In the 23rd year of Baiyue, Jiang Sanyan and Jiang Xiaoya had a satisfying new year.

Just after the Spring Festival, the Qian Mansion sent someone to Jiangjia Village to deliver two boxes of books to Jiang Sanyan, saying that it was Li Zhu's confession before he left, that as long as he studied hard, he would be more confident in taking the county examination in autumn.

Jiang Sanyan thanked her and thanked her mentor even more from the bottom of her heart. She sorted out the books, many of which were marked with annotations, and some were handwritten, but they didn't look like Li Zhu's words.

It should be written by a friend of the husband, or someone who has read these books, she thought.In this way, it is convenient for myself, just read the notes if you don't understand.

Because there are no relatives, only an uncle, and he doesn't care about their New Year's gift, Jiang Sanyan simply closed his door to study, and it would be clean without unnecessary human exchanges.

Just after the first month passed, she glanced at Jiang Xiaoya who was still only playing with her friends, and thought that after the county test, she would spend time teaching her younger sister, even if she was not interested in reading, she still needed to learn more.

Jiang Sanyan recalled Baiyue's 23-year county examination questions, and was able to remain silent for about [-]%.Although Mo Yi and Tie Jing couldn't remember some detailed questions, they could roughly find the direction of the assessment, so it shouldn't be a problem if they put their minds to it.

The difficulty is that although she remembers the titles of policy questions and poems, she can't write satisfactory ones.Fortunately, the books sent by Li Zhu have a complete range of categories, and you can find articles and poems with similar ideas. In this way, you can summarize the experience of these famous works, and then practice hard, and you should be able to answer them by then. .

Early this morning, Jiang Sanyan was practicing writing Fu, when she heard someone talking in the yard outside, she went out to take a look, and saw her aunt leading a fat old lady with a wealthy appearance into the yard.

"Sister-in-law of the Zhou family, look, this is my niece. She just passed childbirth last year. Among other things, she must be incomparable in terms of literacy and hyphenation. She is also very honest and obedient." Mrs. Jiang Lin The two sisters tugged on the old lady Zhou's arm with flattering smiles on their faces.

The old lady of Zhou's circled around Jiang Sanyan, showing a trace of satisfaction on her face, she deliberately coughed, and said with a straight voice: "The appearance is still Zhou Zheng, but the body is too weak, I'm afraid it's not easy to give birth, Fortunately, I am a child, so I can accompany my son to study when I go back, and the most important thing is to have a talented lady like you, my aunt, to take care of me, otherwise I will look down on you."

Jiang Lin's face immediately burst into a smile: "Sister-in-law of the Zhou family, look at what you said, my husband is only these two nieces, how can he not care about it, you just relax, marry a virgin girl and go home , Master Zhou will definitely come back as a child this year."

Jiang Sanyan stood where she was, enduring the old lady's scrutiny as if picking vegetables. After listening to the two compliment each other for a while, she also heard a general situation.

The old lady's surname was Zhou, and she was a small landlord in the Jianglin family's natal village. There was a son in the family who had failed the child's exam for many years, so she wanted to give her son a concubine who was good at reading and writing, thinking that she could gain literary style.

Listening to the meaning of these words, that young master Zhou is not in his forties or in his thirties, and he has a wife and a concubine at home. He failed the exam for so many years and even failed a child student. It can be seen that he didn't put his mind on studying. The uncle's mother-in-law has no profit and can't bear the early temper. The reason for being so eager is probably that she can reap a lot of benefits.

Thinking of this, she looked at Jiang Lin's eyes a little colder: "Auntie, I have no intention of getting married, please worry about it, this aunt, please come back."

Jiang Lin was furious when she heard the words, and was about to curse, when she saw Mrs. Zhou beside her, she swallowed and took back the words: "Sister-in-law of the Zhou family, it's all because I forgot I told Sanyan that she can only read books. When I tell her well, where can I find such a good family as the Zhou family, you can go back and wait for the good news."

Mrs. Zhou nodded, as if agreeing with Mrs. Jiang Lin's words: "It's good to be able to read, Mrs. Xiucai, tell her what's the use of a woman reading so many books. If it weren't for your niece, I wouldn't agree with anyone else."

Standing in the yard, Jiang Sanyan watched Jiang Lin send that Zhou away, and there were people watching the excitement around the courtyard. She sighed weakly, feeling extremely irritated.

Don't think about it, the auntie will come back after seeing off the Zhou family.She wasn't afraid of Jiang Lin's troubles, but she was worried that this man was unreasonable. If he failed once, he might make troubles frequently. How could she study with peace of mind in the future.

Sure enough, within half a quarter of an hour, Jiang Lin came back, and when she entered the yard, she pulled a face, thinking that she had just been refuted by Jiang Sanyan.Since she married into the Jiang family, no matter whether she was in the Jiang family village or back to her natal family, whoever met her would not respect her as a scholar, but these two broom stars who were born in Jiang's second family, made her stand up in front of outsiders every day, without mentioning it. Don't be ashamed.

Jiang Sanyan looked at Jiang Lin with a bad face, sighed in his heart, and said first, "Auntie, I know your intentions are good, Sanyan accepts it, but I am now concentrating on my studies, at least this year I really don't want to think about marriage , you are usually busy, so don't worry about me."

It's okay not to say this, but when Jiang Lin heard this, he felt angry, why concentrate on studying, and he is still not satisfied after passing the Tongsheng test, so it is possible that he still wants to be a scholar.

Her husband-in-law has been a scholar for so many years, and her son hasn't passed the exam yet, so why let the broom star of Jiang's second family pass the exam.The ancestor of the Jiang family must have been blind. He didn't protect her husband and son, but let this little girl win the film once.

No, she can't let this broom star take away her son's luck. The ancestor of the Jiang family should bless Jiang Jiejin, not the water that Jiang Sanyan wants to pour out.

"What books do you read? Xie Jin told me that you were kicked out of the county school because you wanted a man. I'm doing it for your own good. If you drag on, even if you want to be a concubine of the Zhou family, they don't necessarily want you to be a concubine." You, then you can only find a widower."

The people who had just dispersed outside the courtyard gathered together again, standing in twos and threes outside the fence and watching, Jiang Sanyan pursed his lips, and said kindly: "I know you are doing it for my own good, and I was also arrested for the county school. If others are burdening you, you should worry less, Auntie, and besides, Xiaoya is still young, so I really don't want to think about marriage this year."

She was thinking in her heart, after the fall, when she passed the examination for a scholar, she would have the same status as her uncle, and her aunt would probably restrain herself a bit, so let's procrastinate for now, and I can't waste all my time on it.

However, Jiang Lin didn't want to give up, she glanced outside the courtyard, deliberately raised her voice, and said, "I didn't say, San girl, you should think about yourself, even if it's not for yourself, you should also think about it for the little girl.

You provoked men in the county school, offended Master Juren, and you were kicked out.A rich family like the Zhou family agreed to this marriage because your uncle is a scholar. Otherwise, even if my mouth is worn out, it won’t be of much use. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. With a reputation like yours, you might cry sometime. "

Jiang Sanyan looked at Jiang Linshi expressionlessly. As the old saying goes, what kind of relative someone tells you, it means that you can only be worthy of what kind of person in his heart.

She is seventeen years old, and she doesn't do vulgar things except for reading. Although she is not good at farming, she can be counted as a living room and a kitchen. As a concubine, she is still a person who is more than 20 years younger than her.

She clenched her fists and tried to maintain a kind face, but her eyes became colder and colder: "I'm afraid I don't have that blessing, so don't worry about my aunt. If I want to be a concubine, I'd rather become a nun."

After Jiang Sanyan finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the room, then locked the door behind her back, squatted down with her back against the door, covering her ears, not to listen to Jiang Lin's yelling outside. Finally there was no movement.

She stood up and walked to the table, and found a post left by Li Zhu. Her husband told her that if she had nowhere to read, she could take this post to Li Garden, and the servant would open the door for her. Everything in the study was complete, and it was very easy. Suitable for learning.

She originally thought not to cause trouble for her husband, but now she had to.

From that day on, Jiang Sanyan began to go to and from Li Garden, leaving early and returning late.I prepared meals for my sister every day, and then walked for more than an hour to Li Zhu's place.Although the journey was tiring, looking at the trees and crops along the way can also relax your mind, at least you can avoid Jiang Lin's noise.

"Sister, my aunt said that you don't know what's good and what's wrong, so if you can't get married in the future, you can only be your sister-in-law."

"Sister, my aunt told people that you were fooling around looking for men all day long, and you were caught and going to be soaked in a pig cage."

"Sister, the eldest aunt said that you have ruined the reputation of our Jiang family, and even I will not be able to find my husband's family in the future."

Every day when she returns home, Jiang Sanyan hears new gossip without exception. She usually rests early because she is too tired because of the long journey.Because the weather is not so good today, there are dark clouds outside, and it seems that it will rain at any time.

She went home early, and after a short rest, Jiang Xiaoya came back, and then, as usual, she talked about the gossip that Jiang Linshi had spread outside.

"Xiaoya, the eldest aunt is not a god. It's not that she responds to what she says. Let's live our lives well. You should take care of yourself. Can you write your name?"

Jiang Xiaoya looked at her sister. She knew that her aunt was not a god, but the villagers believed it. Even her little friends made fun of her because she would not be able to marry in the future, so she could only be a sister-in-law.

Thinking of this, she turned her head angrily, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know how to read or write. I want to learn embroidery. Sister, please find a way for me to learn embroidery. I will definitely study hard."

Jiang Sanyan was stunned. She always knew that Jiang Xiaoya was not keen on reading poetry and literacy, but she never thought that her younger sister was interested in doing embroidery. She paused and asked solemnly: "Xiaoya, tell my sister, is it Do you really not like reading? If you really don’t want to, I won’t force you. If you really like doing embroidery, I will find a way for you to learn.”
