Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Tasting Her Skills in the Capital City
For Tong Erlang, the mistake Zhu Hongyun made this time was much bigger than the last one, so Tong Tiehu was very angry.
Under these circumstances, all he could do was wait, just like the last time.
Once Tong Tiehu’s anger subsided, Zhu Hongyun’s pregnancy would be noticeable. They were all family. If he truly brought Zhu Hongyun back, Tong Tiehu wouldn’t believe that they would be kicked out.
With this in mind, Tong Erlang behaved himself.
Tong Xingda had been scolded by Tong Tiehu. Although he was outraged, he could only bear it for a while.
Qiao Xiaomai was resilient, so resilient that he didn’t dare to confront her now.
A gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years, just bear it for the time being!
Tong Xingda had to bear it, and so did Zhang Family. Although Zhu Hongyun had instigated it, she was the main executor. After the effects of the Truth Elixir had passed, she was beaten up by Tong Xingda.
But what could she do?
Qiao Xiaomai had made such a harsh threat, Tong Xingda had to bear it, and so did she.
So can be said, after that event, the Tong Family had a follow-up of only one word: endure.
Tong Sanlang was satisfied with this situation. They could live peacefully without making a fuss or causing trouble. He and Qiao Xiaomai both desired a life consistency.
After the visit to the Tong Family, he climbed over Rooster Mountain to see Deng Chun.
He brought a bag of sweet potatoes.
Deng Chun had always lived a wild person’s life. The tools for preparing food were very crude. However, sweet potatoes were easy to handle and could even be eaten raw.
Deng Chun didn’t give him any blessings. He just told him to study well and then sent him away.
After leaving Deng Chun’s place, he felt a little depressed.
Truth be told, he did not really understand Deng Chun’s persistence.
Yet while not understanding, he was also somewhat shocked, he wondered, what kind of power could sustain Deng Chun through a lifetime in the wilderness willingly?
With his martial arts skills, talent, and proficiency in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, Deng Chun could have had a much more exciting life.
With a sigh, he returned to the manor.
That evening, when he mentioned this to Qiao Xiaomai, she said without hesitation, “He is either bound by loyalty or feelings. The first seems unlikely. It’s most likely because of feelings.”
Love can shake heaven and earth.
It can create miracles.
It can make one willingly endure hardships.
“Alright, let’s stop thinking about this, and focus on the Imperial Examination. All the scholars from the entire prefecture will be participating, this is like a province-level college entrance examination of future generations.”
Furthermore, it’s much more difficult than the college entrance examination of later generations. In the Imperial Examination, only the top five were selected. Those who didn’t make the cut got nothing, they had to repeat the curriculum for three years before retaking the examination.
Under such severe conditions, diligent revision without distractions is necessary.
Put other distractions aside until after the examination.
Tong Sanlang understood this principle well. He discarded his distracting thoughts and devoted himself to studying.
Capital City.
Due to the urgent delivery from post stations, Yang Ye received the soybeans, sesame, and millet the next evening.
These are very common agricultural crops. If it weren’t for Qiao Xiaomai’s huge effort to send them, he wouldn’t have shown any interest. But since Qiao Xiaomai had sent them all the way here, surely they must have some extraordinary qualities.
He took a sampling of each and asked the kitchen to prepare some dishes from them.
Soybeans needed to be soaked, sesame was mainly used for oil extraction, and among these, millet was the easier to handle.
That evening, a dish of millet and date porridge was added to Yang Ye’s dinner table.
The fragrance was very familiar. Familiar to the point that Yang Ye raised his eyebrows and immediately brought the bowl of porridge from the edge of the table to his side.
He scooped up a spoonful, and as the porridge entered his belly, he couldn’t help but sigh gently.
Finally, he could taste Qiao Xiaomai’s cooking in the Capital City.
Nostalgic.
