"Jinjun, I meet Prime Minister Jiang."
Xia Jinjun brought his wife and daughter to pay their respects.
[Old fox, what are you looking at my father doing? What evil plan is he up to? ]
"This is my good nephew, a handsome man."
Jiang Xiaoying didn't say anything, thinking to herself that he was not that talented. However, compared to her future husband, he was really handsome and tall, with an extraordinary temperament.
"Yes, Jinjun has been studying since he was young and understands the teachings of saints the best." said General Wei.
[Grandpa Wei is really good at both civil and military affairs. He said that I understand reason and implied that Jiang Xiaoying was being unreasonable. Hehe, Grandpa Wei is really amazing.]
"Study? Then what about this year's science exam..."
Jiang Xiaoying sneered. She also wanted to hear how the exam went.
Anyway, the new top scholar is her husband.
"Your Excellency, I did not enter this year."
"Oh? But what difficulties did you encounter?" Prime Minister Jiang said hypocritically: "Then you should have told me earlier."
"It's not difficult. I just don't want to think about it."
"Don't tell me you know you won't pass the exam!" Jiang Xiaoying said sarcastically.
"Xiaoying, don't talk nonsense." Prime Minister Jiang scolded coldly.
"I'm not kidding. If he's really capable, why didn't he get in? He talks in high-sounding terms, but he still can't pass."
[My dad failed the exam? If he did, your husband who ranked first in the imperial examination would be the runner-up. Wouldn't you marry my dad then? What a beautiful thing you are dreaming of.]
Xia Jinjun smiled and didn't explain further.
"What is my dear nephew doing now?" Prime Minister Jiang didn't think so. He also passed the imperial examination and studied very hard back then. How could he miss this opportunity to make a name for himself?
This kid was actually able to give up. He is not stupid, absolutely not stupid.
A true fool would never see through his eyes.
Prime Minister Jiang looked at Xia Jinjun again, and his gaze was different from before.
[Why are you looking at my dad? Don’t you always apologize, old fox? You are not here to see your son-in-law.]
"Farming." Xia Jinjun didn't feel embarrassed at all. He made a living by his own ability, and he felt it was quite honorable.
“Ahem…”
General Wei also realized that this old guy had been talking about other things for a long time but was not getting to the point.
"Farming is good. I will farm when I go back." said General Wei.
"My dear nephew, you are a man of lofty ambitions. Isn't it a pity for you to farm?"
"It's not a pity. Everyone has their own aspirations. If you forget your original intention after becoming an official, it's better to stay at home and farm."
Prime Minister Jiang's eyes flashed. Is this kid talking about him?
"Miss Jiang is getting married soon, right?" General Wei took the initiative to turn the topic to Jiang Xiaoying.
Jiang Xiaoying nodded. She didn't take the Xia family seriously, but she still didn't dare to do that to Wei Rong.
"Yes, General Wei must come to the wedding to have a drink."
General Wei waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to eat anymore. We plan to go back in a few days."
"Jinjun is a very upright child. He loves his wife and children the most. He cannot stand anyone bullying them. If you have offended Miss Jiang, I apologize on their behalf."
General Wei said with a smile.
"How dare I, how dare I, this is my fault, Xiaoying, why don't you apologize to your brother and sister-in-law?"
Prime Minister Jiang's attention was mostly focused on Xia Jinjun, followed by Xia Zhiliao. After all, anyone who heard that a child could cure the empress dowager's illness would take a second look.
As for Xia Chen, a quiet woman, he didn't pay too much attention to her.
Jiang Xiaoying slowly stood up and bowed, "I'm sorry, it's me... I was young and ignorant, and my father has already scolded me."
[Young and ignorant? Big sister, how old are you? Can you please stop attributing all your mistakes to your young age? ]
However, Xia Zhiliao just thought about it in his mind and did not ask it out loud.
Now that someone is backing them up, she won't cause trouble.
Grandpa Wei won't let them suffer any loss.
"Niece-in-law, Miss Jiang has apologized. Do you accept it? You were wronged in the first place. Don't be afraid. Prime Minister Jiang is the most reasonable and is known for not protecting his shortcomings. He is not like your uncle. If you have any grievances, just tell me. Prime Minister Jiang will take care of it for you."
Xia Chen shook her head. Even though she was still angry, she couldn't care less about the current situation.
"Thank you, Uncle Wei, thank you, Prime Minister Jiang. I think the conflict is because Miss Jiang's wedding is coming up, and she is busy and impatient. It's understandable. It's just a few words. Why bother you two to run like this? There's nothing to worry about."
Prime Minister Jiang then took a look at the woman. She didn't speak like a country woman. This family had something special.
"Madam, you are really good at talking. You speak so nicely. If you don't know me, you really can't tell that you are from the country. You sound like a lady from a noble family." Jiang Xiaoying's words had hidden meaning.
Xia Chen curled her lips and said, "Of course it can't compare to the young lady's."
Good to know, Jiang Xiaoying said proudly.
But every time she thinks of the determined look on the man's face when he was protecting her, any woman would have some thoughts.
It's a pity that he has no ambition. It would be good if he had become the top student in high school.
Prime Minister Jiang did not stay long, as he did not want to stay here and be ridiculed by others.
He had already done it, and no one could find fault with him. As for Jiang Xiaoying, she said to the public that she had been under house arrest for half a month, but in fact she would still sneak out.
Prime Minister Jiang didn't say a word on the way back, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Jiang Xiaoying looked at her silent father and said, "Dad, I said I couldn't come, but you insisted on coming. You are the prime minister, and you still put up with this humiliation. You really gave face to those people."
"A real man can bend and stretch. What's the big deal?" Prime Minister Jiang didn't care much. "You should be more careful in the future. This Xia Jinjun..."
"What happened to him?" Jiang Xiaoying asked curiously, "Dad, please tell me quickly."
"Nothing, just a little different."
"What's the difference? If you don't even dare to take the scientific examination, I think you are just showing off your skills."
"No, you don't."
After Prime Minister Jiang finished speaking, he didn't say anything else. No one knew what he was thinking.
Jiang Xiaoying didn't ask any more questions, but continued to fantasize about what would happen if the new number one scholar looked like Xia Jinjun, and he would stand in front of her without hesitation when she was bullied. Thinking of these scenes made her heart flutter.
However, no matter how beautiful your imagination is, you still have to face reality.
She is going to marry that guy Shen Tong in a month.
Moreover, she would have to face being laughed at by the young ladies in the capital, which gave her a headache just thinking about it.
Damn Xia family, why are they so annoying?
She took a good look at the girl again today. No matter how she looked at her, she didn't seem to have such great abilities. She was just a disgusting child.
"Dad, is this the end of the matter?" Jiang Xiaoying couldn't help but ask again.
Prime Minister Jiang looked at her coldly, "What else do you want?"
