Chapter 717
On March 15, 2018, Jinglong, the spring examination was held. The gate of the Gongyuan gate located in Yanshoufang Taigong Temple was full of people. The three sisters of the Jiang family sat in a carriage and saw their second sister and Liao Chuanrui standing under the green willows on the side of the road. In the distance, at the gate of the Gongyuan, Jiang Erye, wearing a bright red official robe, was chatting with the families of the children who came to take the exam with a smile.
"Yes, the meals of three meals are still two dishes and one soup, but they are different from the dishes during the autumn examination, and they are all bought at this time of energy saving."
"Sir, do you still have meat and vegetables?" A white-haired old woman spoke in the accent of Yingtianfu and carefully asked her grandson if she could eat meat after entering the tribute courtyard.
Mr. Jiang patiently replied, "Yes, meat dishes include pork and cabbage stewed with tofu, minced meat stir-fried tofu, shredded meat stir-fried celery, shredded meat stir-fried garlic sprouts, etc., which are not greasy dishes. You always know that too greasy food is not easy to digest after eating."
The old woman said gratefully, "What the adults said is that my grandson tastes delicious pork, cabbage, and tofu."
Mr. Jiang Erjun looked at the thirty-year-old pick who was standing next to the old man, wearing a new dress, and nodded with a smile, "There are ten kinds of meat, vegetables and vegetarian dishes. After entering, choose a menu of three meals a day, and then the Gongyuan will deliver the meals on time as required."
"Thank you, Lord Jiang." The disciple hurriedly bowed his hand.
Mr. Jiang nodded with a smile, becoming the most beautiful scenery outside the willow green walls of the Gongyuan Courtyard, instantly harvesting the hearts of women and girls from other places who came to Beijing to take the exam.
Jiang Liu looked at her pleasing father with a proud look on her face.
Jiang Muyan recalled the spring exam three years ago when she was in the presidency. At that time, her sister was almost kidnapped by someone hired by Meng San. They were locked up in the mansion and could not come to take the exam for her father. Three years later, her father was already a fifth-rank commander and was in charge of the tribute school. Jiang Muyan held her sister's little hand and looked proud.
"Here, here!" Jiang Mujin said in a low voice again, "The disciples from Jiangnan East Road in Fenghua Tower are here!"
Amid the noise, Liu Juntang was helped to walk towards the gate of the Gongyuan. His head was lowered and he couldn't even walk. Everyone was worried whether he could walk out of the Gongyuan gate in three days.
Seeing that his fiancée's gaze also turned to Liu Juntang, Liao Chuanrui was unhappy and coughed quietly to attract his fiancée's attention. Jiang Muzheng immediately looked back at him and whispered, "I'm catching a cold, add another robe to wait?"
Liao Chuanrui's mouth had just raised up, and he heard his mother say, "Don't worry, Zheng'er, he is not afraid of cold, but just opened his mouth and accidentally ate willow catkins, and his throat was itchy."
Liao Chuanrui...
Jiang Muzheng couldn't help but smile, raised her hand and took the water bag in the maid's hand, and handed it over, "Brother Liao drinks some water to moisten his throat."
"Okay, okay." Liao Chuanrui took the water bag and whispered, "Don't worry, I will definitely beat it. Have I gone?"
"Just these few steps, why are you anxious?" Liao's mother grabbed her son, afraid that after he passed by, she would pass Liu Juntang's illness.
There were many families with this idea, so wherever Liu Juntang went, there were only two Liu family managers who were supporting him within a radius of one foot. Seeing him like this, Liu Xi, who was hiding in the carriage in the distance, pulled the handkerchief in his hand hard, and his eyes were full of disappointment.
Unexpectedly, Liu Juntang was a useless waste. Such a thing would have crushed him. If he could not pass the imperial examination, no matter how handsome he was, he would not be able to marry a waste. For him, he not only wasted his efforts, but he was also controlled by the bitch Liu Ruyan. If he had known this, he would have married into the Du Mansion!
Mr. Jiang Er walked to Liu Juntang without hesitation and asked softly, "Can you hold on to your body?"
Liu Juntang raised his hand with difficulty, but he was angry but not strong. "Thank you for asking, I... hold on... cough cough... can hold on."
Mr. Jiang was serious and said seriously, "You must hold on, and you can rest after you go in."
Liu Juntang understood it and coughed a few times "involuntarily", which scared the sirens who had already avoided the distance and took a few steps back.
"Cousin..." Zhao Rumei, who was standing in the crowd, spoke with sobs.
Her mother, Li, immediately shouted, "What are you doing on a great day! Juntang, you can take the exam with peace of mind. Don't forget to boil the medicine you brought in on time."
Liu Juntang turned his head tremblingly and nodded to his aunt with a smile. His little waxy face and unsightly eyes did not have the glow of the second handsome man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which made everyone sigh and made many secretly happy.
When Jiangnan East Road Jieyuan Road, the current academic performance will definitely fail.
"What a pity, what a pity..." Jiang Mujin couldn't help but shake her head. Jiang Muyan also felt regretful. Jiang Liu stared at her father's face and raised her hand to pinch her chin. Something was wrong. Why did Dad look secretly happy?
"Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-" Three long bells came from the gong courtyard, and everyone outside the gong courtyard immediately calmed down and looked up at the gate of the gong courtyard.
The door was open, and the undergraduate examiner Yin Qian took the examiners out and carried out the imperial edict. Everyone immediately knelt down and listened to the Xuanhou. Yin Qian also seriously explained the rules of the scientific examination, and then ordered thousands of students to line up for inspection and enter the venue. In order to influence the others, Liu Juntang was ranked last to enter the venue. During the long wait, he was first supported and stood there, but later he sat on a chair, with his head hanging down.
Seeing Liu Juntang's attitude, the people who bet on him to win the Jinshi or even the top scorer were heartbroken. The shopkeepers of various casinos were very happy. While raising Liu Juntang's chances of winning the Jinshi, the odds of winning the No. 1 picking up the people who did not come to the tribute court to place bets, while using abacus beads to calculate how much money they could earn from Liu Juntang.
After the calculation, the shopkeepers of the casinos were refreshed. "It's not too much, but they can finally get back the money they lost on Mr. Jiang three years ago."
When Mr. Jiang saw these people's smug look, he was already smiling. Liu Juntang is really a good disciple who knows the general, understands the overall situation, can read, and can perform. It is time for the third brother to go to various casinos to place bets secretly.
After returning to the mansion in the evening, Mr. Jiang Er was stopped by his little daughter before he could find his third brother.
Jiang Liu Taohua's eyes lit up with her father's sleeve, dragged him to a place where no one was there, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, which one did you sing in front of the Gongyuan today?"
Mr. Jiang widened his peach blossom eyes, "You actually saw it. Are you very obvious for your father?"
"No." Jiang Liu shook his head, "The uncle didn't go, and the grandmother didn't go either. I guess only my daughter could see it clearly except Jiang Houer."
Fortunately, it’s okay. Mr. Jiang was so lucky that he slapped his chest and patted him. He thought he was not tense and had a big deal.
"Dad?"
Mr. Jiang looked down at his cute little daughter, and couldn't help but say something in his heart for two months, "Liu'er."
"Um!"
"Liu Juntang."
"What's wrong with Liu Juntang?"
"His illness is pretending."
Jiang Liu was stunned at first, then ecstatic, "Dad thinks he can pass the Jinshi?"
