MTL - Essential Accomplishments of A Perfect White Moonlight-Chapter 46 Making greengage around the bed 7
In February of the next year, it was another annual children's test.
Everyone in the Jiang family has studied for several years, from the second elder brother Jiang whose son is ten years old, down to the third son of the Erfang family who has just turned sixteen. Many times, some for the first time.
Mr. Jiang was born in a regular juren, and now he is also a prestigious fifth-rank magistrate, and Mr. Jiang did spend money to buy a small position later. Mr. Jiang knows the importance of a real examination for fame, so he pays more attention to his son their knowledge.
The second wife of Jiang watched her master watch the children read every day, and the master in the private school kept praising her third son, saying that he was talented and intelligent, the most talented among all the children and grandchildren of the Jiang family, and his articles were very spiritual. .
The Second Mrs. Jiang was really proud. She took her daughters to visit Mrs. Jiang every day. She sighed and said that the sons of the second son in the first room were too old to pass the exam. It would be better not to waste money. She also said that this person Everyone wants to take the exam, but it is destiny for those who can pass.
Although Mrs. Jiang said she didn't like Yan Yiming, she loved Mrs. Jiang's two direct grandchildren very much. Hearing Mrs. Jiang's words, she was very unhappy and said with a straight face that she would wait until she passed the real exam, so as not to It's too embarrassing if you don't pass it behind.
The second wife of Jiang rolled her eyes and let out a cold snort before stopping. After a long time, she suddenly remembered Jiang Yi who had been in the house for nearly two months.
"Why didn't the kid brought back by the fifth child try it?"
The daughter next to Mrs. Jiang looked up at her own mother, "Isn't he only thirteen?"
Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Jiang said with a look of disgust, "What kind of book will he read? Just know a few words and don't be ashamed!"
Everyone present laughed.
Mrs. Jiang has a bad temper, but she will not find trouble for nothing. She is generally unwilling to meet people she doesn't like, saying that seeing them affects her mood, so she directly waived Jiang Yi's daily greetings and asked him and Yan Yiming not to meet each other. Come here to be an eyesore.
But once someone mentioned it, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help being sneering, and impatiently scolded Jiang Yi for a while, and sure enough, she forgot what Mrs. Jiang said wrong just now, and happily talked with Jiang Yi. The second wife talked about other things.
In a blink of an eye, the child test begins.
There were five county exams in the first round of the children's exam. After three full days of exams, everyone came back looking haggard and thin, especially the few who had seen this kind of battle for the first time.
Mrs. Jiang felt sorry for her grandson, and prepared a family dinner for the children to relax for the time being.
At the family banquet, Mr. Jiang asked all the referenced Jiang family children what articles they had written. If the writing was good, he would praise it happily, and if the writing was wrong, he would inevitably sigh.
After asking around, the article written by the third son of the second room was better in his opinion. Mr. Jiang felt a little sad, and his heart said that everyone has different aptitudes. This child is only sixteen years old, but his understanding is better than his. The second son who is almost thirty is much better.
When it comes to comprehension, Jiang Yi can't help but think of it.
Only then did they notice that Jiang Yi was not seen at the whole family banquet.
Mr. Jiang frowned deeply, and looked around several times carefully. If it was true, Mrs. Jiang asked knowingly, "What are you looking for, Mr. Jiang?"
"Where is Young Master?"
The crowd didn't realize who the young master was, Madam Jiang glanced at Mrs. Jiang with some embarrassment, and everyone immediately understood.
Except Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang and Yan Yiming, no one here knows the real background of Jiang Yi. Upon hearing Jiang Yi's name, Mrs. Jiang put away her smile, "Since it's a family banquet, why invite him!"
Master Jiang glanced at his mother, "Fifth brother entrusted Shaojun to us, and he is a descendant of the Jiang family."
Mr. Jiang Wu, who had just been scolded by Mr. Jiang, took a look at the old lady and persuaded Mr. Jiang, saying that since it was a family banquet, why invite him, and he might not understand what everyone said. After hearing this, Mr. Jiang suddenly became angry. up.
He in the second bedroom can't scold him, but his own son can scold him no matter what.
"I don't know what the so-called thing is!"
Mr. Jiang yelled violently, and the chopsticks in Mr. Jiang's hands fell to the ground in fright. Mrs. Jiang was a little distressed at her grandson, glared at her son, and scolded her own son for such an irrelevant person.
Master Jiang was even angrier, "He doesn't understand you understand! You are the most lazy in reading on weekdays, but you have the face to say that Shaojun, you know that Shaojun is seven years younger than you but passed the children's test early, but you are not even a child. , don't shut up!"
When this remark came out, everyone in the room was startled, and the smile on Master Jiang Er's face froze immediately, and he said after a long time, "Brother, you said that this wild... child has passed the child's test?"
Master Jiang snorted coldly, "It's absolutely true."
The old lady Jiang has not reacted until now, and the second wife Jiang and the third son Jiang who have been beaming all the time can no longer laugh at this moment.
Already a scholar at the age of thirteen, he is nothing compared to Jiang Yi.
When Jiang Yi appeared at the family banquet, the expressions of the crowd looking at him were quite different from before. Mrs. Jiang was still feeling uncomfortable. Maybe she didn't want to admit that Jiang Yi was talented, so in the end she could only say awkwardly that it was her own. The fifth son taught well.
Mrs. Jiang and Second Mrs. Jiang glanced at Mrs. Jiang, and turned their faces away with a sneer that they had reached an agreement for the first time.
Afterwards, when everyone saw Jiang Yi again, Jiang Yi finally became a legitimate young master.
As for Yan Yiming, since Master Jiang knew that Jiang Yi was so young at such a young age, Mrs. Jiang blew on the pillow again at night, and Master Jiang never stopped him, and let Yan Yiming As an older sister, take care of Jiang Yi more.
Yan Yiming naturally agreed.
Jiang Yi came to Yan Yiming's side in person, and thanked Yan Yiming solemnly, Yan Yiming smiled helplessly and said, "You are doing it yourself, I'm just telling the truth, what are you thanking me for?"
Jiang Yi looked serious, "I still have to thank you."
Yan Yiming glanced at him, picked up a green jujube with his pale fingers, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly, "Children, it's better to be lively."
Jiang Yi glanced at Yan Yiming, turned his face away and said sullenly, "...I'm not a child."
"It's just children who don't admit that they are young," Yan Yiming smiled, and picked up another jujube and stuffed it into Jiang Yi's mouth while Jiang Yi was not paying attention, "Everyone younger than me is a child, don't make trouble, Eat a jujube."
Subconsciously biting it, the sweet taste of green dates overflowed in my mouth.
Seeing her retracting her thin white fingers, Jiang Yi saw the smile on her face, and suddenly wanted to eat another one.
But it would be too naive to speak again, just now I said that I am not a child at heart, it is better not to...
When he was struggling with left and right, Yan Yiming seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and fed another jujube very naturally. Jiang Yi subconsciously leaned forward slightly and bit the jujube.
Yan Yiming looked at his expression of refusal clearly written on his face, but he didn't hesitate at all, and wanted to laugh but didn't.
How awkward.
After dinner together, Jiang Yi went back to his residence. He heard from the maids over there that Jiang Yi read for a long time every night. Yan Yiming once looked through the books Jiang Yi brought, and the paper was very old. It has obviously been read many times, and it is full of annotations, which shows Jiang Yi's seriousness.
According to Mrs. Jiang, even Mr. Jiang was not so hardworking back then.
Even though he is very talented, he has to work harder than ordinary people.
Now all the men in Jiang's family are reading books desperately, but they are for the children's examination in a few days later, while Jiang Yi is for the rural examination in three years' time.
Jiang Yi was awarded the No. 1 Scholar at the age of seventeen, that is, he passed the provincial examination at the age of sixteen.
Compared with other people in Jiang Mansion who still have busy time to squander, Jiang Yi needs to do too much in three years.
The last time Mrs. Jiang and Yan Yiming said that they would sometimes bring Jiang Yi over to talk, Yan Yiming turned around and asked Jiang Yi's opinion. Mrs. Jiang is Yan Yiming's mother. Jiang Yi also remembered that the first time he saw Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang spoke for him. He immediately put down the book in his hand, adjusted his clothes, and went to Mrs. Jiang's side with Yan Yiming. say.
I don't want to go in and find that Madam Jiang is not the only one, but also the aunts and sisters of Dafang, as well as two wives whom I have never seen before.
In addition to Mrs. Jiang, Mr. Jiang also married three concubines. The concubines gave birth to five sons and four daughters for Mr. Jiang. Two of the four daughters have already married, and now there are two concubines left. When it comes to marriage.
It's even a little late.
After all, Yan Yiming, the youngest, will soon be sixteen, the third girl is one year older than Yan Yiming, and the fourth girl is four months older than her.
No one expected that Yan Yiming would come, even Mrs. Jiang, who saw her daughter happy, didn't want her daughter to hear this at the moment.
Ever since the daughter's illness was spread by Mrs. Jiang's embellishments, no one came to propose marriage to Yan Yiming. Now even the third and fourth girls have one after another matchmakers who say that their daughter is so talented. She was so much better than them, yet she became the one who couldn't get married.
Yan Yiming's marriage has become a thorn in Mrs. Jiang's heart, and she dare not touch it.
Just as he was about to tell Yan Yiming and Jiang Yi to let them sit inside and go there after she finished talking about the business, the matchmaker who came to intercede saw Yan Yiming's eyes lit up and guessed Yan Yiming's identity , already involuntarily praised Yan Yiming and clicked his tongue a few times, "I've never seen someone so outstanding."
Mrs. Jiang smiled, and the fourth and third girls suddenly smiled unnaturally. Aunt Zhao, who was sitting at the bottom, responded with a sigh, "Yes, our fifth girl is really first-class." With a sad face again, "But God doesn't have eyes, but it just... oh, what a pity..."
Mrs. Jiang put away her smile immediately, Yan Yiming glanced at Aunt Zhao and said indifferently, "What's the pity?"
Aunt Zhao was startled by this boring and emotional voice, remembering the master's doting on Yan Yiming, she finally lowered her head and didn't speak any more.
The matchmaker was also very smart, he understood what Aunt Zhao meant, and secretly scolded Aunt Zhao for being troublesome, so she hurriedly found a topic to divert the matter away, and glanced at Jiang Yi, who was small but very handsome, and hey He shouted, "Whose family's young gentleman is this?"
Mrs. Jiang finally smiled and explained that this is the son of the fifth master in the family.
Although the matchmaker didn't know the details, he did know that Fifth Master Jiang eloped with a widow who was married, so he immediately shut up and didn't mention it.
After Yan Yiming and Jiang Yi went inside, they continued to talk about their previous marriage.
Jiang Yi and Yan Yiming sat in the inner room. The maids served tea and they drank slowly. Seeing the blood vessels on it clearly, he sat there with a blank expression at the moment, and returned to his usual appearance in front of others.
Jiang Yi remembered Aunt Zhao's words just now.
What a pity, what a pity.
It's a pity that he is short-lived, no matter how good-looking he is, it's useless.
Why is Mrs. Jiang's complexion so ugly? Why is it that she is clearly just an aunt but can make Mrs. Jiang feel bad about this matter, because Yan Yiming is not in good health.
Because no one dares to marry a woman who is born with a deficiency.
Jiang Yi suddenly felt unspeakable anger.
Because he has seen Yan Yiming's good side, he can hardly find any bad things about Yan Yiming, but such a good person is criticized by one after another.
Why should they!
