Chapter 210: Keep a low profile and bide your time (1st update)
Jiang Zhiluo was not surprised at all.
Jiang Zhiluo could also feel from Jian Yunyin's few words before that Jian Yunyin's eldest brother Jian Yunci was a smart man.
Jian Yunyin looked at Jiang Zhiluo's expression and said, "Zhiluo, why are you not surprised at all?"
Looking at Jiang Zhiluo's expression, she felt that everything was just as she had guessed, so calm and calm.
But even she could never have imagined that her eldest brother's classmates would harm him, and that there would be such a relationship behind it.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "It's not that it's strange, but based on the information you provided, the only one who can doubt him is him."
“But according to his situation, he should flatter your brother instead of harming your brother.”
"If he has a motive, we can only attack him. When his father died, his mother disappeared. If he was alive, there should be a connection. You don't know about it at all. This is a problem."
Jiang Zhiluo can only say this, it cannot be said that she dreamed about the scholar and the coachman who conspired to murder Jian Yunci.
Jian Yunyin admired Jiang Zhiluo even more, "Zhiluo, you are really amazing. I wish I were as smart as you."
Jiang Zhiluo touched Jian Yunyin's hair and said, "Don't think too much."
“My brother thinks you are very smart, and he also said that he would let me have more contact with you after the matter is resolved.”
Jian Yunyin smiled as she spoke.
She felt that her brother saying good things about Zhi Luo made her happier than praising her.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't ask what happened next, but Jian Yunyin wanted to tell Jiang Zhiluo, "He Muqiang's mother was pretty and scheming. She entered Qingzhou and worked with a steward in the prefect's office. The prefect was a Jinshi in the same discipline as my father in the early years, but For some reasons, he has a grudge against my father..."
Jiang Zhiluo said: "So he used his status to put pressure on the superiors to prevent your father from getting promoted, but he didn't want to kill your eldest brother."
Jian Yunyin clenched her hands into fists and said angrily: "This man is just a villain. He has taken corruption and bribes, and even used disaster relief food. But because there are people above him, no one can touch him, let alone my father."
“My father didn’t want to join those people, so he became a county magistrate. But he was suppressed because he didn’t care. It was not easy for my father to be a county magistrate.”
"Other county magistrates have connections, and it's easy to get promoted through the three-year performance appraisal, and some funds for building embankments and walls can be allocated from the higher authorities, but it's very difficult for our county. My father wrote letters and went to find them in person. The officials above are useless.”
“Every year when I go to the top to report on my performance during my performance appraisal, I will be made things difficult for me, and I will be placed in the shabbiest house…”
“My father didn’t say this, but when I was a kid, I wanted to go outside and take a look. My father took me and my brother there, and I realized how difficult it was for my father.”
She has known about her father's difficulties since she was a child.
Her father can only do everything by himself, but no matter how capable his father is, sometimes he feels powerless.
So she always told herself to be sensible and not to cause trouble to her parents and eldest brother.
Her eldest brother has worked hard since he was a child in school, and even helped his father handle some political affairs.
Her father's hope lies in his eldest brother. He hopes that her eldest brother can pass the exam and not be suppressed or burdened by him.
After listening to this, Jiang Zhiluo could get a glimpse of the current situation in the officialdom of the court. The water was very deep and dark.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "There is a war outside now. It's actually quite good for you, your parents, and your eldest brother to stay well in the county."
Jiang Zhiluo thought to herself that if the dynasty changes and a wise emperor ascends the throne, it will not be too late to take the scientific examination.
Her parents both have some understanding of the current situation and do not allow her younger brothers to study and take exams.
Jian Yunyin nodded and said, "Well, Zhiluo, you are right. As long as the family stays together, there is nothing to fear."
“My dad also said that there is a war outside, so let my eldest brother settle down first. My eldest brother is also practicing writing with his left hand.”
A flash of light flashed across Jiang Zhiluo's eyes, and she always felt that Jian Yunyin's eldest brother was a talent.
"Your elder brother can change his mentality." Jian Yunyin lowered his voice and whispered in Jiang Zhiluo's ear: "My elder brother was sad at first, but he cheered up quickly. However, my elder brother said that sometimes it is okay to show weakness to others. To paralyze the enemy, you must learn to hide your strength and bide your time.”
Jiang Zhiluo's eyes showed admiration, and she couldn't help but think of Jian Yunci who was weak that day. That look would really paralyze the enemy.
“Have your enemies been dealt with?”
Jian Yunyin nodded and said: "Well, the coachman Ding Changzhu was dealt with, He Muqiang's mother died, He Muqiang fell off the carriage and broke his leg. As for other things, my elder brother didn't tell me."
“By the way, your eldest brother’s body…”
Jian Yunyin's eyes turned red, "My eldest brother's health is still the same, and he doesn't get better after taking medicine. He still has chills. I know that my eldest brother pretends to be fine in front of my parents and me."
“But I know that he always has trouble sleeping, and he is getting thinner and thinner.”
“Zhiluo, I believe in your medical skills. Can you help my brother take a look?”
Jian Yunyin looked at her with trusting and pleading eyes.
That is a look of firm and unreserved trust.
Looking at her with such eyes, Jiang Zhiluo's heart was slightly touched and she said, "Then you have to make your elder brother willing to trust my medical skills and let me check my pulse."
Jian Yunyin hurriedly said: "Of course my eldest brother trusts me. My health has obviously improved. The doctor found it incredible after seeing it. Of course my eldest brother and my parents trust me, but they have repeatedly told me that the previous enemies have not been resolved, so they cannot involve you."
Jiang Zhiluo was slightly touched.
“Don’t worry, your brother will be fine.”
With the wood power, she can also help heal Jian Yunci's hand.
Jian Yunyin was so happy that she wished she could hold Jiang Zhiluo and cry.
“Zhiluo, you are so kind.”
Jian Yunyin didn't know why, but she felt a convincing sense of security in front of Jiang Zhiluo.
All her emotions and thoughts can be exposed in front of her.
Jiang Zhiluo patted her back and comforted her for a while.
Soon the carriage arrived at the county government office.
Jian Yunyin took Jiang Zhiluo into the living room and asked someone to notify her mother and her eldest brother.
“My father should be dealing with things outside right now, and he will probably come back very late. My mother and eldest brother are here.”
Jiang Zhiluo nodded.
Jian Yunyin personally poured tea and snacks for Jiang Zhiluo.
“Yunyin, don’t bother, just sit down for a while.”
Jian Yunyin said: "It's okay, I don't find it troublesome."
“Since my eldest brother’s accident, I spent a lot of money, and the manpower in the house has been reduced by half. Now I only have one maid by my side.”
Jian Yunyin was afraid that Jiang Zhiluo would mind, so she explained.
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said she didn't mind. She didn't have any maids at home either.
She comforted Jian Yunyin and said: "Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance has benefited him." Nothing can be done.”
At this moment, a clear voice sounded, "The girl is so talented!"
