Chapter 62 The Village Girl 57
So the county magistrate Li Ruoyu insisted on dragging Jiang Sen along to reminisce about old times, and Lin was naturally there to accompany them. They came out in a hurry, and she still held on to the few test questions Jiang Chan gave Lin.
After Li Ruoyu and Jiang Sen said a few words, their eyes turned to the rice paper in Lin's hand. Jiang Sen laughed: "This is the test question my useless daughter took for Di Qiuwei last night. When my wife came out,
Urgent, I brought him out."
As soon as he said this, Li Ruoyu immediately became interested. Although he had only taken office for a month, he had heard a lot about Jiang Chan. The most important thing was the snacks she made, and he had a sweet tooth.
Therefore, Li Ruoyu naturally knew that Jiang Chan was Jiang Sen's adopted daughter. He heard that he could not read before, so how come he could even answer Qiu Wei's test questions now?
"Sister-in-law, please show me quickly, how are you doing with your niece's article?" Li Ruoyu couldn't wait, Jiang Sen nodded slightly, and Mrs. Lin handed over some rice paper she was holding in her hand.
At this time, Li Ruoyu didn't care about reminiscing with Jiang Sen. He frowned and meditated from time to time while holding the article written by Jiang Chan. After a while, he suddenly realized it. To be honest, Lin didn't have time to read it yet. Seeing Li Ruoyu's expression, Lin Ruoyu
Shi was extremely curious.
After a long while, Li Ruoyu put down Jiang Chan's test questions and took a long breath: "Brother Jiang, you are such a talented niece!"
Jiang Sen shook his head, "That's natural, I taught you!"
Li Ruoyu changed the topic: "It's a pity that she is a boudoir girl. If she were a man, she would definitely rise to the top!"
Jiang Sen nodded: "Heroes see the same thing, but it's good for her to be like this now."
Although Mrs. Lin didn't know what Jiang Chan had written that made the two people praise her so much, she just sat aside and listened quietly. When she heard others praise Jiang Chan, she was extremely happy and honored.
"The ideas are very unique, but unfortunately the writing is not very good. Many of them are in vernacular. It seems that Brother Jiang, you need to urge her more in this aspect."
Jiang Sen's face was straight: "Of course, this is the apple of my eye, so of course I have to teach him well."
Li Ruoyu took a sip of tea: "Brother Jiang, the new emperor has just ascended the throne and is currently in a state of affairs. The court is divided into two factions. One is the old school who believes that agriculture should be emphasized and business should be suppressed, and the other is like the virtuous niece.
I believe that industry and commerce should be vigorously developed.”
"There is a lot of quarrel in the court now. Everyone has a point, but no one can convince anyone."
Jiang Sen was at ease: "Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about my daughter's article. Don't talk about anything else."
Li Ruoyu sighed: "Okay, let's talk about something else..."
--Dividing line--
Jiang Mu's family came back quietly. There were indeed very few people in the village helping in the town, but it was not without them. At least Jiang Hai and Jiang He were both in the town.
How could they not know that such a big thing happened in the town? Although the people in the village don't know this yet, when Jiang Hai and Jiang He came back and mentioned it a little bit, Jiang Lin and Zhang family understood it.
Mrs. Zhang wiped the table: "No wonder I can't see the third child coming out these days. Jiang Xing is taking care of it. Her relationship has been hit hard and she is lying on the bed to recuperate."
Jiang Hai talked a little more: "Isn't that right? There was quite a big fuss in the court at the beginning. The little aunt didn't say anything before and after the words. The county magistrate asked her her true intentions in just a few words."
Jiang Lin sighed: "Okay, let's just talk about this at home. Don't say it outside. It will lose the face of our old Jiang family."
Jiang Hai disagreed: "What do we have to be ashamed of? My uncle's family is not afraid of being embarrassed if they do such a thing, what do we have to be ashamed of? Let me tell you, it's better for this board to be on the ground. Who wants her to think about trying to steal Jiang Chan?
Something?"
Jiang He added: "I think my brother-in-law and cousin Jiang Miao must have discussed this matter. Otherwise, how could the whole family go to court? It's just that in the end, the little aunt took the blame herself."
Mrs. Zhang snorted: "I see that girl Jiang Xing has been blowing a lot of wind inside. That girl has always been a white-eyed wolf and is not well-raised. Do you remember that she proposed that she want to adopt the name of her eldest brother and sister-in-law?
?”
There is a gap in this comparison. Although Jiang Chan doesn't speak much, he does practical things. Jiang Xing just keeps talking and wants to keep all the benefits for himself.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhang has a very bad impression of Jiang Xing, especially compared with Jiang Chan. After all, people of all kinds can live on the same rice.
Although Jiang Lin asked not to talk about Wang's beating outside, there is no airtight wall in the world. The news that Wang and others were trying to steal the snack recipe from their adopted daughter spread like wildfire, and soon the whole village
Just know it.
That day Jiang Xing went to wash clothes by the river at the entrance of the village, and was pulled by Chunni, who was not getting along with her. Chunni was the youngest daughter of the Li Zheng family and was usually very favored.
Chunni was outspoken and disliked Jiang Xing's pretentious behavior, so she deliberately raised her voice and asked in front of so many aunts.
"Xingzi, I heard from the aunts this morning, did my aunt get beaten up in the county government office?"
When Chunni said this, the ears of the aunts who were squatting by the river washing clothes perked up. They had only heard the news and didn't know whether it was true or not. Now someone asked Jiang Xing face to face, would they all hold their breath and concentrate?
Yet?
Jiang Xing thought that no one in the village knew, but how could she know that Chunni would ask him in front of her face and in such a loud voice.
She was ashamed and angry, and stamped her feet: "Sister Chunni, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside. My mother didn't get hurt. She has been feeling unwell in the past few days and is resting at home."
No matter what, Jiang Xing couldn't admit that Wang got slapped. Even if it was an open secret, she couldn't admit it. If she admitted it, how could her mother, Wang, come out to see people in the future?
Seeing that Jiang Xing refused to admit it, Chunni couldn't help it. She rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, if not, there won't be any. It seems that everyone has misunderstood. By the way, Xingzi, what does the county government look like? Is the court better than ours?"
Is the ancestral hall in the village bigger?"
Jiang Xing said casually: "Of course the court hall is bigger than our ancestral hall. There are government officials standing on both sides, and the county magistrate is sitting..."
After just saying a few words, Jiang Xing came to her senses and turned pale immediately. She held the wooden basin in one hand and pointed at the spring mud with the other: "Okay, you deliberately deceived me!"
Chunni smiled and said: "I didn't lie to you intentionally. Who made you stupid? You also lied. If you had never been to the court, would you know so clearly? I think what people said about your mother getting slapped is not true.
