180 scientific expeditions

This year, the family has had a very happy time, the only fly in the ointment is that the second master and the third master and the fourth master are not at home, but the girls really cherish such a reunion day.

Because the second girl is going to marry Jiangnan in the New Year, the date has been determined, just wait for the ice to thaw and take a boat, and when you get there, you have to rest for half a month and slowly work hard, and marry according to the good day you choose.

The Chinese New Year is always busy and cheerful, Yang Lan took the time to choose a day, and specially handed over a few sisters to come to her yard to eat wine at night, the sisters are going to get married, this is the last year that their sisters can spend together, and it is not easy to get together when they get married, so they specially asked their mother for good wine, and planned to get drunk until dawn.

During the banquet, they retreated, leaving only a few of them in the house, everyone drank and ate tea and played games, talking and talking about their hearts, talking and talking about being sad, the girls hugged each other and cried, at this moment their feelings were sincere, and they were nostalgic for the sisters, and finally realized what the elders said, the sisters can be in one place is fate, to cherish.

Yang Lan took her most cherished gift to several sisters, it was a set of fans embroidered with various flowers, including hibiscus flowers, roses, orchids, apricot blossoms, plum blossoms, chrysanthemums and other flowers, which were embroidered by her boredom in her spare time.

"Sisters, this is my own embroidery, if you like it, pick a handle and take it to make a souvenir, in the future, we don't know if there is time to get together like today, so let's leave a thought." Yang Lan felt a lot of emotion in her heart, not only blessings for her sisters, but also panic and confusion about her future life.

When I think of the quarrels in the past, I don't think it's a big deal. Now all I think about is the benefits of sisterhood. The emotion of nostalgia and reluctance has been lingering in my heart.

As soon as these words came out, several girls had red eyes. The third girl turned her back and secretly wiped her tears.

The second girl was grinning, her eyes were shining with tears, but she had a happy smile on her face, "I'll come, I'll pick first, I want this hibiscus flower, do you think I'm more delicate than a flower!" As he spoke, he also put an orchid finger for everyone to see.

"Poof, hahaha! You don't blush. The three girls were amused again. It's laughter and tears, and it looks ridiculous.

"I want that orchid, I can't love it." The fourth girl took the initiative to speak.

The fifth girl smiled and said, "I want that apricot blossom, look at such graceful and beautiful." ”

"I want that rose, the one that matches me best." The three girls also put gold on their faces in vain, and worked hard to liven up the atmosphere.

Yang Lan said with a smile: "I like this weeping silk begonia the most, full of red flowers, draped and drooping, I want this." She clapped her hands happily, and everyone chose their favorite fans.

A night of laughter. The girls were so drunk that they didn't even go back. They all fell asleep on the kang bed, but the maids came in to look at the quilt.

The New Year passed quietly, and in February, Princess Hui began to prepare for the marriage of the eldest son, and the wedding room was repainted early, and now there is a lack of a hostess.

The three elder brothers also began to prepare for the exam, Rong Yi did not come over again during this time, but came to worship the New Year with the elders during the New Year, and hurriedly saw Yang Lan when he asked for peace in the main hall, and he didn't even say a word.

However, she still sent a small New Year's gift very intimately, which was a gadget that she bought when she was in the market, including small clay figures, kites, terracotta figurines and other things, to relieve Yang Lan's boredom.

In the New Year, the Queen Mother Qin gave a mansion, sent a three-courtyard deed, the yard is not very big, but the wonderful thing is that it is close to the Rong Mansion, only a wall apart, a little redecoration is both independent and adjacent, the garden inside is also according to the scenery of Suzhou, it is very graceful and beautiful, and there is a lot of vacant land in the backyard idle.

The eldest brother and the second brother said that they would start to renovate her in the spring of next year, Yang Lan looked at the drawings, the only thing to modify was the bathroom, she wanted a spacious and warm bathroom, the house was paved with a floor dragon, and the vacant land in the backyard was retained, not moved for the time being, and kept for her own use in the future.

The second girl's dowry is almost ready, and she can leave with peace of mind only when her brother gets good news in the exam. And Wei Qihou sent someone to make a wedding ceremony, Wei Qihou's son Wei Bin was dignified, down-to-earth and steady, which made the third lady very satisfied.

Immediately followed by the marriage ceremony of the four girls, Qi Ze also brought his own live geese to make a decision, and for a while the two girls made a decision together, but they were busy with the masters and servants in the house.

It wasn't until March that the busyness stopped, and at this time, the scholars of the scientific expedition entered the Tribute Courtyard with a lifetime of Hongyuan and expectations, and the masters of the Yang Mansion were also extremely nervous.

Yang Lan checked the belongings of the three elder brothers with her sisters, and took the trouble to explain over and over again, "This water bladder was bought by the merchant, one-third more water than others, and the water in it is boiled with ginseng ground into powder, you remember to drink less in the last two days, and drink more when you have no energy, the oil tea powder in it can be eaten with water, which is simple and convenient to be able to fight hunger." The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are all ready for you, and the pen is prepared with two more, you remember to check. ”

Ginseng water and camellia powder were prepared by Yang Lan, for this camellia powder for several months, constantly doing experiments to make it more delicious, in order to maximize the effect of ginseng, she asked people to grind ginseng into powder and boil water, and strive to maximize the medicinal effect.

The three brothers glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, looking helpless, how could they be more nervous than the three of them.

The third Yang Yu couldn't cry or laugh, "Sister, don't check it, I've looked back and forth more than a dozen times, the bookbags are about to rot, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up." ”

The old lady also came to her senses and hurriedly said, "Oh! Hurry, prepare the carriage, it's not too late, go kid, don't be nervous, we're waiting for you at home, you don't have to be afraid of being young, even if you don't do well in the exam, it doesn't matter, there is still a chance! "Before leaving, don't forget to reassure the children, so that they don't get too nervous.

With everyone's expectations, the three brothers stepped into the tribute courtyard and were inspected from head to toe by the soldiers, not even letting go of their underwear, and could only wear single clothes to enter the examination room.

The family watched them walk into the exam room and returned home with worry and anxiety. For three days in a row, the masters of the house were anxious. Restless. Just hope to get through these three days sooner, it's harder than ever.

Three days later, the examiner came back, the three brothers of the Yang family practiced martial arts all the year round, and the six arts of the gentleman were not pulled down, and the body was quite strong, Rao was like this, and he stayed in it for three days, and his face was pale. The face is unkempt, the eye sockets are deep, and the legs and feet are trembling.

The little maid directly helped the three of them into the carriage, Yang Xu was so busy in the household department, he still came back early to see the child.

Seeing that the three brothers had become like this, the sisters almost cried for a while, and hurriedly beckoned to heat the meal again, and prepared porridge and side dishes for them to take a bath after eating and talking.

There was no time to rest, and after taking a bath, the three brothers wrote out their own papers silently under the instruction of Yang Xu. Then he fell asleep on the bed, unconscious.

Yang Xu took the papers of the three children to consult his colleagues. It is estimated that a few of the children can pass the list, and their feet will not touch the ground for a while.

Finally came to the day of the release of the list, early in the morning, anyone who had a student exam would let people stay in front of the list before dawn, just to see the list quickly.

Everyone in the Yang Mansion was also waiting anxiously, and the whole family gathered in Songhe Hall, sitting in the small hall anxiously waiting for the little girl to come back and report the news.

Yang Lan didn't know how many times she had asked people to go out to see if they had come back, and the second girl was even more circular in the hall, and the ground was about to fall off.

The old lady couldn't stand it anymore, so she shouted, "Second girl, sit there, don't turn around anymore, I am dizzy." She sighed irritably, feeling her chest suffocate.

The three brothers sat in a row, clenched their fists tightly, and remained silent, waiting for the final news.

"I'm back, I hear a shout." Yang Lan suddenly heard the loud shout of the little maid, and suddenly jumped up from the chair.

At this moment, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they looked at the door with longing eyes, waiting for the moment when the curtain was lifted.

"Back to the old lady, back to ......." The little guy panted and saluted.

The old lady interrupted him impatiently, "Let's talk about the result directly, hey, I'm in a hurry." She patted the armrest of the soft couch hard, and her face turned red with anxiety.

The little guy rushed back, and he didn't even breathe, "All, all hit, all hit." ”

"Did you hit all three? Are the results correct? The second lady and the eldest princess asked in unison.

"It's all hit, the third young master, it's ...... Tanhua, the fifteenth place on the second list of the fourth young master, and the twenty-eighth place on the second list of the fifth young master. The little guy finally said it all, and collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.

"Great, great, it's all hit, God bless the Yang family, the ancestors bless you! Reward, the young master's courtyard will be rewarded for two months, and the whole house will be rewarded for one month, great! The old lady's tears of excitement fell.

Everyone congratulated each other, their faces were extremely ruddy and excited, this was a great joy for the Yang Mansion.

Princess Hehui remembered something and asked, "Do you see that the children of the Rong family and the Liu family have a rank?" ”

The eldest princess asked Rong Yi and Liu Yan, Liu Yan was the child of the Confucian merchant, and she was going to tell the fifth girl.

The little guy understood, "Gongzi Rong has won the list, and Gongzi Liu is slightly lower, with more than 40 people on the second list." ”

Everyone breathed a weak sigh, no matter what, it was good that they were all hit, and now everyone was relieved.

Princess Hehui was also extremely happy, "You see we are going to hold a banquet to celebrate, how many tables are better?" ”

After the officers and soldiers send the list, they can start celebrating, this is a big joy in the house, naturally they have to celebrate in a big way, and they also have to send congratulatory gifts to the people who are related, and there are really a lot of things.

"Go back and make a list for you girls, and come to the study with me." Yang Xu called several children to the study together, ready to discuss the follow-up.

The hostesses in the house also have their own things to do, to draw up a list of banquets, to give gifts to relevant people, to pack up the second girl's dowry to prepare for loading, but also to carefully pick a list, so as to say kiss to a few children, this time the children have been admitted, that is, the fourth and fifth have also been admitted to the Jinshi, and there will definitely be no fewer people who say pro.

There are also five girls' family affairs that can be decided, and this dowry also has to be written on a list, and a bunch of chores are very busy.

When the second girl heard that her brother had been hit by Tanhua, her tears of joy couldn't stop flowing, and she was sad that she was going to leave home, and she was also happy for her brother. (To be continued......)
