Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 76
The two tables were arranged not far away, Jiang Wenyuan said some polite words, and opened the table.

Jiang Jiuying has not eaten so many delicious foods at the same time for a long time. Anyway, gauze curtains are hung around the gazebo, so people outside can't see what's going on inside. Almost can't keep up with what she ate.

Ning is well aware of her daughter's foodie nature, so she dotingly picked up a piece of her daughter's favorite bamboo shoot, put it in her bowl, and said in a low voice, "Eat slowly, so that outsiders can see what it looks like."

Jiang Jiuying's head nodded, and the speed of eating finally slowed down.Her appetite is average, and if she eats so fast, she will be full soon, and she can't leave the table before the guests stop eating. Wouldn't it be boring to just sit around.

Jiang Wenyuan outside was like an accompanying guest, Jiang Chengfu pulled Zhao Dongli and talked non-stop.

The two are about the same age, and they both belong to the dandy temperament who does not want to work hard and make progress, and glorify their ancestors. No matter how good their nature is, they are not bad. The three views are compatible, and many things can be talked together.

Jiang Chengfu was really grateful to Zhao Dongli, if it wasn't for him, he would have talked about whether he could sit here comfortably, so he sincerely expressed a little intimacy, but he was afraid that the other party might suspect that this intimacy had other purposes, so he hesitated.

Who is Zhao Dongli? He grew up in the Duke's mansion and has an unreliable father. Although he is protected by his mother and elder brother, he has seen countless people. Even if he has not experienced the world, he has seen it. How can he not tell the difference? Come out and others are close to the so-called what.

He has seen too many faces that want to cling to, so Jiang Chengfu's innocent expression made him let down his guard.

He is not a person who believes in the theory of only family background, but people in the world are too busy. He is afraid that all sincerity will be lost in the end, which will only cause sadness. Only a common circle can communicate with peace of mind.

But when he really meets someone who feels like him, he is also very happy to make friends with him. Jiang Chengfu just meets this standard, knows how to measure, knows etiquette, and is relatively simple.

If Jiang Jiuying knew Zhao Dongli's thoughts, he would definitely say, what you said is correct, his second brother has these advantages, commonly known as silly white sweet.

With the kindness of the host, the guests are also very cooperative, and the host and guest have a good time.

After drinking the willow shoots on the moon, Zhao Dongli staggered, and Feimo assisted him in the sedan chair to go home. Jiang Chengfu still called from behind: "Brother Dongli, let's meet again another day, wait until I bring my Jiumeitu I'm going to find you, and treat you to a stewed three delicacies!"

Zhao Dongli smiled sincerely, thinking that his days in Anqing should not be so boring in the future.

In order to regain his freedom as soon as possible and exchange for the Nine Beautiful Pictures, Jiang Chengfu really buried his head in his books, obsessed with learning, and often asked his father for advice, which is a bit of a hardworking attitude.

The current focus of the whole family's work has become to assist Jiang Chengfu to pass the college examination and obtain the title of scholar.

Ning's management includes food, clothing, housing and transportation, ensuring that her son gets the best care so that he can concentrate on his studies.

Recently, the yamen has been idle, and it is far from necessary for Jiang Wenyuan to come forward for the small case of gossip and robbery. Therefore, he is very disrespectful and often skips work to go home to prescribe small troubles for his son.

In fact, Jiang Chengfu is smart. What he learned from the beginning at the age of four or five has been honed over the years. As long as he practices more and writes articles, don't come up with whimsy.

Jiang Jiuying couldn't do anything else to help, and she herself didn't bother to read about it, so she could only find another way, torment her by asking questions—oh no, help the second brother.

It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There is a big exam every three years, and a small exam every year. The children's exam is held every year. The scope of questions can only be limited to the basics of the Four Books and Five Classics. After so many years of exams, the questions are getting more and more It's getting weirder and weirder.

After collecting the exam questions in recent years, the corners of Jiang Jiuying's mouth never stopped twitching. The method that some pervert came up with to compose the questions, was able to put together two irrelevant sentences. thing.

Isn't this torture.

Jiang Jiuying may not be able to come up with a normal question, but she can do it in terms of divergent thinking, no matter how abnormal it is.

So when Jiang Chengfu was forced to do the exams, June came, and the college exam was approaching day by day.

With tears in his eyes, he looked forward to it day and night, and finally it was the day to enter the examination room. Jiang Chengfu thought in his heart that if he didn't pass the exam this time, he might not survive the next exam and would be tossed to death by his younger sister.

If you don't succeed, you will succeed. Jiang Chengfu walked into the examination room.

Jiang Jiuying, who enjoyed dressing up as a man, sat impatiently in her carriage and waited, so she found a tavern to breathe.

The college examination is not long, only three subjects, one day is enough.

Just think about June Tian sitting in a one-meter-square cubicle, if you are unlucky, you may be next to the toilet number, Jiang Jiuying feels sorry for her brothers. It is really not easy for men in this era. I don't know how much thinner it is than the single-plank bridge.

And look at the people who took the exam, there are also old people in their 70s and [-]s with white beard and hair, and you can see how difficult it is.

The tavern was also bustling at this time, and those who could study and take the imperial examination were at least from families who did not have to worry about food and clothing, and those who were really poor were definitely very few and could be ignored.

Therefore, this small tavern with a good location is already full at this time, and some people start to share tables in twos and threes.

Having learned the lesson of being beaten up in the street, when Jiang Jiuying came out this time, Ning arranged for several people to surround her, and it was not easy to mess with at first glance, but no one dared to come and sit with her.

Jiang Jiuying simply ordered more appetizers, so as not to let the boss suffer, everyone can sit down and share some food.

Kikyo and Lonicera sat down, the others were men after all, and it was inappropriate to sit at the same table as a girl, so they stayed behind, and the rest retreated outside the shop to wait.

Sitting next to each other were two pairs of brothers and four men. They had a lot of topics together, from beauties, to exams, and finally food.

These four people are also delicious people. They can count all the famous delicacies in Anqing Mansion. After commenting on them, Jiang Jiuying is a little bit fascinated. She can't wait to buy a piece of food that she has never eaten before.

"There is a steamed pancake shop in Donggui Lane. The mutton stuffing is so delicious that people will never forget it after eating it once." One of them was slightly nostalgic and slightly regretful.

"What's so special about mutton, don't you eat mutton steamed cakes every day?" People at that time loved to eat mutton, thinking that what sheep ate was grass, it was the cleanest, and it was much higher grade than pork. host.

Mutton buns can be seen everywhere, restaurants and small stalls, each one makes them, each has its own characteristics, and they can always exist. Almost all of them taste good, and they are not considered new things.

"It's a country bun. The stuffing includes not only mutton, but also venison and raccoon dog meat, and even sea fish. The meat is mixed together. It is very delicious and has no strange smell. Hey, don't believe me. Yes, you go to Donggui Lane to find out for yourself, and you will know the truth of what I said once you taste it."

This aroused Jiang Jiuying's interest.
