Chapter 216: Everyone Has a Serious Illness
A gentle autumn breeze is blowing.
The sun is just right.
We've already missed the best time to admire the lotus flowers.
The lotus flowers in the pond are nearing the end of their bloom, their petals falling to reveal tender green lotus pods.
A group of young girls stood on the shore, looking towards the pavilion.
twitter……
When Jiang Zifeng and Jiang Ziyan arrived, they were still taken aback.
Although they had prepared themselves mentally, they still felt extremely uncomfortable when faced with those intense gazes.
He quickened his pace and strode towards his younger sister.
"Big brother, second brother..." Little Jiang Miaomiao called out sweetly and darted in front of them.
The two brothers exchanged a glance.
One of them pinched the little one's cheek and asked, "Was Miaomiao a good girl today?"
They only learned from their mother that all the ladies and young women who were watching Madam Fang and Madam Qi were actually brought there by their younger sister.
According to Mother's plan, the two sides would fight like dogs and become enemies.
The speed at which things are escalating has far exceeded everyone's control.
I wonder if the authorities will conduct a thorough investigation?
Will this year's college entrance examination be retaken?
Whether it's good or bad depends entirely on the emperor's decision.
However, they didn't care anymore. If they could bring down the Qi family because of this, it would be a sure-fire deal.
At worst, I can retake the exam after everything is over.
The young man was full of vigor and ambition, possessing a spirit of preferring to break rather than bend.
However, Jiang Miaomiao was not so pessimistic.
They say it's good to rest under a big tree, and now the brothers have three big trees around them.
The test has been taken, and the results have been released.
The exam paper was returned to its rightful owner, and even if the authorities investigated, they wouldn't find anything wrong with it.
There's no need to worry unnecessarily.
These pretty young ladies are still the most troublesome ones right now.
If you agree to this, you'll offend that; but you can't accept everything either, or you'll tear the house down.
The only solution is to prevent future problems.
Jiang Ziyan hugged his younger sister and looked at her with affection. "Little sister, what do you want to do?"
Jiang Miaomiao didn't say anything, she just kept giggling foolishly.
She took two flatbreads out of her small cloth bag and stuffed them into her brothers' mouths, saying, "Brothers, eat the flatbreads first, the good stuff will come later..."
Jiang Zifeng faced the shore directly and began to eat heartily without any restraint.
They ate so ravenously, which was rather unrefined.
He saw that Dali and the others ate like this, so he decided to practice and get used to it first.
It's just for a few girls to see, it's not a big deal.
Anyway, he was prepared to join the army with his adoptive father, and he didn't plan to get married until he made a name for himself.
I doubt any girl would be willing to gamble her entire life on that.
So he wasn't worried at all.
As for the Jiang Zi Banquet.
He had already prepared his explanation: he had sworn an oath before the ancestral tablets of the Jiang and Lu families that he would not marry until he became the top scholar in the imperial examination.
It's unlikely that any company would dare to accept this bet.
After all, everyone wonders, will I win, and when will I win...
If it doesn't work, wouldn't that waste a person's entire life?
Or will she become an old maid before getting married?
He dares to gamble; no one in this world would be that foolish.
However, they never had the chance to say those words to the girls opposite them.
The maids carrying trays passed by the girls, causing a commotion.
"what is that?"
"Get out of the way, take it away..."
"what……"
The maids specially lifted the lid to let them see.
The result was a cacophony of screams.
Jiang Zifeng craned his neck to look outside. What was wrong with these girls?
Did you see a ghost?
After a while.
The maid then brought out platters of delicacies (insects).
Fried bamboo worms, fried bee pupae, fried cicada pupae, fried grasshoppers, fried crickets...
In short, everything that looked terrifying in the insect feasts of ethnic minorities that Jiang Miaomiao remembered was served.
The things that girls fear most are often the things that some people love.
For example, my older brother really loves to eat.
At first, he didn't dare to eat them, but after seeing his sister eat bamboo worms, he started to try them little by little, until finally...
They accept all comers.
When he saw the plates of fragrant and crispy...insects, his mouth was already watering.
He instantly understood his sister's intention.
He picked up a plate of fried grasshoppers, faced the girls, and popped the golden, crispy grasshoppers into his mouth.
He quickly finished one plate and picked up another plate of fried crickets...
This caused the girls opposite to scream, and some even gagged.
"My God, Jiang Zifeng actually eats insects! What kind of insects does he eat?" The girl in pink looked on incredulously.
“One plate is locusts, and the other is fried crickets…” a young maid from Lu Garden replied to her.
The little girl stared at the maid in disbelief, "Ah... a cricket...!!"
After realizing what had happened, she grabbed her skirt and ran away in a panic.
Wasn't he supposed to be a noble young master from the capital? He does look decent, but... how come he eats those kinds of things?
Vulgar and disgusting!
I won't marry...
She'd rather become a nun than get married.
She didn't want to have to eat face-to-face with Jiang Zifeng in the future, watching him wolf down the insects.
It’s creepy to think about it.
The other girls who had originally been interested in Jiang Zifeng also left with furrowed brows.
The remaining girls all had expectations for Jiang Ziyan.
He thought to himself, "Jiang Ziyan looks so refined, he probably wouldn't eat that stuff, right?"
Jiang Ziyan looked at the insect in front of him, his lips twitching slightly.
No matter how delicious these things are, he can't bring himself to eat them.
I have no idea what's going on in my little sister's head. How could a little girl like to eat these things?
He really couldn't figure it out.
Most girls are terrified of insects, with very few exceptions.
Could it be that my sister really wants him to eat these bugs?
He stared intently at the food on the plate, repeatedly trying to mentally prepare himself.
This isn't an insect...it's...made of dough...
He decided to close his eyes and deceive himself for once.
However, he misunderstood.
Those good things weren't prepared for him.
His sister created a formula specifically for him...
A bowl of freshly made chicken blood.
It was placed right in front of him, looking fresh and clean.
He chuckled wryly and gently pinched his sister's nose. "You want your brother to drink this?"
"Hehe...choose one of the two..." Jiang Miaomiao pointed to the fried insects and chicken blood, laughing so hard her eyes disappeared.
She knew her second brother wouldn't dare eat insects, and perhaps even if he did, it wouldn't have any effect.
My second brother has such a charming face that could kill anyone, plus his refined manners while eating this stuff.
Who knows, you might even discover a unique kind of deliciousness in it.
Instead of scaring people to death, they were completely mesmerized.
Jiang Ziyan immediately covered his mouth with his handkerchief and started coughing.
With a determined effort, he closed his eyes, picked up the cup, and poured the contents into his mouth.
An indescribable smell rushed straight to the top of my head.
He suppressed his nausea and held it in his mouth...
Hold your breath.
"Wow..." sound.
It sprayed out towards the lotus pond.
"Blood...he vomited blood..."
"He...he...he's sick..."
A little girl screamed from across the street, then quickly covered her mouth.
His parents never said he was sick.
He vomited so much blood; it looks quite serious.
I heard that the imperial examinations in the future will last for nine days and nine nights.
This...this can't be...
We can't get through this.
No, no matter how handsome or talented this person is, I can't marry him.
I absolutely cannot marry him.
Both brothers have serious illnesses...
