Luo Shi's mind was thinking rapidly, and he suddenly felt surprised.
Could it be that I am thinking too far ahead?
Although Song Jingyun came first in the imperial examination, he is just a child student at the moment. And according to his age, it is not too early to be admitted as a child student at this time. It is enough to show that Song Jingyun may not be talented, but probably only in the late stage. Just be diligent.
And in the future there will be college examinations, rural examinations...
The difficulty is getting higher and higher, and it is not easy to stand out.
What I will probably need to do more in the future is to help Song Jingyun find an official position, which is just some way of making a living.
In short, no matter what the situation is, as she just thought, if there is a way to repay her kindness, she will feel at ease.
Luo Shi nodded repeatedly, "It's natural. It's just that Mrs. Jiang declined. It's okay to leave nothing else behind. This time I specially brought a two-hundred-year-old ginseng and an excellent Polygonum multiflorum. They are both of high quality. , it’s better to accept these two things.”
No matter how well-off the peasants live, they still lack some things, such as these precious medicinal materials.
If anything happens, these things may still come in handy.
"Madam, if you're kind enough, we'll accept it shamelessly..."
Jiang Michia did not refuse anymore.
Luo Shi sat and chatted with Jiang Michia and Liu for a while.
Knowing that the Liu family and Jiang Youcheng only had an only daughter, Jiang Michia, and that Song Jingyun was their son-in-law, the smile on Luo Shi's face became even wider.
The only daughter was not adopted or adopted, and Song Jingyun got along very harmoniously with the family, which clearly shows that the family were all good-natured people.
When they heard about their bamboo weaving business and the porcelain kiln business in the village, they nodded in appreciation.
Good people accumulate virtues and blessings, so it is appropriate to have a happy and healthy family and abundant financial resources.
The conversation struck a chord, and Luo Shi was not reserved and also talked about the daily trivial matters at home.
Therefore, Jiang Michia's family also knew something about the situation in Luo's family.
Master Cao serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he and Luo Shi are distant cousins. The two hit it off in the capital, and their families also agreed very much. It can be said that they are a match made in heaven. After marriage, the couple is harmonious and has a good relationship with each other. They are the envy of others in the capital.
However, Luo was in frail health and had no children for many years after her marriage.
In the end, Concubine Cao arranged for the imperial doctor to see her, and after careful nursing, she became pregnant and gave birth to Cao Jinzhuo.
Cao Jinzhuo was born with a weak fetus and was skinny and small until she was one year old. It was not until she was one year old that she gained some flesh and became chubby.
But although Cao Jinzhuo is now in good health like an ordinary child, can see things, hear sounds, and laughs when teased, at this age, he has never spoken a word.
Others often say that noble people are slow to speak.
But Cao Jinzhuo, who is over one year old and almost two years old, does not know how to call daddy or mommy, and does not even utter "ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" as usual, is still somewhat different in the eyes of everyone.
Although he asked the imperial doctor to examine him and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal about Cao Jinzhuo, Luo Shi also had some suspicions in his mind.
My son is probably mute.
Therefore, Cao Jinzhuo was worried about Cao Jinzhuo's affairs, and due to the physical deficit after childbirth, Luo Shi was still unable to get pregnant again. Cao Jinzhuo became Luo Shi's only child so far.
Even if her child is really unable to speak in the future, as far as Luo Shi is concerned, it will not affect her love for him.
When Luo Shi mentioned these things, he also swallowed for a while.
Jiang Michia and others also felt quite sorry and hurriedly offered words of comfort.
Even Song Jingyun, who had been silent for most of the time since Luo Shi entered the hall, now spoke up, "It's a blessing, the young master must be fine."
Seeing the entire Jiang family saying this, Luo Shi's smile returned to his face, "Then let me lend you my good words."
After talking for a while, seeing that it was getting late and it was already lunch time, Luo stood up and left.
She really got along well with this family, and Luo Shi couldn't wait to stay here for lunch.
It's just that when I came here, I brought a lot of maids, servants and guards. If I had lunch here, I would definitely cause a lot of trouble to others.
I am here to express my gratitude, and there is absolutely no reason to cause trouble to others for nothing.
Luo Shi thought for a while and had to give up.
Jiang Michia's family sent Luo Shi and Cao Jinzhuo, who was already asleep, out.
Before leaving, Jiang Michia and Mr. Liu packed up some local specialties, while Song Jingyun dug a pot of flowers and plants from the yard and gave them to Luo as a return gift.
Reciprocity of courtesy was common, so Luo accepted them all.
After watching the carriage leave Jiangjiacun and gradually go away, Jiang Michia's family returned home.
"Why did you think of sending potted flowers to Mrs. Cao as a return gift?" After arriving home, Jiang Michia asked, "Do you have anything special to say?"
"There's nothing special to say, but I remember this flower. Master Xun once said it was called the flower across the river. I was thinking, river flower, why don't you speak? Give this potted flower to Mrs. Cao. Will Cao Jinzhuo be able to speak?" Song Jingyun scratched his ears and answered.
Jiang Michia, "..."
A bad homophonic joke?
Enduring the helplessness, Jiang Michia still comforted her son-in-law, "That's fine, it's just for good luck."
The little son-in-law's luck has always been good, what if there is a halo?
Even if not, consider it as a thought and blessing.
Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun helped Liu and Jiang Youcheng pack the things brought by Luo.
Those precious herbs and the fabrics that Luo insisted on keeping were all placed by Mrs. Liu, while Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun carried out all the books in the large box.
The thread-bound books have excellent paper feel to the touch, but probably because they have been stored for a long time, they exude a unique smell and a slight fragrance of ink over time. If you flip through one of the books at random, you can see the neat handwriting in it.
In some words, the explanations in small regular script are clearly visible. Even if the paper is yellowed, the ink stains are not smudged. It can be seen that enough effort has been put into the preservation of these books.
In this era, although engraving and printing existed, it was not popular. Most of the books sold on the market were copied manually. The manual copying method destined the books to be expensive and low in popularity.
Therefore, books are indeed very precious things in this era.
Luo Shi sent so many books, each of which is unusual in the market, which can be said to be a great help.
Just by watching Song Jingyun holding the books and reading them with gusto while sorting them out, he knew how much these things reflected his thoughts.
Mrs. Cao really did what she wanted.
The books were almost sorted, Mrs. Liu had already prepared the noodles and was urging them to eat.
Hearing the commotion, Song Jingyun immediately put down the book in his hand and picked up Jiang Michia, "Madam, let's go, let's eat."
Jiang Michia, "..."
