Rebirth of the Imperial Examination: The Empress of the Impoverished Family

Chapter 3 Shu Xiu Lost
Day two.

Jiang Jin got up early in the morning, and the dizzy feeling in her head has not disappeared, but she still has to hold on.

No matter what kind of thing, it can't be solved in bed.

After a simple wash, she took out a moon-white round-neck gown and wore it. She sat alone in front of the bronze mirror and simply tied her hair up. Without looking at herself, she got up and opened the door.

As soon as he went out, he saw Qing Shan coming back with a bundle of wood on his back.

"Young master woke up very early."

Jiang Jin responded, and looked at the noises in the kitchen with his head.

Qing Shan put down the firewood and explained: "Madam is making breakfast."

Jiang Jin nodded and walked over slowly, but she didn't expect A Niang to get up so early.

Just as she was about to go in to help, she was chased out by A Niang, and Qing Shan, who was standing beside her, also expressed that she had no choice.

"Ma'am, don't let me interfere in these matters."

Qing Shan waited on Jiang Jin back to the room, and explained in detail what happened to Jiang Ling yesterday.

Jiang Jin nodded to show that he knew, and rubbed his fingers against the stove, thinking about it.

First for her, then for A Niang, why did my aunt go to all this trouble.

If you want to go back to the Lord's house, you don't have to bother.

In order not to let A Niang see her worries, she concealed her worries very well during the meal, but the weak look between her brows made people feel distressed.

Before departure, A Niang stuffed her with two taels of silver and asked her to go to the best medical center to see a doctor, "Brother Jin, don't worry about the money. When Mother's handkerchief is embroidered, we will have enough for school." .”

Holding the silver taels, Jiang Jin felt his palms burn. Aunt probably gave her all his wealth.

After arranging everything, Jiang Jin took Qing Shan to the street.

There are not many people in the morning,
The weather unexpectedly became very good, the sun shone warmly, and the heavy maternal love made her forehead covered with a thin layer of sweat.The two found a hidden alley,

Jiang Jin took the package from Qingshan, "Go to the north of the city and collect this month's bill by the way."

"Yes."

"If they ask about me, they will say that the young master is going to study, and tell them to be honest, otherwise I will clean up one by one when I come back."

The corner of Jiang Jin's mouth curled up into a stern smile, "Remember not to startle the snake."

Qing Shan nodded, and then his figure disappeared into the dark alley.

Jiang Jin quickly changed his clothes, buttoned his cap and went straight to the medicine hall, thankful that it was winter and he didn't need to change his clothes inside and out.

The doctor didn't ask much when he saw her attire, he took the pulse and prescribed the medicine in one go, and within a quarter of an hour, Jiang Jin came out with two sets of medicine.

She finds it ridiculous that the old disease that tormented her in the previous life is so easy to cure.

Since the problem is not here, there must be something wrong with the things used.

Tsk, these people have really long hands.

By the time she returned home with the medicine, it was already afternoon.

Pushing open the door, I saw A Niang standing in front of the desk, rubbing the wrist holding the pen with her left hand, and throwing a lot of paper on the ground.

She walked over on tiptoe, playfully and softly called, "Mother."

But I saw that A Niang's eyes were red.

"what happened?"

The arc of Jiang Jin's mouth also froze, "Who bullied you?"

Her expression became serious, and her tone sounded like she was about to roll up her sleeves and go to war.

"No." A Niang tugged at her, and quickly wiped away tears with her sleeve, "I took another job of copying books, and I don't know what happened today, but my hand just doesn't work."

Jiang Jin took off the brush in her hand and put it on the pen stand, and turned to help A Niang rub her wrist, but her eyes fell on the paper on the table.

A Niang's handwriting is as graceful as hers, and it is very pleasing to the eye on weekdays, but the writing here is a bit rushed, presumably something happened when she was not around.

In this way, she was even more determined to go to the Lord's house. If she stayed here, something would happen to Auntie sooner or later. She was just absent for a day!
"Didn't Aunt say that Shuxiu is enough, why are you copying books?"

Jiang Linshi obviously didn't want to talk about this, so he moved the topic elsewhere, "Are you seriously ill?"

"It's not heavy." Jiang Jin rubbed A Niang's arm comfortingly, "The doctor said that two doses of medicine will make it better, and the baby is in good health."

As she spoke, she gestured to her biceps, which made Jiang Linshi laugh out loud.

"You child is out of shape!"

Jiang Jin just lowered his head and smiled.

A Niang has always been careful not to lose things, if something goes wrong with Shu Xiu, the only possibility is that it was stolen.

These people really did everything they could to stop her from returning to the Lord's house.

She took out the silver taels left over from today and put it in A Niang's hands, "This is left over from today, A Niang uses it to buy some snacks!"

Jiang Jin raised his hand and pushed the book aside, "When we get back to the master's house, Auntie won't have to do embroidery and copy books anymore. My son will support you by studying, so you can enjoy the flowers and drink tea at home!"

She pursed her lips and looked at the tabletop again, "This furniture is replaced with your favorite pineapple wood!"

Jiang Linshi smiled and tapped her nose with his index finger, "You little clever ghost."

She rubbed the corners of her eyes, "Did you guess that Shu Xiu lost Te to comfort me?"

Jiang Jin stepped forward coquettishly, "The child is a roundworm in Aniang's stomach. The child knows what Aniang thinks."

Jiang Lin gave her an angry look, "Then have you guessed that my mother is going to beat you?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand, "It's not that I want you to go to the most expensive one, you're better off! There are so many left!"

The mother and daughter quarreled for a while, and then there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Lin stood up suspiciously, but Jiang Jin shook her head to tell her not to move.

Since these people plot against her, she will also take the bridge.

After a while, there was the sound of Taohong outside.

"Master Jin, Madam invites you to come over."

Jiang Jin smiled sarcastically,
The weasel greets the chicken for the New Year.

"Is there something urgent? My aunt will be fine if I catch the cold."

"It doesn't matter. The madam said she wanted to see you, but the old madam is also worried about you. It's just that her legs and feet are inconvenient, so the madam troubled the young master to go there in person."

"It turned out to be the third grandma."

Jiang Jin sighed, then gave Jiang Linshi a reassuring look, and whispered in her ear, "Qingshan will come back later, don't worry."

Then he got up and took the cloak and walked out.

Pushing open the door, looking at the pink that was blown into pink, she felt a little better.

After all, in the past, she was the one who stood in her aunt's outer hall and was blown like this by the wind.

"Let's go."

Tao Hong answered "Yes", bowed and asked Jiang Jin to leave, "The old lady is in the Hibiscus Hall."

"I see, Sister Taohong."
