Chapter 26
Chapter 25
Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming are undoubtedly excellent, as dazzling as the sun in the sky, Xu Qingshan thinks he is not as good as them, but Gu Yanzhou is different, he looks good, reads well, and has a good personality. The future is also good.
It’s good everywhere, and you know the root and the bottom. Unlike Yang Sheng and the other two, they said they were grain merchants, but he didn’t think they were like that at all.
The storyteller didn’t say that some men would pretend to be rich men to deceive those girls, and then sell them or force them to do that kind of business.
By the way, what was the name of the book, it seemed to be called saving something, he couldn’t remember.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he was about Jiang Yunzhu. She has a delicate mind, but a girl always suffers from two men.
It’s his cousin, he didn’t think about it before, but looking at him now, isn’t Jiang Yunzhu and Jiang Yunzhu a match made in heaven?
Both of them look like the people in the painting, one is like an orchid branch and a jade tree, and the other is like a bright moon. There is no such good marriage.
And my cousin and aunt also like Jiang Yunzhu very much.
“Cousin, you’re back. What are you thinking?” Seeing Xu Qingshan staring at him, Gu Yanzhou asked with a smile.
“I didn’t think about anything, you want to go out?” Xu Qingshan asked.
Gu Yanzhou shook the painting in his hand, “I drew a painting today, and I’m going to ask the teacher to help me comment.”
Gu Yanzhou is currently studying in the Wenyuan Academy in the county, and he is one of the best.
There are more scholars in Wuling County than in other places, which is related to the special situation here.
Parents have worked hard to earn money and know that it is not easy to make money in the mine, so they don’t want their children to sacrifice their lives for money. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars, only by studying and taking the imperial examination can they reach the sky in one step and shine on the lintel, so everyone spares no money to let their children study and hope that their children will become dragons.
“What’s the painting, can I have a look at it?” Xu Qingshan asked.
Gu Yanzhou felt that he was very strange today, and he didn’t care about his studies at all before. But he said it, and he opened the painting.
Xu Qingshan looked at the painting, but his spirit tightened.
I saw a reef and big waves painted on the painting. As the scroll was opened, the turbulent waves seemed to hit the shore, making people feel palpitations.
“This, is this what you drew?” Xu Qingshan asked.
“Yes. Today, I read Mr. Su Shi’s ‘The rocks pierced through the sky, the stormy waves hit the shore, and a thousand piles of snow were rolled up.’ On a whim, I drew this painting.”
Xu Qingshan doesn’t understand poetry, but he also thinks that the thousand piles of snow are very beautiful, and then corresponds to this painting, and the waves are as beautiful as the snowdrifts.
“You draw really well.” He admired.
Gu Yanzhou shook his head, “Just thinking about it, if there is a chance, I’d better go to Chibi Yatou to see for myself.”
“There will be a chance.” Xu Qingshan responded casually, and then asked, “Do you have anything to do this afternoon?”
“It should be fine, cousin?”
“You go first, I will tell you when you come back.” Xu Qingshan said.
Gu Yanzhou agreed and went out.
At this moment in the Jiang family, Mrs. Chen was helping Jiang Yunzhu move things into the house while looking at her. There were four people when they left, how come two of them came back? Also, those two merchants insisted on taking Jiang Yunzhu to town with them today. They were two young men, and Jiang Yunzhu was a beautiful girl, so she couldn’t help but think about it.
“Mother, just ask if you have any questions.” Jiang Yunzhu said directly.
Instead, Mrs. Chen felt embarrassed, “Then, those two merchants?”
“As soon as we got to town we separated and I don’t know where they went.”
Mrs. Chen still wanted to ask about Xu Qingshan, but when she thought that Jiang Yunzhu didn’t like to mention that matter, she just asked her if she had breakfast.
“No.” Jiang Yunzhu originally planned to skip breakfast and use the saved money to hire a donkey cart to come back.
Chen’s heart ached immediately, he had been busy for a long time, and he still hadn’t eaten yet? As she entered the room to warm up her meal, she said, “Next time if you are in a hurry to go to town, eat a bowl of spicy soup or meat pancakes before going.”
“That’s for sale,” Jiang Yunzhu said. Mainly, she ate it, but Mrs. Chen didn’t eat it herself, nor let Jiang Lin and the others eat it. She ate it alone, and she couldn’t eat it.
Afraid that Mrs. Chen would say anything more, she said again, “Tomorrow I will go to town after breakfast.” The main reason is that these two days are special. Yesterday Mrs. Chen urged her to go to town, and today even Yang Sheng urged her.
Probably not tomorrow.
When Chen heard this, she was stunned. After a while, she brought her breakfast. It was still pancakes and porridge, but there was a boiled egg with a pink skin and a round shape. It was cute to look at.
“Mom, this egg…” Jiang Yunzhu was surprised.
“A few days ago we invited Aunt Feng and the others to dinner. Didn’t they bring two chickens? I kept them in the backyard. Today I went to feed the chickens. Who would have thought that I would find an egg.” Speaking of this egg, Chen’s eyebrows and eyes were smiling. .
Jiang Yunzhu was also very happy.
“Eat quickly.” Chen urged. She originally wanted to save this egg for money, but just now she heard that Jiang Yunzhu hadn’t had breakfast at this time, so she felt sorry for her, so she boiled it.
“Leave it to…” Jiang Yunzhu wanted to say to Mr. Chen or Jiang Cheng, one of them was the oldest, and the other worked harder than her.
“Eat it, here it is for you.” Mrs. Chen directly peeled off the egg and put it into Jiang Yunzhu’s bowl.
The white of the egg is tender and tender, and the burnt yolk inside can be seen through the crystal clear white on the outside.
Jiang Yunzhu ate the pancakes and porridge with the eggs, and this morning was quite satisfactory.
After eating, today was earlier than yesterday, Jiang Yunzhu went back to the room and squinted for a while.
When she woke up, she heard noises in the yard, and when she looked outside, it was Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming who had returned.
She watched them enter the side room and get up to cook.
Knuckles and buckle meat, these are not difficult for her, they just take a little time. She also handles dishes that are particular about heat, such as hot fried kidneys, just right. In the middle, she made Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming’s lunch by the way.
Jiang Lin had been waiting there for a long time. He had so much cooking today that he couldn’t handle it by himself. Mrs. Chen went out with him to deliver food to the foot of the mountain.
There will be more people ordering meals in the future, and delivery of meals will also be a problem, Jiang Yunzhu thought while looking at their backs.
But this is not a problem. When that time comes, she will naturally have a way.
After washing her hands, she brought Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming’s meals to the side room.
Today she made them lion’s head, stir-fried yam, and a dish of mapo tofu.
Two fist-sized lion heads look mighty. The fried yam is pure white and placed in a white porcelain plate, like white jade. Mapo tofu, what you want is spicy and delicious.
“Miss Jiang, I’m sorry to trouble you.” Yang Sheng said with a smile.
“No trouble, eat while it’s hot.” Jiang Yunzhu replied.
“it is good.”
Yang Sheng sat down and took a bite of the lion’s head, which was smooth and delicious, and then another bite of mapo tofu, um, delicious!
“What if we can’t eat such delicious meals in the future?” He muttered.
Shen Fengming’s hand holding the vegetables paused.
In the afternoon, it was time to learn calligraphy. Jiang Yunzhu slept for a while this morning, and now she is in good spirits, so she decided to study calligraphy hard.
