To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Xiang Ke still refused to accept the result.

Jiang Jing said: "You should leave."

Xiang Ke looked nervous. He really wanted to turn into a stone and stay there. He looked at Hong Yong, who was his best friend in the academy.

But Hong Yongwang avoided his gaze and looked at the list, as if looking for a gap.

It's over, completely over.

"No, you should be the one to go."

Dean Lan had already had his bag packed and returned the tuition fee. "Your family is not well off, so I won't accept the money. When you go back, you should understand the principles of life."

The man has gold at his knees.

Xiang Ke knelt on the ground, begging not to let him leave. The dean and the teachers did not say anything. This was a bet between him and Jiang Jing.

They are just witnesses and have no say in the matter.

He said, "Jiang Jing, I beg you, I was really wrong, please don't let me leave the academy, I will be a good person from now on, okay?"

"If you don't leave now, you won't be able to go home in time for lunch." Jiang Jing raised his eyelids slightly and replied indifferently.

Xiang Ke said: "Jiang Jing, you are too cruel, I beg you!"

Jiang Jing sneered. He was not cruel, but he could not forgive the person in front of him.

"Why did you beg me? Is it because you are afraid of being kicked out of the academy, rather than because you are truly repentant? There is an old saying that goes, 'You reap what you sow.' Can't you afford to play the bet you made?"

The hatred in Xiang Ke's eyes grew stronger.

He clenched his fists, picked up his bag, put the silver into his arms, and walked out of the academy. He regretted it! Why did he make this bet?

How should he face his parents when he returns?

"I will never forget..."

This day of shame.

However, Jiang Jing was a fugitive. How could he be so successful in the academy?

Jiusu put his hand on his shoulder and leaned closer, saying, "You'd better be careful with Xiang Ke. I think he hates you as much as Chen Zhao does."

Jiang Jing nodded.

"I will be careful."

Before she could say a few words, Kou Shao came and whispered, "Miss, there are a few people in our house, and they look fierce."

Jiufu.

Chang Bo served the cold-faced and stern adult in front of him with good tea and water. Of course, the adult was facing the pale and weak little girl beside him.

There will be smiling faces.

"Have some tea first. Miss will be back soon."

At this time, Qiu Shishu and Jiusu met at the gate of the mansion. He said, "Miss Jiu just came back? The person from Shengjing who delivered the imperial edict is already in the mansion. Congratulations."

He had also just received a secret letter from the prince.

Jiusu's eyes lit up.

"Is this news of the Jiang family's pardon?"

"Yes, there are even more surprises." Qiu Shishu smiled with approval, "Can I go into the mansion with Miss Jiu?"

Jiusu smiled. From now on, Ajing and his aunt could hold their heads high. She extended her hand and said, "Master Qiu, please."

As soon as you enter the main room.

Everyone was already waiting at the gate.

Yang Xu and Qiu Shishu bowed to each other, and Yang Xu smiled and said, "Jiusu, how are you?"

"I greet Lord Yang." Jiusu raised her hands and bowed deeply.

Yang Xu's smile was gradually replaced by seriousness. He took out two imperial edicts and glanced at the people kneeling on the ground.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Jiang Jinyou has received my order. Due to special reasons, I have decided to pardon the Jiang family and allow them to return to the capital with Jiusu to resume their duties."

"Criminal, please accept the order!" Jiang Jinyou took the imperial edict with trembling hands.

They served in the same court and knew each other. Even if they were not familiar with each other's personalities, they had heard a little about each other. Yang Xu knew that Jiang Jinyou was a good official.

Yang Xu took out another imperial edict.

"The Emperor, by the order of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Jiusu of Chenjia Village, Suming County, receives the order. I order you to serve as the salt transport envoy. Jiang Jing will assist in the production of fine salt. Salt officials from all regions can be transferred by Jiusu. After the new year, come to Shengjing to report!"

"I accept the order." Jiusu took the imperial edict and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Is this considered a job as an official in the imperial court? Uh, is this considered a mistake? Fortunately, she is only serving outside the court and not in the imperial palace.

She knew very little about Shengjing.

If I really go, I won't set off until I understand everything.

It was obvious at a glance that the Jiang family was able to pardon the charges because of Jiusu. Jiang Nianyin knelt on the ground, "Susu! Thank you! You saved me and gave me back my dignity!"

Jiusu quickly pulled her up and looked at the Jiang family who were showing gratitude repeatedly.

She said, "Uncle and aunt, even without me, you will return to Shengjing. We have all witnessed your and Ajing's abilities."

Jiang's father promised: "Good girl, if Jiang Jing fails you, I will break his legs."

"Then, then I will break his hands." Jiang's mother was afraid of falling behind, so she quickly promised.

Jiang Nianyin: "...I mourn in silence."

Jiusu smiled. Ah Jing was in the academy. Did he sneeze? In fact, even if she and Ah Jing didn't end up together, she hoped that Jiang Jing could be safe and happy. Dating was not a binding system. Even if they got married, they could get divorced. So breaking up was not impossible.

"What rank is this salt transport envoy?"

"You are a third-rank official!" Yang Xu said. "Miss Jiu, you are much more senior than your county magistrate. And you are the first female official in our dynasty. The honor is doubled!"

Jiusu nodded silently, the level was not low.

But the person in charge of salt will definitely be looked down upon. However, it is enough as long as his rank is higher than those incompetent county magistrates.

"Thank you..."

"Master Jiu, something happened." Fang Yu ran over in a panic. He saw Jiu Su at a glance among so many people. "General Chen went to the academy. Oh, yes, and the county magistrate. They wanted to lynch Jiang Jing on the grounds that the exiles were not allowed to take the imperial examinations and disrupt the academy! This must be Xiang Ke's doing."

Jiusu said: "The Jiang family has been pardoned by the emperor."

Fang Yu shook his head. "Master, when I came here, General Chen had already resorted to private punishment. He said he wanted to cut the tendons in Jiang Jing's hands so that he would not secretly participate in the imperial examination."

"This bastard!" Jiusu frowned and bowed, "Can I ask Lord Yang to go there with the imperial edict?"

Yang Xu looked at his daughter with a pale face and fell into a dilemma.

Qiu Shishu said, "I'll go there."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Qiu." Yang Xu clasped his fists, his eyes full of gratitude. Under the guidance of the housekeeper, he carried his daughter on his back to rest. He sighed and said, "Are you tired? I'll ask the kitchen to make medicine for you. You can have a good rest here."

Yang Caier couldn't stop coughing.

"Dad, I don't want to take medicine. I'll be fine after a short sleep. I'll take it in the evening. I saw the sister Jiusu you mentioned. She is so beautiful. Dad, I will learn from her and be strong and brave. Cai'er will get better."

"Then have a glass of water." Yang Xu brought a glass of water and watched his daughter lie down. He tucked in the quilt and then sat on the round stool. "Dad will stay here and watch over you. I'll call you when it's time to eat."

Looking at the big red lantern hanging at the door, he fell into memories. It was also a festive day, but his wife was murdered. Over the years, he has never caught the murderer.

My wife passed away and my daughter became ill.

He was exhausted.
