The cute, well-behaved and polite child made the two unmarried young men Ji Min and Ling Yunzhi soften their hearts. They immediately felt that it would be great to have such a cute and well-behaved child, and they also wanted to get married and have children.
Before sitting down, the two took out the wedding gifts they bought in the Imperial City from their sleeves.
Ling Yunzhi bought a pair of white jade finger rings engraved with dragons and phoenixes, and Ji Min bought a pair of jade pendants with phoenixes and phoenixes. They both have very good meanings and are especially suitable as gifts for newlyweds.
The couple thanked each other and accepted the gift. As soon as Yun Luochuan sat down, he hung up the board and jade pendant for Shen Wan and himself.
Ling Yunzhi and Ji Min reminisced about old times, and then talked about what happened in the Imperial City these days. When Ling Yunzhi first went to the Imperial City, he stayed in an inn, because the good and quiet inns had long been booked, so he could book whatever he wanted. Very noisy and not interested in reading.
It was only after Ji Min arrived in Kyoto, thanks to his blessing, that he moved into an unused house owned by his family in the imperial city, where he could prepare for the exam with peace of mind in a secluded courtyard. Only then did he perform so well and pass the Jinshi exam.
"Brother Yun, Brother Ji." Ling Yunzhi stood up solemnly during the dinner and raised his wine glass.
Seeing him standing up, Yun Luochuan and Ji Min also stood up holding wine glasses.
"Meeting you and becoming close friends with you is the greatest blessing in my life, Ling Yunzhi. It is precisely because of your help that I can prepare for the exam with peace of mind and pass the Jinshi exam." Thanks to Ji Min, he had a peaceful preparation for the exam. Thanks to Yun Luochuan, he has enough money and does not have to worry about money.
When he left Jiangzhou, Brother Yun came to see him off and gave him a bag that contained some food and a set of fur kneepads. When it was cold in Kyoto, he took out the fur kneepads and found that there were still two hundred dollars stuffed inside. Two banknotes.
And this banknote can be regarded as relieving his difficulties. Although he prepared more than sixty taels of silver to go to the Imperial City to take the exam, thinking that it should be enough, but he spent more than thirty taels on the way to the Imperial City for food, clothing and accommodation. The business was more expensive than he expected, and he simply didn't have enough money.
When he saw the two hundred taels of silver notes, he really felt as if a long drought had brought a sudden burst of rain.
"If you two need any help in the future, just let us know directly. I, Ling Yun Zhijue, will decline."
Yun Luochuan: "Brother Ling, you are too polite."
Ji Min: "That's right, as friends, shouldn't we help each other?"
The three of them clinked glasses and drank the sake in one gulp. Shen Wan looked at it with a smile.
After sitting down, Ling Yunzhi looked at Yun Luochuan and said, "The two hundred taels donated by Brother Yun will be returned to you when I save enough money."
Yun Luochuan knew his temperament, so he didn't say there was no need to pay it back. Instead, he said: "There's no rush."
It is said that a thousand cups of wine is too little to drink with a close friend, but because there were children around, Yun Luochuan and the others did not want to behave inappropriately in front of their children, so they did not drink too much.
After finishing the meal, the dishes were removed and tea was served. They drank the tea and chatted for a while before they dispersed.
Yun Luochuan held Shen Wan's catkin with one hand, and held An'an, whose sleepy little head was leaning against his neck, with the other hand. He walked on the streets with fewer people in the afternoon, feeling satisfied and comfortable. This was him. the life you want.
There is a high hall above, his wife and children beside him, and three or five friends surrounding him.
Anyone who recognizes Shen Wan on the street and is more courageous will come forward and salute and say: "Hello, Lord County." The prefect does not receive this treatment even when he is out on the street.
And Shen Wan would also smile and nod in return. Everyone who greeted him felt respected, and she felt even more wonderful about the Lord of Fuxing County.
