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

Chapter 21 Cramping

Xu Shi even God knows that Jiang Jin is in a good mood.

After many days of haze, the sky finally cleared up, and even the strong wind was much gentler.

In order not to worry A Niang, she simply reviewed the books in the study and carefully studied the exercise sets she saw in the bookstore.

And let Qingshan spread the news about her being confined by A Niang.

One day of acting is enough.

Seizing the opportunity to go out, she had to sneak to the casino for an afternoon, and when she came back, she was locked up by the mother who hoped that her son would become a dragon. This was in line with Jiang Jin's personality in front of outsiders.

"Qingshan, just put it here."

Jiang Lin's gentle voice came through the window paper, and Jiang Jin couldn't help getting up curiously.

When he opened the door, Qing Shan, who was only wearing a thin coat, was sweating profusely, carrying a box that could hold a cow.

A Niang also rolled up her sleeves and directed.

The moment the box fell to the ground, Jiang Jin clearly saw Qing Shan's waist flicker.

"What are you guys doing?" She walked over curiously, stood beside the green hill with her hands on her waist, and whispered, "Are you okay?"

Qing Shan pursed his lips and shook his head, and hurriedly helped Jiang Lin to open the lid of the box.

"Show off the dowry." Jiang Lin took out a book from the box with some pride, "These are the only copies kept by your grandfather."

Jiang Jin took the book curiously, and now she understood what A Niang meant when she said those words.

If my aunt found out that what she wanted to grab was a pile of books, she might be so angry that she died on the spot.

A Niang was still busy with her head down, but the joy in her voice couldn't hide it, "Your father's eyes lit up when he saw this."

Jiang Jin nodded in agreement, and she was also happy looking at these books.

Rubbing his hands against the hem of his clothes, he carefully opened the pages of the book.

The books are well preserved, and it can be seen that the previous owner cherished it very much.

Jiang Jin couldn't help being fascinated by reading the book.

But she was knocked on the head by A Niang, "Your child is exactly the same as your father back then, even I forgot when I saw the book."

Jiang Jin rubbed his nose and argued, "I didn't."

She closed the book and leaned over, hugging A Niang's arm and shaking, "A Niang, can you lend me to read these things for a few days."

Jiang Lin raised his index finger and shook it, and finally tapped on the tip of Jiang Jin's nose, "No!"

"Aniang! Please!" She almost hugged Aniang and acted like a baby, but Aniang's attitude was still very firm.

"When you are admitted to Shanju Academy, Auntie will naturally give you these books, but you can't read them yet."

Jiang Lin's tone was a bit serious, "Concentrate on preparing for the exam. Although it is good to study a lot, since you decide to take the exam, you must first complete that goal, understand?"

Jiang Jin nodded, "Aniang is right."

She also rolled up her sleeves with a smile on her face, "How about that kid help Auntie to put on the dowry?"

"Okay." Jiang Linshi pampered Jin's head, "Then let's hurry up."

Jiang Lin's dowry consisted of three boxes.

These are the wealth accumulated by Jiang Jin's grandfather when he traveled all over the world, and every book is a priceless treasure.

Qingshan clumsily followed Jiang Jin's mother and daughter to move the books.

One after another, they are listed in the yard, shining brightly under the sunlight.

Jiang Jin was holding a stack of books in his hands, but he didn't feel cold in the sea of ​​books.

She watched the wind scramble the pages of the book, flying like butterflies out of their cocoons, rushing towards the sky.

The butterfly rose and fell, and the moment it stopped, A Niang looked back and smiled.

Worth it.

All she wanted was A Niang's smile.

just,

It would be fine if she didn't see Nanny Gu who left in a hurry.

These days were so peaceful that she forgot about the danger behind her.

The flying butterflies were shattered in an instant, like a piece of fine porcelain just out of the oven, falling to the ground before it was formed, and shattered into pieces.

Jiang Linshi also noticed her change instantly, "What's wrong?"

"fine."

Jiang Jin laughed, and stood the book beside his face, "It's windy, let's put it away quickly."

Jiang Lin licked her blown hair and agreed with Jiang Jin's statement.

These books keep very well, as long as they are properly ventilated, they don't need to be exposed to excessive sunlight.

But if there is only proper ventilation all the time, even priceless things will lose their original value.

Just like her in the previous life,
Avoid the sharp edge and suffer a crushing defeat.

Jiang Jin looked at the book in his hand again and had a different idea.

After a brief relaxation that day, Jiang Jin returned to his heavy studies.

She must be admitted to Shanju Academy.

She couldn't be stuck in the back house.

Whether it's Jiang Wei's scheming, or a potential survival crisis, no matter what it is for, she will go out.

Maoshi rises with the sunrise,

When Haishi falls asleep with the moon.

She worked tirelessly, day and night, breaking and reconstructing the sentences that had been formed in her heart, based on books, but far beyond books.

No one troubled her, and she was content with this peace, even though she knew it was the prelude to the storm.

Finally, the day of the exam came.

The day before, A Niang drove her to take a bath and change clothes, and went to bed early, so today she is in excellent condition.

In the morning, I ran to the study to review for a while.

When she was about to leave the house, A Niang stuffed her with another kit and told her to keep it with her.

Jiang Jin quickly agreed.

But Jiang Linshi was still worried, "You really don't need me to follow?"

Jiang Jin smiled and sent him back, "It's enough to have green hills, besides, this is just an entrance exam for a college, and my son will give you the number one exam in the future."

Jiang Linshi laughed so loudly, "This kid actually teased me one day, hurry up, don't miss the hour."

Jiang Jin quickly agreed again, she stepped back and walked out, waved at Jiang Linshi, signaling her to go back to the house quickly.

Qing Shan followed behind, also with a look of excitement.

The corner of Jiang Jin's mouth raised unconsciously. She was the one taking the exam, but A Niang and Qingshan were even more nervous than her.

She retracted her hands and stretched herself.

It seems that I am motivated too.

They walked all the way to the main gate, and since Jiang Ling was also going there today, uncle arranged for them to ride two horses.

She usually walks when she goes out. In the Dayan Dynasty, there was a palanquin system. Only officials could ride horses, ride cars and sedan chairs, women travel in sedan chairs, and ordinary people can only walk.

Although riding a horse is cold, but now it is also under the honor of my uncle.

It was only when we got to the door that we found a carriage parked.

The big saddle bridle in the front and the tassels and autumn under the horse's jaw are all black, and the umbrella in the back is a red pagoda top, with a green silk surface and a red silk lining.

Is uncle going too?
She was a little suspicious, but she didn't stop.

Seeing Jiang Ling standing upright in a fox fur cloak in front of the carriage, seeing her coming, he saluted respectfully and called out, "Cousin".

Jiang Jin glanced at the Liuyun satin robe he was wearing, and then looked down at the slightly whitish straight dress he was wearing.

Why does it look like she doesn't take this exam seriously...

"Cousin looks good today."

"Ah."

She simply didn't look at anything, and replied politely, "How about you, how are you preparing?"

Jiang Ling scratched his head, "It's okay."

"Did you receive the gift from you?" Jiang Jin only reacted when he saw the servant following Jiang Ling.

The last time I asked Nanny Gu to deliver it, I don't know if it was delivered, and no one answered.

"what?"

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Jin wanted to say more, but was interrupted by a thin female voice.

"Brother Jin, Brother Ling hurry up and get in the car, it's time to go."

Aunt?
