Chapter 204 The Holding Back Mother
That night.
The full moon is shining brightly.
The whole garden is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus trees.
There is also a scent of meat.
"Brother, eat walnuts..."
"Second brother is eating too..."
Jiang Miaomiao nestled in her eldest brother's arms, munching on walnut kernels.
From time to time, she would stuff the walnut kernels that her brothers peeled for her back into the mouths of her eldest and second brothers.
At this time, the eldest and second brothers had already showered, changed clothes, eaten and rested.
This gave me time to get together with the whole family to enjoy the moon, drink wine and barbecue.
Of course, there is also chatting.
Under the osmanthus tree, Jiang Miaomiao asked her eldest brother to hug her, then asked her second brother to hug her.
He buried his head in their arms and sniffed.
Hey! It smells good.
It is a sandalwood fragrance with a bookish air.
But it was soon overwhelmed by the aroma of barbecue. I guess after eating the barbecue, everyone's clothes would be covered with the smell of barbecue.
The little girl hadn't even swallowed the walnuts in her mouth when she took the barbecue skewers that Aunt Xiuxiu handed to her eldest brother.
Mother glanced at her.
Jiang Miaomiao gave her a well-behaved smile, acting cute.
Lu Qingyao shook her head, "No, I've already eaten a lot."
The eldest brother took the skewers from her hand.
However, I still stuffed a piece into my mother's mouth while she wasn't paying attention.
So fragrant and delicious.
The smell of roasted lamb was so delicious that it made her crave it.
The eldest brother wiped her mouth, then began to tell her about what he saw and heard during the scientific expedition while chewing on the mutton.
"Mother, Xing'er prepared some steamed buns and baked cakes that are easy to digest and keep, and there's plenty of water. But Pei'er is in trouble. His mother doesn't even know what she prepared for him. He has an upset stomach and keeps having diarrhea, several times a day. My cell is right next to his, and the smell is indescribable... It almost affected my performance..."
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
She stretched out her little hand towards her second brother, "Brother, give me a hug."
I originally wanted to eat my brother's roast lamb, but now I have no appetite at all.
I don’t know how my brother has the ability to eat with such relish while saying things that are hard to swallow.
Aunt Xiuxiu came over with the roasted lamb, turned the hand she was handing to him, and put it in the second brother's hand.
Sister Qiaoer almost spit out the osmanthus wine she had just taken, and she quickly covered it with a handkerchief.
Mother simply tore off a large piece of meat and stuffed it into my brother's mouth.
Even eating meat can't stop your mouth...
Jiang Ziyan quickly took over his eldest brother's words, "Mother, luckily, my eldest brother practices martial arts every day, and I also practice the Five Animal Exercises every day. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to endure those few days. But Pei'er wasn't so lucky. He looked even more fragile than a girl, and he ate some terrible things, so he almost died..."
"Is it that serious?" Lu Qingyao looked at her son.
Yan'er is about the same height as Jiang Zipei. Although she looks thin, her small body has become much stronger after years of training.
After eating something and taking a nap, my mental state returned to normal.
Jiang Ziyan nodded, "Well, I saw that on the last day, he relied on those few pieces of ginseng to survive..."
Xiuxiu asked curiously, "What did he eat?"
"It smells like rice dumplings and pig's trotters." Jiang Ziyan was very familiar with the smell.
Before going to the Imperial Examination Hall, he tasted a little of everything.
"Why prepare all that for the child?" Lu Qingyao's jaw dropped after hearing what her son said. "They've all passed the county and prefectural exams. They shouldn't make mistakes in things like this..."
Such an environment, such a hot day.
Children's stomachs cannot tolerate those things, so every family prepares easily digestible and non-perishable food for students.
Qi Caiwei was so surprised that such a mistake could be made in such an important matter. She didn't know what to say.
I have seen sons cheating their parents, but I have never seen parents cheating their sons.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that without Mei Gu as her right-hand man, Qi Caiwei's intelligence must have dropped.
No wonder she seemed not very smart before.
Jiang Zifeng also smacked his lips. "My brother and I couldn't bear to watch this anymore, so we asked the examiners to help and each of them gave him some water to drink."
Jiang Ziyan shook his head and sighed, "The water for the Imperial Examination Hall is only drawn from the well once or twice a year. Pei Ge'er's delicate body couldn't handle it. She's had diarrhea since the second day... I'm afraid she hasn't even finished her paper yet..."
Speaking of which, that kid has changed a lot in recent years. He even knows to greet them and call them brother when he sees them.
It seems that reading the books at Donglin Academy was not in vain.
It’s a pity that I met a mother who holds me back.
Xiuxiu didn't understand, "Why can't Kekao eat those?"
In just three days, those things wouldn't be so rotten that they can't be eaten, right?
"It's best not to eat. In such an environment and in such a tense atmosphere, it is a torture to people's body and mind. It is naturally better to eat food that is easy to digest, has a strong sense of satiety and is not easy to spoil. In order to reduce the number of times you need to go to the toilet, you should not drink too much water. The well water in the Gongyuan is definitely not drinkable..." My mother rambled on and on.
Aunt Xiuxiu asked her, "Sister, how come you know all this, but Qi Caiwei doesn't?"
"That's because Jiang Yunze told me about his experience in the imperial examination. I think he also instructed Qi Caiwei, but she left it to the servants and didn't take it seriously." Lu Qingyao recalled the past.
Actually, the reason why she knew all this was because Jiang Yunze, in order to win her sympathy, told her in detail about the hardships he had suffered in the scientific expedition.
She was heartbroken for quite a while.
But Qi Caiwei is different.
The woman considered herself a noble lady and looked down on Jiang Yunze at first.
Even though she was forced to marry Jiang Yunze, she still maintained her noble demeanor.
What they are keen on is the moonlit night.
The dramas that Jiang Yunze and she played were all about talented men and beautiful women with unfulfilled ambitions.
If I tell her about my miserable and poor life, I'm afraid I won't get her sympathy.
But disgust and contempt.
Speaking of scumbag dads, the topic came to an abrupt end.
"Let's not talk about this. Let's change the subject. Princess Rong'an is about to return to Beijing. What farewell gift are you planning to give her?" Xiuxiu coughed twice and asked the children.
"Let me draw a picture for my sister, the princess." Jiang Ziyan looked at her mother.
Lu Qingyao thought this was great, Yan'er's painting skills were superb.
The book he drew for Miaomiao is both vivid and interesting, and can make people happy all day long.
Even the illustration of the first-grade Juna mushroom was drawn by him.
The girl's creative ideas were also mixed in. Next to the mushroom picture, there were little mushroom people with big heads and small bodies. There were some pictures about seeing little people after eating poisonous mushrooms, lying on the board, etc.
The time spent flipping through the pages makes customers forget the long wait for cooking mushrooms.
She looked at her eldest son, "Feng'er, what about you?"
Jiang Zifeng scratched his head and looked at the small porcelain bottle in Sister Qiao'er's hand. His eyes lit up. "Mother, I'll give the princess a few pots of osmanthus wine. What do you think?"
"Okay... okay, give me osmanthus cake and I will give you osmanthus wine in return." Lu Qingyao smiled awkwardly.
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
Suddenly, he said, "Brother, we've finished the osmanthus wine."
Qiao'er glanced at the little guy and nodded repeatedly in agreement, "No more, only this bottle is left."
