Chapter 196 Lying Down and Leaning on Brother
Chapter 196 Lying Down and Leaning on Brother
The day after attending Lin Chuan and Ye Yunting's wedding, they set off for the provincial capital.
The carriage bought the day before was parked in the yard. We had been to the provincial capital and were going to the capital, so it would be more cost-effective to buy one as it would take so long.
Ye Wan went into the car to check if she had brought all her belongings.
This carriage is better than the one we rented last time. The horses look more powerful. The carriage is about the same size but the decoration inside is more comfortable.
There were seats in the middle and on the right, all of which were covered with cushions. Jiang Ci also placed the deflated pillows from home on the backrests.
There is a small folding table on the left, and on it are two backpacks, one large and one small.
The large backpack was filled to the brim, with some food sticking out.
Each of them brought a set of replacement clothes, but Ci Ge'er didn't let her take more, saying that they would buy new ones when they arrived in the capital.
There are a few books at the bottom, which Ci Ge'er uses to pass the time on the road.
There were two old quilts on top of the clothes, but they were both clean.
There must be many students going to the prefectures and states to take the imperial examinations along the way. If they cannot find an empty inn on the road, they can spend a night in the carriage without catching a cold.
If you don't go up again, you can use it as a mattress and then lay another layer of it when you get to the inn.
The most important writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as the basic books used for review and calming the mind were all properly placed in Lin Jingchen's schoolbag.
Then she put some of the still hot egg pancakes, pie pancakes, scallion pancakes and steamed buns that she had just brought onto the carriage into the small backpack used to carry food.
There is also a small clay pot containing some braised food made yesterday. You can eat it with pancakes on the road, or put it in noodles in the inn or restaurant.
At the bottom of this small backpack are several packets of cakes and candied fruits, which can provide a change of taste when you are hungry on the road.
Also placed on the seat was Jiang Ci's velvet cloak, Lin Jingsheng's coat and hat, and Lin Jingchen's coat.
There was also an exquisite bamboo bag under the seat over there, which contained soap, and was for his master.
Ye Wan ran to the kitchen again. The hot water in the pot had just boiled. She poured the hot water into the thermos kettle and took three cups and put them into the backpack in the carriage.
Ye Wan finally felt relieved. She was afraid that because they, the family members, had not prepared anything, Lin Jingchen would get sick and feel uncomfortable, and thus fail the exam.
When Ye Wan got off the carriage, she saw Lin Shan standing next to her. "What are you doing standing here?"
"Have you brought everything?"
"It's all here. If you need anything else, you can buy it on the way."
This is also to reassure myself.
"Then let's go eat quickly, they are all sitting at the table."
"Go, go."
After dinner, they were about to leave.
Ye Wan and Lin Shan didn't say much. Before leaving, they said, "I'll wait for your good news at home."
"Dad and mom, please relax at home. I will try my best to pass the exam. Just wait for the good news I bring back."
The calm and confident demeanor of this young boy makes one feel that this child will definitely become something great!
Lin Jingchen got on the carriage and leaned over the edge to wave at his family who was standing at the door.
"Goodbye, Mom and Dad!"
"goodbye!"
They stood at the door for a while and watched the carriage go by, then they all went home as it drove past the soap factory.
"My second brother has been away for so many days just for the exam. He must be so tired!"
Lin Jing'an stroked Lin Jingxuan's pigtails and said, "When he passes the examinations to become a scholar or a juren, he can become an official. He will be very successful then."
"If my second brother becomes an official, then we will also benefit from it."
At a young age, he was aware of the need to lie down and rely on his brother, thus avoiding ten years of detours.
Lin Jingan couldn't stand Lin Jingxuan's behavior. "Have you ever thought about relying on yourself to be successful?"
Lin Jingxuan didn't know why her third brother asked her this question, so she said sincerely, "Do I still need to work hard? My eldest brother Ci Ge makes money, my second brother is an official, and my third brother can always accompany my parents. There is nothing I need to work hard for."
Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon. Lin Jingan pushed Lin Jingxuan to sit on the bench, and it seemed that he was going to give her a good lecture.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Jing'an walked out of the main room with a dark face. Lin Jingxuan, who was sitting in the main room, held her chin and looked at Lin Jing'an, who was angered by her and left, with distress on her face.
Why is Third Brother so angry? Is there anything wrong with what she said?
Relying on several capable brothers in the family, when she reaches the age to get married, she will ask her parents to find her a husband who lives close to home, is honest and treats her well.
Let him work in Brother Ci's factory, and with help from his brothers from time to time, her life must be very comfortable.
If the time comes to have another child, try not to have more than one, as she won’t be able to take care of more.
When her parents get old, she will still come here every few days to take care of them and talk to them.
How does the phrase go? It means sharing the joy of family.
Lin Jingxuan not only wanted to lie down herself, but also persuaded Lin Jingan to sink with her.
If Jiang Ci heard what Lin Jingxuan said, she would applaud and give her a thumbs up, thinking that she was so foresighted.
Make him envious!
At this time, Jiang Ci had already arrived in the town, and Lin Jingsheng took two candied haws from the old man selling them.
One was handed to Lin Jingchen in the carriage, and the other was handed to Jiang Ci who was sitting next to him.
Lin Jingchen ate a candied haws and then found out that Lin Jingsheng only bought two strings. He was about to ask why he only bought two strings.
Then I saw Lin Jingsheng taking a bite of the half-eaten candied haws that Jiang Ci had eaten.
No wonder! Really scheming!
Lin Jingchen looked out the side window and bit off a whole candied haws.
I feel that the candied haws are not fragrant anymore!
Jiang Ci leaned on Lin Jingsheng's shoulder, chewing a candied haws, "The remaining one is all mine, I won't give it to you."
"it is good."
There are no more people on the road here.
Lin Jingsheng kissed off the small piece of candy that Jiang Ci had stuck to her lips, "This is still the sweetest."
Jiang Ci rolled her eyes at Lin Jingsheng, "You are so beautiful!"
Lin Jingsheng feels so beautiful!
Although the sun was out, it was still a bit cold as they walked in the wind.
Jiang Ci sat in the carriage from the village to the town and only went outside when they arrived in the town.
Jiang Ci was wearing a cloak, and Lin Jingsheng put the hat on him when they left the town.
Lin Jingsheng only wore one more thin cotton coat than usual.
"Are you cold?"
Jiang Ci's hand touched Lin Jingsheng's hand holding the reins, and her hand was warm.
Lin Jingsheng chuckled, "I touched it, now you know I'm not cold."
"Oh."
Jiang Ci reached out and touched Lin Jingsheng's ears again, and they were cold.
"It must have been blown by the wind."
Before Lin Jingsheng could speak, Jiang Ci spoke first, "Jingchen, hand me the hat on the seat."
A hand quickly emerged from behind the curtain, holding a hat.
Jiang Ci brought the hat to Lin Jingsheng and pulled it down to cover his ears. The hat could block the wind and provide some warmth, but it didn't look very good when worn on his head.
Lin Jingsheng also has the burden of being an idol.
Jiang Ci tried to comfort the man who was twisted inside, "In my heart, you are the most handsome!"
