Chapter 53
Ever since he received the compliment from Magistrate Jiang, Jiang Mingshun was not only filled with a deep feeling of happiness, but also giggled "hehe" from time to time.

Isn't this wilderness very scary?
"What do you know, you little kid?" Jiang Mingshun looked at Jiang Jinyu accusingly: "That's the county magistrate!"

"A serious two-ranked scholar!"

"He not only complimented me on my good job, but also patted me on the shoulder!"

Jiang Mingshun still couldn't understand: "So what?"

"Aren't there a lot of people with two rankings of Jinshi?"

Not the top pick.

Of course, Jiang Jinyu did not dare to say this.

Otherwise, her father would have gone crazy for her.

"So what?" In fact, Jiang Mingshun had already begun to feel that his daughter was stupid.

However, thinking that she was still young and a girl, she probably didn't understand this, so I briefly talked to her about the scientific examination system of this dynasty.

Jiang Jinyu didn't have any special thoughts after hearing this.

She has been a child with excellent grades since she was a child. Her talent and hard work make her never afraid of exams.

Although the imperial examination was difficult, in her eyes it was just another form of examination.

Therefore, Jiang Jinyu not only was not frightened, but also comforted Jiang Mingshun: "It's okay. Let me go to school then and we will find a good teacher for him."

"You are the scholar's father!"

Jiang Mingshun: "..."

Brother Jiang, who was still nursing: "..."

Jiang Jinyu didn't care what they thought. After Jiang Mingshun reminded her, she was already thinking about private school.

If she wants to be a scholar, she must not let her younger brother go to a village school. I wonder what the quality of teaching in the county is like?
Should she persuade her father to buy a house near the county school?Housing in a school district is still necessary.

Therefore, Jiang Jinyu decided that he had to make money first...

“Is that Brother Mingshun’s mule?”

"I look like it."

"I saw the driver, it was Uncle Mingshun!"

Before entering the village, Jiang Mingshun saw a few people dancing and waving to him under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

After hearing clearly that they were calling him, Jiang Mingshun also became excited. He accelerated his driving speed and ran straight towards the entrance of the village.

Jiang Jinyu sat in front of the carriage and looked at the familiar scenes around her with sighs. Although she had only been away for one night, she still felt like she was a world away.

The mule cart stopped, and four or five men gathered around, asking Jiang Mingshun questions.

"Mingshun, are you okay?" This was because he was concerned about whether Jiang Mingshun was injured.

"Brother Mingshun, why did you come back at this time?" He was curious about what happened last night.

"Uncle Mingshun, was it fun last night?" This person is young and has never been to the city to see the Lantern Festival.

Jiang Mingshun escaped death several times last night, and now everyone is happy to see him.

No matter who asked, he would answer with a smile.

Looking at their looks, she knew that what happened last night must have been a big deal. Jiang Jinyu belatedly remembered that her mother didn't know it yet!

She pulled Jiang Mingshun, who was still chatting with others, and said, "Dad, let's go back quickly. Mom is going to be worried."

Jiang Mingshun was reminded like this, and he also remembered that his wife was still at home alone with her children. If they didn't come back that night, Ms. Bai might be very anxious.

"Then I will go home first," Jiang Mingshun said to the others, "I will continue talking to you another day when I have free time."

After that, he was about to drive home.

Someone next to him quickly grabbed him: "Hey, hey, don't leave yet."

"My sister-in-law is at the patriarch's house with her child."

"Brother Mingshun, you'd better go directly to the patriarch's house."

Jiang Mingshun nodded and led the mule towards the patriarch's house.The few people who were originally guarding the entrance of the village also followed suit. They were originally called by the clan leader to wait for Jiang Mingshun.

Several of them are young people from the clan, and they are waiting for the clan leader's order to go to the city to find someone.

The person he was looking for now had returned safely, so they naturally wanted to go back with him.

The patriarch's family is not at peace right now.

Bai and Jiang Minghui waited at home together for half the night last night until the sky dimmed.

Only then did the two people, who had not waited for anyone to come back, really panic.

In addition to the first wave of people who came back, many people who left the village came back one after another.

Bai, who still had a glimmer of hope, went to ask everyone who had escaped last night, but no one had seen Jiang Mingshun and his daughter in the city or on the way back.

Until the last person who came back told her that everyone who could run out of the city had already run out, and when they came out, there was no one on the street.

"Unless," the man said hesitantly, "unless he fell into the water and hasn't been fished out yet."

"Or he was stepped on and fainted while escaping."

When Bai heard this, she almost fainted.

Jiang Minghui, who came with her, quickly supported her.

Compared with Bai's Liushen Wuhu, Jiang Minghui's situation is slightly better, but he is not a very independent person. After being stunned for a while, there was only one thought left in his mind: "Sister-in-law, let's go find the clan leader."

Bai, who was still paralyzed, seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. She stuffed the child into Jiang Minghui's arms and stumbled towards the patriarch's house.

The clan leader had already gotten up. He naturally knew that such a big event happened in the city, but he didn't expect that there was something about his own clan.

"What are you talking about?" The patriarch stood up abruptly and turned over the teacup on the Kang table. He stared at Bai in disbelief: "Mingshun hasn't come back yet?"

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Bai leaned on the arms of the patriarch's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, and choked with sobs: "Yes, I have been waiting all night."

"Mingshun drove the mule cart out. Logically, it should be faster."

"But I don't know why I haven't come back yet."

The clan leader walked around twice anxiously with his hands behind his back, and then called his son: "Go and find some young and strong clansmen."

Seeing his son running out the door, he reassured Mrs. Bai: "Daughter-in-law Mingshun, don't worry, I will arrange for someone to go to the city to find out the news."

Not long after, more than a dozen tribesmen rushed over.

Unfortunately, the process of searching for the person was not smooth. Many families' wives were unwilling to let their family's mainstay take risks.

Even though I've heard people say that everything is fine in the city now, I still feel like it's just in case.

Who knows what happened next?Haven't you seen Jiang Mingshun come back yet?

Yang and Liu, who rushed over after hearing the news, grabbed Jiang Minghui tightly, with a "if you dare to run out, I will fight you" momentum.

"Wait a minute."

"If you still haven't come back by daybreak, we'll go to the county government to report to the official."

"Isn't it possible that you are already on the way?"

Everyone tried to persuade the patriarch.

The patriarch could only wave his hands impatiently: "In that case, if you are willing, just go to the entrance of the village and wait."

After saying that, he turned to talk to Bai: "Don't worry, I will take people to the city to look for him if you wait a moment. Anyway..."

He wanted to see people alive, and wanted to see his corpse when he was dead. The words came to his lips but were suppressed by the clan leader.

Although Bai was anxious, she could only nod in agreement, and secretly thought to herself, if no one is willing to go after a while, she will go by herself.

Jiang Yongsheng was also anxious. His nephew's life and death were unknown. How could he not be anxious?

But he couldn't tell Jiang Minghui to go into the city alone to find someone.

First, because other people in the family will definitely disagree, how can he alone defeat the whole family?

Secondly, he is really worried that the city is still in chaos, and he is afraid that his son will lose his life if he makes a decision.
