477. The Twenty-nine of the Imperial Capital(1/2)
Chapter 468
He Zijin used to help prepare for the imperial examination for his younger brothers or nephews, but now it is finally his own son's turn. He Zijin is experienced and can do the precautions for this spring examination. The food, clothing, bedding, and examination boxes that A Ye should use for the spring examination were all prepared early. Moreover, for the sake of his son's imperial examination, He Zijin planned to be superstitious and worship the Sanqing.
Mrs. He was very supportive of this. Mrs. He also asked her daughter about this matter and asked when she would go to burn incense for Aye. She also went there. Moreover, in order to show her importance to her grandson, Mrs. He generously prepared ten taels of silver for sesame oil, and prepared to add sesame oil at that time. Please ask the Bodhisattva to bless her grandson with all his life.
He Zijin said, "I believe in the Three Pure Land, so I won't worship Buddhism."
"How can that be done!" Old Madam He has always paid great attention to the incense of Manjushri Bodhisattva. She thought for a while and said, "In this way, you go to the Sanqing, and I will go with your mother. By the way, bring Ah Xing with you." He said to Yu Xing, "You can also pay a visit to Guanyin for a child." He asked his own girl again, "I saw it for Ah Xing last year, and I said it soon. Now this year has passed, why haven't you moved yet?" Is it effective? Watching the girl movies is a bit unreliable, and Old Madam He plans to ask her eldest grandson's wife to use the magic power of Guanyin for a child.
Yu Xing was embarrassed, "Grandma, maybe the opportunity between me and my husband has not come. I can't be anxious about this."
Old Madam He rolled her eyes and said, "I think this girl is not good at calculating, or is it more reasonable to worship the Bodhisattva."
He Zijin didn't mind the old lady's suspicion of her divination ability. She didn't believe it very much. Many times she just said it casually and who would win if she knew it.
However, with the arrangement of Mrs. He, everyone decided to burn incense for A Ye.
Axi and Su Bing also went with her because the Su family sent their servants to the temple to burn incense and add incense and oil. The parents were not around, so Su Bing couldn't say that he went to the temple in person, so he just joined the family. Su Bing not only wanted to help her fiancé, but also helped her second brother.
Su Bing also asked A Xi about it and asked her mother-in-law if she had any gold medals that would help her test fortune, and she planned to ask for one for her second brother.
A Xi said, "It's been done long ago and I've been offering it to you in Sanqing. I'll give it to you later."
Su Bing hurriedly said, "No, no, I'll give it to me the day before entering the venue. It's more effective to offer one in the Sanqing places."
These days, burning incense and worshiping gods is a common behavior. Therefore, He Zijin realized that A Nian was too responsive to Empress Dowager Cao's inviting monks and nuns into the palace. Of course, this may also be the difference between politicians and women in the inner husband.
A Nian has always been cautious.
However, it is obvious that this time the caution was not used on my son.
A Nian was very calm about the eldest son's intention to participate in Enke, and even told his son, "It's normal for me to fail the exam, so don't be too stressed."
A Ye was so angry that he had to look in the mirror from time to time these days. If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were indeed similar to his father, he would have doubted whether he was his father's biological child. Other children's imperial examinations were allowed to calm their hearts and not disturb the common people's affairs. His father would give him a big move before the exam! His father also looked trustworthy, "You are an adult, let's decide on this matter yourself!"
God knows that Aye doesn’t want to make decisions at all, okay!
How could he know whether the throne of the new king is stable or not?
Aye is different from his father, and he doesn't know his father's complicated life experience. If he knew, Aye would definitely admire his mother. Otherwise, as long as his father's ancestral character, who would marry his daughter to his father?
A Ye turned pale over Enke's affairs. He was a young boy, young and vigorous, and had an enterprising heart. He was willing to wait for another three years! Seeing that his second uncle was about to end, he also decided to end!
Although he made a decision on the outcome, how could his mind be unaffected? As a result, his father did not forget to hit him. What does it mean to fail his father? Isn’t it just a breaking dog? A Ye’s goals are all above the top scorer and the second place! He must be able to compete his father! Otherwise, the old man would be too proud!
On the day I entered the venue, I saw my son’s black face with deep sorrow, A Nian cheered on his son, “Don’t be too nervous, just do a normal job, nervousness is easy to get abnormal.”
After drinking the porridge that his mother made, Aye said to his father earnestly, "Dad, I really beg you. Don't talk to me, just give me encouragement."
A Nian smirked, "Okay."
The twins were wearing small red robes, and they were going to send their elder brother into the venue. In the morning, Ji Zhen also came, and Ji Zhen was wearing red robes. A Nian joked, "You can't wear out the wedding dress for getting married, right?"
Ji Zhen smiled, "That's not possible. I have to keep the wedding dress with my sister Xi. My grandmother said that wearing red clothes this day is more prosperous. I bought the materials outside and let the girl sew them." Otherwise, since Ji Zhen grew up, she has rarely made such bright colors of clothes to wear.
The twins said, "The red material is not easy to buy at the moment, and many of the clothing stores have been sold out. Brother Azhen, you can buy it."
"Yes, I ran three streets for Wang Aye." Ji Zhen's words made the Jiang brothers feel bad.
A Ye's lips twitched straight, "Okay, go back, I'll just go by myself."
He Zijin said, "Okay, then you can go."
He Zijin was very straightforward. In order not to increase psychological pressure on her son, she never took the exam or something. As for the twins, she was just joining in the fun. Ji Zhen shook her hand at her brother-in-law and was not going to send her off. He turned around and talked to A Xi sister. He said that her new house had been cleaned up. If her sister had time, he wanted to ask A Xi sister to come over and take a look. If there was any need to repair and renovate it, it would be convenient to make changes while the craftsman was still there.
Ah Xi said, "Eat breakfast first, and we will go after breakfast."
Azhen asked, "What should I eat in the morning, and what to eat?"
"I don't like to drink that. Let's go to Taipingju to eat chicken wontons. Last time I went with my grandfather, it was so delicious."
"Chun, the side dishes there are also good." Ji Zhen said, "I'm off today. After breakfast, let's go to spring. Now the spring is in full swing." Within a few words, A Xi and A Zhen set a whole day's itinerary.
A Nian felt that she was not suitable to stand beside her daughter and son-in-law, and son-in-law Ji said considerately, "Father-in-law, it's still early now. Sister A Xi and I will go there first and send someone to send wontons back later."
A Nian said, "It will be soaked when I send it back. Forget it, let's eat the porridge."
Son-in-law Ji hurriedly said, "Just let the store be wrapped, don't cook it in the pot, and send it now. Let the kitchen cook it and then eat it."
He Zijin was happy to see her daughter and son-in-law approaching her. He Zijin smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't let the kitchen prepare breakfast."
Azhen took Axi to Taipingju for breakfast.
Ah Xi changed her clothes before going out. Although the customs are now open, it is relatively rare for girls to eat outside. Even if there are, there are more men's clothing, otherwise it would be too eye-catching. Ah Xi mainly doesn't want to be looked at by others as a rare thing.
Ah Xi was young and her clothes were bright colors. She made several horse riding outfits every season to facilitate horse riding. Ah Xi chose a peach-red one and stood with Ah Zhen's crimson set. Both of them were handsome, and they were indescribably pleasing to the eye.
A Nian advised Ah Zhen with a very elder style, such as being careful when going out, and coming back soon. Ji Zhen listened carefully and said seriously, "Don't worry, my sister Xi and I were walking outside the city, sitting in the village for a while and then coming back."
After the two of them left, A Nianfang slapped the mustache on his lips and said proudly, "It's really Zhilan Yushu." The son-in-law called Yushu, and his daughter was naturally Zhilan~ A Nian praised her children for being so humble~
He Zijin whispered, "Every time Azhen comes, she will have a stern face."
A Nian said, "Sister doesn't know anything. I, as my father-in-law, naturally have to be more majestic."
He Zijin smiled secretly. People gave birth to children early in this era, like He Zijin, who was still late, and had twins at the age of twenty. Now, He Zijin is in his prime and wants to be his father-in-law and mother-in-law, especially when they are young, so A Nian always pays attention to maintaining the majesty of his elders.
Ji Zhen was born with a face and was very well-known in the imperial capital. In addition, he has been in the imperial capital for many years and has been working in the imperial capital. Taipingju is also a well-known restaurant in the imperial capital. The waiter who welcomed guests quickly stepped forward to say hello when he saw Ji Zhen. Ji Zhen reached out to help A Xi get out of the car, which really scared the waiter. The waiter said, "Today, isn't Mr. Jiang going to end up?" Aye has only been in the imperial capital for a year and has been studying at home for a lot of time. He is also born with a face and has passed the waiting person, so even if he doesn't come much, he still has a deep impression.
"What are your eyes?" Ji Zhen sneered, "Appoint a private room upstairs for us."
The waiter didn't have to think too much and quickly approached the two of them to invite them upstairs.
After entering the private room, the waiter prepared tea. Azhen asked for a few breakfasts and said that he would still pack a hundred packaged wontons and hand them over to Changsui downstairs. The waiter went downstairs to arrange it. Axi then said, "I don't have a lot like my brother, right?"
"I don't think it looks like it, but when you see someone you see less, you will easily get confused at first sight." Ji Zhen poured Ah Xi a cup of tea and said, "You have more than Ah Yejun."
"That's it." Ah Xi said, "Once I went out on a horse, I changed into a horse-riding outfit, and my hair was tied up with a golden crown. As a result, many people outside regarded me as my brother. There were also many girls who threw flowers and scented bags at me, which were more popular with girls than my brother when I went out."
Ji Zhen couldn't help laughing, "What's more than this."
"How can you know that when I change into men's clothes and go out, the girls chase me. But when my mother, my aunt and I go out, some girls don't like me and even say behind my back that I look frivolous." Ah Xi said, "What do they know, but they don't recognize me. Just look at my appearance, they say I'm frivolous. Brother Ah Zhen, who are these people?"
"Don't pay attention to these people. The saints say that you judge the son Yu by his appearance. If you are born well, you will naturally be envied by some petty jealousy."
"I just ignored them." Ah Xi said just as she smiled and said to Ji Zhen, "Let's go to the village. Your village is near the river. The fish and shrimp are the most tender in spring. Dig some wild onions, wild garlic, and the freshest wild vegetables, and take them back to ask Nianglao Wild Vegetable Cakes to eat."
Ji Zhen was a little greedy when he thought about it, and said, "Mother-in-law's skill in pancakes is really first-class. When I was a child, my mother-in-law would have to pancakes for one or two times in spring." After savoring her mother-in-law's good craftsmanship, Ji Zhen said casually, "Speaking of this, my mother told me that most of our hometown eat rice, and few people eat pasta. Why do my mother-in-law knows how to make pasta like this?"
Ah Xi said, "Do you know what books my mother likes to read the most? She loves to read the recipes the most. Not to mention the noodles in the north, even many dishes in Jiangnan, my mother can cook them, and they all learn from the recipes. You think, even those who are pronounced like grandfather like to eat the dishes my mother cooks." Speaking of this, Ah Xi was very proud, and she said, "I will cook better dishes too. Brother Ah Zhen, I will cook them for you at noon."
"Don't, the kitchen knife is so hot, it's not good if it hurts." It should be so heartbreaking.
"No, don't worry." Ah Xi had to show off.
At a moment, the waiter presented the meal, and Azhen asked about the packaging. The waiter replied, "Don't worry, the packaged raw wontons that Xiaodi arranged first, just now, and your parents have already sent them out."
Azhen nodded and sent the waiter down. Azhen and Axi used breakfast together. Because today was the day of the Spring Examination, they saw many people who were taking the exam outside the street coming to Taipingju to have breakfast. Axi also said, "The twins have to go home now. They also like to eat this Taipingju chicken wonton. Once, one person ate two bowls of them, and there were twenty of them. I was afraid that they would support them."
"When the twins were growing, they were always not full at this time. I was like that, and I always had another meal before going to bed at night."
"No, you called me as soon as you ate, otherwise I wouldn't have gained that fat when I was a kid."
Azhen held back her laughed and said, "Where are you getting fat? You are thinner now, the wind is a little stronger. I'm afraid you will be blown away by the wind."
Ah Xi was happy.
Well, there are many saliva in couples. If there is a bystander, it will be boring and stingy, but the two of them find it interesting.
Azhen ordered people to pack breakfast and deliver it to Yue's family. However, the twins who love to eat this Taipingju wonton most refused to eat wontons today. They insisted that everyone in their families drink the first porridge and give their elder brother a blessing in the exam room.
A Nian said, "When I was in the spring exam, I didn't drink any porridge, and I just had the same flower."
The twins didn't believe it and said, "Dad, don't fool people. My ancestors have told us that when you were in the spring exam, you drank the porridge for nine days at home. Otherwise, how could you win the flower?" They all drank the porridge~
Faced with the twins' insistence, A Nian had to give in to the brotherhood. A Nian nodded, "So, let's eat the porridge and wontons together, won't it be enough."
The twins then left the blame, but the twins still asked their mother not to forget to pack a bowl of porridge for their father when they delivered lunch. The twins said, "Once we said, this porridge will last for nine days without losing it."
Ayan suddenly said, "My elder sister and brother-in-law go out and will definitely not drink the porridge."
A Yun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the eldest sister is from the girl's family. She will get married sooner or later, so she won't count it."
He Zijin twitched his lips when he heard this and said to Ah Yun, "What's this? Even if your elder sister gets married, she is still a member of our family."
Ayun now knows some ethics very well. Children are prone to serious things when they encounter problems. Ayun is serious about his mother and said, "Mom, if the eldest sister gets married, she will be from Brother Azhen's family. If the eldest sister is still a family member, she will not let Brother Azhen marry into the family."
Ayan complained, "Brother Azhen comes three times a day, which is almost the same as getting married into a marriage."
A Yun said, "The main reason is that he is anxious to get married. When his elder sister gets married, Brother Azhen probably won't be so diligent."
He Zijin: Even if you have a mother from the pre-mind, you can't stand the ancient ethics of this world!
He Zijin still reminded his sons, "If your elder sister is married, then you are your elder sister. You are the only one sister, and you can't treat her outside, do you know?"
"I know!" the twins answered in unison, and said, "We just said this, it's not that we don't recognize our elder sister. Mom, you think too much. We will be our elder sister's back in the future. If our elder sister doesn't live well in Azhen's house in the future, we will take our elder sister back and let her still live with us." They were still thinking a lot. Before the elder sister got married, she made the worst preparations.
A Nian and He Zijin were a little amused and crying. The family had eaten Jidi porridge and chicken wontons. After the twins made arrangements for lunch and dinner at home, they went to school with their schoolbags on their backs.
A Xi didn't know that the twins had made her "no count" positioning at home. She had breakfast with Brother Azhen and was about to go to the village to have a spring trip. As soon as she left Taiping, she met a group of people. The person who was leading a middle-aged man with a lustful look was about to meet her forty years old. She looked around forty years old, with a delicate face and outstanding appearance. She still had such a look at her age, which shows that she could not stop being at her age forty.
Ji Zhen recognized this person, and said hello when he changed his punches and called him Lord Xue.
The Lord Xue got off the horse and smiled, "It turns out it's Guard Ji, let's take a break today."
