Chapter 324 No problem

Li Meier was very fast at needlework, and within a few days she almost finished Jiang Shanqing's clothes, and she even brought Jiang Shanqing over to try on the clothes.

She took the clothes and compared them to Jiang Shanqing, and smiled, "Embroider some patterns on the neckline and sleeves tomorrow, and you can wear them after ironing them."

Jiang Shanqing didn't like those gaudy ones, he waved his hand and said, "This is fine, no need for embroidery."

"Let's embroider some. It's not difficult for me to embroider. I just embroider mountain patterns and auspicious clouds, so that I won't be confused with other people's." Li Meier laughed.

Seeing Li Meier's insistence, Jiang Shanqing didn't say anything.

"The exam is the day after tomorrow, so don't you have to go up the mountain tomorrow?" Li Meier asked after folding the half-finished clothes.

Jiang Shanqing nodded, "Tomorrow morning, I will go up the mountain with my uncle, then stay in Siming Town for one night, and then go to the academy early in the morning."

Li Meier thought for a while, and then asked: "The exam is a one-day exam, so what should you do for lunch?"

"I heard from my uncle that there is a cafeteria in the academy, but it is for the students of the academy. There must be a lot of students who will take the exam later, and the cafeteria must not be able to supply it. You should bring your own dry food. Anyway, it's just a meal. If you pay attention to it casually, you will be able to deal with it." Jiang Shanqing thought about it and replied.

But Li Meier shook her head disapprovingly, "That's not okay. If you can't eat well, you won't have the energy to take the exam well. You don't have to worry about that. I'll prepare lunch for you."

Li Meier always does what she says when she does things. When she sent Li Yan and Jiang Shanqing out the next day, she gave them the lunch box she had prepared and told Shuxiang who went with them, "Here are some I prepared. Pancakes, steamed buns and jerky. It will be delicious when you heat it up in the kitchen of the academy at noon. It’s just that the soup is not convenient to bring. The stuff here is dried seaweed. When the time comes, borrow a large bowl from the kitchen of the academy, put some salt and boiled water. Chong is a soup. The water in the water bag is warm. If you are thirsty, drink this water. After drinking the water, find boiling water to fill it in time. Don’t fill it with raw water from the river on the road. Drinking it will cause stomach upset. "

After rambling on, it's hard for Shuxiang to be used to Li Yan's exams for talents and candidates, and he is very clear about the precautions for this exam. After Li Mei'er finished speaking, he said, "Don't worry, elder sister, I will definitely take Master Shanqing into consideration. Serve well."

Mrs. Li also got up early to send her son and Shanqing off together, and they said with a smile: "Shanqing, don't be nervous, you must be fine, you are the top case this year, if the Bailu Academy doesn't admit you, then that's a shame." They are really blind."

"Mother..." Li Yan didn't know what to say. Although he also felt that it was impossible for his family to fail the exam, it was really not good for my mother to say that about the master of the academy.

Jiang Shanqing has long been used to Mrs. Li's unreliable mouth, and she still smiled and said: "Don't worry if you are old, and wait to hear my good news at home."

Mrs. Li smiled, "Good! Good!"

Jiang Shanqing and Li Yan left, and when Li Meier was eating in Mrs. Li's room at noon, she felt that the dining table was empty and she was not used to it.

Mrs. Li was still rambling, "It's time for them to eat now, I wonder if there are any vacant seats in the restaurant in the town." Something like that.

Li Meier smiled, "Don't worry, my mother and I have been to Siming Town. There are several inns in the town. No matter what, there are food and other things."

Because Jiang Shanqing's knowledge is strong enough, the female family members of the Li family are not worried that he will fail the exam at all, so these two days are not tense at all, two days passed in a flash, Jiang Shanqing came back first with Shuxiang.

After he came back, he first went to Mrs. Li's room to talk, and the whole family surrounded him and asked questions.Mrs. Li asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

Jiang Shanqing smiled, "I answered them all seriously. The questions are not difficult, even easier than the scholar's test. The results will be announced in three days."

Three days later, the academy published the list, and the exam results came out. Li Yan was already staying in the academy at the moment, and when the results came out, he would send someone to send a message home, so Jiang Shanqing didn't have to go there again.

Li Meier brought herbal tea and gave everyone in the room a cup, and she handed Jiang Shanqing's cup to him herself.Jiang Shanqing squeezed the teacup, not in a hurry, "It's not a big problem, it's just that there are more subjects in the exam."

These days, the six arts of a gentleman, rites, music, archery, censorship, calligraphy, and mathematics, all need to be learned. Although the imperial examination only tests the four books and five classics, the academy can teach everything.Of course, not all of the six items are tested, at least music, imperial, and archery are not tested.If Jiang Shanqing passed the exam, he might be overturned. He really hasn't learned these three things.

The entrance examination of Bailu Academy is over, Jiang Shanqing can finally rest for a few days, and he doesn't have to study in the room every day, but he is not idle. These two days, he is taking Chen Pi to see a suitable printing shop near the state capital. Chen Pi I have been working on this matter for the past two months, and now I have seen a few shops, and I am waiting for Jiang Shanqing to finalize it.

Li Meier is still rushing to make Jiang Shanqing's clothes, trying to get him out before he goes to the academy.

Mrs. Jiang has not been idle recently. She also has to help her husband and mother-in-law make summer clothes, prepare for Mrs. Li’s birthday, and breastfeed Brother Jian on weekdays. If it weren’t for the buns to help her, she would be too busy Come.

Mrs. Li has now become the most idle person in the family. After Brother Kang went to school during the day, she only needs to take care of Brother Jian occasionally. Now that Li Meier is older, family matters, especially a She is the one who prepares the three meals a day, so Mrs. Li doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Now that Brother Kang is grown up, Mrs. Jiang let him live in a room alone, and live in the East Wing with their husband and wife. Now Jiang Shanqing lives in the West Wing by himself. When Brother Kang and Brother Jian are both older, They will also move to the West Wing.As Li Mei'er got older, she moved to live in the backyard. Together with Mrs. Li, the room there was bigger.

Mrs. Li lives close to her granddaughter, so she likes to visit her when she has nothing to do. After taking a nap and nothing to do, she washes her face and walks there.

Li Meier didn't take a nap, she was sitting sewing, when she saw Mrs. Li coming, she said, "Grandmother, are you awake?" She put down her sewing and got up to help the old lady.

Mrs. Li didn't need anyone to help her, so she sat on the edge of the kang by herself, and while picking up the clothes Li Meier made, she thought it was okay.Mrs. Li said, "What kind of flowers do you want to embroider? Don't be particular about it."

"It's so easy to make new clothes, so let's make them look better. It has nothing to do with whether you are particular or not." Li Meier smiled as she said, "You are the grandmother, don't you also like to ask a good needlework lady outside to make it for you? clothes."
