Chapter 313
"Aren't you going to ask me how I did in the exam?" Jiang Shanqing couldn't help asking while being dragged in by Li Meier.

"You don't need to ask, you must be fine." Li Meier said without looking back.

"I got the case." Jiang Shanqing said calmly.

"Oh, it's okay..." Li Meier stopped in the middle of her words, and looked back at Jiang Shanqing, her big eyes flickering.

"It's really...the case?" Li Meier suppressed the joy in her heart, her eyes turned into crescent moons.

Jiang Shanqing couldn't help showing a smile and nodded, "It's the chief of the case. The county magistrate personally pointed out my article. Seeing how young I was, he was amazed and asked me a few questions. Finally Let me be the head of the case."

"Brother Shanqing, you are really amazing!" Li Meier couldn't help but danced twice with Jiang Shanqing in her arms.Her voice was not low, and soon attracted other people in the family.

"What! Shanqing really won the case!" Oops, I got 50 taels of silver.Mrs. Li was making Qingming fruit with Mrs. Lin. Hearing the good news, she didn't even wipe off the glutinous rice flour on her hands. When she clapped her hands, a cloud of dust rose up, causing Li Meier to cough several times.

"Good boy, try to be the first in the public examinations in the future, then you will be better than your father and your uncle." Mrs. Li didn't care about the glutinous rice flour in her hand, and directly touched Jiang Shanqing's face with her hand, and gave him a hand. Two white marks were left on it.

"Grandmother! Look at you, brother Shanqing's face is all smeared!" Li Meier hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped Jiang Shanqing's face.

But Jiang Shanqing, who loves cleanliness most on weekdays, was not angry today, and still smiled and said: "Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Jiang Shi and Li Yan also came out of the house at this moment, and seeing Jiang Shanqing's funny appearance, they couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.

As a woman, Jiang is more sensitive. Seeing Li Meier wipe Jiang Shanqing's face so carefully, she felt a little worried.

Because Jiang Shanqing was the top case, the meals at night are extra hearty. Li's family has moved here for more than a month, and Mrs. Lin is basically familiar with the shops and shops nearby. Which ones have delicious dim sum and which ones have cooked food? It tastes good, she knows it all.Today, Mrs. Li was bleeding heavily, so she was asked to buy two catties of cold mutton and two catties of sauced beef at a famous deli nearby, and a pack of walnut cakes at a pastry shop.Boy Shanqing studies so hard these days, eat more walnuts to nourish his brain.

Thanks to Jiang Shanqing's blessing, the whole family was very satisfied with the food at night. Brother Kang stroked his chubby belly and hiccupped and said, "Brother Shanqing, can you take the talent test every day so that I can I can eat beef and mutton every day."

The whole family was amused by Brother Kang's words, and Mrs. Li laughed even more and said, "My Brother Kang likes to eat beef and mutton. When you pass the scholar exam in the future, grandma will buy you a cow and a sheep for you to eat." My good grandson will eat enough."

Brother Kang was immediately full of fighting spirit. For the sake of the large amount of beef and mutton, he also had to study hard. In the future, he will be tested as a scholar just like his father and Brother Shanqing.

After dinner, the family gossiped for a while, and Mrs. Li asked Jiang Shanqing and Li Meier to go back to their rooms earlier to rest. After months of hard work, they finally managed to relax for a few days.

When the two children left, her old man left Jiang Shi and Li Yan to talk alone.

"I think Shan Qing is quite promising, and he and our girl grew up together. The two children get along very well, and they are about the same age. Why don't we settle down." Mrs. Li said to her son and daughter-in-law with a smile.She had thought a lot about the marriage of Yatou Pianzi. At first, she was quite surprised by her grandson Qi brother. After all, sister-in-law is the closest in person, but now her son-in-law is an official. Today, she will not see each other for a year A few times, she was worried about marrying her granddaughter far away. Originally, Jiang Shanqing's status as an illegitimate child was not looked down upon by her elders, but this child is up to the challenge. He passed the examination of a scholar at a young age. The future is boundless, and he grew up in his own family, and he may live with his own family when he gets married. It's not the same as recruiting a grandson-in-law.

Li Yan is also very optimistic about Jiang Shanqing. He has watched Jiang Shanqing grow up since he was a child, and he knows his temper. Shanqing now has his own property, a shop, a house and a field, and he has passed the examination early as a scholar, so he will be able to live in the future.But Li Yan knew that he was not the only one who had the final say on this matter, so he didn't express his opinion immediately, but turned his head to look at his wife.

Mrs. Li naturally saw her small movements, and felt depressed that her son had no opinion, so she knew to listen to her daughter-in-law.

The smile on Jiang's face was as usual, and she didn't show any emotion. Seeing that her husband didn't speak, she said slowly, "The children are still young, so don't worry about this matter. After two years, the children will have settled down. , besides, the marriage is not too late."

Mrs. Li immediately said, "It's not too young, Mei Meier will be twelve in the next year, and there are many people who are engaged at this age."

Mrs. Jiang didn't say a word, apparently unwilling to make an appointment so early.

Li Yan looked at her expression, and quickly opened his mouth to smooth things over, "Mother, what Yingying said is right, the children are still early, don't worry, or wait a little longer, besides, we have to talk to Yan about Shanqing's marriage. The discussion is not."

Mrs. Li's mouth bulged from side to side, thinking that her son was worthless, and he had to listen to his wife for everything.But after thinking about it again, Shanqing is Jiang Yanzhi's illegitimate son after all, and it has to go through the Jiang family if it is to happen, not to mention that the Jiang family also gave birth to two grandsons, who are also the heroes of the old Li family, so, regarding the son's words, She didn't say anything.After all, is the daughter-in-law a girl's mother?

After the young couple returned to their room, Li Yan asked his wife what she was thinking, and Mrs. Jiang showed hesitation and said, "The children are still young, and they can't see anything when they are young. There is no rush for marriage or something."

Li Yan knew that his wife was always extra cautious when it came to his daughter, so he said with a smile, "Now we're going to act first, and when Shanqing is really promising later, it's hard to say whether this marriage will come true."

Mrs. Jiang curled her lips and said, "A talent like Mei Meier from our family can't find a good family. You don't know how much the wives and grandmas of our neighbors like our Mei Meier." It's not that no one wants it.

Jiang said again, "Don't talk about Brother Qi from my sister's family. I have liked our Mei Meier and my third aunt since I was a child. She always said that she would introduce her nephew to me. I heard that he is also a good child who can read. , and Mrs. Wang next door also often praises our daughter, and I think his youngest son is also about the same age as our Mei Meier."
