medicinal herbs shrouded in mist in the fields, the fragrant lotus flowers in the small lotus pond, and the fruit tree in front of them with magical fruits, all shocked them.
Is this the young lady’s wonderland?
Lin Shuyue naturally didn't know that her action made her two little maids more convinced that their master was a fairy who had descended to the earth.
At this time, she was using her lightness skills to fly above the forest. After flying over one mountain after another, she saw the official road not far away and then flew towards it.
At this time, there was no one on the official road. After she landed lightly on the ground, she waved her hand and released the carriage, Qinghe and Qingzhi from the space.
"Son!"
As soon as Qinghe and Qingzhi saw Lin Shuyue, they immediately jumped off the carriage and ran to her side, looking at her with sparkling eyes, so excited that they didn't know what to say.
Lin Shuyue patted their heads in amusement and said, "Okay, don't get excited. I'll let you in to play again when there's a chance."
Qing He and Qing Zhi nodded obediently, and then they looked around, "Master, are we on the official road to Bingzhou now?"
Lin Shuyue nodded. After putting the carriage into the space in the morning, she rushed back for a while, then turned into the woods and flew towards Bingzhou for most of the day before she found the official road leading to Bingzhou.
To be on the safe side, Lin Shuyue changed back into women's clothes after returning to the carriage. So when Gousheng woke up in a daze and saw that his brother had turned into a beautiful sister, he was so shocked that he rubbed his eyes with his hands.
"Pfft..."
Lin Shuyue couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Why, Gousheng can't recognize his brother?"
"elder brother..."
Gousheng opened his mouth in amazement, watching the beautiful sister's mouth opening and closing, but a familiar male voice came out.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Lin Shuyue was afraid of making him cry, so she changed her voice and returned to her original clear and crisp voice of a young girl, explaining: "I am the elder sister, but when I go out, it is more convenient for me to disguise myself as a man."
After that, she apologized to him sincerely: "I'm sorry, sister didn't mean to lie to you, please don't blame me, okay?"
Gousheng shook his little head and said sweetly, "Sister, I don't blame you. Sister is my savior. No matter what you become, I will always love you."
"So nice."
Lin Shuyue couldn't help but pinch his face. It turned out that children were not as scary as she had imagined.
The carriage stopped and started along the way, and after a few days' journey, it successfully entered the territory of Bingzhou.
At this time, thousands of miles away in Wuzhou's Sishui County, at the gate of the Lin Mansion in Jing'an Lane, firecrackers were blasting and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
As soon as the official who brought the good news left, the servants of the Lin Mansion began to distribute wedding money, and the neighbors came forward to congratulate Lin An and Lin Shuyan.
"Congratulations! Your Excellency has won the first place in the imperial examination at such a young age. This is such a great occasion. Master Lin must prepare a banquet for us to share in the joy."
"Young Master Lin not only won the top three places in the imperial examinations, but he is also the youngest scholar in Sishui County. With his talent, he might even become the youngest top scholar in the Great Zhou Dynasty in two years."
"..."
Lin An had just recovered from his surprise. When he heard their words, he immediately replied with a smile: "No, no..."
"Thank you for your kind words, thank you very much..."
Lin Shaoyan was young after all, and his neck turned red from their praise. He had no choice but to bow and find an excuse to escape.
In the flower hall, Li listened to the little girl's excited description of the excitement outside the door, and a rare smile appeared on her fair face. Seeing her newly-minted scholar come in, she said with a mischievous look, "Hey, why is our scholar back so soon?"
"Mother~"
Lin Shuyan's face turned red, and he said angrily, "Mom, please stop teasing your son."
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Li covered her mouth and laughed, then asked him, "Your father will definitely prepare a banquet for you this time. What do you think?"
When it comes to business, Lin Shuyan slowly calmed down, "Mom, I don't want a big celebration. I can just set up a few tables in my restaurant and invite my son's teachers, classmates, friends, and Brother Wu's family."
Mrs. Li shook her head when she heard this: "A few tables won't be enough. The heads of the Ma, Wang, and Zhao families will surely come to offer their congratulations."
"Things are different now. You are now the youngest scholar in Sishui County and have won three consecutive top honors. In the future, more and more people will want to make friends with our family.
We can't just live behind closed doors like we used to. We must maintain all the necessary etiquette and interactions."
Hearing what Li said, Lin Shuyan said apologetically, "I was inconsiderate. I will follow the arrangements of my father and mother."
"You're still young, so you can slowly learn these ways of the world. But remember, no matter how complimented or flattered you are, you must remain sober and don't let those false feelings disrupt your original intention."
Mrs. Li looked at her son's slightly childish face with pride in her eyes. However, as a mother, she was more worried that her young son would lose his original intention because of the disturbances in the outside world.
"Mother's words, I will keep them in mind."
Lin Shuyan calmed down completely. The slight sense of elation he had felt when he was complimented just now disappeared instantly after hearing what Li said.
Li nodded with satisfaction. "That's right. You were able to get the first place in the exam because of your own hard work, but you still have a long way to go. You must not slack off."
"Son, I understand. I will continue to work hard and live up to my parents' expectations." Lin Shuyan nodded firmly.
At this time, Lin An walked into the flower hall, his face filled with joy. "Ayan, well done, you have brought honor to our Lin family. No matter what you say this time, Dad will give you a good banquet to celebrate."
Lin Shuyan and Li smiled at each other, then said to Lin An, "Dad, I will listen to your and Mom's arrangements."
"Good good!"
Lin An clapped his hands and laughed, and suddenly thought of his eldest son and precious daughter who were away.
He shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that Ayuan and Ayue are not here. I don't know how Ayue is doing out there, or when she will be back."
