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

Chapter 17
As soon as Jiang Jin entered the room, he saw Jiang Lin who was guarding the door with a worried expression on his face.

The courtyard was still noisy and chaotic, making people upset.

She has some guilt.

Auntie shouldn't be worried.

"Brother Jin, it's good that you're fine."

Jiang Lin's gentle voice suppressed the dryness rising in Jiang Jin's heart.

"Aniang..." Jiang Jin said tentatively, "I gave all the money away, will you blame me?"

"What am I blaming you for?" Jiang Lin gave her an angry look, "What's money in front of human life?"

She squeezed Jiang Jin's hand, and patted it lightly as a comfort, "And I always feel that this child didn't do it."

"A dumb man who eats Coptis chinensis will not be able to tell if he suffers."

Jiang Jin pursed his lower lip, thinking of Qing Ye's chapped mouth, he also felt sore.

"It's true that he didn't do it. He is Jiang Wei's scapegoat."

"It's a poor sight."

The mother and daughter walked to the stove one after another, sat down on the couch and talked in a low voice.

Jiang Jin didn't hide anything from Jiang Lin.

She told Jiang Linshi all her worries and guesses, and Jiang Linshi agreed.

They're in a tough place right now, and it's always good to be careful.

She also didn't want to lose A Niang again.

Seeing that Auntie was talking and doing embroidery skillfully, Jiang Jin couldn't laugh anymore.

The money left in the family may not last this month.

If you want to get money fast...

Jiang Jin struggled for a while, but finally gave up the idea of ​​gambling.

The casino is full of smog and fish and dragons, it is not a good place.

Furthermore, nine out of ten bets lose.

Although she is good at poker, she has always given face to the casino, winning or losing, and controlling it.

Even if he is proficient in arithmetic and has the protection of Qingshan, there is no guarantee that he will win a large sum of money and come out of the casino alive.

She still has to be steady.

Just take it slow.

But she couldn't think of what to do specifically.

Those small businesses that I usually do, earn hard money.

After picking and picking until the end, Jiang Jin didn't find a project that could become bigger and stronger.

She glanced at the snacks made by A Niang on the table, and finally decided to go out and have a look.

"Mother, I want to go out for a while."

"What are you going to do?" Jiang Lin's hand holding the needle paused for a moment, and then accidentally pricked his finger while passing through the cloth.

Jiang Jin was so frightened that he immediately went to hold her hand, but Jiang Linshi avoided her.

"Auntie can support you."

"Auntie?"

The sudden words left Jiang Jin at a loss as to what to say.

"Do you want to go to the casino again?"

Jiang Lin simply put down the things in his hands, his expression was never serious, "You want to study, how can you still be in the gambling house every day?"

Jiang Jin's ears turned red.

"Aunt, I don't have one."

God swear, she just had a momentary thought, and A Niang caught her right away...

"Can you hide it from me?"

Jiang Linshi stretched out his hands to grab Jiang Jin's small ears, so frightened that Jiang Jin quickly covered his ears and hid behind.

"Not really!"

"No?" Jiang Lin's voice was full of sullen gnashing of teeth, "Then why do you want to go?"

"I just want to go to the street to see if there are pastries that are better than A Niang."

Jiang Jin confided all of a sudden, but there was really nothing to hide from Jiang Linshi.

"You." Jiang Linshi nodded her a few times, "You are the one who said you want to study, how many times have you read the book so far?"

"The recent incidents are a little bit more, but they must not affect you."

"Aniang can take care of herself and you."

"Trust Mommy."

Jiang Lin's tone softened at the end.

She knew that Jiang Jin wanted to be strong when he was young.

Going back to the master's house is to protect Jiang Jin. As for the future of the imperial examination, this is fatal to Jiang Jin who is disguised as a man.

But since the child has said that he wants to take the imperial examination, she, as a mother, is naturally willing to fulfill it.

Even if you blind your eyes, tie your hands into a sieve, and risk your life, you can still confess her.

"Naturally, the child believes in Auntie."

Jiang Jin also felt a little guilty.

She knew that A Niang was doing it for her own good, but in this life, she only wanted A Niang to live in peace and not be so tired.

In the future, she will earn a fortune for A Niang with her skills!

"The children listen to you, so go to study."

Jiang Jin got up immediately and filled up the lamp oil, "It's dark in the room, don't hurt your eyes."

Jiang Linshi nodded, and stopped looking at Jiang Jin with moist eyes, "Go now."

……

After leaving the door, Jiang Jin let out a foul breath.

A Niang is good, she has to accept it.

However, before reading, she had to act in a play.

Looking up to see that it was still early, she tied the cloak tightly and went straight to the back of the courtyard where the servants lived.

The road leading to the servant's room is also flat, but it is much more depressed than the road leading to the main courtyard.

There is no setting in the courtyard, clean and tidy can be regarded as first-class.

She familiarly touched the corner door of the ear room and got in.

Not far away is a small grass house, which is a warehouse for storing tools, but it is still a place for servants to be lazy.

Sure enough, when he opened the door, he saw a few servants playing cards and having fun.

The boys hurriedly hid the cards behind their backs in a daze, and said with a trembling smile, "Master Jin, why are you here?"

"Curry is dirty, what can we go out and talk about?"

Jiang Jin didn't say anything, but raised his eyebrows and sat down directly, "I'm here to play cards with you."

"Playing cards, what playing cards?" Several servants exchanged glances, opened their mouths to communicate but did not dare to make a sound.

"We're just here to get the tools."

"is it?"

Jiang Jin was too lazy to talk nonsense. This was the place where she first came into contact with poker.

Later, as she got older, and Jiang Wei later took charge of the Jiang Mansion, she didn't want to stay in the mansion for a long time and ran out to play.

She reached out and lifted the mat, revealing the cards, and urged impatiently, "Don't talk nonsense, play a few games with the young master."

Jiang Jin directly pulled down the closest servant, "Shuffle the cards!"

Then he muttered impatiently, "If my aunt hadn't stopped me from going out, I wouldn't have come here, young master."

A few boys, you look at me, and I look at you.

I thought,

Well, this Young Master Jin is probably addicted.

So he just sat down.

For them, Jiang Jin can only be regarded as half the master at best.

It wasn't him that they were afraid of, they were afraid that he would sue.

However, there are always impenetrable walls.

The news that Jiang Jin went to the servant's room to play cards soon reached Jiang Wei's ears.

Originally immersed in the joy of Jiang Jin accepting the dumb slave, now getting the news is even more icing on the cake.

She held back her dancing, exhaled heavily, and said to Nanny Gu who was standing respectfully beside her, "Thanks for having arranged for you to come here, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

"Hello miss, the master will feel at ease when he is at home." Nanny Gu lowered her eyelashes, suppressing the joy in her heart.

It's just that Jiang Jin's mind is delusional to compete with Young Master Ling for the imperial examination, which is really ignorant.

She really wanted to thank this shabby householder for giving her such a good meeting gift for his wife.

That being the case...

"Master said, since miss, you are worried about my uncle flirting with that widow, you might as well arrange her out."

"You mean... to find a husband for her?"

Nanny Gu didn't directly affirm, "Your cousin's wife's funeral is over, and it's a good time to continue."

"Cousin?" Jiang Weishi pinched the handkerchief, "Didn't cousin sister-in-law be beaten..."

She covered her mouth for an instant, and nodded clearly to express her understanding, "What if someone is killed?"

"That's her fate too."
