But for Wu Weian, as long as he really tries his best, there is still a chance.
And these days, Wu Weian has indeed been getting up earlier than the chickens and sleeping later than the dogs.
Then she felt relieved.
There are more than ten pawnshops and auction houses in the entire Shangjing City, and there are also some in various places.
Ji Yunxi calculated her year-end bonus for the whole day and only completed one-third of it.
But there was still time, so Ji Yunxi packed up her things and prepared to go to bed.
"Third sister! Are you asleep?!" Ji Mingyan's clear and excited voice came from outside the door.
Ji Yunxi blew out the light without hesitation: "Go to sleep."
Ji Mingyan had already opened the door and ran over to light the light again, "I knew you weren't asleep yet!"
Ji Yunxi, who was sitting beside the bed: "..."
Since Ji Yunxi grew up, the brothers in the family have been very careful and would not disturb her at night unless necessary, and would never enter her bedroom so late.
Only this sixth brother was an accident.
In Sixth Brother’s mind, there is no distinction between men and women, only whether he wants to find one or not.
Moreover, Ji Yunxi felt that Sixth Brother didn't understand the love between men and women, nor did he need it. He just wanted his bottles and jars, a kitchen to cook in, and people who could appreciate his cooking.
Ji Yunxi had a blank expression on her face: "It's so late, what can I do for you, Sixth Brother?"
Ji Mingyan sat down beside Ji Yunxi's bed, pulled her sleeve, his eyes sparkling: "I just made a pot of soup in the small kitchen in the yard..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Ji Yunxi knew what he was going to say and interrupted him directly: "You know, I don't eat at night."
"Oh, Sixth Brother knows, so I left the soup outside and didn't bring it in for you." Ji Mingyan bit his lip. "It's just that, Third Sister, I gave a bowl to the eldest brother and a bowl to the seventh brother, but I still have one bowl left. Are you really not going to drink it?"
Ji Yunxi: "No."
Ji Mingyan tried hard to promote his soup: "Brother finished it and said it tasted good."
Ji Yunxi laughed in her heart. Over the years, her brother had become as strong as steel. He was not afraid of bitterness or sadness, and he was neither sad nor happy.
Ji Mingyan continued: "Seventh brother has finished drinking too."
Ji Yunxi glanced at the sixth brother. Everyone in the mansion knew that Ji Mingshuang was the softest-hearted person. If he was coaxed a little, the seventh brother would do it.
Ji Yunxi made the final decision: "If you really don't want to drink, let others drink it."
Ji Mingyan is a person who can switch between extreme enthusiasm and extreme coldness. Similarly, the soup he carefully prepares is not something that everyone can drink.
He might as well pour it out if he gave it to others.
As for drinking for himself, he never drinks what he brews himself, nor does he eat what he cooks himself.
Ji Mingyan felt distressed and counted on his fingers: "Third sister, you don't know how many good things I used up in this soup. I put a lot of the Danzhi you bought last time. And my thousand-year-old ginseng, I also put half a fairy jade pill..."
Ji Yunxi: “…”
Well, that means this bowl of soup is worth a lot of money.
Ji Mingyan looked at his third sister's face and saw that she seemed to be relenting, so he hurriedly said, "I'll bring it in for you!"
"No." Ji Yunxi still refused.
Many years ago, Sixth Brother used this method to coax her into drinking a bowl of soup. The indescribable taste still scars Ji Yunxi to this day.
She makes money to enjoy herself, to eat the best food and drink the best drinks.
Instead, drink the worst drink...
However, Ji Yunxi didn't want to waste it, so she thought of her cash cow that she had studied hard at night.
Ji Yunxi curled the corners of her lips.
Ji Mingyan subconsciously sat a little further away.
He was never afraid of his third sister's cold face; instead, he was more afraid of her laughing.
If you smile, someone will suffer.
Ji Yunxi turned her head and said to him, "Sixth brother, if you're not sleepy right now, why don't you take this soup to An Lang? He's studying hard and still awake at this hour. Besides, this soup is made with the finest elixirs, and An Lang needs nourishment right now, so isn't it just right?"
Ji Mingyan's eyes lit up and he slapped his head: "Oh, right, how could I forget about my brother-in-law!"
He stood up suddenly: "I'll take it to him right away!"
"Wait." Ji Yunxi stopped him and added meaningfully, "Sixth brother, you have to tell An Lang what you used to make this soup."
Ji Mingyan said okay, without bothering about why he said it, and left in a hurry.
Ji Yunxi blew out the light, lay down comfortably, and soon fell asleep.
-
"This is?"
Wu Weian looked at the bowl of dark soup on the table, and his sleepiness disappeared a lot.
Ji Mingyan dragged a chair over and sat down beside him. "I made this specially for tonight. I just decided on a name for it on the way here. It's called Spring Examination First Class Soup!"
Wu Weian: “…”
Ji Mingyan continued, "Ming Shuang has also drunk. Like you, he is also a candidate for the top prize in next year's Spring Examination! So, brother-in-law, drink quickly. I'll watch you drink."
Wu Weian: “…”
Wu Weian has always relied on his immune body to eat and drink anything except sour food.
After all, before coming to the capital, he traveled around, sleeping in the open air, and he didn't have much money, so he was not picky and just wanted to eat whatever he wanted.
But he was also a little scared at this moment.
He seemed to smell something sour.
Wu Wei'an asked tentatively, "I seem to smell the scent of black plums?"
Ji Mingyan's eyes lit up, and he was very excited: "Brother-in-law, you are amazing! I did add black plums, and I also added some schisandra chinensis and hawthorn!"
Wu Wei'an smiled apologetically: "Sixth brother, I'm really sorry, I can never eat sour food."
Ji Mingyan exclaimed, "Can't you eat sour food?"
Wu Wei'an nodded, closed the lid and pushed it back: "Sixth brother, I appreciate your kindness."
Ji Mingyan was a little annoyed: "If I had known earlier, I would not have added these. Don't worry, I will remember your taste in the future."
