Chapter 148 What a pity

Therefore, Song Jingyun and Lu Yuming had no idea about the current situation of the others or whether they had already arrived at the provincial capital.

After all, they are students of the same academy and are familiar with each other. In such an unfamiliar place, if they can have the company of classmates, they will naturally feel more at ease.

Therefore, Song Jingyun and Lu Yuming also hoped to meet everyone before the exam.

Now that they didn't see anyone else, they felt a little discouraged.

But then again, since they all had to come to the capital to take the exam, they would definitely come here, and after arriving here, they would definitely go shopping in bookstores and other places like the two of them, so it was only a matter of time before they met.

The two of them felt much more relieved when they thought about it this way.

They chatted for a while and selected the books they wanted to read. Seeing that it was getting late, they went their separate ways.

Lu Yuming went to look for the servant who had accompanied him to the exam, while Song Jingyun went to the cloth shop nearby to look for his wife.

Song's Cloth Shop is a huge shop with two floors. It has a dazzling array of cloth and ready-made clothes, which is overwhelming. There are also many customers inside, so it is very lively.

Of course, you can't shout loudly in a shop like this, so Song Jingyun can only look around slowly inside.

Most of the customers in the cloth shop are women, and there are not many men, especially young men like Song Jingyun who are young, handsome, and have a strong scholarly air.

So when Song Jingyun first entered the cloth shop, he attracted many people's attention.

Especially those unmarried girls, their faces turned red for no reason, or they turned their heads away, or took a few steps back to avoid suspicion.

But even though he wanted to avoid suspicion, he still secretly took a few more glances at her.

The provincial examination is approaching. Every year at this time, students from the provincial city gather here to take the exam.

Although he was only a student after the provincial examination, he still had a future. Moreover, with the status of a student, he could teach children or do some copying and letter writing for a living, and it was quite easy to make money.

It can be said that those who can take part in the provincial examination will be listed as good marriage partners by many people.

Therefore, many girls of marriageable age will walk around the streets more often at this time of year in the hope of meeting their ideal partner and finding their ideal husband.

At present, Song Jingyun was a handsome and elegant man with a good appearance. His temperament was much better than that of ordinary scholars. Some girls naturally blushed and were thinking about how to approach him and start a conversation with him later.

Or how to create a chance encounter or something.

After all, the more educated one is, the more he cares about things like fate.

If they meet two or three times in a day, wouldn't their marriage be here? Just when someone was eager to try, Song Jingyun saw Jiang Mixia who was carefully selecting fabrics, and hurried over, "My wife."

"Have you bought the books?" Jiang Mixia held the fabric in her hand and compared it to Song Jingyun. "It's just in time. I saw a few pieces of fabric that would be perfect for you. Take a look at the texture and color to see if you like it."

Song Jingyun reached out and touched the fabric, then looked at the fabrics around him and nodded repeatedly, "My lady has a good eye, and I think it's excellent too."

It seems that my vision was right, and I picked something that Song Jingyun likes.

Jiang Mixia was very happy. She asked the servant next to her to take the material and then went to see the fabric made of softer texture for making small clothes.

Those girls who had originally set their sights on Song Jingyun felt very regretful when they saw that he was already married.

It's such a pity that such a good young man got married at such a young age.

And judging from his appearance, he seems to be quite affectionate with his wife. When they see each other, there are stars in their eyes, and it seems that they can no longer look down on anyone else.

The most regrettable thing is that although the young man looks like he is wearing very simple clothes, if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that the clothes he wears are all made of the finest silk and satin, all with woven patterns, which shows that he is obviously trying to hide his wealth.

Such a family has both a solid foundation and knowledge, and is simply an extremely good family...

What a pity.

Those people shook their heads and sighed, and withdrew their inquiring gazes.

Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun didn't know about this. They just picked out a few suitable fabrics, chose a set of ready-made clothes each, paid the cloth shop, agreed on the delivery location and time, and then returned to the inn.

In the following days, Song Jingyun concentrated on studying.

Occasionally, he would make an appointment with Lu Yuming to go to a bookstore or teahouse, or even look for a famous academy in the city to see how other scholars in the city studied and discuss academic knowledge with them.

Jiang Mixia was not interested in this kind of communication between men. Seeing that Song Jingyun was now able to handle these normal interactions, he felt relieved and concentrated on his own affairs.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

First, I went to visit Zheng Yuanhe.

Zheng Yuanhe's family mainly runs a medicinal materials and grain business. As the eldest son, Zheng Yuanhe is currently mainly responsible for the medicinal materials business.

When Jiang Mixia arrived, Zheng Yuanhe was busy in Zheng's Herbal Medicine Store. He quickly invited her to the private room in the store and asked the waiter to bring some tea.

"Ms. Jiang has come from afar, so I should do my best to be a good host." Zheng Yuanhe said with a smile.

"Manager Zheng has done his best. I haven't had time to thank him for the inn." Jiang Mixia said repeatedly, "These are some pickled vegetables and dried vegetables made at home. I thought Manager Zheng might like these farm products, so I sent some to Manager Zheng so that he can try something new."

Zheng Yuanhe opened the porcelain jars that Jiang Mixia brought and took a look.

When eating shredded mustard greens, the dry-pickled kind, take out some with clean chopsticks, mix it with vinegar, white sugar, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. It is crisp and refreshing, or you can fry eggs with the shredded mustard greens, which are both rare side dishes to go with rice.

Dried cowpeas should be fully soaked before eating. Whether used to make dumplings or stews, the more you eat them, the more delicious they become.

Chili beans in sauce are made by marinating soybeans and peanuts in chili sauce. You can eat them whenever you want. They are extremely spicy and the peanuts and soybeans are rich and crispy enough. They are perfect to mix with noodles or rice.

Zheng Yuanhe swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva just by looking at and smelling these things, and smacked his lips repeatedly. "Although my family has a farm, the tenants on the farm are not very good at pickling vegetables. My mother had eaten these dried vegetables pickled on my aunt's farm before, and she talked about it to us several times. I was just thinking about where to find some delicious pickled vegetables, and it happened that Madam Jiang brought them here, which really solved my urgent need."

"But I can say that I am catering to her needs." Jiang Mixia smiled and said, "Just wait for Madam to taste these. If you find them delicious, I will send some more."

"Then I'll really have to trouble Madam Jiang for once. If there is any more, when Madam Jiang goes to Zheng's to deliver the goods, just give it to Manager Sun, and he will send someone to deliver it to the provincial capital." Zheng Yuanhe said with a smile.

Maybe because I haven’t gotten enough sleep recently, I slept for thirteen or fourteen hours today…
