Chapter 531 Spring Examination Begins
Even those who are not sick can come here to eat medicinal food.
After all, no one is free of any health problems, such as getting angry, qi and blood deficiency, cold body, etc.
I can always prescribe a recipe for medicinal food.
In just one month, Jiang Fubao earned the money that would normally take him three months to earn.
Sanshan School began to recruit students, and many people from other places flocked to Lianshan Town.
It was a small school, but with the testimony of the magistrate of Qixi County, the principal was a judge, and he produced two judges, three scholars and more than ten students. It was truly unheard of.
What is different from the previous two years is that most of the students who came before were from Lin County, and the farthest one was from Yingnan Prefecture.
But after Shen Hechi and Meng Bujiu had a fight.
Even students from other provinces came here to study.
For a time, Lianshan Town was crowded with people.
All the inns and taverns in the town were full of people. Those who had no place to live rented houses, and those who were rich even bought houses.
As a result, house prices have increased significantly.
Especially those near the school, they were sold for three thousand taels just by entering, which was outrageous. Even houses in the south of the Yangtze River could not be sold at such a price.
Jiang Fubao sighed silently, isn't this just the school district housing in ancient times?
I guess it was the price speculated by the pawnbroker. How stupid the ancient people were!
Obviously smart but not good enough.
At the same time, Meng Bujiu, who was rushing to take the exam, was about to arrive at the imperial city.
Along the way, he traveled by land, then by water, and then by mountain roads. During the journey, he encountered thieves when staying in an inn and his money was almost stolen. When he walked on the mountain road, he encountered bandits again. Fortunately, he followed the escort agency and was able to save his life.
I thought I was safe, but when I got on the boat, I encountered two brothers fighting over the family property. The eldest brother set fire to the boat, trying to burn his half brother to death.
Good fellow.
Fortunately, Meng Bujiu and Lingshan could swim, otherwise they would either drown or be burned to death.
After reaching the shore, Meng Bujiu asked Lingshan to rescue his half-brother who was about to drown.
But he didn't mind his own business. He found an inn, dried his clothes, and left on a different boat the next day.
When they arrived at the imperial city, there was still half a month before the spring examination began.
Meng Bujiu had lost a lot of weight, and Lingshan was not much better. There was no time to think about it. The master and servant spent a lot of money to rent a house and settled down.
The first thing Meng Bujiu did after picking up the pen was to write letters to his family and Jiang Fubao.
By the time Jiang Fubao saw the letter, more than half a month had passed.
"Phew, it's okay." She was sitting in the clinic, and when she saw the letter saying that the patient had arrived safely, she finally felt relieved.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Pan Erya asked puzzled.
"It's okay, Brother Bujiu has arrived in the imperial city, and have a safe journey." Jiang Fubao smiled. She wanted to reply, but after calculating the date, she realized that Brother Bujiu had already taken the exam. Regardless of whether he passed or not, he might have returned by the time the letter arrived.
Still no reply.
Jiang Fubao put down her pen and put the letter on the table into the drawer.
Several apprentices were taking the patient's pulse.
She smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes and walked over.
Spring has arrived and everything is about to revive.
Spring planting begins.
Jiang Shoujia had returned to Jiangjia Village three days ago.
As the village chief and clan leader, of course he had to be present at such an important event.
At that time, Jiang Kang and his sister Jiang Ning were helping their family sow seeds. The two little figures were shuttling back and forth in the fields.
Since his aunt and sister came back, the lonely Jiang Kang no longer had to sit on the doorstep every day, waiting for his father to come back from town so that he could have a hot meal.
Three meals a day are all made by Jiang Yadan.
The family also raised chickens. The two children went to the foot of the mountain together to catch insects and were responsible for feeding the chickens. They were very sensible.
The brother and sister, one takes care of the outside affairs and the other takes care of the inside affairs, and they raised their two children very well.
"It's noon, sister. You should take the two children home and cook. Let them take a rest. I'll be the only one left in the fields." The sun climbed overhead, even though it wasn't hot that day.
Jiang Zhuzi was sweating profusely from the heat.
He took off the sackcloth from his neck, wiped the sweat off his face, and spoke to his sister who was not far away.
"Okay, I'll be back right away. Kang'er, Ning'er, let's go home and cook." With a shout, Jiang Kang and Jiang Ning came running over, swaying.
"Okay, mom." Jiang Ning agreed sweetly.
"I got it, aunt. Dad, Kang'er will go back first. Dad, don't get too tired. Kang'er will come to the fields after dinner." Jiang Kang was worried about his father's health. After he finished speaking, he gave Jiang Zhuzi some instructions.
"Dad knows. Go back and remember to drink more water." The son's forehead was also covered with sweat. Although Jiang Zhuzi felt distressed, his son was not like his daughter. He could not be raised well. Just like him, he was spoiled by his own mother.
So it doesn’t matter if you’re a little tired.
"Well, Kang'er must drink more water. Sister needs to drink too. Let's go." The brother and sister held hands and followed Jiang Yadan.
Like a mother duck leading her two ducklings across the river.
Cross the wooden bridge and you will see Jiang Fubao's home directly opposite.
The door was open and Jiang Shoujia came out.
"Village chief, are you going to the fields?" Jiang Yadan had a good relationship with the Jiang family in the past. She was warm and generous, and liked to say hello to everyone she met.
"Yes, let's see how Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng are doing. Is Yadan going back to cook? Kang'er, Ning'er, you two are working in the fields. Aren't you tired?" Jiang Shoujia also responded with a smile.
He lowered his head and asked Jiang Kang and Jiang Ning.
The brother and sister are so sensible, just like Jiang Zhuzi and Jiang Yadan. As a family of four, they can live a happy life together.
“Not tired.”
"Not tired." Jiang Kang and Jiang Ning answered at the same time.
"Good kids, go back and have some rest." Jiang Shoujia touched their heads and left with a smile.
"Aunt, what are we going to eat today?" Perhaps he was tired after working all morning, so Jiang Kang raised his head and asked before he even got home. His stomach was already rumbling, even though he clearly didn't eat any frogs from the fields.
Jiang Kang was a little confused.
"How about eating fish? Your father caught some fish in the river yesterday and has kept them in a basin. Hmm, let's make some fish soup and fry some eggs. We have some lard at home. You and Ning'er can each have an egg. Auntie can fry some mushrooms and steam some coarse flour buns. How about that?"
Jiang Yadan thought for a while and replied.
"Not good." Jiang Kang shook his head.
"What's wrong? Kang'er doesn't like eating fish?" Jiang Yadan looked at his nephew in confusion.
"I like it, but I have to fry four eggs, or cut both eggs in half. Aunt and dad will also want to eat it." Jiang Kang raised his right hand, revealing four short little fingers.
"Brother is right. Mom and uncle want to eat too." Jiang Ning echoed from the side.
Her head nods like a rattle.
"Okay, Auntie agrees. I'll fry four eggs, one for Kang'er, one for your father, one for our Ning'er, and one for me, okay?"
Jiang Yadan was somewhat moved.
Anyway, I'm exhausted from spring planting, so it doesn't matter if I indulge myself a little.
The chickens we raise at home can lay an egg every two days, and we can just eat them and save them.
Can't make children unhappy.
