The Rose of the Red Chamber

Chapter 185

Zhao Xiuning looked at Tanchun's complacent and showing off, and there was only one question in his mind.

Is her daughter stupid?

Is it stupid?

The son-in-law is stupid and she admits it, the son-in-law is not stupid and it is not easy to fool.

But why did the girl become so stupid after only a few months of marriage?

Who are these two people fooling each other on weekdays?

Fortunately, there is no child yet. If there is a child, she can't even imagine that the child will...

Sin!

This year's autumn is set on the first day of August, which happens to be the third day of the dog days...

Satisfy and dispel the cold, dispel the cold...

hehe~

What to do?My hands are itchy.I really want to kill this careless person.

Tanchun was intoxicated with himself for a long time, and found that his mother looked at him more and more strangely, and reflexively hid beside Liu Liu, then poked his head and asked Zhao Xiuning, "Mom? What's the matter, are you always so moved? "It doesn't look like it.

Zhao Xiuning was too angry to speak, but Liu Liu, looking at Tanchun behind him, hinted very kindly, "Your brothers are all afraid of heat. If you go to the examination room and close it for a few days during the dog days, I'm really afraid that you will make trouble." It's heatstroke."

"..."

Whoops, I'm going, she's embarrassing to the time traveler.

Tanchun was embarrassed by himself, but when he saw Zhao Xiuning, he immediately regained his energy and continued to dance, "Anyway, this hand stove and water cup must be brought in. It's not bad to cook noodles. As for the others Yes, I still have a way. Wait for me for another two days, and I promise that I will never let my brothers suffer from heatstroke and heat."

Nitrate turns into ice when it meets water. This principle is an old stalk of time-travel dramas.

Ordinary people can't get saltpeter, but how can their military exploits not be able to get saltpeter.Get some small pieces of saltpeter, and then bring them to the examination room for the younger brothers.

That's convenience.

You can also get some dried wormwood, which can repel mosquitoes, and put a few pieces in the hand stove to ensure comfort.

By the way, there are also mint leaves.

On the day of entering the examination room, they can also make some mung bean cakes in advance with the water and noodles soaked in mint leaves and bring them in.

Mix rock sugar, chrysanthemum, wolfberry, tea leaves, etc., and then boil it with the hand stove, and then put the one-ear water glass directly on the ice to relieve the heat and cool down.

Tanchun thought of this, and thought that when preparing these, he must put some brocade grass, who knows if it will cause diarrhea.

Zhao Xiuning has always known that Tanchun ghosts have a lot of ideas, but it's just that they are a little unreliable in their daily routines.

Hearing Tanchun's sworn promise at this time, Zhao Xiuning actually didn't hold much hope.

But looking at her daughter's shining eyes, it's really hard to refuse for a while.

"Take it easy, after so many years of exams, no one is a fool." Don't think that there are many things that the predecessors didn't know. "

Fortunately, Tanchun finally did something reliable.

Two days later, when Tanchun brought over all the things she had prepared, this time it was Zhao Xiuning's eyes that lit up.

It is a circle smaller than the one-eared water glass, and the porcelain cup that is going to be used as an ice bowl just fits into the one-eared water glass, which does not take up any space in the test basket.

The saltpeter that had been cut into specified sizes was neatly piled up in a corner, and next to that corner was a whole layer of silver filigree carbon.In the innermost corner of the silver carbon, there is another handful of transparent round beads the size of soybeans.

This round bead is not something else, but a soap bead that Tanchun specially asked someone to dig out from the whole bar of soap for washing hands.

The tea bags and the necessary herbs were wrapped in plain white gauze according to the regulations, and instant noodles and seasoning cubes made into thumb-sized pieces were also packed in.

Then there was the three-leaf manual fan specially made by Tanchun, which was the kind of traction fan invented by Yongzheng.

Tanchun made some improvements based on the actual situation and turned it into a foot-operated fan that can be assembled.

"Sister, this fan is good, but isn't it too ostentatious to bring it in? And will you dare the examiner to leave a playful impression?"

Zhao Huan and the twins looked at the test items prepared by Tanchun, and although they thought they were practical, they were afraid they would be too eye-catching.

"You are really stupid when you think of your sister. Only your feet know whether the shoes are comfortable or not. Now you are going to take the exam, so naturally you have to prepare all these foreign things and strive for a high-quality exam environment. This fan is small and exquisite. Coincidentally placed in the corner, very inconspicuous. As far as the environment of the Gongyuan is concerned, it is so dark that it is strange that the examiner can see it.

Sister has already asked the three of you to weave cloth.Just knit that kind of hemp, which is breathable and not sticky.It will probably be delivered tonight.When the time comes, each of you will bring one piece in, put the quilts in the examination room at the bottom for cushioning, and then spread the cloth that my sister asked to weave for you on the top. Well, as for the covers, anyway, it’s hot, so you can cover them with clothes. "That kind of coarse cloth is much easier to weave than fine cloth.

After that, Tanchun carefully told them some of the pre-exam preparations she knew.

For example, carefully clean the number rooms, wipe clean the water jars provided in each number room, and use the water jars to fill ice-making water later.

He also explained how to use the things he brought in, that he had to eat some brocade grass every day, and that he had to wash his hands frequently.

Zhao Huan and the twins listened to Tanchun's instructions and arrangements, but nodded and said nothing.

Looking at each other, it's easy to talk about other things, but they will never bring that fan in.

It's too ostentatious and a little bit playful. If it leaves such an impression on the examiner, God knows if it will affect the grade.

......

For the sake of Zhao Huan and the others, the Jiang family entered the capital two or three days in advance.

It turned out that Jiang Xingyuan's small courtyard in the capital had bought his neighbors one after another in recent years.After several expansions, it directly became a very large house.

Well, that's relative to the past, too.

There are also two housekeepers arranged in this house, but there are not many.Therefore, this time, Zhao Xiuning brought more than half of the daily attendants from Chang'an County.

Of course, no matter how many people they bring this time, after the three brothers finish the exam, they will all go back to Chang'an with them.If the three brothers pass the exam, just wait until a few days before the next spring exam and then follow them.

The three of Zhao Huan are the protagonists, so they must come.Zhao Xiuning, Liu Liu, and Tanchun are also indispensable.

Jiang Xingyuan and Zhao Guoji wanted to follow, but they were afraid of causing too much psychological pressure on the three teenagers, so they all stayed in Chang'an, and only Liu Xianglian followed them to take care of them.

On the first day of August, before dawn, all the kitchens of the Jiang family were busy.

The servants on the stove specially brought over from Chang'an, according to the arrangement of division of labor and cooperation, first, the master Baian in the small kitchen and his assistants took out the mint water that had been soaked since yesterday and began to make mung bean cakes and other dim sum steamed cakes.

These things are the staple food of the three brothers for a few days.

Also in the small kitchen, a servant with extremely fast knife skills is cutting a large piece of sauced beef marinated last night and tearing the air-dried jerky into strips...

On the side of the big kitchen, there are several parts, one part is sitting for breakfast this morning, and the lunch that will be brought into the examination room later.

The other part is to start frying pies, which is the dinner for the three brothers today.

After today, the standard of living of the three brothers can only depend on themselves.

All of a sudden, the food was ready and everyone had breakfast before Liu Xianglian escorted a carriage to the examination room.

Today is such a special day, no one dares to let the three brothers ride horses to the examination room, who knows if there will be accidents on the way.

Liu Xianglian was pretty good, until the three of them entered the gate of the examination room, nothing happened.

After sending the person in, Liu Xianglian waited outside until the gate of the examination room was closed, and then turned around and went back.

Tanchun discovered a new business opportunity, so he planned to open a special store for examinees in the capital.

Although it is inevitable that they will not be imitated, some imitations are willing to be remembered.

She divided the things prepared for Zhao Huan and the others this time into high, high, and low grades and placed them in the shop. Because of the literati's face-saving characteristics, the names of high, high, and low grades have become exquisite, elegant, and pastoral.

Because the Liu family already had a shop in the capital, it was easy.Rather than fidgeting at home every day like Zhao Xiuning and Liu Liu, she might as well give full play to her talent as a time-traveling woman and create new miracles in business.

The warm wind gently lifted the curtain on the car window, Liu Xianglian inadvertently swept into the carriage, then twitched the corners of her mouth and turned her head to the side.

Really, he now knows what is the exam syndrome that his daughter-in-law often talks about.

Since the autumn time is getting closer, the daughter-in-law will not giggle there from time to time, and sometimes laugh out loud.

While smirking, he clenched his fists with bright eyes, that look - really stupid.

After that, there was a strange aura all over her body, that kind of 'I'm proud, but I'm very low-key' aura.

Thinking of the flushed back that was patted by his mother-in-law yesterday, his heart ached.But the daughter-in-law still can't take it seriously, which shows that the daughter-in-law's illness is more serious than the three brothers-in-law.

When Liu Xianglian was seriously thinking about when her daughter-in-law's illness would be cured, Tanchun had already thought through the business blueprint in the carriage.

When I was young, when I arrived at the Wenmo shop, which was preparing to add items for testing, Tanchun got out of the carriage supported by Liu Xianglian. Xianglian walked into the shop when Liu Xianglian didn't know why and thought she was 'ill' again.

After looking around inside and outside the shop, I finally decided to erect a large wooden board in a conspicuous place, on which were engraved the specifications and taboos of test products promulgated by the imperial court.

And let the shopkeeper in the shop move the goods on the east wall of the shop to the west or another wall as much as possible, so that the people put all the test equipment she brought on it .

After the things were arranged one by one, Tanchun realized that the shopkeeper was a little confused, "But what's wrong?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "The autumn of Jinke has already begun. Why don't you wait until next year to display these things for your wife?"

Qiu Wei happened to be in this year, and the test was Enke. If these things are displayed at this time, there will be a market in the spring of next year at the earliest.If it was put out so early, wouldn't it all be learned by others?

It seemed that a flock of crows flew over Tanchun's head, which made Tanchun suddenly feel that her IQ might have been artificially pulled to the same level as Liu Xianglian.

"It's natural. I've seen the effect. I'll leave the rest to you." After Tanchun said this with a blank face, he turned around and took the girl out of the shop.

She has to go back and think about why those time-traveling women can call the wind and the rain.

"Daughter-in-law, where are we going?" Should we go home or go out for a stroll?

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was very depressed, Liu Xianglian asked her cautiously.

Tanchun raised his head quickly when he heard the words, and gave Liu Xianglian a hard look.

How?This is because she is not ashamed enough, right?

The author has something to say: Thank you 14176896 for your vote, thank you!

For those of you who watched the update before [-]:[-] p.m., it is very clear whether you are single or not.

Tell us a particularly embarrassing thing.

Yesterday afternoon, a man called the author and asked the author to have a meal together, but because he was too familiar, he hung up the phone before realizing it.

╮(￣▽￣)╭

I said to him, "Are you stupid? If you go out to eat today, you will either be stuck in traffic or be slaughtered. With that money, you can eat two meals in another day. At that time, you will have a barbecue and a hot pot meal. …”

Oops, I'll go and crush a peach blossom to death with my own hands.
