Chapter 284 New Year's Eve Dinner (1)

Shen Shixing left the Imperial College with satisfaction.

The students in charge all sighed that they were raised by stepmothers, and no one loved them. They finally waited for a teacher to come and thought that he was here to teach, but who knew that they were just recruiting books for the "men" of the Hanlin Academy.

Ning Xiu even more confused and said to Liu Weining: "What is this Brother Liu?"

Liu Weining narrowed his eyes slightly, his lips opened and said, "Brother Ning, don't think that the Hanlin Academy's library is despicable. If he can enter the Hanlin Academy, it will be of great help to the competition."

Ning Xiu vaguely understood something and asked, "Brother Liu means to use the Hanlin Academy's collection of books to understand the meaning of the classics?"

Liu Weining shook his head.

"The editors and editors of the Hanlin Academy are all from the Tianlist."

Ning Xiu couldn't help but feel excited.

The so-called Tianchang refers to the top three in the imperial examination, which is the usual top scorer, second-tier and Tanhua.

The top scorer was awarded the title of the Tanhua Association immediately and served in the Hanlin Academy. Among them, the top scorer was awarded the title of the editor, and the second scorer was awarded the title of the editor, and the second scorer was awarded the title of the editor.

Could Liu Weining mean that he wants to ask these people for advice?

If it were an ordinary library, these Hanlin men would naturally not look at each other. But Liu Weining's identity was not ordinary. He was a juren!

"Brother Liu is very proud. These Hanlin officials have just entered the officialdom, and their articles are not as dusk. It is naturally the most appropriate to use them as references."

Liu Weining nodded slightly: "Besides, Master Shen Ge said just now that this book office is just a temporary dispatch and can be completed before the competition, which does not affect the examination. I went there just to copy some documents, which was very easy, and I could naturally write and write essays during the rest of the time. Being able to study and prepare for the exam in a place like Hanlin Academy is also a blessing."

Ning Xiu thought about it carefully and said that's true.

Revising books at the Huguang Guild Hall is also a review of books, and reviewing books at the Hanlin Academy is also a review of books. So why not choose to be in the Hanlin Academy, which has a more literary atmosphere?

Besides, these big guys from the Hanlin Academy are also connected.

Make friends with them and you will leave a good relationship, which may be of use in the future.

After all, Liu Weining did not have Ning Xiu's resources, so it was impossible for him to chat and laugh with the third son of the Zhang family.

"Brother Liu has a good vision."

Ning Xiu bowed his hand.

"Haha, Brother Ning, stop talking. Brother Yu was forced to do it. Brother Yu is envious of you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, left Minglun Hall together, and left the Imperial College

The next month passed quickly, Ning Xiu reviewed Confucian classics at Zhang Juzheng's residence and Zhang Maoxiu all day long, and gave each other questions to answer.

This method is obviously more efficient than reading alone. Ning Xiu felt that his understanding of certain meanings had been improved by another level.

As the New Year was over, Ning Xiu and Zhang Maoxiu relaxed rarely and prepared for the New Year.

Although Ning Xiu was in a foreign land, he had a future home in Taishan and could have a free meal, so he would not bother Mr. Zhang San.

However, Qi Ling'er had enough time to pester Ning Xiu, which made Ning Xiu feel less embarrassed.

Love between men and women cannot be measured by secular reason. Ning Xiu had to try his best to satisfy his fiancée's wishes and stay with her for more time.

On New Year's Eve, the Qi Mansion was decorated with lights and lights, which was indeed very lively.

Ning Xiu, the "prospective son-in-law", is naturally a guest of honor for the Qi family. He doesn't need to help at all, just sit there and enjoy the joy.

Qi Jiguang and Wang Yuejiao sat on the top and watched their children work, with a smile on their faces.

It's no different from the elders of ordinary families!

Qi Baoguo ordered his servants to prepare firecrackers while ordering them to hang colorful lanterns.

He saw the little sister approaching with a mask and joking, "What's the matter? Sister, why don't you join me with your sweetheart?"

Qi Ling'er's voice changed slightly: "I'm very stuffy in the room, come out and have some breath."

After saying that, he took off his mask and said with a smile: "What about this mask? Well, let's talk about it after thinking about it!"

Qi Baoguo rubbed his palms and said with a smile: "It's too ugly."

Qi Ling'er rolled her eyes and immediately hit her pink fist.

"I just knew that bullying people, I did it myself!"

"Oh, little sister, don't beat me anymore, my bones are going to be smashed."

Qi Baoguo laughed and said.

Qi Ling'er beat her for a while and felt bored, so she simply sat on the stone steps in front of the house, staring at the moon on the painted sky in a daze.

"Somehow, I always feel that this year is very different from the past."

"Of course, little sister, do you have a sweetheart?"

Qi Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and she bit her lips tightly and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Wang Yuejiao in the room called out: "Serve the country, Ling'er, come and eat dumplings."

Qi Baoguo rubbed his palms and said to Qi Ling'er: "Silly girl, don't sit here and think about it. Let's go in and eat dumplings."

Qi Ling'er muttered, then Qi Baoguo pulled him up and walked into the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a family sitting around a table, and the New Year’s Eve dinner had already been set up.

Qi Baoguo and Qi Ling'er quickly entered the seat and sat down.

Everyone looked at Qi Jiguang together.

As the head of the family, Qi Jiguang naturally wanted to say something on New Year's Eve.

Qi Jiguang cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Today is New Year's Eve. I won't say much if I have more words. I just hope that this family can be harmonious and everything will be prosperous."

A very simple statement is in line with Qi Jiguang's temperament.

After a moment of pause, Qi Jiguang continued: "But this year is different from previous years. That is, my Qi family has a new member. I believe you have seen it, it is Ning Xiu."

Damn! Ning Xiu couldn't help but secretly complain when he heard this. This old Taishan is too domineering.

He didn't marry into his family, so why did he become a member of the Qi family?

"You should treat him like your own family in the future."

After Qi Jiguang said this, several brothers and sisters all expressed that they would take care of their prospective brother-in-law more. Qi Ling'er and Ning Xiu blushed when they heard this.

Then the younger generations toasted the two elders, first Qi Jiguang's sons, then Qi Ling'er, and finally Ning Xiu's turn.

The gifts cannot be abandoned. You can only eat the New Year’s Eve dinner after completing this process.

It was still the elders who moved their chopsticks first.

Only after Qi Jiguang and Wang Yuejiao start to move can the younger generation start eating.

Wang Yuejiao felt sorry for her son-in-law and daughter, so she picked up a dumpling for each of them.

Although Ning Xiu didn't like this action, he agreed with great gratitude.

He put the dumplings into his mouth and bite them hard, but he felt a soreness in the root of his teeth.

Oh, why are these dumplings so hard?

He didn't care about his demeanor and quickly spit out the dumplings. When he looked closely, he couldn't help but feel happy. It turned out that there was a copper coin hidden in the dumpling.
