Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 36: Teasing the child to wake up the official, Jia Lan is depressed when the results are released
Chapter 36: Teasing the child to wake up the official, Jia Lan is depressed when the results are released
It happened that Jia Lan was also at the village, and after careful questioning, he asked the mother and daughter to stay.
"Young master is very good. He can grow golden corn all over the field. Zhaodi has never eaten anything so delicious. Every grain is glutinous and sweet. It is much more delicious than the wheat rice Zhaodi had before.
!"
I don’t know why they started chatting about eating. The young man didn’t know what corn was at first. After the little girl danced and gestured, he suddenly realized it and said with a smile: “What is it? It turns out to be wheat. It’s sweet.”
, it’s really good!”
As early as the pre-Ming Dynasty, corn had been introduced to China via the great maritime trade routes and was cultivated in both the north and the south.
Although he trained hard in the pear orchard, he was born in a prosperous land after all, so the senior official has naturally seen corn.
The two chatted for a while, mostly listening to Zhao Di talk about Jia Lan's highlight moments. It turned out that Beizhuang originally only had a small hilltop. Since Jia Lan took over, he has successively bought nearby land, which has fully expanded the village.
The amount was several times higher. Because of the right management, there was a bumper harvest in the first year.
"Uncle Jiao is a good person, but he has always criticized the young master for taking in refugees like me. We farmed hard until we had a good harvest. Looking at the harvest, Uncle Jiao stood there like a stone for a long time.
, and he has kept silent since then."
Jia Lan's image in Ling Guan's mind gradually becomes more and more full with every word Zhao Di says.
Suddenly!
"Guluulu~~~~" (??_?)
The sound coming from his stomach made Lingguan's face turn red uncontrollably.
He kept listening to Zhao Di talk about food, which made Ling Guan feel hungry even though he hadn't eaten all night.
"The girl must be very hungry. The young master has already given orders!" Zhao Di lightly turned over and jumped out of bed, brought a food box, opened it and saw that it was full of all kinds of pastries.
"The young master said he was afraid that you would be hungry, so he ordered someone to buy some cakes from Beijing. He also told Xiaofang and I that if the girl is hungry, we should first eat this jujube paste and yam cake to cushion our stomachs."
Lingguan was obviously hungry, so he picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. His mouth was immediately filled with sweetness.
Although she has been trapped all day since she entered Jia's house, Jia Qiang treats all the actors very well and provides them with delicious food and drink every day. She has also eaten some cakes with this taste, so she can eat them now.
The production must have come from the hands of famous teachers in Beijing.
Thinking about how Jialan treated him so favorably despite his temper, the senior official began to worry about gain and loss again.
At this time, Lingguan noticed something strange coming from around him. When he raised his head curiously, he immediately burst into laughter.
Zhaodi held up the food box respectfully, but she kept swallowing saliva, obviously she was greedy.
"You're a snack, ah~" Lingguan picked up a piece of pastry.
Zhaodi obviously wanted to eat, but she shook her head desperately: "No, girl, I promised to give you food, Zhaodi can't eat it because of it, this is eating secretly, eating secretly is also stealing, this is wrong." p>
The Lingguan was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly and said: "It's my sister's treat for you to eat. If you eat it, don't tell anyone else, not even the young master."
"Well..." Zhao Di nodded, then shook her head: "If the young master asks, I will still tell you. Uncle Jiao said that you can't lie, and those who lie are not good children."
At this time, Ling Guan really fell in love with Zhao Di, so he nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you want."
After that, he fed small pieces of jujube paste and yam cake to Zhaodi. Zhaodi ate it in one bite, and her mouth was immediately full of fragrance, with an intoxicated smile on her face.
“Delicious~”
"Hehe, do you want to have another one?"
"Okay... no, it's better not to eat." Zhao Di covered her eyes and ran out, "The girl is awake, I have to tell the doctor!"
Jia Lan was exercising in the yard when he saw Zhao Di running out in a hurry. He thought that Ling Guan had woken up, so he went into the house. He happened to see Ling Guan pick up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth. When he saw Jia Lan come in, he suddenly choked.
, coughing endlessly.
[I don’t know, I did cardiopulmonary resuscitation yesterday. Do I need the Heimlich maneuver again this morning?]
Jialan was also startled, and was about to go out and call the rough lady who was cleaning the yard. The Heimlich maneuver was almost as embarrassing as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and it would be troublesome if someone misunderstood it.
Fortunately, Ling Guan only choked slightly, and his complexion quickly returned to normal.
"I've given you food, what are you afraid of? On the contrary, it scared me." Jia Lan said in a funny and angry tone.
The senior official looked at Jia Lan intently. This time she did not refute, she just said "oh" and then lowered her head, a little embarrassed and a little sad.
Jia Lan looked at Ling Guan's appearance and sighed inwardly, she did look a bit like Lin Daiyu when she calmed down.
In particular, the curved willow eyebrows, although not as good as Daiyu's smoky eyebrows, are still soft and soft, and the smoke is woven into sadness.
"The girl is awake?" The doctor received the message and quickly came over and carefully checked Ling Guan's pulse, asked her how she was feeling now, and then said to Jia Lan: "The girl finally got over it because she was young, and she will take a few medicines after that."
, it will be no big deal if she takes good care of herself. The only thing is, from what I can see, the girl’s body is still a little thin, and she still needs a little nourishment in the future.”
After seeing off the doctor, Jia Lan looked back at Lingguan and said with a smile: "Okay, from now on, you will have to cultivate yourself well. Eat when you need to eat and sleep when you need to. Anyway, I am used to one person, let alone others.
Waiting for you all night, you will sleep soundly until dawn like you did a few days ago, which is good."
When the senior official heard this, he immediately became unhappy. He curled his lips and glared at Jia Lan angrily: "Isn't this just raising pigs? Who do you think I am?"
"Think of you as a patient! If you are not cured, why don't you eat or sleep?"
"Alas!" Ling Guan was so punished by Jia Lan that he really lost his temper. In the past three days, he didn't know what he had committed. He always felt embarrassed in front of Jia Lan.
"Okay! I'm going to see the monthly exam results. See you later!"
Jia Lan waved his hand and turned away with a big stride, leaving Lingguan alone and dumbfounded.
When his eyes fell on the food box next to him, Lingguan's whole person softened.
"Maybe this is fate..." She whispered, and smiled again for a moment, "In this case, I will always learn to serve you."
……
At this time, Diecui Academy was already crowded with people, and even many people gathered outside the academy to watch the excitement.
"The list is released!" Suddenly someone shouted, and everyone rushed into the second door from the main door and came to the lecture hall. They saw one large list and two small lists posted on the wall, one for the big list, one for poetry, and two for current affairs.
Small list.
Jia Lan's eyesight is now better than before. He can clearly see the big characters on the list from a distance. When he glanced at the list and didn't see his name, Jia Lan turned his eyes to the side.
He originally had no expectations for himself to be on the big list. To put it bluntly, with his perspective of a few hundred years, he could be regarded as the tallest among the dwarfs. But when it came to the provincial examination, he was able to take the test.
This advantage will become less and less obvious.
There were a total of 100,000 people in the Ming Dynasty, and less than a quarter of them could pass the examination.
Everyone among them will be the king of kings in future generations.
The only thing Jia Lan looks forward to is the poetry list.
But after scanning his eyes, Jia Lan couldn't help but feel disappointed.
