Ji Changan smiled and raised his eyes to look out the door. The person he was waiting for was coming soon!
At this moment, Song Tuanyuan was cooking in the back kitchen. While cooking, he stretched his ears to listen to people talking about the learned Master Jin.
"This Master Jin is second only to Mu Guojian in the Imperial College!" said a servant.
"Really? So powerful?"
"That's quite impressive. It is said that all the top picks in the previous three years came from him. There are many disciples in the court!"
"Then the ticket, fifty taels of silver, is really not expensive!"
"Of course it's not expensive. Now it's said that the two hundred taels of silver I got from the ticket won't even be sold!"
Two hundred taels? Song Tuanyuan was startled, these people are really crazy, even scalpers are out!
"How many tickets does our young master still have in hand now?" Someone asked the key question.
"It is said that there is another one!" someone answered.
Song Tuanyuan quickly took the steamed dumplings out of the pot. No, she had to act quickly, otherwise she might not be able to buy the ticket!
Hearing the knock on the door outside, Ji Changan lazily raised his head and answered.
The door was pushed open, and Song Tuanyuan stretched out his head with a smile on his face.
Ji Changan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips slightly. This was the brightest smile he had ever seen from this woman in all the times he had eaten.
In the past, I would occasionally show off my face!
Ji Changan raised his hand to his mouth, coughed slightly, and blocked the smile that could not be concealed at the corner of his lips.
"Mr. Ji, are you hungry? It's time to eat!" Song Tuanyuan stepped forward with a smile, "Today I made steamed dumplings for Mr. Ji, stuffed with fresh meat and mushrooms. These mushrooms were made when my eldest son took people up the mountain to collect herbs.
The freshest mushrooms I picked up on the mountain, but they are very rare!”
It wasn't the fifteenth day of the first lunar month yet. This mushroom was found in a warm and humid cave, and it was a rare matsutake. Song Tuanyuan spent a lot of money on this ticket.
Ji Changan took a look at the steamed dumplings. They were white on the top and golden on the bottom. They were served with four small cold dishes and a bowl of eight-treasure porridge with a suitable thickness. Song Tuanyuan had indeed put a lot of thought into this breakfast!
"It looks good!" Ji Changan said, stretching out his hand.
Song Tuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and it took him a few seconds to react. He quickly took the chopsticks from the table and put them in the man's hands respectfully.
Ji Changan picked up a steamed dumpling, but the steamed dumpling suddenly slipped down.
Song Tuanyuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Ji Changan in confusion.
Ji Changan put down his chopsticks and slowly rubbed his wrist with his left hand, frowning slightly, looking very painful.
"Mr. Ji, what are you..."
"I don't know what happened yesterday. This arm was weak when I woke up this morning. Now it's getting worse. I can't even pick up a dumpling!" Ji Changan said with a frown.
"Is it so serious?" Song Tuanyuan stepped forward, held the man's arm with her small hands, and tried to touch the meridians on the man's wrist.
"It hurts!" Ji Changan couldn't help but scream when he felt a small bulge.
Song Tuanyuan frowned. She didn't use any force yet, she just touched her lightly. The man screamed so loudly. Was he too delicate or was it really painful?
Song Tuanyuan gently rubbed Ji Changan and asked, "Is it better?"
Ji Changan was looking down at the woman's hand. The chubby white hand was rubbing back and forth on his arm. The force was moderate and it was very effective.
"Mr. Ji?" Seeing that he didn't respond, Song Tuanyuan called again.
Ji Changan finally came back to his senses, but for some reason, his face turned a little red.
"What's wrong with your face? Is it hot again?" Song Tuanyuan quickly raised her hand and touched the man's forehead.
The corners of Ji Changan's lips almost reached the base of his ears, but his reason told him, no, he had to hold it back, hold it back!
Ji Changan quickly lowered his head and said, "It's okay, it just hurts too much!"
"It's strange. Even if the muscles and veins are injured, the pain will only be sore without any exertion. Why does it hurt so much?" Song Tuanyuan frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.
Ji Changan felt it and said, "It's just sore. It's just that I'm very afraid of pain. I can't stand even a little pain!"
Song Tuanyuan exclaimed, and couldn't help but think of Ji Changan who was hit by a wedding car in his previous life. His death must have been very painful!
"I'll put a black skin plaster on you later to try it out!" Song Tuanyuan said.
Ji Changan nodded, looking longingly at the fragrant steamed dumplings, "It's a pity that this rice..."
"I'll call Dashan to come in and feed you!" Song Tuanyuan said.
"Da Shan went to collect the goods early in the morning and won't be back until evening!" Ji Changan said quickly.
"Then besides Dashan, you don't have any maids to serve you in this room?" Ji Changan was stunned, what a coincidence?
"No, I'm not used to being served by others. Dashan grew up with me, so I'm used to it!" Ji Changan looked at the steamed dumplings longingly, "It's going to be cold, it's going to be cold, it won't taste good when it's cold.
Got it!"
Song Tuanyuan was so worried by his shouting that she had to quickly take out the chopsticks and insert one into the man's mouth.
While biting into the steamed dumplings, Ji Changan suppressed laughter, lowered his head, and swallowed the steamed dumplings.
A touch of freshness in winter, it tastes really good.
"Porridge!" Ji Changan ate a steamed dumpling and felt his mouth was dry, so he ordered the eight-treasure porridge with his chin.
"You can drink the eight-treasure porridge with a spoon, and you can hold the spoon with your left hand!" Song Tuanyuan said, pushing the eight-treasure porridge in front of the man.
Ji Changan had no choice but to stretch out his left hand, took a small spoon, and drank the porridge dully.
Why isn’t this damn left hand injured?
"Dumplings!" After taking a few mouthfuls of porridge, Ji Changan raised his eyes sadly and looked at Song Tuanyuan eagerly.
Song Tuanyuan gave him another dumpling.
"Side dishes!" Ji Changan looked at the four kinds of side dishes, "Let's have a bite of the same!"
Song Tuanyuan frowned, but still stretched out his chopsticks helplessly and took the same bite.
"It's delicious!" Ji Changan said, but it was too salty to eat four kinds at the same time, so he quickly lowered his head to drink the porridge.
I ate my breakfast very slowly, taking almost half an hour.
Seeing that Ji Changan had almost finished eating, Song Tuanyuan started to get to the point.
"Mr. Ji, what business are you busy with recently?" Song Tuanyuan asked with a smile.
"Nothing busy, just some trivial matters!" Ji Changan wanted to tease Song Tuanyuan, but deliberately didn't say anything.
"I heard that our Ji family has recently engaged in a big business?" Song Tuanyuan had no choice but to go straight to the point, "Invited Master Jin from the Imperial College to come and give a lecture to the students in Taiping City?"
Ji Changan nodded: "It does happen. But there are too many businesses, so I can't take care of them all."
Song Tuanyuan accompanied him with a smile: "Do you still have the ticket for Master Jin? I want to ask for one for my second son!"
Ji Changan glanced at Song Tuanyuan: "Song Fuxin also wants to hear it?"
Song Tuanyuan nodded quickly: "I heard that Master Jin was talking about the original questions from previous imperial examinations. Although we won't encounter the original questions again in this imperial examination, we can at least hear the ideas for solving the problems!"
