Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 697 4 Years Old

The same is true for Jiang Tongshui.

Zhu Yingqiu didn't drink it.

She can't drink much, and she has to go back to the shop to help later.

So I replaced the wine with tea and toasted him.

Jiang Fubao and the old couple of the Chen family sat at the main table.

She went home only after all the guests had left. As for the shop, the servants cleaned it up and she didn't have to worry about it.

Shao Siyou was drunk and unconscious. Before leaving, Jiang Fubao wrote a prescription with a wicked smile and asked the maid to prepare the medicine and boil it for Shao Siyou to drink.

How can I sleep on the wedding night?

Jiang Fubao did good deeds without leaving his name and went home to take a nice bath.

I was busy all day today and sweated a lot. My body is sticky and I can't sleep without taking a shower.

In the summer, Xue Huan picked a lot of flowers grown in the mansion, dried them all and stored them, waiting for the arrival of winter to use them for bathing.

After taking a bath, Jiang Fubao exuded the fragrance of flowers.

Xue Huan sniffed it like a pervert, several times, and was very satisfied.

She loves to dress up the young ladies nice and pretty.

In the second courtyard, Jiang Tongji was sitting at the table, reading a book. He had returned a long time ago, but unfortunately, he did not make it to the list of candidates in the autumn examination.

In Dong Wei's words, Jiang Tongji lacked luck, and this year's test questions were much more difficult than the last time.

In fact, Jiang Fubao had already anticipated this.

The imperial examination was not as simple as she had imagined. The reason why brother Bujiu was able to pass it in one go was because her godfather was a juren and her godfather was also a jinshi. With smart genes and the education she received since childhood, it was inevitable that brother Bujiu would have such a smooth journey in the imperial examination.

Although her elder brother was smart, he was not a child prodigy. In addition, he started to learn late and did not receive any education since childhood. He was lucky to have a smooth journey and pass the imperial examination. The further he went, the more difficult it would be.

Fortunately, although he did not win this time, he will move into the Dong family after the New Year. This was specially ordered by his godfather. From time to time, when his godfather and brother Bujiu come back, they can give him some tutoring.

As long as there are no unexpected situations in the next autumn examination, Jiang Fubao believes that his elder brother will definitely pass.

At the same time, the Spring Examination is approaching.

Shen He, who was in Jiangnan, had already set off for the imperial city without any preparation.

New Year's Eve is approaching quickly. Red couplets are posted outside all the shops and houses on the street, making it very festive. All kinds of red lanterns are also hung up.

There were few people on the streets in the afternoon on the day before New Year's Eve.

Most of the shops were closed.

Every household had already prepared New Year's goods. Outside the city gate, many people who were away from home also returned to the city, forming long queues. Meng Bujiu also ordered that the city gate be closed two hours later tonight.

I’m just afraid that these people will come back too late and won’t be able to get in.

The human touch during the Chinese New Year is stronger than the aroma of fried meatballs that can be smelled everywhere on the streets.

This dish can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. Meat and oil are both precious items. Those who are not well-off simply cannot afford to eat it. In order to save oil, some poor families even shred wild vegetables and bamboo shoots, knead them together with meat, boil them in water, and use them as fried meatballs.

After eating the meat balls, the family can be reunited in the coming year.

Just like last year, Jiang Tongtu bought a lot of fireworks, but they were all the cheapest ones. The Liu family boy could give him one of the expensive ones, but Jiang Tongtu was reluctant to do so. Anyway, he could see them even if he didn't buy them, so he might as well watch the Liu family boy set them off.

But he couldn't say this, for fear of offending others.

This year, Kong Yuanbao and Wan Xian came to Jiang's house again. Jiang Wangyou became pregnant two days before New Year's Eve. The couple treated her like a porcelain doll, holding her in their palms and protecting her, fearing that she would be unhappy or angry. They even said that she should stay at Jiang's house during the New Year and not go anywhere else.

As for visiting relatives to pay New Year's greetings, let Kong Mingxue take the children with them.

To avoid collision.

It’s only been a month and the fetus is still unstable.

Jiang Wangyou had a smooth birth and took good care of herself during the confinement period, so she didn't have any painful memories. Jiang Fubao gave her an acupuncture injection, which greatly reduced the pain during delivery.

It’s a good thing that she recovered, otherwise Jiang Fubao would not agree to let my eldest sister get pregnant again so soon.

She is the one who takes care of the health of her family members.

I would take their pulse every now and then.

Whenever there was something wrong, Jiang Fubao would stuff the prescription into the maid's hand before the disease broke out.

Soon after that the medicine was prepared and they drank it.

Nip the disease in the bud.

Money and energy make people healthy, and Jiang Ruyi often cooks medicinal food at home, so the Jiang family members are all in good shape. They all have rosy faces, as if each of them is several years younger.

The New Year's scene is the same as last year. The only change is the dishes on the table. And Jiang Fubao, after tonight, will be a fourteen-year-old girl. Girls here become adults at the age of fourteen. The Jiang family plans to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Jiang Fubao on her birthday.

Similar to a modern coming-of-age ceremony.

Rich families would hold grand weddings, inviting all their relatives and friends, making it as lively as a wedding banquet. Poor families would just have the mother comb all their daughter's hair in the morning, put it into a bun, and insert a wooden hairpin, and that would be it.

It was no different from usual, I couldn't even eat one more bite of food.

On the contrary, their family members will start to introduce them to other men.

At the age of fourteen, raising him one more day would be a loss.

Some mean ones can’t even wait for their birthdays, and they come of age right after the Chinese New Year.

"Fubao, put on your cloak before you go out and play. Although it's not snowing outside, it's very cold. Don't catch a cold." After dinner, Jiang Fubao was about to go out to set off fireworks with his brothers and sisters. As soon as he walked into the yard, he was stopped by his mother.

Zhang Yanzi brought a rabbit fur cloak and helped her put it on before letting her go out.

Even at the age of fourteen, Jiang Fubao is still a child loved by his family.

Wearing a hat that was integrated with the cloak and a circle of rabbit fur, her face looked white and rosy, very cute.

Like a bud about to bloom, I can't bear to pick it.

"Boom-"

"Fubao, come out quickly, don't waste time, the Liu family boys have started to release them, if you come too late you won't be able to see them, come out quickly."

Outside the gate, Jiang Tongtu urged.

Jiang Fubao quickened his pace and ran out.

They played until all the fireworks were set off and then came back.

There was still some time before midnight, and the whole family was huddled in the main room, playing cards, listening to stories, and playing chess. The laughter was almost blowing the roof off.

The flames in the charcoal stove danced back and forth, and there was a huge temperature difference between inside and outside the house.

There was not a single servant in the Jiang residence; they were all gathered in the backyard drinking and eating.

On New Year's Eve, the city gates are always open.

The two officers guarding the city gate had an extra plate of braised meat and a pot of sake than usual.

Even if you drink this wine in one breath, you won't get drunk. It's just for the atmosphere.

The two sat together, chatting and eating.

There were almost no people on the streets.

Everyone is busy reuniting at home.
