Chapter 423 Mouthwatering Fat Meat

As long as the son is admitted as a Jinshi master next year, the family will have nothing to worry about.

When Mrs. Li thought that she would soon be promoted to Jinshi his mother, she couldn't restrain her heartbeat!
The three discussed it, and the matter was settled.As for Jiang Youzhi and Jiang Shanqing's opinion, they only need to be responsible for taking the merit test. If they have this time, it is better to read two more pages of books so that they can pass the Jinshi test next year.They don't need to worry about these things, just listen to the arrangements of the women.

Aunt Zhuang returned home full of resentment, and after sending her two granddaughters back to the house, she sulked herself. Uncle Zhuang came back at night and asked her about her visit to Li's house.

"Don't mention it, before I said that, my sister-in-law came back and said that the family had married the two children a long time ago. Let me see, just wait for Meier, girl and Ji, and the two We're married."

Uncle Zhuang had already expected it, so he let out a hey and laughed, "As for you, sister-in-law, you are usually a bit picky, but you are not confused at all. First let the wind say that Mr. Shanqing's marriage has to be given to Mr. Jiang Being the master, one word scares away most of the people, so it's not good to mention Shanqing's marriage with her, but after turning around, she betrothed her girl to Shanqing. She is really rich Where is the outsider Tian?"

"This is also human nature. If our family has this opportunity, are you willing to let outsiders go?" Aunt Zhuang also accepted her fate, and only sighed that her family did not have such a good life as her sister-in-law's family.

"That's true." Uncle Zhuang twitched his beard, and said to his old wife: "This is just a trivial matter, but the Lu family is going to arrange naturalization for Brother Yu sometime."

"I don't know how many times I've been to the Lu's house, but the eldest wife never let go. When she was sick, she didn't see anyone. Even if Susu wanted to intercede, she had to see someone first." Aunt Zhuang also said the same thing. Worry, this grandson is almost eight years old, and the Lu family has not let go of his naturalization. Although he has the status of a young master, his name is not right. If he studies and becomes an official in the future, he will inevitably be looked down upon.

Uncle Zhuang frowned when he heard the words, and asked again: "Susu can't let the uncle beg the old lady. After all, the uncle is the old lady's own son, and brother Yu is also the old lady's own grandson. How can it be so unknown? Not in vain."

"Why didn't you say it? The son-in-law has said it so many times. The old lady just won't let go, saying that the eldest wife is the aunt, and she can only be naturalized with the consent of the aunt." Aunt Zhuang said with a sad face.

Uncle Zhuang sighed, and said helplessly, "It's because our family background is too low. If there is an official in our family, the Lu family would not dare to belittle us like this." Thinking that none of his sons were educated, Uncle Zhuang My heart suddenly became worried again.

"Brother Liang, what's going on in the academy now? If it's almost ready, I'll try to be a scholar next year." Uncle Zhuang said again, Brother Liang is his third grandson, and he is finally more promising than the first two elder brothers. He has a talent for reading and is currently studying at Qingfeng Academy.

"I think brother Liang's energy is pretty much the same. At most, we will ask the masters of the academy to give him a good start before the next year's scholar test." Aunt Zhuang still has some confidence in her grandson. road.

"Hey, why don't you say that Wenquxing didn't fall into our house?" Aunt Zhuang thought of the Li family's Wenquxing who had just met Yuan, and her heart turned sour with envy.

"Everyone has their own destiny, that's all right, don't be envious, just urge Brother Liang to study hard." Uncle Zhuang said more openly than the old wife.

Here, Jiang Shanqing, the star of Wenqu who is being talked about by Aunt Zhuang, is attending the Luming Banquet.

The banquet was presided over by Mr. Fei, the county magistrate. In addition to the banquet for the new imperial examination candidates, the examiners of the scientific examination were also invited. It can be said that it was very lively.

The main dishes of the Lu Ming Banquet are made of venison, which can be said to be a very novel dish for ordinary students, but Jiang Shanqing has never eaten any rare animals, and he has never liked meat , it is just a taste of it.Because he is Jie Yuan and sits closest to the county magistrate, the magistrate Fei pays close attention to him.

"Shanqing, is this dish not to your liking?" Fei Zhixian asked with a gentle smile.

Jiang Shanqing immediately put down his chopsticks and got up to answer.

Fei Zhixian waved his hand and said: "Today's banquet is just for drinking and having fun, there is no need to be formal, just sit and talk."

Jiang Shanqing didn't continue to get up, but just replied respectfully: "If you go back to the county, the dishes are very delicious, but I have eaten something before coming to the banquet, so I am not too hungry now."

Fei Zhixian nodded with a smile, changed the subject and asked, "Shanqing is fifteen years old this year, right? Such a young age, he is truly a formidable young man."

Jiang Shanqing replied modestly again and again, "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it."

"I know that your father is now an official in the Imperial Academy in the capital. Speaking of which, your father and I are considered to be the same age. Back then, we were Jinshi in the same discipline." Fei Zhixian said while stroking the three strands of hair.

Jiang Shanqing didn't expect that his adoptive father and this Fei Zhi County had such a relationship, and he had never heard this Fei Zhi County mention it before, and if he didn't know about Yuan, he wouldn't have remembered it.

"Your father has been an official in the capital for many years, and he would never have the opportunity to handle lifelong affairs for you..." Fei Zhixian talked for a long time, finally expressing his ultimate goal.

Jiang Shanqing's reaction was faster than his, and he immediately said: "The student and the cousin of the aunt's family have arranged a baby marriage since they were young. My father also knows about this. It's my engagement ceremony with my cousin."

Fei Zhixian frowned slightly when he heard the words, his tone lost the enthusiasm just now, and he said slowly: "Shanqing, you are still young, you don't understand the importance of marriage to a man, and you are so naive Even if you are a genius, you will definitely have a bright future in the future, and you have to carefully consider the important matter of marriage, so you don't have to decide it so early."

However, Jiang Shanqing didn't seem to understand the metaphor in Fei Zhixian's words, and said very firmly: "Thank you for your teaching, the county lord, but my cousin and I are in love with each other, and we are childhood sweethearts. We grew up together, and we have long agreed not to marry Feiqing, a man Man, you can’t break your word if you say it.”

Seeing Jiang Shanqing's resolute attitude, Fei Zhixian didn't say anything, but his attitude towards him became much colder in an instant, and he turned to talk to another student.

Jiang Shanqing breathed a sigh of relief, just sat down, but suddenly someone beside him asked: "Is the cousin you are talking about Miss Li?"
