Chapter 415 Yang Manman is absent from duty
"Sister, I'm not young anymore, and I haven't thought through my future path. Do you think I'm useless?" Jiang Mushi stared at Jiang Suining, his tone nervous.
This was the most depressing thing in his heart during this period of time.
Whether it is taking part in the imperial examinations or taking over the Jiang family business, it seems that he should start to be independent so that he can support the Jiang family and protect his parents and elder sister in the future. But now he feels that the road ahead is endless and he has not even found the direction.
Jiang Suining met Jiang Mushi's gaze, took in his uneasiness and guilt, and smiled again.
"Jiang Mushi, you are my brother."
Jiang Mushi was stunned for a moment, "So?"
"So stop pretending to be mature. You are only a teenager. Rather than finding a way forward and standing on your own, I hope you can live a happy life and not waste this good time."
"But the others..."
"Don't think about what others are like at your age. Sometimes you can use other people's lives as a reference, but if it makes you unhappy..."
Jiang Suining curled his lips, and at this moment he lost his usual steadiness and calmness. His eyes revealed a bright spirit, and he said to Jiang Mushi with a smile.
"Then don't refer to it."
Jiang Suining has already left.
Jiang Mushi was still standing in the yard, and he seemed to be still thinking about what Jiang Suining had just said.
After a while, he laughed out loud, feeling relieved.
Fortunately, I still have my sister.
It was already late. Looking back at the room, Jiang Mushi did not go in. Instead, he walked out of the courtyard and went straight to Jiang Zhitong and Zheng's courtyard.
Jiang Suining slept very well that night.
She didn't know that while she was sleeping, Jiang Mushi had taken the initiative to find Jiang Zhitong and Zheng and confessed all his thoughts to them.
The three of them chatted for most of the night, and in the end, Jiang Zhitong and Zheng both agreed that their sons should give up the imperial examination.
Early the next morning.
As soon as Jiang Suining walked out of the yard, he saw Jiang Mushi waiting at the gate.
"Sister, I've already talked to my parents, and they agree."
Jiang Mushi's eyes were bruised from not sleeping all night, but he looked energetic.
"Sister, let me take you to the palace gate."
Jiang Suining looked at the blue color in Jiang Mushi's eyes and couldn't help but smile: "You should go back and have a good rest first."
"No, I'm not sleepy at all."
He felt so relaxed now. Although he hadn't slept all night, he didn't feel tired at all, and he wanted to chat more with his sister.
Seeing that Jiang Mushi insisted, Jiang Suining did not refuse anymore. The two of them left the house together and got on the carriage together.
On the way from Jiang's house to the palace, Jiang Mushi said a lot of things. In addition to his nervousness during this period, he also talked about the directions he wanted to try next.
When the carriage stopped at the palace gate, he still felt unsatisfied.
But of course he couldn't delay Jiang Suining's duty, so he stood behind the carriage and watched Jiang Suining walk into the palace gate.
He waited until Jiang Suining's figure disappeared before he withdrew his gaze and prepared to leave. However, as he turned around and walked out from behind the carriage, he was almost bumped into by someone.
Wei Yao did not take a carriage today, but ran all the way to the palace gate.
Because the carriage blocked her view, she did not see Jiang Mushi and just wanted to hurry into the palace.
Seeing Jiang Mushi suddenly walk out from behind the carriage, she was startled and stopped in a hurry to avoid being bumped into.
Jiang Mushi also quickly took a few steps back.
Seeing that she was dressed neither like a palace maid nor an official's wife, and that she entered the palace at this time, it was guessed that she was a female official selected together.
But seeing how hurried she was, Jiang Mushi spoke subconsciously.
"How can someone this reckless be a court lady?"
Noticing Wei Yao's unhappy look, he realized that he had said something wrong and quickly bowed to apologize.
"I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."
Wei Yao frowned, thinking about the time. Without saying a word, she walked around Jiang Mushi and hurried into the palace.
Jiang Mushi touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, looking at Wei Yao's hurried figure, but he didn't take this episode to heart.
In the palace, inside the ceremonial hall.
Wei Yao arrived before noon and finally felt relieved.
Seeing Jiang Suining already sitting down at the table, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded and greeted her.
Jiang Suining also smiled back.
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, it was still a bit hot when I ran all the way to the palace gate.
A thin layer of sweat oozed out of Wei Yao's forehead, but when she searched inside her sleeves, she found that she didn't bring a handkerchief. Just as she was frowning, a handkerchief was handed to her.
Looking up, Wei Yao saw Jiang Suining walking to her desk without her noticing, and she subconsciously refused.
"No, I..."
"Wipe it off, be careful not to catch a cold." Jiang Suining put down the handkerchief and walked back to his seat.
Wei Yao pursed her lips and looked at the handkerchief in front of her, then looked at Jiang Suining and picked it up.
"Thank you, Lord Jiang."
"You're welcome." Jiang Suining chuckled and shook his head, without asking why Wei Yao was sweating so much.
When Wei Yao saw that the other party did not ask any questions, she breathed a sigh of relief, wiped all the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and secretly adjusted her dress.
Looking at the handkerchief that was already stained with her sweat, Wei Yao hesitated for a moment and temporarily put it into her sleeve, thinking of returning it to Jiang Suining after it was washed.
The ceremonial office is divided into two rooms, east and west, where Lu Yan and He Qingrui also work.
They were slightly delayed on their way here today, but fortunately they still arrived before noon.
Lu Yan and the others first greeted Jiang Suining and Wei Yao, and when they were about to go to their room, they found that Yang Manman had not arrived yet.
"Is she late, or is she deliberately not coming?" He Qingrui's tone was full of curiosity.
"Why did you deliberately not come?" Jiang Suining asked, taking over He Qingrui's words.
"Need I say this? The scene at the palace gate yesterday was so humiliating. If I were Yang Manman, I would never go out again."
Fighting with one's own mother at the palace gate is simply unheard of. How could he have the nerve to do it?
Jiang Sui didn’t think that Yang Manman would never appear again because of this incident.
She even felt that it was just the opposite. If Yang Manman completely broke off relations with the Duke's Mansion, she would definitely try her best to secure her position as a female official so that she could be proud and not be laughed at.
However, she did not refute He Qingrui, but just smiled and said maybe.
Yang Manman's absence did not affect the few people. They quickly put the matter aside and began to concentrate on waiting for today's arrangements.
The nanny who was responsible for conveying messages for Empress Shi came and found that Yang Manman was not there. After asking a few routine questions, she went to report to Empress Shi.
Without Yang Manman's weird interference, time seemed to pass faster.
When the shift was over, Wei Yao left in a hurry again, but the difference was that when she left today, she did not forget to say goodbye to Jiang Suining.
After Jiang Suining left the palace, the Jiang family's carriage was already waiting there.
After getting on the carriage and leaving the palace gate, before we went far, we were blocked by people gathered at the door of an inn.
There was a lot of noise in the inn, and words like thief and black shop were heard from time to time.
