Chapter 387
At the end of February, Jiang took Li Meier back to Zhangshui Town, because Li Yuanchun's wedding was on February 29, and they had to go there earlier to help prepare.

Li Meier went back to the town, but she hadn't seen Li Yuanchun and Li Yuanxia yet, but Zhou Duan and Qin Shi led Zhou Muyi to visit first.

Counting it, Li Meier hadn't seen Zhou Muyi for more than a year. He was much darker and stronger than last year, and he was much taller than before. Now he is almost two heads taller than Li Meier.

"Brother Yi, why are you so tall?" Li Meier asked enviously.

Zhou Muyi laughed twice, showing his big white teeth, "I have been practicing martial arts for the past two years, and I eat a lot, so I naturally grow taller."

Li Meier suddenly thought of Jiang Shanqing's height. He is 14 years old after his birthday. Although he is not short among his peers, he is not tall either. How long is a little chant.

"Brother Yi, how did you do in the martial arts exam?" Li Meier immediately asked with concern, remembering this incident.The smile on Zhou Muyi's face faded a little, and he said in a dull tone: "I passed the examination as a second-class military Jinshi, and I was awarded an official of the inner treasury."

Li Mei'er didn't know much about the ranks of military officers, so she asked again: "How high is this inner treasury envoy?"

"Zheng Qipin." Zhou Muyi replied.

Li Meier exclaimed upon hearing this, "That's amazing! My uncle is only at the seventh rank now." Her uncle returned to Beijing this time to wait for lack, if there were no accidents, he would probably have been released as a seventh rank magistrate.

"It's just an idle job, and I can't go to the battlefield. In fact, it's just for the emperor's old man to look after the warehouse." Zhou Muyi sighed again. He practiced martial arts to fight the enemy, and he passed the Wu Jinshi examination through hard work. He was naturally not happy that he was given such an idle job.

"Brother Ayi, just be content. How many people want to be an official but have not yet had the chance? Look at you, you have become a seventh-rank official before now. The future is boundless. How can the world be peaceful now? There are so many battles to fight, why don't you watch over your wife and children to live a peaceful life." Li Meier felt that Zhou Muyi was really dissatisfied, and he was not satisfied with a double harvest of career and love.

Zhou Muyi thought that he was going to marry his sweetheart soon, so he couldn't restrain a smile on his face, nodded and said: "You are right, I can't let my wife and children live in fear with me." Thinking about it this way, The built-in library is also very good, at least it is not safe.

"Brother Ayi, have you visited Sister Yuanchun since you came back?" Li Meier asked gossipingly after seeing Zhou Muyi relieved.

Zhou Muyi's black face blushed, although the redness was not so obvious, but he could still see it, he scratched his head with his big hands, and stammered back: "I went to see it once, Ah Chun even gave me a pair of shoes made by herself. .”

Seeing Zhou Muyi's shy appearance, Li Meier couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, thinking that Ayi brother was still the same as before, that frizzy boy who often acted silly.

"Brother Ayi, you and sister Yuanchun get married, are you going to the capital too?" Li Meier suddenly thought of this, and asked with some reluctance.

Zhou Muyi smiled and nodded, "That's right, I took a one-month family-visiting leave because I was selected as a Jinshi. After getting married, I will go back to Beijing after picking up some trivial matters."

Li Meier sighed, "All my relatives have gone to the capital, leaving our family in the state capital. Thinking about it, I'm really lonely."

Zhou Muyi smiled and comforted, "When Uncle Li wins the Jinshi examination, he will go to the capital as well, and then we will be together again."

Li Meier didn't know when his father would be able to win the Jinshi exam. After all, it took six years to get a Jinshi exam. I'm over 12, I must be married, I can't still run with my mother's family, right?Unless she is an old girl who has never been able to get married, Li Meier can't help but want to laugh when she thinks about how sad Li Lao Niang is because she can't get married.

"What are you thinking about being so happy?" Zhou Muyi couldn't help asking when she saw Li Meier suddenly couldn't hold back her laughter.

"I think about your wedding with Sister Yuanchun. It must be very interesting. I was thinking about how to make trouble in the bridal chamber." Li Meier raised her face and said narrowly.

Zhou Muyi blushed again immediately, and begged Li Meier to show mercy when the time came.

"Then you have to bribe me well. If I am satisfied, I will release water for you at that time." Li Meier smiled more and more complacently.

"Don't worry, you are indispensable. I brought you a lot of new things from the capital this time, and we haven't seen them here." Zhou Muyi said, pulling Li Meier to see the gifts he brought back.

Mrs. Jiang in the front yard is still talking to Zhou Duan and his wife. Mrs. Qin received a letter from Zhou Hanyu a few days ago. She and Jiang Yanzhi are doing well in the capital. The official rank can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the Hanlin Academy.

"We are planning to move the whole family to the capital after Ah Yi gets married. We can't rest assured that the child will be an official in the capital alone." Qin said to Jiang with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang didn't expect it to be so sudden, and she was a little surprised. She asked, "Your family still has a lot of business in the town and the state capital. You have all gone to the capital. What about the business?"

"Ah Jin will stay to manage these properties, and sell what can be sold. If you get the money, you can go to the capital to buy land and buy a shop again. Ah Jin has also experienced these years. As long as you have the capital, it is not difficult to start a business again. Besides, my daughter and son-in-law are now firmly established in the capital, so you can find them if you have any difficult problems. Hanyu has been in the capital for these years, and her mother and I have missed her so much, it is also a good thing to be able to reunite with the family." Zhou Duan had already considered everything and said with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang did not expect that the two elders of the Zhou family were so courageous. The property that two generations worked so hard to build would be sold as soon as they were sold. However, people go to high places and water flows to low places. The small town of Zhangshui has a brighter future.

"I am also thinking about my grandson. Hanyu wrote that she had just given birth to her third son. Now that she is counting, she should be about to give birth. When Ah Yi finishes her marriage, we will set off for the capital. Maybe it will be okay. Catch up with my grandson's hundred days." Qin added with a smile, obviously very happy for her daughter to have another son.

Mrs. Jiang also wanted to meet this newborn nephew, so she also said with joy: "Then, auntie, please help me bring the meeting gift for my little nephew. I originally wanted my sister and brother-in-law to bring it over. , but they will leave for the capital in May, since you guys go first, help me take one with you."
