"puff--"
Someone couldn't hold back, and then the whole restaurant burst into laughter.
This beautiful woman has such a sharp tongue. She's so pretty, why does she have to have such a venomous mouth?
"You...you! You just wait."
Apart from the time she was held by the gatekeeper, Li's mother had never suffered such a great loss in front of any other woman. She uttered a harsh remark, which angered her so much that she refused to eat the braised meat and left with her people.
The woman at the door, carrying a food box, greeted him hesitantly, "Mrs. Qin, you're here to buy braised meat too?"
Qin Niangzi, a beautiful woman, didn't even glance at the doorkeeper, and turned to leave with the half-pound of braised meat she had wrapped.
The door's mother awkwardly touched her nose and left.
She offered an exorbitant price, but it still didn't sway him.
That's it, her Inviting Moon Pavilion's fate is sealed. Go back and make voodoo dolls so that the corrupt Spring Breeze Pavilion will be raided and shut down by the authorities as soon as possible.
Xiao Qing, who was scooping meat from the earthenware pot outside the door, suddenly stopped.
The next second, Old Man Xu slapped him down and landed a slap on his head.
"You clumsy thing, you're so awkward! If I hadn't given you a hand, you would have fallen into the jar!"
"What, you're going to braise yourself because there's not enough meat?!"
He just happened to come out, otherwise the kid would have fallen into the earthenware pot.
Such a large earthenware pot, if you fall in, you'll be scalded to death or at least lose a layer of skin.
Madam Qin glanced in this direction and then left.
Xiaoqing kept her head down and remained silent, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.
Why? Why is she here?! What is the reason?
Did she come for herself?
No, impossible! That woman has no heart; she would never come for him.
Xiaoqing gave a bitter laugh. He was born unwanted, an unwanted person. What was he hoping for?
When he saw Xiaoqing laugh out loud, Old Man Xu thought that the boy had been scolded into a daze.
Tell him to stand aside and explain to the dozen or so people still in line.
"Sorry everyone, we've sold out of braised meat for today. If you want some, come early tomorrow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people in line began to complain.
"It's gone! How could it be gone so quickly? I've been standing here smelling it all morning!"
"Honestly, why didn't you make more? It's making my mouth water!"
Lin Shuyun brought out a handful of slips of paper from the kitchen. "Here you go, these are your numbers. Just come back tomorrow with your numbers and buy directly! No need to queue!"
"That's pretty much it."
The people in line took their numbers and then dispersed.
After selling braised meat all morning, Jiang Changtian didn't come back for lunch. Old Xu and Xiao Qing ate some of the leftovers and planned to go home to rest before coming back.
As soon as he arrived at his doorstep, he saw Lin Hongwen carrying a bundle on his back.
"Sis, I finally found the right place."
Lin Hongwen was overjoyed to see Lin Shuyun.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the coal ball in his arms let out a meow and rushed towards Lin Shuyun.
"You stinky Shuyun, you wicked Shuyun! You haven't come to see me in so long, have you forgotten about me now that you've got that stupid dog!"
"Coal Ball, I've missed you so much."
Lin Shuyun gave the coal ball a big kiss on the forehead.
Coal Ball buried its head in Lin Shuyun's arm and meowed: "Really, there are so many people here, and you have no self-respect at all. I'm so embarrassed!"
"Sister, your cat is so smart! I came to find you in a donkey cart, and this cat jumped into my lap. So I brought it with me. How did it know I was coming to find you?" Lin Hongwen looked at the coal ball in amazement.
"Coal Ball is smart, what brings you here, kid?"
Lin Shuyun, while carrying a coal ball, beckoned Lin Hongwen into the house.
"Mother said my brother-in-law is about to take the imperial examination, and she asked me to come and see if there's anything I can do to help." Lin Hongwen scratched his head and suddenly saw Xiao Qing standing to the side.
"Sister, who is this...?"
“I’m her brother,” Xiaoqing explained seriously.
Old Xu pulled Lin Hongwen aside and explained, "Don't worry about him. He has amnesia and his mind is not right. He works as a farmhand in our family."
Lin Hongwen responded with a curious "oh".
Lin Shuyun said to Lin Hongwen, "I heard that after this college entrance exam is over, the academy will recruit another batch of students. Hongwen, study hard and try to get into the academy."
She had this plan after hearing Jiang Changtian mention recruiting students.
"Really? Can I get in?" Lin Hongwen's eyes lit up.
Even the worst teacher in the academy is a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations), so he's definitely better than a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examinations).
If he can really get in, he can keep his brother-in-law company.
"You'll definitely be fine if you learn from your brother-in-law." Lin Shuyun washed her hands in the yard.
Old Xu grinned, "Girl, you have so much confidence in that kid?"
"Of course, my husband is awesome, he'll definitely pass the exam."
……
……
"Ah!"
Jiang Changtian sneezed and suddenly lost his appetite when he looked at the food in front of him.
The lunch was served uniformly, and it was all vegetarian.
However, Jiang Changtian noticed that the vegetable leaves were turning yellow and there was even a small insect on them.
If it were before, Jiang Changtian had also been sleeping in the open and wind, and perhaps he would have eaten. But in the past two months, his palate had become spoiled, and he simply couldn't eat anymore.
Jiang Changtian pushed the food aside and continued answering the questions.
Eating too much in hot weather can make you sleepy, while not eating can make you more alert.
After finishing the first exam, I handed in my paper.
When the person in charge of the exam room's meals came to collect the tableware, they were immediately surprised, "You, why haven't you touched your food!"
Jiang Changtian casually replied, "It's too hot, I can't eat."
After saying that, he noticed the man's unpleasant expression and muttered, "So much trouble."
A dark glint flashed in Jiang Changtian's eyes.
After finishing his business, the man went outside and met up with another man.
"Jiang Changtian didn't eat a single bite."
"Hmph, just wait and see. There are still several days to go. I don't believe he'll be this lucky every time."
This county examination was an additional test, and the examination hall was set up in the academy, with the dean and the county magistrate as the chief examiners.
Taking advantage of the break, Jiang Changtian went directly to see the dean.
He went straight to the point as soon as he entered, "Dean, I suspect someone has poisoned my food."
"How can this be?"
Dean Bai suddenly stood up from his seat. He had just been wondering if Jiang Changtian had come to see him to pull strings.
Just as he was considering whether to give Jiang Changtian a special favor out of respect for the teacher, Jiang Changtian dropped a bombshell on him.
"If the dean doesn't believe me, please arrange for someone to switch my portion with his when distributing the food for inspection," Jiang Changtian said before leaving.
During this special period, he cannot stay here for long.
Dean Bai thought for a long time and then called Shi Feng over.
"Shi Feng, don't take the next exam. Go and change Jiang Changtian's food."
Shi Feng was completely bewildered; he was happy that he wasn't allowed to take the exam.
I waited specifically until the food was served and got myself a portion to exchange for Jiang Changtian's.
I only heard the reason from the dean after I returned.
Shi Feng scoffed, "The food is perfectly fine, what could be wrong? All the examinees eat the same food, why is he the only one making a fuss?"
After saying that, I felt hungry, so I simply picked up my chopsticks and started eating.
