Hello, guys!!! I want to give an announcement!
As New Year is around the corner (in the next few hours), I could not do an update because my relatives will come to visit my house in the next few days.
I will be back on Jan 3rd or 4th (maybe)… Hehe… <( ￣ ≧￣)>
Anyway, I will be back soon. Don’t miss me so much~~ (-‿◦)
And…
Happy New Year 2024, everyone!!! See you next year!
Huo Lindong was really pissed off with this little girl. No one had ever been able to take away a penny from him without paying any price.
If it had been anyone else, Huo Lindong would have snatched the rabbit and torn it apart in front of him.
But, it’s this little girl!
Huo Lindong let out a sigh of relief. This was not his lucky star according to Master Yuanming. He thought that she was more like his nemesis.
“Practice calligraphy, you little fool. I’ve been teaching you for so many days, but you still haven’t made any progress at all.”
Huo Lindong said viciously to Jiang Wu, then held her hand, and taught her how to feel the movement and strength of controlling the brush.
“Ah Wu is not stupid. Ah Wu is well-behaved.”
Jiang Wu is also a bit clever despite her stupidity. Knowing that the person in front of her was willing to give the little rabbit to her, she quickly hid the little rabbit in her little purse and planned to have Grandma Ding fry the little rabbit when she went home at night.
Thinking of the wonderful taste of fried rabbit in her memory, the smile on Jiang Wu’s face became even brighter.
Jiang Baozong stood by the window, looking through the cracks in the window at a boy and girl getting along well with each other in the room.
Reason told him that he should stop the two children from being so close, because Ah Wu and Lin Pingchun had a marriage contract and Lin Pingchun had no intention of breaking the contract.
But reason is one thing, and emotion is another.
The Lin family had let him down too many times. At present, it seemed that Huo Lindong had no ill intentions toward his daughter, and for several days in a row, the other party had been very patient in teaching Ah Wu how to write.
He is Ah Wu’s father, so he had personally experienced the torture of teaching such a stupid student countless times. He is Ah Wu’s father, so he will never get angry with Ah Wu. So, what is Huo Lindong’s position that makes him so patient with Ah Wu?
Maybe the other party really is a good choice.
Jiang Baozong knew that his current indulgence was against the rules and regulations, but it did not matter what nonsense it was about. As long as Ah Wu was happy in the end, that was enough.

“I don’t know if Pingchun passed the exam. Hey, isn’t it already time for the results to be released? Why is there no news?”
In the blink of an eye, the three examinations of the county examination, the government examination, and the imperial examination were all over. Today is the day when the college examination results will be released. Whether the years of hard study have paid off, the results will be announced today.
Mrs. Lin Xu was either burning incense in this temple or worshiping Buddha in the temples these days. Today is the day when the results are released, so she got up early in the morning and waited at the entrance of the village with an empty stomach.
She had already thought about it. If her son passed the exam to become a scholar, the marriage between the Lin and Jiang families would not be possible. After all, the fifteen-year-old scholar was very likely to become the master of civil affairs. Although the Jiang family was a little wealthy, such a silly girl was not worthy of a master.
If her son failed, he would inevitably need help from the Jiang family in the next few years. At that time, she could only temporarily accept Jiang Wu as her daughter-in-law. When her son becomes successful, letting Jiang Wu become a concubine will not be considered bad treatment.
Mrs. Lin Xu’s calculations were very accurate. She calculated correctly that if her son passed the exam, he would definitely stay in Fucheng to celebrate with his classmates today. Therefore, today is also the best time to go to the Jiang family to break the engagement between the two families.
She had already thought of the excuses. The fortune teller said that her son would not get married early. If her son could wait a few more years, what about the little girl from the Jiang family? Could she survive a few more years and become an old girl who could not get married?
Mrs. Lin Xu waited for the Jiang family to retreat when they realized the difficulty.

She makes me sick 😑
Ngl I really hope that Lin Pingchun does pass the exam, so he and his family can go somewhere else!
Nah at this point it’s not just her but the Jiang Father’s fault for being indecisive and foolish! The signs are all there and he’s a scholar for godsake! What use is reading books on Mencius, Character classic or art of war when you don’t even practice those principles in real life! Don’t scholars in these era eventually go into politics or teachers!? Yet he couldn’t even fathom these little country widow’s petty thoughts, or even deduce what his daughter’s eventual fate will be if she’s married out to these degenerate family? Given their era’s culture and tradition? I can’t even!
