Xie Jin was also sleeping restlessly.
In the dream, he was thrown into the snow, and then there was a warm figure supporting him.
Then there was a warm figure and a resolute figure leaving.
He suddenly opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment.
Wait until you see the place clearly.
Is this Ayin's room?
He glanced again at where he lay.
He pulled the quilt next to him and covered his face with it. The sweet fragrance that came to his face was the scent of Ayin.
He lingered in bed for a long time before carefully folding the quilt and leaving the house.
Looking at Ayin who was busy in the kitchen, I thought of the kiss they shared last night when they were both awake.
He subconsciously touched his lips.
With a silly smile.
As soon as Qingyin came out of the kitchen, she saw Xie Jin like this. She quickly avoided his sight and walked past him.
This was the first time Xie Jin let her ignore him.
He glanced at Qingyin's back before going to wash up.
After washing up, he sat opposite Qingyin, picked up the porridge in the bowl and ate it slowly.
Without saying a word, he just stared at her with all his heart and eyes.
Qingyin got angry when she was stared at.
She suddenly put down the chopsticks in her hand, "Xie Jin, you wash the dishes!"
His heart just lifted, then suddenly dropped back down, and Xie Jin quickly responded: "Okay."
He started laughing secretly again.
Qingyin couldn't bear it any longer, so she just stood up and walked out.
Because she had no purpose, Qingyin wandered around aimlessly.
It was not until she stepped onto the stairs that she realized she had stepped onto the bridge. Hearing the knocking sounds coming from the opposite side, she looked over.
Several women who could be named were pounding the laundry on the floor.
Qingyin wanted to retract her foot.
A sharp-eyed woman suddenly stopped scrubbing the clothes in her hands and asked loudly, "Is this Madam Qing? Aren't you going to wash clothes today?"
Qingyin stopped, smiled and shook her head, "Well, I won't wash today."
Just as he was about to leave after replying, the other woman shook the mallet in her hand and asked, "Did Xie take part in the provincial examination some time ago?"
The people around him slowly stopped what they were doing.
The provincial examination was also a familiar subject to these illiterate women.
If I pass the exam, it will be a great honor for my family!
"Did he go? I remember that Xie didn't go after he passed the imperial examination a few years ago. Did he go this year?" a woman muttered in a low voice.
They were also impressed by Xie Jin. After all, he was a scholar under the age of fifteen and lived next door to them.
It's not surprising.
But in the following years, he did not take part in the provincial examination.
Some people began to criticize Xie Jin, saying that his success in passing the imperial examination was just a stroke of luck.
Naturally, he didn't dare to take part in the provincial examination again.
At first, the people around him didn't take it too seriously, thinking that the man was just jealous.
But as time went by, Xie Jin stopped taking the provincial examination, and gradually the rumor spread more and more, and everyone began to believe it.
Unexpectedly, this person suddenly took the exam again this year.
The woman holding the mallet snorted softly, "You might not know this, but isn't my nephew also studying at that Huai-something Academy?"
Everyone laughed and joked when they saw that she couldn't even remember her name.
She wasn't annoyed either.
So what if I don’t remember? Didn’t my nephew still go to the academy?
None of them had the ability of her nephew to enter that academy.
There are only two academies in the town, and the academy her nephew attends is not one that can be entered just by having money. Before entering, one needs to take an academic test and pass it.
And every student there is a scholar.
Therefore, she looked down upon Xie Jin, a mere scholar.
Her nephew also took part in the provincial examination this year and will definitely do better than Xie Jin.
It's no wonder she was so proud. She continued, "You may not know this yet, but Xie Jin was kicked out of the academy."
"Driven...driven out?" The person who greeted Qingyin for the first time couldn't help but look at Qingyin.
She didn't know about this.
Thinking that this person usually doesn't get along with Qingyin, he will definitely stab her now that he has the chance.
I suddenly regretted calling Qingyin down to say hello.
"He wasn't kicked out, my nephew told me that he was expelled by the vice-president himself." He said, looking at Qingyin with a gloating look.
Although she didn't know the specific reason, they were all expelled from school.
It must be because of his poor literary talent that he was rejected.
There are students in their town who have been asked to drop out after studying for one or two years.
Qingyin pursed her lips slightly, took a few more steps towards the stairs, and when she reached the middle of the bridge, she said, "You are wrong. Xie Jin was not expelled from school. I expelled him."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Suddenly, a laugh abruptly rang out in their ears, accompanied by a teasing voice, "Madam Qing, have you figured it out? If you ask me, you should have figured it out a long time ago. Xie Jin is not bad looking and can do his job well. You really don't need to send him to school. In my opinion, it's a good thing he's not good at studying. If he really passes the exam, you'll lose everything."
"Of course not. A man who is strong and capable of supporting his family is enough. Why would he chase after those illusory things? If he really passes the exam, the girls from the noble families in the capital will surely dazzle him."
Xie Jin and Qingyin, one's surname is Xie and the other's surname is Qing, so they naturally know what their relationship is.
When I was a child, some people joked that Qingyin had raised a child son-in-law.
As they grew up, those people started to gossip about them behind their backs.
If you don’t hear the clear sound, just pretend that it doesn’t exist.
Now that it was brought up again, Qingyin's soft outline was also tinged with a bit of coldness.
When everyone saw her like this, the words that were about to come out of their mouths suddenly stopped.
Forget it, this Madam Qing is easy to mess with, but Xie Jin is not.
This kid has been ruthless since he was young.
Why did those who gossiped about him in front of him only dare to speak behind his back?
It's not that I'm afraid of being beaten,
Although they just meant well to give some advice.
But it is inevitable that he will bear a grudge against me.
This guy probably has second thoughts and doesn't want to be with Madam Qing anymore.
Thinking of this, several people showed a trace of pity for Qingyin.
"Okay, Madam Qing, stop being stubborn. My nephew is in the academy. He told me himself how could he be wrong? He was expelled, so he was expelled. It's not like no one has ever been expelled before. What's the big deal?" Although it was nothing big, the expression of watching a good show on her face only grew longer.
The woman next to her pulled her and said, "Okay, it's no big deal. The sun is getting hotter and hotter. Hurry up and wash and go home."
The pull didn't matter. The woman holding the mallet sneered at her and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You've got your eye on Xie Jin, right? Don't you see, someone raised by someone else will only be yours."
