After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

After Pei Ji distributed the food to the victims, and basically solved the follow-up survival of the victims, before starting to build the embankment, he devoted himself to the next busy task.

With a gift of thanks to Zhu Jiangjiang, he appeared in Xiaohuang Village again.

When he came this time, what he saw once again refreshed his understanding of Zhu Jiangjiang.

Looking at the pictures of people in twos and threes on the balcony enjoying the cool air in front of Pei's house, some were studying, some were literate, and some were practicing music, Pei Ji wondered for a while whether he had entered the wrong door.

But Zhu Jiangming was sitting there, very close to a man, talking about something.

This scene made Pei Ji feel very uncomfortable.

With a sullen face, he strode forward and slapped the box in his hand on the table in front of Zhu Jiangjiang, startling her.

"General Pei, why are you here again?"

again?

Zhu Jiangjiang used the word "again" to make Pei Ji even more upset, "Why, if Mr. Ming can come, this general can't?"

"Why are you so angry? Someone provoked you?" Zhu Jiangjiang looked innocent, wondering what was wrong with him.

But Mingji beside him could see that Pei Ji was jealous. After all, he had already seen Pei Ji's feelings for Zhu Jiangjiang, so he moved his chair unconsciously to keep a distance from her.

"General Pei, long time no see. I'm here today to discuss something serious with the young lady." Mingji explained silently.

After speaking, he left the table for the two of them, got up and went to the pond to relax.

After the eye-obscuring person left, Pei Ji's expression softened a little. He pointed to the box on the table and said, "This is a gift from the general, and I will take it as a thank you gift."

"Give it to me?" It was the first time Zhu Jiangjiang received a gift for her alone in ancient times.

The congratulatory gifts that the housewarming wine received before were all for her and Pei Xiaoyu.

She picked up the long wooden box and looked at it, found the sliding button that was open, and opened it, and there was a jade hairpin lying quietly inside, which seemed to be expensive.

"General Pei, we each take what we need for food. Your gift is too expensive for me to accept." Zhu Jiangjiang put the slider on and pushed it in front of him.

But Pei Ji pushed it to her again, and said in an almost commanding tone, "Take it!"

"..." This person is too domineering, "Thank you."

Zhu Jiangjiang accepted the gift before other people looked over, got up and took it back to the room to put it away.

Pei Ji, who had successfully delivered the gift, was in a good mood. When he wanted to join the pleasant atmosphere full of book fragrance, he found that he couldn't get into it at all as a big bastard.

Even Pei Xiaoyu was practicing calligraphy seriously and had no time to pay attention to him.

Forget it, he just sat aside and drank tea.

However, Pei Ji really envied them, and if possible, he also wanted to learn to read with them here.

……

The crops in the field began to change from green to dark green. The neat crops made people feel good and made the villagers feel unprecedentedly satisfied.

Zhu Jiangjiang's second month's grain distribution time came, and the village chiefs brought people to collect the grain one after another, and Xiaohuang Village became lively again.

"Miss Zhu, I called this from the mountains, let me try it for you."

Most of the people who came to collect the food did not come empty-handed. They either brought some game or eggs from the village. As long as they could get it, they all brought it to Zhu Jiangjiang.

This was a good intention from the villagers in each village, and Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

In just one day, the food shelves in the kitchen were full.

Things can't be kept for too long, Zhu Jiangjiang can only pickle and soak them, and some can be planted directly in the yard.

"What about the eggs?"

Together with her, Zhou Liang disposed of the hare brought to her by the villagers, and she didn't know what to do with the remaining basket of eggs.

Zhu Jiangjiang picked up the egg and looked at it under the sunset, but he didn't see any black spots inside, which means it can be kept for a while.

"Let's keep the eggs for now. I'll cook them for you to eat on the road in a few days."

The way she was talking about was naturally about Zhou Liang going to the capital to take part in the scientific examination. Counting the time, Zhou Liang was about to leave.

Zhou Liang didn't refuse Zhu Jiangjiang's kindness. When he thought about going to the capital soon, his thoughts began to drift away, filled with emotion.

He finally had to go back to that place.

the day of departure.

Zhou Liang woke up in the house that Zhu Jiangjiang built for them. His younger brothers and sisters moved to the new house a few days ago.

Although the layout of their house is simple, it still belongs to them.

"Is everything packed?" Zhu Jiangjiang came over early in the morning with two baskets in his hands, and Pei Xiaoyu, who followed her, also carried two hands of things.

"I made this for you when I got up early in the morning. It should last for a while."

She made pancakes, cut up the beef that last night until morning, wrapped it in oiled paper, and took it with Zhou Liang to eat on the road.

"Brother Zhou, here are the clothes and shoes my sister-in-law bought for you, here you are." Pei Xiaoyu brought the things to him in a nonchalant way.

Under the influence of her sister-in-law and brothers and sisters, she knew the importance of the imperial examination, and everyone was expecting him to be the champion.

Zhou Liang couldn't help blushing when he looked at the overcrowded bookcase.

"Little lady, Zhou Liang will definitely live up to expectations, and will definitely give you one of the candidates to come back!"

He must be elected, not only for himself, but also for Zhu Jiangjiang!

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I was joking when I said that I wanted you to come back as the champion." Zhu Jiangjiang said deliberately.

This time he went to the capital alone, and he might encounter many things on the way. It is the greatest luck for him to come back smoothly. As for whether he can win the exam, she does not insist.

"You can go at ease, I promise to take good care of your younger brothers and sisters."

The more she said that, the more Zhou Liang couldn't help it. The man didn't cry easily, but he still cried in the end.

"elder brother……"

Several children surrounded him and hugged him, even Pei Xiaoyu couldn't bear him, so they hugged and cried together.

"Okay, okay, your brother is leaving, let's take him to the city, okay?" Zhu Jiangjiang temporarily decided to send Zhou Liang to the city.

Seeing him sitting in the carriage with his own eyes is not reassuring.

They locked the door, changed into new clothes, and the group went out happily and lively.

Everyone in the village knew that Zhou Liang was going to the capital to rush for the exam, so when passing by the villagers, everyone blessed him and hoped that he would pass the exam.

In the village, Liang Wenzhou looked at Zhou Liang's back with envy and regret.

If there was no such incident, then he would be the one going to the capital to catch up with the exam at this moment.

In Jiangnan Town, Zhou Liang was not the only one who went to the capital to rush for the exam. There were also several students from the private school of the Ming family.

Of course, this group of people also included Zhu Qingran.

Ever since the rumors about him and Mingyao came out, Zhu Qingran's condition has been very poor, and until now, he has not recovered.

Even so, Zhu Lin still helped him prepare for the exam in the capital.

Zhu Qingran is well aware of the importance of obtaining fame and fame, and he will fight for Mingyao if not for himself.

Zhu Jiangjiang felt very complicated when he saw Zhu Qingran sitting in the innermost part of the carriage with blank eyes.

She couldn't help him with the imperial examination, she could only try her best to perform the play that was to be performed for the whole town in a few days, and hoped that when he came back, she would be able to restore the current situation for him and Mingyao.

"Brother, come on..."

"Son, try to get your father a scholar back."

"Brother Zhu, take care, Yaoer, I will take care of you and wait for you to come back."

The carriage started to move, and the test takers caught up one after another, sending their blessings.

Zhu Jiangjiang walked slowly behind without saying anything, just optimistic about Pei Xiaoyu and the others.

When the carriage was leaving the city, several luxurious carriages just entered the city. Because there were too many people sending off the examination at the gate of the city, the people inside the carriage lifted the curtain curiously to see.

Inside the car, there were only a few noblemen, young ladies, and a pair of grizzled old men.
