The landowner's wife of the imperial examination

Chapter 119 I Seem Pretty Good
Zhou Lan and Chang Le walked around the Zhuangzi with their second brother-in-law, and the three of them felt relaxed, which was rare and interesting.

Jiang's second brother-in-law was very poetic, and he even added two sour poems, which made Zhou Lan's heart itch.

It's not that he wants to compose a poem, but he wants to ask what level the second brother-in-law's poetry is in the academy.

Zhou Lan weighed it roughly, although both the husband and his own father said that his literary talent was really average, but compared with the second brother-in-law, a scholar, Zhou Lan's own taste is not too bad.

Jiang's second brother-in-law looked at Zhou Lan in a daze, so he kindly comforted Zhou Lan: "Sister-in-law, don't be impatient. Don't worry about poetry and prose. In the future, when you touch the scene, you will naturally have it at your fingertips."

Hearing what the second brother-in-law said, he was quite confident.

Zhou Lan said modestly: "I still need my second brother-in-law to point me out."

Jiang's second brother-in-law took care of everything: "I can't study for my brother, only this poem has one or two opinions. My brother-in-law can just rest assured."

Ah, that is to be very confident in your own literary talent.At the level of the second brother-in-law, where is the confidence?

Zhou Lanxin said, no matter what, you have to be a first-class literary talent in the county school to boast like this, so measure yourself, do I also have this talent.

But if my own father was wrong, could my husband be wrong too?Zhou Lanxin said that she was commented by two respected people.

The two elders have both told him that if his literary talents are not good enough, he should work harder on his writing.Make the most of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses?

Zhou Lan couldn't understand, whether my poems would work or not.

When returning to the study, Zhou Lan picked up a pen and copied the poem written by the second brother-in-law and gave it to the second brother-in-law.

Jiang's second brother-in-law was overjoyed: "You and my brother-in-law really complement each other, and my brother-in-law's handwriting is really good."

Question: I don't think your poetry is very good.Zhou Lan was always depressed.

Seeing off Jiang's second brother-in-law and his wife, Zhou Lan was a little distracted while studying.

Jiang Changxi brought goat milk to Chang Le, and Chang Le went to bed after drinking the milk.

When Jiang Changxi and Zhou Lan talked at night, the husband and wife always said a few more words at this time: "It seems that my husband is not interested in studying today."

Zhou Lan was very embarrassed, but the person around her who could talk was her daughter-in-law: "Seeing the literary talent of my second brother-in-law today, I feel a little hesitant."

Jiang Changxi said that it should be due to being compared by others and lacking self-confidence.

Jiang Changxi comforted Zhou Lan: "After all, the second brother-in-law has been a scholar for several years. After a while, my husband's literary talent will not be bad."

Zhou Lan looked up at Jiang Changxi, he didn't mean that, he hesitated to speak.

Jiang Changxi said, my literary talent is not very good, and I also need to comfort Nabo. Can you say that I understand you very much: "Is there anything else that is difficult to say?"

Zhou Lan pulled Jiang Changxi closer and said, "I'm just telling you, I don't think I'm worse than my second brother-in-law."

Ah, co-author, you have found confidence in your second brother-in-law.

Jiang Changxi couldn't recover for a while, so why are you still so entangled: "No, no, what do you mean?"

Zhou Lan: "If it's just like this, it's not enough to make me hesitate, but when my father was there, I said that my literary talent is average. My husband also said that I should be pragmatic and work hard on my articles."

Zhou Lan stared at Jiang Changxi, meaning do you understand that my sudden improvement is due to my father's misreading, and my husband's misreading.

Jiang Changxi blinked, as if he didn't understand.

Zhou Lan: "I see that my brother-in-law is quite confident in his literary talents, and the county schools seem to be outstanding."

That is, otherwise, I would not dare to write poems in a comfortable mood.

Jiang Changxi understood Zhou Lan's thoughts: "I don't think there is anything to worry about. Dad is a senior member of the fourth rank. He has never seen what kind of literary talent. Juren, Jinshi, every three years, there are a lot of them. come out."

Zhou Lanxin said that in the eyes of his wife, it turns out that Juren and Jinshi are so common.

I heard Jiang Changxi say: "Those who can deal with my father and my husband are all talented people. Not to mention the county school, but Baoding Prefecture, how many fourth-rank officials have come out. The second brother-in-law has a good literary talent, but he may not be able to Mr. Jin, into father's eyes."

Zhou Lan: "As you say, Mr. Datong has high expectations for me." Did Daddy compare his poems with Jinshi and others since he was a child?

Jiang Changxi: "Mr.'s disciples naturally have to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Jinshi master. Father expects more from my husband. How can I compare my husband in a small county school?"

That’s true, so it makes sense, Zhou Lan doesn’t think he’s so good at writing, how proud he is, he’s going to be a Jinshi: “I’m going to study.”

Jiang Changxi really didn't mean to encourage Zhou Lan to study hard. To study, you have to relax, and you don't have to study hard.

But after talking about it for a long time, I was stunned, what can I do.

Jiang Changxi: "Uncle is in a restless mood today, it's better to rest earlier and read books for a while."

Zhou Lan: "It's only a few months before the government exam. For me, every moment is time. My husband expects so much from me. I can't really just be a scholar. I should work harder and try my best to make my ranking look good. "

This actually gave me so much pressure.It can only be said that when the father-in-law was still there, he gave the child a good academic foundation. Otherwise, who would dare to have such ambitions during the three-year break.

Jiang Changxi felt sorry for Zhou Lan's situation. If he hadn't met such grandparents, how could he have been delayed like this.

If mother-in-law Lin can be stronger, she will not interrupt her child's studies.

If grandparents and uncles had no selfish intentions, Zhou Lan wouldn't be in the situation he is now.

Jiang Changxi felt distressed for a moment: "It's better for the uncle to settle by Mr.'s side for a few years."

They are young and have opportunities. If Zhou Lan concentrates on studying hard, it is not hopeless to become a blockbuster.

Zhou Lan shook her head: "Since it's over, I should finish it according to the plan, and I have no other choice."

As a husband, as a son, and in the future, he will also be a father. What he wants is security, not a gimmick, and what he wants is responsibility.

What Jiang Changxi thought of was her mother-in-law Lin.Without an identity, I'm afraid it's hard to protect the face of my mother. At the age of teens, Zhou Lan's heart is not easy to be able to calm down and study.

There has been no letter from my uncle recently, and I don't know what the situation is?
I'm afraid it's because of circumstances, because it's hard to say, that Uncle Lin didn't send the letter in time.

Jiang Changxi was afraid that Zhou Lan would think too much: "The capital is a long way from here. There is a lot of rain in this season, and it is inconvenient to exchange letters. It is normal for a few days earlier and later."

Zhou Lan lowered his eyelids, obviously he didn't want to bring up this topic at all, which affected his mood of reading.

Jiang Changxi was also a little embarrassed. In fact, this question cannot be avoided.
