Chapter 273: Different
Some people also heard that the most rare thing about Mr. Song was that after he passed the imperial examination, he did not show off in public, nor did he hold banquets. He just stayed in Guanghua Garden all day and continued to study hard...
Jiang Mixia heard these rumors, "..."
Since the announcement of the results, Song Jingyun has indeed been very low-key. He has declined many invitations to banquets and stayed in Courtyard No. 8 all day long.
But the reason for staying in Courtyard No. 8 is not to study, but...
"Madam, this piece of meat is almost done, is it ready to eat?"
"Madam, I want to put less chili and more cumin in the mutton this time."
"My dear, the cabbage and tofu stew on the stove is ready. Just add some coriander and it's ready to serve."
"My dear, this sour plum is delicious, please try it..."
Seeing Song Jingyun feasting here, Jiang Mixia held her forehead helplessly, "You've been eating more and more in the past two days, be careful not to upset your stomach."
"No, my stomach can hold everything." Song Jingyun raised his hand and patted his stomach playfully.
This is indeed the truth. Song Jingyun's stomach seems to be never full and he can eat any delicious food.
Jiang Mixia couldn't help but smile, "Even if you don't get an upset stomach, the way you eat is really exaggerated. It's not like you won't be able to eat these in the future, so there's no need to eat so much at once."
After all, it does put some burden on the stomach and intestines.
Song Jingyun disagreed, and even wrinkled his face. "After every exam, I have a poor appetite for a few days. At that time, the food tastes like chewing wax and I can't swallow it. It's very uncomfortable. I have to eat more while my appetite is good now, so as to make up for it."
Jiang Mixia, "..."
The young son-in-law's way of thinking is indeed different from others.
But speaking of this palace examination...
Jiang Mixia handed a steamed bun with milk flavor baked on the small charcoal grill to Song Jingyun, "I wonder what kind of questions will be asked in this palace examination."
Can Song Jingyun answer the questions fluently?
"It doesn't matter what the topic is." Song Jingyun didn't care.
At this moment, he was only concerned about how the piece of meat stuffed with green peppers on the grill was cooking.
The skin of the green pepper has become a little burnt, showing tiger skin patterns. I think it’s almost ready to eat!
As Song Jingyun spoke, he took a brush and brushed a layer of rich sauce on the skin of the green pepper.
Seeing that Song Jingyun's eyes were full of food, Jiang Mixia didn't ask any other questions and just concentrated on helping Song Jingyun grill the remaining meat and vegetables.
As for the palace examination, that would be a matter of a few days, we'll talk about it then! In the next few days, Song Jingyun still stayed indoors, and only made all kinds of snacks with Jiang Mixia in Courtyard No. 8, eating until they were almost full.
However, while satisfying his appetite, Song Jingyun did not neglect the lessons assigned by his martial arts master. He practiced horse stance, boxing, and lifting a small stone mortar every day...
The muscle lines on the body appear increasingly smooth and flowing.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the palace examination.
A group of tribute candidates arrived at the gate of the imperial palace early and waited. When the time came, they were led by officials from the Ministry of Rites through the layers of palace gardens to the Zhongyuan Palace.
More than two hundred people lined up in a long queue and moved forward slowly.
Because they had to get up early and the palace examination would last almost a whole day, the candidates who came to the palace examination today wanted to avoid being disrespectful in front of the palace. Before going to the palace, they all ate and drank a lot. Now their stomachs were bloated, and they felt much more comfortable after walking around.
