Chapter 143 Heavy Love
During this period, there are many people who want to send their children to study.
In addition, students had to prepare for the provincial examination in April, so Meng Ziting and Zhang Wenbin were almost too busy to handle the whole process.
Song Jingyun was also quite busy.
Busy reading, busy socializing.
Because he won the first place in the county examination, people in the village often came to congratulate him.
Originally, Jiang Mixia wanted to stop all these things for Song Jingyun, but she thought that since Song Jingyun was going to take the imperial examination, he would definitely have to deal with the human relationships in the future.
It’s also good to exercise once or twice early in the morning.
What's more, Song Jingyun has adapted very well to this world and can handle many things on his own.
And Song Jingyun seemed to have a way to deal with these things. People who came to congratulate him always came with smiles on their faces and left with even more smiles on their faces.
Because there were so many people coming to our house, we received all kinds of things.
Vegetables, meat, eggs, fresh fish...
There was more than enough food at home, so Jiang Mixia and Liu worked together to make some, and gave some subsidies to the workers in the workshop and the porcelain kiln.
Every day, various foods are stewed in large pots, and the fragrance lingers for a long time.
Jiang Chunbao's eyes turned red when he heard this.
They all passed the county examination. When he passed the exam, no one came to their house to give them gifts.
Besides, it was just passing the county exam, which was just some very basic interpretation questions. You could pass it with your eyes closed. It was not a big deal. You had to pass the exam to become a student or a scholar. That was a real skill! Jiang Chunbao secretly made up his mind to study hard and stand out in this provincial exam. He wanted everyone to see that he, Jiang Chunbao, was a good candidate for serious study and a person who could bring honor to his family. - Days passed one by one, and it was already mid-March.
In spring, flowers are blooming, grass is growing, and birds are singing. Everywhere is a thriving scene.
The date for the provincial examination was set for April 12th.
The registration procedure is the same as that for the county examination. You need to prepare in advance and go to the provincial capital to register.
Thinking that they could visit the provincial capital for a while, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun decided to go there and stay for a while.
Jiang Mixia began to pack the things she was going to take to the provincial capital.
"These are the things you like to eat on weekdays, you need to bring them."
"These teacups are what you usually use, do you want to take them with you?"
"Yes, this quilt is newly made, not too thick or too thin, and is the best to use in spring. I'll make a bundle for you."
"I made some noodles as you said last time, adding eggs and alkaline water. They are very chewy when cooked. I'll take some with me..."
Looking at the things packed into several large baskets that probably couldn't even fit into a carriage, Jiang Mixia felt for the first time the weight of her parents' love.
"Mom, you won't need so many things." Jiang Mixia saw Liu still packing and hurriedly stopped her, "Jingyun and I will only be gone for a month at most. We won't rent a yard there, we'll just stay in an inn. We'll have everything we need for food and drink in the inn. Just bring two sets of clothes to change into."
"If there are other things you need, just buy them in the city."
With a bulging wallet, Jiang Mixia feels that she is not afraid of going anywhere and has the confidence.
"Yeah, you don't need to bring so many things. You won't be away for long." Jiang Youcheng also echoed, "If you bring so many things, others will think you are going to do something. Jing Yun is going to take an exam, so it is inevitable that he will meet many classmates and scholars from other academies."
You have to save your face, lest people think you come from a remote area and look down on you.
After all, it is a provincial capital, and it is quite different from a county town.
Seeing that Jiang Mixia and Jiang Youchengdu were trying to dissuade them, Liu was also worried about losing face for Song Jingyun, so she had to take out all the prepared things, but in the end she still asked Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun to take some noodles.
"It's made with water and noodles from home. Eat some from time to time when you go to far away places to avoid feeling uncomfortable in the unfamiliar place." Mrs. Liu reminded.
People are shaped by the land and water they live in. It is inevitable that you may have difficulty adapting to the local climate and water when you move to another place. It will never be a bad idea to bring some of your own things with you.
Even if there were two large bags of noodles, they were not very heavy, and since it was Liu's gift, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun naturally did not refuse.
Just like that, with the eager farewell of Liu, Jiang Youcheng, Jiang Zhengxin and many people in the village, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun got on the carriage and set off for Taisong Mansion.
The sun is shining and spring is in full bloom. Through the carriage window, one can see the lush farmland, thriving trees and green grass on both sides of the official road. One can even see butterflies flying and hear the melodious singing of birds.
After Jiang Mixia arrived here, the farthest she had been was to the county town, the tea garden, and the farm. This was her first time to the provincial capital.
Jiang Mixia felt relaxed and happy at the thought of being able to see a more prosperous city in this era.
The same is true for Song Jingyun.
He seemed much more excited than Jiang Mixia.
"Ma'am, look, there's a small river over there. It's quite wide."
"Madam, there is an apricot tree by the roadside."
"Madam, there are so many sheep over there..."
Since they got on the official road, Song Jingyun almost never stopped talking, chattering like a little sparrow.
His family started to get busy, and after Song Jingyun started studying, he became very busy. He could only go out to play occasionally, but the time was very short.
It can be said that Jiang Mixia hasn't seen Song Jingyun so happy for a long time.
The young son-in-law was happy, and Jiang Mixia felt relieved and cooperated with him.
The coachman, a young man in his twenties, couldn't help scratching his head when he saw Song Jingyun so excited.
When they just set out from the village, he also heard a general idea and knew that Song Jingyun was going to the provincial capital to take the exam.
Since you are going to take an exam, you are a scholar.
But all the scholars he had met were steady, reserved, and serious. Song Jingyun was so excited like a child, and he didn't look calm like an ordinary scholar at all.
It's really special.
The driver complained in his heart for a while.
But after driving a rickshaw for many years, the rickshaw driver Zhou Erhe knew that the most important thing in this job was to keep his mouth shut and speak less, so he just kept all the questions in his mind to himself and did not open his mouth.
It takes two days for a horse carriage to travel from Jiangjia Village to Taisong Mansion.
At night, we stayed in Liyang County (fictional).
Liyang County is about the same size as Fengyang County, where Jiangjia Village is located, and the county is as lively as Fengyang County.
Zhou Erhe often drove outside and passed by Liyang County before. He helped Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun find Yuelai Inn, an old inn in the county.
Yuelai Inn is not small and currently has two superior guest rooms.
After a busy period, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun led Zhou Erhe to settle down and ordered some food.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Erhe went to feed the horses and take a rest, while Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun prepared to go out for a walk.
