Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows, and had to admit that Jiang Wen was indeed not a person who would be easily swayed by words.So I can only ask myself and answer: "It is said that 'everything is inferior, only reading is high'. How many scholars study hard in order to one day carp jump the dragon's gate, soar to the top, make their ancestors shine, and their children and grandchildren..."

"Okay, I know these benefits, can you tell me something meaningful, Old Jiangtou?" Jiang Wen was impatient. Of course, she knew that scholars were treated well in this day and age, so what was the significance to her?

"You are not young anymore, be more patient." Jiang Ming gave her a white look, and continued to say simply and clearly: "Usually, there are Jinshi in the clan or in the village, and a monument will be erected at the ancestral hall or at the entrance of the village. It is a matter of pride." On the one hand, it can also play a deterrent effect, after all, it is not uncommon to see bullies, and knowing that there are Jinshi in this village, or even a juren, can protect the villagers, not to mention that people with fame have certain tax exemption rights."

"Chen'er will be admitted to Jinshi in the future, and the old patriarch will definitely erect a Jinshi monument for him in the ancestral hall."

"That's not the point!" Signaling her to shut up with his eyes, Jiang Mingyi pointed to the northwest direction of Poxia Village, and said, "There is also a village not far from there. A Jinshi came out of the clan many years ago. It’s only a county magistrate, but Xiaoxiao still doesn’t dare to make trouble in the village. And the village below has nothing to rely on..."

Jiang Wen looked into Jiang Mingyi's eyes sincerely, and asked him: "So, is having nothing to rely on a reason to swallow your anger? You don't even have any blood, you are in vain!"

Being able to watch his wife being molested by someone but timidly hiding aside, marrying such a person is really unlucky for eight lifetimes. With a sneer, Jiang Wen pointed at himself with his thumb and said: "Answer what you said before, I, Jiang Wen, Even if you really devote yourself to this village, you won't be shy at all!"

"I'm really surprised. When I recruited you, you looked like a slender woman. Why do you look so gangster?" Jiang Mingyi felt that if he was still alive, he must find a place to support him. Damn, meeting such a person is really heartbreaking.He waved his hand and said helplessly, "Can you stop interrupting me all the time?"

Jiang Wen leaned against the boulder, raised his chin and said, "Maybe you scare me, so you won't let me tell the truth?"

"Are you still listening?"

Jiang Wen stretched out his right hand to signal him to continue.

"I'm not so righteous about things like this because of the people of the clan. Now I only talk about this family. There are three women and one Chen'er. Gossip and gossip in the clan has never been less. Do you get angry every time you hear it?"

"It's not impossible..." Before the words fell, Jiang Wen saw Jiang Ming waving his hand and dodged subconsciously. Seeing him looking at him mockingly, he straightened his body and stroked his braids, explaining: "I'm just kidding." , I don't have violent tendencies, if the two women hadn't said that about Chen'er before, I wouldn't bother to talk to them at all."

"You have a bit of skill in your hands and feet, and you can't stop people's words at all, but people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If your status is no longer the same as it is now, who do you think will dare? Even if someone says, there must be more people to stop it. .”

What he meant was that if he married Lin Ruhai and became an official wife, it would be too late for many people to curry favor with her.But Jiang Wen didn't think so, and asked instead: "Then how do you know that no one will slander you with other things? You must know that the more different your identities are, the more you care about your reputation. I can still act like an ignorant woman." Do you want to teach those who speak wild words?"

"Why don't you think about it, people with lower status than you naturally have other ways to teach them, and most people with higher status than you don't want to lower their status."

"It's okay to wait until Chen'er is admitted to Jinshi. The people I can contact now, in fact, no one can cause me any trouble. In the future..." Jiang Wen took it for granted: "My ability is so great, since helping Nothing much to do, when Chen'er gets married, his wife will take care of it."

"You know it's different." Jiang Mingyi really felt her stubbornness, shook his head, and finally persuaded: "If you want to let go, you want your future daughter-in-law to be capable. Can you settle for second best?"

"Don't play the emotional card." Jiang Wen pointed out sharply, "At the beginning I was worried that Chen'er would go to the capital alone, and I hoped you would take care of it. If you didn't go by yourself, why should I make myself feel uncomfortable now?"

Most people in the world are driven by profit, even his own daughter, presumably she would agree to this marriage with little hesitation.But thinking about it again, if Jiang Wen hadn't come over, Lin Chen wouldn't have been taught so well and be valued by Lin Ruhai...

Thinking about it, each person has a different situation, and Jiang Ming, who was almost persuaded by Jiang Wen, sighed and resigned to his fate: "In this world, it is not possible to move forward with only a passion, I don't have to ask you Remarrying, but I hope that your life will be less tortuous. If you really don't want to, I will respect it. That's all for you, you can think about it yourself."

Jiang Wen shrugged and said indifferently: "You said my reason can't convince mother and mother-in-law, obviously your reason to persuade is not sufficient."

Jiang Mingyi's plan for today was quite good, based on the facts, it made sense, but since it didn't work out, he proposed to go back home.

Jiang Wen didn't do it, he raised his foot and said: "I have come all the way to this remote village, I have to go for a walk before going back."

"Go shopping?" Jiang Mingyi didn't know that she had such leisurely thoughts.

"It's just shopping." After finishing speaking, Jiang Wen looked at his clothes, ran down the hillside, and quickly disappeared into the woods next to the village. The speed can be regarded as having practiced before. .

As soon as Jiang Ming knew that this person was not a quiet one, he sighed helplessly and followed him.

It didn't take long for them to talk. Jiang Wen thought those people couldn't walk very far, but he completely forgot that a group of little bullies didn't need to walk at all. They even ran and bumped past and saw them getting into a car at the intersection. What a wretched carriage, the man who drove it had already waved his whip.

Subconsciously searched around, picked up a stone and threw it at the horse. The horse was startled immediately when its leg was smashed, just as the driver's whip fell, and it was called a planner on the rough road in an instant. The horse galloped wildly.

Jiang Wen also heard people in the car yelling and cursing loudly, so she could only hide behind the bushes and laugh secretly in order not to be discovered.

"Excited?"

When the carriage was gone, Jiang Wen patted the grass clippings on his clothes and stood up, nodding with a smile, "It would be more refreshing if they knocked their noses and faces bruised and swollen."

"It's no wonder your mother said that you are like a 'running wild horse' sometimes." Jiang Ming scrupled his image, stood on the path two steps away from Jiang Wen, and asked again: "Will you go back now?"

"Back."

The two of them took a detour and went back to the carriage, they didn't say anything about going home, they just asked the coachman to go to Gusu to find a restaurant, and they settled for lunch.

After returning home in the afternoon, Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xu asked her where she was going, and Jiang Wen said something perfunctory, and the matter was over.Afterwards, the two of them also mentioned the matter of remarriage several times, seeing that she was always showing no interest, they stopped for the time being.

The Gusu Lin family had too many things to do, and they were impatient to wait for a long time. Jiang Wen asked the two of them for their opinions, and finally decided to wait until Yuanxiao went to the graves of the father-in-law and Lin Yuan before packing up and returning to Yangzhou. Only when you see people can you feel pure.

Regarding their leaving, the old patriarch didn't say much, and he didn't persuade Jiang Wen anymore, but told them to write to him if they had anything to do, so they don't have to worry about troubleping the clan.

Xu and Jiang Wen naturally agreed to the old patriarch's words, but when something happened, to be honest, with the distance from Yangzhou to Gusu, far water could not save the near fire.

On the fifteenth day, the sky was clear in the daytime, and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse at night, so there was no need to worry that the lights would go out halfway. Xu Shi and Jiang Wen took the prepared lights and went out in the evening.

This is a custom, so there are many people in the cemetery of the Lin family, but there are almost only two women, Jiang Wen.When they arrived at the tombs of the father-in-law and Lin Yuan, Lin Xuan was also there. After seeing them, he bowed and saluted.

"Auntie." When turning to Jiang Wen, Lin Xuan's salute was even more meticulous, and said respectfully: "Sister-in-law."

Mrs. Xu nodded at her nephew, and went to put a lamp in front of her husband's tomb. Jiang Wen glanced at the offerings on the ground, and asked Lin Xuan, "How long have you been here?"

"It's only a quarter of an hour to go back to sister-in-law."

"Grandfather sent you here?"

Lin Xuan habitually didn't dare to look at Jiang Wen, nodded and said: "In the past, when Chen'er was not at home, my grandfather also asked me to visit the grave of Da Boyuan and offer incense."

The relationship between the two is so divided because of a variety of reasons.But for grandfather Lin Pang, Jiang Wen's mood is actually a bit complicated. He doesn't hate them as much as the old Wei, but he will not stop the old Wei from doing anything.

It is said that it was the same with his father-in-law Lin Fang back then. He didn't like his son's temperament, but he gave what was due, but his wife always ignored her son when she scolded her...

Putting aside the miscellaneous things in his mind, Jiang Wen said to Lin Xuan: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Should be, should be, even if grandfather doesn't order, I will come." Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. After all, seeing Jiang Wen, he would think of the fear of being spanked when he was a child, even though he was now stronger than her. High, but this fear cannot be dissipated.

"When Chen'er came back as a boxing present a few years ago, he brought back a lot of books he copied by hand. He said that there were many notes on them that would be helpful for the imperial examination. I was too busy to take them out in time. You can go to my house to pick them up later. Copy them. After that, send it to ethnology."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan beamed with joy, and bowed to Jiang Wen again, thanking him: "Sister-in-law and Chen'er are concerned, Lin Xuan must not dare to slack off."
