After the failure of ascension, he traveled to the ancient farmhouse to be a group pet

Chapter 5 The Current Situation of the Jiang Family

When Lin Xiufen saw a few children going out, she returned to the Zaohuo room and started preparing breakfast.

The third, fourth, and Dakang who didn't go home all day yesterday would probably get up early and rush home, and they would just be back when they were ready.

I don’t know why the fourth child and Dakang came back, and it wasn’t time for the White Jade College to have a vacation.

There are so many people in the family at White Jade Academy, why are they the only ones back?

Lin Xiufen was thinking about it while lighting the fire.

The head of the family and the eldest son were both drafted and sent to the northwest military camp, and a letter was sent home every three months.

The eldest daughter-in-law was born in a general family and was hired by Baiyushi Academy to be the martial arts master of the women's academy. She also took care of Ershi and Sanlei who were also studying at Baiyushi Academy.

The second child in the family is now working as a escort in a bodyguard agency in Fucheng. She has driven the second daughter-in-law to live with the second child in Fucheng and take care of Dakang, who is studying at Baiyushi Academy.

The third child farmed at home and did some carpentry and masonry. There was no other way. Even if he was beaten with a bamboo stick, he would not hold the book. He only liked grinding a stick or chopping a strip. He liked everything except reading.

The fourth brother is the only one among the four brothers who is talented and can calm down to study. He is already a scholar who has passed the academician. Now he is teaching and preparing for the exam at Baiyushi Academy in Fucheng, waiting to take the provincial examination in August this year. .

The second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law were married when they were still in the capital. The second daughter-in-law's natal family was in business, and the third daughter-in-law's natal family was an official. They were both famous and wealthy families in the capital. .

Later, something unexpected happened. Their family wanted to change their surname to Jiang and return to Guangyuefu City to become farmers. They originally wanted to go to the homes of the second and third daughters-in-law and beg them to break off the engagement without delaying their search for a good husband. But who wanted the second daughter-in-law? The family of the third daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law were all in danger because they were implicated in the crown prince usurpation case that year.

It was important to save one's life. I didn't dislike anyone, so I had no choice but to get married in a hurry. After getting married, I came back to Baiyang Village and stayed there for 12 years.

The daughter-in-law they told the fourth child was the only daughter of a merchant they met after they came back to Guanglefu. The in-laws left the second year after the fourth daughter-in-law got married.

Now the third daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter-in-law are both guaranteed by the eldest daughter-in-law. In Baiyushi Academy, one is the literature teacher of the women's college and the other is the arithmetic teacher.

All the grandchildren in the family were born in Baiyang Village. Except for Dakang, the eldest grandson, who knew the connection between the family and the capital, the rest of the grandchildren did not know.

The boss's two grandsons are ten-year-old Jiang Ershi and nine-year-old Jiang Sanlei.

The second child has three children, 11-year-old Jiang Dakang, [-]-year-old Jiang Liuzhuang, and [-]-year-old Jiang Chacha.

The third family has four boys. Jiang Sishan is nine years old, Jiang Qiyang is eight years old, Jiang Balin is seven years old, and Jiang Shiyuan is five years old.

There are two boys in the fourth family, Jiang Wuhang is eight years old and Jiang Jiuan is six years old.

In the Tiansheng Dynasty, seven years old is a hurdle for children, and nine years old is another hurdle. Children can enter primary schools at seven years old, and enter academies at nine years old. They can learn literature and martial arts, both boys and girls.

Then there is another hurdle for boys when they are 13 years old. They can decide when to take the exam according to the instructions of their elders. The official college literary exam is to take the government exam - college exam - provincial exam - conference exam - palace exam slowly. If you pass the academy examination and become a scholar, you will have the opportunity to study in an official academy.

Today, the most famous official academies of the Tiansheng Dynasty are the east, west, and south, one each, the Rudong Academy in the east, the Xiying Academy in the west, the Hannan Academy in the south, the Xinbei Academy in the north, and the Imperial Academy in the middle. They are not necessary, but everyone is flocking to them. After all, it is a ready-made shortcut.

The martial arts examination is jointly supervised by the official academies and Jianghu sects. Each sect selects the students it values ​​​​to be included in the sect. The official academies can also select good young people to enter the academies to practice martial arts. Generally, students who enter official academies usually end up After passing the examination, they will enter the two main halls of Shenyin Hall or Shenqi Hall, and they will only listen to the personal deployment of successive emperors.

Similarly, Jianghu sects also have five sects divided into east, west, south, north, and middle, but Lin Xiufen doesn't pay attention to these, so she doesn't know which five sects they are.

Nowadays, the children in the family are both learning literacy and practicing martial arts to strengthen their bodies, but relatively speaking, they have different priorities. Lin Xiufen only knows that Dakang is as talented as his fourth uncle and can study hard with books.

Ershi and Sanlei also followed their parents, who were very interested in learning martial arts and had talents. Each one was stronger than the other.

Si Shan also studied literature. Although his talent was not as good as that of Lao Si and Dakang, according to what Lao Si said, compared with those boys in the academy, Si Shan was also among the best, which was true at all.

These four grandsons who are over nine years old are currently studying at Baiyushi Academy in Fucheng, and they have three days off at the end of every month.

As for the five, six, seven and eight children below, they all learned how to read at Yan Daxue Hall in the county town and went home for one day every six days.

When Lin Xiufen thought about this, she began to wonder. Today is the tenth day of March, so why are both the fourth child and Dakang back?

As I was thinking about it, I heard a voice coming from outside the courtyard gate. It sounded like the loud voice of the third child.

Lin Xiufen came out of the kitchen, leaned out, and saw the third child Jiang Wenyan and the fourth child Jiang Wenyuan coming in from the courtyard gate. The third child and the fourth child were carrying two packages on their shoulders. They were the fourth child and Dakang who were going to the academy. A package that I often carry when traveling.

"Eh? Why are you two back?" Lin Xiufen was impatient, so she couldn't hold it in and went directly to ask Jiang Wenyuan and Jiang Dakang.

"Mom, tell us to go to the main room first." Jiang Wenyuan knew my mother's temperament and didn't hide it. When he got to the main room, he sat down and drank a cup of water before explaining the reason for his return.

"We came back this time, firstly, because we received a letter from my father and eldest brother from the army. My second brother asked me to come back and tell you that my father and eldest brother are both well in the northwest. Secondly, there are two pieces of good news - "

Jiang Wenyuan deliberately concealed what his father and elder brother said in the letter that the Northwestern Tatars were back and wanted to start a new war. Jiang Wenyuan specifically did not take out the letter. He only reported it verbally, then changed the topic and only said half of it before hanging his mother away. thoughts.

"What's the good news?" Although Lin Xiufen felt strange in her heart, she thought that her sons were already old, so she didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so she just asked casually without thinking too much.

"Nai, where is my sister? Why haven't I seen my sister? Xiao Jiu and Xiao Ten are not here either?"

Jiang Dakang, the leader of the sister control group, went directly to the side room. He was wondering if his sister was still lying in bed, so he was ready to take the happy thing of waking her up from his own hands. However, after searching around, he didn't see his sister. little figure.

Just as Lin Xiufen was about to answer, she heard her eldest grandson shouting loudly from outside:

"Sister! What's wrong with you, sister! Don't scare brother! Who are you? Why are you holding my sister?"

Lin Xiufen stood up quickly and ran out of the yard.

Jiang Wenyan and Jiang Wenyuan also followed hurriedly.

When I arrived at the door of the hall, I saw my obedient little niece being held motionless by a boy of about eight or nine years old.
