Chapter 388: The Flying Old Man Li
"Okay, then the third aunt, do you have anything here that you want me to help bring back?"
"Rice noodles, the quantity is not too much, I bought everything I bought before and brought it back. The ones you have at home, you bring them back first. ”
"Okay!"
When Li Yuan drove the carriage back to Lijiaao, she didn't go home, but came directly to the old mansion.
At this time, Mrs. Wang and the others had just finished eating, and they heard Li Yuan's voice outside the door.
"Grandpa, grandma, good news, great news, Zhengzi and Junzi have been admitted to Tongsheng!"
Her words made Old Man Li and Li Sanhai, who originally wanted to sleep, instantly stand up from their seats.
Li Rui and Li Duo brothers, who were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and hurriedly ran out.
When they ran to the door, Li Yuan also happened to jump off the carriage.
"Yuanniang, what did you just say, we heard it right? Zhengzi and Junzi were both admitted to Tongsheng? Are you sure? ”
Li Yuan saw the excited two cousins and nodded vigorously.
"Sure, I've been admitted. I went to the yamen with my third brother and sister to see it today, and the third brother and sister also saw it. Big brother and second brother, I bought pork and chickens and ducks, let's celebrate today. ”
For Li Duo and Li Rui, Li Zheng's admission to Tongsheng was the first step to embark on the imperial examination.
If the government test can be successful, the hospital test should also be possible.
Even if you can't, if you study hard, you can still get in.
As long as he can be successful, no matter where they are, they will not have to serve in labor and pay taxes.
"It's time to celebrate, it's time to celebrate!"
As soon as Li Duo finished saying this, Mrs. Wang and Old Man Li also walked to the door.
"Big brother, you go and get a knife to come over and cut the meat, make it tonight, and I'll take the rest back later to make it into jerky and send it to Shao'an."
"Good!"
As soon as Li Duo left, Old Man Li reconfirmed: "Yuanniang, what you just said is true?" ”
"Really! Later, the third aunt and the third siblings will come back. By the way, the third uncle, the third aunt asked me to help bring the food back first, what do you think is appropriate? ”
Li Sanhai, who was smiling and didn't speak, said when he heard the words: "It's all in the kitchen!" Ruizi, come, help carry it to the kitchen together. ”
Old man Li got the exact news from Li Yuan's side, so he smiled and said hello three times in a row.
After that, with his hands behind his back, he walked out in high spirits.
When he walked out of the house, he saw a smile on his face, and pretended to be calm: "I'll go and tell Andy and them, don't cook at night, come to eat at home." ”
Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw her father like this.
"Milk, how many tables do you think we can make tonight?"
is just a child, if it is left in a big county town or even a capital city, it is nothing at all.
Even Xiucai is the same.
However, this is in Li Jiaao, or Li Jiaao, who has not been a child for more than ten years, and one of the two is a great joy.
Mrs. Wang was happy, pondered the food at home, and said, "Set up ten tables first, and then this meal will be in the evening." It's okay to cook a little more and have less rice and noodles, everyone can understand. On this hot day, just boil some vegetable porridge, steam some sweet potato rice, and then steam some coarse noodles and steamed buns. As for the dishes, I pondered and pondered which ones to fry. It's still early at this time, and I'll ask your eldest brother and second brother to go around the foot of the mountain later, and see if you can get some fish, pheasants, hares, and so on, and make two more dishes. ”
"Milk, fish can be, this pheasant and hare are not easy to fight, or forget it. I bought chickens, ducks and eggs, and when the third aunt comes back, you can just look at it and use it. ”
When the words fell, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she asked again: "Milk, is the eldest aunt better?" ”
Mrs. Wang shook her head: "I was so scared this time, but I was worried about my mother's family, so I got up early in the morning and went back to my parents' house." I actually wanted to ask her to follow the carriage of the Su family girl back to Fucheng this time. She came back this time, so how could she leave Miao Miao Niang and Qing Wei Niang? If she doesn't follow, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to go. ”
"Well, before I came back, the third aunt also said that I would go to the carriage shop and ask, rent a carriage and follow Sister Su and them together. The eldest aunt will follow when the time comes, and she will also have a companion. ”
"That's right!"
At this time, when the sun was big, Li Yuan waited for Li Duo and Li Rui to take away the grain on the carriage and the meat that should be cut, and then said to Mrs. Wang: "Milk, you hurry up and take a rest, our banquet at night still depends on your command." Channiang and I, come over later to help. ”
Mrs. Wang was in a good mood, and while nodding her head, she didn't forget to shout at Li Duo and Li Rui in the door: "Duo Zi Ruizi, when you go up the mountain to cut bamboo later, go to the river and see if you can catch a few fish and come back." If you can, it's best to catch two pheasants and hares. ”
Li Sanhai, who was in a good mood, replied: "Mother, just let Duozi Ruizi go to the river to catch fish, and I'll go to the foot of the mountain." ”
Because he was really panicked, Li Yuan didn't delay much at the old mansion, so he drove the carriage back to Li's house.
At this time, Su Mingshan's master and servant were taking a lunch break, while Wang Can was sitting under the eaves, his hands were unconsciously weaving straw shoes, and his eyes were looking at the watermelon field in a daze.
When she heard the sound of horses' hooves, she put down the half-knitted straw sandals in her hand and got up to open the door.
Li Yuan looked at Wang Can inside the door, and said with a smile: "Canniang, Zhengzi and Junzi have both been admitted to the middle school." I bought some meat and came back, and there was a banquet at the old house in the evening, so we would go over later to help. ”
Wang Can, who was originally listless, instantly widened his eyes when he heard this.
"Really? Sister, is Brother Junzi really a child? ”
"Really, your third sister-in-law and I have seen it, it's true, neither of us is dazzled."
Wang Can was too excited, and was a little incoherent: "I know, I know, Brother Junzi will definitely be able to." He works so hard, God will not disappoint those who work hard. Sister, I'm so happy, I'm really happy. By the way, I have to thank my brother-in-law, if it weren't for my brother-in-law, Brother Junzi would not even be able to pass the county test. Thank you, brother-in-law, thank you, brother-in-law. ”
As she spoke, she actually bent down and bowed to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan stretched out his hand to hold her, slapped her palm on the door of her head, and fixed her.
"Stop! Channiang, I know you're happy, but what are you doing with bending down and bowing to me? Come, let's drink some water and calm down. ”
As she spoke, she untied the water bag hanging from her waist, opened it and handed it to her mouth: "Open your mouth!" ”
Wang Can subconsciously opened her mouth, and after waiting for the entrance of the spiritual spring water, her extraordinarily excited emotions slowly calmed down.
When she understood what she had just done, she couldn't help but pop out loud and laugh.
"Sister, I was so happy and excited just now."
"I know! When I was in Yamen at that time, when I saw the list, I was so happy that I gave one or two pieces of silver money. ”
Wang Can was happy, so he replied with a smile: "One or two pieces of silver is not much, if this is me, I may have as much as I have, I will give it away." Sister, Brother Junzi can be admitted to Tongsheng this time, maybe Xiucai can also be. ”
