During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

When Jiang Miao returned to the county town from Hewan Village, it was already dark, and there was only a little afterimage of red clouds left on the horizon in the distance. The vendors on the street were packing their bags one after another, preparing to go home.

In the bustling streets, you can hear the sound of abacus being typed in the distance.

It was obvious that Yuzhou City was breached not long ago, but the people here were so optimistic and did not take the previous breach of the city to heart at all, and just did whatever they needed to do.

Infected by such a distinction, Jiang Miao felt a little better.

If only it could be like this every day.

Jiang Miao drove the carriage back home and heard something faintly moving. At first, she thought the lady next door was beating her grandson, but after listening carefully, she found that the sound was clearly coming from her own yard.

The previous courtyard could no longer be inhabited, so Jiang Qian simply rented a courtyard outside Fuxue.

The owner of the courtyard is a teacher from a government school. Because his family went back to his hometown to celebrate his birthday, and it would take about two or three months to come back, he rented the courtyard to Jiang Qian at a cheap price.

"Uuuuuuu..."

Jiang Miao was worried that something would happen to Jiang Qian, so she opened the door anxiously, but was shocked by the scene in front of her.

I saw Princess Huandu crying in her eldest brother's arms. It looked like she had been crying for a long time. The clothes on the eldest brother's chest were wet with tears.

"Brother? What are you doing?"

Jiang Qian's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Jiang Miao, as if he had found a savior, and his tone was a bit pleading, "Ah Miao, you are back, please help me pull her away."

As soon as Jiang Miao stretched out her hand, the princess jumped away and said to Jiang Miao with a red face: "Are you his sister?"

Jiang Miao was stunned for a moment and nodded, thinking that the princess was quite interesting.

"Yes, I am his sister."

Jiang Miao crossed her shoulders and glanced at the princess calmly, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

She felt something was wrong last time, how could a good princess like to hug people casually, but now she finally understood that the princess didn't like to hug people, she liked to hug her big brother.

The little princess bit her lower lip, her long eyelashes filled with tears, and suddenly begged: "Can you help me talk to your elder brother and let him save me."

save you?

Jiang Miao didn't quite understand, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Qian explained with a headache when he saw this, "The princess wants to dress up as my book boy and go to the capital with me."

Jiang Miao suddenly realized that it was probably Princess Huandu who was worried that it would still be dangerous to study in the government, so she wanted to pretend to be a scholar.

It’s understandable, but why do so many scholars choose Big Brother?
"Brother, if you don't like it, you can just refuse. There are so many people going to the capital this time, so the princess can find someone else."

"I don't want to." Luo Huanhuan's tone was unusually firm, "Others are not as smart as Mr. Jiang, so I don't want to follow them."

This is true.

Jiang Miao nodded in agreement, "My eldest brother is indeed very smart. You looking for my eldest brother shows that you have vision."

Luo Huanhuan nodded repeatedly, right?

Jiang Qian pushed Jiang Miao, "Whose side are you from?"

Jiang Miao became serious, "Of course it's from your side." Jiang Qian looked gentle and directly pulled Jiang Miao to Luo Huanhuan and asked her to come forward.

Jiang Miao thought for a while and carefully considered her words, "Logically speaking, you are a princess and we are ordinary people. My eldest brother and I cannot refuse your request."

The little princess nodded repeatedly, that's right, she was a princess, how could she not listen to her?
Jiang Miao changed the topic, "It's just that my eldest brother is not married yet, and you are a young girl. If you pretend to be my eldest brother's book boy, it will be misunderstood and it will be bad for you and my eldest brother's reputation."

Luo Huanhuan didn't think anything was wrong, "I won't tell others. When I return to the capital, I will let my father reward you as eldest brother."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Miao quickly protected her eldest brother behind her, "That's even worse. How are you going to tell the emperor? If the emperor knows that you are pretending to be eldest brother's book boy, what if he gets angry and kills my eldest brother?"

Luo Huanhuan waved her hand, "No, no, father will not do that."

Jiang Miao said with a smile, "Your father may not kill my eldest brother, but if you want to pretend to be my eldest brother's book boy, your father will definitely be unhappy."

Even if you don't do anything to your eldest brother, what if you mess up a little bit?
Jiang Miao had a crush on the little girl in front of her, but as a sister-in-law, she had better forget it.

She has been crying since the first time she met the little princess, and she is still crying now. She seems to like crying very much. If the eldest brother marries her, sooner or later he will be drowned in her tears.

Besides, it has only been a year since Sister Sun Yao passed away, and the grave is still fresh. The eldest brother definitely has no intention of marrying another woman.

Luo Huanhuan cried anxiously. She was not crying quietly, but crying at the top of her lungs.

The sound was so loud that everyone in the neighbors heard it, and soon there was a knock on the door outside.

"Mr. Jiang, no matter what misunderstanding there is between you brother and sister, don't do it. This girl is thin-skinned. What if she gets hurt?"

"That's right, Mr. Jiang, if you have something to say, you can't say it properly, but you mustn't hit anyone."

"The people living in our area are all scholars. Scholars talk but don't do anything. If you dare to mess around, believe it or not, I will come to Li Zheng and drive you out."

"..."

Jiang Qian's face turned green. He glanced at the instigator and pointed at Jiang Miao, "Go out and explain."

Jiang Miao shook her head, "The little princess must have sneaked out at first glance. What if I go out now and someone finds the princess leaving our house later and misunderstands that we beat her?"

Besides, the little princess couldn’t stop crying. Now that she’s out, people outside will know that it’s not her who’s crying. What if something bad is said later?
Brother, this is a critical time for the imperial examination, so we can't let such bad rumors affect us.

Jiang Qian reacted and felt that Jiang Miao had thought carefully. He was really annoyed. Looking at the crying little princess in front of him, Jiang Qian became confused for the first time.

"Princess, if you have something to say, can you stop crying?"

Luo Huanhuan simply sat on the ground, as if he wouldn't get up if he didn't agree, "I don't, you just refuse to save me. You know that someone is harming me but you refuse to help me. I'm going to die anyway, so why don't you do it before you die?" Have a good cry.”

"Woooooooo..."

If you want to go out and cry, what's the point of crying in the house?
"Bang bang bang."

The banging on the door became more and more intense, and Jiang Miao suspected that the neighbors outside might rush in at any time.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Brother, how about you agree to her?"

Jiang Qian glared at Jiang Miao, his cheeks slightly red, "That's nonsense. If I promised her and let His Majesty know about it later, what would happen?" (End of Chapter)
