Chapter 17 Powerful Acting Skills(1/2)
As soon as Jiang Jin entered the house, he saw Jiang Lin standing guard at the door with a worried look on his face.
There was still a lot of noise outside the yard, which was disturbing.
She feels a little guilty.
Grandma shouldn't be worried.
"Brother Jin, just be okay."
Jiang Lin's gentle voice suppressed the anxiety rising in Jiang Jin's heart.
"Aniang..." Jiang Jin said tentatively, "I gave all the money away, will you blame me?"
"What do I blame you for?" Jiang Lin gave her an angry look, "In the face of human life, what does silver mean?"
She squeezed Jiang Jin's hand and patted it gently to comfort her, "And I always feel that this child didn't do this."
"A mute cannot tell the pain even if he eats Coptis chinensis."
Jiang Jin pursed his lower lip and felt sad when he thought of Qingye's chapped mouth.
"It's true that he didn't do it. He is Jiang Wei's scapegoat."
"He is a pitiful person."
Mother and daughter walked to the stove one after another, sat down on the couch and talked quietly.
Jiang Jin did not hide anything from Jiang Lin.
She told Jiang Lin all her concerns and speculations, and Jiang Lin agreed.
They are in a difficult situation now, so it's always right to be careful.
She also didn't want to lose her grandma again.
Seeing her mother-in-law talking and doing embroidery work very skillfully, Jiang Jin couldn't laugh anymore.
I'm afraid the money left at home won't last this month.
If you want money quickly...
Jiang Jin struggled for a while, but finally gave up the idea of gambling.
The casino is full of smoke and a mixture of good and bad, so it is not a good place.
Furthermore, nine times out of ten you will lose.
Although she is a good card player, she has always given face to the casino and controlled her winnings and losses.
Even if you are proficient in arithmetic and have a green mountain to protect you, there is no guarantee that you will win a lot of money and come out of the casino alive.
She still has to be down-to-earth.
Just take it slow.
But she couldn't figure out what exactly she could do.
The small businesses I usually do are all hard-earned money.
After picking and choosing, Jiang Jin could not find a project that could become bigger and stronger.
She glanced at the snacks made by grandma on the table, and finally decided to go out and take a look.
"Auntie, I want to go out."
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Lin's hand holding the needle paused for a moment, and then accidentally pricked her finger while passing through the cloth.
Jiang Jin was so frightened that she immediately reached for her hand, but Jiang Linshi dodged her.
"Auntie can support you."
"Aniang?"
The sudden words left Jiang Jin at a loss as to what to say.
"Do you want to go to the gambling house again?"
Jiang Lin simply put down the things in his hands, his expression was more serious than ever before, "You want to study, how can you stay in a gambling house every day?"
The tips of Jiang Jin's ears couldn't help but turn red.
"Auntie, I don't have one."
God swears, she just had an idea for a moment, and she was caught by A Niang...
"Can you hide it from me?"
Jiang Lin felt so helpless that she stretched out her hand and grabbed Jiang Jin's little ears. Jiang Jin was so frightened that she quickly covered her ears and hid behind her.
"Really not!"
"No?" Jiang Lin's voice was full of sullenness as he gritted his teeth, "Then what do you want to do?"
"I just want to go down the street and see if there are any pastries that are as delicious as my grandma's."
Jiang Jin suddenly confided, but there was really nothing to hide from Jiang Lin.
"You." Mrs. Jiang Lin nodded at her a few times, "You were the one who said you wanted to study. How many times have you read the book so far?"
"There have been a lot of recent events, but you mustn't let it affect you."
"Aniang can take good care of herself and you."
"Believe me, grandma."
Jiang Lin's tone softened at the end.
She knew that Jiang Jin had to be strong since he was a child.
The purpose of returning to the master's house was to protect Jiang Jin. As for the future of the imperial examination, this was fatal to Jiang Jin who was disguised as a man.
But since the child has said that he wants to take the imperial examination, she, as a mother, is naturally willing to fulfill her wish.
Even if you blind your eyes, tie your hands into a sieve, and risk your life, you can still deliver her.
"My child naturally believes in grandma."
Jiang Jin also felt a little guilty.
She knew that her mother-in-law was doing it for her own good, but in this life, she just wanted her mother-in-law to not be so tired and live in peace.
In the future, she will use her skills to earn a living for her mother!
"Boy, I listen to you, go and study now."
Jiang Jin immediately stood up and filled up the lamp oil, "It's dark in the room, don't hurt your eyes."
Jiang Lin nodded, her moist eyes no longer looked at Jiang Jin, "Go quickly."
…
After leaving the door, Jiang Jin exhaled a breath of thick air.
Grandma’s good deeds must be accepted by her.
However, before studying, she had to act in a play.
She looked up and saw that it was still early, so she tied her cloak tightly and went straight to the back of the courtyard where the servants lived.
The road leading to the servants' room is also smooth, but it is much more desolate than the road leading to the main courtyard.
There is no scenery in the yard, so it is considered to be clean and tidy.
Familiarly, she reached for the corner door of the wing and got in.
Not far away is a small thatched house, which is a warehouse for tools, but it is also a place for the servants to be lazy.
Sure enough, when I opened the door, I saw a few boys playing happily playing cards.
The boys were stunned and hurriedly hid the cards behind their backs, and said with trembling smiles, "Master Jin, why are you here?"
"Kuri is dirty, what's the matter? Let's go out and talk about it?"
Jiang Jin didn't say anything. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and sat down directly, "I came to play cards with you."
"Playing cards, what playing cards?" The boys looked at each other and communicated with their mouths open but did not dare to make a sound.
"We're just here to get tools."
"Yeah?"
Jiang Jin was too lazy to talk nonsense. This was where she first came into contact with playing cards.
Later, as she grew older and Jiang Wei took charge of the Jiang Mansion, she did not want to stay in the mansion any longer and ran out to play.
She reached out and lifted up the mat, revealing the cards, and urged impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and play a few games with the young master."
Jiang Jin directly pulled the boy who was closest to him and said, "Shuffle the cards!"
Then he muttered impatiently, "If my mother-in-law hadn't stopped me from going out, Master, I wouldn't have come here."
Boys, look at me and I look at you.
