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

Chapter 7 Temple Changes
No sleep for one night.

On the second day, Jiang Jin put out the charcoal fire and went out early.

The Jiang Mansion in the early morning was not as clean as before, the servants were all busy with their heads down, making the mansion seem extraordinarily lively.

Since Madam was going to Cheng'an Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, everyone had to prepare in advance, just in case, so they just glanced at Jiang Jin who left early.

Then I thought to myself,

Ah, Master Jin went to play cards again.

At this time, in the other corner of Jiangfu,
When his wife Jiang Weishi, who was dressing in the room, heard the news, the corners of her mouth rose sharply.

Yesterday I said I wanted to study, today I went to play cards.

Hmph, not half as good as her Brother Ling!

She glanced back at the man sleeping soundly on the bed, then smiled and looked at the row of jewelry on the table, twisted a magpie climbing plum hairpin and handed it to Tao Hong.

This hairpin was given to her by the old lady when she gave birth to Brother Ling.

Today is a happy day, you must wear it!

Tao Hong took it respectfully, pinching the end with her fingertips and inserting it carefully, for fear of pulling her hair and getting scolded again.

She retracted her hand and rubbed the scar on her wrist unintentionally.

As long as today's work is done, she will not have to do this job of serving.

Seeing that Jiang Weishi was satisfied, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly bent over and stretched out his hands to help him up.

Jiang Weishi is quite used to being served by Taohong.

This girl feels at ease with less use of words, if she really let people out, she would be reluctant to part with it.

Thinking of this, I felt a little uncomfortable, and the hand holding Tao Hong's arm couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

When he walked to the door, he saw Jiang Lin who had already stood still.

She stood there lightly and elegantly, like a translucent butterfly, as if she could float away with the wind.

She gave a dissatisfied "tsk", lowered the corners of her mouth in disgust, and straightened her mistress' demeanor.

It's not that she doesn't have the capacity to tolerate others, it's that Jiang Lin's family is too much.

Always pretending to be so weak to attract bees and butterflies, and not taking good care of his bastard son, even the reputation of Jiangfu has been ruined!

Let the master not even care about his own family, but care about other people's wives and children all day long.

It took time, effort, and gave away the entire Xikuanyuan!
The mother-in-law still compares Jiang Lin's family with her in everything.

When you think about it, you are full of anger.

Still want to go back to the Lord’s house to enjoy the blessings?
no way!

Jiang Weishi couldn't help staring at him.

Jiang Lin seemed to have noticed it, turned around and saluted, and called out respectfully and somewhat humbly, "Morning sister-in-law."

Jiang Weishi grudgingly complied, digging his fingertips into the flesh of Taohong's palm, holding back those stabbing words.

Immediately, she could no longer see this unlucky person.

"Let's go."

She didn't bother to give Jiang Linshi another look, she just ignored her, and got into the carriage with Taohong's help.

Jiang Lin's mood didn't fluctuate much, she lowered her eyes, pinched the handkerchief, and climbed into the carriage very carefully.

The space in the carriage is not that big, barely able to seat two people.

Therefore, Jiang Linshi was tense all the way, not daring to let go of his strength, for fear that because of the bumpy mountain road, he would bump into Jiang Weishi again and make her complain.

Speechless all the way.

The Cheng'an Temple they are going to go to today is built on the mountain in the north of the city.

It takes about an hour to start from Jiangfu, but if you live in the north of the city or go to the market, it only takes a quarter of an hour to go up the mountain.

Brother Jin must have reached the foot of the mountain by now.

Thinking of Brother Jin's confession this morning, Jiang Lin's palms began to sweat.

By the time Jiangfu's carriage arrived at Cheng'an Temple, it was already dawn.

There was an endless stream of pilgrims, but the group of them didn't pay much attention.

Jiang Linshi was the first to get out of the car. Her face was pale and miserable, her waist swayed a few times, and she moved her stiff back quietly.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Weishi straightened his face.

Who is this virtue in the temple to seduce?

"Sister-in-law looks good today."

Jiang Weishi regained his composure, raised his chin and said "um", "Master is home, I am naturally happy."

But her heart was slandering.

Since the widow came, the master has gone home less often. Today, if you praise her for looking good, are you saying that she can't keep the master?

It's rare for the master to stay overnight, are you mocking her?

Jiang Lin didn't know that Jiang Wei was wrong.

She just wanted to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere, so the corners of her mouth twitched into a smile, "Yuanze may be promoted if he does a good job this time, congratulations to my younger siblings first."

After saying this, Jiang Weishi became happier, and the anger in his heart also subsided a little.

Her husband is really good.

The two of them walked in one way or another, and when they entered, they began to pray for their sons.

After the three main halls are finished, the two will separate.

Jiang Lin turned around and went to the Manjusri Hall, while Jiang Wei walked to the backyard, and Tao Hong walked towards him.

"Ma'am, everything is ready."

Jiang Weishi nodded, she really wanted to laugh, if it wasn't a Buddhist holy place, she would definitely hold a banquet here.

Little bitch, try the gift specially prepared for you, and save your useless son and my son from competing for fame.

After Tao Hong saluted, she rushed towards the Manjusri Hall, and happened to run into Jiang Lin who had just come out.

"pink?"

Jiang Lin was a little stunned.

Tao Hong seemed to have been absent just now.

"Madam is donating incense in the backyard, please go there and rest for a while before returning."

Jiang Lin was a little puzzled, every time he came here in the past, Jiang Wei would donate in the lobby, why this time he kept a low profile and went to the backyard.

Is it for the promotion of men?

But before going out, Brother Jin reminded him to be careful.

He also told her not to worry about anything, everything has been arranged.

"I still want to go to a few more halls. You should go back to Madam and report back. I will wait at the door."

Tao Hong remained expressionless, as if she was the master, "It's freezing cold, your body is weak, Madam is also worried about you."

She stepped forward and clamped Jiang Lin's arm as if threatening, "Master Jin is also sick now, if you are sick, who will take care of him?"

Jiang Lin was in pain, but he couldn't say much.

This Tao Hong is Jiang Wei's confidant, and she is the maid in charge of the Jiang family, if she offends her, life will be even more difficult in the future.

"Then I'll go."

Jiang Lin suddenly felt that the strength in his arm was getting weaker.

"this way please."

Seeing Tao Hong's faster pace, she became more suspicious, and when she realized something was wrong, there was no one around.

"Where are you taking me?"

She trembled and was about to run, but Tao Hong grabbed her hair and dragged her back.

The disparity in strength made her unable to resist, and she wanted to open her mouth to shout but was directly covered by the cloth.

Gradually, she felt powerless all over, and her whole body was limp in Tao Hong's arms, her clear consciousness could only come out through her terrified eyes.

Immediately afterwards, it was dragged and thrown into a room.

There were two men in the room.

"Clap" sound.

The door was closed, and she closed her eyes in despair.
