My husband is a sick cat

Lu Jian acted coquettishly, but Zhou didn't remember her inferiority complex. She immediately changed the subject and said to Lu Jian with a smile, "Okay, I'll feed you later."

Lu Jian immediately laughed proudly, and Tang Ying also laughed when he saw this situation. He turned to Qin Tong and said, "My wife's hand is injured. It's not convenient, but it makes Brother Qin laugh."

Qin Tong was a little surprised. After all, his sister-in-law and his mother were not so close, and his mother was not close to his wet nurse. Tang Ying's wife was actually so close to her mother-in-law. It seemed that this woman was indeed not simple.

Hearing Tang Ying's words, he smiled and nodded to express his understanding, but did not ask how Lu Jian's hand was injured. After all, it was not that familiar.

"It's okay. We have an assessment in the afternoon, so we won't go too far and just go to Linjiang Building for dinner. How about it?"

Where is Linjiang Tower? Tang Ying's family didn't know. After all, they didn't have the habit of eating out, but they still nodded and agreed.

Soon everyone arrived at Linjiang Tower. This Linjiang Tower is located in Chang'anfang. Chang'anfang is on the left after entering the south gate, opposite Changpingfang and close to the city wall.

This Linjiang Restaurant is one of the famous restaurants in Lin'an City. Because it is close to the south gate, it is a place where students from Tianfeng Academy often go to have dinner. Sometimes they even use this restaurant to hold parties or something, so there is a lot of business. It's very nice. Most of the people who come in and out are scholars.

Linjiang Building occupies a large area, with three floors in total, and a garden at the back. Qin Tong took Tang Ying and his family directly to the third floor. Although the second floor is similar to the third floor, they are all private rooms, but in the restaurant There is a default rule that the higher the floor, the higher the price of the private room.

Seeing Qin Tong leading them directly to the third floor, Tang Ying had another estimate of Qin Tong's identity. However, Lu Jian looked unconcerned. She turned to look at the surrounding decorations and occasionally whispered to Zhou. In two words, Zhou was not given any time to think.

It was almost noon and it was time to eat. Many students from Tianfeng College came to eat. When they saw Qin Tong and the others coming up, many people greeted Qin Tong and saw Tang Yingdu. Although he was confused, he didn't ask any more questions. He just remembered Tang Ying secretly.

When several people entered the private room, the waiter had already brought a pot of hot tea and a plate of exquisite pastries. After putting them down, he asked Qin Tong with a smile: "Mr. Qin, what do you want to eat today?"

Qin Tong looked at Tang Ying: "Brother Tang, do you have any taboos?"

Tang Ying wanted to say no, but Lu Jian spoke first: "My husband doesn't eat sweet or spicy food, and his taste is relatively bland."

Qin Tong glanced at Lu Jian in surprise, then looked at Tang Ying, who looked helpless but had a smile in her eyes, and said to the waiter with a smile: "Then just serve something light."

The waiter nodded in agreement and was about to leave when Lu Jian spoke again: "Waiter, what is the signature dish in your store?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, but he still introduced him. The dishes sounded like heavy meat dishes. Lu Jian's eyes suddenly lit up and he turned to look at Qin Tong: "Mr. Qin, can you also bring the signature dishes?" One portion?"

Qin Tong had never seen someone so rude, but such a temperament was surprisingly comfortable. At least this kind of person didn't need to wonder what she was thinking, so he smiled and nodded in agreement.

The waiter calculated it and realized that according to this requirement, there would be at least a dozen dishes, which these few people might not be able to finish. However, this had nothing to do with him, so he nodded in agreement with a smile and left.

After the waiter left, Lu Jian looked at Qin Tong and asked curiously: "Why is this restaurant called Linjiang Tower? Is there a river here?"

"There is no river here, there is only the Lin'an River, but you can't see it from our private room. You have to look in another direction. The Lin'an River is in the flower forest opposite the college. When you are free in the future, Brother Tang can I took my sister-in-law to see it, the scenery there is very good."

Qin Tong answered Lu Jian's question and finally made a recommendation, but he did not say that the Baihua Forest actually had another name, called Acacia Forest.

Because there are various flower trees and fruit trees planted in this flower forest, the scenery is very beautiful when they bloom. There are also many pavilions built in the forest. When the flowers bloom, many young girls go to enjoy the flowers. Because they go there Most of them are unmarried people. If you meet here, it's easy to fall in love.

Therefore, this forest is also called the Acacia Forest. However, married people can also go there, but most of them are not very willing to go. After all, this forest is a place where people miss each other and have trysts.

Tang Ying didn't know this, so he just nodded and changed the topic.

"Brother Qin, do you know what the assessment is this afternoon? I just heard that the college assessment is stricter, but I didn't notice that it actually takes two exams."

"Actually, this was a rule only last year. In the past, the academy's assessment was just one test, similar to the one you took just now. It's just that since last year, there has been an additional assessment, which tests the art of archery."

"Sheyu?"

Tang Ying was a little surprised. Although the masters once said that as a scholar, you must be able to do all six things. These six things are etiquette, music, archery, chastity, calligraphy, and arithmetic. But many times, what they actually come into contact with are The latter two items occasionally come into contact with the first two items.

The two items in the middle are a little behind. After all, these two items are not tested in the scientific examination, and these two items require effort to learn. Many people simply do not have the conditions to learn, and gradually they are wasted. , but I didn’t expect that Tianfeng Academy would actually assess these two items.

Seeing Tang Ying's surprise, Qin Tong was also a little surprised: "Brother Tang, don't you know that the emperor announced two years ago that these two items will be added to the future scientific examinations?"

Tang Ying really didn't know this. After all, he had never paid attention to this since he gave up the imperial examination. After others knew about his situation, almost no one talked to him about the imperial examination.

It was not until two months ago that he decided to continue the scientific examination again because of Lu Jian. It was just because he had been reading at home and did not go to any private schools or colleges, so he really didn't know about it.

"I don't know."

Tang Ying gave a short answer, but did not explain why he didn't know. Qin Tong felt a little confused, but seeing that Tang Ying didn't want to say anything, he didn't continue to ask. He just said comfortingly: "It doesn't matter if you don't know. The scientific examination will be held next year. It shouldn’t be too difficult to add these two items for the first time.”

"And I heard that the emperor was worried that our health was too poor to support the various affairs of the court, so he added these two assessments. It's not too difficult, as long as you know how to do it. After all, we are the literary champions and we are not Wu Zhuangyuan."

Tang Ying nodded to express his understanding and chuckled: "To be honest, Brother Qin, I am not in good health. I'm afraid I won't be able to take part in the afternoon assessment. Will this affect my admission?"

Qin Tong had noticed before that Tang Ying was relatively thin. He thought that the other person's body was like this, but he didn't expect that he was really in poor health. He immediately understood why Tang Ying didn't know about this.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you are in good health later, you can handle it with practice."
