Chapter 25
Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming were undoubtedly outstanding like a dazzling sun in the sky. Xu Qing Shan admitted that he wasn't as good as them, but Gu Yan Zhou was different. He was good-looking, good at studying, and had a good personality. If he got admitted into the ranks, his future was also good.
Every aspect was good. What’s more, they knew him well. Unlike Yang Sheng pair. They said they were grain merchants, but he felt they weren’t at all.
Didn’t the storyteller say that some men would pretend to be rich men to deceive those girls and then sell them or force them to do that kind of business.
Oh right, what was the name of the book? It seemed to be called Save something. He couldn't remember.
The more he thought about it, the more he worried about Jiang Yun Zhu. She had a fine mind, but she would suffer as it was one girl against two men.
While his younger cousin brother. He didn't think about it before. But looking at him now, wasn't he and Jiang Yun Zhu a match made in heaven?
Both of them looked like the people in the painting, one was like an orchid branch and a jade tree, and the other was like a bright moon. There couldn’t be any better marriage.
And Cousin Uncle and Cousin Aunt also liked Jiang Yun Zhu very much.
"Elder Cousin Brother, you're back. What are you thinking?" Seeing Xu Qing Shan staring at him, Gu Yan Zhou asked with a smile.
"I wasn't thinking about anything. You’re heading out?" Xu Qing Shan asked.
Gu Yan Zhou shook the painting in his hand, "I drew a painting today. I'm going to ask the teacher to help give feedback."
Gu Yan Zhou was currently studying in the Wen Yuan Academy in the county and was one of the best.
There were more scholars in Wuling County than other places. This was due to the special situation here.
Parents have worked hard to earn money. Knowing that it wasn't easy to make money in the mines, they didn't want their children to sacrifice their lives for money. Soldiers, farmers, businessmen. Only by studying and taking the exam can one reach the top of the sky and bring glory to the family. Therefore, everyone spared no money to let their children study and hope that their children will become dragons.
"What did you paint? Can I have a look at it?" Xu Qing Shan asked.
Gu Yan Zhou felt that he was very strange today. Before that, he didn't care about his studies at all. But since he opened his mouth, he opened the painting.
Xu Qing Shan looked at the painting, but his spirit tightened.
He saw a piece of reef and big waves painted on the painting. As the picture scroll was opened, the turbulent waves seemed to hit the shore, making people feel palpitations.
"This, did you draw this?" Xu Qing Shan asked.
"En. Today, I read Teacher Su Shi's 'Rocks Pierce the Sky, Surging Waves Hit the Shore, Thousands of Piles of Snow Are Rolled Up.' On a whim, I drew this painting."
Xu Qing Shan didn't understand poetry, but he felt that whatever thousand piles of snow was pleasant to hear. Then corresponding to this painting, the waves were as beautiful as the snow piles.
"You drew really well." He praised.
Gu Yan Zhou shook his head, "Just some imagination. If there’s a chance, I want to personally see Chibi Cliff Head."
"There will be a chance." Xu Qing Shan casually responded and then asked, "Do you have anything to do this afternoon?"
"Should be no matter. Elder Cousin Brother has something the matter?"
"You go first. I'll tell you when you come back." Xu Qing Shan said.
Gu Yan Zhou responded and went out.
At this time, in Jiang’s home. Mrs. Chen was helping Jiang Yun Zhu move things into the house while looking at her. There were four people when they left, how come two of them came back? Also, those two merchants insisted on taking Jiang Yun Zhu to town with them today. They were two young men. While Jiang Yun Zhu was a beautiful girl. So her mind couldn't help wandering.
"Mother, just ask if you have any questions." Jiang Yun Zhu said directly.
In turn, Mrs. Chen felt embarrassed, "Those, those two merchants?"
"We separated as soon as we arrived in town. I don't know where they went."
Mrs. Chen wanted to ask about Xu Qing Shan. But at the thought that Jiang Yun Zhu didn't like the mention of that matter, she dropped it and asked her if she had breakfast instead.
"No." Jiang Yun Zhu originally planned to skip breakfast and use the saved money to hire a donkey cart to come back.
Mrs. Chen's heart immediately felt distressed. After working for so long, she still hadn't eaten yet? As she entered the room to warm up a meal for her, she said, "Next time, no matter how rushed you are in town, have a bowl of hulatang or meat pancakes before going."
"Those are for sale." Jiang Yun Zhu replied. Mainly because if she ate it, Mrs. Chen won't eat it herself. Nor would she let Jiang Lin and the others eat it. She couldn’t eat it alone.
Afraid that Mrs. Chen would say anything more, she continued again, "I'll go to town after breakfast tomorrow." The main reason was that these two days were special. Yesterday Mrs. Chen urged her to go to town. Today, Yang Sheng urged her.
Probably won’t be like that tomorrow.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen had a sudden realization. After a while, she brought her breakfast. It was still pancakes and congee. But there was a nice pink and rounded boiled egg. It was cute to look at.
"Mother, this egg..." Jiang Yun Zhu was surprised.
"A few days ago we invited Aunt Feng and the others to a meal. So they brought two chickens over. I kept them in the backyard. Today I went to feed the chickens. Who would have thought that I would find an egg."
Speaking of this egg, Mrs. Chen smiled. .
Jiang Yun Zhu was also very happy.
"Quickly eat." Mrs. Chen urged. She originally wanted to save this egg for money, but just now she heard that Jiang Yun Zhu hadn't had breakfast and felt sorry for her. So she boiled it.
"Leave it for..." Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to say for old Mister Chen or Jiang Cheng. They were the oldest or worked harder than her.
"You eat. It’s for you." Mrs. Chen directly peeled off the shell and put it into Jiang Yun Zhu's bowl.
The white of the egg was tender. The burning yellow yolk inside can be seen through the crystal white outside.
Jiang Yun Zhu ate the pancakes and congee with the egg. This morning was quite satisfactory.
After eating, the time today was earlier than yesterday. Jiang Yun Zhu went back to the room and mapped for a while.
When she woke up, she heard noises in the yard. Looking outside, it was Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming who had returned.
She watched them enter the side room before getting up to cook.
Pork elbow and braised meat weren’t difficult for her. It was a little time-consuming. Dishes like sauteed pig kidney were particular about heat kidneys, which got it just right. In the middle, she made Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming's lunch while they were at it.
Jiang Lin had been waiting there a long time ago. So much food was cooked today that he couldn't handle it by himself. Mrs. Chen went out with him to deliver food to the foot of the mountain.
In the future, there will be more people ordering meals. Delivery of meals will also be a problem, Jiang Yun Zhu thought while looking at their backs.
But this wasn't a problem. When that time comes, she will naturally have a solution.
After washing her hands, she brought Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming's meals to the side room.
Today she made them pork ball in brown sauce, stir-fried yam, and a dish of mapo tofu.
The two fist-sized pork balls looked mighty. The fried yam was pure white. Placed in a white porcelain plate, it was like white jade. Mapo tofu, spicy and delicious was what it was going for.
"Miss Jiang, we have troubled you." Yang Sheng said with a smile.
"No trouble. Eat while It was hot." Jiang Yun Zhu replied.
"Alright."
Yang Sheng sat down and took a bite of the porkball. It was smooth and delicious. Then he had a bite of mapo tofu, um, delicious!
"What to do when I can't eat such delicious meals in the future?" He muttered.
Shen Feng Ming's hand which was clipping the food paused.
In the afternoon, learning time arrived. Jiang Yun Zhu slept for a while this morning. Now she was in good spirits and she decided to study calligraphy properly.
