Chapter 145 Thinking of Mother Before Getting Married

What Old Lady Wang said was what everyone else wanted to say. The Marquis and his wife wiped the tears from their eyes. When they looked at Jiang Shihui, they felt a sense of pride in seeing their own child become a successful person. On the contrary, her cousin Wang Su and cousin-in-law Xiang were relatively calm.

Seeing that the elders were wiping their tears, Wang Su stepped forward and spoke to Jiang Shihui.

"Cousin Changyi, I have prepared a lot of things in the study room that I used when I was preparing for the exam. I will have someone take you to have a look later. If it helps, that would be great."

Although he seemed serious, what he said shocked both the Jiang family father and son.

You have to know that Wang Su's performance in those days was very outstanding, otherwise he would not have been able to reach his current position at such a young age. He is aiming to be the Minister of the Chancellery in the future, so with his help, Jiang Shihui will surely make greater progress. Therefore, Jiang Huaishan also clasped his fists and replied to Wang Su specifically.

"Thank you, nephew."

"Uncle, you're too polite. We're all family. When I help my cousin, I'm also helping myself."

This is absolutely true. The Wang family served as officials in the court, and so did the Jiang family.

If in-laws like them can help each other and move forward, then their future will naturally be limitless. Besides, cousin Changyi is my aunt's only son, so it is natural for him to help.

My cousin's wife Xiang has finished her confinement after childbirth, but it is not time for her to meet outsiders yet. If my uncle and cousin had not come to visit today, she would not have come out to meet the guests. She waved her hand, and the maid Dan Xing behind her brought up a lacquer tray with a delicate and small purse on it, and then she said.

"This is a lucky bag made by my mother's family for candidates. All the children in the family wear it. Although it has not been blessed in the temple, the children have all passed the imperial examinations. I also gave it to your eldest cousin back then, and he also got what he wanted. So I specially give it to you today, hoping that you can get what you want, and that the Jiang family can have another disciple of the emperor!"

The gifts are delivered in front of the whole family and no one will question anything.

Jiang Shihui took the blessing bag respectfully and bowed to his cousin-in-law Xiang.

"Thank you, cousin. I will try my best."

Old Lady Wang was always happy to see such scenes, so she led him to meet the gentleman next to him. The gentleman had an immortal look and was obviously an extraordinary person who had detached from the world. Jiang Shihui immediately straightened his clothes and saluted the gentleman.

"My student Jiang Shihui is honored to meet you, sir."

"Stand up, Mr. Jiang, there is no need to be so polite. I am here to help read a few articles at the invitation of the Marquis' Mansion, so I cannot be considered your teacher. If you pass the exam, the credit still belongs to the academy, and I dare not take credit for it."

Jiang Shihui has been studying for more than ten years since he started his enlightenment at the age of four, all in the academy, so what the teacher said is true!
At that moment, someone nearby suddenly opened his mouth and said with a smile.

"Brother Changyi, you have to work harder. I've been working hard for several months now and I'm eager to try!"

The person who said this was Wang An, the fourth young master of Marquis Wenyuan's mansion.

He had the same temperament as his second brother, also quite arrogant, so when Mrs. Pei heard this, she couldn't help but scold him twice.

"You've only studied for a few days and you're already talking nonsense like that. I don't know where you got the nerve to do that! Aren't you afraid that you'll cry if you fail the exam?" Wang An was still young, and even if he failed the exam, his family wouldn't think it was a big deal.

Therefore, when this was said, no one felt that there was anything inappropriate about it. Instead, Wang An just said it with a smile.

"Don't worry, mother. I won't cry even if I fail. This is nothing. I am old enough to be able to take the imperial examination and be a top candidate. Even the teacher said that I have a chance. Maybe I can even bring more glory to our mansion. It will also be great for grandmother and you to be awarded an imperial decree for your son's ability. That would be amazing."

Hearing what her youngest son said, Mrs. Pei couldn't stop smiling. She herself was a flamboyant person, so seeing her son so confident, she didn't discourage him, but instead encouraged him.

"Okay, then mother will wait and see what you can do. If you can really help mother regain her imperial title, then I will not have raised you in vain."

Pei's words made everyone laugh. After lunch, Jiang Huaishan left the mansion, while Jiang Shihui began to study seriously with his teacher and cousin Wang An.

Wang An had not spent much time with his cousin Chang Yi before, so he didn’t know that his cousin had such a solid foundation!

Many times, whenever the teacher mentioned something, he could respond fluently. On the other hand, although he was somewhat smart, he was too old and had not studied for long enough. So after getting embarrassed three or five times, he dared not boast anymore. Instead, he told himself to guard against arrogance and keep working harder!
Once you start learning, the time goes by very quickly.

Before I knew it, it was the night of October 7th.

Tomorrow is the day Jiang Shiyuan is going to get married. At this moment, she is sitting quietly by the window, looking at the moonlight outside. It is as bright as a fairy, clear and peaceful, just like her state of mind at the moment.

When the maid Liuhua walked in, she happened to see this scene, and walked forward and said with a smile.

"Go to bed, young lady. We have to get up early tomorrow to dress up. Even if you go to bed now, you won't be able to sleep for many hours. If outsiders see the black eye, I'm afraid they will gossip about it."

"If a married girl has dark circles under her eyes, doesn't that just mean she can't bear to leave her home? Who can gossip? Besides, I really don't plan to sleep. Liuhua, I miss my mother a little. At this time, if my mother can be by my side, wouldn't I be the happiest bride in the world?"

There was some sadness in Jiang Shiyuan's tone. Hearing some sorrow in his girl's words, Liuhua stepped forward and pressed her shoulders, speaking as he did so.

"Miss, although the Madam is gone, I believe she is watching you from heaven. If you are happy, the Madam will be happy too!"

"really?"

"Of course it's true! When I was young, I heard that if someone around you dies, they will turn into stars, clouds, and sunshine in the sky and stay by your side. So every gust of wind you've felt, every drop of rain you've felt, and every sun block you've seen may have traces of Madam. You will always be Madam's most concerned daughter, there is no doubt about that."

Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this, and his longing for his mother reached its peak at this moment.

If possible, she would rather be reborn as a child, so that she might be able to change her mother's fate, but she also knew that this was just a fantasy, so no matter how much longing and grievances she had in her heart, she could only release them at this moment.

Fortunately, Liuhua was with her, just like every night.

So with her comfort, Jiang Shiyuan slowly fell asleep.
