Chapter 868 Because I am yours, always yours
The group had originally decided on a whim to come to the farm to relax for a few days and look around the land. Their main purpose was to kill time.
However, after Uncle Xu proposed his idea, more and more people were attracted to participate, and it became even busier than before.
Mr. Qi knows nothing about farming, but he has his own unparalleled strengths.
After thinking for a few days, Mr. Qi decided to take his beloved apprentice with him to compile a medical book.
However, he was not good at practice and his control over books was obviously weak. He could often be heard arguing with Mr. Hu, and neither of them was willing to give in.
But as long as there is no fighting, no one cares.
Xu Minghui originally planned to stay for two days and then leave, but before he knew it, it was the fifth day and he was still reluctant to leave.
Xu Minghui said worriedly: "Uncle San, tools are also very important, very important."
"The farming tools you modified previously are all very useful, saving effort and making them faster. The methods of improvement and their specific forms are also very important!"
"Or I should..."
"You're not going to take the scientific examination?"
Uncle Xu slowly raised his head from a pile of books and said calmly, "Minghui, have you forgotten that tomorrow is the day of the exam?"
It's already this late in the game, and the person who is determined to take the imperial examination doesn't read books or write articles, but keeps pestering him about farming tools!
What on earth does he want to do? !
Xu Minghui was silent for a moment, but then he insisted, "I still believe that the improvement of tools should be synchronized with the improvement of farming methods."
Uncle Xu: “…”
He suddenly felt that this boy’s biggest ambition was not to become the top scholar in the imperial examination, but he probably wanted to go back to the village with him to farm.
Uncle Xu was so annoyed that he waved him off: "Go, go, go, hurry back to the city and prepare for the exam."
"I know what you're talking about. Do your best on the exam. If you don't pass, I'll have your big brother give you a hand."
Xu Minghui looked back every few steps as he walked, and was finally caught by Uncle Xu and hit with a walnut.
Nan Weiwei stayed here for a few days and was preparing to return to Kyoto with Xu Minghui today.
This was the first imperial examination after the new emperor ascended the throne. Xu Minghui was the only candidate from several families, so she had to send Xu Minghui to the examination room.
Xu Minghui felt from the bottom of his heart that it was unnecessary.
Although Mr. Xue abided by his duties and did not give him the clues about the questions, he never stopped helping Xu Minghui to set and solve the questions even though he was extremely busy.
The emperor has said more than once that he is waiting for Xu Minghui to go and share his worries, and he even has plans for what to do specifically. It is impossible for him to fail the exam.
Even if he didn't care about external things and only competed with real talents and knowledge, Xu Minghui had never been afraid.
Becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination is not just an empty boast.
He really has the confidence and ability to do so.
Xu Minghui looked deeply at Nan Weiwei and said softly, "It's too much trouble to come and go."
"Wait for me here. I'll be back after the exam in three days. Then..."
"I don't."
Nan Weiwei stood on tiptoe and covered Xu Minghui's mouth, smiling with her eyes curved, saying, "If I don't personally escort you to the examination room, what if you change your mind and don't want to marry me? Who can I talk to then?"
Xu Minghui let her cover his mouth and hummed in a helpless manner.
Feeling the warmth in his palm, Nan's ears flushed slightly as he retracted his hand. He said seriously, "I'm not only going to escort you into the examination room, I'm also going to be there to pick you up as soon as possible."
"When the results are announced, I'll have to be quick to grab you, lest someone else snatch you away."
Xu Minghui was about to say who would be so blind as to snatch him away, but before he could finish his words, he heard Nan Weiwei say quietly, "Haven't you heard of the saying 'catch a son-in-law from the list'?"
“Someone in my family did that!”
Grabbing people, grabbing good-looking men, it’s a family tradition!
Xu Minghui finally chuckled at the cunning look in Nan Weiwei's eyes, took Nan Weiwei's hand and whispered, "It won't be snatched away."
"How do you know that..."
"Because I'm yours."
Nan blinked helplessly. Xu Minghui lowered his head and kissed her wrist, then smiled and said, "I have always been yours."
So even if Nan Weiwei regretted and didn't want him anymore, he would never let her go.
The person in front of him can only be his.
Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou had specifically asked for leave from their superiors in the army and were rushing to send Xu Minghui to take the exam today.
But after seeing this scene, the two boys stopped and turned around at the same time. They didn't want to go anymore.
Xu Mingyang bared his teeth and said, "How could we possibly do such a rude thing?"
"Absolutely not!"
Xu Minghui just looks good-tempered.
When he dealt with people, he was even more ruthless than Xu Yu!
Sang Yanyou had a sullen look on his face. He stuffed his mouth full of snacks and finally managed to swallow them with his neck stiff. He drank half a pot of tea and agreed, "No, no, we're not going."
"Sister, can we have another braised pork elbow tonight?"
Sang Zhixia smiled and said, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but the way you're eating, won't you get sick from overeating?"
Less than an hour later, he had already eaten two roast chickens, eight plates of dim sum, and some tea.
Even the steamed yogurt that was exclusive to Nuonuo and Yuanbao every day was shared among three bowls.
He didn’t eat so much at home before. Did he go to the army for training or did he come back from fleeing famine?
Xu Mingyang touched his stomach and sighed: "Sister-in-law, how about killing a pig? I think we can finish it."
Sang Zhixia: "..."
"Were you starved in the army?"
"I'm not hungry, I'm greedy."
Xu Mingyang's face was filled with gloom. "I eat a fixed amount every day. I won't starve to death, but I'm just surviving. What's even worse is that there's no meat. Not even a trace of it."
Even if there is a little bit of oil occasionally, it is just a fake. Once it enters the mouth, before the tongue can taste it, it rolls down the throat and disappears.
The boy is a good eater and would drool in his dreams if he missed a bite of meat.
Xu Minghui and Sang Yanyou were used to eating at home, and every day they were so greedy that they would bite their sleeves and cry with tears in their eyes when no one was around.
Sang Zhixia probably knew the situation in the army, but she had no intention of making things easy for her own boy.
These two guys, who were so greedy that they wanted to eat a whole pig in three bites as soon as they got home, only complained. In fact, they never mentioned their family background in the army and abided by the military rules very well.
Sang Zhixia looked at the people who were still stuffing their snacks into their mouths, laughed for a moment and said, "We can't slaughter pigs. There's no pig farming here."
"But we have some fresh venison. Can we have them prepare the rack and grill it tonight?"
"Oh, so what are you waiting for tonight?"
Sang Yanyou stuffed the last half of the dessert into his mouth, stood up hurriedly and clapped his hands: "Where is the food?"
"Let's go now!"
The original plan was to have barbecue in the evening, and Uncle Xu even specially found two jars of good wine for this purpose.
Unfortunately, the two boys, who were so greedy that they wanted to chase the pig and eat it raw, could not wait any longer. Not long after they cleared the lunch bowls and chopsticks, a barbecue rack was set up in the yard.
The person who had been trapped in the deep palace for many days entered the manor without disturbing anyone. Before he reached the destination, he heard laughter coming from the courtyard.
Jiang Yubai took off the dragon robe that symbolized the supremacy of imperial power, and dressed in white, he looked like an unruly young man from a noble family.
He had a look of complacency that I knew he would be like this. He twirled his folding fan in his hand, his eyes curved with a smile: "See, I knew I could do no wrong by following you."
"Places with many people are really lively..."
