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

When she entered the door, she saw A Niang sitting on the couch in a daze, with a person dressed as a servant and a peddler standing beside her.

The three of them turned their heads when they heard the sound, and only moved when they saw Jiang Jin came back.

Jiang Lin stepped forward in a hurry, put both hands on Jiang Jin's arm and touched it repeatedly, muttering "It's fine".

Jiang Jin went close to her and patted her, "Aniang is fine."

The others backed out winkingly, and only Jiang Jin and Jiang Lin were left in the room.

Jiang Jin hugged Jiang Linshi and sat back on the couch, "What are you worried about, Auntie? In the future, the child will go to the academy to study, and it doesn't matter if there is this study."

"It doesn't matter if the study burns down, the books can be bought again, but the three boxes of books that were put in a few days ago will be gone if they burn down."

"Aniang, it's still there." Jiang Jin picked up the teapot on the stove and poured it into a white teacup, "Qingshan goes out every day, so I asked him to take the books out. Those books that grandpa left behind They are all well placed in the north of the city.”

Jiang Linshi took the teacup and paused, "Did you expect it a long time ago?"

"Not at all." Jiang Jin told the truth, there was no need to hide these things from A Niang, "I just thought that we would move out sooner or later, and it would be inconvenient if we were in a hurry, so we might as well move out earlier."

She drank the tea as well, and before it reached her mouth, there was a sweet fragrance.

Jiang Jin couldn't help but feel much better. After drinking it in one sip, it was smooth and rich. The pungentness of the ginger diluted the sweetness of the red dates, and the aroma of the tea mixed with the milk was even more mellow.

After a day of freezing outside, this pot of ginger jujube milk tea really dispelled the cold.

"A Niang is such a fantastic idea that she can combine red dates with tea."

"Don't make fun of me." Jiang Lin gave her a sharp look, "You haven't said anything about today's exam. If you go to the academy to study in the future, there is no rush to fix this cross-academy study."

They are sojourners, and although they are the only ones living in the west courtyard, the courtyard is actually not that big.

There is only one principal house, Jiang Lin's, and the two side houses, Jiang Jin, lives in one, and the other is the study room, the kitchen and the room where the servants live.

Now that the study is burned down, they must repair it, and they can't wait for Jiang Yuanze to repair it.

But now the money at home can be counted on the fingers.

Counting the winnings from the gambling house and the five taels of silver sent by Jiang Weishi, and spending a little more during the period, they had less than eight taels left.

However, it was much better than the original state, when Shu Xiu couldn't even make up two taels of silver.

It's just that the money might not even be able to repair the roof.

Jiang Lin seems to know what Jiang Jin is thinking, "But before we leave, we still have to fix it for your uncle. Of course, Brother Jin doesn't have to think about the money, you just need to study at ease."

"The child knows."

Jiang Jin complied obediently. She closed her eyelashes and carefully rummaged through the yams on the stove, "Ma'am, have you thought about doing some business?"

"I have thought about it, but doing business requires merchant registration. Although merchant registration in this dynasty can also take the exam, it will be detrimental to your future official career."

"It's just buying property, not doing business."

Jiang Lin said with a smile, "The remaining silver in the family is barely enough to pay for repairs and buy things for your academy."

Jiang Jin handed out the yams he had pulled out in his hand, "Money is dead, but people are alive. Besides, the boy is not a fool for nothing. If he wants money, he can go to the casino and win a hundred and eighty taels."

"You, you are going to study, what do you want to do?" Jiang Lin poked her forehead angrily, "I know you are doing it for Madam's benefit, but the most important thing now is to study hard, the one in the casino Go to less places.”

Jiang Jin held his forehead, pouted his lips, "Okay, baby, I will listen to Mommy."

She also peeled off the skin of the potato, biting it carefully, it was soft and hot, it was really a kind of happiness to eat this in winter.

What Auntie said was not unreasonable.

If you want to do business, you first need capital.

In fact, it is not bad to open a teahouse. In winter, tea is brewed around the stove, and in summer, it becomes a cold drink.

But the paving, cost, and labor all cost two dollars, and time is also a problem. She can't wait that long.

This tea shop is not as simple as the chaotic stall at the bottom of the mountain gate.

It is said that the chaotic booth earns a lot today, but this money can only be earned once or twice a year, and other competitors will definitely appear after a long time.

Really, everything needs money...

She said many comforting words to A Niang.

It was also because of this incident that she no longer rest assured that A Niang is alone.

into the night.

Jiang Jin didn't close the window or light the lamp, she was enveloped by charcoal fire and moonlight.

Lazily leaning against the window, looking up at the round moon hanging in the sky like a white jade plate.

"Master."

The soft shout brought Jiang Jin's thoughts back.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the person approaching the window from the door.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Qing Shan pursed his lips, "The weather is cold, why do you keep the windows open, but still thinking about the daytime?"

"A bit."

Jiang Jin's voice was a little nasal, she pulled back the sleeves that had fallen outside, and looked up at Qingshan dimly, "You have been busy for a long time, come in to keep warm."

"it is good."

Qing Shan lowered his eyes and reached for the pole supporting the window. His slender and backbone hands, some of which had been honed and rough, rested on the simple pole and were illuminated by the moonlight, which seemed quite safe.

The moment the window was closed, there was only a faint light from the charcoal fire in the room.

There was the sound of the curtain rubbing against the door, and the creaking sound of the wooden door closing.

"Why don't you light the lamp?"

The clear voice fell, and the room lit up with light.

Jiang Jin narrowed his eyes as he got used to it, and saw Qing Shan squatting and fiddling with the charcoal fire in the basin after lighting the lampstand.

His superior jawline made the charcoal fire turn into a warm yellow color, making it impossible to ignore the curved corners of his lips.

Jiang Jin looked away and stared at the paper on the Kang table, "It's nothing."

Qing Shan didn't say much, "Master, I think we need to pay more attention to Mother Jiang."

He stopped laughing, "Li Lai's elder sister is Mother Jiang's daughter-in-law, and Li Lai always wanted her to reconcile."

"Grandma Jiang?" Jiang Jin paused while picking up the pen, "Are you divorced now?"

Qing Shan shook his head, "Grandma Jiang gave a letter to his wife, but her sister didn't leave."

"why?"

Jiang Jin frowned incomprehensibly.

"It seems to be to save Li Lai, probably Mother Jiang said something."

Aoyama's complexion is not very good either.

He also wants to train his men on the right track as soon as possible.

Every time I heard the news, there was only a vague half of it, which was really unfavorable.

Jiang Jin's brows loosened, "It's understandable. This mother Jiang is an empty-handed white wolf. She uses her elder sister to let her younger brother ruin my future, and then uses her younger brother to restrain her elder sister. How despicable."

She pursed her lips and rubbed her fingers against the barrel of the pen, "She's just a servant, she didn't have to be ordered to do this, isn't it a bit outrageous?"

"Master, you mean the old lady?"

Jiang Jin hesitated, but still nodded, "It's just a guess now, the hands and feet are too clean, we can't do anything."

She is still betting on a possibility.

If Lu Huangnian took care of this matter, what kind of explanation would he give her?
"Besides, I suspect that Tao Hong's matter has something to do with her."

Qing Shan also became serious, "Tao Hong only had contact with Nanny Gu during her lifetime."

Nanny Gu?
Jiang Jin thought of the abnormal Nanny Gu recently, and some outrageous thoughts came to his mind.

She thought for a while, and then wrote on the paper, "Tell me, what would happen if the private measurements of this back house were exposed to the sun?"

"It's useless."

"That's great. If you want the fish to take the bait, you need to have enough bait."
