Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 172 Ice melts and snow melts

The brother and sister stood outside their father's study and chatted. They watched their mother holding the door frame and looking inside for a long time before she walked into the house. Wang Jinyi tried her best to hold her brother back.

Suddenly, he heard sobbing sounds. At first, Wang Jinyi thought he had misheard and looked around. He soon understood that his mother was crying because she saw his father was wrong!

Alas! The mother couldn't bear to leave her father, nor could she bear to leave her children. She was in a dilemma.

Wang Jinyi thought that he should tell his grandfather the legend of the Queen Mother, and let his grandmother know how annoying the Queen Mother was, and how to help his loving parents. After a while, his father, whose figure was getting taller and taller, walked out of the study with his mother.

Looking closely, the mother's eyes were red from crying, and the father also shed tears, with slightly red eyes.

The parents looked at their two children at the door with deep affection.

Wang Wendong shouted stupidly:

"Dad, are you going to take the imperial examination in the prefectural capital this year? Which imperial examination academy are you on the list for?"

Wang Jinyi asked in confusion:

"Are there still several examination halls?"

The brother turned around and explained to his sister:

"Yes, there are some in the city, right next to the government office, and there is also one in the west of the city, which is a large empty courtyard. There are usually only these two places.

It just depends on how many students sign up. If there are many, some will be assigned to Chengxi to take the exam."

"Is it far from home?"

"Of course the Student Government Office is closer to home. We now live in the back three alleys of Xuezheng Street! You don't even know this?!"

Wang Jinyi grabbed her brother's arm and shook her head silently.

"Brother, I don't know anywhere."

This may be the reason why women in ancient times were timid. The smaller the world a person is exposed to, the more narrow their horizons will be, and the less courageous they will be. This will then become a vicious cycle, making them become more and more cowardly.

The father looked at the two children and withdrew his gaze from his mother.

Wang Jinyi thought: This young man, who is only 24 or 25 years old, has to shoulder the responsibility of a family, take care of his wife and children, be filial to his parents, study hard, and obey the arrangements of the family. He has to balance all of this...

It’s really difficult for someone so young!

Perhaps there was some emotion revealed in Wang Jinyi's eyes, the father reached out and stroked his son's head, then patted the top of his daughter's head.

Said: "Dad is taking the exam at the prefectural school."

"Great! We can go take Dad to the exam!"

"Okay! Go, all of you."

The family talked as they walked towards the dining room at the back of the house. On the way, Wang Jinyi held her brother's hand and ran forward, jumping and skipping. After running two steps, they stopped and looked back with a giggle. When their parents walked in, they flew away happily like birds on an island.

Afterwards, the child would run giggling to a place three or five steps away from his parents, waiting for his parents to come closer before running away again. He would repeat this process all the way. The amused parents would also run and chase happily with their child!

The two children ran around the stone table again, teasing their parents to chase them. It is said that exercise can relieve stress and improve mood, and it seems to be true. No need to say. I knew very well in my previous life that exercise can produce endorphins and dopamine. Just saying that the family gathering is enough to make people happy.

Wang Jinyi and his brother had a thin layer of sweat on their faces. They lay on the stone table and gasped for breath. Their parents also had smiles on their faces. The whole family slowly sat on the stone benches to rest.

Wang Jinyi told a dream of hers at the right time.

"Mother, I had a dream last night. Do you want to listen to it? Do you want to listen to it?"

My elder brother was naturally the first to raise his hand in approval.

"Listen! Jin'er, tell me quickly."

"Okay! Now that Jin'er has spoken, let's go eat."

"Once upon a time there was an honest and capable farmer. He had a beautiful wife. Somehow they were reluctant to part. Someone wanted the farmer to go far away, and his wife seemed a little sad..."

"What kind of dream is this? Jin'er."

Wang Wendong not only understood the question.

"I don't know either. Anyway, my wife doesn't want the farmer to leave."

"Then why not go with the farmer?"

"Oh, yes! But the lady in my dream didn't think of this. She was silly and still very sad. Mother, is she a little silly?"

"Jin'er, if she can't leave the child behind, she won't be able to follow the farmer."

"Mother, she can take her child with her! Or she can go to accompany her husband for half a year, and then come back to accompany her child for half a year. Wouldn't that take care of both sides?! Why does she need to separate from her husband? This way, the child can also be with her, how great!"

"But what if the child is too young and the mother is worried about the child? Then..."

"Oh, yes, if the child is still a baby, it would be fine to take him with your husband. But if he is as old as my brother and I, he is no longer a child. We can take care of ourselves!"

Wang Jinyi turned around and asked Wang Wendong:

"Brother, don't you think so? We can take care of ourselves. We are not children!"

Wang Wendong didn't know that his sister was alluding to his parents, he just catered to her.

"Jin'er is right. How can we be considered children? We can do everything and we don't need milk. Right? Jin'er."

The couple understood, and the daughter understood what was going on at home. She told her parents that there were other solutions. The father was a little emotional. He held his wife's hand tightly under the table, and the mother looked at her husband with tears in her eyes.

Wang Jinyi knew that her parents understood, but they were worried about their two children.

Wang Jinyi thought for a while and asked:

"Dad, is Grandfather's knowledge good?"

"Of course. Your grandfather was the runner-up in the imperial examination that year, and that's why he stayed in the Ministry of Rites."

"Dad, is it grandpa's knowledge that is better? Or is it dad's knowledge that is better?

"Of course your grandfather's knowledge is better."

The father understood what his daughter meant. She was reminding the couple that she was worried that no one would guide their son in his studies. However, his grandfather was the runner-up in the imperial examination, and compared to his father, who was not even a juren, Wang Wendong had a better future following his grandfather.

My father nodded silently.

The mother spoke.

"A mother can't bear to leave her children. After all, you are too young."

"Mother, we will be happy if you can help us take care of father. Mother, don't forget the story of Junzi and Sister Yaoyao.

Anyway, I don’t want my father to fall in love with a pretty lady! "

The father was a little angry, and the mother pulled the corner of his sleeve. She heard her daughter say angrily:

"Mother, you have to promise to stay with us for half a year!"

The mother curled her lips knowingly, and the father's face turned slightly red. He seemed to want to defend himself, but he glanced at his wife and smiled.

Wang Wendong looked at his father, then at his mother, and finally at his sister. Although he didn't understand what everyone was saying, he understood that his sister seemed to be persuading his parents to do something, and his parents seemed to be convinced. So he was very happy.

The exercise finally took away the haze that was weighing on Wang Jinyi's heart, and a gentle smile appeared on her mother's face again.
