Chapter 27 Wu Jin Gets a Box of Books

When Wu Jin arrived, the old lady was already sitting on the east couch waiting for her, her face was as kind as ever, and Wu Jin felt relieved instantly.The old lady didn't let Wu Jin finish the salute, so she pulled Wu Jin to sit beside her and said, "Jin'er, let's have a good chat."

Wu Jin thought he understood that the old lady wanted to chat with someone, that's good, she would absolutely cooperate, so she replied: "Jin'er has long wanted to chat with the old lady too much, the old lady has gone through a lot, and she missed it. A little bit is enough for Jiner to study hard."

The old lady smiled and said, "You sweet girl, I always think about it. Fortunately, I let you into the Lin family back then. Otherwise, I don't know when I will be able to hold my grandson."

Wu Jin felt that if he answered this badly, it seemed that he was speaking ill of Jia Min, so he just pretended to be shy and lowered his head, and stopped talking.

The old lady didn't necessarily want Wu Jin's answer, and then said: "I heard that your natal brother passed the examination of scholar this time"?

Wu Jin praised the old lady for being well-informed, nodded and said, "Yes, my younger brother is good at studying."

The old lady pointed to a gold-painted cage on the desk and said: "These books are all used by your master when he was studying. Although they are old books, there are his reading experience and doubts on them, which can be used as a reference for your younger brother."Wu Jin was very pleasantly surprised. Tanhualang's reading notes are such a rare thing that you can't find them. I quickly thanked the old lady.The old lady nodded, she was thanked, and then said: "When your master comes back from a business trip, you can let your younger brother come to the mansion, so that your master can give more counseling. You don't have to worry about this, wait for your master to come back , I will tell your master together."

Wu Jin's heart was filled with joy, he was so touched, did the old lady give a big surprise, and wanted to say something to thank her, but she was a little choked up.Her younger brother is more hopeful in the exam, so she can be counted on by her natal family.No matter why the old lady suddenly made such a move, or what the motive was, she would respect and thank the old lady from the bottom of her heart.Her natal family was already very happy because her younger brother was admitted as a scholar and was exempted from official duties.If she is admitted to Juren again, and after doing some activities, she can become a county magistrate, then her natal family will be regarded as a change of family.Suddenly, Wu Jin felt that his mood was broadened, and his life became more exciting.

After Wu Jin returned to her yard with a box of books in a cage, she couldn't wait to call Nanny Lin, and told her that she must bring these books to her brother in good condition.Liu Ying was also asked to write the letter, Wu Jin dictated it, and wrote a letter to her brother.As an aside, Wu Jin, an outsider, does not know ancient traditional Chinese characters, and he only learned some very simple characters from his father in his predecessor. In short, writing such a difficult task, Wu Jin can only look up to the sky and sigh. To put it bluntly, Wu Jin is basically illiterate now.After all these troubles, Nanny Lin and Liu Ying knew about it, which was a very good thing for Wu Jin.Congratulations to both of them, and Wu Jin accepted them one by one without any shyness.

Mother Lin noticed something happened, but she was not sure, but she knew that Aunt Wu's position had become more stable, and her bet was sure to win.The next thing she has to do is to increase the bet and increase the rate of return.

After everyone Lai went back, he told the head of the family about Jia Min and the old lady's reaction. Lai Da walked around the room a few times with his hands behind his back, and finally said: "This matter is out of our control. The old lady told me to let you speak." We’ve done it, we’ve said we’ve done it, we’ll leave tomorrow and go back to the capital, and you’ll go to Aunt Min’s place later to see if she has any letters to bring.”It depends on everyone that the head of the family has already made up his mind, so he gave up.

When everyone Lai came to Jia Min's place again before the curfew locked the door, Jia Min had already washed up and was waiting to rest.Jia Min was also surprised when he saw that Mr. Lai would come. When Mr. Lai said his farewell, he was even more surprised, and asked: "Why is it so hasty, why not stay for two more days?"

Everyone Lai replied: "Grandma Min, you also know that there are hundreds of people in Jia's family, and there are many people and more things. I don’t touch the ground, I will be out for a few days, I don’t know how many things have accumulated at home, I have already finished my errands, and I dare not delay any longer.”
