Chapter 182 I'm Going To Be Dumb

Niu was already thinking about who he should talk to about this interesting story about Jiang Mixia's family before going to work in Babaofang later.

Mrs. Ma?She has the fastest mouth and loves to talk nonsense with others.

Aunt Chen is also good, she knows the most people, as long as she can spread the word, it can spread to several nearby alleys.

Yes, yes, and that...

Niu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat.

cough!
Niu hurriedly coughed a few times, trying to cough out the thing that caused the stinging throat, but after trying several times, it still had no effect, and even felt more and more painful.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yaosheng was a little displeased.

On the dinner table, this appearance is really without any manners.

"I, I..." Niu's voice was hoarse, "I got a fishbone."

It's just a big deal.

Zhang Yaosheng frowned, and handed the steamed buns on the table to Niu Shi, "Two bites will be enough."

Yes, on weekdays, when anyone gets stuck with a fishbone, he eats some dry food, just choke on the fishbone.

Niu hurriedly took the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

He ate it in big mouthfuls, not daring to chew too much, and swallowed it like a jujube.

The steamed buns were a bit dry, and it took a lot of effort to swallow them. Niu had to stretch his neck, and finally went to scoop up a scoop of cold water, trying to send down the choked steamed buns.

After a lot of effort, I swallowed the steamed buns and drank the water, but the tingling sensation in my throat never eased, on the contrary, it became more and more serious. The whole throat felt like being stabbed open by a knife, burning hot.

Such pain made Niu subconsciously scratch his neck, and even took a ladle to scoop cold water from the water tank to drink.

On the day of the twelfth lunar month, the dripping water almost turned into ice, and the inside of the water tank was also covered with thin ice. Zhang Yaosheng was terrified when he saw that he was pouring cold water into his mouth.

"It's all right..." Zhang Yaosheng stood up to look.

Niu opened her mouth, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound!

Are you going to be dumb?

Niu was startled, and wanted to shout even more desperately, but in the end, he still uttered an extremely hoarse, almost inaudible "ah, ah" like a white goose being pinched by its neck.

it's over...

Really going to be dumb.

Niu Shi suddenly sat down on the ground.
-
It snowed twice in a row.

There was only one day in between.

Both snowfalls were heavy, and the intervals were so short that the snow was almost half a foot thick, making walking very difficult.

For Song Jingyun, it was a short distance from home to the academy, but even so, if you travel in such thick snow, your shoes and socks will still be more than half wet.

Regarding this situation, Jiang Mixia asked Zhu Cui to study together, how to make a pair of shoes for both Song Jingyun and Cheng Mao to step on the snow, so that they can go out conveniently.

But before the two of them figured out how to step on snow boots, Song Jingyun and Cheng Mao came back with their suitcases on their backs.

"Why are you back at this hour?" Jiang Mixia and Zhu Cui hurriedly prepared hot tea and hand stoves for the two of them.

"It's snowing too much. Many houses in the academy leaked water when the snow melted, and there were two houses that were heavily pressed by the snow, and the beams and columns had cracks. The head of the mountain was afraid that something would happen, so he let the family nearby, Go back to study first, and let us go back after the academy repairs it."

Song Jingyun said, "I guess it will take seven or eight days."

Seven or eight days, that is almost the time for the exam.

Jiang Mixia nodded, "Alright, so I won't run back and forth these two days."

And because Jiang Mixia felt that the weather was not very good before it snowed, she asked Zhucui and Chengmao to prepare more vegetables and meat at home.

Now there are plenty of charcoal fires in the house, as well as enough food and water, even if you stay at home, you are not afraid at all.

And because it's freezing outside, the nest is getting more and more greedy at home, and Zhucui's cooking skills are really good now, so she cooks in different ways.

Today one makes noodles with meat, tomorrow one has braised mutton, today one noon is chicken noodle soup, and tomorrow one noon is steaming cabbage and pork stuffed dumplings...

In short, the fragrance above Jiang Mixia's home can be said to last for a long time.

The neighbors on both sides couldn't help sniffing their noses and smacking their lips from time to time.

"Don't tell me, Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Song's family are really living comfortably, and the food here is really good."

"There is a reason for the good food. I have heard that Mrs. Jiang is very capable. She has business contacts with Zheng Ji in the county, and it seems that she also has a cooperative relationship with Qiu Ji."

"That's what happened. When I went to Qiuji, I heard from relatives who worked in Qiuji that Mrs. Jiang drew pictures for Qiuji. A picture is worth several taels of silver. A stack of pictures is worth more than ten pieces. , a few dozen taels of silver and you’ll get it.”

"Tsk tsk, those who make money quickly should be the ones who are popular all the time and drink spicy food."

"What is this? I also heard that Mrs. Jiang has a farm in her house. Every year, the tenants and tenants are filial. They can't finish eating and drinking. Not to mention there is a workshop in the house."

"So, there is a reason for people to go to restaurants to buy food all day long. It's not like a prodigal or something. We can't follow Niu's example and gossip behind his back."

"That's right, Mrs. Niu was stabbed in the throat by a fishbone. I don't know if it's because of his bad mouth. God can't stand it anymore."

"It's not neat. There are gods up three feet above the head. It's hard to say. It's hard to say. If my family is so rich, I will eat and drink like this all day long."

"Then I'm different. I don't eat and drink like this. I eat more than Mrs. Jiang's. I'll buy a few more dishes when I come back..."

……

After several days of sunny days, the snow gradually melted.

The roof and walls of the academy have also been repaired and returned to normal.

By this time, it was time for the exam.

The exam will last for three full days, and several masters will come up with questions one after another, and the students will answer according to the exam questions and hand them in within the specified time.

These few exams are somewhat modeled on the appearance of the general exam, first the four books and five classics, then the verses, and finally the current affairs policy.

The former two books are easier to test if you have read more books. Only when dealing with current affairs is the final solution, the topic chosen by the master is "human beings are not great saints, and there are few complete materials, but they can be applied."

This question is a bit clichéd, but it is such a topic that it is even more difficult to answer. It is not easy to answer well.

So much so that when the last exam was over, many of them became eggplants beaten by frost, a little wilted.

Only Song Jingyun was in high spirits, even jubilant.

"It seems that Mr. Song Lang is quite confident about this exam." Wei Liangji was full of envy.

It's no wonder that Song Jingyun's daily reading progress is faster than theirs. If there is no accident like this, Song Jingyun will definitely get the first place.
