Spring is full of Jinghua

Chapter 356 Tanhualang

Zheng Yu ignored Meng Cimo, staring blankly at the half moon in the sky.

In the melting moonlight, Li Zhenbao's smiling face emerged.Eyebrows like Daisy in distant mountains, eyes like stars, a small pointed chin, a fleshy bulbous nose...

She is not the most beautiful, but she is the most exciting.

Zheng Yu knew that his family had always wanted him to marry Li Zhenbao.Their marriage was mainly based on politics, but he was unwilling to link his marriage with politics, and had always had emotional conflicts, and he had always pretended not to see Li Zhenbao's feelings for him.

During the past six months, Zhenbao was seriously ill, seeing her life hanging by a thread several times, and seeing her crippled by illness, his heart ached, and he wished to bear all the pain for her, and he also knew his own feelings...

Zheng Yu's eyes were soft.

Meng Cimo laughed and said, "Missing girls again? When Princess Zhenbao returns to vulgarity, it's time for men and women to marry."

Zheng Yu didn't deny it any more, and walked forward with big strides.

At dawn the next day, Meng Cimo and Zheng Yu came to Huzhuang.

Li Zhenbao knew that Zheng Yu and Meng Cimo would come to have breakfast, so it was rare that he didn't sleep in, and got up at dawn.

The morning sun has not yet risen, and everything in the world is shrouded in the thin morning light.The morning breeze is blowing, with the fragrance of flowers and humidity.There is still mist on the ground, the chimneys are emitting smoke, and the chickens, sheep and cats in the outer courtyard are merrily screaming... The beauty of Huzhuang in the early morning is full of fireworks.

Li Zhenbao took a deep breath and jumped again.My confused mind suddenly cleared up, and I felt full of vitality.

Since his previous life, Li Zhenbao loved to sleep in. Even if he had to get up early for school, he was half asleep and half awake with a muddled mind, and he basically didn't pay attention to what happened in the morning.I have been treating and recuperating my whole life, let alone paying attention to it.

Today is the first time I realized what is the vigor and vigor, why the ancients said that the plan of a day lies in the morning...

Jiang Yixi was tending flowers and plants in the yard and made a lot of dirt.

She smiled and asked, "Didn't sleep much?"

Li Zhenbao said very virtuously, "I want to make some delicious food for brother Zheng, sister, and brother-in-law Meng."

Jiang Yixi was flattered, washed her hands in the copper basin, and entered the kitchen with Li Zhenbao.

Li Zhenbao made a preserved egg porridge and steamed five small bowls of steamed eggs.

There is no meat in the preserved egg porridge, but mushrooms and a little vegetable leaves are added.The steamed eggs are made of goat's milk. I was afraid that the goat's milk would have a smell, so I boiled it with almonds first.

By the time Meng Cimo and Zheng Yu arrived, it was already daylight and breakfast was ready.

Several people naturally praised the preserved egg porridge and steamed eggs.

The water droplets in the kitchen are particularly good. I have to admire, "It turns out that goat milk can be steamed with eggs, and the steamed ones are more tender than tofu."

After the meal, Zheng Yu and Li Zhenbao were sent away, and Jiang Yixi's family took Huahua back to the capital.

Meng Cimo didn't ride a horse, but shared a carriage with Jiang Yixi, and told what the Zheng family meant for Jiang Xun.

The Zheng family really disagreed.

Jiang Yixi has reached this result, disappointed and sad.

After a long time, she said, "Xun'er is so good, but fate is always bad."

Meng Cimo heaved a long sigh and took her into his arms.

On March [-]th, the Martial Arts Hall Examination started.

The palace examination was held in the palace, and Meng Cimo, the martial arts examination, could see it.But Meng Cimo is on duty today and will not come back at night.

In the afternoon, he asked Meng Lianshan to go home and tell the old man and Jiang Yixi that Jiang Xun's performance in the martial arts test was as usual, but he was still slightly weaker in "Qiaoguan".If the policy question is tested as usual, the ranking will not be ideal.

This is what was expected.Although Jiang Xun practiced martial arts diligently, he was too young, and he didn't work hard since he was a child. "Strength" has always been his weakness.

Jiang Yixi and the old man pinned their hopes on policy questions.

In the evening, when everyone was eating in Fu'an Hall, the mother-in-law reported, and Meng Qingshan reported something.

It must be an examination question for reporting "policy questions".After the exam, the exam questions are no longer secrets.

The old man asked Meng Qingshan to come in and answer.

Meng Qingshan said that the policy questions were about the war in the west.

Both the old man and Jiang Yixi were overjoyed.

The old man told Jiang Xun the most about this aspect, he even talked about every battle, Meng Cimo and Zheng Ji also talked about it.This can be regarded as betting on the right question in advance.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Xun should have answered well.

The old man was happy and drank a few more glasses of wine.

The next day, the old Duke came to Fushengju, he knew that Jiang Xun would definitely come here today.

At noon, Jiang Xun came.Seeing his smiling face, he knew he did well in the exam.

He bowed to the ground to the old Duke, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandfather Meng, for your kindness in rebuilding."

Jiang Xun recited his answers.

The old Duke was very satisfied, "That's right, if there are no accidents, Xun'er's ranking will be raised a lot."

Jiang Yixi couldn't help but rolled up her sleeves and went to the small kitchen to cook the old man's favorite dishes.

Two days later, a list was posted outside the Dongchangshun Gate, the most prosperous place in the capital.

Jiang Yixi sent Wu Dagui to look at the list.

Jiang Xun will not go to the East Changshun Gate. The 98 Wu Gongshi will wait outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the servants will roll their names.Afterwards, the emperor bestowed a piece of armor and a waist knife, directly granted him an official position, rewarded all Jinshi with silver taels, and gave him a "Qiong Lin Banquet".Tomorrow, the Ministry of War will take the lead to protect the No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] players parading across the street...

Early in the morning, the old man came to Fushengju again to wait for news.

He hugged Yin'er in the corridor and looked forward to it. Xiao Cuncun and Huahua also stretched their necks and looked at the gate, hoping that uncle would get good grades.

At the beginning of noon, Wu Dagui ran into the gate with a happy face.

He laughed loudly, "Congratulations to grandma, congratulations to grandpa, uncle won Tanhua, he is the youngest Tanhualang in this dynasty."

Jiang Xun is the old man's student, so congratulations to him are not wrong.

Not to mention that Jiang Yixi did not expect this good result, even the old man did not expect it, so he was overjoyed.

Jiang Yixi and the old man each rewarded Wu Dagui with two taels of silver.

Fushengju suddenly became lively, and all the servants came to kowtow to them.

Jiang Yixi asked people to reward people with silver coins, and the old man asked people to prepare congratulatory gifts and send them to Jiang's family, and he also asked people to prepare more than a dozen tables of noodles at night, and the master and servants congratulated together.

This scene only happened when Meng Ciyu was admitted to Juren.

After the masters heard about it, they all came to Fushengju to congratulate Jiang Yixi, even the old lady came.

Jiang Yixi asked someone to prepare the table again, and set up a few tables at Fushengju at noon.

Seeing this scene, the old lady's eyes turned red, and she thought of Meng You and Meng Wu who were thousands of miles away.

The old lady asked the old man how the two children are doing now.The old man didn't answer, he just said that as long as those two people don't exist, it's fine for them to be well.

Huang Xin came to ask the old lady, "Grandmother, Auntie Xiu and I want to see Uncle Tanhua ride a horse through the streets tomorrow."

Meng Lan and Meng Shuang also said they wanted to go. They had seen that grand scene when they were young.

Meng Tingling, Meng Zhaoan, and Meng Zhaocun were afraid that they would not be taken with them, so they all jumped up and shouted, "We are going too."

Meng Zhaocun added, "My sister is going too, take my sister."

The old lady had a headache from the noise and shook her head again and again, "How can I do that, the street is too chaotic."

　The second watch is at noon.
