In mid-July, the weather was getting hotter day by day, and Jiang Ling was still fine, but Hu Hu was already getting anxious.
It lay on the ice jar in the room, with its little face facing the coin-shaped hole carved on the lid of the jar. The ice inside was emitting cool air, making the room cool.
"Host, can we please be more motivated?" It cried with a bitter face, "Zhou Jing'an's loyalty has been stuck at 94% for over half a month. Host, we need to think of a solution."
Jiang Ling, who was sitting on the side, was very calm and relaxed. He ate watermelon with a skewer and read the notebook in his hand at the same time. He looked so leisurely that Hu Hu gritted his teeth.
"Host!" Fox stood up angrily, with his hands on his hips and a puffed up face.
Jiang Ling took the time to look at it and was amused.
Just as she was about to say a few words to comfort it, she heard Zizhen calling her.
"Come in."
She winked at Fox, signaling it to be patient.
Zizhen walked in and replied with a smile: "Young Madam, someone is coming."
Jiang Ling looked over and saw a woman in a green cross-collared skirt walking in. She looked beautiful and energetic.
As soon as I stepped into the house, I said, "Oh, it's so cool."
Jiang Ling was startled, and quickly got off the bed with a smile, went over to greet her, and called out, "Aunt, you came without even telling me so I could come and pick you up."
The person who came was Jiang Ling's aunt, Jiang Lianqiao.
Ever since he knew Jiang Ling was pregnant, he came to Beijing and has been living in the Prince of Jingnan's Mansion.
"Hey, slow down a bit." Seeing her jumping towards him, Jiang Lianqiao quickly walked over to support her, scolding her, "You're still like a child, playing and making trouble. You're going to be a mother now."
Jiang Ling smiled and hugged her, "It's been three months, I'm fine."
She pulled Jiang Lianqiao to sit on the couch and asked Zizhen to serve tea.
"Where has Auntie gone to play these days? She didn't even take me with her." Jiang Ling sniffed in dissatisfaction. "The other day I went home to give you some good stuff I found, but my mother said you were out playing."
Jiang Lianqiao said with a smile: "It's been so long since I came home. Without the trivial matters, I must relax and unwind."
The two sat together chatting and laughing. Upon closer inspection, Jiang Ling's eyebrows and eyes were 70% similar to Jiang Lianqiao's.
With the same bright and beautiful appearance, many people have said that Jiang Ling looks like her aunt.
"I came here today to tell you that your two cousins have passed the college entrance examination and are waiting for the autumn examination in August." Jiang Lianqiao was also happy when talking about this.
In the past two years, the emperor has intended to select talents, so the academy examination and the provincial examination were held in one year. This year, there has been such a big chaos, and it is a time when talents are needed in large numbers.
Now Ye Xuan and Meng Junyao have both passed the college entrance examination. If they get good rankings in the provincial examination, they will become Juren and will have no worries about their future.
Jiang Ling smiled brightly upon hearing this, "My cousin is amazing. I knew that you two would pass the imperial examination smoothly."
"Okay, you are smart." Jiang Lianqiao poked her forehead with a smile.
Then he saw the ice jar in the room and gave her a teasing look, "Why, you need ice in the middle of July?"
Jiang Ling laughed and said, "I was born afraid of heat, and being pregnant is even harder. Aunt, please don't call me a spoiled child."
"Ling'er is not a spoiled child." Jiang Lianqiao glanced outside and lowered her voice: "If he treats you badly and doesn't even want to give you a few pieces of ice, then I will give him a good beating."
Jiang Ling covered her mouth and giggled, "Aunt is mighty, if I am wronged, you have to take charge of it for me."
"Of course I'll tell you." Jiang Lianqiao raised his eyebrows. "When the time comes, your mother and I will rush over with knives. You won't need to cry and complain."
Jiang Ling smiled and talked to her for a while.
Jiang Lianqiao was lively and cheerful by nature. She was always very excited when she told stories. She was really a good storyteller and gossip teller. Jiang Ling listened to her stories about the neighbors in Pingzhou. Her vivid stories were even more exciting than the storybooks.
"Hey, Ling'er, do you know that your brother has a sweetheart?"
Jiang Ling's eyes lit up, and he pulled her aside and started talking: "I ran into Qingyu buying jewelry at Jin Xiangyu earlier. Later, I secretly went to ask him about it, but he was hesitant and refused to tell me. He even told me to ask my brother myself."
At that time, after Zhou Jing'an told her about meeting Qingyu, Jiang Yi's personal guard, queuing up at Jin Xiangyu, she called Qingyu over to ask about it.
Qingyu's face turned red from holding it in, but he refused to reveal a single word.
"Miss, please don't ask me. I don't dare to tell you, otherwise the young master will drag me to the martial arts training ground."
Qingyu's silence left Jiang Ling helpless, so he had to let him go and planned to find time to go back home and test the waters.
But it was the end of May, and the Xiyuan Yaji event was imminent, so this matter naturally had to be put on hold.
Jiang Ling has been asking around for more than a month, but there's no sign of him. This shows how well her brother is hiding.
"Aunt, do you know the inside story?" Jiang Ling's eyes lit up.
She was just curious at first, but after these days, the more Jiang Yi hid things, the more she wanted to know, and now she was extremely curious.
Jiang Lianqiao sighed and shook his head, "This kid is very tight-lipped. I can't get any information from him."
"But, when I came back yesterday, I saw he was so distracted, he was even in a daze during dinner. It was really not right." She continued, "I asked your mother to ask, but she wasn't worried and told me not to ask either. I went to your father, but he wasn't worried either. He said to let the brat figure it out on his own, and that he'd ask him to marry him when he finally came to his senses."
The couple really had no curiosity at all about their son's marriage, which really suffocated her.
