Kuai Chuan: I don’t get along with my family’s golden finger.

The old lady was naturally very dissatisfied. However, this granddaughter-in-law had an extraordinary background. The key was that she was not affected by this palace change.

With such a natal family here, this one is not afraid of these two old men and women at all.

Her parents still loved her very much. In addition to the money and supplies they gave her at the beginning, they often sent people to deliver things to the inn at high speed.

Her father said in the letter to her that the elder of the Lin family has been bedridden for many years and does not have much time left.

Once this person dies, the Lin family will have almost no chance of making a comeback.

The Lin family didn't know about these things, but they didn't dare to do anything in the face of the granddaughter-in-law/daughter-in-law/daughter-in-law who was powerful and would give her things.

The officials were also very tired, so they had a longer lunch break.

But it was only more than half an hour longer. When the time was up, they set off again.

Now we have reached the boundary of Nanling, only three or four days away from the place of exile.

Even if they didn't encounter today's affairs, the officials would still want to get rid of these troubles as soon as possible, let alone they also encountered bandits.

In the next few days, they were all on their way.

This nearly four-day journey was completed in less than three days.

The result is that everyone is exhausted.

The leading official had a really good impression of Jiang Che. He felt that with Jiang Che's ability, even if he couldn't rehabilitate himself and return to the capital in the future, he could still accomplish something here.

So before he left, he bought a good one and introduced the official here who was responsible for handling his affairs and arranging the exile of mortals to the Lin family.

He also hinted to the official that this Lin family was a capable person and asked him to take more care of him.

This official had been dealing with exiled mortals for many years, so he naturally knew that some of them were truly capable, and he immediately became interested in the Lin family.

So there was no need to manage the forest traces, so he assigned the Lin family and several other families that had spent a lot of money to manage them to a place very close to the county seat.

Although it is also backed by a mountain, there is a large flat-topped land at the foot of the mountain, which can be used to grow crops without any problems.

Moreover, it is very close to the county seat. It only takes half a day to go there on foot. It is faster to take a carriage.

Such a good place is stared at by many people, but unfortunately it has been classified as a penal colony. Unless they want to become exiled prisoners, ordinary people cannot live here.

Jiang Che and the others were also lucky.

There are not many places like this around the county, and the previous ones were all occupied by other exiled prisoners.

Now this is the only one left.

If they had stayed later, maybe this place would have been allocated to someone else.

"Is this where we will live in the future?"

After the official left, Lin Danyue, who got off the carriage, frowned slightly as she looked at the mountain in front of her and the large field covered with weeds at the foot of the mountain.

"Yes, we will all be living here for a while." Jiang Che said, rubbing his head.

"It's a bit late today. Let's rest here for the night. Your brother and I will go to the city tomorrow to ask where we can buy stone bricks. In any case, we will build the house first."

Looking at the weeds at his feet, Lin Ji said in a deep voice.

There's really nothing here except a piece of land.

And it is winter now. Even if the south is slightly warmer than the north, it is still cold in winter.

If they hadn't built their house before winter came, they would have suffered a lot this winter.

"Don't worry, sir. I've already asked about it before. There is a quarry in the west of the city, where all the stone bricks in the city are bought." Uncle Chang came over at this time and said.

Uncle Chang is free and has a way to guide him.

So before Jiang Che and the others arrived here, he drove a carriage into the city first and asked for some useful information.

He also knew that building a house was the first priority when living here, so he first inquired about the location of the stone quarry.

"Then tomorrow, Uncle Chang, take me to the quarry to buy stone bricks. As for Jiang Yuan, he will go to the city to buy some other needed things." Lin Ji changed his previous arrangement after hearing this.

"Dad, go and talk to Uncle Yu, the Zhang family, the Li family and the other families. We all want to build houses. If they also need to buy stone bricks, we can join them." Lin Jiangyuan said.

"I'll go tell them right away." Lin Ji said and walked towards the other houses not far from them.

In addition to Jiang Che's family, there are many people who have settled down here.

Among them were their concubine uncles who had a good relationship with them in the past. As for their direct descendants, they were assigned to other places.

Of course, the several rooms in the Lin family are only part of it.

A large family such as the Yu family also lives here, in addition to the Zhang family and the Li family, plus some minor officials who were affected.

In fact, those who were exiled to Nanling were all innocent people who were affected.

The above also knew this, so after they were exiled.

I don't know if the emperor softened his heart again after seeing that Mr. Lin Ge was about to die soon. He actually added another imperial edict after they set off.

The imperial edict stated that although they were exiled, after being put here in turn, they were no different from civilians.

It is not the kind of person who is still a guilty person after being exiled, without even a road guide, and future generations are not allowed to leave the place of exile.

This is also the reason why the officials are so polite to them.

Because they are now civilians, they have all the rights as civilians, including the imperial examination.

It's just that all the previous achievements and honors have been revoked, and if you want to take the imperial examination, you have to start from scratch.

The official knew that among these exiled people, there were many young and talented people.

Among them, Lin Jiangyuan was a talented man who was once famous in the capital. If he were to take the imperial examination again, he would definitely be on the list.

Even because of the emperor's imperial edict, the examiners did not dare to suppress him.

After all, Lin Jiangyuan had already held the title of Juren before, and was the No. 1 Jieyuan candidate.

Now even the emperor allows him to retake the imperial examination. If the dignified Jie Yuan fails to pass even one scholar under them, isn't it obvious that they, the examiners, are suppressing him?

If you dare to suppress someone who even the emperor issued an imperial edict to forgive, are you not taking the imperial edict seriously?

At that time, the crime of disobeying the decree and defying the imperial power will be inevitable.

On the cusp of such a storm, those who have always been at odds with the Lin family may not dare to do so.

So after knowing about this imperial edict, almost everyone thought that Lin Jiangyuan would be the hope for the rise of the Lin family.

But no one knew that the Lin family had never thought of returning to the capital through the imperial examination. Their reliance had always been on Jiang Che.

In other words, for them, as long as Jiang Che is here, it doesn't matter when they visit the capital.

Even Lin Jiangyuan is not in a hurry to take the imperial examination.
