This time, Jin Jiashu's expression was not completely unchanged.

He tried to stay calm, but the sudden glint in his eyes in the candlelight betrayed him.

He lowered his head, pretending to be arranging his sleeves, and only raised his head again after a while, when there was no water in his eyes, and his tone was calm: "Really? That's right...... Now that I have no parents, my second-room relatives are no different from enemies. Aunt She...... It's the only one I have left. It's a pity that it's hard to see each other for thousands of miles......"

Haitang said: "Although Chang'an is far away from the capital, but if you really want to go to Beijing, it is only a month's journey to walk slowly. On weekdays, the Zhenguo Mansion and the Chengenhou Mansion in Beijing continue to exchange letters, but only in the cold winter and the moon season, affected by the heavy snow road closure, there is less contact. It can be seen that the distance between the two places is not as far as you think. Why do you think it is difficult to go to the capital to meet your relatives? You're still young, and the future is still growing! ”

Hai Jiao also nodded, "Yes, yes." You are young now, and you still have injuries on your body, so it is not convenient for you to go on the road alone. There are also some dangers in Jingli, and your aunt must not be worried about your past. Wait for a few years of study, take the Xiucai exam, take the exam, and then go to Beijing to take the exam as a new imperial examiner. When the time comes, there will be caravans and companions of the same year, all the way to the official road post station, lively and lively, and the government along the road will also take care of it. At that point, it won't be difficult for you to get there. After you arrive in the capital, you can also live with other candidates, take care of each other, and not be afraid of encountering danger. When you are named on the gold list, you will be famous all over the world, are you afraid that your aunt will not know? As long as she tells the emperor and summons you to the palace to meet, it's just an ordinary thing. It's really not as hard as you think! ”

Jin Jiashu smiled bitterly. If he is really just Concubine Xu Xian's nephew, then naturally there is nothing difficult......

But he couldn't express the real concerns in his heart, so he could only follow his friend's tone and say: "Having said that, if I don't go well in the imperial examination in the future and fail to be named on the gold list, how can I be embarrassed to meet my aunt?" ”

Haitang smiled on the side: "It is a matter of course for relatives to see each other, why set your own limits?" Even if you fail the Jinshi exam, you are still your aunt's nephew, and her only surviving relative in the world except for her own son. I don't believe she doesn't want to see you, and I don't believe you don't want to see her. If you really think about it in your heart, even if you haven't achieved fame in the exam, you can still enter Beijing. If you have money in your hand, it's a big deal to hire a caravan to take you for a ride, and bring a few servants to escort you, and someone will take care of you on the way. It's just that when you enter Beijing, how do you let your aunt know that you are here, is the key. She can't come out of the palace, and if she wants to see you, she can only ask the Holy God for a favor and summon you into the palace to speak. ”

I'm afraid that the emperor is the biggest obstacle for their "aunts and nephews" to meet. The emperor obviously knew Concubine Xu Xian's life experience, and also knew that she had a son, otherwise he would not have given Jin Juren "gold", and also told him to be kind to his son, not to let his stepwife bully the child too hard, and even delay his academic future.

It's just that Jin Jiashu recalled what the secret envoy sent by the emperor had said to Jin Juren, and his heart couldn't help but sink. He knew that it was impossible for him to recognize his biological mother. In front of outsiders, that woman can only be his "aunt" forever.

However, even if he couldn't meet his "aunt", he wanted to know more about her. In the past, when the nurse was still there, he could ask the nurse about it. Now that the nurse is dead, he has nowhere to ask. The arrival of the Hai family brothers and sisters solved a big problem for him.

Jin Jiashu smiled again: "Sister Hai is right, as long as I have a heart, there will always be a day when I will meet my aunt in the future." It's just that I can't accomplish anything now, and going to my aunt won't help my aunt at all, but will drag her down. There are still some bad people in the capital, and they are trying to take me hostage and threaten my aunt and cousin, how can I let them succeed? After I studied hard for a few years, I made achievements in the imperial examination, and I was no longer a little person who was slaughtered by others, and I could also add luster to her face when I went to see my aunt again. When those gangsters try to arrest me again, it won't be so easy! ”

Hai Jiao smiled: "It's hard to say whether those villains will be there or not." However, in addition to studying, you can also learn martial arts, and you must always have a little self-preservation. Even if those bad guys go crazy in the future, you can cope with it regardless of whether it is coming to your detriment. ”

Jin Jiashu already had this idea: "When I'm ready, I'll ask you and Yijun for advice, don't be polite to me when the time comes, you must teach me with your heart." I am not afraid of hardship, tiredness, or pain, I just hope that when I encounter bad people again, I can have the ability to protect myself, instead of only relying on others to protect me. He looked at Begonia, "At least it can't be worse than Sister Hai!" ”

Haitang blinked, and looked away a little weakly, wondering if Jin Jiashu's goal was a bit too high?

Haijiao touched his nose, laughed dryly, did not pick up the stubble, and only said vaguely: "As long as you have perseverance, you will definitely be able to learn martial arts well!" As for how "good" it can be, that's another story.

Haitang quickly brought the conversation back to the topic: "Brother Jin, do you still want to know about your aunt?" ”

"Yes!" Jin Jiashu had completely calmed down at this time, "I have never met my aunt, but I have heard the nurse talk about her when she was a child. But my aunt has been abducted for many years, and the family doesn't know what she has experienced, only that she was sold to Chengenhou's mansion, and Mrs. Chengenhou sent her to the queen mother to wait. That Miss Wu is said to have lived in Cining Palace for many years, and she must have spent a lot of time with my aunt. It would be great if I could get news of my aunt from her! When I offer incense to my deceased mother and grandfather during the Qingming Festival, I can also tell them about my aunt to comfort the souls of my ancestors in heaven. ”

If it weren't for the fact that the brothers and sisters of Haijiao and Haitang had already known the true relationship between Jin Jiashu and Concubine Xu Xian, and listened to his words, I am afraid that they would really believe it, thinking that Concubine Xu Xian was really his aunt, who was abducted and sold to the capital since she was a child, and then luckily bought by the Chengenhou Mansion and sent to the Empress Dowager Zhou, and became a palace person in Cining Palace.

But they didn't show anything unusual. Some lies are told too much, and over time they will become true. Jin Jiashu was accustomed to the saying that "Concubine Xu Xian is his aunt" earlier, and he will be able to reduce the risk of revealing his stuffing in the future.

Haitang smiled: "Okay, then I'll tell you about Wu Qiong's mention of Xu Gongren in the letter, but you are not allowed to tell others anymore." She turned her head to look at her brother, "This is the content of the correspondence between me and Wu Qiong's friend, and I shouldn't have leaked it to others." It was only when I accidentally said something in front of my brother that my brother thought that maybe you would be interested in your aunt's news, and repeatedly persuaded me to tell you. Let's just talk about it privately, but if Wu Qiong knows, she will definitely be unhappy. ”

"Of course." Jin Jiashu readily agreed. He had no one to talk about such things. But in the future, with the two insiders of the Hai family brother and sister, maybe he can still talk to them about his "aunt", and talk about his heart like tonight, so he won't be too lonely and lonely. Thinking that all this was thanks to the help of this good friend of the reef, he looked at the reef with a look of gratitude.

Haitang began to narrate: "The Wu family was taken into Cining Palace by the Empress Dowager after the Wu family's accident. Because they didn't want to attract the attention of Concubine Sun Guifei, they had been living a very low-key life in the palace for those years, and there were very few people they could contact, and even when they were sick, they couldn't just ask the imperial doctor to treat them. The Queen Mother asked your aunt, a confidant of the palace, to teach herself medical skills......"
