Chapter 580: Doting On Her Son
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Of course, the brocade bag that Ah Yu bought was not only for the examinees. For example, her Eldest Brother was not taking the exam anymore, but she had bought one for everyone in the family. She felt that Eldest Brother should have one too. As for her nephew, that was not something All Yu wanted to care about.
She bought the brocade bags and continued in to ask for talismans. As the big sister had said, when they pa.s.sed by the praying women, they could vaguely hear them muttering, “1 hope that my son will pa.s.s. We will definitely come back to the temple to offer more incense.”
Ah Yu held a silver ingot in her hand and was eager to try. “Big Brother Ah You, I’ll go and pray one for you too. When you become the top scholar, I’ll come and repay Lord Civil Star with more incense.”
This time, in order not to cause trouble, Ah Yu lowered her voice.
Qin Huai was helpless. “Why don’t you pray to me to be more serious in the examination hall? Then things will be more stable.”
Ah Yu said solemnly, “Big Brother All You, although 1 really trust you, there’s an old saying that goes, ‘If you’re too full, you’ll suffer a loss’. You can’t be so confident in yourself from the beginning. You need to have some anxiety and think what if you don’t pa.s.s the exam? Thinking like this, you’ll be more serious during the exam. I’ll ask for a safety talisman for you to ensure that you’ll be calm during the exam and not let your imagination run wild. That’s multiple guarantees. There won’t be any mistakes.”
“I’ll listen to you.” What else could Qin Huai say?
After buying the talismans, they also bought one for w.a.n.g Chuangui. As for her brothers at home, Ah Yu thought that perhaps they would also become successful candidates and come to Wanning City to take the imperial examination in the future. So she bought two more talismans for them.
After leaving the Civil Star Temple, they strolled around for a while and bought some trinkets before returning to the house.
When they reached the door, they met Old Madam w.a.n.g, who was getting someone to move her things.
“Grandma, where are we moving to? Aren’t we going to live here?” All Yu asked.
Old Madam w.a.n.g: “It’s so small. How can it be lived in? Let your Second Uncle live here. We’ll go to another house.”
Ah Yu said, “Do we have any other houses on Three Thoughts Street?”
“Of course. Let’s go. Grandma will bring you to take a look. If you don’t like it, we’ll buy another one.” Old Madam w.a.n.g was clearly in a good mood. It was unknown what she had chatted with Grandpa Jiang about, but she looked like she was in a good mood.
Ah Yu thought to herself that Grandma must have earned something again this time.
When they arrived at the courtyard, they realized that it looked like someone had lived there before. However, they seemed to have moved away in a hurry. The things inside were still very new and there were only slight traces of use. “This is the new house that your Grandpa Jiang gave us. Ah Yu, do you like it?” Old Madam w.a.n.g’s gaze was very picky. “Look, it’s a little inferior to our house in Nanhe Town. It can’t even compare to the one in the prefecture capital.”
Old man w.a.n.g, who had been silent at the side, coughed lightly. “It’s already not bad to have such a house on Three Thoughts Street now. Old woman, don’t be picky anymore. Be careful that Old Jiang comes looking for you later to ask for the house back.”
Only then did All Yu know that this house was really not bought by Grandma. She had just obtained it.
Meatbail, who had always been careful in the room, even told All Yu the details. [I heard from them that your Grandma lent them money to buy this house back then. At that time, it was relatively cheap. Later on, the house began to become valuable, and the Jiang Family bought other a.s.sets one after another. This house was used to repay their debt.]
“Elf, my Grandma isn’t an ordinary person, right? Is Wanning City her previous home?” This was something that All Yu had long been puzzled about. However, before Meatball could answer, All Yu continued, “You shouldn’t tell me. In any case, if Grandma wants me to know, she will definitely tell me in advance. If she doesn’t want me to know, 1 shouldn’t investigate secretly, lest Grandma is unhappy.”
Just like how Ah Yu had grown up and vaguely knew that she was actually not from the w.a.n.g Family.
In the past, she lived in a not-so-good home.
However, if All Yu were to choose for herself, she would only consider herself a child of the w.a.n.g Family and would never mention her former family.
If anyone mentioned it to her, she would be unhappy too.
If this happened to Grandma, she would probably feel the same way, right?
[As far as 1 know, your Grandma should have encountered something bad here. But now that your Grandma is willing to come back, it means that she has already let go of the things in her heart. If you’re really interested, you can find time to chat with your Grandma..]
