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

Chapter 6
Jiang Jin didn't know about these dross things.

She wandered slowly towards her yard, which was very clean. Although it was winter and the vegetation was withered, she could see the master's love for it.

From a distance, the hostess could be seen standing guard in front of the gatehouse, and the moonlight cast a gentle light on her face.

Jiang Jin pursed his lips into a smile, and quickly walked up to him.

"Auntie, why are you waiting outside?"

Jiang Lin shoved the hand stove into her hand, "Hurry up and enter the house."

Jiang Jin nodded and helped Jiang Linshi enter the door, she was dazzled by the heat coming towards her face.

Sweeping at the reopened book on the table, Jiang Jin just smiled.

"Uncle is back today."

While putting away his coat, Jiang Lin listened to Jiang Jin talking about Mujintang.

Hearing about Shu Xiu, she paused for a moment, and then said kindly, "Brother Jin is right, we can't bother your uncle anymore."

The two talked and laughed and went to rest on the couch. The small table on the couch was neatly placed with jujube flower cakes, and Jiang Jin squeezed them and stuffed them into his mouth.

He also said naughty things, which made Jiang Lin burst into laughter.

She gave Jiang Jin a scolding look, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "You're still laughing, boasting so much, but have you ever thought about what would happen if you failed the exam?"

Jiang Jin indifferently continued stuffing snacks, and murmured some incomprehensible words.

It's too exhausting to not use her brain for too long, she's so hungry!

"speak politely."

Jiang Lin handed over another cup of tea.

Jiang Jin took it and directly poured it in with his neck up, and called out good tea, and then said unhurriedly: "I can pass the exam."

"You!" Jiang Lin reprimanded dotingly, "You can only help you for a while with your cleverness, but you can't live forever."

She pulled out a few yellowed books from under the table and pushed them to her,

"Reading can only be done by looking at it from memory, and it is of no use at all."

Jiang Jin put down the half-bitten snack in her hand, wiped her hands, took the book upright, and opened it carefully. There were notes written in two different fonts inside, and she looked up in surprise.

A Niang seemed to know what she wanted to say.

"These books were used by your grandfather and father."

"If you want to take the imperial examination, being a mother will not stop you. We orphans and widows are not afraid of being imprisoned for the crime of deceiving the emperor. It's just you, don't let this down."

Jiang Lin's fingers tapped on the yellowed book again.

She smiled calmly but her eyes were red.

She also has the literati style passed down by her father and husband, and she hopes that Jiang Jin can pass it on.

In the past, Jiang Jin just had no thoughts, but now that she has one, she should do her best. She believes in her children.

Jiang Jin also knew the value of these books.

Auntie means, she understands

Grandpa, father, and elder brother are all high-spirited gentlemen.

She was so moved that she went around and hugged Jiang Linshi, "The child will definitely live up to expectations."

"This child..."

"Aniang, is Qingshan back?"

"I'm back." Jiang Lin responded and patted her on the back again, "What are you two doing behind my back again?"

"Nothing!" Jiang Jin argued with his eyes open, his chin resting on Jiang Lin's shoulder, "Auntie, rest early, there will be a child tomorrow, so don't worry too much, Auntie."

"Didn't your aunt let you go?"

Jiang Jin said "ah", "I didn't intend to go at all."

She got up and drove A Niang back to the room, "Don't worry, I'm here."

……

The clear moonlight came in and shone on the warm charcoal fire, dyeing the whole room with a different color.

The sound of burning charcoal fire is particularly healing, making Jiang Jin feel at ease.

Fingers were rubbing against the writing, and after a while, Aoyama sprang up with a cold air.

The raised hair tails were covered with ice beads, which made the fire shine brightly.

Jiang Jin glanced at him, then pushed a cup of hot tea, "Why don't you come out after drying your hair, what should you do if you catch a cold, drink a cup of tea to warm you up."

Qing Shan smiled brilliantly, "Master Xie for your concern, I am fine."

Jiang Jin pretended to "hum", "You are yin and yang and I am not in good health?"

She pushed the teacup away again, staring fiercely at Qingshan.

"Ah... no."

Qing Shan was glanced away by her staring eyes, and finally took the cup of hot tea.

"North of the city...is there anything found?"

Jiang Jinwen's tone was a little hesitant. Although those children in the north of the city looked fierce, they were all poor people. She couldn't believe that these people would do something that would kill someone.

Qing Shan also became dignified, he held the teacup tightly, begging for a little warmth.

"One of the two who took the lead at the time took the money, but he told the other party that you and Jiang Ling had never dealt with each other, and asked him to protect you."

Jiang Jin narrowed her eyes. When she saw Jiang Ling coming, she told the people following her to back off, but everyone ignored her and rushed to get on the bridge first, and then the bridge collapsed.

"He also explained that the other party is a lame man, not from the Jiang family."

"Oh?"

Jiang Jin was a little surprised.

Although she was notorious in Anfu County, she didn't offend anyone enough to kill her.

It seems that the water is a bit deep...

"Have you found the craftsman who repaired the bridge?"

"Yes, but he went to repair the embankment with Mr. Jiang, and he is not in the county. Mr. Jiang did not bring craftsmen with him when he returned to the county this time."

Qingshan thought of Jiang Ling's words, "The New Year is approaching, the bridge must be rebuilt soon, I will go and have a look then."

Jiang Jin nodded in agreement.

In fact, it is also feasible to let Qingshan go, but now she is surrounded by dangers and cannot do without people.

Especially tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jin exhaled heavily, "Qingshan, I need you to help me with something tomorrow, you can only succeed, not fail."

She was extremely serious, without the slightest look of playfulness on her face.

So fierce that Qingshan straightened his body a little more.

"Qingshan will definitely live up to expectations."

After explaining, Jiang Jin let Qing Shan leave.

She sat alone on the couch, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly pushed the window open.

The cold wind messed up her hair, and also messed up those private thoughts in the back house.

Aniang, my son will definitely protect you.
