Spring in Beijing

Zheng Yu ignored Meng Cimo and stared blankly at the half-moon in the sky.

In the melting moonlight, Li Zhenbao's smiling face emerged. His eyebrows were as dark as a distant mountain, his eyes were like stars, his small pointed chin, and his fleshy little garlic nose...

She is not the most beautiful, but she is the most exciting to me.

Zheng Yu knew that his family had always wanted him to marry Li Zhenbao. Their marriage was mainly based on politics, but he was unwilling to associate his marriage with politics. He had always been emotionally resistant, and he had always pretended not to see that Li Zhenbao was interested in

His thoughts.

silent

Over the past six months, Zhenbao has been seriously ill, and he has seen her hanging by a thread several times, and seeing her transformed into a human figure by the pain. His heart ached, and he wished he could not bear all the pain for her. He also understood his own feelings...

…

Zheng Yu's eyes were soft.

Meng Cimo smiled and said, "You miss the girl again? When Princess Zhenbao returns to the secular life, it will be time for the man to marry and the woman to marry."

Zheng Yu didn't deny it anymore and walked forward with big steps.

At dawn the next day, Meng Cimo and Zheng Yu came to Huzhuang.

Li Zhenbao knew that Zheng Yu and Meng Cimo would come for breakfast, so he rarely slept in and got up at dawn.

The morning sun has not yet risen, and everything in the world is shrouded in the thin morning light. The morning breeze blows against your face, carrying the fragrance of flowers and moisture. There is still mist on the ground, smoke is rising from the chimney, and the chickens, sheep and cats are merrily cawing in the outer courtyard... The early morning

Huzhuang is beautiful and full of fireworks.

Li Zhenbao took a deep breath and jumped twice more. His head, which was still a little confused, suddenly became clear, and he felt that his whole body was full of vitality.

Li Zhenbao has loved to sleep in since his previous life. Even if he had to get up early to go to school, he would still be half asleep and half awake, his mind full of slurry, and he basically didn't pay attention to what he was like in the morning. He had been treating and recuperating his illness all his life, and he never paid attention to it.

Today, for the first time, I realized what vigorous vitality is, and why the ancients said that a day's plan begins in the morning...

Jiang Yixi was tending flowers and plants in the yard and got dirt on her hands.

She smiled and asked, "Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

Li Zhenbao said very virtuously, "I want to cook something delicious for brother Zheng, sister, and brother-in-law Meng with my own hands."

Jiang Yixi was a little flattered, cleaned her hands in the copper basin, and went into the kitchen with Li Zhenbao.

Li Zhenbao made preserved egg porridge and steamed five small bowls of steamed eggs.

There is no meat in the preserved egg porridge, but spices and a few vegetable leaves are added. The steamed eggs are made from goat's milk. I'm afraid that the goat's milk will have a smell, so I boil it with almonds first.

By the time Meng Cimo and Zheng Yu came over, it was already bright and breakfast was ready.

Several people naturally praised the preserved egg porridge and steamed eggs.

I have to admire Shuizhu, who is very good at the kitchen. "It turns out that goat milk can be used to steam eggs, and the steamed eggs are even tenderer than tofu."

After dinner, Zheng Yu and Li Zhenbao were sent away, and Jiang Yixi and her family returned to the capital with Huahua.

Meng Cimo did not ride a horse, but rode a carriage with Jiang Yixi, and told the Zheng family what they meant to Jiang Xun.

The Zheng family really disagrees.

Jiang Yixi has reached this result and is disappointed and sad.

After a long time, she said, "Xun'er is so good, but his fate is always bad."

Meng Cimo let out a long sigh and took her into his arms.

On March 20th, the martial arts examination begins.

The palace examination was held in the palace, and Meng Cimo could see the martial arts examination. But Meng Cimo was on duty today and would not come back at night.

In the afternoon, he asked Meng Lianshan to go home and tell Old Guo Gong and Jiang Yixi that Jiang Xun performed as usual in the martial arts examination, but his "Qiao Guan" was still a little weak. If Cewen did as usual in the examination, his ranking would not be ideal.

This is what I expected before. Although Jiang Xun practices martial arts diligently, he is still young and has not practiced martial arts since he was a child. "Strength" has always been his weakness.

Jiang Yixi and the old man once again placed their hopes on Ce Wen.

In the evening, everyone was having dinner at Fu'an Hall. The mother-in-law reported that Meng Qingshan had something to report.

It must be an exam question reported to "Cewen". After the exam is over, the exam questions are no longer a secret.

The old man asked Meng Qingshan to come in and answer.

Meng Qingshan said that the policy question was about the war in the west.

The old man and Jiang Yixi were both overjoyed.

The old man told Jiang Xun the most about this aspect. He even talked about it in every battle. Meng Cimo and Zheng Ji also talked about it. This can be regarded as a bet on the topic in advance.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Xun should have answered well.

The old man was so happy that he drank a few more glasses of wine.

The next day, the old Duke came to Fushengju. He knew that Jiang Xun would definitely come here today.

Jiang Xun came at the beginning of noon. Seeing the smile on his face, you knew he did well in the exam.

He bowed to the ground in front of the old Duke and said with a smile, "Thank you Grandpa Meng for your kindness in rebuilding."

Jiang Xun recited his answers.

The old man was very satisfied, "Yes, if nothing happens, Xun'er's ranking will be improved a lot."

Jiang Yixi couldn't help but be happy after hearing this. She rolled up her sleeves and went to the small kitchen to cook the old man's favorite dishes.

Two days later, a list was posted outside Dongchangshun Gate, the most prosperous building in the capital.

Jiang Yixi sent Wu Dagui to look at the list.

Jiang Xun will not go to the Dongchangshun Gate. The ninety-eight military tributes will have to wait outside the Taihe Hall, and the chamberlain will roll their names. After that, the emperor will give him a suit of armor, a waist sword, and directly grant him an official position. He will also reward all the Jinshi with silver coins.

Give me a 'Qionglin Banquet'. Tomorrow the Ministry of War will take the lead to protect the number one and number two candidates, and parade them through the streets...

Early in the morning, the old man came to Fushengju again to wait for news.

He held Yin'er in his arms and waited eagerly on the corridor. Xiao Cuncun and Huahua also craned their necks and looked at the door, hoping that their uncle would achieve good results.

At the beginning of noon, Wu Dagui ran into the door with a happy face.

He laughed loudly and said, "Congratulations, grandma, and congratulations to my husband. My uncle won the third prize and is the youngest in this dynasty."

Jiang Xun is the old man’s student, so it’s right to congratulate him.

This good result was unexpected not only by Jiang Yixi, but also by the old man, who was overjoyed.

Jiang Yixi and the old man each rewarded Wu Dagui with two taels of silver.

Fusheng Juli suddenly became lively, and the servants came to kowtow to them.

Jiang Yixi asked people to give silver coins as rewards, and the old man asked people to prepare gifts and send them to the Jiang family. He also asked people to prepare more than a dozen tables for dinner at night, and the master and his servants congratulated him.

This scene only happened when Meng Ciyu was admitted to the Juren Examination.

After the masters heard about it, they all came to Fushengju to congratulate Jiang Yixi. Even the old lady came.

Jiang Yixi asked people to prepare a banquet and set up a few tables at Fusheng Residence at noon.

Seeing this scene, the old lady's eyes turned red, and she thought of Meng You and Meng Wu thousands of miles away.

The old lady asked the old man how the two children were doing now. The old man didn't answer, he just said that it was enough to treat those two people as if they didn't exist and to be well.

Huang Xin ran to the old lady and asked, "Grandma, Aunt Xiu and I want to see Uncle Tanhua ride a horse and parade through the streets tomorrow."

Meng Lan and Meng Shuang also said they wanted to go. They had seen that spectacular scene when they were children.

Meng Ciling, Meng Cian, and Meng Cicun were afraid that they would not be brought with them, so they jumped on their feet and shouted loudly, "We are going too."

Meng Cicun added, "My sister is also going, take her with you."

The old lady had a headache from the noise and shook her head repeatedly, "How can that be done? The streets are too chaotic."
