Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

At night, it gets a little cool.

A light drizzle began to fall in Jiangzhou City.

Jiang Zijin hates rain.

She fell seriously ill after getting caught in the rain in Taoxi Village.

I'm still feeling a bit weak.

Later, the three of them bought a house in Jiangzhou, because it was a done deal that Jiang Zipei would be admitted to Donglin Academy.

Having learned from past mistakes and wasted a lot of money, her mother did not buy a large house this time.

He only built a small two-courtyard house in Wuyi Lane in Jiangzhou.

It is said that Wuyi Lane was the residence of local high-ranking officials and nobles.

It is called Wuyi Lane because in ancient times, powerful and wealthy families migrated south and lived in this area.

At that time, nobles and wealthy families often wore black as a sign of status, and over time, black became a symbol of power and wealth.

This place was then named Wuyi Lane.

Even today, Wuyi Lane remains a residence for the powerful and wealthy.

The Cui family now owns many businesses here.

Jiang Zijin's family didn't want to be high-profile, but they also didn't want to move elsewhere, especially since this place was close to Donglin Academy.

So they settled down there.

In the study, Mother is currently urging her younger brother to study.

“Pei’er, you have to prove yourself! You must pass the prefectural examination next year. Look at Jiang Ziyan, he’s the same age as you. He passed the prefectural examination last year. If he passes the provincial examination next year, he will be a Xiucai. You can’t lose to him.”

Qi Caiwei kept nagging in front of her son.

She was anxious because her son had only passed the county examination this spring and was just a little short of passing the prefectural examination to become a student.

Just a little bit.

It must have been affected by her husband's demotion.

It must be.

Seeing her mother's anxious look, Jiang Zipei scratched her head.

Before I knew it, I had pulled out a few strands of hair.

If things continue like this, won't he become bald by the time he passes the provincial examination...?

Fortunately, I put the book down and stopped reading!

“Mother, can you please stop comparing me to my second brother? He’s just like Father, a natural scholar. Back in the Imperial Academy, the teachers always praised him. Even my eldest brother only passed the prefectural examination last year. I don’t have his ability…”

Before he could finish speaking, he got a big slap on the head.

"You good-for-nothing! If you want to slack off, just say so. You're both your father's son, you both have one head and two hands, so what makes you any worse than Jiang Ziyan? What makes you any worse?"

My father was a third-place scholar in the imperial examinations, and the Qi family had been a distinguished family for generations, a scholarly and illustrious lineage.

The gentleman is also a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations).

How could their children be any worse?

Unfortunately, Lu Qingyao, a member of the Lu family and a soldier, was also a burly man, and she even gave birth to someone like Jiang Ziyan.

How could she not be angry!

Qi Caiwei gritted her teeth.

Everything else surpasses Lu Qingyao, but her son is utterly useless, acting like a dead pig that doesn't care about boiling water.

She was so angry!

"Mother, please don't pressure my brother. He... he might just not be cut out for studying..."

Although I don't want to say anything that would hurt her mother's feelings, that's just how it is.

So as not to let her mother continue to waste her energy on her younger brother.

Unexpectedly, she was rebuffed by her mother's few words.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Look at your father and your maternal grandfather. Pei'er has their blood flowing through her veins. How come she's not cut out for studying?"

He's just being playful, and that's probably why he's neglecting his studies. A little pressure will fix it.

“Mother, even the nine sons of the dragon are all different, let alone humans…”

"Alright, stop boosting others' morale and belittling our own!" Qi Caiwei really didn't like hearing such words.

Her Pei'er is exceptionally talented, but a bit lazy. How could she let Jiang Ziyan outdo her!

Jiang Zijin wisely kept quiet.

No one could match her younger brother's place in her mother's heart, so she had no choice but to let him be.

Only after hitting a wall do people realize they need to turn back.

In his previous life, his younger brother, no matter how hard he tried, never became a scholar until he was twenty-five or twenty-six.

In the end, it was only because of her elder sister, the Empress, that he obtained a minor official position.

The most important thing right now is to find a way to return to the capital.

"Mother, have Father and Grandfather written to us? When can we return to the capital?"

Upon hearing the words "return to the capital," Qi Caiwei slumped onto the couch, feeling utterly dejected.

He took two letters out of the box and handed them to his daughter.

"You can read the letters from your father and maternal grandfather yourself."

Jiang Zijin took the letter and unfolded it.

A smile appeared on his face. "Mother, Grandfather said the matter with the Tao family has been resolved, so you don't need to worry anymore..."

Qi Caiwei couldn't laugh at all.

She was furious and felt incredibly wronged ever since she received the letter that afternoon.

"Jin'er, look down..."

Jiang Zijin understood and looked down, her smile immediately freezing on her face.

"Mother, how come Grandfather was also impeached by the censor? How did the matter of Qing Shi Town reach the censor's ears?"

"Is it Lu Qingyao? She's a convicted criminal, how could those censors believe her?"

Seeing her mother's dark face and downcast eyes, she looked at Aunt Mei and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mei Gu said awkwardly, "Third Miss, I reckon it's the Cui family. Grand Tutor Cui sent a letter to the censors, and the head of the family and Minister Qi were both impeached by the censors and even reprimanded by the Emperor..."

Qi Caiwei slammed her hand on the table, furious. "That old man has retired to his hometown, yet he still loves to meddle in other people's business!"

Jiang Zijin looked at Aunt Mei with a sullen face, "Continue, how were my father and maternal grandfather impeached?"

Even Anita Mui was a little intimidated by the little boy's imposing presence.

At this moment, the third young lady gave off a sense of majesty.

She swallowed hard, glanced at Qi Caiwei, and replied, "The Censor accused the Minister of failing to properly educate his daughter and the head of the family of lax discipline, and has charged the Madam with two crimes... disrespecting elders, being rebellious, allowing servants to beat elders of the clan, and... being arrogant and domineering, forcibly breaking into a private residence..."

Qi Caiwei's face was pale, and she clenched her molars tightly.

Jiang Zijin's complexion wasn't much better. Her already weak body couldn't stand up anymore, and she collapsed onto the armchair.

The letter fell from his hand to the ground, and he muttered, "How could this happen?"

From the very beginning, she felt that her mother was too impulsive, especially her actions at the entrance of the Cui residence, which not only offended the old tutor but also caused her to lose face.

With her birth mother tainted, how could she possibly maintain her position as empress?

The angrier she got, the stern-faced she said, "Mother, it's all your fault! It's all your fault for acting impulsively, which gave them leverage against us. What am I and my brother supposed to do now? Can we ever go back to the capital?"

When Qi Caiwei heard that her daughter was also blaming her, she couldn't hold back her tears and they streamed down her face.

He accused Jiang Zijin, "It's my fault! You all blame me, your father blames me, your maternal grandparents blame me too. Do you think I wanted this?"

"Isn't it all for you two siblings, to make you legitimate sons and daughters? If Pei'er fails the imperial examinations and there's no title for him to inherit, what can he do in the future? Just sit around and do nothing?"

"And you, a concubine's daughter, do you think any noble family would want you as their principal wife? You'll either be someone's concubine or marry a poor scholar..."

"Like Mother? To become Father's concubine..."

Pa~~

Before Jiang Zijin could finish speaking, she received a slap on the cheek.

After I came to my senses, I realized what I had said.

Qi Caiwei was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and she almost fainted.

Is this really her biological daughter? They must be sworn enemies!

Jiang Zijin knelt before her mother, her face flushed.

"Mother, I was wrong! I didn't mean to."

So angry!

She was destined to be an empress, so why has she ended up like this, unable to even return to the capital?

And how did he meet King Jing?

Speaking of Prince Jing, she met him at the Lantern Festival two years later, when he was still Prince Jing.

The year she came of age, Prince Jing became the crown prince...

No, she can't be trapped here.

"Mother, let's go back to the capital and ask Father and Grandfather for forgiveness."

Qi Caiwei reached out and touched her daughter's red cheek, feeling a pang of regret.

He pulled her up.

"Jin'er, did it hurt? Mother didn't mean it. Mother just didn't want you to follow in my footsteps..."

"Actually, I didn't marry your father willingly back then. Unfortunately, I lost my reputation in his eyes. Otherwise, given my mother's position in my father's heart and his love for me, how could he have allowed me to become someone else's concubine?"

Jiang Zijin was taken aback.

Was her mother forced to marry her father?
