Chapter 244 Ten Days Later

"Imperial Examination? There is such a thing?"

Old Mrs. Jiang frowned and asked back suddenly.

Upon hearing this, Boss Jiang quickly explained, which let Old Lady Jiang know that things were bad!
They actually forgot about Lao Wu!
This is no trivial matter!
"Tomorrow you stay at home, Xiao Yunjin and I will go to the academy to check on your fifth brother and see if he needs anything so we can buy it for him!"

Old Mrs. Jiang said this and received the approval of Old Man Jiang and Jiang Yunjin.

It just so happened that Jiang Yunjin also wanted to go see her fifth uncle and ask what she could bring into the imperial examination. She remembered that the exam would last for several days in a row, and after taking a rest, she would have to continue taking the exams.

She had to prepare some food for her fifth uncle. If he was not full, how could he have the energy to do well in the exam?

But she didn't tell this to Old Mrs. Jiang.

She could see that her grandmother was now panicking.

The next day.

As soon as the sun rose, Jiang Yunjin got up.

After breakfast, Old Lady Jiang asked a servant who could drive a horse-drawn carriage and took the two of them straight to a famous academy in the capital.

The carriage wobbled and it took nearly two quarters of an hour to reach the gate of the academy.

At this moment, there were many students entering the academy from outside.

Old Madam Jiang got off the carriage and came to the front of the academy. She saluted the teacher standing in front of the door. Facing his curious gaze, she said, "Master, please tell them that Jiang Zhiyuan's mother is here to look for him!"

When the teacher heard this, he looked Old Mrs. Jiang up and down, and thinking she looked familiar, he nodded, turned around and went to call for help.

The students coming and going stopped curiously to look at what the grandparents and grandchildren were doing. Just as a group of people were whispering, Jiang Zhiyuan arrived.

"Mom? Why are you here? What happened?"

Jiang Zhiyuan had no idea why the old lady came. He thought something had happened at home and his expression instantly became nervous.

The old lady smiled cheerfully and immediately pulled the man into her carriage.

After the car curtain was lowered, Mrs. Jiang spoke with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Zhiyuan, I just want to ask you, when will the imperial examination begin?"

When Old Mrs. Jiang said this, she obviously felt lacking in confidence, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Jiang Zhiyuan saw his mother's actions and immediately found it funny. He covered his mouth and chuckled, then said, "Mom, the imperial examination will be held in ten days. The date was just set two days ago. I don't know why, this year's time is much later than in previous years."

He really didn't understand this matter, but the time had been set.

When Mrs. Jiang heard that there were still ten days left, she felt relieved. Fortunately, she had time to prepare everything.

"Okay, okay, there's still time. Hurry up and give me a list so I can help you prepare some things! I also need to make some dry food in two days so you can eat it when the exam starts!"

"Thank you for all the trouble!"

The Jiang family's carriage was equipped with pens, ink, paper and inkstone. When Jiang Zhiyuan said this, Old Lady Jiang handed the paper and pen to him, waiting for him to write down what he needed.

There was one person who didn't listen at all to what the mother and son were saying!
She was thinking about how to make some dry food that could be eaten inside.

This dry food is different from the dry and hard food eaten in ancient times! It can fill the stomach and is warm!

Originally, she just wanted to make some dried meat to help her uncle replenish his energy.

Now it seems that we can’t just make jerky.

but…

The first thing that came to her mind was instant noodles! This thing was also popular all over the country in later generations!

She has to make her own!
If it was earlier, she definitely wouldn't have been able to do it! But!
Not long before coming here, she had seen someone recreate the process of making instant noodles, and she remembered the entire process!
As for whether she can do it, she must try more. Fortunately, she still has time to waste.

After Jiang Zhiyuan finished talking to the old lady, he exchanged a few words with the little girl. Looking at the little girl's thin appearance, a trace of heartache flashed across his eyes.

"Look at you, you have gained so much weight with so much effort, but now it's getting thin again! You can't work so hard in the future. Even if there is something that needs to be done, just tell your father to do it!"

After Jiang Zhiyuan finished speaking, he reminded the little girl to eat well, then turned around and hurried back to the academy.

After meeting the fifth son Jiang Zhiyuan, Mrs. Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

She looked down at the papers in her hands, which were all things for daily necessities, so she simply bought them in advance.

"Xiao Yunjin, do you want to go shopping with your grandma, or go back to the shop to play?" Old Mrs. Jiang asked tentatively.

"Grandma, I want to follow you. I suddenly remembered how to make some dry food!"

"Dry food?" asked Old Mrs. Jiang puzzledly.

Didn't dry food always come with dry biscuits? Could there be any new ideas?

But if it was someone else, Old Mrs. Jiang would definitely not believe it, but if it was Jiang Yunjin, Old Mrs. Jiang would definitely believe it with all her heart.

"Okay, whatever you need, grandma will buy it for you!"

"We need some fashionable vegetables, flour, and most importantly, beef and butter!"

Beef and butter are what she lacks the most. If she has these two, she will definitely have confidence.

Old Mrs. Jiang was still confident about the first few ingredients, but when she heard about beef, she couldn't help but pause for a moment.

There are still ten days left, and we will be able to find beef and butter. If we really can't find them, then there is nothing we can do.

"Okay! Let's go to the shop first and tell our family about this so that they can help us find beef and butter!"

Although she didn't know what the little girl was going to do, she still chose to support her.

After receiving the order, the servant turned the carriage around and headed straight for Jiang's shop.

At this moment, the Jiang family's shop was extremely prosperous and the Jiang family members were busy as a whirlwind.

When they saw Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Yunjin coming, they were only surprised for a moment and then quickly went about their own business.

After they were a little less busy, the Jiang family members quickly came to the old lady and Jiang Yunjin.

"Mom, why are you here today? Did something happen at home?" Jiang Laoer asked with a puzzled look on his face.

The old lady just went back two days ago, and she came back before she could even stand firmly on her feet. Something must have happened.

Old Mrs. Jiang then told the story of Old Five.

When Jiang Laoer and his companions heard that Laowu's imperial examination would be in ten days, and they could see Laowu almost every few days, no one remembered this.

"Mom, what does Lao Wu need? I'll go get it!"

Mrs. Jiang Dasao and Mrs. Jiang Ersao looked at each other and spoke their minds.

The two of them have raised the fifth child since he was a child, so they naturally treat him like their own brother!

What’s the big deal about buying something for Lao Wu?
Unexpectedly, the old lady politely declined the two people's kindness.

"You don't need to worry about this. I have nothing to do anyway. I can go by myself!"
