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

Chapter 1 Rebirth
Xuanping two years, winter
Jiang Jin nestled on the bed, and the white breath he exhaled swirled in the air.

She woke up for a while.

Xu Shi was dizzy, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

Sensing a rattling at the door curtain,
She twisted her stiff neck and turned around, only to see a frail woman running towards her in surprise with a decoction in her hand.

"Brother Jin, you're awake!"

The word "A Niang" trembled in Jiang Jin's throat. He couldn't believe that A Niang, who died tragically protecting her, actually appeared before her eyes!

She stood up in a daze following the woman's strength, staring straight at her dull face.

"Drink the medicine while it's hot." Jiang Lin lowered his head and scooped up the soup, "Although the medicine was prescribed according to Qingshan's pulse condition, he also caught cold when he fished you out of the water, so this medicine is probably suitable for the symptoms .”

As she spoke, her eyes turned red, "It's all your fault, father, a good girl insists on pretending to be a kid, but now she's sick and can't even be seen by a doctor, so she has to be replaced."

"Auntie..."

Jiang Jin yelled again, obediently took the medicine and downed it.

The sour and bitter medicine rolled down from her throat and warmed her whole body, which also gave her a shiver.

"Let's not talk about it." Jiang Lin sniffed, and grabbed the empty bowl, "Don't let your aunt hear it. There must be no mistakes in returning to the master's house."

Back home?
Could it be... I have come back to my life again! ?

Jiang Jin was stunned for a moment.

In the previous life, her elder brother died suddenly, and her father was relegated to a remote town in the south. Soon after her father died of illness, A Niang took her to live with her distant uncle.

Although the uncle is kind, but he is not at home all year round, and the aunt does not take much care of the mother and daughter.

For so many years, I have relied on A Niang's embroidery and copying books to survive.

He lived a life of poverty and stability until he was 12 years old, when his master, Jingyuan Bofu, suddenly came to his door, originally to find companionship for the illiterate son of the family to study and take the imperial examination.

But she fell into the water not long after, not to mention her injuries, and A Niang was insulted again...

Jiang Jin clutched his chest and coughed uncontrollably, his eyes were scarlet.

If it was all an accident, that would be too coincidental!

"What's the matter?" Jiang Lin's face paled in panic, and she hurriedly got up and patted Jiang Jin's back, "If you don't want to, Auntie will do as you please..."

If you don't go back to the Lord's house, isn't it following the wishes of others?

Jiang Jin hugged her violently and shook his head, hoarsely said, "Mother, I'm going, I want to win the prize in the middle of the moon, and I want to be an extremely human minister."

"This time, I will protect you."

She was talking to A Niang, and she was also talking to herself.

"Auntie can protect herself." Jiang Linshi smiled "puh-bah", and gently helped Jiang Jin calm down, "It's you, it's so easy to study hard for ten years? And your identity..."

"Don't worry, Auntie, there's something I can do."

"Okay, that mother will go to the temple in the future, but she will ask the Bodhisattva for more titles on the gold list."

Jiang Lin only thought that Jiang Jin was joking, after all, she knew the character of the child.

hide it from her,
She also knows.

On weekdays, he is an idiot. Although he is well-versed in elegance and writes well, he has never come into contact with the Four Books and Five Classics.

Jiang Jin didn't know what her mother was thinking, but when she heard the word "temple", her nerves tensed up.

She paled, "Mother, can we not go?"

In the previous life, something happened to A Niang in the temple, and she was kicked out of the house by her aunt before she even had time to bring the dowry.

"However, your aunt made an appointment a few days ago, if you don't go..."

Jiang Jin caught a trace of embarrassment flashing across A Niang's face.

She still had words of comfort in her heart, when she caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure outside the window, she understood.

"Since my aunt has made arrangements, I will go there with my mother."

She raised her jaw slightly to signal Jiang Lin to look at the window,

"The mountain road is dangerous, don't worry."

Jiang Lin's face turned pale again, and he said a few words of promise following Jiang Jin's meaning.

When the mother and daughter were silent, there were two voices outside, saying they wanted to enter the door.

Jiang Linshi straightened his expression and stood up to let the person in.

Jiang Jin's eyelids slightly lifted.

The leader was Mother Jiang beside the old lady, holding some warm objects in her hands with kind eyes.

If she hadn't come back to life again, she would have been deceived by her skin.

Looking at Tao Hong who was carrying the food box behind, Jiang Jin raised his eyebrows.

This peach red willow leaf eyebrow, foxy eyes, calm personality, not as frivolous as her name and appearance, but she is still a maid who is the mistress of the house at a young age, half of the Jiangfu will listen to her.

In the early years, Taohong was just a washing maid. In order to beg this girl to give birth to a child for her gambler son, Mother Jiang used a lot of vicious methods. The celebrity in front of my mother, the two have gotten along well on the surface for so many years, but they are all intrigues in private.

It is reasonable for each to be his own master.

A Niang chatted with these people, but Jiang Jin didn't bother to pay attention.

Anyway, on weekdays, she also had this cold and generous look, they couldn't pick anything out, and they didn't dare to pick any more.

But there is one place that she really cares about.

The old lady is a clean freak, she never sees it dirty, and the people around her are even more demanding to wash their bodies every day and change their clothes frequently, but this Jiang Nanny, as a personal nun, has a little paint on her sleeves.

Her eyes were heavy, she didn't make a sound, she just said, "Nurse's complexion is very good today."

It was Tao Hong who took the conversation, "Mother Jiang's family has a happy event, so it happened naturally."

Jiang Jin nodded knowingly, and then apologized a little, "Look at me, I don't know these things, but I need to say congratulations to Mommy."

Mother Jiang laughed even more heartily when she heard this, "The old slave Xie Master Jin, I only hope that the young master will get better early."

She handed another small basket to Jiang Linshi, "This is the best silver silk charcoal, it burns without ashes, and it doesn't choke your throat. The old lady specially instructed, but you must not let Young Master Jin stay sick."

"The madam also ordered the same." Tao Hong interrupted not to be outdone, "Master Jin remembers to eat these tonics, and the madam also prepared some candied fruit, just in case you feel that the medicine is bitter and you will lose your temper and stop drinking it."

Jiang Jin's brows were all in agreement, and her tone of voice was filled with the usual ruffian, "Then I will have Nanny Lao and Sister Taohong go back and thank me for me."

After sending the two away, she lay on the bedside and coughed non-stop, but still told Auntie to put away the things the two sent and put them in the cabinet.

She dare not use these things.

In her previous life, she caught a cold after falling into the water, and the illness dragged on for a long time without getting better. On the contrary, the cough became more and more serious. Later, she was picked up by the master's family to give birth and was able to barely control it.

"Now that I know that you are going back to the Lord's house, these people are eager to show their hospitality." Jiang Lin frowned, patted her on the back lightly, and said distressedly: "I will ask Qingshan to prescribe some cough medicine and come back. , so procrastinating is not an option.”

Jiang Jin grabbed Jiang Lin who was about to leave with his backhand, "Aniang, I will go to the doctor by myself."

She wanted to know whether her body in the previous life was the root cause of the disease, or someone else's way.

But this made Jiang Linshi tremble in fright, and hurriedly whispered: "Brother Jin is going out in women's clothes?"
