Chapter 123 Reading
For Li Zhongan’s arrival, the people of Man County are all talking about it with great relish and full of anticipation.
Even in a remote village like Jiangjia Village, the topic of casual conversation after dinner is now about the new county magistrate.
Winter is approaching.
The weather in early winter is not too cold, but every morning when you wake up, the yellowed grass and fallen leaves on the roadside are covered with a thick layer of frost.
Xun Yuanbai is going to leave the Jiang family.
The reason was that he was worried about Master Huizhi at Deyin Temple taking care of his pots of medicinal herbs, so he wanted to go back and take a look.
Next, during the winter solstice, the emperor will hold a sacrifice, and he, as the Heavenly Master, must accompany him, so he must rush to the capital in time.
When Xun Yuanbo left, he held Song Jingyun reluctantly and sighed.
What a pity! It would be great if I could go to the capital with such a lucky young man.
But this kind of thing is probably impossible to happen.
After all, Madam Jiang is here, and the young master will definitely not go anywhere.
After sighing for a while, Xun Yuanbo did not forget to ask Song Jingyun, "Young Master, do you have anything to say to me?"
After all, he is a young man with great luck. If he has something to say, he will definitely benefit from it for a long time.
"Hmm..." Song Jingyun thought for a while, "Master Xun, have a safe journey."
Xun Yuanbai, "..."
This is really a very polite statement.
But since the young master has said so, his journey will surely be smooth, which can be regarded as a blessing for him.
"Is there anything else?" Xun Yuanbai asked unwillingly.
Song Jingyun thought for a while and said, "When you have time in the future, come to my house often?"
"Anything else...?"
Song Jingyun thought about it seriously for a while again, "If Master Xun comes directly from the capital next time, can he bring back some snacks or canapes from the capital?"
"Anything else?"
Song Jingyun looked at the bright light in Xun Yuanbo's eyes, wishing he could dig out some treasure from him. He felt a chill down his spine and shrank his neck, "It's okay if you don't bring it..."
Xun Yuanbai, "!!!"
Perhaps he didn't deserve the blessing and advice of the young master! After calming down his broken heart, Xun Yuanbai got into the car with a bunch of pastries that Liu had asked him to take with him on the road.
The fried pastry is made with minced meat, which makes it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes best when it is steaming hot, but if it gets cold, the crust on the outside will become more and more crispy, and the more you chew it, the more delicious it tastes.
Xun Yuanbai stuffed a piece of food into his mouth on the way.
That's fine, after all, it was the young master who helped light the fire when making these shortbreads. ——After sending Xun Yuanbai away, the Jiang family returned to normal.
The workshops and kilns were busy as usual.
The bamboo weaving workshop and the porcelain kiln were doing good business, and Jiang Mixia's income was increasing. Seeing the silver in the small wooden box increasing, Jiang Mixia was already planning to buy some land next year.
Jiang Mixia even considered whether she should take advantage of the capital she had now to expand into other businesses.
"Do you think we should save up to buy a farm, or should we look into doing something else?" Jiang Mixia wanted to hear what Song Jingyun thought.
But after she asked the question, she paused for a long time and did not hear any response from Song Jingyun.
After Jiang Mixia buried the silver in the wooden box, she looked back and saw Song Jingyun sitting by the bed, with his head lowered, deep in thought.
The little son-in-law is worried!
Jiang Mixia suddenly felt a little worried.
Since arriving here, the young son-in-law always speaks out any questions in his mind, and has never been so distracted like this before.
Speaking of which, ever since the last time he was targeted at the porcelain kiln and almost got into trouble, the young son-in-law seems to smile less than before.
Is it because the interstellar society he lives in is peaceful and happy, and there has never been any fighting, but when he came here and saw the darkness of society, he found it difficult to accept for a while? Jiang Mixia thought about it, sat next to Song Jingyun, and patted him on the shoulder, "What are you thinking about, so absent-minded?"
"My wife."
Song Jingyun came back to his senses and said, "I was wondering if I should go to school to study."
The little son-in-law is going to study? Jiang Mixia was a little surprised, "Why do you suddenly feel this way?"
The fonts used here are ordinary traditional Chinese characters. Except for a few rare and difficult ones, Jiang Mixia can recognize most of the others. Occasionally when she goes to the town, she will also ask the old gentleman who writes letters for her in the bookstore for advice. Therefore, Jiang Mixia can recognize and write most of the characters she sees in daily life.
Jiang Mixia basically taught Song Jingyun everything she knew.
It cannot be said that Song Jingyun was very knowledgeable, but at least in daily life, he had no problem reading a book or writing a letter occasionally.
But the little son-in-law has to go to school now...
Jiang Mixia felt a little surprised and wanted to find out the reason.
"Do you have any ideas?" Jiang Mixia added.
"I asked Master Xun these days." Song Jingyun replied, "Studying in the academy can help you pass the imperial examinations. If you pass the examinations, you can become an official."
"You want to be an official?"
"Yes." Song Jingyun nodded, "Be an official, a high-ranking official."
"In this way, next time you encounter something like what happened to the Chai family, you won't be afraid."
As a husband, you have to protect your wife and your family.
But he had no strength, could not beat others in a fight, and was very timid. If he encountered any problems, he could not help but ask his wife for help.
As a husband, Song Jingyun played a very small role.
Although his luck seemed to be better than others and he often encountered some unexpected wealth, he played a slightly greater role when his family was living a tight life at the beginning. Now, the workshop and the porcelain kiln are not making a fortune every day, but they are also a source of income. In addition, Jiang Mixia also makes money by drawing patterns for Qiu Ji, which makes his little things seem more and more meaningless.
This made Song Jingyun very upset.
This is why he always goes to the workshop to help diligently on weekdays, just to help Jiang Mixia and show his role.
But this incident with the porcelain kiln shocked Song Jingyun greatly.
When he encountered others trying to bully the porcelain kiln and the yamen runners were coming to arrest his wife, he felt panic, helpless, and didn't even know what to do. He just wanted to protect Jiang Mixia, but he also knew that he had played a very small role. The feeling of powerlessness was really painful.
So he went to ask Xun Yuanbo if there was any way that could help Jiang Mixia, make her feel more relaxed, and protect her and her family.
Xun Yuanbo’s answer was the imperial examination.
In order to take part in the imperial examination, he had to study.
Go to school to study.
After listening to Song Jingyun's explanation, Jiang Mixia was silent for a while.
I originally thought that the young son-in-law was naive and innocent, living a carefree life every day, and I even thought that he might remain like this in the future.
Unexpectedly, the young son-in-law has so many things to consider.
