Immediately afterwards, impeachment papers sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. The emperor ignored them and suppressed them.

He went to the Dali Temple Minister and asked about the corruption case of Jiang Yan in Huaizhou. The corruption accounts were clearly listed. What could be used to slander him?

The emperor was angry.

"My dear, go check to see if Yang Sen is involved with the Jiang family! The evidence is already in front of you, but Yang Sen is still making insinuations in the book. How can it be unreasonable!"

Yang Sen was the first censor to impeach Shen Su.

No one else knew about Shen Su's family affairs, but he was very aware of it. Yang Sen's brochure just said that Shen Su was unfilial, and there were endless debates about this matter. The brochure that slandered the Jiang family for corruption mentioned something subtle, but it didn't seem like much at first glance. People who can't help but see think more.

Yi Zishu raised his eyelids and glanced at the emperor's face, "Your Majesty, I have read the document and there is nothing wrong. As a public official, Yang Yushi did his duty. Although his words were a little extreme, his actions were not correct. No big mistake.

The emperor didn't like chatting with these ministers the most, so he threw the note away and ignored it.

After this incident, Shen Su's appointment as Jing Zhaoyin was put on the agenda earlier.

He was summoned to the palace again, and when he returned home, Shen Su frowned.

The disaster relief work was in full swing, and Shen Huaixu went out early and came back late every day. The Xuanping Marquis Mansion also set up a porridge shed outside the city, and Shuangjiang managed the porridge relief work. She did not need to come forward in person, so she started working as a free clinic again.

Jishitang is the most prestigious pharmacy in the capital. Since the natural disaster, it has helped many poor people.

The nephew of Doctor Dong was the doctor of Jishi Hall. When Doctor Dong heard that Shen Huaixu had this idea, he took her to Jishi Hall.

With Dr. Dong as his guarantor, Shen Huaixu's medical skills were not questioned even though he was young.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Shen Huaixu stretched out his little hand and waved it in front of his father's eyes.

Shen Su's brows smoothed instantly, "Are you tired today?"

"Why are you tired? I'm not tired. It's quite fun."

If so many women come to her for medical treatment every day, given time, she will definitely become a master of gynecology.

Shen Huaixu poured tea for the two of them, took the teacup to his mouth and asked, "What happened when dad came to the palace today?"

Shen Su did not shy away from discussing court matters with his daughter.

"His Majesty wants me to assume the position of Jing Zhaoyin."

Shen Huaixu tilted his head and recalled what Jing Zhaoyin did. He was responsible for the administrative affairs of various districts in the capital, which was equivalent to the modern mayor of the capital.

"You were in the war before, how come you are allowed to leave the profession?" Shen Huaixu muttered. She could tell that her father was more interested in mountains and rivers than in government affairs.

The violence that had accumulated in her heart for ten years was wiped out with the destruction of the Jiang family. Although she still occasionally stared at the portraits of her mother and grandmother that she had drawn, she was much more relaxed than before.

"Dad, do you have any plans?"

Shen Su put down the tea cup in his hand, "Dad just wants to accompany you to grow up well."

Listening to these words, Shen Huaixu smiled happily, "Then you can do it if you want to do it. If you don't want to do it, just tell the emperor. No wonder someone accused you of being unfilial before. I think many people got the news and didn't want you to interfere. .”

"This matter will be discussed later, and I will think about it carefully before talking about it."

It's good for the idle marquis, but not having real power means that he can't say anything if Miaomiao causes any trouble in the future. He knows that Miaomiao will never cause trouble, but he always thinks of taking precautions.

Shen Huaixu had a firm look on his face, "Dad, Miao Miao will support you no matter what decision you make."

After the father and daughter discussed it, they ate again. Shen Huaixu walked out of the main courtyard and stopped when he saw from a distance that most of the moon was missing in the sky.

"Xiao Man, is February almost over?"

"Yes, miss, it's already late February."

Shen Huaixu breathed out. After the county examination on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a notice was posted with the examination time. By that time, she had already left Beichuan County.

Her first letter has been sent to Beichuan County, but she has not received a reply yet.

The county examination and the government examination are not difficult, but they only show that the candidates have the ability to write cultural knowledge and become a child student. The difficult part is the examination after becoming a child student.

She was very confident in Jiang Erlang's two exams.

In Beichuan County, Jiang Erlang had just walked out of the county's special examination room.

The examination room was not indoors, and it was still extremely cold in February. The seats were arranged in a simple examination shed. Not only was it ventilated from all sides, but it was also necessary to keep the papers neat and the handwriting neat in the howling cold wind.

With his legs and feet numb from the cold, he walked towards his carriage.

Before Ah Xu left, he left something called a "warm baby" for him. It would heat up after tearing off a layer of smooth paper. Unfortunately, it had been too long and there was no warmth at all.

After taking four or five exams in a row, his face was a little pale, but his energy was pretty good.

"Second brother! Second brother!"

From a distance, he saw Sister Wei bouncing and waving to him, and her parents and Sanlang were standing next to her. Jiang Erlang strode over with a smile on his face.

"Second brother, is it cold in the examination room?"

"Second brother, how do you think you did in the exam?"

······

"Don't keep asking. Let your second brother rest in the carriage and drink some tea before we talk."

Qian Xiuzhu felt very distressed. Although it had only been four or five days, she always felt that Er'er seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

After driving his children into the carriage, Jiang Boliang couldn't help it anymore. While driving the carriage, he asked, "Erlang, how was your test score?"

Jiang Erlang held hot tea in his hand and said in a pleasant tone: "Fortunately, first place."

Jiang Boliang pulled the reins suddenly, "What? First place?!"

Qian Xiuzhu was overjoyed, "I see there are a lot of people older than you, and I thought they must have higher rankings - Erlang, you really give your parents credit."

"Second brother, you are so awesome!"

"Second brother, are the test questions easy? If it is easy, I want to try it too!"

"You said a few days ago that you would grow peppers and potatoes in the future..."

"Isn't it good? I have to worry about the greenhouse that Yaomei left behind. Maybe it will be over in a few days! It won't hinder my exams!"

"Third brother is bragging!"

······

The whole journey back to Jiuxi Village was lively. Not long after, the whole village heard the news that Jiang Erlang had won the first place in the county examination, and the whole village was excited.

After sending all the villagers away, Jiang Zhengmao approached Jiang Erlang slightly drunk, "Erlang, when is the government examination? Where will it be?"

Jiang Erlang helped his uncle, who was staggering a little, and said warmly: "The exam is in Qianzhou. There are also government exams in early April and hospital exams at the end of the month."

Jiang Zhengmao was so excited that he sobered up a little.

He counted on his fingers, "We have to go to Qianzhou in advance. We have to go in late March. It happens that the Zhou family next door also passed the county examination. Then you can rent a yard together in Qianzhou. A few people can do it together." Save some money...I'll go to Dafeng Village next door to find Zhou Lizheng."

Jiang Zhengmao was about to leave in a hurry, but was stopped by Jiang Erlang, "Uncle, this is not urgent. You are drunk. It is only proper to go back and rest early."

Reaching out and patting his head, Jiang Zhengmao said, "Then I'll go find Zhou Lizheng tomorrow."

After sending his uncle home, Jiang Erlang returned to his desk, studied ink and spread paper, and wrote three chapters eloquently. He read them word for word and found nothing missing. He carefully dried the ink and put it in an envelope.

He had already received the letter from the capital, but he had not written a reply until this moment. He wrote everything his family had told him in his letter, hoping that people thousands of miles away could receive the thoughts of the villagers as soon as possible.

After doing this, Jiang Erlang looked at the vivid little wolf placed by the window. Although it was carved from wood, it always reminded him of that extremely thrilling night.
