Otoharu

Chapter 418
Li Yan waited for Jiang's confinement to return to the academy. Although he didn't need to prepare for this year's autumn, the spring is much more difficult than the autumn, so he can't slack off.

The Xisan and the full moon of the two twins are very lively, because people nowadays pay attention to having more children and more blessings, and it is a great auspicious omen to give birth to twins, so some neighbors, relatives and friends all come here with their families Yes, especially if there are new daughter-in-laws in the family who have not yet given birth, they all come to enjoy the joy.

After the full moon banquet was over, the day was approaching June, because the day of Qiu Wei was in August, and the Li family became tense immediately after changing the relaxed atmosphere before.

In fact, the most nervous one is Li Meier. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jiang accompanied Li Yan to take the exams for several subjects, and they are all experienced. Now it is Jiang Shanqing's turn to take the exam, and they are not so anxious. Let alone Jiang Shanqing has a literary star. Even if he didn't pass the exam this time, he is only 14 years old this year, even if he took the exam a few more times, he would still be young.

Li Meier was a bit concerned and confused, there were still more than two months left, and she was already busy preparing for the exam.

Perhaps because of the approaching autumn, at the end of June, the Li family welcomed an unexpected guest.

When the patriarch's wife, Mrs. Liu, brought her daughter He Liu, the Li family was very surprised. After all, Mrs. Liu had never left Zhangshui Town for so many years. It was really surprising that she suddenly came to the state capital.

Mrs. Liu's argument was that he came to cook something for his grandson and grandson who were studying in Qingfeng Academy and Bailu Academy. Thinking about coming, they all came, so they just came to visit Mrs. Li.

Li Yu went to Qingfeng Academy to study after passing the exam a few years ago, a little earlier than Li Ang, because he went there after being a scholar, so he didn't need to take the exam, but Li Ang only entered after passing the examination .

In any case, the two have been classmates for many years, but I heard that Li Yu has always been in the best class A, while Li Ang was in class B when he first entered, and he just entered class A this year.

According to Liu's shrewdness, he brought his daughter and many things here, not just to bring things for his grandson and grandson.

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Li and her elders also understood, but they didn't point it out.

As soon as Mrs. Liu mentioned that her grandson and grandson Jinke were also going to participate in Qiu Wei, Mrs. Jiang heard the string song and knew the meaning, and immediately said, "My Shanqing also needs to refer to it this time. It's best to go together when the time comes. Meier's father went to Qiuwei once, and she had to get up at midnight on the day of the exam to line up outside the Gongyuan. Those who enter early will be assigned good exam rooms, and those who enter late will only be assigned inferior exam rooms. , I heard that in the exam room with unlucky points, not only can't stand upright and can't stretch your legs, but you can see the stars when you sleep at night. Hot and cold are the same thing. If it's cloudy and rainy, how can you make a fuss? Let’s go together, let’s take care of everyone, go to line up early, allocate a good test room, not to mention getting twice the result with half the effort, at least you won’t suffer from it. Brother Yu and the others who took the test in the first year followed my younger brother These big ones are actually cheap, and if anything happens, the elders will remind them."

The corners of Liu's lips were smiling when he heard this, after listening, this is the gap, don't think that his son is jumping around like a hen about to lay eggs, even if he is a fairy, there is no limit to jumping alone.As the saying goes, a good man needs three helpers.

Liu smiled, "Very well." Then he asked Jiang Shanqing and Jiang Youzhi when they planned to go.

Li Meier is smart, and she can understand a thing or two when watching the elders talking and laughing.Just like Mrs. Li, who is usually the most straightforward character, she really has a lot of mind when dealing with the outside world.

As soon as Li Meier felt that her grandmother was a wise person, Mrs. Li began to show off her true colors without boundaries, and it was none other than her brother Shanqing who wanted to show off.

Mrs. Li smiled, "Isn't this a test for a scholar in March? When I went out early in the morning, I saw a group of young men Wu Yangyang praying and praying in front of my house. It scared me. I said what's wrong. I took a closer look, and there was brother Ang from Axin's family. I stopped him and asked, what are you praying for? Why didn't you come home early in the morning? The boy said, my family has good Fengshui, There is Wenquxing who is taking care of her specially, and pay homage to Nengzhong Xiucai! You said you made me laugh~"

Mrs. Liu has always been a low-key person. When Li Yu was selected as a scholar, she just invited her neighbors over for a drink, and she didn't make a big deal of it. Now, when she heard Mrs. Li say that her child was a Wenqu star, her expression was embarrassing and embarrassing. It's envy, I wish that Wenqu star would be born in her house tomorrow.

Mrs. He Liu has a completely different personality from his mother. The most proud thing in her life is that she gave birth to such a promising son as He Zheng. Now, after hearing Mrs. Li's show off, she couldn't help but answer: " Whoever says no, let's just say my brother Zheng, I haven't taken the exam this year, and those matchmakers are about to squeeze the door of my house, and I want to see my girl for my brother Zheng, what kind of daughter of a rich businessman? Ah, the young lady of a high-ranking official's family, and my elder brother is all focused on studying, so I refused all of them, saying that I didn't pass the exam and never mentioned marriage. I'm almost eighteen, and I don't know when I will be able to hold my grandson..."

Next, I listened to Mrs. Li and Mrs. He and Liu, one showing off their Wenqu star, the other showing off their son...the two were talking about their mouths, and they were so excited that they both seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood. Call a speechless.

Li Meier: Is this the legendary meeting of bosom friend in high mountains and flowing water?
Li Meier counted with her fingers. There are quite a lot of people participating in Qiu Wei this year. Except for her elder brother Shanqing and her little uncle, Li Yu and He Zheng are going together. Even Li Ang, who has just passed the examination as a scholar, wants to go. Give it a try, although the chance of winning is almost zero, but the most important thing is to participate and feel the atmosphere of Qiu Wei.

This year's Hungry Ghost Festival, Mrs. Li also bought six catties of yellow paper in advance, offering incense and so on, which are several times that of previous years. Burned.

When Mrs. Li was burning the paper, she also talked a lot to the old man below. She came and went to bless Shanqing in one fell swoop, and it would be best to get a Jieyuan back, to honor the ancestors and the lintel.

Li Meier was a little strange listening, and couldn't help asking: "Grandmother, brother Shanqing's surname is Jiang, and the ancestors of the Jiang family are the ones who want to bless him. What's the use of asking your grandfather to bless you?"

Mrs. Li turned her head and waited for her with an angry look, "What do you know, I'm not all because of you!"
