Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Xiaoxiao looked at the tall horse gnawing at the fence of her yard outside the yard, and her mind unconsciously thought of the county captain sitting on the tall horse yesterday.

She asked: "Uncle Zhou, is that county captain really Brother Jiang's second brother?"

She had always been skeptical about this matter. After all, not only was there no mention in the original book that Jiang Yu had a second brother, Shen Que was not even mentioned in the book...

Shopkeeper Zhou paused after hearing this, then shook his head helplessly: "Well, the fact that Master Shen and Master Jiang are brothers with different surnames is not a rare thing in the capital, but in the eyes of some outsiders who don't know the whole story, it is indeed It’s a bit unbelievable, especially for Master Jiang’s biological mother. Being a remarried daughter in this era often has to bear a lot..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao moved the corners of her lips silently but said nothing.

She understood what Shopkeeper Zhou meant, but for a person with modern thinking, she didn't think it was a shameful thing for a woman to marry for the second time, or how shocking it was... Instead, she felt that such a woman was very brave, especially in such a situation. In an era, they had the courage to break free from the shackles of this era that bound them.

"Xiaoxiao, do you know who Master Shen's biological father is?" Shopkeeper Zhou suddenly said.

"Hey, who is it?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked subconsciously.

"General Shen of Duke Dingguo's Mansion." Shopkeeper Zhou said every word, "The founding hero who followed our Emperor Dayin to conquer this country!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly widened: "Isn't Master Shen's mother..."

The general’s wife of Duke Dingguo’s mansion!

No, why did Shen Que's biological mother marry Jiang Yu's father instead of taking the position of a good general's wife?

If she remembered correctly, she remembered that the original book said that Jiang Yu's father was just a merchant, and there was no comparison with the dignified general of Dingguo Palace!

Shopkeeper Zhou saw the shock on Jiang Xiaoxiao's face and said slowly: "But eight years ago, General Shen died in Mobei."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was caught off guard and paused: "General Shen...is dead?"

Although Dayin has enjoyed peace and prosperity in the past few years, he has always been at odds with Mobei.

Mobei is located in a remote area, and the area around the capital has abundant water and grass, and herds of cattle and grass. However, the kings of the past dynasties were ambitious, fierce and fierce, and sent troops to attack Dayin several times.

The men of the Shen family guarded the border, resisted foreign enemies with their flesh and blood, and defeated Mobei many times. They created peace on the border for twenty years and became famous in both countries.

The great joy of the Holy Lord Long Yan is indispensable, and it is inevitable to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister.

But such illustrious military exploits eventually aroused the fear and jealousy of countless people.

Eight years ago, on his way back to the DPRK, General Shen suddenly suffered from an old illness and died. His body was carried back to Kyoto along with the news of victory at the border...

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but click his tongue when he heard this. Such an iron-blooded man who defended his family and country had finally become a victim of the struggle for power.

but……

"What does this have to do with Mrs. Shen's remarriage?"

"Alas." Shopkeeper Zhou sighed deeply, "This is all a helpless move..."

General Shen has only two sons, Shen Que and his eldest brother.

When General Shen died, the Duke of Dingguo's palace lost its backbone. Many people focused on his two sons and wanted to eliminate the root causes and eliminate future troubles. Shen Que was only eight years old at the time, and he was small and weak. His eldest brother was extremely sad because of his father's death and could not afford to fall ill. The huge family fortune could not be maintained under the eager eyes of those people.

Mrs. Shen simply refused to do anything, declined the generous reward from the Holy Emperor, and took her two sons to marry Jiang Yu's father, who was just a small wealthy businessman at the time.

It was her move that completely reassured the gang of jackals and tigers in Kyoto, and they were sure that the two sons of the Shen family would not do much in the future, let alone follow the same path as their father.

After listening to Shopkeeper Zhou's story about the decline of the Shen family, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little sad, but in her heart she felt even more admiration for Mrs. Shen, whom she had never met before.

Under the circumstances at that time, in order to save the life of my son, it was not easy to marry under tremendous pressure...

This is not easy for a woman, and even more difficult for a mother.

Jiang Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked at the endless sky. There are no peaceful years in this world. Others are carrying the burden for them. Such peaceful and stable days are bought by others with their own flesh and blood.

"Because of these things, Master Jiang has been silent since he was admitted to the Juren Examination at a young age..." Shopkeeper Zhou said, looking towards the cellar in the distance.

Jiang Yu was so clever that he was hailed as a genius by the headmaster of the academy since he entered the academy. He lived up to expectations. He passed the boy student examination at the age of ten, the scholar examination at the age of twelve, and the imperial examination at the age of fifteen... In the academic institution at that time It was a sensation, and everyone who heard it was envious and admired it.

Even Jiang Xiaoxiao, who knew from the original work that Jiang Yu had made a difference in the imperial examination, was stunned. He passed the examination as a boy student at the age of ten, as a scholar at the age of thirteen, and as a scholar at the age of fifteen... This is too amazing. Got it!

In this era, the college examination was held every two years, and the provincial examination was held every three years. What did this mean? Jiang Yu went from being a child student to being a candidate, and never failed in the exam. Only at such a young age of fifteen could he become an adult. He became the master of Juren that everyone envied!

"Then why doesn't Brother Jiang continue to take the exam?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully.

Fifteen-year-old Juren, even if she is not from this era, she still understands the value of these two words.

The old Li family always wanted to have a scholar to honor their ancestors. Li Shoude was regarded as a treasure when he was admitted to the Tongsheng School when he was nearly twenty years old. Now in his thirties, he is still working hard to get the title of scholar.

In this era, there are many people who have spent their entire lives in poverty before they can pass the Tongsheng examination. Many old Tongsheng are sixty or seventy years old, and they are still taking part happily...

But in a flash, she suddenly remembered the plot of the original book. Jiang Yu finally got the top prize in his twenties, but that also became his talisman.

——He finally ended up miserably dying in prison!

"Xiaoxiao, do you know what it means to pass the exam in Dayin?" Shopkeeper Zhou asked rhetorically.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded silently.

Not only in the world constructed by this novel, but also in the ancient world she knew, the imperial examination system always implemented the principle of learning and excellence, and as long as you passed the exam, it meant you were qualified to be an official.

How could the people in the imperial court watch Jiang Yu embark on an official career? Wouldn't that be creating enemies for themselves? Even if he is not a descendant of General Shen, such a talented person must be guarded against.

She understood Jiang Yu's intention to hide his talent, give up his official career and go into business.

But... in the original plot, why did he suddenly change his mind and pursue an official career?

What changed his mind?
