Jiang Mingzhe took five and handed them to Li Ping.
Li Ping took it, reached out, and asked for more.
Jiang Mingzhe gave away half of it before Li Ping withdrew his hand, satisfied.
"First hurdle passed, let's move on to the second." Li Ping carefully put away the signed and sealed guarantee and waved goodbye.
Wen Yuan and his men brought over a table.
There are ten cups on the table, each with a lid, so you can't see what's inside.
"Life for two has its ups and downs. This cup contains two portions: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty. Once you've finished one portion, you've passed the test. Please~" Li Ping said, his voice trailing off at the end.
Normally, Jiang Mingzhe would find his son adorable.
Now, Jiang Mingzhe just felt an itch to do it.
Jiang Mingzhe glanced at Wen Yuan.
Wen Yuan stepped back behind Li Ping, pretending not to see Jiang Mingzhe's gaze.
His current master is Li Ping. He does whatever his master says. As for his previous master?
Now that everyone has pledged allegiance to the new master, who cares about the old one?
"The groom doesn't dare?" Li Ping's provocative tone made Jiang Mingzhe even more itchy to fight.
He silently repeated again, "My own flesh and blood, my own flesh and blood..."
Jiang Mingzhe walked to the table, looked carefully, and smelled intently.
Pick out a glass and open it. The glass is full of yellow water.
I took a small sip, and my mouth was filled with bitterness.
It's Coptis chinensis water.
"You have to finish it all," Li Ping said with a smile.
Jiang Mingzhe drank it all in one gulp, using his strong self-control to keep his face from contorting.
"Drink the first bitter cup. There are still four more flavors to go, continue," Li Ping urged with a smile.
Jiang Mingzhe selected the second cup, opened the lid, and smelled a sour aroma.
A full glass of vinegar.
Jiang Mingzhe drank it without changing his expression, much to Li Ping's disappointment, who had hoped to see him change his expression.
The third cup Jiang Mingzhe chose was a cup of sugar water, which he calmly drank in one gulp.
The fourth cup was spicy, a bright red chili water.
Jiang Mingzhe, who can't handle spicy food very well, started coughing uncontrollably after drinking it.
Cough cough cough...
He took a sip of the tea that Chen Xiang brought him to relieve the spiciness.
Jiang Mingzhe continued selecting.
The fifth cup was the same as the previous one, sweet. I drank a cup of sweet syrup.
For the sixth cup, select spicy again.
After finishing the drink, he continued coughing...
For the seventh cup, I finally chose the salty one.
It's very salty.
After finishing the tea, Jiang Mingzhe drank two more cups to remove the saltiness from his mouth.
"Second level passed, now for the third level."
"Wait a moment," Jiang Mingzhe interrupted Li Ping.
"You're already backing down after such a small amount?" Li Ping was suspicious, flustered, and angry.
“If you dare to leave, I’ll have Chen Xiang break your legs.”
"I won't leave until I pick up your mother today," Jiang Mingzhe stated, then explained why he had interrupted.
After drinking ten cups of water, I couldn't take it anymore and needed to go to the outhouse to relieve myself.
That's the reason," Li Ping urged, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
Jiang Mingzhe went to the backyard.
At this moment, Li Ping asked Wen Yuan to remove all the cups from the table and bring over an embroidered basket.
Jiang Mingzhe returned quickly.
“The third challenge isn’t difficult.” Li Ping took out a handkerchief embroidered by Ye Yunniang.
The handkerchief is embroidered with a kitten chasing a butterfly.
“Analyze how many colors the butterfly used, find the corresponding colored embroidery thread in the embroidery basket, and thread the needle.”
The two butterflies are predominantly yellow, with black accents and other colors including orange-red, gray, and white.
Jiang Mingzhe selected the embroidery thread corresponding to the observed colors.
“Too few,” Li Ping replied after glancing at it.
Which one is missing?
"See for yourself." Li Ping wouldn't tell Jiang Mingzhe the real answer.
Jiang Mingzhe observed carefully, "Nothing is missing."
"Are those two eggs hanging under your eyebrows? They're so obvious, I can't even tell," Li Ping mocked.
Those around: They really know how to curse.
Jiang Mingzhe wasn't angry. "How many colors are there in total?"
“My mother embroidered two butterflies, using 10 different kinds of embroidery thread,” Li Ping gave a hint.
Jiang Mingzhe selected seven types of butterflies and compared them with embroidery threads.
"Your concern for my mother is all talk. You don't pay any attention to what my mother does."
Jiang Mingzhe ignored Li Ping's words. Observing the handkerchief in his hand, he noticed the butterfly's color and the gradual change in color from orange-red to light red on its wings.
Three shades of orange-red with different light and dark tones were selected.
"I've made my selection."
"Threading a needle."
Jiang Mingzhe made the right choice.
Hold the needle in one hand and the thread in the other, and carefully thread the needle.
Jiang Mingzhe had never sewn clothes before. He threaded the needle slowly and looked clumsy.
Li Ping was very satisfied with what he saw.
After threading the needle, Jiang Mingzhe's forehead was covered in sweat.
After confirming that the needle had been successfully threaded, Li Ping stepped aside.
Jiang Mingzhe arrived at the door, but was blocked by Baise.
"As father and son, Li Ping wouldn't be willing to be ruthless towards you. But I'm not. I won't hold back at all."
"Bring it on." Jiang Mingzhe ignored Baise's provocation.
That's exactly the attitude we're looking for.
Ten sheets of paper were laid out on the table in Baise, each with a red handprint on it.
"Three chances, which one do you choose as Yunniang's?"
The bride's handprint selection ceremony held in Baise is something that has never been done before when weddings were being held.
People around watched curiously, trying to guess which one was Ye Yunniang's handprint.
Analyze the characteristics of Ye Yunniang's hands, etc.
Jiang Mingzhe was dissatisfied with these people's discussions and analyses. He didn't want his wife to be talked about.
You've gone too far.
"Hurry up and choose." Baise realized she might be acting a bit recklessly. But to win against Jiang Mingzhe, she couldn't care less about that.
After reading it, Jiang Mingzhe took out the middle one.
