FSC [QT] Chapter 12.3

New Year’s Bonus Chapter

“Spring is here, and it’s only a matter of time before he passes the exam.”

Seeing Widow Xu’s behavior, Jiang Baozong’s heart became cold. At this moment, Mrs. Ding brought the prepared tea. Jiang Baozong picked up the teacup and used the dense water vapor to cover his obscure expression.

“Hehe…”

Widow Xu laughed dryly. She thought that Jiang Baozong would be so happy that he would dance for joy. After all, Pingchun was his favorite son-in-law. Shouldn’t he cry with joy if his idiot daughter could one day match the scholar?

Jiang Baozong’s attitude made Widow Xu a little dissatisfied. She always felt that her son, who was extremely precious in her heart, was nothing more than this in Jiang Baozong’s heart.

Obviously, this time when she came to the door, what she wanted to see was the way the other party begged her in a lowly manner but could not get what he asked for.

“The second thing makes me a little bit embarrassed to talk about it.”

The Jiang family’s tea is good, but Widow Xu’s tongue is bitter and she is not in the mood to taste tea.

She spoke hesitantly as if waiting for Jiang Baozong to answer, but unfortunately, Jiang Baozong was not cooperative at all.

But, the show still has to go on.

“Not long ago, I went to Wenchang Temple to buy some sesame oil money for my family Pingchun. Unexpectedly, I was stopped by a Taoist priest on the way. Seeing that the Taoist priest was wearing tatters, I felt pity for him and spent twenty cents to have Pingchun’s fortune told.”

“The Taoist priest said that Pingchun was the reincarnation of Wenquxing. It’s just a mere college examination, which is definitely not a problem, but there are gains and losses. Although the imperial examination luck in Pingchun is smooth, the wife’s palace star is a bit bleak. If he marries early, he may restrain his future wife. At least, it will make her linger on the sick bed, and at worst… it may also hinder her life.”

Widow Xu did not want to curse her son, so even in her nonsense story, her son was still perfect, but Jiang Wu did not end well. In Widow Xu’s opinion, it would be great if such a choreographed curse came true.

Jiang Baozong suppressed the anger in his heart. He understood the purpose of Widow Xu’s visit today, but he did not know whether it was her only intention or her decision after discussing it with Lin Pingchun.

However, there was actually no difference between the two. When a daughter marries into someone else’s family, the person she gets to spend the most time with is not necessarily her husband but may also be her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Lin Xu was so dissatisfied with Ah Wu that she even cursed her with such vicious words. He could imagine how his daughter would be treated if she really married into the Lin family in the future.

Because of Widow Xu’s words, Jiang Baozong became a little more dissatisfied with Lin Pingchun.

“It’s okay for my family Pingchun to get married in a few years, but I’m just worried about delaying Ah Wu. After all, after a few more years, Ah Wu will be an old girl, and there will be a lot of gossip in the village.”

Widow Xu has been observing Jiang Baozong’s expression. Losing a son-in-law like Pingchun from her family, she is afraid that Jiang Baozong will be devastated.

“Ah Wu? What does Lin Pingchun’s wedding have to do with my Ah Wu?”

Jiang Baozong did not want to be laughed at, and he did not want his daughter to be called an abandoned wife out of thin air. He pretended to be surprised, looked at Widow Xu in confusion, and asked.

“Ah Wu and my Pingchun are engaged.”

Widow Xu did not want to admit the engagement, but seeing Jiang Baozong keep silent about the previous engagement made her feel bad. Her son was so good, shouldn’t he cling to him to the death?

“A marriage contract? Haha, is there a token of exchange? Is there a marriage contract stamped with the official seal? Are there three matchmakers and six betrothals? Is there any exchange of invitations from both parties? It was just a joke made by adults when the two children were still in the womb. How could it be taken seriously?”
