Chapter 161 Madness
"Sister, don't worry, I will write letters back from time to time, and I am not alone on the road. I have already made an appointment to go to Beijing with my classmates who are familiar with me in the academy. There are so many of us, and there will be someone to take care of me along the way." Jiang Yanzhi naturally knew Jiang Shi was worried about something, and said comfortingly.

Mrs. Jiang still had a worried look on her face, and said with a wry smile: "Although I know that you are a good person and will take care of yourself, but thinking that you have never traveled such a long way, I still feel uneasy. It must be the same feeling as me.”

"Sister, don't worry about brother. He has been strong since he was a child. When we were still in the countryside, he often went to work with his parents during the busy farming season. Now it's just a trip to the capital, and nothing will happen." Jiang Youzhi also heard the conversation between the siblings, and said indifferently.

"It's true, your brother has always been in good health, but you, you were always sick when you were young, and your parents never let you do heavy work. Are you ready to end this year?" Jiang shifted her attention to her younger brother, asked.

Jiang Youzhi smiled sarcastically, and replied: "I asked my brother to read the article for me. He said that my article is not hot enough, and there is a high chance that I will fail the ranking, so I decided to wait another three years. Anyway, I am not old enough. Great, don't worry."

"Since your brother said so, then you can wait for another three years, but you have to exercise well in these three years. The imperial examination is a physical labor. I know that many people who are not in good health fell ill during the exam. , like this, no matter how good your knowledge is, you can't get a good grade in the exam." Jiang told her younger brother.

"I know, I do morning exercises every morning now, and my body is much better than before. Sister, don't you think I have grown a lot taller this year?" Jiang Youzhi puffed up his chest, showing Jiang's strength Body, said confidently.

"Little uncle, you still need to eat fatter. I didn't realize it when you were short, but now you've grown taller, thin and long, like a bamboo pole." Li Meier covered her mouth and said narrowly Tucao Road.

"Okay! Mei Meier is getting more and more courageous now, she even dares to make fun of my little uncle, see if I don't punish you!" Then she stretched out her hands to scratch Li Meier's itch.

Li Mei'er was the most ticklish, she immediately collapsed on the soft couch laughing, her little face was flushed with laughter.

Seeing her sister laughing, Brother Kang clapped her little hands desperately, making a baby-like giggle.

Jiang looked at the three people on the couch with a headache, and complained to her elder brother: "Why do I have such a crazy brother and daughter, she doesn't look like a girl at all, it's great when I grow up."

"Sister, don't worry. Mei Meier has a good temper, natural and innocent, and she will be a blessed one in the future. If my boy was not born a few years late, I would definitely ask Mei Meier to be my wife."

When Mrs. Jiang heard Jiang Yanzhi's words, she immediately asked with a smile, "Are you sure it's your son? Dr. Cui's pulse?"

Jiang Yanzhi nodded, "Ninety-nine are inseparable. Dr. Cui has always been accurate in diagnosing men and women, but when I hope to give birth, I can turn the tables. I still prefer girls."

"It's better for the first child to be a son, and it's okay to have a daughter in the future. Our family is not prosperous at all. With the eldest grandson, my mother can be relieved." Jiang said with a smile still.

Jiang Yanzhi naturally knew this truth, so he had great expectations for the eldest son who was about to be born.

"By the way, why didn't I see Shanqing today." Mentioning his son, Jiang Yanzhi thought of Jiang Shanqing. It's been so long, and he hasn't seen this adopted son yet.

"Shanqing was invited by her classmates in the ethnology school to ask for homework, and she said that she came back after dinner." Jiang replied.

"How long has he just entered school, and someone is asking him for homework?" Jiang Shanqing felt strange and asked with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang glanced at Jiang Yan, and said angrily: "As a adoptive father, you don't care about children at all. Shanqing is really a seed for studying. I think he is better than you when you were young. Although he didn't study for long, he still He is better at studying than those who have studied for a long time, and he won the first class in the year-end assessment of the ethnology, and the ethnology also rewarded him with five taels of silver."

Jiang Yanzhi has been in the Bailu Academy in the state capital these days asking for advice and articles from the great Confucians in the academy, so he has ignored this adopted son. Now hearing his sister say that he is so good, he feels both guilty and proud. He really deserves to be hers. Son, he is already extraordinary at such a young age.

"I'm currently concentrating on preparing for Chunwei, but I have neglected Shanqing a lot. In the future, I have to rely on my sister to help me take care of this child. Since he has such a talent, he shouldn't be delayed in my hands." Jiang Yanzhi's tone Speak to Jiang sincerely.

"It's up to you to say that Shanqing has been living in my house these days, and I have always treated him as my nephew. If he has a future, I will be happy." Jiang Shi and Jiang Yanzhi have been together for these days, and they naturally have feelings Yes, besides, Jiang Shanqing is really smart and sensible, and he never let him worry about it.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will take care of Brother Shanqing." Li Meier finally escaped from Jiang Youzhi's clutches at this moment, just in time to hear what Jiang Shi and Jiang Yanzhi said, and interjected out of breath.

"Take care of yourself first, see how wrinkled your clothes are, come down quickly, mother will fix it for you." Mrs. Jiang got up, walked quickly to the side of the soft couch, and lifted Li Meier off the top, Help her arrange her dress.

"Mom, I'm hungry, I want to have some snacks." Li Meier blushed, looked at Jiang Shi with a playful look and said.

Only then did Jiang glance at Leu Ke, but she didn't expect that it would be almost time for Shen Shi while she was talking, so she asked Baozi to cook some dumplings.The dumplings were made by Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lin together a few days ago. They made hundreds of dumplings, enough for the whole family to eat until the New Year.

"I want to eat stuffed leeks and eggs." Li Meier said immediately.

"Leave a few, or you won't be able to eat dinner later." Jiang Shi was afraid that her daughter would be greedy, so she told Baozi again.

In the end, Baozi ordered ten dumplings, Li Meier ate five, and Jiang Youzhi ate the remaining five.

When it was time for dinner, the two of them were really not very hungry, so they simply ate vegetables instead of rice.

Li Yan also drank some wine with his two brothers-in-law. Fortunately, the two brothers lived not far away, even if the two brothers got drunk, the Li family would send them back.

But Jiang Yanzhi and Li Yan have always had good drinking capacity, but Jiang Youzhi is the youngest, and he doesn't have many opportunities to drink on weekdays. If he gets drunk, he will get a little drunk, but when he is drunk, he will sleep, and the two uncles don't care about him. After discussing some articles, Li Yan, Qiu Wei of Jinke also wanted to try it out, so he naturally wanted to ask his brother-in-law for more advice on his experience in the exam.
