Chapter 157 Love token
"Learn from me, and I'll tell you." Xue Lingyun smiled and talked to Molan about the conditions.
"Forget it. I'll ask the fifth master next time." Molan gave him a white look and didn't like him at all.
As soon as Xue Lingyun heard him mention Xue Lingfeng, his eyes flashed and he said helplessly, "I'll just tell you. Your brother is going to take the children's examination. He has to take three exams, and after three times, he will become a scholar. If you become a scholar, even if he has a reputation, your family can farm without paying rent. After passing the Xiucai exam, the examination will be a township examination. The township examination is held in the provincial capital every three years. The examinees are all scholar. After the examination, they are candidates, and they can be called masters. Just like Cheng Juren in your village, the first name of the person is Jieyuan, and the name of two to ten is Yayuan. This exam is in August, so most people also call it "autumn".
The examination was held in the spring of the second year of the township examination. It was arranged in the government office of the Ministry of Ceremonies in the capital, all of which were attended by the people. After the examination, it was called "Gongshi", and the first name was Huiyuan.
After the meeting, there will be a temple test that can be presided over by the emperor himself or presided over by the minister appointed by him. After that, it was collectively called Jinshi, and the palace examination was divided into three first grade admissions, one was given to Jinshi and the first grade, the second grade was given to Jinshi, and the third grade was given to the same Jinshi. And the first place in this temple test is what we often call the champion, the second one is Bangyan, and the third one is Tanhua.
Now your brother is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go. Don't worry, he will go to the town to take the exam, and I will definitely arrange it. Xue Lingyun explained Molan in detail.
After listening to it, Mo Lan also understood a general idea. Although it was complicated, she also read a little knowledge about this in her previous life, which was not like listening to the book of heaven. The imperial examination has a long way to go. Erlang doesn't have to be the champion. The officialdom is dark, and there is no one in his own house. It's better not to enter the officialdom.
She only expects Erlang and Xiao Saner to take the exam. In the end, there are two masters from the family. You don't have to pay the rent. Just have a good time here. Of course, if she doesn't take the exam, there is nothing. She doesn't care about it.
" Mr. Xue doesn't have to bother to arrange it. Brother, if he can take the exam, he will take the exam, and it's the same if he can't get it back to farm. Let's rely on his real ability." What Mo Lan said to Xue Lingyun was the truth. Reading is to understand things. Although he is happy to take the exam, it is not a bad thing not to take the exam.
"I know, you don't have to worry about it. Let your brother read at ease. Xue Lingyun smiled faintly and did not argue with Molan. He had already thought about it, and he would say hello when the time came.
And Xue Lingfeng also came two days later. Molan was making skin jelly when he came. She had saved a lot of meat skin recently, and she woke up early this morning and exhaled it all in a big pot.
After exhaling, she took out the skin and put it in warm water. The water in the big pot is very dirty. After the pottery is clean, clean water is added.
She put the meat slices on the chopping board and scraped a layer of fat, scraped the pig's hair clean, and then cut it into small pieces. Put it in the water and cook it.
After cooking for a while, she took it out again and replaced it with clean water. Here, she cut the skin into small strips. After the pot was boiled, it was put in again.
Get this skin jelly. Ordinary people don't change the water from this time, but just drop the foam after opening it. But Molan changed the water twice. If the water changes a lot, it will be cool when it comes out, and it looks transparent.
If the water is changed less often, the color will be more turbid.
After boiling, Molan put the things out and put them in the basin. After freezing overnight or for a few hours, this will become meat jelly. When you buckle it out of the basin, it is the same shape as the basin. The bottom is the flesh skin, and the top is crystal clear. At a glance, everything inside can be seen clearly, very crystal clear.
Cut one piece when you eat, and then cut this piece into even slices. You don't need to cut it too thin. If it's too thin, it's not easy to eat. Molan used a trembling knife to cut the time, otherwise it was not easy to cut.
Molan boiled two kinds of skin jelly, and the other time she put soy sauce, which was black after freezing.
These two colors are put on a plate, next to the seasoning prepared in a bowl. This seasoning can be adjusted according to personal taste. Generally, some soy sauce, minced garlic and chili oil are put in. Pick up the meat skin jelly and dip it in it. Molan calls this dish two-color skin jelly.
In winter, due to the warmth and dryness of the house, this two-color skin jelly, frozen cabbage heart and sauerkraut heart dipping sauce are particularly popular because they taste cool and can relieve dryness.
Molan brought the frozen skin and the frozen cabbage heart to Xue Lingfeng, and gave him a pickled cabbage Sichuan white meat.
"Let's eat together." Xue Lingfeng shouted Molan, and his voice was not as cold as before.
"Eat it yourself. I'm not hungry yet." Molan didn't respond to him and felt uncomfortable eating with him.
"Sit down." Xue Lingfeng looked at Molan and pointed to the stool.
Mo Lan was not polite and sat down opposite Xue Lingfeng.
"What's your family's plan for your brother?" Xue Lingfeng asked softly.
"If you can pass the exam, you can pass the exam. If you can't pass the exam, it's okay. It's not necessary to study for reason, not to be an official." Molan replied to him quickly.
"Um, that's right, this mentality is good. It's not a good thing to walk into the court. If he is admitted and continues to study, I'm afraid he will have to enter the town. The best in the town is Liuyun Academy. I have said hello to the dean of the college, and I will arrange for your brother to go in to study. Xue Lingfeng took a mouthful of vegetables and slowly talked to Molan.
"It bothers you. Thank you!" Molan sincerely thanked him. Because Erlang is going to take the exam, Mo Lan and Qin's Chen Xuan have inquired about it. Liuyun Academy in the town is indeed the best, and it is difficult to enter because it is good. Not to mention her own identity, even ordinary rich families in the town can't get in, and Xue Lingfeng is willing to arrange for Erlang to go in. She is really grateful.
"Eat vegetables." Xue Lingfeng smiled and nodded to Molan.
"What? You can laugh. Don't say that you look good when you smile. Molan was a little surprised. This guy always has a cold face and occasionally shows a smile, which is really rare.
After listening to Mo Lan's words, Xue Lingfeng immediately returned to his original appearance.
"Stingy." Molan curled her lips at him.
"The business in the capital has made a lot of money, right?" Mo Lan looked at the other party's stinky face and stopped talking about Xue Lingfeng's smile, but automatically changed the topic.
After listening to her question, Xue Lingfeng raised his eyebrows gently and said, "I don't know."
"I said you can't ignore it! If you make money, you have to return the jade pendant to me. It's been three years. You can't always put it back. Didn't we all agreed on that time?" Molan was a little anxious. She asked this guy for the jade pendant several times, but this guy always played tricks, but he didn't give it to himself.
"A token of love." Xue Lingfeng looked at Molan's anxious look, but he smiled and gave Molan these four words.
After listening to these four words, Mo Lan was so angry that her eyebrows stood upside down, and her swear words almost blurted out. Is it a token of love? She didn't hear it correctly, did she? Xue Lingfeng is too much! Is there such a trick?
"That's my grandma's carry-on jade pendant. What do you order and what do you believe! Come back. I have to give it to my grandmother. I agreed to redeem it for her in three years. You can't cheat!" The roots of Molan's teeth are itchy.
After listening to Mo Lan's words, Xue Lingfeng almost spit out a mouthful of water. Is this jade pendant her grandmother's? But there is a blue character engraved on it. Shouldn't it be her jade pendant? Even the Zhuang family can't be named with the elders, can it? Isn't this girl trying to phouphistic him in order to go back to Yupei?
is not right! The conditions of her family turned out to be not good. She couldn't afford to buy this good jade pendant for her. It may really be her grandmother's belongings, so her grandmother is not an ordinary old peasant lady. Isn't there any secret here? Xue Lingfeng thought a lot for a moment.
"Are you still not going to pay it back?" Molan kept asking.
"No! It's okay to return it..." Xue Lingfeng said here and paused.
"Say it, what's the condition? I'm listening." Molan said helplessly. He wanted to make a condition with himself.
"Give me a token, I want the kind of love, otherwise I won't return the jade pendant!" Xue Lingfeng said it seriously. It's just that there is interest in his eyes. He wants to know what will happen to this girl after listening to it.
Mo Lan stared at Xue Lingfeng, and Xue Lingfeng was not willing to show weakness. He kept looking at Molan without changing his face.
After a long time, Mo Lan smiled at Xue Lingfeng, which was as bright as blooming flowers, as dazzling as the sun, and as fascinating as a poppy.
Xue Lingfeng's eyes narrowed, and the interest in his eyes disappeared. His heart jumped involuntarily, and then he woke up.
This girl is less than thirteen years old. Although her face is beautiful, she is childish, but this smile has a flavor, which is by no means what she deserves at her age! Why? Xue Lingfeng was puzzled.
"Xue Lingfeng." Molan shouted softly, with a trace of charm in her delicate voice.
"Do you really want tokens? Are you sure you want it?"
"Stop!" Xue Lingfeng shouted to stop, and then he stared at Molan seriously and said coldly, "Lanlan, this is not you."
"Hehe." Mo Lan smiled and laughed at herself. She said in a very soft voice, "It's not me, how do you know it's not me? How much do you know about me? I don't even know what I am.
You said you liked me. What do you like about me? Do you like my intelligence? Do you like what I know? Do you appreciate my generousness? Do you think I'm different? Ha ha, if I don't have such an experience, what's the difference? If I don't have these differences, what do you like about me? Men are always greedy. How long can you like me without these?
Xue Lingfeng listened to Molan's whisper quietly. He did not fully understand her words. What kind of experience was that?
Both she and Lao Qi have investigated her, and she has no special experience. She began to show her light at the age of nine, that is, the year she met her. Did something incredible happen that year? But why don't the people in the village know?
