is still accompanied by several granddaughters for a long time, and the natural feelings are not the same.

Eating is a small thing, and eating with the granddaughters is the most important thing.

Three generations in the same house can be regarded as a happy one.

Yan Mingqiao has been staring at the thick casserole with the soup base, it is really white porridge, and the cooking time is long, and the rice fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, making people want to drink a bowl dry.

In the past, the bottom of the pot had already been boiled, why did it open so slowly today?

Yan Mingqiao said: "Why don't you open it yet." ”

Yan Mingyue said quite seriously: "I think it's because of the casserole, the stewed soup is made in a casserole, and it can only be stewed slowly over low heat." ”

"Where did she ask why she didn't open it, she felt that it was too slow, delaying her to eat the pot." Yan Mingyu still doesn't understand her sister, her eyes are staring, just to see when she can eat it.

Yan Mingqiao said: "I don't have it, I'm afraid that my grandmother and mother will be in a hurry." ”

Yan Mingyue smiled a little, and Shen and Ning also smiled, watching the three sisters arguing.

Yan Mingyu: "Yes, yes, it's all for us, and the fifth sister doesn't want to eat at all." ”

Yan Mingqiao didn't have so much confidence this time, "I still want to eat, but the first bite must be the grandmother who eats it first, and the mother takes the second bite, and I am the youngest and eats the last." ”

can insist on eating until the end, Yan Mingqiao has been enduring it very hard, it is all fresh, why don't you want to eat it.

Yan Mingqiao also went to the small kitchen to take a look before eating, and the lobster was like a big insect, the shell was beautiful, the color was purple, and the conch was gray. She specially asked the cook to keep two of the most beautiful conch shells, wondering if they could hear the sound from a long distance as in the story.

But no, she put the Hundred Treasure Pavilion on the top.

There are several frozen fish, which must be thawed first and then sliced.

At that time, the chef also prepared a lot of vegetables and small snacks, and also cut vegetables and meat, and made preparations with both hands, probably because he was afraid that this simple porridge bottom hot pot would not be delicious, and the masters would be able to eat something else.

The snacks were already on the table, but Yan Mingqiao was not particularly interested, she was curious about how the lobster and snail meat tasted.

The dishes on the table can no longer see the original appearance, Yan Mingqiao can still tell which is the lobster and which is the scallop, although all of them are cut into thin slices, but the one that looks crispy and chewy and snow-white is the scallop meat, the crystal clear lobster meat with a red fascia, the shape is not the same, and the yellow color is the conch.

The fish is best distinguished, a whole one, the skin is red, the color of the meat is slightly powdery, there are many pieces.

Which of these are the most delicious will be known in a moment.

Yan Mingyu looked at the meat on the table, and said in his heart, I don't know if I can eat a sashimi now.

Forget it, if she eats it, it is estimated that her mother will let her go out immediately.

While waiting, the four of them gossiped, and when the bottom of the pot finally opened, the maid of the cloth vegetable hurriedly put the meat on the table inside.

"These are very thinly sliced, just cook them for a while."

The various pieces of meat slid in and rolled in two in the boiling porridge juice, some of which were so hot that they were rolled up, and the porridge juice slid off of them and then rolled into the soup base, making people wonder how tender the meat really was.

The pot is in the middle, there are maid cloth vegetables, Yan Ming buckwheat tasted a bite, the bottom of the pot is porridge juice, there is no blandness, the entrance does not feel tasteless, but tastes fresh and sweet. The book says that the sea water is salty, so if you drink the salty water, these fish and shrimp will have a taste.

It's good that these fish and shrimp are so sensible, they can drink salty water, and the cook doesn't even need to put salt.

It tastes good when dipped in a little soy sauce, and it is even sweeter.

There is not a lot of oil and seasoning, and the food is the original taste.

Ning thought it would be fishy and difficult to eat, but it was delicious. At her age, she originally liked light and soft rotten, and the sea fish didn't seem to have any spines, and they melted in her mouth, which was very comfortable to eat.

"Not bad, not bad." The Ning family would not make fun of his granddaughter on this occasion, nor did he say suspicious good things, the family just had a meal, and the little girl had to be ashamed to come to the stage to do anything, "Mingqiao eat more, and so does Mingyue." ”

Yan Mingyue nodded, and Yan Mingqiao said twice, "Grandmother, you can eat more!" ”

Yan Mingqiao felt that this meal was novel, and the porridge juice became more salty and sweet the more it was boiled, as if eating porridge stewed with fish bones and prawns for several hours.

But it was only boiled for a while, and then the greens were put in, which was also salty and sweet.

It's delicious.

Even the porridge juice is delicious, like drinking seafood soup, Yan Mingqiao said: "I feel that my eyebrows are fresh." ”

Yan Mingyu: "Quickly show me if it's gone, I see that my eyebrows haven't fallen off, and my stomach is bulging." ”

Yan Mingqiao reached out and touched her stomach, "Yes, it's bulging, mother, I don't think Ming'er needs to eat in the morning." ”

Shen Shi ate well today, but it is definitely not okay to skip dinner tomorrow morning, "No, you must eat, you have to go to class tomorrow, let Mr. listen to your stomach in the middle of the class?" ”

Yan Mingqiao: "This is what my mother asked me to eat, and my mother asked me to eat it." ”

Yan Mingyu said: "I think you want to eat it yourself." ”

Several people laughed and laughed, and this good mood lasted until they went to bed at night, and Yan Mingqiao slept contentedly until dawn.

When she didn't ask for peace during the holidays, she slept until dawn.

At dawn in winter, it's almost time to freshen up, have breakfast, read books and play the piano for more than an hour, and the day will pass.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the sky became warmer and warmer, and at the end of the first month, the people in the embroidery room in the house came to measure the size of Yan Ming buckwheat and prepare to make spring clothes.

The maid measured, the fifth girl was three feet seven inches, "The girl has grown more than an inch taller than last year." ”

The arms and legs are long, after all, even the teeth are missing, how can it not be long, it seems that she will soon grow into a big girl.

Last year's spring clothes must not be worn, they have to be made new, the maid smiled very pleasantly, "The girl has grown taller again, and her waist has not changed much." ”

There is a bit of flesh on the face, and the body is very well-proportioned.

Yan Mingqiao felt that she was still white, and she would grow taller and taller.

There are two sets of clothes throughout the year, and the Shen family gave two more horses, and asked the embroidery room to make a few more spring clothes for Yan Mingqiao, first make two bodies in the house, and the others are not in a hurry.

Without Shen's orders, the maid knew that it was the slowest to give Jinhuayuan, but it was normal to give Yan Mingyue's clothes.

Yan Mingqiao has been in class for more than ten days, and by the second day of February, grass has grown in the ground.

The tender ones are as if they were blown down by the wind.

When Yan Mingqiao wakes up in the morning, she can still hear the birds chirping, chirping, which is much more lively than in winter.

The spring flowers in the Furi Garden are blooming one by one, and they are extremely brilliant yellow, and it is not cold at noon, and spring has really arrived.

Every time she came back from the school at noon, Yan Mingqiao was so hot that she sweated on her forehead, but Mama Li said that it was not time to change her spring clothes, so she could only be so hot.

It wasn't until before the Qingming Festival that Yan Mingqiao changed into spring clothes.

Qingming worships ancestors, but it is too far away from Xiao Yang's hometown, so he only worships in the house, Yan Mingqiao went to Wutong Garden to burn paper money for Chen Xiaoniang.

I said silently in my heart, little lady, I have grown taller again.

Chapter 66: Failure

Yan Mingqiao talked to Chen Xiaoniang in the sky for a while, so that she didn't have to worry about herself, and she would go back to the main courtyard when the paper money was burned.

Grandmother and they went to the ancestral hall, Songshan Academy Qingming had a day off, Yan Mingye and Yan Mingze both returned. Wait for the middle of the spring season, Yan Mingye will go to the hospital exam.

Yan Mingxuan is not in the mansion, Yan Mingye is the only son in the mansion, and he has to follow to worship. In the Yue Dynasty, men went to worship their ancestors.

Yan Mingqiao didn't care, she went to the ancestral hall once when she changed her family tree, and there were so many tablets on it, she was still a little scared.

Yan Mingyu doesn't care, she doesn't want to go if she asks her to go.

But Yan Mingze really wanted to go, in his opinion, being able to go to the ancestral hall means that he values it and can inherit the blessings of his ancestors. Although Yan Mingye was stupid and stupid, he didn't know how to learn, but because he was born in the main courtyard and his eldest brother was not there, he came.

He was a year younger, and he was admitted to Xiucai, but he couldn't go.

Fortunately, Yan Mingye is stupid, a thirteen-year-old person who can't be admitted to Xiucai, Yan Mingze doesn't believe that his father can value him much.

On the second day of Qingming, Yan Mingye returned to the academy, and the bookbag still contained the notes that Yan Mingqiao had sorted out for him.

This is the only thing Yan Mingqiao can do, although she didn't learn according to the academy entrance examination, but there is also Mr. Fu.

Mr. Fu was the champion at the beginning, the third yuan and the first, and later when he was an official, he also served in the Ministry of Officials, although he has resigned, but he still remembers what he has learned.

Yan Mingqiao excused herself to know what the imperial examination was like and what the results of her study for so long had been, so she answered the questions of last year's, the year before last, and the year before last year under Mr. Fu's nose.

Fu Zhongyan could detect that the student was for his brother, he had resigned for many years, and now he had no friends serving in the ministry, and he didn't know the inside story of the file, so it didn't hurt to teach his own students.

There are a total of two subjects in the college examination, one of which is the content of the books, and rote memorization can also get good results, but the difficulty is that there are many books and long lengths, even if you memorize them every day, there will inevitably be omissions.

However, Yan Mingqiao has a good memory, and he has read all these books, and this subject can be said to be handy.

Most of the articles in the second subject examination were written for water conservancy and tuntian, and he had passed the law examination for two years. Nowadays, candidates mostly write articles according to the gourd, but if they can write a good policy, it can also make the examiner refreshed.

Yan Mingqiao reads a lot, and she has dabbled in everything, and it is not difficult to write this, but the difficult thing is that it is not her who will take the test, but her brother who will take the test.

Fu Zhongyan finished reading Yan Mingqiao's papers, nodded his head, if he took the exam in Shengjing, he might be able to take the test for the first time.

It's a pity that it's a daughter.

If Yan Mingqiao knew what Fu Zhongyan thought, she would say that it was not a pity, there were many talented girls in front of and behind her, how slim she was, and she could afford a pity.

Second, she doesn't have that much ambition, and she can do anything else without the imperial examination, so she is very good at business. The tea business has now started to make tea bags, and there is progress.

Yan Mingqiao raised his head and asked Mr. Fu, "Sir, is there any way to write articles?" ”

Is there any way to make rapid progress?

Fu Zhongyan stroked his beard and said, "I'll find you a few good articles, see how others write them, there are only a few directions for the exam, accumulate more, and you won't be in a hurry during the exam, and you won't know how to write." You don't have to stick to books on weekdays, books are written by people, you can read more other people's articles. Then you will know that there is a mountain outside the mountain, and there is a building outside the building. ”

Fu Zhongyan's meaning: There is a frame for writing articles for scientific examinations, and it is necessary to quote scriptures, not empty words, and if you have a framework in your heart, you will not be stunned when you write.

Ming Qiao is smart, and it doesn't hurt to read more and have a wider horizon.

Yan Mingqiao said respectfully: "Sir, the student understands. ”

It is impossible for Fu Zhongyan to teach Yan Mingqiao how to answer the questions by hand, but Yan Mingqiao will flip and write some by himself, and then show it to Fu Zhongyan, and Mr. Fu will say okay before he can give it to the second brother.

For Yan Mingye, this note is similar to a long drought and a rainy day.

When Yan Mingye got the note, he said several times that he was a good sister, but it was not like praising his sister, but like worshipping a Bodhisattva.

Yan Mingqiao said seriously: "Then the second brother, you must take a good look, and ah, this is for Chu Zheng to take a look at." You take the test well, no matter what the result is, as long as you work hard. ”

Of course, it is best to pass the test.

Yan Mingqiao came to Yan Mingye's yard to send it, his yard layout is also simple, there are bows and arrows and wooden swords that he used to play on the wall of the study, and there are gnats and gnats on the Baibao Pavilion, both gold and silver, which shows how greedy Yan Mingye used to be.

But now Yan Mingye is at most looking at it twice, and since Yan Mingxuan fell off the list, he hasn't played again.

Even if Shen didn't say it, he didn't plan to play anymore.
