Chapter 15

After they got to know each other a little bit, Mrs. Wang remained calm, first asked Xiao Jinfeng about his knowledge, and praised his advice to Wang Changsheng.

"I don't dare to be a junior. Brother Changsheng is already smart. It was he who taught me many things, which made me suddenly see the light. After being with him for a few days, Xiaosheng discovered that there are still many deficiencies in his studies." Xiao Jinfeng replied respectfully.

"I heard from Chang Ming that the second son is also a scholar, why didn't he go to Wenzhou with the eldest son?" Lin asked impatiently.

"Madam, please call me by my name. My name is Xiao Jinyan, and I'm not a serious scholar. If I die, I just know a few words with my father." Xiao Jinyan replied with a light smile, neither humble nor overbearing.

Lin didn't expect her to answer like this, and she didn't know how to proceed.

"Xiao Jinyan, you don't need to be humble. After returning from a long life, I asked him about his knowledge, and he has improved a lot. This is all thanks to you. You know, that kid has already driven away more than a dozen gentlemen. It's good for you , he is more attentive." Wang Changsheng said with a big smile.

The generation of Lin's women is also an elder, and some things are difficult to say too much, but he and Xiao Jinyan are of the same generation, but it is okay.And he also saw that Xiao Jinyan's personality was not as rigid as Xiao Jinfeng's, and Xiao Jinyan was more straightforward.

So, he bluntly pointed out the purpose directly.

Xiao Jinfeng was taken aback. The grandson of the Wang family was studying with Jin Yan, but he didn't know it at all.

"That's because the young master is smart, and I didn't teach him anything. It's just because my brother is seasick. I made up some stories to amuse him, and taught him the Three Character Classic to coax him. The young master only listened to it but remembered it. "Xiao Jinyan explained with a smile, setting aside all the credit for herself.

"Are you studying from your father?" Mrs. Mu glanced at her.

"It's not a special study either. I took time out to learn some characters by chance, and then I read some casual books in my spare time. If you want me to be like my brother, that's no good. I don't know anything about stereotyped essays." Xiao Jinyan explained bluntly.

Mrs. Wang knew that she was refusing the Wang family to ask her to be his wife in disguise.This kid is really smart, much smarter than Xiao Jinfeng, and he's also very tricky.

However, Xiao Jinyan's refusal made Mrs. Wang make up her mind to send Wang Changming to study there.

The children and grandchildren of the Wang family study and study, not for scientific examinations.

Changshou was finally willing to learn, and Xiao Jinyan's personality is indeed good, so it would be nice to make Changshou quieter along the way.

"I heard that you are not in good health? Are you still used to being on the boat?" The old lady asked with concern.

Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but answer the elder's questions, knowing that the old lady was worried about her, so she purposely came to ask the bottom line. "Because I was difficult to be born by my mother, and I was delayed on the road, my body was relatively weak when I was young. Therefore, my parents doted on me and never let me go to the academy to study. Instead, they let me follow my interests. I learned something I liked."

Mrs. Wang and others felt more relieved after hearing this.

As long as it wasn't an illness, they were relieved as to why Xiao Jinyan didn't enter the academy.Because during the scientific examination, she had to stay in the examination room all day and night, and with her body, she definitely couldn't make it through.

"I heard that your parents passed away one after another, and the life of the four of you brothers is not easy." Mrs. Mu sighed and looked at the two of them sympathetically.

"Thank you Madam for your concern. I am the eldest son in my family, so I can definitely take good care of my younger brothers." Xiao Jinfeng replied seriously.

Xiao Jinyan shook her head secretly, this elder brother is really an idiot, the Wang family is clearly suspecting their misconduct.She began to mutter in her heart, what can she do to dispel the suspicion of the Wang family.

If it was on the shore, she would definitely not bother to explain.But not now, she is still sitting on someone else's boat.And it took more than a month to go.If she couldn't explain clearly, the Wang family would be dissatisfied and disdainful of them even if they were entrusted by magistrate Zhang.

Because as a royal businessman, the little magistrate Zhang is nothing in their eyes.

"Speaking of which, it's all due to our unfilial piety as children." Xiao Jinyan said.

Mrs. Wang looked at her with a faint smile, waiting for her to explain.

"Father just came out of the field, so we came out in a hurry, and we didn't have time to honor him." Xiao Jinyan said while observing the reaction of the Wang family.Sure enough, no one from the Wang family interrupted when she deliberately paused.

There must be an explanation.

Xiao Jinfeng on the side listened, with a painful expression on his face.

"Our parents can be said to be the best parents in the world. They died because of mudslides. My father read a wide range of books during his lifetime. He once read in a miscellaneous book that after the flood, there may be a plague. Although The previous few rains have not caused major floods, but the rainy season has just begun, and the river embankment is obviously unbearable. County magistrate Zhang also read the book, so he made a big fanfare for people to guard the embankment. Father's dying wish , I want us to leave Jiangnan and go to the capital to visit relatives. My parents always apologize to me because of my health..." Xiao Jinyan choked up when she said this.

So it is!Seeing Xiao Jinyan's sad appearance, the women of the Wang family fell silent and apologized to her.

It turned out that it was the last wish of their parents that made them leave so quickly!

Lin let out a long breath of relief.It doesn't matter if you have bad conduct, as for Xiao Jinyan who is still in mourning, she doesn't care.Her son was wearing a consecrated jade pendant, so there must be no bad luck.

When Xiao Jinfeng heard this, he suddenly realized something, and his back broke out in cold sweat.

It turned out that the Wang family was worried about their brother's misbehavior, but he didn't find out.Fortunately, Jin Yan was smart and found Duan Yu and explained it in time.

Mrs. Wang was even more satisfied with Xiao Jinyan.This son is ten times smarter than Xiao Jinfeng, he is clever but low-key, very good.

"Invite your brothers to come here today, our Wang family has another unfeeling invitation." Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

"Xiaosheng doesn't dare to be a gentleman, Madam, if you have anything to say, don't disturb Xiaosheng." Xiao Jinfeng replied respectfully.

Seeing his sour literati appearance, Xiao Jinyan shook her head secretly.

This eldest brother has a good character, but unfortunately he is too pedantic.This kind of temperament is really not suitable for an official.

"Xiao Jinyan, Changshou likes you very much. Since you are not a wife, our Wang family can't hire you to be Changshou's wife." As soon as Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Lin's face immediately revealed an anxious look.

"Thank you, Mrs. Wang, for your understanding." Xiao Jinyan thanked her, but smiled wryly in her heart.

Mrs. Wang is a fine person, her words are so artistic, she can predict what she will say next.But knowing what the other party wanted to say, she really couldn't refuse.If you refuse, the relationship between the two families will freeze.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang continued with a smile, "How about this, when you teach your younger brother in the future, can you take that child with you?"

The other party used interrogative sentences, but Xiao Jinyan couldn't say no.

"Thanks to Madam's love, since Madam doesn't dislike me for my lack of knowledge, then let the young master go there."

"Grandmother, Mr. Xiao, I'm going too." Wang Changqing shouted at the side.

"Xiao Jinyan, look, can you have one more?" Mrs. Wang didn't object.

Xiao Jinyan was even more unable to object. In everyone's expectant eyes, there was one more auditor.

"Brother Jinfeng, let's go back and continue yesterday's topic." Wang Changsheng laughed and invited Xiao Jinfeng.

Xiao Jinfeng was a little confused, he glanced at Xiao Jinyan next to him suspiciously, why it took a few days.Did Jinyan become the wife of the Wang family?

Xiao Jinyan stood up without changing her face and said goodbye to Mrs. Wang and the others.
