Chapter 390 The End of Autumn
Mr. Zhou is even a little crazy about her child's future, so it would be better for Mister Li to suppress her. If she knew that Yang Fugui had become a scholar, she would probably be greatly stimulated, and she doesn't know what else she could do.
“Thank you, auntie, for taking such trouble for me.” Yang Fugui was very moved, and the corners of his eyes were a little scarlet.
Yang Daya also thanked him.
Jiang Ning waved his hand, "I have watched you all grow up. It's just a small effort, no need to say thank you. Fugui, take a good rest, take good care of yourself, and then think carefully about what to do next."
After Jiang Ning left, Yang Daya said: "Fugui, my uncle is right. You are still young, so don't worry."
Yang Fugui nodded and slowly closed his eyes. Seeing Yang Daya was about to leave, he suddenly murmured in a low voice: "Sister, do you think it would be great if the eldest uncle was our biological mother!"
Yang Daya paused, feeling unbearably sad, "You have a good rest, I'll leave first."
She thought the same way before, until Qian died trying to save her
The next day, before dawn, Jiang Ning sent his two sons to the examination room. When he got home, he became nervous. This was the last exam, and success or failure depended on it.
Yang Santie, who entered the examination room, got the paper and saw the questions, his eyes widened instantly.
There is no other reason. The topics this time are all real problems.
The first question asked candidates about the current situation of the east wall of the city and how to feasibly reduce the financial pressure on the government; the second question asked how to increase the financial revenue of Quzhou Prefecture; the third question asked about the existence of some special circumstances in Fukushima, through astronomical and calendar analysis. ; The fourth question analyzes several earth-dragon turns and celestial phenomena in the history of Quzhou Prefecture; the fifth and sixth questions are all related to the Dragon King Temple.
But the question is very obscure, and the Dragon King Temple has not been made public. Most people have no idea what happened in such a place. The question is tricky and realistic. If you answer it in a stupid way, you will definitely fail the exam. Answering it seriously will involve some sensitive issues. How to grasp this Degree is what matters most.
Each question is on the edge of a knife, and there is no way to be vague. As soon as Yang Santie picked up the pen, he felt hot all over and his forehead was wet.
He had so many resources that others did not have, but it was still so difficult for him, let alone others. Less than half a day after the exam started, a cry came from the distance. He was surprised at first, but then he sighed and quickly lowered his head and continued to do the questions. It only took him one day to complete two questions. For the first time, he stayed up late at night to answer them.
During this period, people were carried out one after another, and some people were carried away from his room. Thinking of Yang Sizhuang, his face became paler and he quickly drank two sips of mint water to wake up.
The three-day exam passed by in a blink of an eye, and all the candidates who passed the exam felt like they had experienced a catastrophe. They started crying when they saw their relatives, and burst into tears without any image.
Jiang Ning looked more and more worried, and when he saw Yang Erdan, he hurried forward to greet him, "How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yang Erdan smiled reassuringly and took a step back, "Mom, I smell very bad now. Don't come close to me. I'm fine. Where's the triathlon?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Santie also came out. His expression was a little worse than that of Yang Erdan, but that didn't matter.
Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led them home.
On the way, Yang Santie looked at Yang Erdan, "Second brother, what do you think of the third exam?"
Yang Erdan grinned, "I think it's okay. The previous test was too weak and impractical. This test asked about all the things I have been exposed to. One is the structure of the houses in the north of the city, the city wall in the east, and the Dragon King Temple. Design, and Miao Village, these are all admitted. Fortunately, Aniang is always by my side. Mr. Ji doesn't avoid me when talking about those political affairs, so I know more or less.
And Uncle Liang, he has said all this. I just need to add some of my own opinions when answering the questions. It’s not difficult. What about you? "
Yang Santie smiled bitterly and sighed, "I think those unrealistic questions are more suitable for me. This test is too pragmatic, and I don't know if my answers are correct." Jiang Ning quickly comforted: "No matter what How about it, forget it after the exam, you go back and have a good rest, don’t think too much about anything else.”
Yang Santie nodded obediently and asked: "Auntie, if we pass the autumn period, we will go to the capital to attend the spring period. I know that Brother Nuoshan is waiting for the results of this autumn period. If we pass the exam, he will go with us. "
Jiang Ning paused, looked at the scenery outside, and said thoughtfully: "It depends on the situation. If any of you pass the exam, I will go to the capital with you."
She may not have been there for a long time. If she doesn’t leave now, she won’t be able to leave even if she wants to in a few years.
Yang Santie was overjoyed, “Great!”
Jiang Ning joked: "Do you think you are confident?"
“Hehe.” Yang Santie giggled twice, but he was not modest at all.
Jiang Ning then thought about it. He had already become a disciple of Mrs. Ming San. If he couldn't even get through Qiu Wei, he might not have the shame to go out to meet people in the future.
Since the child is confident, she should also prepare for travel as early as possible.
Back at Zhuangzi, Jiang Ning asked his servants to help the two of them wash up, and secretly brought Xu Yan over, "It seems that there will be a happy event in our family in all likelihood."
Xu Nuoyan’s eyes lit up and his stomach tightened with excitement, “Auntie, you mean.”
Jiang Ning shook his head and said meaningfully: "It's just possible. Don't announce it to the outside world until the results come out. I just ask you, how many noodles have been made with the jade stones that Santie brought back?"
Xu Nuoyan hurriedly asked his personal maid Yu Huan to fetch the account books.
"Aniang, look at it. My daughter-in-law is very heavy during this period and doesn't sit for a long time. Fortunately, a few Zhenniangs trained in the workshop can work, and Daya helps. So far, she has only made 85 sets of noodles, five of which Ten sets of gold inlaid jade heads and faces, with patterns such as plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, peony, rose, lily, rose, peony, osmanthus, etc. I made more than thirty sets just for flowers and plants, and the rest were butterflies, cicadas, dragonflies, birds, orioles, peacocks, phoenixes and other insects and birds. .
The daughter-in-law knew that Phoenix should not be used randomly, so she only made one set. She chose the most beautiful jade and asked Zhenniang, the best craftsman, to do it. She also inlaid pearls. If she didn't use it on weekdays, she could keep it as a treasure at the bottom of the box. If it was a gift, The nobles in the palace are also very capable.
The other thirty sets are made of pure jade with various patterns. My daughter-in-law thought the December flowers were very beautiful, so she ordered someone to carve a set of December flower hostas. I will show them to you later. "
Jiang Ning looked at the names of the jewelry on the books and admired Xu Nuoyan, "Sure enough, leave professional matters to professionals. The presentation you made must be excellent. Don't worry, mom, if you really want to go to Beijing, how many sets can you pack?" I'll take the head and face away.
By the way, you can help me estimate the price of these things. How much money are these things worth? "
She brought these things to Beijing for the sake of being acquainted with the world, and she had to have a scale in her heart.
Xu Nuoyan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Mom, if you want to ask me this, just tell me straight away. Zhenniang is from our family. According to what Santie said, he didn't spend much silver to buy these jade stones. A set of gold inlaid The cost of Yutou noodles is estimated to be only one or two hundred taels, but in my daughter-in-law's shop, a set can sell for more than five hundred taels, and the supply exceeds demand.
Nowadays, my daughter-in-law only puts five sets in the shop a month, and no more. Moreover, my daughter-in-law asked the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion. If you send such a set to Zhenbao Pavilion in Beijing, you can’t buy it without a thousand taels. If you give it away, you will definitely Get it! "
