Chapter 51
Ji Minghui immediately accepted it, but gave Ji Jingbai a look.
Ji Jingbai: "?"
Ji Minghui coughed dryly, and then said with erratic eyes: "Since my cousin has not had a good rest, let's go to Minghui's house for dinner quickly, so that we can come back early to rest. The food at Minghui's house has been prepared, and Minghui came here just to call the cousin."
My cousin, sister-in-law, and Daya are going to have dinner."
Ye Guoguo was a little worried that she would fall asleep standing up if she continued to listen to their talk. She was eager to eat quickly, so Ji Minghui's words naturally played into her mind.
She immediately nodded her head twice: "Yeah, yeah."
Eat quickly.
Have a meal.
So, I came to Jishan's house for dinner.
It was just dark.
Under the oil lamp, there was a square table, two people on one side, Ji Jingbai and Ye Guoguo on the other side, Ji Shan and Gu Shi on the other side, Ji Daya and Ji Mingyue on the other side, and Ji Minghui on the other side.
In addition to braised pork, stir-fried pork with dried bamboo shoots, stir-fried bacon with garlic moss, vegetable and tofu soup, stir-fried lettuce, and scrambled eggs with pepper, Gu also specially killed an old hen.
There was also a small jar of wine on the table.
The rice is white rice.
Normally, the family would be reluctant to eat like this no matter what, and usually they wouldn't be able to treat guests so lavishly, but this morning I received a lot of gifts, including wine, meat, and polished rice, so I used them accordingly to make this meal.
The meal looked quite sumptuous, and their minds, which were uneasy about receiving such a heavy gift, felt much better.
Although there was wine, only Ji Shan, Ji Jingbai, and Ji Minghui each had a small wine cup in front of them. Ye Guoguo and the others did not have one in front of them.
"Jingbai, Guo Yatou, Da Ya, eat. You guys eat." Both Ji Shan and Gu greeted them enthusiastically. In addition, everyone was familiar with each other, so the scene was very lively.
Ji Shan personally poured a glass of wine for Ji Jingbai to express his gratitude to Ji Jingbai for joining the army for him and Ji Tian.
As a junior, Ji Jingbai quickly stood up and took a drink with him.
Then Ji Jingbai also toasted Ji Shan.
After sitting down, Ji Minghui filled Ji Jingbai's glass again, picked up his wine and toasted Ji Jingbai: "Cousin, Minghui respects you."
Ji Jingbai drank.
While Ji Minghui filled Ji Jingbai's mouth again, he said: "Cousin, there are people in their 70s who are taking the exams for academic honors. Last time Minghui personally saw an old man in his 160s and passed the exams. I dare to ask my cousin if he is willing.
Will you enter school again and take the path of literary examination? Will you be successful in the future?"
Ji Jingbai said calmly: "Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in heaven. Since I joined the army that day, it was naturally my destiny. You can't force it."
In other words, even if he is still young, he will not think about getting any fame.
Because Ye Guoguo was busy eating, she had no time to care about their arrogance, so she naturally didn't feel that their conversation made her sleepy.
However, she glanced at the wine cup in her husband's hand from time to time. Ah, I really want to drink...
"Cousin, a few days ago, Minghui even heard Mr. praise you, saying that among the students he has seen in his life, you are the most talented and no one can match him. I only regret that you did not take the imperial examination and let your pearls be covered in dust. If Mr.
I must be happy to know that you are still alive."
Ji Minghui's current teacher is the same teacher who taught Ji Jingbai.
Even after ten years, whenever he talked about the students he taught, the teacher still praised Ji Jingbai, a student who knew everything at once and felt sorry for him.
Ji Jingbai only said: "When you get back, say hello to sir for me."
It’s clear that I still don’t want to.
"Cousin——"
Ji Minghui still wanted to persuade him, but Ji Shan saw that Ji Jingbai was determined not to take this road again. He was afraid that the good atmosphere would become tense, so he quickly cut it off and said with a smile: "Minghui, you kid, you are so sorry."
