Chapter 197 Full of Love
early morning.
Jiang Miaomiao got up before dawn.
Sitting on the bed, he began to talk to himself.
"Chirp, are there many candidates heading to the Imperial Examination Hall?"
"Chirp, what does the examination room look like? Have you seen it?"
"Jiujiu, is the fourth brother next door going too?"
To be honest, Jiang Miaomiao herself was not that nervous about the college entrance examination before.
Perhaps it was because at this time, her two older brothers were going to take the imperial examination together.
Second brother, don't worry.
It’s mainly my eldest brother. I wonder if he will fall asleep during the exam.
You can't study hard in the examination room.
Jiujiu said that the cells in the examination hall were all small rooms for one person, and they had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the same room.
It’s scary to think about it.
What made her even more unbelievable was that her scumbag father who had disappeared from the face of the earth traveled thousands of miles and, for the first time ever, had someone send a set of the four treasures of the study to each of her brothers.
Even Jiang Zipei, who lives next door, has it.
This is enough to show the importance the ancients attached to scientific examinations.
Jiang Zipei had just passed the provincial examination and became a student last year, and this year he just happened to catch up with the academy examination.
I heard that some people were still students in their fifties or sixties, and there were even scenes of fathers and sons, grandfathers and grandchildren taking the imperial examinations together.
It's a spectacle.
She insisted on going to see it and personally escorted her brothers into the examination room.
"Miss, the two young masters said you don't have to see them off." Xier smiled and helped the young master put on clothes, shoes and socks, combed her hair into a beautiful double bun, and tied a red hairband.
Red is auspicious.
"Where are the brothers?"
"We are having breakfast. Miss, drink this bowl of goat's milk first. There is no rush." Xier handed her the warm goat's milk, watched her finish drinking it, and then carried her out of bed.
Jiang Miaomiao ran to the dining room with her short legs, and Xier lit a lamp for her.
"Big brother, second brother..." The little girl's face turned red from running, but her voice was soft and sweet.
It makes people feel very comfortable when they hear it.
Jiang Ziyan and Jiang Zifeng had finished their breakfast and were checking the things they were going to bring into the examination room.
When they saw their younger sister coming, they both rushed to hug her.
When Xier came back, she told them that the Taoist priest at Qingyun Temple said that her sister was a person of great fortune and was a little lucky charm.
Hug her and get some blessings.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that the brothers were too enthusiastic today, especially the eldest brother, who kissed her so hard that his saliva was on her face.
Forget it, today is a big event in my brothers’ lives, so let them do whatever they want.
There was laughter in the house.
There was a loud knock on the door outside.
Shi Shu was a little surprised when he saw Princess Rong'an, but then he saw Qin Su holding a food box behind him, and he immediately understood.
The princess actually came in person to send her off for the exam. These two gentlemen are so influential!
Princess Rong'an glanced at the food box in his hand and casually asked, "Eunuch Shi, are you also here to deliver a gift on behalf of Prince Jing?"
"That's right, Princess, please go first!"
Princess Rong'an took a step ahead, and quickened her pace as she walked, leaving Shi Shu and the servants far behind.
Qin Su was almost unable to catch up, "Princess, please slow down, be careful not to fall."
"No, I have to let Brother Feng eat the osmanthus cake I made first." Princess Rong'an did not stop, but walked faster.
It looked like Shi Shu was probably sending the same food, so I had to get there before him.
Jiang Miaomiao was eating a bun when she saw Princess Rong'an and Aunt Qin coming in hurriedly.
As soon as she entered the room, she asked the maid to bring out all the food she brought and put it on the table without saying anything.
"Princess, why did you come here in person? You can just let the servants bring it here." Lu Qingyao looked at her and then at the sky.
It's not even daybreak yet.
She thought the Cui family would send something over, but she didn't expect the princess to come in person.
"Aunt, this is what my grandmother and mother asked me to deliver. I wish Brother Feng and Brother Yan will win the top prize and be named on the list of successful candidates." Princess Rong'an said with a smile.
After saying that, he looked at the two brothers and said, "Hurry up and try it. For a good start, this osmanthus cake is made by me."
Jiang Miaomiao tilted her head to look curiously.
Wow!
Osmanthus cake, rice dumplings, pig's trotters...
Osmanthus cake symbolizes winning the first prize in the imperial examination.
"Bao Zong" is pronounced as "bao zhong" in Chinese, which means "to win". If you eat a Zongzi with dates in it, it means you will definitely win, which means you will win early.
Pig's trotter is homophonic with "tibang".
I guess at this moment, all the students in the city who are about to take the imperial examinations have to read this before entering.
Sister Yuan actually prepared two servings and delivered them personally.
She also made the osmanthus cake herself.
This friendship is not light!
My mother smiled and thanked him. "Princess, please thank the old lady and the princess on my behalf. If you haven't had breakfast, please stay and eat with us."
Princess Rong'an nodded, "Aunt, I'd like to accompany you to escort Brother Feng and Brother Yan to the examination room later, is that okay?"
"Of course...it's possible."
Lu Qingyao glanced at her eldest son, who only had eyes for pig's trotters.
I thought this guy must be lucky.
Later, not only the ancestors of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism will have to be worshipped, but also the ancestors of the Jiang and Lu families.
There is always one that works.
Princess Rong'an was overjoyed after hearing this and sat down next to Xiao Miaomiao.
When Jiang Miaomiao looked up, she found that this position was right across from her eldest brother...
Qin Su: ...
Why did the princess sit down?
Is the breakfast at home not delicious?
She twitched her brows as she looked at her princess who was not reserved at all.
Mrs. Lu, the lucky one, is a cheerful and unrestrained person.
When Shi Shu came in, the table was already filled with osmanthus cake, rice dumplings, and pig's trotters.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
There's nothing we can do about the same gift, and it's not appropriate to say goodbye on a day like this.
He also asked his servants to bring in two food boxes. When they opened them, they still contained osmanthus cake, rice dumplings and pig's trotters.
"I wish the two young masters good luck in their imperial examinations and may their names be on the honor roll."
My mother and brothers still thanked him, "Please ask the eunuch to thank the prince on our behalf..."
Before Shi Shu left the yard, he saw several servants coming in with food boxes.
He chuckled.
It seems that he is not the only one who has made the same mistake.
"Sister, these were all sent from Yipinju. I looked and they are all the same dishes." Xiuxiu looked at the food boxes on the table worriedly.
"Why are there so many?" everyone said in unison.
Jiang Miaomiao slid off the stool with a half-eaten bun in her hand and ran over to watch the fun.
A row of food boxes.
Ten boxes...
They are all the same osmanthus cake, rice dumplings, and pig’s trotters!
This is enough for a banquet.
Aunt Xiuxiu introduced them one by one.
"These two boxes were sent by the Duke and Lord Yan."
"These two boxes were sent by Qiao'er's parents through Yipinju."
"These two boxes were sent by Uncle Fu, the village head, on behalf of Taoxi Village, through Yipinju."
"These two boxes were also sent by County Magistrate Xu through Yipinju..."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Could they finish this?
Jiang Miaomiao walked around the table.
Oh wow! This time we can eat as much meat as we want, not just her, but the whole family will eat it.
It’s full of love from family and friends!
The brothers are under a lot of pressure.
The hopes of the entire village are placed here...
Jiang Zifeng's heart was pounding.
This...what if I fail the exam?
If I fail the exam, I will be ashamed to face my fellow villagers...
Jiang Ziyan, who had been calm and composed, became nervous at this moment.
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't be stressed. Just eat some candy..." Little Miaomiao said as he stuffed candy into his brothers' mouths.
